*MY TESTIMONY (14th April 2019)*

If you're reading this, know I have found favour before the Almighty God.

*Timeline*
ITA --- Oct 3rd 2018
AOR --- Oct 26th
BIL -- Nov 29
ADR -- March 9
Submitted- March 26
Interview invite - April 12
Interview April 30
PPR-- April 30.

I appreciate God almighty for being my Ebenezer, my glory & the lifter of my head, my strength, my peace, my provider & my supplier. My champion the host of heaven, the captain of my destiny. Words cannot describe Him, words cannot express my gratitude.

Special appreciation goes to everyone, for as many that are still waiting on God in one point or another, I pray the outstretched hand of God shows up on your case.

Sorry it’s coming late, I just got back from Accra.

All I can say is WOW!!! You have such an amazing network of family and friends. Your testimony struck a chord in my heart and I bless God it has ended in praise for you. If I may ask, what was d reason for the interview initially?

Good evening house, please can somebody explain what the tie Breaking rule in ITA means?

akereconfi:



I did and what I have is 361.

Can I get provincial nomination with this?

I would suggest you retake ielts and aim for 8777 in lrws. You will definitely need to practice a lot. Also try to enroll for an additional certificate, like a post-grad diploma, BCS etc that you can complete in less than a year. Your crs points will greatly improve after that.

Cheta55:

Please everyone, I have been asking this question and no one is responding, the thing is that my friend has HND and OND and she doesn't want to use WES for some reason so now she want to know if ICES evaluates HND and OND as two or more certificates just like WES is doing, please someone should answer. Thank you for your response

Why not use Wes? It is cheaper at only 227 cad for every thing and you get two or more certificates. Ices is 200 CAD for each certificate making it 400cad minus courier cost. The only ish with WES is d request for sch cert which has been easy now by fellow Nairalanders.

Ifeoma77:

Yam in itself is not a contraband item but on the banned list is '...anything containing soil...'
So the only way to bring in your yam is to bring it peeled

What if the yams are washed thoroughly, I mean with the kind of thoroughness of an obsessive/compulsive?

seunfoster:
Everyone pls help me ooo. Starting all over again after 11 months is frustrating enough.

So sorry about this, which noc did you choose previously?

I keep seeing AVO famous 5 ADRs but I don't know what it means, can someone enlighten me? Also I am looking at submitting my profile and getting ITA/AOR by July/August, so when I do this and my file is moved to AVO for processing, does it mean it will not be touched until next year January - April? Because it seems as if AVO becomes active majorly in this period.

guitarlife2:
Alot has been said already about carrying oil, bribing customs, beautiful landscapes, I do think the real reason most leave the comfort of their own Country is to get a decent job in Canada.
And to me this is the prayer of many including myself so I am not gonna bore you with what airlines I took or what we ate on the plane, that has been overflogged already.



to be continued............

Guitarlife, what really does a BA role entail and how easy can someone working in banking operations cross over to being a business analyst considering that there has been no prior experience in IT? Also, kindly share a BA resume with me on tosinoyedele1@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Thanks Funky, Cldnt get thru to you via pm. I will ask again during the week on your findings pls

Please house, do we go ahead with ICES evaluation for ond/hnd?

I am trying to get my spouse's ECA done but it seems most people are suggesting Wes for ond/hnd evaluation but we want to avoid d extra cost of waec issues, will ICES also evaluate his certs as two or more certificates?

Also, does anyone have a contact for Osun state polytechnic, Iree to hlp in processing his transcripts?

Rijo02:


@Oludy thanks for the daily updates. I actually just got a Stanbic account solely for TB as I noticed Stanbic has nice rates. But the stress for opening a Non-resident account no be here ooo. I hope it works out best at the end.

Zenith has cool rates also with seamless diaspora account opening

Bluecollarguy:


GTBank is my only bank at the moment, but they've been acting up as of late. As a fellow Non-Resident, I am thinking of opening another account with either Stanbic or First Bank, especially for Tbill transactions. I ask you and/or other non-resident account holders, which of the banks should I go for, and what was the level of difficulty of opening the account with them from afar? I appreciate your feedback. #OneLove

*Whispering*
AOR has been gathered, and now your watch begins.
It shall not end until your COPR.
You shall take no leisure trips, hold no feasts, extravagantly spend no more.
You shall wear no new clothes/blings and win no new babes.
You shall live and continue to live at your post - CIC website.
You are the sword on the necks of CIC call center agents.
You are the watcher on the walls of NL and CanadaVisa forum.
You are the fire that burns against the cold of LVO/AVO, the light that brings the dawn through NDVO, the horn that wakes the sleepers in OVO, the shield that guards the realms of SS.
You pledge your life and honor to Cannyland, for this night and all the nights to come

You are seriously amazing ifeoma, lol

PPR testimonies have always inspired me. I'm not one for many words but here goes:

Congratulations, may you eat of the best of the land. Please how easy is it to seat for TEF, especially for someone that has zero knowledge of French?

ladymarshall:
Yes do both. Fax the affidavit or re-request the transcript. You can also send WES an email. If none works, prepare your mind to write an LOE post-ITA

Thank you Lady Marshall. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

joo2018:
That's rough.

Can your school send another one?

