Travel / "Temporary Lorry Driver Visas By UK Are A Symptom Of Government Failure" by iknowexperts: 3:37pm On Sep 28, 2021
Do you agree with this columnist or not?

Anywhere you turn these days it seems someone is getting a UK visa.

The trending program now is the recently announced visa for 10,000 truck drivers and poultry workers.

These got people excited because it seems really easy to get the visa.

But what many fail to realize is that the visa expires in 3 months - precisely on 24th December 2021. Which means after this date the immigrants are expected to leave the UK.

This has brought the debate whether this particular program is exploitative or not.


The British government cut. For months, ministers refused to renounce the pleas of the meat and transport industries for access to migrant workers, and they must strictly say that they must increase salaries and conditions in order to attract local residents instead. Now, with food and fuel shortages growth, They have promise visas for 5,000 HGV managers and 5,500 poultry workers.

Who would want these short-term visas, what decay on Christmas Eve? EU workers are unlikely to stand in line. As Tomasz Oryński, a Polish truck driver and journalist, told me: ‘Why do you want to go to Britain, skip all these hoops, face all this hostile environment, if you can go to Ireland or Holland and earn more ? drive on nicer highways with nice trucks, and become a free European citizen, not a second-class citizen?

It seems more likely that visa applicants will come from further afield, according to the licensing rules. This proved the case with the British “seasonal worker pilot”, who issues six-month visas to people to pick fruit and vegetables on British farms. So far the top four source countries it was Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Moldova. Some come from as far away as Nepal and Barbados.

Temporary migration schemes have a long history, from the USA Bracero program for Mexican farm workers to Germany between the 1940s and 1960s Gas workers program in the 1960s. There is modern versions in Canada, New Zealand and elsewhere. Advocates say it could be a ‘win-win’: employers gain access to workers; migrants get better opportunities.

But it’s not always that simple. it is general for migrant workers to borrow money to pay for visas, transportation and recruitment costs, making them vulnerable to exploitation. In addition, unlike under the free movement of workers in the EU, they are linked to a specific employer or recruiter, which makes it difficult for them to leave if they are treated poorly. As a result, the schemes could exacerbate poor salaries and conditions in some sectors and whitewash the dependence of employers on migrants. One study by the US Economic Policy Institute ended: “We can not point to one historical example in which a temporary labor shortage was remedied with a temporary labor migration program, and employers subsequently returned to hire local workers.” A favorite aphorism of migration experts is that there is nothing as permanent as a temporary migration program.

Early indications of the British fruit-picking pilot support some of these concerns. Earlier this year, when a colleague and I investigation We spoke to guilty workers from Russia and Belarus who feel trapped on farms that do not provide them with enough work, but whose recruitment agencies do not agree to move it to another employer. And while the government still says it wants farmers to hire local workers, the visa pilot has expanded from 2,500 to 30,000 workers.

None of this was inevitable. If the government really wanted to improve the quality of jobs in the food and transport sector, it could have done so, regardless of Brexit. This could be the example of the The Netherlands, where employers and trade unions agree to sectoral agreements that provide a basis for payment and conditions. It could have strengthened it too sad enforcement of existing labor market laws.

After the Brexit vote in 2016, the government could have started planning for life without migration with low pay. It could have done all the things it does now in a blind panic, like promising free training courses for HGV licenses. Ministers could also power imbalance in the food supply chain that puts relentless pressure on labor costs.

No one predicted the pandemic, which exacerbated the staff shortage, but it was not difficult to predict that action would be needed. Two weeks after the Brexit vote, I wrote about how these sectors would struggle to cope with the end of free movement, given the supermarkets’ demands for speed, flexibility and low prices. “We would not eat without Eastern Europeans,” a temporary boss told me.

We could have stayed in the EU and improved the salary and conditions in these sectors. We could have left the EU and improved the salary and conditions in these sectors. But the government insisted that we ‘eat and eat our cake’ rather than acknowledge deviations and plan for them. This has resulted in a crisis, which could mean that the country is, after all, dependent on migrant workers with low wages — just different people who are even more vulnerable to exploitation. If there’s still a cake left, I do not know who is eating it.

