This is the long bridge area from Berger to MFM side, I drove in it while it was raining as I was returning from the Redemption Camp but never knew the water level got this high even tho, a vehicle splashed the water on my windscreen at a point. Saw a taxi that seemed to stop in the middle of the road, guess it's because the driver feels it might be too dangerous to continue. The rain didn't smile at all...

If he is more eligible, which degree should he evaluate? The ones he got from naija or the one from UK. Thanks Zandora...

His ND + HND evaluated together is what will get him the highest score for Education and that's what he he should send for evaluation. His pgd from the prestigious Hertfordshire , would have been good as it will not waste time in being evaluated but it's likely going to only reflect a year of study hence, the ND+HND which is usually evaluated as two certificates and fetches more marks than even the Bsc

My International passport is in my maiden name and i want to emmigrate with my husband and daughter. Can i still use that passport?

Depending on who the principal applicant is, if you are, it might be safe to change the name to your husband's surname but if you are not, I think you can still use it. The only issue may be in the future as the visa you will be issued will be in your maiden name. However, you might want to consider when you get to Canada, the name you'll be registered with et al.... Not sure if you can use another name(which will be your hubby's surname now) to register for your PR card

I'm just skeptical so it does not amount to a double application. Though online status shows returned. We have tried calling them they are not picking.

Hello all,

Please I need advice. My husband had earlier applied for the SINP. He uploaded some documents and sent some via post as adviced when he put a call thru to them. He then received a mail from them after 4 months sayi incomplete documents. He replied them saying he uploaded some and sent some via post which they received and acknowledged. Now the status on his application shows 'returned'. Do we reapply since the SINP has opened? And do we have to cancel the current profile?

He ought to have sent the documents via email and not post. However, there should be a way you can bring it to their notice that you sent the documents and they acknowledged receipt. Someone who was nominated today via them also had similar issue regarding documents not complete, hers were civil documents though and she reapplied 2 days after, you should do same as well, and you can upload the forms you used before cuz if you are to start all over, it might get filled before you finish

French test result is a must and the main proficiency requirement since it is a French speaking Province. English test result is just an addendum.

French Test is no longer compulsory, check their website for the requirement.

I will be so glad if anybody can take out his/her time to answer my few questions on canadian relocation:
1. I am a working class with a family that intends to relocate finally to canada soon
2. I will be solely responsible for the finances
3. What are the steps i need to take to move my family down there without any issue
4. What are my chances of getting job there soon to sustain my family(i have a technical background)
5. How tolerant are the canadian govt to immigrants

Any other information will be highly appreciated. Thanks

There's load of information that has been dished out on 2 threads concerning your query. You can take your time out to locate the threads and study for yourself but basically, you start by writing IELTS General and you also evaluate your qualifications to determine the equivalency in Canada.

Momoluwa:
Hello,

Please i'd like to be educated on how the proof of funds work. I have a family of 4.

Am I suppose to have this fund in my account as at the time of entry into the pool?

Can I enter into the pool, then gather the funds together?

At what point am I going to be required to show proof of funds?

and what if the fund is a gift from....say my mum. is that going to be acceptable?

Thanks ya'll

Yes, the fund can be a gift from your mum, with a letter that she gave you as a gift.

Yes you can enter the pool while still trying to gather money. That you have entered doesn't mean you will get ITA immediately so, it is when the draw score comes to your crs score that you will need the proof of fund

@Jesustheway,
Where can i get the following federal forms as it was my inability to get them that made me not to submit application for SINP the last time. your assistance would be appreciated.

IMM0008: Generic Application Form
IMM5562: Supplementary information:Your travels

i tried downloading from both cic and sk website but getting error message and the forms are part of the requirements to submit application

Your system can prompt you to use Adobe Reader to open the forms instead, go with that, it should open

zandora:


Then deactivate that profile and create another one. Sometimes this happens, it's just a glitch in their system.

