So sad! I might not have the opportunity again. God dey sha

Thank you for your response.

Check your mail, I need to ask you some questions.

forgiven505:
Hello all,

Forgive me if this my issue is long. Want to give as much details as possible for the best assistance.

Hoping to get some further guidance/advise as I’m feeling quite hopeless right now regarding my express entry process.

I’ve spent a couple of weeks going through this thread and although it’s given me a bit of hope, I’m still feeling quite sad.

I just started my Canadian journey and my CRS is only 442 . My profile:
35 years single female (soon to be 36 in a few months), no child.
Masters degree
6 plus years working experience
IELTS- R7 L8.5 W7 S8

I don’t have any family or friends in Canada. I only have a few former work colleagues who I’m not close to. My NOC is not in demand (Human Resources).

I’ve explored the various provinces but all require ties to Canada like a family member. I have none. I still put forward EOI to Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan but I’m not hopeful because both have that ties to Canada clause. I tried Manitoba but it didn’t even allow me to submit my profile without a family tie. What do I do? So I just wait and pray? When I turn 36, my score will reduce to 437. Even worse. I asked someone and they said I should learn French. At this my old age, it’s not really looking possible and I was told that realistically it would take me about 18 months to learn French and do the exam to get the adequate scores. It’s like I should just give up without the family ties.

Please what next? I would also appreciate joining WhatsApp groups for Canada immigration.

Many thanks

You don't have to give up, learning french at this your supposed old age is quite feasible, I read somewhere on this Canadian thread of a guy in his forties who had to learn french from the basis, wrote and passed TEF, I think he has even gotten his PPR.
I'm a single lady like you also, I couldn't go through FSW cos of age, I had to go through PNP, fortunately I got SINP ITA in 2019, applied and finally got nominated in Sept 2020, currently waiting for my golden mail. If you have up to 10 years working experience, register for an EOI in SINP, your points should be 68 or 69 , you could be very lucky they might draw and include those with 10 years experience with 68/69 points.

Nevertheless do not loose hope, learn the french, and still explore other options, wish you the best.

Hello,

please i need help.

does a 38 years old woman, works in a bank and have a masters degree have an hope/chance in FSW program?

Of course you still stand a chance though you've got to put in more effort at getting your desired goals. Your scores would be low on the CRS calculator due to your age, but there are different ways to increase your score
a Do you have a sibling in Canada?
b Are you multi lingual (i.e both French and English)
c Research PNP sites and check if you qualify for any program
d Ensure your job roles and responsibilities falls into NOC 0 A or B ( most important)

In all, your best bet would be either to write both IELTS & French exams or to go through Provincial Nomination if your occupation is in Demand. It's a pity the PNP thread has been closed, I wish the mods could reopen it again.

Hello everyone!
I’m a tad worried about my proof of funds with the way CAD has been fluctuating. I’ll be submitting my application sometime this week and 4 million naira is all I can spare right now for POF. I’ve been worried sick that with the whole fluctuation going on, it might not be enough. Someone advised I either add an extra 500k to cushion whatever effects the changes might bring(I can’t afford the extra till maybe next year) or decline ITA to buy extra time to add more cash. What do you all kindly suggest?

Secondly my bank reference has no average six months balance like in the CIC format. It was a huge hassle of going to the bank every day for two weeks to get this one. Will a six month bank statement suffice instead? There was hardly any activity in the account these six months though

It depends on the number of your family members, 4M is okay for a family of 1, as the equivalent is 13,353.6 CAD on oanda as of today and 13,635.2 on Govt of Canada site.
I see no reason why you should reject your ITA if you are a single applicant, a lot of people have actually recieved their PPR using the usual bank generic reference letter with an attached 6 months bank statement. I think you should think it through before pressing the decline tab, all the best.
