You must have compromised ur card details. while requesting for the card the bank gave terms n condition which simply means they can't be held liable for any loss.

#MyCandidOpinion is for you to hotlist(block) the card since twas online fraud or change ur card PIN iif twas PIN compromise, iif you got a good rapport with ur account officer he/she might assist you get few details like the store iit was used, date n time.

Unfortunately it's not a transfer buh shopping, the fraudster's details won't be seen

Not true. I was once charged by some dollars by a company I never had dealings with; apparently my card details might have been compromised by a staff of another company i once had business with. I simply reported to the card service department of my Bank and followed up

Got a refund within 90 days or so.

Report it immediately to your bank, especially their card service department. With a close follow, you may get a full refund within 90 days.

Will try to Google but please give me useful hints about the Ontario PNP. Does iy require a job offer? Sponsor?

Cc: Bcolah, zandora, JesusDWay, irondome

No, job offers and having relatives are NOT mandatory, but could help prove your tie to the province, as well as fetch you some qualifying points.

Lots of people have been successful without having them (job offers and sponsors).

majaolu:
My dear people can somebody tell me what happen...My point is 403 and i am already in the pool but i did't receive anything from ontario...

Delete your current profile and create a new one; also ensure you select Ontario as your preferred province in the course of your profile selection.

iphie25:
Pls how accurate is the CRS tool on CIC's website??

100% accurate. Any inaccuracy would stem from the quality of data entered by the applicants (human error)

SlowlybtSurely:


Congrats! I honestly don't know why people on here are not keying into this Ontario nomination. It's like the Indians' fav thing and their refusal rate is low.

What did you show as ties to Ontario?

100% true. Very low rejection rate. I had read of instances where applicants were even directed to rephrase their reference letters to match their NOC; I mean, they were that nice.

Kevinoh:
Hello guys,

Please is there anyone here who has had his/her credentials evaluated by WES from Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri?

My status on WES website has been "awaiting verification from your institution" since november last year.

All my efforts to get past this stage has proven abortive. I'm soliciting for help from anyone here who may have a link or contact to the particular department responsible for responding to such verification in Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri.


Thanking you guys in advance for your help.

If you dey country, why not just close your eye and visit ya school to sort things.

Doggys:
Okay. Thank you very much. Reference letter comes much later after receiving an ITA.

Yes sir

You cannot even produce 20 pictures of things he did... Afta 8 years in office if this is all he did den shame on him

You obviously do not know anything about his projects. The number of schools and health centres built exceed 20. However, I would agree with those who opine that he did next to nothing in the course of his 2nd term in office.

Yes I have done my English test with a overall score of 7.5.
Had L7.5, R7.5, S8.0, W7.0.
My nominated occupation is Computer Network & System Engineer.

See the break down of my points to make 70
Age - 32 score 30 points
English - ielts 7 proficient - 10 points
Work experience - 9 years - 15 points
Education - Bachelor of Technology - 15 points.

That's the breakdown.

Please house I need information from experienced PR holders how they went about submitting their visa procedure.

Thanks

Get your degree and work experience assessed by ACS (Australian Computer Society). Subsequently, submit an expression of interest on skill select platform and wait for an INVITATION to lodge your visa.

One thing though, your score may not hit 70 because ACS introduced a term called deeming year 2-3 years ago. ACS assesses your degree base on the number of relevant courses on your transcript. If your degree is found to be closely related to your chosen occupation and considered ICT major, you forfeit 2 years out of your work experience. If considered ICT minor, you forfeit 4-5 years.

Read up on ACS assessment for migration.

shodexy:
dear all, i want to ask if it is advisable to apply for a study permit and express entry through FSWP at the same time period. I happen to be eligible for both programs having meet their minimum requirements but i am afriad that this may work agianst me. responses appreciated.

The seemingly danger here is your study visa. FSWC is assessed against fixed criteria; and you get issued the visa once those criteria are met. On the other hand, study permit falls under temporary visa for which you must indicate your commitment to returning home after your program. Unfortunately, having an active FSWC application while applying for study visa clearly shows you do not intend to return.

The silver lining here is that --having an EE profile does not translate to a formal visa application. So I think you can create your profile on EE and wait for an ITA while still pursuing a study permit.

Caveat: I do NOT know if CIC scans the EE pool as a procedure before issuing any temporary visa.

