Finally seen someone in my field. Also have Bsc Geology and Msc petroleum geoscience. Although I have been seeing some geology jobs on indeed here and there was one ExxonMobil one and there is even a Canadian govt one now that deadline is in Oct. 2019. However since I hear the oil industry is shaking in alberta I am open to a career change. My sis is in ontario so I plan to go there for family support since I have small children and my hubby isn't relocating yet. I am thinking of project management plan to do to PMP certification here in naija before leaving.

Good day Seniors and all. I am happy to have gone through the last thread and this new one. You are indeed doing a great job. I can gladly say I am part of this thread now. I submitted my application since October 2019, glory to God, I got my PPR Jan 15, 2019 and my application has been approved too. I will be picking up my Passport from VFS this week. I intend to land in Calgary in MAY, 2019. Below are my profile and questions

- Single Applicant (Age: 33)

- Education (Bsc Geology, Msc. Petroleum Geology)

- Certification:
- Advanced Food Safety management training (A pre-arrival program sponsored by the Canadian government)
- CCNA & CCNP (Expired since 2012)
- Several Oil & Gas training courses

- Work experience.
- Current: Realtor/Real Estate agent (3 yrs)
- Previous: (Water Borehole Geologist (3 yrs)

(1) I understand I will need the APEGA licence to work and also that the oil & Gas sector of Alberta is quite down now, I would have loved to work in this sector. Has anyone gotten a job on landing as a Geologist without the licence?

(2) I also understand that I need a licence to practice in the Real Estate sector too. Has anyone gotten a job as a Realtor or Real Estate Agent with monthly pay (plus commission) in Calgary, If yes, how viable & financially rewarding is it? I wouldn't mind doing a short course for this if I can truly get a job quick in the sector. I also don't mind referrals

(3) I did the Pre-arrival Advanced food safety management training course (it is a 21- certificates course). Do we have anyone here working in the food processing industry, can I get a job on landing with this certificates.

(3) Lastly, I am open to new opportunities and don't mind changing career path as long as I can get a good job. If I am to do this. Which other paths and sectors can I explore that will be financially rewarding in the long run, which will also lead me to the managerial position someday. Pls note, I am ready to go back to school and do diploma course for this. I already checked out some courses in SAIT, but I need to know which one is really viable with huge job prospect.

- I am sorry for my long post, I would like inputs from our seniors living in Calgary. cc Salford1, Einsteino etc. Thanks

- Can someone Pls add me to the calagary whatsapp group. Thanks

Thank you

@ aworldcitizen.

Mine took exactly 11months. I suggest you send them a mail to politely complain. I did so and 3days later I got my PR. My visa officer mailed to ask if I can make it before medicals expires since it was going to expire shortly. I told him I would make it and the very next day my PR was issued.

Any geologist in the house found geology job in canada.. Pls show me way!

Good afternoon my good people, pls who can help me with a contact in South Africa I am trying to obtain south African PCC.
Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone!

Please, do not ignore

I seem to be a bit late but it's better late than never. Please, is there anyone writing TEF here? Can we meet and rub minds together regarding the exam? A different thread, an occasional meeting or a Whatsapp group would be really nice. I really need some motivation. Just quote me and I will reach out to you.

Regards.

Pls where and how can one register for the TEF exam?

Pls anyone know how long it takes from biodata page request to PPR? Also is biodata page request the final stage before PPR?I also noticed they gave me one month to submit whereas others get 7days. Thirdly Its almost 3weeks since I submitted no PPR yet but some get it next day after they submit. I don't know if I should be worried at this point. Thanks

Hello House ! All Glory to God.....Thank you house for your immeasurable help.

I got my PPR mail yesterday, but I need urgent help as I'm not sure where and how to send my Passport. Below is the instruction in the mail;


As of May 1, 2018, all original documents, including passports, must be submitted via the VAC.

Please see: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/ and follow the instructions under the

“Passport Transmission Services” section."