Most times police officers don't have a case and can't charge you to court without a Statement.

To make matters worse Ama Owusua told US officials that since my grand auntie was a minister in the then NPP government, her husband and kids were in danger of persecution.

Lawyers came to Ghana and took her husband and kids to the US for “political asylum”

The US government took the thing World Cup and tried to have my grand auntie extradited to face charges. In the end she had step down from her position.

But Ama and her family got their karma. She and her husband are now both blind and she had a stroke that has left her paralyzed and bedridden in the states.

Education / Re: How To Apply For Canada Masters, Graduate Certificate Or Diploma For Relocation by iknowexperts: 7:34pm On Aug 14, 2021
Putting together your application

Before we go on, here is a website you can use to easily search for Canada universities you can do masters in
https://universitystudy.ca

Back to the gist

What you need for your application is largely dependent on the program and the school you are applying to.

But in general, these are the documents that must be included in your application:

1. Your resume or CV.

Some will ask while others will not.

However it is always good to include your resume so they can see your work experience and some of the things you have achieved in your career.

This will help them make a better decision about you. A good resume will give you an edge.

2. Statement of Purpose.

This is a very powerful tool that will influence your application.

Your statement/letter of purpose allows you to explain your personal interest in the program to which you are applying.

It should reference the kind of knowledge you expect to gain from the program and should define the reasons why you chose the program and how it can satisfy your own interests.

An SOP can be the difference between you getting an admission or missing out

3. Transcript.

Before including your transcript it should be evaluated by the WES or any other body recognized by the IRCC for carrying out Educational Credential Evaluation

Basically ECA means any of these bodies evaluate your Nigerian degree (or any other country) and certify that it is equivalent to the Canadian version of that degree.

If you did a Bsc in Nigeria or Ghana or India, they certify it is equal to a Canadian Bsc.

4. Any research paper you have puplished - if any

This can give you an edge. If for example you wrote your final year project and you had it published in a journal you should also include it in your application.

Submitting your application

If it is a course based program, simply go the school faculty website, upload required documents and follow the application instructions

If it is a thesis based program,

you have to first contact a professor you share same research interests in the faculty you want to get admitted in.

He will give you the go ahead to apply.

Now, you may be wondering how do you know which professor to contact, his contact details and what he is working on.

Its easy, all these details are in the faculty website of the school you want to apply to.

However, this makes it asier to search => https://canadastudy.ca

Applying for admission to Canadian university and colleges cost between 150 to 200 CAD. And you can do it yourself.

Getting Scholarships and Sponsorships

Tuition fee in Canada can cost upto15,000 to 20,000CAD per year.

Whether you can afford it or not is not the issue here. The thing is there are many scholarship opportunites you can take advantage of.

And you can get either full or partial scholarship.

Some free money for your Canadian atudies won't hurt.

Scholarships are given based on academic performance, leadership abilities and other criteria.

Also, for thesis based masters, professors have access to funding for research that their students can also benefit from

So, this is just an overview of how to apply for a study visa

Here's one more piece of useful information.

There is a webinar by someone who has gone through the entire process of:

1. getting admission
2. getting a scholarship
3. getting a study visa
4. completing his studies and
5. getting a Canada Permanent Residency

He has recorded a video of each step.

Education / How To Apply For Canada Masters, Graduate Certificate Or Diploma For Relocation by iknowexperts: 7:33pm On Aug 14, 2021
Getting a Study permit to do your masters or post graduate program is becoming one of the most popular Canada relocation routes for Nigerians.

According to the IRCC, in 2019 Canada welcomed over 404,000 people who used the study visa route to relocate to Canada,
and Nigeria is among the top ten countries.

Source: https://www.cicnews.com/2020/02/canada-welcomed-more-than-400000-new-international-students-in-2019-0213724.html

The reasons for this are obvious:

1. A Canada Masters degree or post graduate degree is a door opener for you anywhere in the world.

2. You don't need IELTS (under certain conditions) to immigrate and study in Canada.

3. It is very easy to transition from temporary study visa to permanent resident after you're done with studies.

4. You can relocate with your family

5. There are no obvious age restrictions.

6. You can work while schooling,
among other benefits.

First thing you need to know if you are applying for masters in Canada is that they are 2 different kinds of masters:

1. Thesis based masters
2. Course based masters

For thesis based masters you're going to be conducting lots of research and working closely with a professor on a topic that interests you both.