I truly don't know. Or can I fax an affidavit with my statement of result to WES to explain the error. I don't want to have pay extra again or av my evaluation delayed any further.
By the way, thank you for your swift response to my pm yesterday.

Hello house, I have not been much of a contributor here as I am just starting out on my express entry journey. My school sent my transcript to WES last Thursday and I also requested a personal copy. Only for me to get it today and saw my gender on it as male, whereas, I am a female. Hope this would not have any negative impact on my evaluation, or is there anything I can do about it? Somebody please help!

For some of us willing to join Canadian Migration WhatsApp group, please follow the link below

The link is not working bro/sis. Can I pm you my number so I can be added?

titiclassy:


Thanks, we are settled now. I didn't cargo. I used my luggage allowance and all items were' goods accompanying'

You have just made Lufthansa appealing to me with with the luggage allowance thingy but please explain the two boxes to a person thing, does that mean I can have 2 each also for my little kids too even though they are minors (ages 6 and 4 yrs)?

COPR:


3-4 weeks for just NECO evaluation, that can be done in 6days? Anyway, the problem with some people on this thread is that, they dont read. We've covered this process here on this thread before.

Please can you point me to the right link where we covered issues on neco verification? I actually read all the pages on this part but I must have overlooked it. Thanks.

chukwuemeka275:


Well call Mr Omoyeni 08056447218 NECO office Illupeju Lagos

In all I think I spent 25k
You'll do remitta payment in any bank 1000k + bank charges.(ask him for the process o I made mistakes and had to pay twice)

20k is for waybill to Niger & Canada and other NECO charges (Confirmation of result) I think is what they call it.

You'll have to fill some forms at NECO office

You will need to buy NECO scratch card as well very important (WES requires it).

Print a copy of your NECO result as well (recommended)

The remaining 2k was for him to drink 'coke'.( your discretion though)

I think the process takes 3 - 4 weeks.(excluding WES delay)

Make sure you have the right WES address.

Just call him, he'll walk you through. Though I think I've covered all the basics.

Good luck

God bless you Chukwuemeka!

chukwuemeka275:


You may want to consider using your NECO if waec stress is much. That's what I used, there wasn't too much hassle per se

Please can you put me through the process? I want to use my neco also.

1 year stock taking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I clocked 1 year in Canada today like play like play o and it has been an interesting journey.

I remember writing about how I got my first job with TD Bank 3 weeks after landing in Canada (I think it is in part 1 of this thread). I started as CSR with TD Bank in May 2018. Though, it was not the best paying job but it helped me to pay some of my bills and got me into the financial industry. While I was at it, I was actively looking for something bigger and better.

In July 2018, one of the recruitment agencies got me an interview for another role, aced it and I got a 6 month contract role with another bank. I left TD Bank but I was just getting to like the bank. Before i forget, we had a road trip to Niagara falls in one weekend like that. The kids really enjoyed it the Water Park. I started the new role in August 2018, it was supposed to run till February 2019. That's how I started paying almost $400/month on transportation to work o ( I live in Brampton and travel on the GO Train to Downtown Toronto everyday for work). My weekly overtime hours pay for that.

Met some Naija people in the course of my waka here and we had a small Christmas get together with my new Naija friends. It was a fun. Madam was elated at passing her first turkey baking challenge. Abeg, I am still looking for more Naija people in this neighborhood.

So, one faithful afternoon in the first week in January 2019 like that while I was having my lunch, na so my Manager came to call me that I should see him after my break, I was like "abi contract don end be that? or was I not delivering my deliverable". Anyway, I went to see the guy and he was like they were offering me a conversion of my status from contract to full term employee. I was even doing shakara that I wanted a senior role. Anyway, I sha took the offer.

I am enjoying the job and the stuff I am learning. It's looking upward and cant complain. I feel the need for a part time job, so I started a travel website : http://budgetfaresnow.com/ for flights, hotels and shopping. Abeg make una help a brother. I also have a block of (4nos) 3 bedroom flat for sale in Ikorodu, Lagos. I am hoping to register a business soon in Canada and see how well it goes.

Conclusion:
1. Everybody's story is different
2. It might be important to start small to sort out the bills
3. Last last, everybody will be alright !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one. I pray for good testimonies also.ur customer service job with TD, u had a banking job in Nigeria previously? Was it In customer service? I am still trying to fit in my customer service bank job for an acceptable noc equivalent.

Yakay:


I don't know about your Bank in particular, but in some banks, Customer service officers also do sales, some are called Personal banking officers...so it depends ,don't just look at the title that fits yours "Financial customer service" alone, look through 1114 and 6235, you might see two or three other functions you perform as a CSR.

Thank you so much for this.

smslive2:
As you know, skill type C is not permitted u der express entry, i am not sure of which other program you can go for. If you share your job description here, maybe peeps can help u look at it critically and see if it might qualify for level B or A

I am in customer service, with a bank. Though my husband's job as an accountant will qualify as skill level A, his score is below 400. What do you advice? Can I qualify for the provincial nominee program?

Hello house, I am just about to begin Canadian immigration processing. I calculated my crs and I am 465 but my work experience is under skill c, can I still go with express entry or not? If not which other program can I apply for?
