IELTS: August 23 (Band 8.5)
Applied for EE - Sept 23. CRS score 460 ish
Ontario PNP - Sept 23 (Didn't finally use it)
ITA - Oct 23 - Healthcare Occupations Draw
PR application submission- Dec 23
Biometrics and Medicals - Feb 24
Final approval- Mar 24
Visa in Hand - Apr 24

This would be my second japa after the initial japa to UK. Hoping is goes even better than the first which has been fantastic.

Wasn't a follower of this thread until recently. I wonder if there is a 'Nigerians in Canada' thread like the UK thread

Congratulations.
I just mentioned you on the living in Canada thread.

hello guys how are you all doing, please with noc of nurse aide, i am already in the pool though, but which pnp makes sense that you guys advise i should look into based on my noc code, my score is currently 460, i am waiting on healthcare draw, but on the side i will like to explore pnp, so which pnp do you guys think i can explore?

Ontario might nominate you, you can check other provinces.
Being in the pool is first step.

smartkester:
Please one more thing, can someone help me with a very reliable link to prepare for my IELTS exams or any good resource materials.

God in YouTube, just type IELTS general exams.
You will see a lot of videos on it, I download and watch offline.
Get your pen and paper ready.

MadamDee:



@tollx you have an integrity problem. You need to change !

Cease fire madam, something that should remain in the cage have been released, now see the repercussions 😁

smartkester:
Please someone should help me with a direct link to create my express entry profile. The site i am seeing now is too complex. I can't find my way around it.
Please help a brother

Click on the first page, read Down, you will find start creating a profile, click on it.

Singlefile:



Please let me know how much should I top up or was the stipulated fund available low as the reason for the decline?

make it 200 or more, just saying it could be the reason, or not.

You can also find someone with dollar account to help you.

Singlefile:
Please my people I'm trying to pay my application and biometric fee online. I have USD123 in my Chepper account but still indicates transactions declined. I thought USD123 was more than CAD185.
What could be the issue for the transaction being declined? Please help I'm on it now. Thanks in advance

Top up pls.

To be on safe side.

SemperFid:


I'm an optometrist. Can a province nominate me like this?

under health,yes.

SemperFid:


I'm searching for the same information. I have no concrete answers.

If you are into tech, then you have an advantage, just enter the pool.

A province can nominate you, Ontario usually do Tech draw.
Alberta also.

uchennay:


Na you dey look for fake update when people get refuse and SHARE here na people like you dey see them as failure but you dey look for approval ..l guess you go need enter Canada embassy dey approve visa urself with all this high blood pressure you dey give urself daily untop visa.

Hahahahaha

These two guys up there has been shouting here,cursing people that is telling them to avoid VV.

Why all these anger, curses?. Isn't because you know that it's the truth, unfortunately you can't back down because you've put much in it.

People were lucky with assylum claims in the past, from 2022, it became very hard.
The painful part is seeing married men claiming assylum.
Also for the singles, they claim gay, come on, it's stale.

There is federal express entry pathway, student pathway, pnp,skilled trade, buisness pathway.
Instead of exploring any of these options, you will come here showing that you know nothing and you are unwilling to learn.

I agree with someone up that wrote that you are touts in ignorance, uncouthness.

Dammm. Like another wrote, channel your anger to 1RCC who will see through your lies.

Someone said the R in their name is Refugee, lol, good for you, but do you also know it's really for countries that experience war like what happened in Ukraine?

Saying Nigeria is a terrorist nation will not fly.

It won't.
Finally, I know somebody, I know somebody, Let that person come forward and tell us that he got assylum in 2022, 2023.

