@TheCongo2, you missed this part..... "My husband and I"...

akilugarba77:
I want to live and work in canada under a budget [b]my husband and i [/b]have designed. Am no more interested to owning a business where you tend to sell debts to people, wake up one morning only to see your shop has been buggled by unknown bandits. I WANT A JOB IN CANADA BE IT MENNIAL OR PROFESSIONAL

You took the words right out of my mouth! The guy is just frustrated.

Jamestown123:
Eheee now i get where u are going. because them no gree give u visa now e con make all those countries bad place haba. All what am trying to say is this my friend, when u see something that is white and u failed to call it white instead choose to call it black it means that u are not been honest and thats the problem in Naija.

Just like that? Because you didn't lose anyone during the so called elections that's why you can just make such flimsy comment. Kai! That's why this country is the way it is.

wetdick:
Good for you. At the end of the day, the election was conducted.

you and your other folks are just bunch of complainers and whiners. nothing more

Ese pupo! But I don't think it's necessary here. Let's keep things simple. Please continue the good work on the express entry thread

raphrulz:
Hi Guys,

So I considered spreading my tentacles here to mark "Landing thesis"...

But it seems this group is made up of more serious people that may not be interested in my professorial services.

Should I go ahead? or not ??

Just call VFS, I'm sure you passport has arrived. I called two days after my passport was dispatched and they said it was ready for pickup.

juicebox:
Hello guys, my passport was dispatched from Accra on the 21st of February and up till now it has not arrived Lagos. Please, does it usually take this long?

Congratulations!!

Ramj:

DanXplore:
LRWS: 8.5, 7.5, 6.5, 8

Do you think I should request for a re-mark for the writing?

If you have submitted your application and waiting for PPR, then have patience. Do you want to use your POF to apply for a TRV? You think it won't raise eyebrows?

Mimi1999:
Good day all.

I have a licensing exam(phatmacy) by June and the

website says international graduates of pharmacy can

apply and will be given a letter as it pertains visa. I am

also awaiting PPR(express entry) and believe I will get

it before June. Please what are my chances?

I am 30, single, i just resumed work in a pharmacy and

my salary is 250k. I was without a job for 3 months

and I have 10k USD

in my account as POF from express entry application.

Zero travel history or visa refusal.

I can only write the exam in Canada or London.

Please help me.

Please how long does it take for passports to return after submitting to VFS?

Good day my People,

Please can i apply for express entry without writing IELTS? I hold MSC in Animal science with minimum of 2years experience. My wife also hold a BSC in nursing and most recently working at Teaching hospital. We are in early 30 and late 20 respectively with a son.

Please kindly help to answer my question.

Thank you all.

Congratulations!! That was quite fast seeing as you added your partner after submitting.

ruicosta2000:
I'm sorry this is coming late.
I started the journey around June 2018. I am a silent reader and was inspired by the success stories I read here. And so I decided to give it a try. ECA was with WES and straightforward.
IELTS was on July 7. Initially had LRWS 8 8.5 6.5 8 but EOR was successful and writing upgraded to 7. I noticed the score change in the morning of August 8. I started following up with IDP Australia a week after I submitted the EOR on July 20 and always checked online early in the morning and just before I sleep at night. Called IDP that Wednesday morning (there was going to be a draw that day) to find out if they had the hard copy same day and went to their office at Ogudu to pick up. They had the hard copy but hadn't mailed me to pick it up yet as the bank draft for refund of the EOR fee wasn't ready yet. I told them I didn't mind and could pick up the draft later.
I got the ITA same day.
Submitted the application on Sept 1 and notified them of my intention to add common-law partner on November 7. We were given 30 days to submit the additional documents. Submitted on December 7.
I received a mail requesting her to do Biometrics and a few minutes later, the PPR mail came on February 12.
Documents submitted include
AXA Money Market as POF
Bank Account letter of confirmation and proof of investment in Fixed deposit.
Letter from a Close Friend attesting to the relationship
AXA life insurance policy naming her as beneficiary.
Rent receipt in both our names for one year.
Statement of account showing transfers from my account to hers over the past one year
Photographs taken together with time date of location spanning one year (10 photos).
I wish everyone speedy processing and success.

