there is a pnp thread where you can get necessary info, why not check for it?

femiolorun:
Can we form nrw group, for those looking at PNP maybe we can get someone with better info. You could creat a group and add pls

Abdomox:
Domiciliary account funding is the best option now as rates of all these virtual cards are above black market rates. You can get $ at 571 - 573 depending on volume. Your choice now depends on how much you're paying and your convenience tradeoff.

I wrote similar stuff some weeks back, but was shadow banned. �

you will still fund your dorm account using dollars bought from black market

neurosci:
For someone who already has a bsc, after taking the certificate exam, will he not have to take the diploma exam and then finally the PGD exam? Or is only the certificate exam sufficient to boost his points?

BCS certificate and Bsc is sufficient for 2 or more certificate.

neurosci:
Those who went to polytechnics, got an OND, then transferred to a university to get a bachelor's degree, do they have an advantage over those who went straight to a university to get a bachelor's degree when it comes to the express entry points? I ask this because I want to know if going to a polytechnic to get an OND first and then transferring to a university for a Bsc counts for "two Canadian certificates, diplomas, or degrees, where one is for a program of three years or more."

OND and Bsc is two or more certificates.

Is this same with Lagos please?

IOM and Qlife for Lagos

cinnamon sticks and citrus peels (lemon, lime, oranges) work for removing smells

irijuola:
Thanks lols .
I kuma use instapot for my beans. I think the cinnamon sticks will be my best bet. Cos there was a time I had to spray the kitchen with my perfume just to get the smell out

Joych:
Thanks
Is this part of what you have to submit after receiving ITA within 60days? Nearest available date I am seeing is in Dec

Book what is available but also explain that you have a deadline to submit because you already have ITA, they might be able to squeeze you in for an earlier date.

If all else fails, book for dec, get evidence of booking by email preferably ( even better if they can state that the date you got is the earliest available) as well as screenshot of available dates from their site if available. upload these along with LOE in the placeholder for medicals and once you are able to do the medicals, upload it via webform.

What is your job description, does it match the NOC. is that NOC under 0 A or B.
was it up to 1year, minimum of 30hrs a week. were you paid? can you get a reference for it? If your answers are yes, then go ahead because these are the things the VO will check.

while at it please go through page 1

Pepperoni001:
I was posted to a bakery to manage it....

Will it fly?

yes as long as it falls under the qualifying NOC 0 A or B

Pepperoni001:
Please can someone use NYSC has work experience?

the answer is NO

Efeosa5:
Thanks for the swift respond.
Just to clarify.. do I say yes or no to the question if I've applied before. ?

Nkydechik:
Hello all, URGENT PLS

Please for those that have recently applied for UK police certificate, how did you go about it? Was the application done online or by post? I learnt that it is by post if done from Nigeria , is it true? How long did it take to get to them using NIPOST? Thanks

Hi, the application is done online and if you have someone in the UK or Europe, use their address so its delivered there. Receiver can scan it to you when it arrives. Thats what i did in my case because Nipost cannot be trusted. Took WES sending my ECA 3x before i eventually got 1 the rest were lost.

accra vo here too

DeeAO:
Please what are skills/certifications one can take while waiting. I’m always overwhelmed by the information on here, would appreciate if someone can do a quick breakdown of the most popular or useful ones for Canadian job market. Thank you

anything and everything that can help you career wise. i don't have any specifics unfortunately.

yeldey:
Did IRCC reach out to the person who signed your letter?

I don’t know, i stopped asking after i crossed 6months post AOR but once i saw eligibility passed plus notes i relaxed my mind.

isaacola57:
which visa office? Accra?

Yes

Email and phone number of a contact person preferably the person that signed the letter. Hope it’s on letter-headed paper?

Just include the reference letter!!!! If any further proof is required, they will ask. My own letter mentioned nysc graduate scheme on it and it worked. Gcms notes shows that officer had no issues with it.

Just ensure your duties match the noc you choose.

phillip2:
Happy weekend NL FAM!!

Finally my formal PPA(NYSC) has given me the reference letter. Details included was the normal full time 32 weekly hour, duties, but with a gmail and no website or whatsoever and lastly, NYSC was included that I worked with them through the NYSC scheme and was paid so and so annually. Tho they dint mention my NYSC number or details.

With the above, when submitting my profile should I include bank statement or any file attached to this or its best to leave it like dis??

no be small thing.

phillip2:
Thanks dimple..you don turn my friend finish..

Allegory:
Hi guys, my EE profile was supposed to expire on the 27th September but it's still up. Am I supposed to just create a new one or should I wait until it gets removed

create a new one, this one will show profile expired beside it shortly if it isn't showing already

phillip2:
Please how many hours perweek would be suitable for NYSC and would be okay without raising eyebrows.. 30hrs per week or 40hrs per week?

for work experience requirement, see screenshot from ircc website.

stick to ircc format and you will be fine

honestly, i've moved from learning one thing to another. The only thing left for me right now is to get my HR certification which i'm waiting to do when we arrive. We will survive eventually and all this will be a distant memory.

joselekas:
I think we need to find a coping mechanism as we don't know how long this would last. It's 5 months Post AOR for us and we found one.