Please I will appreciate anyone's advise on how they submitted their passport.

Thanks!!![

Congrats pls can you share your timeline.

No ADR , long travel history... I pray I get it soon. Tired of the long wait. Seems they are working on Nov files now. Seen some other nov aor with updated profiles too.

Nov 22nd

Please has anyone here ever logged into their CIC account and see Updated instead of SUBMITTED next to the application.

Pls London visa office gang any idea which month LVO is processing now for PPR FSW stream. MY Aor is since NOV 22nd and I am on IP2 still no news from them.

IP2 since Jan 9th. i thought after few days in IP2 PR mail comes.

Hello guys,
I think I am on IP2 in my application. I got a mail from Integration and Foreign Credential Referral Office on how to find a job in canada. Is that a good sign or just a general message they send to everyone?

Please someone answer my question na, how do I upload my new passport information Post ITA? I had it changed to my husband's name after receiving ITA? The passport information I used to apply my name is locked in and I am about start uploading documents.

Hello All, please someone should answer this question for my express entry profile I used my maiden name for the Expression of interest. Post ITA I had to do a new passport because I don't have up to 6months in my old passport and I used the opportunity to change my maiden name to my husband's name. my question is how do I change my name on my profile because it is locked in. Also do I change the part where they ask for passport number to the new one? I plan to take the new one for my medicals would it cause a problem since it would have a different surname from the one I used to apply for Express entry

Do applications from Nigeria go to London office alone? Also I understand that only if you have worked for 3years that you can get Tax clearance pls somebody should correct me if I am wrong?

Please for those of you that had your babies in USA or Canada any need to attach birth receipt along with the application? Was anyone asked for it?

Gurus in the house please help me answer this question. I have currently been issued an ITA. Can I delete my profile and change my NOC. I just found out that my NOC doesn't have to be the same with my education. I have experience in 2 different NOCs but I based my application on one that is same field as my education but to be honest I have more proof and experience in the second NOC. If I delete my profile and enter d pool again and I get another ITa and change my NOC will it backfire. Will CIC have record of the previous one I wrote?

Please guys, how do they verify one's employment? For those that have gotten PR did they call your employer? The company I work is a very small company we don't even have a website.

Hurray I have gotten my original ielts results. I am ready to create an express entry profile. Canada here I come by God's special grace.

How soon does one get the official ielts results after it appears online? I am hoping to submit express entry profile in time for the next draw just waiting for my ielts result.

Wow..433..I should do quick and apply o before Canada change mind. Please I have a question what if someone gets the cutoff mark but doesn't have work experience would the person be eligible?

Hello people,
I am about to apply for the EE. We are a family of four 2kids and 2adults. My son was born in Canada. Does he need to still do medicals since he is already a citizen and do I need to still pay the application fee for him. I am guessing I do not have to but someone was arguing that I do hence my confusion.

I thank God for this forum. It has been very helpful. Let me also share my experience. I had my baby in Calgary at Peter Lougheed hospital. From my experience I wasted money by giving my host family Dr my 100dollars and then 60 dollars the second visit. The OBY/GYN she found was charging 830dollars for my first visit delivery was going to be at Foothill. DR fee was 5000k ( I was 32weeks pregnant then). I attached the outpatient hospital fee at Foothill.I ran away and found another doctor. There is a clinic called NE women clinic. They understand that foreigners come to give birth in canada and can hook you up with OBY/GYN the docs there are physicians(family dr's) they charge just 50dollars for each visit. The doctor at NE women clinic hooked me up with a doctor at Peter Lougheed. The dr fee was 1020dollars maybe because she started handling my case at 36weeks and all the Dr visit before pregnancy was included in the 1020dollars.I am also attaching the hospital rates at Peter Lougheed. Overall I spent about 10k including all the doctor visits, scans, lab test etc. I waiting to apply for birth certificate. Pls can someone give me the contact at Nigerian embassy for the emergency travel document. Thanks