Was sent a notification of registration without the pdf as well, all i did was get into MyCIC and then clicked on the displayed account bearing the EE Number, it will download the pdf message for him. The inquirer should note this

Happy to announce to you all that Saskatchewan has reopened its SINP Express Entry Category again on November 2nd. Chek the link below and hurry with your application. There are just 500spaces available:

http://www.economy.gov.sk.ca/immigration/express-entry


After opening the page, scroll down a little and locate "Application Guide". Click to open it and scroll down the guide(its in pdf) first to check if your occupation is listed. If its there, then click on the Apply Online to start your application. I must warn you that its a very tedious process but just hang in there till you submit before the Indians carry the day again.

Best wishes!

Don't know what it is with FTC but I guess I'm one today

You should give your circumstances which is making you think on which of them you should settle for, that's when one will know what to advice

zandora:


What are you thinking ? I'm drawing blanks here

Sort of just pulling your legs......wish you the best a future in Canada has to offer, but importantly an admonition for you to have a relationship with God by giving your life to Jesus(if you haven't already done that). Heaven and earth will pass away no matter our achievement, only our repentance and conversion to Christ will eventually matter.

God bless you.

zandora:


No, haven't left yet but would be leaving very soon. Ontario.

Why so soon? Or, is it what I'm thinking... Lol

amicable09:
Dear HR manager, sorry in as much as you are pained, we are also more pained. One of these days I will write an article and post my pains too. Truth is we don't know what you recruiters want! I've noticed your preferences vary as well as the CVs and Cover Letters.

We apply and get short listed, you bomb us with questions during the aptitude test that has no relationship whatsoever with the job role. Fortunately, we ace the test and are invited for an interview then you make the interview look like a war zone... very hostile looking panel throwing questions at you, other times you meet other HR Mgrs who simply act as though they are doing you a favor, haba! Me, I tire for all of these attitude sef. If there is a particular thing you are looking for just say it! if you want to pay a graduate 20k because we studied in Nigeria then say it as well, it is not when we say what we want then you will post us to a later date,, Next week! Not fair jare

Double thumbs up for you. I think a lot of HR people can sometimes just be hypocrites. Most often, they act like a god who you must appease before you get to your destination. They fail under the same rules they apply to applicants and like you said, you just sometimes don't know what they want.

iceberg54:


@ Zandora and other bosses, pls help to answer this.

I'm supposing the cert you don't have is that of the Msc, anyway, I will suggest you send everything you can send, let WES determine if they will want to see your statement of result or certificate before doing the evaluation

hildarela:
Good day All,
I've been following this thread prior to my Ielts test on Sept 26.
L-7.5
R-8.5
W-7.0
S-8.0
My husband who is the principal applicant has to retake the test. My question is what is a possible solution to insufficient funds for POF
Thank you

Whichever of you is younger and can score better in IELTS and also has sufficient years of work experience(let's say like 4-5) and has higher qualification should be the principal applicant for you to have sufficiently high score(this is not a matter of - he's the head of the home o! lol).

Find a way of getting the money for now, God can have blessed you by the time you want to leave finally.

Meanwhile, use the link below to determine who between you and hubby will score higher as the principal applicant

Good day wonderful people,

Please I need our gurus in here to assist me by providing answers to the following questions:

1. As regards evaluation of results, on opening my account with WES Canada as a married applicant, will I evaluate my results and that of my spouse on the same WES account eventhough we finished from different school (Unilag & Unilorin) or will the evaluation be on our individual WES account?

2. Do we have any guru here with useful hint/direction on their experience in evaluating Unilag & Unilorin results with WES? ...I wud be glad to hear from there on how to go abt it.

Thanks to everyone for the usual kindness as I anxiously awaits response from our dear gurus in the house.

Separate accounts you have to open for you both and you will pay separate money.

Get someone in the registry or transcript section the schools, they can help you fasttrack the process. Meanwhile, check my previous explanation on what needs to be done in getting your transcripts adequately packaged before being sent to WES, you should see it on the previous page in reply to someone's question. I advise you send it by courier.

zandora:
Why the reposts above?

Abi o!

nyabingi:



Thanks for the swift response I have visited the site and still digesting it, according the instructions IELTS is mandatory please is this test for me and my spouse or just me also what are the financial implication for a family of three with a year old child

It's only the principal applicant that will write IELTS. Also, 14kCAD is what is required for a family of 3, 10k for the principal applicant and 2k for each accompanying family member.