My very close friend that earn 250 k naira monthly permant and pensionable position want to resign and move to canada ..we having been debating on the issue he has a master degree already and 34 year old..he got admission in centinnel college to do a graduate certifate in internation bussiness,and he hoping .to get post study,work visa and settle my friend has about 9 million but in shares and cash so pls forumist with expirence advice...thanks

Let him migrate directly as against going on Study visa. Let him join the thread below.

At 34, with Masters degree, he only needs a good IELTS score (LRSW, 8.5,8.7.5,7.5) to hit a crs score of 450+, which would land him an ITA (Invitation to apply for permanent resident visa)

hello guys, i just got new passport 29th January 2016 and i need to travel to Indian in two weeks time is this going to be possible for me i need a advice requirement and others please help

It used to be 2days from the day you appear for the interview. Not sure of the process now though.

The process 3 years ago, entails filling an application form online, which you are to print out. Your appointment date and time should also be imprinted on this print out.

I believe you should be able to get a more detailed info, e.g documents required, fees, etc on their immigration site.

@Jesusdway,Irondome, Zandora
please, what happens when an applicant has a score below the 400 mark?
but has met the skilled worker requirements on EE profile?



secondly, could this tool for calculating crs score be misleading?
i seem to score higher on the tool than on my created profile. im i doing something wrong?
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

It more likely to be your error, as the CIC crs tool and mycic use the same algorithm for crs calculation.

I would suggest recreating your profile again to be double sure you didn't make any mistake. With point difference of 20-22, you may want to keep a close eye on your spousal information.

Doggys:
Thank you. I appreciate. Hope my ECA been equivalent to a 4years degree in mechanical engineering does not affect the mechanical engineering technologist option? And when entering the express entry pool,do i go with the same noc2232?

Your degree and eca shouldn't be a problem. However, your job description on ref letter should closely match the NOC code for ME technologist

mctowel01:
Hello everyone, I want to enquire about something. I have a target of getting minimum of 8 in all bands in ielts. Is it advisable to use a nigerian ielts coaching school or online self-study. I know that the writing and speaking parts will require someone to grade me in practice. I want to really know if the nigerian coaching schools are worth the time. Or should I just switch to Toefl since its all computer based as they are both accepted where I am applying to.

A minimum of 8 across all band is tough and requires a bit of luck in addition to your hard work. Either of the 2 options should suffice, but if you have to use a Nigerian tutor, make sure he is/was an IELTS examiner, otherwise, focus on self practice.

Few tricks

Reading: learn how to scan passages quickly. For most of the passages, ensure you read the questions first, then quickly scan the passage for the answers. This way, you work lots faster. However, you must ensure you thoroughly read the last lengthy passage as using the scanning trick wouldn't help much there. Also master the TRUE or FALSE section as those questions are unusually tricky

Listening: Do a lots of practice for this module and sharpen your multi-tasking skill. To do well here (>8band), you must have the uncanny ability to quickly scribble down your answers in "shorthand" while still listening to the audio. It also helps to use the few seconds provided in between sections to quickly go through the next section as this would you to anticipate the answers as the audio is being played.

Golden rule for this section: if you miss a question, don't get stuck mulling over the answers, leave that question and flow with the audio, otherwise, you would miss lots more questions.

Writing: Use good linking words to stress your points, e.g, furthermore, in addition. Adopt the PREP/PEP (point, reason, examples, point for reiteration) approach where necessary, with focus on relevant examples. Leave 5-10 mins towards the end to read over the 2 passages to correct some calamitous errors. Your introduction is key and arguably determines whether you would hit an 8 band or not.

Speaking: read up on common topics and do a bit of practice. While articulating your points, it helps to enumerate for clarity, e.g firstly, secondly. Speak clearly and you don't have to form fake accent. PEP/PREP also helps here. Adopt a positive, friendly and confidence demeanor.


You can download lots of practice questions on google or torrent sites

toksbaba2000:
I was refused by Australia with form PIC4020 visa , can I apply for student visa in New Zealand ? Urgent reply

You can bet on it that they do. However, I reckon you should be okay as long as the reason for your refusal is not grave and if the visa category isn't residency.

Doggys:
She has no professional work experience. Afrer nysc she started importing cosmetics from the UK and shes doing well there. She studied Geology

Okay, that pretty much leaves you with jesusDway's suggestion if you qualify for the SINP. Otherwise, give OINP a try if your CRS>400

hartson:
Greeting to you all,what are they specific things CIC check when conducting background check?I don't know what they check.make I no go fall my hand.
I need input from you guys.