Congratulations Fizzle!

dubajek:
please how do I go about PNP rout?

I called their number and was told $210 for extra 23kg luggage

MissEmmy:
Pls has any one had to pay for an extra piece of check-in luggage on Ethiopian Air? I think It says 60$ per extra piece on the website but I'm not certain.

I didn't pay any additional fee.

[quote author=cmaamaa post=75874481][/quote]

Send them a message via the contact form saying you want to add another document, they'll update your profile to reflect the additional document. I started my evaluation with only my B.Sc before I calculated my CRS and decided to include my Master's degree.

cmaamaa:
Good evening fellow NLs... Please I jst found out my SIL has an NCE in French (ALVAN) plus DELF (Diploma in French Language)

She has already sent in her BSc in French (UNN) to WES before mentioning these other certificates.

Please how can she add and possibly verify one of these to claim 2 or more certificates.

Please epp our ministry biko

Why not share the name of your school. There might be someone here who has gone through the same process and can give you more information. I didn't pay for verification of my credentials.

jrapheal:
Good morning house, I need a quick answer to something urgent because I am about to beat somebody up in my institution today.

I have spent so much money in sending my documents (Neco transcripts, HND and OND transcripts, and my statement of Results ) to WES, on my WES page, they have received my documents and have sent it back to my school for verification.

Please do I need to pay my school for verification and for courier again to send it back to WES? I think the verification process is no longer my business. Cos I got a call from the clerk in my school office asking me to pay the same amount I paid earlier for them to verify my docs and send back to WES.

Pls help me with information pls if u have crossed this bridge before. I have been on WES since November 7.

Like Smileymum said, contact the airline and see if you can modify your ticket (you'll have to pay for this). I believe you should be able to. Else, you might have to buy another ticket for Toronto-Calgary taking into consideration your arrival time in Toronto. Also bear in mind that you'll have to pay for your checked in luggage if you go with this option.

Barryston:
I only booked to Toronto what can I do now?

Didn't you book a ticket that will take you all the way to Calgary? If you did, then you only need to take your connecting flight to Calgary when you get to Toronto.

Barryston:
Good day everyone, please I've booked our flight to Canada via EgyptAir but final destination is Calgary. Please am i to book for Calgary flight when i get to Toronto or how is it done?

Please no vex I never comot the shores of Africa!

Awww.. Newmum.... I shed some tears while reading this. I'm so happy for the new life you're starting and the new life you're about to birth . God's blessings on every side.

Errmmm... Shey na boy abi girl?

TESTIMONY TIME

So I have been 6weeks in Canada and I can say that God has been so faithful, so much so that my greatest challenge many a times is making the best choice amongst many good options. Here are a few highlights:

Starting a Business
Participating in Acces' Entrepreneurship Connections has been very helpful in getting to understand how things work here. My business' niche is highly regulated, so there is a lot of work to be done. Lots of useful contacts made. Looking forward to Business Day 1.

Finding Work
First week of February, I decided to start job-hunting so that bills will be getting paid. Before the week was out, I got and resumed at this interesting job at an Airline Servicing Company. Also got an RBC invite for an info session and interview. Aced it and got an offer to resume at RBC this February as a fulltime staff. They will be bearing the cost of obtaining some certification that I require. Today, I got another offer from TD Bank...but RBC's offer appears better, and I love the atmosphere at RBC's head office where I will be working.

Finding Accommodation
This has remarkably been easy. When I needed to move from Airbnb to a more permanent accommodation, I found a lovely place in Toronto where the Landlady didn't care about my newness to Canada. No job reference, credit check or guarantor required and rent is paid month to month (not first and last as is usually required). Now because of my new job at RBC, I need to move to Mississauga. Guess what? A Canadian friend connected me to a couple in Brampton that have a furnished 1-bedroom basement apartment for rent and we agreed on a month to month rent of $625 CAD! For a 1-bed apartment within GTA! Amazing!

There are so many other things to be thankful for in this new place called HOME, and it can only get better.

TIP: Doing as much research as possible before landing is important to hit the ground running.
