I'm finally rounding up with school this April and I can't wait for it to be done!!! My course is a year but it's accelerated to 8 months.

Also, I'm not going to do another course to earn three years of PGWP 🤧 I'm going to get my PR before the 1 year PGWP I will receive runs out 😎.

Princezibk:

hello, please did humber college require you to write ielts?

No, I wasn't asked for IELTS, just my school certificate, and transcript, and I used WAEC results in place of IELTS. Although I’m not sure about now.

Update on our housing:

We got an agent “Jay” who helped us get a 2 bedroom condo apartment in downtown Toronto, a 15-minute walk to my school. We got the apartment on September 12th, and made 4 months' payments (1st month and last 3 months. 🤷🏻‍♀️) we moved on the 14th and our rent is due every 15th of each month (what we signed for)

The rent includes all utilities (water, heat, internet, electricity, and hydro) except for insurance. ($3k)

It’s a good location close to everything!!!

Greetings to everyone! I'm delighted to offer my assistance to all. Allow me to share my journey:

I submitted my application to Humber College in December 2022 and received admission in January 2023. By March, I had settled the first-term tuition fee. In April, along with my family (spouse with an Open Work Permit and two children with study permits), I applied for my study visa. I managed this entire process independently, without the involvement of an agent. This serves as a testament that you too can navigate it on your own, saving both money and unnecessary stress.

We completed the upfront medical examinations, which were approved on April 21. Biometrics were requested on April 13 for myself and April 14 for my spouse. By April 22, we received a Biometric Verification Letter (BVL). On April 24, our visa document numbers were updated in the tracker, indicating the approval of our application. However, the OPR (Passport Request) was not received until June 15 In order to expedite the process, I initiated a series of scheduled emails to Nairobi, and finally secured our OPR on June 20. We promptly submitted our passports via courier and received them a week later.

Our travel was booked for August 19 via British Airways with a layover at London Heathrow Airport for 8 hours, ultimately arriving at YYZ on Sunday, August 20, at 3 pm.

Passing through the Port of Entry was straightforward. The immigration officers requested our marriage certificate, the children's letters of introduction, my letter of admission, proof of tuition payment, and the enrollment letter. Once verified, we obtained our permits and proceeded to our Airbnb accommodation.

Currently, we are actively searching for an apartment, and I will keep you all updated on our progress.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or inquiries.

Hi all, is there anyone going to Humber College (IGS)?

livepluslife:
Wow! Thanks for this forum. I keep getting ineligible when I try to get into the pool. I guess this path to Canada will be easier for me. Good to be here.

If you don’t mind drop your education, age, work experience, IELTS, spouse details if any. Lemme check if you re eligible for EE

posemeke:


Thank you for this vital info. However, what I asked as not been answered. And that is is it a must me and wife to do the IELTS or can I do it alone as the principal applicant? I am 44 and I have a B.Sc in Accounting with over 10years working experience in accounting and ICT...can go ahead alone for IELTS? Or is it a must me and my wife should do it since dis province don't work on points?

Your direct answer would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Just the PA is required to write IELTS.

muyiroro:
Gud pm to you all, pls I need a clarification asp the work permit and the PR application. Is it possible for one to start the PR process after one might have enter Canada with his or her work permit or one must process both the work permit and the PR before living Nigeria.

Thank you

If you have a work permit, you can land and start your PR application. Also, you can do process both while still in Nigeria, so long as you are qualified for PR. Hope this helps.

They do, but ours doesn’t contain vitamin D.

Good day everyone and thanks to the moderators if this thread.
I have my ECA ready, IELTS ready and I'm under NOC 2262.
I have seen this job advert in New Foundland and Labrador, please how do I proceed? I also need sample of cover letter suitable for this AIPP.
Please your help is much appreciated.

Congrats on your ECA and IELTS. Search through the page you ll see sample cover letter then add this clause to it, If you deem my qualifications and experience suitable for your position, please note that you may be eligible to hire me under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP). If you are facing labor shortages and having difficulties attracting or retaining talent, please consider the AIP and contact (the province) office of immigration for supports. Leave a link for Newfoundland and Labrador AIP page. Hope this helps, all the best.

Pebo:
Good day all. Does anyone know of designated employers for IT
Business Analysts?

No specific, just go through the list of designated employers for each province and search for who is hiring for your NOC

Got back my old moniker hanna007, but I will alternate with the other account hannamia007

Trizadove:
Thank you for this information. my IELTS is ready and my ECA is being processed.
But below are my questions:
*Is there age limit for this program?
*Are we getting our PR through this process? If no, what do we need to do?