Security checks basically like PCC, etc, and sometimes foreign work experience if in doubt. For most fsw outland applicants, BG check in progress status pretty much means you are getting the ppr.

remecy:
Hello all
Guys please come out
i ve got some questions for our Nigerian people leaving in Australia and would be glad if you can help out please.
1. is easy to get a job skilled and unskilled over there? got a friend who is so certain that jobs are everywhere there pls how ture is this?
2. how long does it take a new comer to get a job over there?
and finally please is the economic situation over there better than what we have in nigeria presently pls help so that this fellow will not make a wrong chose.
thanks while waiting for your response.

Unskilled jobs are easy and everywhere with good pay rate (average of $25 an hour). Skilled jobs get more difficult and it doesn't help much being black. You either have to know people that would vouch for you or be damn too good to be ignored.

Australia economy is way better than ours with crazy wage rate.

Osario:


Beware! Not all that glitters is gold. Show pictures of downtown areas of major Australian cities doesn't make the country a paradise. Australians are was than Rissians when it comes to demeaning black people. Use Google if in doubt

Absolutely true. You really have to have a great dose self worth to survive in that country. Their disposition to blacks is really appalling.

Garykasparov:


@JesusDway
Perhaps we have like minds, i have wanted to make such remark but i dont want to start discouraging people here. some of us have worked many years thus can conveniently take that $1500 chance. some of us are in a hurry, while some are desperate, but what some of us dont know is that Canada is as desperate to get migratants in, albeit quality one, which they dont tend to compromise.
Given that, the ontario nomination process initially due to be completed in 90days (which was a good incentive); However, it is taking up to 6months presently. in addition, you gamble $1500 as well as limit yourself to a province conscientiously.
Well..my position is that this canada stuff "dem no they catch late-comer" except you can no more increase your score, IMO, the express entry still validates its name

I think we have got ourselves a " half full half empty" cup perspective here. An idealist applicant could wait endlessly for draw points to drop or for his/her CRS score miraculosuly jumps to the north of 450; but then, this may never happen as competition gets stiffer. On the other hand, a realist applicant with CRS score lower than 440 (who has maxed out language points and does not have his/her occupation in demand in other provinces) would see a great opportunity in the Ontario offer.

On the belief that Ontario is using the scheme to pay off their debt, that's also not true for some reasons listed below
1. Ontario is a huge province with a number of better alternatives to generate revenue asides immigration.
2. $1500 is not as pricy as you think when you bear in mind that the $1050 currently being charged by CIC/IRCC is highly subsidized. Ontario immigration office has simply refused to earmark any cent towards that.
3. All applicants who paid the fee enjoy the right of having their application being processed on merit. This implies that - Ontario do not just collect your money and sit on it, but they rather proceed to process every single application against each assessment criteria (age, language, BG check, ties to province, etc). The onus lies on each applicant to ensure they submit a water-tight application.

It's true that CIC do not catch late comers, on the other hand, migration rules are dynamic. Every single change has the potential of ending the migration dream, altogether. For instance, prior to express entry launch, having 67 points on the old FSWP point grid usually suffice, but not anyone. While all applicants in pool now have the 67 points, most are stuck and hopeless in the pool without a province nomination or LMIA.

In summary, if you are out there with CRS greater than 400 but less than 440 (as the chances of the draw points dropping to that range is low), I would advice you give Ontario a shot; especially if your occupation is not in demand in other provinces. A lot of people usually spend lots more in Canadian masters just to get a long shot at eventual migration.

Doggys:
Good morning house. Please which province can i,a mechanical engineer with experience in automobile repairs apply to? And do i need to get a letter from the engineering professional body? I see saskatchewan as the only friendly province to international people. Someone suggested nova scotia but their requirements are pretty much. I was hoping for alberta but they require one having at least one year experience there and i've already gotten a letter of no objection from that province. Don't know if the ontario $1500 is worth the trial?

$1500 is little price to pay for a Canadian PR and not when you stand a good chance of being nominated. If your CRS score is >400 but <440, I strongly advice you give it a shot.

Your wife got a good ielts score, what's her work exp and level of education like. You may consider making her the primary applicant.

I just browsed through it quickly. If he indeed said, that was NOT presidential of him at all. Although you can not completely discard some of the points he made. SS region, having been the nation cash cow for decades, have NOT been treated so fairly in terms of infrastructural development and environmental safety. However, that is gradually changing as the FG continues to allocate extra funds to finance projects in that region.