Meanwhile, your score won't be high enough for the mpnp cuz it's a friend you have there and not family. Those with family have a 150point advantage. As it stands presently, they have issued more than 2000 LAAs(Letter of Advice to Apply) out of the 5000 they will be issuing and they are still at 560. Between 400 and 500 I think, is what someone whose connection to Manitoba is through a friend can score, provided you have not applied to EE and the draws they have done in the last two period was just a difference of 2marks from each other so, it might take time before it goes down.

I suggest you look for other Provincial Nomination programmes as well and not wait only for mpnp

nyabingi:
Hello guys I was referred to this thread by a friend kindly help me out -- I have a friend in Manitoba who said she will stand for me under the Manitoba nominee program but she doesn't have much info about the program.
I and my wife and child of 1year want to apply for MPNP but don't really know where start.

I need clarification on the three months bank balance, is it late if I start filling expression of interest form?

Manitoba does not require 3months bank statement, its Saskatchewan that requires it.

You can start your Manitoba journey here from the link below, its not too late to start:

Good morning house,

Please I will need the gurus in the house to assist in answering my two (2) questions regarding POF below:

1. If you are applying for FSW, at what point will you need to provide your POF, and can you open and submit your profile while you are working on saving for your POF?

2. From what I read, I understand that some pronvices require that you must have your POF 3 months before your application for PNP, is it all provinces that request for this or is there some other provinces that request for applicant's POF only after their PNP is successful?


Please I would be glad if these questions can be answered by any of the special ones we have in here as this is very important for me in order to take a decision with respect to my application.


Thanks in anticipation

1.) At the point when you have been selected to submit your documents in application for Permanent Residency is the time you will need pof so, you can apply and enter the pool while you are building your pof and waiting to be selected to apply fully for PR

2.) Its only Saskatchewan that asks for pof which the amount required must have been sitting in the account 3months before applying, all other provinces are normal but, you submit your pof with other required documents before your application for PNP can be successful

chigoziri7:
Hummm..thank you..funds are not an issue at all, the issue is actually time. Time to prepare for the test and write the test. we work and hardly have time so thats why i wanted to write the french becos i studied french (1st degree), i speak fluently, live and work in a francophone country so i am french except in my passport lol.. Moreover, the test venue is not far from my house (stay in Lome). Hubby is not so good in French dats why i asked if he could do IELTS. if we have to do IELTS, we need to drive down to Accra which ofcourse ill need 3 days off work and again, we need to prepare. the next ielts exam in Accra is dec 2, 7th and 9th if am not mistaken. so its actually the time.

You can go ahead tho, the IELTS adds more marks for you

Ekicedar:
Pls house kindly assist.

1. Can I use my mutual fund account as POF.
2. Hubby changed surname to fathers's first name.we got married with his new surname but he has d old surname on his Pport. I am d principal applicant almost done with ECA so I can enter d pool.He has not started d process to apply for change of surname( if he is granted).
I can't wait for him any longer.

Pls what name should I fill for him ?

Fill the name on his present passport. If he becomes succesful in changing it before you get ITA, you then change it to the new one. Even if its after, just notify them and there shouldn't be any problem.

If by mutual funds you mean your pension account, yes you can use it but let it be a supporting account and not the main one

Gbemigalew:


Thanks for the response JesusDWay, unfortunately I don't have a recent history that has up to that amount, does that mean I can't apply?

You sure can, you may however try to be as updated as possible

Dear seniors

My name is manprit kaur . I am married.
My age is 27 years
My qualifications is M.B.A Finance and graduation in commerce

I have 5 years experience in Noc 4163

Myielts score is list=6 ; Reading =5 ; writing =6 ;speaking =6.


Can I apply for SINP . what is procedure .

Check the link below. When you have opened it, scroll down a little and locate 'Application Guide', click on it and you will find all the information you need but first, scroll to the end of it to see the list of occupations they need people for to find out if yours is among, only then can you even think of applying.

http://economy.gov.sk.ca/immigration/occupations-in-demand

Maybe there's something I don't know here, how does TSA affect Federal institutions? There still must be a way to do your payment for whatever you need from the school

captured:
Hi, i am applying for FSWP through an agency (canreach) and all was going well till The One Account Policy. it has prevented my institution from been able to send my transcript to WES since we have no account to pay to and it cant be processed without payment evidence.
Would this delay impact on my application.

