Hi guys,

Please I need advice on how best to get arranged employment in Canada.

I have over 4 years experience in my field but each time I make application to a Canadian company via LinkedIn they keep rejecting my application.

Thanks,

it is almost impossible to get a job in Canada if you are not in Canada or the US.My advice would be to apply for permanent residence.

Hello Please I need advice on the SINP application.

I am uploading documents against when SINP opens again but I can’t find where to upload the federal forms, passport for spouse/dependent and birth certificate for spouse/dependent might it be because the SINP application is closed.

Thank you.

Please has anyone got an idea about this ?

Woohoo!!! Someone I applied to SINP EE Category for this December has been nominated by the province already, left for him to get ITA when the next draw is done. Everyone who's interested should go to their website and familiarize yourself with the procedure, create your profile, fill the forms and attach them such that as soon as they announce it has been opened, you just enter and click submit. I wish everyone who's applied but yet to get a decision the best outcome.

Merry Xmas and happy new year in advance to you JesusDway.what is the profession of the person.

Does anyone know how many points from the SINP point grid HND gets 15 or 20.

Please has anyone got experience/advise on proof of funds and car loan.would be amount of car loan be deducted from the required proof of funds amount in ones account.

22nd draw done,December 4, 2015. A total of 1,451 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for Canadian permanent residence were issued to candidates with 461.

In my opinion,i believe points would continue to drop so please be prepared.

JesusDWay:
The diploma was done before your Bsc and as such, it wont give you extra marks. You only get marks for two certificates if the diploma was done after your first degree

Hi jesusDway,Can you please share where you got the information that the Diploma must be after the degree for it to be recognized as two or more certs.

Thank you very much for sharing Grand master kasparov

Garykasparov:
Good day,
I like to share something interesting, though its a private mail,i however hope it will be of some benefit. Secondly, aside the information, its a good piece of writing. For those experiencing challenges in writing, look at the write-up below keenly, it is the kind of structure expected in our ielts writing- the paragraghs, the sentence structures(simple, compound, complex), commas, and fullstop.

[b]Dear Gary,

The advises already given are true but I will add some things as a resident in Canada at the moment. You may be able to take some better decision if you are ready to face some facts that are highlighted below (it may look lengthy because of some details because it may be of help to educate as many as may need the information, kindly bear with me):

1) Canada is a country filled with a lot of opportunities. It is a lot different from countries like UK and even America. The number of illegal immigrants here are very low so it is easier to get into the system. However, there is usually a gestation period for your investment to florish. Accountants are doing great here. A major factor is where you reside, grace of God and luck as it is everywhere. Dont think of settling down in popular cities like Toronto. Im not saying the place is bad but you can try some developing provinces. In all, Canadians are one of the best people to relate with though they are strict on rules. No cutting corners. It is true you will face others who you are competing for thesame jobs here but you can have a great edge if you are ready to face the reality on time by getting any of the certification here.

2) Since the era of Enron, accounting profession had changed. There are lots of rules you must be able to know as a guide hence, you must get certification via CA, CMA or CGA. Even if you are partly certified, you can easily pick a good job. Not for Nigerians alone. Even Canadians, it is thesame. For those in Engineering field, especially those in Energy industry, you can get a job withing same month of arrival. It is not so with accounting. Canada believe in their own certifications. Even with 6 months diploma, you are better than some managers when you get a job here. The first rule is that you must think towards getting a certification here. That does not mean there are no exceptions but very few. Meanwhile, the moment you get certified here, you will surely pick very good job with very good pay. That is guaranranteed. They value their eduation here and sincerely, it is true.

3) However, if you have ACCA, you can get immediate certification as a CGA with your writting a course and you can pick a job faster here. The reciprocal MOU was just signed last year. When ICAN enter into mutual agreement, it was with CA, a body that requires you to be a Canadian citizen before you can be certified. Even when they seems to have changed, most people do not really relate with them. Most people join CGA and CMA. They all know ICAN. You can get some exceptions in their certification process to push you ahead. The accounting certification courses here are expensive because the benefits are enormous, but as a resident, you can get govt loan for any form of EDUCATION you do here. You will pay with great convenience.

4) Just like it took sometime for someone who came to Lagos before he can start working, it is also thesame here and everywhere. It may not be something you get on the day you arrive here but you can start on a good job within a short time. The issue of menial job is not common here as in the other countries. No employer can exploit you here. Everyone is equally protected by law. If you accuse someone of racism, it may lead to jail if confirmed. Infact, when you prepare your resume here, you dont put things like age, place of birth, gender, etc. Even if your school indicates your counrty, with a good resume cum experience, they will call you. Most employment starts with your getting trhough an employment agancy that has the jobs and link you to the employer. They are being paid for their services and when you perform in their tests, you are done. As an accountant here, your best tool is being good on excel. It is a prerequisite. Most of the agencies will test your proficiency on it.

5) You must be ready to sacrifice writing their exam even if it is to pass few courses. The moment you do that, you are on track. All jobs are regulated here. The moment you get some certifications, there is a minimum salary you can be paid. Meaning, nobody can demeaning or cheat you the way things seems to be in Nigeria where Chartered Accountants were Tellers in banks and even on contract jobs.

6) Government have a lot of programs including orientation here free of charge to assist an average immigrant to start life. They have some welfare benefits you are entitled to as a legal immigrant. With resident permit, so many benefits awaits you.

7) With my experience, I noticed that the citizens are placing some barries for people to enter their systems because as reasonable human being, if they dont, they will be sent parking from their land. They dont read so much here and when you come with ``plenty`` certificates as we do in Nigeria, without any barrier to slow you down a bit, you may outshine them hence they want you to proof your qualifications. The moment you are able to do that, no barriers again.