And before you apply for admission you need to be accepted by a professor (some of them have access to funding which you might enjoy) before sending in your application.

For the course based masters, even though you will be conducting some research, most of the work will be done in class.

You don't need to do a lot of research compared to the thesis based masters.

Post graduate diploma or post graduate certificates are mostly course based.

Eligibilty criteria / required documents

Now, eligibility criteria is usually dependent on the program and the school you're applying to.

However there are general eligibility criteria you'll need to meet before you can apply

1. You need English proficiency test (IELTS / TOEFL)

Many candiates are required to proof their English proficiency by writing IELTS or TOEFL.

However if English is your first language, or you had your Bachelors degree in English, you can contact the school you are applying to and they will wave the ielts or any other English test

That means you can relocate through the study visa route without writing the IELTS.

2. Bachelor's degree in a related course or work experience in the field you wish to study.

Some schools require that you need to have work experience in a certain field, if you don't have a Bachelors degree in that field.

For example if you want to study a masters in Human Resources, and what you have is a Bsc in Physics. Some schools require you have work experience in a HR or similar role

They need this to prove that you can do the masters and complete it successfully.

3. A High enough grade in your undergraduate program.

You need to have at least a 2nd class upper in your undergraduate program.

However if you didn't have a 2nd class upper cgpa in your undergraduate course not to worry, there is a way out.

Because many schools only need you to have a 2nd class upper cgpa in the last 2 years of your program,

This means even if you graduated with a 2.2 or 3rd class, if you had a CGPA of 2.1 from year 3 to year 4 (or year 4 to year 5 if it is a 4 years program) you are still eligible.

If you still don't meet any of the above requirement, you can do a 1 year qualifying program and then you will be accepted to carry on your masters.

There are also schools that accept 2.2 for masters

Next, we discuss putting together a strong application

Travel / Tips For Getting Canada Job Offer From Nigeria Faster by iknowexperts: 5:43pm On Jun 20, 2021
Benefit of getting a Canada job offer is that it makes Canada immigration way easier:

1. In Express entry, Canada job offer boosts your CRS score by at least 50 points.

2. With a Canada job offer,
you have met the major and hardest requirement for programs like RNIP, PNP or AIPP.
These are less costsly programs for you to get Permanent Residency (PR).
They also have low IELTs, educational and proof of funds requirements.

3. Less Proof of Funds required.
This is a continuation of the 2nd point. The above programs require you to have less Proof of Funds compared to Express Entry.

However, I will be honest with you, being Nigerian based in Nigeria looking for a Canada job is hard.

Secondly, it might take you submitting up to 20 to 30 applications before you even get your first interview.

However you can take hope in the fact that Nigerians are getting Canada jobs. And you too can if you are willing to work hard on your apllication.

In this writeup we will be using the word resume instead of CV.

So, tips for immigrating to Canada:

1. Use Canada style resume and cover letter.
Canada style resume have some peculiarities. For example, in Canada resume, there is no inclusion of age, race, gender, nationality, picture, religion and marital status age in your resume.

It is not required under Canada employment law and human rights legislation.

2. Be on the look out for Canada job fairs that you can attend.

They are usually announced in the Province's website.

Job fairs are recrutiment events usually organized by the different provinces.
Here Canada employers and recruiters meet with potential employees. It can hold both offline and online. A few have held this year and more will hold later this year.

3. Be PR ready
To boost your chances of getting a Canada job offer, you must be PR ready. Being PR ready means you have documents like your educational credentials, IELTs, ECA etc.

Being PR ready gives you an advantage because employers don't want to wait for too long before you process your needed documents.

4. Create and optimise your Linkedin profile.
In Canada, LinkedIn is almost an holy grail when it comes to your career. Some top Canada recruiters once said they will not consider a candidate if he is in Tech or a white collar job and doesn't have a LinkedIn profile.

5. Sign up in to recieve new job notifications for your NOC on different Canada job platforms. And send job applications frequently.