Also, i am wondering which state to select, am a single mum of two boys age 5 & 7 which means school has to be within reach. I currently work as web developer/consultant and own my own DI/Heat Transfer Press

Using Canreach is a waste of money, I'll charge very less

Much of what you have said here is hard to understand. What is One Account Policy and, how does it affect your institution regarding sending your transcripts to WES. All you need to pay for WES is your atm card. You get on their website and fill necessary details and provide details of your card. They will notify you of successful payment and give you a reference number which you will ask school to quote in the cover letter for your transcript. Also, there's a Transcript Refuest Form you will print from WES which you will fill part of it and give your school to fill the rest and include with your transcript before sending it. I don't see any hard thing here except you have issues with how you do payment transactions.

You can choose as many provinces as you like but, Google the province in Canada where your intended occupation is doing well in and that can guide you in your choice of province

baba11:

Give us your website or link to this

I don't have a website or any link yet, sort of an idea to make some money for now. I might scale it up as I see the prospects. I've already given someone details and he should be there on Monday, another person's qualification I got is higher and they won't take him. The agency is to send all successful candidates to the company in 2weeks time so, whoever is interested should get in asap before it fills up.

I've got nothing to hide, it's just a way to make something for myself based on information I'm privy to and those who finally get it will see its a very considerable deal based on what their salary is

Etfash:


But JesusDWay, for anyone who neither studied nor worked in Canada, it is practically impossible for such a person to qualify for the recent draw except the fellow is less than 32 and has a phD. In my opinion, for some of us in this part of the world who do not have any of the above, 481 is the maximum points we can get without a phD. So, we would have to turn to PNP or Jobs with LMIA.

I am at 417 at the moment and intend to write the IELTS exam by December; but, if the CRS remains this high in the next couple of draws, It will be needless to rewrite the test again as ONLY PNP or Job with LMIA would do the magic.

Well....be optimistic, God can very well make things to work in our favour.

Someone did say her brother or maybe it's her brother-in-law scored 500(which should be with a PHD) and still got OINP contacting him to apply for their nomination, I told her there was no need as 500 should definitely get ITA, that's to tell you there are people who are still high up there though, it appears this particular draw may be for the CEC Class.

One should however be on the lookout for PNPs....it shall be well in Jesus name

fphumie:
Thank you for your response Jesusdway, the province is Nova Scotia.
Is there any one that has successfully applied for PNP in Nova Scotia in the house ? Was it positiveWhat is the time lag after applying ? Can it take up to one year ? Want to try to apply to the province

See someone's timeline for Nova Scotia(EE PNP tho) below:

Joel 2:28} And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

The Canadian immigration VISION project that started sometimes ago has finally ended in Jehovah's praise:

I'll say be very ready for January if you are interested. Infact, I think one should have everything ready including post-dating whatever form is inclusive in the application package to 1st January and use courier(Fedex takes 3days which I think would be perfect) to send it like December 31st, such that it can get to them by January 3rd before Asians fill out all spaces.

mozo:


Yep, I said this earlier. Best to just be on the look out for PNP.. Fastest fingers

It's not PNPs and not LMIA, it's that new people with good scores are entering the pool weekly. Also, previously declined ITAs and canceled applications that now re-entered the pool.

PNPs and LMIAs give 600points, which is even higher than the current CRS cut -off score so, it can't be them

chigoziri7:
Thank you JesusDway. As you suggested, i will consider writing the 2 tests, but can my husband write IELTS while i write TEF as the principal applicant. Also, I am not sure i will meet up with this year's application.my aim is to do the test in January and then apply by early february 2016. I hope that is ok, What do you think please??

I suggested you write the two, not sharing it between you and hubby. If funds are the constraints, I'll advice you borrow now to do the exam and you can the person later.

I suggest you write and have your results before January 1st cuz, you may miss the opportunities in January if you wait till February