You need to have gotten a Letter of Interest on your IRCC EE profile dashboard before submitting an EOI. Although I did submit my EOI after the ICT info session of last year.

the thing is that,you must either attend their information session as a way of showing connection to NB, from people that got NB,after the information session, the NB will send them the link for EOl, seem is not so now, you just need to attend information session,then you can go ahead to submit EOl.

overlord77:


Exactly, that was why I mentioned it in my earlier response and also pasted a link to the next recruitment event coming up. Attendance to NB info sessions and recruitment events are key.

ok, I already applied for this event ooo, months ago,still waiting to to hear from them or even get mail for the session. Hoping ooo.

overlord77:


There are other provinces you can submit EOI for besides these 3 you mentioned. For instance, NB has a recruitment session coming up in June, go register. I just got their PNP LOI on my EE profile about 5days ago.

congratulations on your LO1, I discovered that you cannot submit an EOI till you attend their information session or if you have connections to NB. Is this the steps you followed?

Zeewirld:
With the current high score and IRCC unpredictability....I am wondering if those on 470-479 stand any chance in getting ITA...It is frightening and tiresome

high score where? What will those on 400 or below say?

Iykeabc:
Please what of Enugu state, have they started accreditation because I'm yet to receive any emails or sms concerning the training. I'm in enugu north LGA

Me too oo

Hello everyone.

Please I need your help and I do hope to get an answer from you. As a pos agent in Nigeria, how can I apply for express entry. Is it via the self employed route?
This is getting me confused as I have been an agent since 2019.

I own a shop where I help people with transactions using the pos gotten from the bank. Please how do I get work experience for this and noc code as I just have the certificate gotten from the bank and I just registered it this year as a business.

Please I have done my Wes verification and I want to write Ielts…I really want to be sure before venturing into this route.


Thank you…

Gurus in the house pls help me…

search for personal banker, I can't remember the code, but this is the title, if you are an agent of known companies like pos, ready to get the reference.

Is it possible to kick out these anti immigration people from here?
I mean,if you are here hoping for a PR, you will know we don't need them, because the more people get their PR,the more the number of anti immigrants, we need to do something about them, seun do something pls.
This is how silly some of you sound with this talk.
Cut me with this your I care attitude, you don't care.
Shift from the road abeg.

Nothing irritates me more than an immigrant that thinks another immigrant is their problem. Especially after watching the UK fall apart due to immigrants chasing other immigrants away; it’s crass & extremely dim witted. But of course, I shouldn’t expect more from people who’ve moved from underdeveloped countries with a backward mindset that blames others, rather than the govt, for their woes- look at Nigeria and the last elections.

You say there’s no housing and it’s the immigrants fault? Why did Canada wait until this year to restrict house purchase to people with PR? The govt was too stupid to preempt that investors would buy up those properties right? But it’s an immigrants fault.

Canada is doing EE with other pathways but making it difficult for immigrant doctors and nurses to practice. Why can’t they adopt UKs model that use exams and trainings to upskill immigrant health practitioners? but hey it’s the immigrants fault.

Canada attracted professionals from various fields and forgot to attract builders or property developer, cos how are they expecting a bricklayer to score 490 (meaning having either two languages + a masters/PhD and having over £8k in finance) or expecting a rich property developer to leave Europe and move to Canada? Lmao! No it’s the immigrants fault.

You’re complaining about moving from city to city due to rising cost of living? Isn’t that urbanisation/urban expansion that countries desire? Should have paid attention in social studies class but it’s the immigrants fault.

You’re saying it’s difficult to travel to work? Can’t an encouraging tax breaks for companies that promote remote/hybrid working in industries that can (eg tech) solve this? No, it’s the immigrants fault.

All the taxes being paid by professionals in Canada, what’s the govt using it for? It’s the immigrants fault.

Also You’re being condescending to the people that go to “mushroom” unis to get PR, forgetting that your reality is different from theirs. They were probably street hawkers in Lagos that can now become customer service assistants- to them they’re living their dreams. While this doesn’t sit well with you, again, it’s THEIR reality/suffering/happiness/achievement.

Finally, you ask us to understand anti-immigrant perspectives? If I call your father a baboon (which is likely untrue), would you ask people to understand my perspective or would you be “absolutionist” and call me out immediately? After all, what’s wrong is wrong?

The UK chased their immigrants away, now they’re begging their retired citizens to come back to work cos there’s no more money to pay them. Like, the island is drowning in shit- literally. I’m just glad they’re no more immigrants to blame. They’ve finally realised the government was to blame all the while.

it's draining talking with these people. I feel weak reading comments.