My wife and I, both in the ICT industry, have decided to start learning new skills in preparation for the Canadian job market. So we see this waiting period as a time to upskill and reskill. And I'm also looking at the possibility of changing to a new job since that has no impact on my PR processing. I won't pause my life because of Canada.

I know it's hard but we just need to find a way to live our lives to the fullest whilst keeping a tab on updates.

badmanjo:
Thanks, although I've already gotten the one-way ticket and I heard you can now apply for PTA with a one-way ticket on a student visa

This only applies to student with scholarships isued by Nigerian government and other bodies. i know cos i work in a bank and that memo came in yesterday i believe. so technically, no PTA.

sometimes its best to calm down, read and understand. if you paid attention, you would see that i already responded to you before this person did (quoted below again for your attention). Now this post was me saying that he explained better/clearer what i was struggling to explain.

Las las nobody owes you anything here, we just choose to respond because we care.

Dimple10:
Stop trying to confuse yourself and complicate things. Get your reference in the correct format as stated by IRCC ( whether you mention NYSC or not is irrelevant). No need to include bank statements unless they request for more proof of employment. Let the school state how much you were paid on the letter and your duties. I didn't include bank statements for salary only reference letters and my eligibility is passed based on gcms notes. Few others can state the same.

If they ever ask for proof of salary, you write a letter of explanation along with your statement explaining everything including the whole first pay in Camp thing. VO's should be familiar with NYSC by now because of Nigerians that have used it in the past.

phillip2:
Uhmm,sometimes erm, there's virtue in being silent. If I'm confused can't I ask or maybe I'm slow to grab things. What's all dis for.. If I go ahead and do things the wrong way,pple like u will be d first to say why dint u ask. Some pple can grab things easily others cant,.

Finally, in response to this, My answers are written bold

phillip2:
I started NYSC November 21st 2016 in camp, resumed PPA the next year January 2017 and finished November 20th(for instance).. you stated somewhere that you already have 2yrs 9months excluding NYSC so just ask the school for a reference letter for the period of your service year there. whatever dates they put (November 2016 or January 2017) will still cross you over the 3years requirement for max point with IRCC assuming you have 1year continuous experience.

On my NYSC certificate its written as *from 20th November 2016 to 21st November 2017* .. What should my PPA guys input that would seem okay?? No need to include your NYSC certificate with your application. That is going overboard (i think). If they are willing to give you a letter for the full service year, thats fine, if not then go with what they give (refer to my first response above)

Others can share their thoughts

Almost 1year since receiving ITA and 10months post AOR, this journey teaches patience.

Hoping for the best.

phillip2:
I hope I can remove the nysc experience without consequences when my 3 yrs of working experience is complete in January, and there's no draw.

Yes you can successfully remove/change work experience information as long as you have not submitted an application to IRCC.

Falconx47:
You don't want to fumble, but you're just confusing yourself the more.

Gather all the above and decide what's best for your situation, but the moment you start explaining too much, or sounding incoherent in your application, you are already giving room for doubts, and one last question, do your have other experiences besides you NYSC?

Well said. you captured my thoughts better than i could have

Stop trying to confuse yourself and complicate things. Get your reference in the correct format as stated by IRCC ( whether you mention NYSC or not is irrelevant). No need to include bank statements unless they request for more proof of employment. Let the school state how much you were paid on the letter and your duties.

phillip2:
Pls I need urgent and good advice,make I nor go fumble oo..who ask Naem nor de lost,so FAM pls come to my rescue once more,I nor get money for agent.

Orkpeohluwher:
Yea, CRS gave me 474 but my express entry has a total score of 441. This is my concern, please what do you advise?

I suggest you go over everything you put in your profile. I suspect you have made a mistake somewhere. Better still delete this one and redo it

JudiTee:
Good afternoon guys, i just received a response from AVO after informing them of our new born. My question is, am i supposed to courier the documents to them?

Lotusgoddess:
Let me ask again oo. Good afternoon everyone

Please, if my friend wants to evaluate her PGD, will she need HND and OND to submit to WES or she needs only her PGD and HND?

PGD AND either HND or OND IS FINE

Hi peeps.
I just got my ITA for SINP. While filling my EOI, i stated i have a relative over there. When my ITA came out, my cousin already moved to Ontario. Please can I get anyone who can stand in for me as a relative in saskatchewan? I dont want to loose this opportunity. Thank you!

Your relative should be someone you’re related to not strangers on a forum. Why make life hard for yourself and risk getting banned while also making it hard for genuine folks. How exactly will you prove your relationship to this person??

Please delete this post ASAP as it makes no sense whatsoever.