Remember earlier we said it might take up to 20 to 30 applications before you get your first interview. So try to send at least one apllicatoln per day.

6. Pay close attention to the job description for the jobs you want to apply.

It is very important because it contains valuable information about job duties and keywords.
And these keywords should show on your resume.
This shows the employer you know what the job entail.

And very importantly, Canada employers get applications from all over the world.

Most hiring managers, talent acquisition or recruitment department use a software tool to automatically scan hundreds of applications.
So if your resume does not have the correct keywords it won't be read by the recruiter at all.

7. Get a Canada phone no. And include it in your resume.

This is not a tip you hear discussed often. But a Canada phone no. really helps when applying for jobs for programs like RNIP, AIPP etc

Some employers especially small and medium scale businesses have a tendency of picking up the phone to call the applicants to get some clarification.
And wth this you have the chance of handling their objections when it comes to you not being in Canada.

Hope this helped.

Meanwhile if you have gotten a Canada job or you are still searching, it will be appreciated if you share your job search experience here

Hi Chinedu!

I think anyone who wants to leave Nigeria should not only look at it from the view point of quickly escaping our brutal environment,
but also from the angle of securing the most long term benefits for himself and family.

Here's my advise on where you should go to:

1. Look for a country that offers a clear pathway to citizenship within a few years. A second passport is one of the most powerful gift you can bestow yourself and family.

2. If your budget is not so high, look for a country where you can get a job offer and use it to relocate. This way you get to spend less and you can even go with your family at once.

Canada satisfies both criteria. Just do your research and you'll find Canada imigration programs where you can get job offer and PR with your OND.
There are other countries of course.

Good luck.
Family / How Does One Prove Work Experience In Canada Immigration? by iknowexperts: 3:24pm On Jun 19, 2021
Canada immigration programs with job offer requirement
are known to be less costly and faster with relatively easy to meet requirements...

- That is if you can sort out the almighty Canada job offer.

When you get the job offer, another matter to sort out is proving your work experience in your application for Permanent residency.

Some people wonder what "proof of work experience" entails.

Proof of work experience in Canada immigration basically involves:

The IRCC checking that your job duties in your previous work experience corresponds with the NOC code of your job offer

Each profession has an NOC code. And each NOC code has its job duties. The different professions and job duties can be found here:
https://noc.esdc.gc.ca/home/welcome

For example, let’s take the case of someone who got a Job as an Accountant. The NOC code for Accountants is NOC 1111.

And if the person has truly worked as an accountant, it means that the he must have done most of the job duties listed under the NOC code for accountant.

So all he has to do in his PR application to prove his work experience is submit some documents that we will discuss now.

The IRCC checks proof of work experience in different ways.

The preferred way is by a Reference letter from each of your past employers stated.

A Reference letter is basically a letter from your past and/or current employer stating the position(s), salary and job duties which you held while working for the employer.

If you mentioned in your application that you have 10 years experience with multiple employers, you will be required to provide reference letters for each employer.

A reference letter contains the following information:

1. Letterhead of the company: which means it will include the contact name, address and phone no. of the employer or the HR manager of your company.
2. Your job title / position(s) you have worked in the company.
3. Detailed description of the position and job responsibilities.
4. Start and end dates with the company.
5. Annual salary or the hourly rate.
6. The related benefits you got from the company.
7. Location of employment.
8. Hours worked per week.
9. State if it was/is a permanent job full time job or part time job.

It is advisable you work with the employer when he is drafting your reference letter so they will be not be inconsistency between the job duties he listed, and the job duties listed under your NOC code.

Also ensure he does not copy and paste the job duties listed in NOC website else your application will be denied. Let him use his own words.

So, we are done with the first way for proving work experience in Canada immigration.

To the second.

It is possible you might not be able to get the reference letter from your present or previous employer,

Maybe due to the fact that you worked there a long time ago, or you just are not in a position to reach out directly to them.

In this case, you need to provide a letter of explanation to the IRCC saying that these are the genuine reasons why you are not going to get a reference letter for this particular period.