Timmypaul:
we have done the biometric it takes about 2months plus here in Uk, we won’t be able to meet up with the 50days left. I’m thinking of using her Uk residence permit with a letter of explanation.

you should get all these ready, you must only upload her passport, apply for passport asap, it can be done.it's your money.
People get passport in a week.

Creativebelle:
Doing perfectly well..not gonna work until I am done with school..so now it’s just schooling and my kids..hubby arrived to stay one month and go back..nothing on planet earth will stop me from travelling with my kids..what works for A may not work for B..I do not encourage it either..

When we got to Canada, one of the first challenge was driving in the snow. I remember the first time, we almost had a terrific accident.
So I was able to do a video that will show you how I drive around in my neighborhood during intense winter cold

Thank you. Indeed I am already in the pool. Brushing up my French for TEF exam. Even then I will only make it to the mid 400s at most (after redoing IELTS assuming I get an 8 in listening this time around, making spouse unaccompanying and passing TEF). Which is why I am looking at other alternatives. Mid 400s is still not quite there yet. 🤦‍♀️

still do whatever you can, don't think too much about your points, you might get invite with your score. Miracle no de tire Jesus.
Also you can still Pursue student visa.

Jacknn:


Una don start again,na pple like una make person delay delay nor retake Ielts again,see am now see score, 484..

don't mind them. IRCC workers.

leopardinatree:

Thank you Sir,

But perhaps you could respond to my questions.
1) is there anyone who has tried the visit visa - work permit and eventually PR route?
2) do children of international students pay school fees? (Primary school)

Thanks.

you can try the visit visa, it's already stated that you can convert visit visa to PR, if you get a job.
Children of international students can access same benefit with a PR, but you must have resided for atleast 9 months, I am not sure of the exact number of months.
It's better you start this Express Entry process.
No fast route to japa.
It needs patient.
Or you move to UK.

newmum:
UPDATE:

got the ITA at 5:20pm (Nigerian time). I guess it's coming in batches

Miracle no de tire Jesus.
Congratulations.

leopardinatree:
Dear respected Nairalanders,

I hail you. I am not from Nigeria, but i am so grateful for this forum as my country people are either not interested in sharing their journeys or have not managed to “japa” in large numbers as you Nigerians have.
Thank you for the wealth of information in this and many Canadian posts alike. I am a japa hopeful too, sitting in the pool with a measly 300+ points wondering how to raise my scores but trying to be optimistic that Bill C-19 may favour my noc.
In the meantime i wish to ask if there is anyone with experience of landing on visit visa and working their way to PR. I know it maybe a long process but i wish to get the quickest fix to my japa dilemma.
My country has done a fast one on me and i just need to move yesterday. Study route is too expensive but also i am told that children of international students dont get to study free of charge, please correct me if i am wrong.

Listening attentively to all your positive feedbacks and i appologize if this is not the right thread for my inquiries.

Thank you once again, O beloved Nigerians for the youtube videos and all the information you keep putting out there to help us your fellow Africans. May you japa in multitudes and may you be prosperous in Canada. IJN amen.

This is post smells Nigeria, Nigeria.
There is not fastest route to japa, especially when you no get money, you hear? Thank you.

Tintin933:
Hello Family,

Send an email to me, I'll check for a copy and send tl you.


Also, I'm a guy.

lol, thank you bro.
I just sent you a mail.

Thanks very much for posting this and big congratulations!!!!

Me that recommended, you scored higher than me.

To do this in 5 months no be beans, my bro. Most people need 5 months to go from B1 to B2.

My brother, my sister, I take your future beg you, go and apply to Quebec, whether to work or as a student (local tuition rate if the school is outside Montreal in certain STEM, Social work, Health fields).

There are agencies (paid by the government at no cost to you) looking for people to take up jobs in the smaller cities and rural towns of QC. Salaries are high (McDonald's is paying $20/hr and hiring 14-year-olds).

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I'll send your testimony to a couple of family friends who are dragging their feet, even after offering to pay for their french classes.