If you have resident permit and you have a good job in Nigeria, come and settle your family first. Get as much reserve (savings) as you can then come and join up. Even if you are managing, still try and make provision for something to assist you before you complete any certification (average of 6 months). That was my own approach and i`m seriously better for it. Some living expenses here are a bit expensive especially accommodation. But for food and basic things to settle down like furnitures, beddings, TV, Fridge etc, you will get them FREE (It sound odd but true). Govt will supply you majority of food items you need for your first one year. You will only need to buy few things that have expiry dates like milk and bread. Many Nigerian are doing well here. I will advise you to link up with some of those who are here that you know to confirm some of my claims.

9) Education is free for the children until they enter University. You are even paid child care benefit monthly which may be close to some people`s salary in some Nigeria employments. Many that are here came for the future of their children and it all depend on you on what you felt. Those whose children schooled here dont face what a new immigrant faces on arrival. Their parent already planted them on the land.

10) The economy is improving at a great speed here after the meltdown. The discrimination people fear is not as much pronunced. Maybe because of where I am based, but you have all opportunities to succeed. You can also predict the level of possible progress of things as you get on here.

11) Nobody can like you more than you like yourself. The decision on what to do is purely yours after weighing the pros and cons. While some may feel good coming, some may not. However, most of those I know that came here, I dont think it is common to see anyone that want to run back to Nigeria. If your view is based on the fact that ``without pain, there may be no gain``, you may try it out. For me, I was doing well in Nigeria and here, by God`s grace, no regret for coming.

I wish you the best of luck[/b].

Anyone read this yet ?

"Express Entry The Express Entry immigration selection system, which came into operation on January 1, 2015, was the key change in economic immigration made by the previous government. It moved Canada from a supply-driven (or first-come first-served) economic immigration model to a demand-driven (or ‘Expression of Interest’) system, with a strong focus on employment in Canada and the involvement of the private sector. Rather than doing away with Express Entry, the Liberals have pledged to conduct a review of the system. The Liberal Party platform proposes that candidates with siblings in Canada should be granted additional points under the Express Entry system. Under the Liberals, elements of family reunification may seep into economic immigration policy". - See more at: http://www.cicnews.com/2015/10/canadian-immigration-liberals-win-election-106361.html#sthash.AHfcnzdn.dpuf

“For individuals who are currently eligible for an economic immigration program, I would strongly encourage pursuing permanent residence as soon as possible. The Liberals have stated that they are looking to make changes to the Express Entry system, but those changes have not yet been defined. While some candidates’ points may increase as a result of any changes, others may see a decrease or stagnation, reducing the competitiveness of their profile. Indeed, eligibility requirements to even enter the pool could be changed if the federal economic programs are changed. Therefore, it is now hugely important for individuals who are eligible to enter the pool to do so before the new government can draft new regulations and implement them.” - See more at: http://www.cicnews.com/2015/10/canadian-immigration-liberals-win-election-106361.html#sthash.AHfcnzdn.dpuf

Canada got first new leader in 10 years, Justin Trudeau's Liberal party won the election. Fingers crossed on what changes the liberal party would make to the immigration program.

Can someone please advise me if this result is good enough

Mornin guys, I did d Sinp thing last week and uploaded all docs except pof. It was too emergent and limited funds in my acct. I jst discovered now that I have about 1.2m in my bank acct and 3.6m I my rsa acct. Would it suffice if I send those through their mail address? Note: I entered 14,400cdn a available funds whch is equivalent to 2.4m. Thanks in anticipation.

Also, if u wrote ielts g.t yestday, you can hook me up let's rub minds.

Wrote the G.T yesterday but not in naija,not sure if its the same Question all over the world...My listening (Section 4) was about Moa birds in AU.

JesusDWay:
Yeah, that's it!

Thank you for your reply..very very good news.

JesusDWay:
They might let it cover for the OND as well. From what I've seen, they put two years diploma in front of OND, and they put 3years diploma and 1year postgraduate certificate in front of HND. They then put postgraduate certificate as the summary. The only thing is that they may write in front of the OND that transcript wasn't sent but then his certificate was sent and since HND is higher which is their central focus, I think your hubby is good.

If however the evaluation comes out with a problem on it, you can arrange for the OND transcript to be sent and added, a new evaluation will be done at likely no charge

@ JesusDWay if WES evaluates OND and HND as you have written above,does this mean that it would fall under Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years (119 points...level of education)

Thank you Zandora for creating this new thread.

Hello,

Has anyone got HND qualification assessed by WES,My wife got HND,I am wondering if it would be considered as two or more certificates.diploma.....One must be for a program of three or more years.(more points )

Please I need an advice, WES sent verification documents to my former institution since about 1 month now but the school keeps saying they have not received it yet, is it advisable to ask WES to send the verification documents to the school through international courier

Hello @solomonwis,More Grease to your elbow,Please do you have a sample of how the experience reference letter should be written,a friend of mine told me it must be written in a particular format

Hello @solomonwis,Moe Grease to you elbow,Please do you have a sample of how the experience reference letter should be written in,a friend of mine told me it must be written in a particular format.

Can someone please help me with a list of documents that would be required when filling out your application online after getting the invitation to apply, probably documents like employment certificates etc...please

I salute the courage of those going through the express entry and wanting to relocate to Canada, I would also like to do the same thing but the question I keep asking myself is, would I get a job when I get there? How sure are we that when we finally get selected for the PR we would be able to secure a job in Canada…it’s just my thought. Maybe am been pessimistic. Is someone in this forum or someone in the forum that has a relative of friend that went through the FSWP that can actually explain what it takes to get a job in Canada because I have not heard of anyone getting a job through the Canadian job bank.