You must also submit other documents to prove your employment with the company. Such as:

- Your pay slips / pay stubs
- Appointment letter with employer & resignation letter
- Promotion letters / compensation letter
- Normal experience letter (if you have)

In addition to the above,

There should be at least 3 referral letters from your colleagues or former colleagues – for each employer. Of which at least 1 must be your superior you reported to.

So, whenever you see prove of work experience among the requirements in a Canada immigration program, you know what it entails.

If getting a Canada job offer is more of your goal right now, then what is on my signature and profile might interest you.

Family / How Man Got Canada Job Offer & Immigrated With His Family Through AIPP To Canada by iknowexperts: 4:20pm On Jun 15, 2021
His name is Marc. Prior to when he got a Canada job offer in 2019, he had 10 years experience in the call center and business process industries from being an agent, trainer, team lead and manager.

He first found out about the Canada AIPP from his wife. And that the program requires a job offer.

AIPP means Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program.
To be brief, it is a Canada program that immigration with low requirements provided you have a Canada job offer as a skilled worker.
Permanent Residency is given within 6 months of application.

Back to the story.

Marc and his wife agreed that they will both apply for jobs. Whoever gets an offer first will be the Principal Applicant. This arrangement will give them a higher chance of getting a job offer faster.

They both sent job applications to all the job hunting platforms they could find - Indeed, JobBank, Workpolis etc

They got several rejection emails. Some employers didn't even bother to send a reply at all.

Eventually Marc got an invitation for a job interview. It was a series of questions and interviews online. And in March, 2019 he got his job offer

How he got his job offer

Marc and wife used same strategy when applying for jobs

They applied for jobs in Canada the same way they would apply for jobs in any other place.

The difference is that they used Resume and Cover letter format that is acceptable to Canada job culture. This step is important.

And very importantly,
before sending out applications, they spent time researching challenges the companies were facing so they could show in their cover letter and resume they could use their roles and experience to solve these challenges.

They also researched the employers to identify their goals, so they could show in their application how they could help in achieving those goals.

This is because Canada employers receive applications all over the world. They knew that to stand out, they had to put in the work.

They started by listing out all the job hunting website that is available for the province they wished to relocate to.
Marc’s job offer came via an application he submitted on JobBank.

They looked into each job title and identified those that are closely matched to their work experience. Since one requirement of the AIPP is that you must have at least one year work experience in the past 3 years related to the job you are applying for.

They paid attention to the job description, responsibilities and qualifications listed.

Before applying for any job they ensured that with their qualifications and experience they will do the job outlined in the job post.

They did not want to waste theirs' or the recruiters' time if they knew they are not qualified or cannot do the job.

Also, they paid attention to the keywords used in the job description. Because these keywords will have to be included in their application and resume.

They were aware most of hiring managers, talent acquisition or recruitment department use software tools to automatically scan hundreds of applications.

So if their resume does not have the correct keywords it won't be read by the recruiter at all. And their already slim chance of getting an interview invite will get even slimmer

For example, if your’re applying to be a Chef, use keywords related to what a Chef does.
All industry have keywords or jargon associated with it.

Canada Job SearchTips

Tip 1
Sometimes you might see this kind of statement
"Intended job posting Audience
Anyone who can legally work in Canada can apply for the job. If you are not currently authorized to work in Canada the employer will not consider you for the job offer"

If you see this kind of statement, it only goes to show that the employer prefers people already in Canada.

However you can still apply and get the job.
The employer that gave Mark a job offer also had that statement in his job post but he still employed someone outside Canada.

Just because they prefer someone inside Canada doesn't mean they will not give the job to someone outside of Canada.

Tip 2
Before sending in an application they visited the employer website or researched the employer on Google to understand their work culture. That way they customized their resume and cover letter to fit the employer work culture.

This is one of the things that made employers notice their application and profile.

Tip 3
They signed-up for notifications on lots of job websites so when there are new job posts they get notified.

Job hunting is not a one-time event. Everyday there are new job postings in Canada. So you must try to grab them and apply everyday.

End.

WHAT IS DONE IN CANADA JOB FAIRS?

Just in case you're wondering, job fairs are recrutiment events which employers and recruiters meet with potential employees.

HR team members explain to potential employees all about current job openings, the application process and anything else regarding the organization.

And usually there is on the spot interview.