That being said, the oil producing states should also realise that there was a time when this economy was funded majority from cash crops from other regions. And going forward, as the WEST aggressively drive innovations on alternative energy, oil would become less and less important in the scheme of things. So, may be tomorrow, Nigeria might turn to solid minerals in some other regions (may be Middlebelt/North-central), which is currently driving economies like Australia, etc.

My point exactly, there is great strength diversity only if we all learn to put aside our differences and work together to build this potentially great nation. Yesterday, it was cash crops, today oil and gas from SS, and tomorrow, it could be --superior workforce, solid minerals, etc.

Whatever it is, these resources belong to us all, and we are all Nigerians. Our collective fight would be on the appropriate utilization of these resources to develop the nation as a whole, and not on ethnic supremacy while looters continue to corner these funds to their personal accounts.

On a final note, I think Buhari is NOT harassing Fayemi enough. The latter has a lot of work to do in his ministry and unfortunately, he is still on honey moon.

MonPro:


So you want to tell me the Anioma man is not indigenous to delta state and the Obigbo man is not indigenous to rivers because you hate Igbos? Funny lots, you all.

Hate Igbo? Where did that come from? Am not surprised. You guys start a war and you are also quick to play the victim card. The sunnybobo dude started all these e-arguments when he harassed someone for refering to SS as nigerdeltans. He further complicated things by claiming Igbos are majority in a region clearly not dominated by igbos. Stuffs like these achieve nothing but to instigate other tribes against yourselves.

On the contrary to your false allegation, I have lots of respect and admiration for you guys. You guys are brave and could be very industroius.

I don't think the goat is dead, slightly burnt, but not dead. Few reasons

1. A goat burnt to death, wouldn't be standing on its 4 legs.
2. There is a safe path (not affected by the carnage) just beside the tree; I reckon the goat fled to that area to avert a total roasting.

UncleJJ:


What do u mean by populous. What does Population have to do with ownership in the context of historical claims.

These guys from the east, you need to go to school. I keep saying it. Those schools in the east are teaching nonsense and awarding garbage degrees. No doubt your an almunus from one of those osu universities. Imsu, absu or esut.

That is one attitude "some" Igbos still need to address. They go into a foreign land and they are happily received and welcomed to do business. The next thing, they start to disrespect and disregard local values of their host communities. Afterwards, they want to rule and dominate their amazing hosts. Then, they tell you that -- your papa land " is a nobody's land", an arrant nonsense you can pull in any Igbo land. Several years down the line, they start claiming ownership.

How difficult is it to just come in, do your business peacefully and live respectfully with your host communities.

Sunnybobo3:


Name 3 tribes in the Nigerdelta that are more populous than the Igbo tribe in the Niger Delta?

Stop being half-smart. I did mention the fact that the region is multi-ethnic. Why not list out the population demography of each state in the SS and let's know the population of Igbos per state. If you still hold majority in each of states, may be then, I would start taking you seriously.
As at now, all states in that region are happy being referred to all Nigerdeltans and they should not be cowed into forsaking their own identity by the guests they had magnanimously welcomed into their individual states.

NOETHNICITY:
See as u re praying 4 d failure of ur con3 jus because d president is a northernan! Let me tell u, d moment those militants kill those foreigners, they ve indirectly given the president the international ticket to go after them not minding who is brought down in d process! Although, I doubt the news but if its tru PMB will be praying for the militants to kill foreigners! Then they will be declared as TERRORIST!

They probably thought they are dealing with a civilian president. When the military retaliate, they are quick to shout blue-murder. The shite incident was condemnable in every light, but those dudes had it coming. You don't run a government within a government.

This simple logical correlation may give these people some perspectives; " if a northern president in Buhari didn't spare his fellow kinsmen involved in the shite incident (including several innocents ones), don't expect him to hold back in using every military might needed to address the insurgency in SS" unfortunately, it would be a lose-lose-lose situation. The innocent host communities would be ravaged. The militants would ultimately lose out as well, as they would eventually be maimed. And lastly, the FG, although would crush the militants, but would have also have lost lots of resources and revenues.

Sunnybobo3:


I kknow you know that Igbos in the Niger Delta are not a minority, don't you?

HaaAa!!!!. So the Igbos are now majority in South South. He-he-he-he, I guess we learn everyday

Well, since you guys are majority in SS, you could have appropriately claimed that SS belongs to you/igbos.
