SlowlybtSurely:
OP, thanks alot for creating this thread. Very informative. I'm also awaiting my PR visa.

Looks like most of you are in Alberta. Anyone in Ottawa or Montreal? I'm looking for a city with low standard of living but with a good University where I can obtain a 2-year Nursing degree (after first degree) and has high employment rate for people in the finance sector as hubby will be ACCA certified by the time we will be moving.

Also which province has very subsidised day cares cos we have a toddler.



Which province can I get student loan without having to live there for a long time? I want to start school immediately after landing so I would have to do the processing from Naija. Is this possible?

Is it feasible for one person to work and keep the family afloat while the other goes to school (full time)? Keep in mind that we have two kids with only one being of school age.

Is anyone amongst you doing this Nursing-after-first-degree program or know someone who is? I've some very pressing questions I would love answered.

Justwise please, let's limit this thread to life in Canada for immigrants. Any questions or enquiries not in-line with the subject should be hidden.

Do you mean he has an HND in addition to a bachelor degree?

@Afope,

Write your IELTS, there's nothing stopping you from getting a positive assessment.

Start the process now...

bellong:


How many years of experience does he have?

Does his duties align with that of ANZSCO descriptions?

Does he have any other finance related qualification?

Which school did he finish from?

bellong:
@Deesmom,

What's your qualifications?


@Cecegal,

It is good for your husband to be the principal applicant. Don't even bother about the customer service manager occupation, you can't meet the conditions imposed on it.

bellong:


Have you checked the Skilled Occupation lists for an occupation that closely match your skills?

bigass:


Are you Hnd, Bsc or Masters

I ask because of you score 433.

Kindly answer this questions. as i am having getting 433 as score same with you in Ielts

justwise:


Done.

..but there is no excuse for blatantly breaking the rule and claim ignorance of it.

Hello Deesmom.
Congratulations on your Ontario nomination.
It is easy to tell you to accept the nomination; however, i belong to the school of thought to "think of the end before you begin". you have alot to consider before accepting that nomination. There is a $1500 non-refundable fee, do you have ties/affiliation in ontario? To top all these, your PoF is yet to meet the requirement. Is the process not "dead on arrival"?

if you are yet to exhaust the chances to increase your score, i beg you to wait. but if you have no other option:
1. Decline this nomination.
2. Prepare your funds, when it meets their requirement;
3. Delete your existing profile
4. Re-enter the pool

you will get a nomination almost immediately, then accept.

Caveat though, this is what is obtainable at the moment. Any changes can occur anytime

Use the link below
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

As the poster above rightly said, the 6.5 you scored in Reading has made you lose over 50 points.




Zandora, I tried using that link but I didn't see where to calculate my score. I want to. Know how many points L 8.5;R 7.5 ; W 7.0 ; S 7.5 would fetch me

yinx007:
i just got my IELTS results today.. speaking 7.5, reading 7.0, writing 7.0 and listening 8.5 total band score 7.5

is this enough to apply?? cos i just confuse. i expected more sef

irondome:


Yeah, she could explore the thin line between head of operation and team leader operations. Don't forget that CIC tends to match job description ahead of job title. For instance, If her duty as a back-up to the head of operation closely matches the job description specified by CIC, I opine that she might be okay using that NOC (of course with a caveat).