1. no age limit
2. yes, After you get a job offer from a designated employer, you need to get a settlement plan. A settlement plan will help you and your family adjust to your new home in Atlantic Canada. It will provide you with useful resources and contacts to help you feel welcome in your new community. These plans are free, Once you have your settlement plan, give a copy to your employer and keep a copy for yourself. If you’re not in Canada, bring the plan with you when you move to Canada.
Get your Certificate of Endorsement
After you have your settlement plan, the province must endorse your job offer. Your employer will handle this process. Don’t submit your permanent residence application until you confirm with the employer that your offer has been endorsed.
If the province endorses your job offer, you’ll get a Certificate of Endorsement in the mail. Include your endorsement certificate with your permanent residence application along with other document needed for your PR application to ircc via paper route, like eca, pof, passports, ielts, medical, pcc etc including this endorsement certificate.

Anywherebuthere:
Thanks for this. How do we overcome the tough part- job offer?

Yes it's difficult but not impossible, there 're people who have gotten job offers while in Nigeria. First is to have the list of designated employer and go through their site and check for jobs, then apply to the ones that fit you. We 'll all help each other go through this

I will advise you have your ECA and ielts ready before you apply for jobs, so that once you have a job and its endorsed, nothing 'll keep you from applying to ircc. Inspite of all these, you can apply for a work permit once you get your endorsed job while ircc processes your application.

I'm considering nova Scotia, my ECA is still in process. Let's contribute to this, how many of u 're interested in this program and how far have you gone?

I will post list of designated employer for each province, note that most jobs are not advertised, you will have to go to their sites and check their career page. Also, when applying for jobs, always include a cover letter and state your intent in it I.e if they can sponsor you through AIPP. Apply for as many jobs as you can, but it should be in your field or what you do.

This pilot helps employers in Atlantic Canada hire foreign skilled workers who want to immigrate to Atlantic Canada and also for international graduates who want to stay in Atlantic Canada after they graduate.

This four province are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward island .

Firstly, job offer is required from any of this province, but the good thing is LMIA is not needed but the job will have to be endorsed by the province through your employer. However, employers will have to be registered under this program to be eligible. Which is called designated employer.

This program has three scheme under it but 2 is for foreign skilled worker, while the other is for international graduates. Below is the schemes and requirements:

1. Atlantic high skilled program: this program requires
a) have work in a management, professional or technical/skilled job for at least a year in the last 3 years (NOC O, A or B)
b) have ECA
c) ielts clb 4 or TEF clb 4
d) pof
e) job offer must be full time at least 30hrs per week

2. Atlantic intermediate skilled program requires:
a) must have worked in a job that requires high school education or/and job specific training for at least a year in the last 3 years.
( NOC level C) or NOC A & B in 3012 or 3233 with job offer in NOC C in 3413 or 4412.
b) have ECA
c) ielts clb 4 or tef clb 4
d) pof

Although this program has its tough part (job offer), it also has it's benefits. Which I will list below:
1. IELTS band is low, clb 4 is required which is LRWS: 4.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.0
2. POF is low;
Family of 1 = $3167
Family of 2 = $3943
Family of 3 = $4847
Family of 4 = $5885
Family of 5 = $6675
Family of 6 = $7528
Family of 7 or more = $8381
3. You don't need to be in the pool or have crs, once your job offer has been endorsed and have register for a settlement program, gather all the necessary documents needed for ircc and submit through paper route. Moreso, you will pay for biometrics , rprf and application fee.

This is the link for AIPP, I just created it I'm also considering going through this process. I have read through the scheme for over few months and know how it works. Those interested please follow the thread and let's make this Canada dream happen.

This is a thread on Atlantic immigration pilot program. It's for those that have low crs and no more means of boosting it. With the current crs cut off, one has to look for other options.

So as we go along I will explain how this program works. I'm also considering this program as I have low crs and pof

PS: I'm not an immigration lawyer or agent, I have read through this scheme and know how it works. So please let's help ourselves through this process. Thanks

I think when you re-read his post you will understand well, the agency he was referring to is PAGE ONE . Meaning he 'll find all the information there, medical, eca, passport etc.

Daybour1:
Good evening good people of Canada. Congratulations to all ITA recipients. Please I have a question. I am post ITA, and I have all my documents ready, only left with POF, I want to ask if I can go on my cic account to upload other documents and update later, or do I have to do everything at once?

Your swift answers would be appreciated.

You can upload but not submit, only when everything is complete then you submit.

Hello everyone.

I am new to this forum but not to the whole PR program. I submitted my application a few months back as an individual. Getting married soon however. Is it possible to add my spouse to my application? If possible, will she have to go through the whole process of verifying her results? Also, what other documents do I need if I add her to my application?

Thank you

Once you get married, raise a CSE that you want to add your spouse to your application and attach your wedding certificate, pics, chats, wedding invitation etc. They will let you know what to do next.

fizgurl:


Please how many days were you given to submit your medical result. And please for those that have received message for passport request, is there usually a stated deadline to submit passport.

I've still not been able to link my application as i forgot my password and recovery questions and i got a mail last week thursday telling me i have a message in my account.

Why not contact CIC through CSE with your situation, maybe they can help or give you further information.

BTGbenga:

No difference, depends on one's preference

2 or more

marigibs:
