Profgordons:
Your Nigeria license is what is being asked

ednut1:
its not hatred . Seems like they saw through your real intention which may be show off. 🤣🤣. You wrote ielts without knowing scores required or simulating. 🤥🤥

fisolaire:
Thank you to Jesus and thank you to everyone who has helped in one way or the other on this platform.

I can remember I started this journey with little or no knowledge but gained a lot here. Even got an agent but could not afford the fees, lol, hence I had to resort to Nairaland. Small advice to everyone here, Page 1 is a great resource, believe and you can pull this through. Please see timelines below:

Profile: Family of 3
First ITA- October 12, 2022 (declined this as we were even lost on things to do)
Second ITA: Oct 26 (I had studied Page 1 well and was ready)
AOR: Dec 23 (PoF was made up of I and my husband's PFA balance which was over half of the required PoF, I was scared this would not pull through but I got the assurance here that it would. A gift deed from my mum, gift deed template was on NL too and our small £s savings) Also had a detailed letter of explanation to support these.
Medicals passed: January 10th
BIL: January 10th
Biometrics completed: January 16th.
RFV: February 16th.

No ADRs, no GUs
Thank you all!

Please rewrite IELTS if you can afford to. I noticed it after the previous draw. If we keep getting new profiles like this the scores are not going to go down. I had to tell my spouse to rewrite IELTS.... Moved from 488 to 490.

aestake:
Yea .. that's stage1. What I said is stage2. Saving ONIP fee is neces seesary.

OgechiBae:
My sister also got the NOI..She had no idea what that was till I explained to her. I was confused as well cos she has no job offer too. She got as a Pharmacist with a score of 483.

patokenneth:
Please, what's your CRS?

nymphomaniac:
It’s ITA BABY! God be praised.

ednut1:

nymphomaniac:

Hello All, Please my brother applied for PR December 2020, sometime in February 2022 he was asked tor additional documents (medicals, payment of RRPF and payslips) which he submitted......Fast forward 2023 January there has not been any movement on his application.

What can be done at this point??

aestake:
Guys, does it mean the decision envelope is at the VFS Lagos office now? I don't want my spouse to travel and it is not yet there.

nymphomaniac:
Will there be a miraculous third back to back draw today? Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, anyone who has gotten ITA at 490 should please indicate.

Because like every society Canada is different from what most of us are used to and has its own difficulties. Some things we take for granted in Nigeria are difficult to get in Canada and vice versa. Thus adjusting to the new environment usually takes time for most people. From the point of view of Nigeria these are some of the issues most people face:

1. Finances. Standard of living in Canada is high thus cost of living is also high. The average Nigerian immigrant to Canada has most likely put in some years of work in Nigeria and elsewhere with savings or an investment such as a home. However, the naira is weak and most people tend to sell off all they’ve worked for before moving to Canada. When they eventually move to Canada m

2. Credit- Canada runs a credit-based economy. Thus without credit it is difficult to buy a car, rent a home and do many other things except you are paying out of pocket. Your credit report and score influence the outcome of many applications you’ll make thus getting a credit card is one of the first things you’ll need to get after the social insurance number. A score of 700 or higher is the threshold most people find comfortable. Unfortunately Canadians tend not to bend their rules or show understanding towards newcomers with lower scores. Thus a soft landing offers one the opportunity to get a credit card and begin to build their credit scores before making the eventual move.

3. Housing- getting a house in Canada (especially Ontario ) is one of the toughest challenges newcomers face. A lot of barriers exist (lack of rental history in Canada, low credit score , lack of job history in Canada , racial discrimination, competitive rental market…). This problem has pushed many families to start out in very tough conditions moving from one air bnb to another and running out of money easily . Some have even had their relationships with friends and family ruined over this. You tell your friend you’ll spend one month in his house and after a month you’re unable to get a house while your friend/host expects you to honour your word by moving out after a month. You find a family of four moving from one basement air bnb to another . I always wondered why the father didn’t move to Canada first before other members of the family . A man can endure these, get a house after a few months before the wife + kids join him.

4. Job market- Not everyone is lucky to land a job within a short time. I got a job before moving to Canada but for some people it takes a while to land a job. Staying in Canada without a job can push people to take up menial jobs or survival jobs which ordinarily they wouldn’t want to. I have seen videos where people preach about survival jobs being an entry point to the Canadian job market. I don’t agree with that narrative. Survival jobs should be the last option . I got a job in my field before even landing in Canada. More and more people have been able to do so as well.

5- Soft landing allows you to have first hand experience of what living in Canada is like and enable you to plan your move better. Thanks

Timmypaul:
I doubt if there will be draw this week. It definitely gonna be next week, with the look of things the draw will still be around 500, going through the pool lots of people are above 500.

canadagal24:
Really great. I got pnp for Alberta with 475, so even if the draws are high now. You might get pnp for province that want tech workers. Goodluck!

I’ve tried to call but they won’t put me through. Any advice on other actions to take. Also please id love to be on watsapp groups about express entry or pnp to Alberta.