To boost your chances of getting a Canada job offer, you must be PR ready. Employers don't want to wait for too long before you process your needed documents (which can take up to 1 year if you're not PR ready)

Being PR ready means you must meet the eligibilty requirements and you must have your documents like ECA, IELTS, your educational credentials ready.

What Happens to those who get job offers in the New Brunswick Job Fair?

Those who get a job through will easily be able to immigrate through any of New brunswick immigration programs which offer Permanent Residnecy to applicants (and their family if they are also relocating)

The programs are

• The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) • The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program: Express Entry Labour Market Stream (EELMS)
• The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program: Skilled Workers with Employer Support Stream (SWES)

All the programs are attractive if you can get a job offer. For example, the Atlantic Immigration requirements are as follows:

* IELTS of 5
* Educational requirement is from secondary school degree and above
* Low proof of funds requirement compared to other programs.
* Minimum of 1 year Job experience if you are applying from outside Canada

PS. If you're finding it tough getting a Canada job offer, different provinces in Canada organize job fairs to easily meet qualified candidates living outside Canada.

One way you can know about upcoming job fairs is by regularly checking the governement websites of Canada provinces for announcement

Is the programme still on?

Yes the AIPP is still on.

On February 17, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced the Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIPP) became a permanent immigration program.

About Canada job offers...

The truth is if you're living outside Canada, getting a Canada job offer is hard.

It is usually one of the hardest requirement to meet for immigration programs that require it.

Why?

It is usually for two reasons.

And none of these reasons has to do with not having a Canada style CV.

If these 2 reasons are fixed you stand a good chance of quickly getting a Canadian job offer

In the Canada AIP program, a job offer from a designated employer is one of the requirement

There are well over 2,000 designated employers for the Canada AIP program

"2 reasons why Canada job offers are hard to get" is one of the area that will be talked about in the WhatsApp class.

Its holding in few hours.

See my signature or my previous post in this thread on how to attend

We're 21 in the group and still counting.

BFWestAfrican:
1- The whatsapp link you posted doesn't seem to work.
2- The 3 AIP proģrams as explained on IRCC website, each requires having a job offer:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/atlantic-immigration-pilot/eligibility-intermediate-skilled.html


https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/atlantic-immigration-pilot/eligibility-international-graduates.html


https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/atlantic-immigration-pilot/eligibility-high-skilled.html


https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/special-initiatives-pilot-project/exemption-code-c18.html

You're correct. AIPP requires a job offer from only designated employers for this program.

That's one part I didn't emphasize in my article.

Let me throw some light about it here

There are over 2,000 designated employers cutting across different industries for the Canada AIP program

But the truth is getting a Canadian job offer is usually hard.

However an intending applicant will stand a far greater chance of quickly getting a Canada job offer if he can show that:

1. He can do the job, and even equally important

2. He/she is immigration ready

These 2 factors will but you in a more favourable light with Canada employers

Getting a Canadian job offer (specifically for the AIP program),and
being Immigration ready are some of the points that will be touched in the Whatsapp class

Thanks for the heads up about the link to the group not working.

To join the class kindly WhatsApp me on 09060978669

I'll send you the direct link.

The IRCC have have also committed to create more awareness to drive more immigrants to the Atlantic province. Because not many immigrants are taking advantage of the free Settlement plans.

This Canada program is a good fit for those who have:

* Tried other means to travel overseas and other visa routes with no success

* Tried writing the IELTs exam but no success

* Having difficulty finding or raising High proof of income and it is holding you back in your immigration

* Educational background is holding you back from immigration

* Tried getting a job in Canada but have been unsuccessful or don’t know how to

* You want to relocate with your family but the cost is high

* Or you're looking for a way to limmigrate fast while still enjoying benefits of a Permanent Residency

If this program interests you and you will like more information about Canada immigration under the AIPP,

I’ll be holding a WhatsApp class titled:

Since the lifting of the lockdown due to Covid, the AIPP is one of the Canada immigration programs that is getting to normal – in terms of processing of applications.

Below is a Screenshot of one of the applicants under the AIPP who got his COPR (Certificate of Permanent Residency) just this March – he shared his timeline.

He applied last year but due to the lockdown his application was delayed.
