You can add up any number of jobs in NOC 0,A, or B to make up 3ys as long as one of them is a minimum 1yr.

If I understand the major issue, it is whether you can claim the "management trainee" job for points.

1. FSW does not exempt "trainee" jobs from minimum requirements. Only Volunteer work or unpaid internships does not count (see here).

2. Some "0" NOCs (0122, 0621) have "trainee" as part of possible job titles even though part of "0" employment requirements is "several years of experience". 1 NOC B (1312) also has.

3. Having said all that, I believe the key is your JD. Does your "management trainee" JD match with any NOC 0, A or B?

dorothy0324:
Hello All, I’m a bit confused with this NOC calculation. I have a 1 year experience (NYSC) as an assistant finance officer in a well known logistics company in Lagos, a 1 year 5 months experience in a bank as credit risk officer, currently, I work as a mgt. trainee in another bank (8months). The question is can I claim to have 3 years experience?

What is O.D?

cutieplum:
guys stick to WES please. Got my O.D evaluated as an equivalent of a Master's degree. Don't know how ICES evaluates Optometry, so can't speak on that.

Folafikemi:
Good Canny family, pls can someone work me through Biometrics centers in Lagos or how do I go about it pls



Pls I need answers to this as I have to fix this part ASAP

1. You raise a CSE anytime.

2. If you don't remember, don't sweat it.

3. Check IRCC Twitter handle, it appears they are aware of the log in issues.

soulhighman:
Good day everyone please I have this very important question to ask.

When is the best time to raise a cse? I am post AOR and Pre-MEP. I just remembered that there is a job I did for one month and few days while as a student in the UK that I forgot to include in my personal history . It was during my masters degree. That period had already been covered automatically with my education when I got to the personal history part so while filling the form, I just concentrated on the dates that haven't been covered yet. That was how I forgot to put that job.

Also, are there people who omittee jobs that they did for one, two, three weeks ? Cos there are a few that I can't remembee their exact periods but it was after studies. Should there be any cause for concern over this?

And please, is it just me that is having issues with login into my application?

I don't think you can "volunteer" and still get paid with official letters of employment. And working Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm is full time.

What is your real concern about the job?

Amica26:
Please I volunteered at an organisation. I got official letters of employment, I worked from Monday to Friday 8am to be 5pm and I got paid as well. Can I claim this as work experience?

Hanty!

Ligxy:
Can somebody with only Bsc choose 2 or more certificates?

It is alright. May speedy PPR fall on you.

hipstar2:
Happy Birthday @ifeoma.77

Fellow housemates (hahhahaha), I'm kinda ready to submit the application and my heart is doing 'gbish gbish'. The only explanation I have is my POF and that was just to help the processing officer do the maths.

I uploaded the same ref letter in the placeholder for all the job titles (5 different JDs) cos it's from the same employer and I got only one letter. Is this okay?

My optional document folder is empty as I no get anything to explain.

Perhaps I should go to bed.

This is why context is important. You did not specify that your CV was with a US school not a US government.

And it also appears that you have already made a decision and is just looking for reinforcement.

You can choose not to add it. Since it didn't appear before in the US immigration application. Info-sharing is between the Canadian and US governments.

If you decide to include it, it will be under "Organization", volunteer.

nelronaldo:
Hello bro, here is a clearer picture.

In October 2015, an ex school mate of mine and his friend decided to venture into blogging and I volunteered to support him with football contents at my own convenience and I did that on a part time basis until January 2018. As at 2015 the company wasn't registered and I didn't know because my ex school mate was not so open about the details of the blogging company and I didn't care either because I was just doing what I like. I was just doing it the same way I come to nairaland to create a topic and post online.

However, sometime last year, after I stopped creating contents for him, he told it was a registered company and that I could include it in my CV if I am job hunting. So I used it in a CV I submitted to a US school, stating I wrote articles for the blogging company from 2015 to 2018 because I was applying to a program that requires good writing skills.

A fortnight ago, I just checked up the company on CAC's public search and I found out this company was registered in March 2017; more than one year after I started writing for him, meaning at the time I started helping him with contents, they weren't registered.

Fortunately and Unfortunately for me, I didn't include the blog company when filling my US Visa application ahead of the Visa interview, I only used it in the CV I submitted to the school to secure my admission.

Now how do I tell CIC I did voluntary activity somewhere from October 2015 till Jan 2018, when the company wasn't even registered till March 2017.

Also I can't add it to employment because I wasn't employed by the company and I have no official documentation to that effect. Even if I was employed, a company which was registered in 2017 can't employ someone in 2015.

In addition, there was no contract stipulating I was doing a voluntary service, it was just me who verbally offered to help him, when he told me about his plans to go into blogging.

In my US Visa application I submitted to the US embassy, the blog company isn't part of my work history and I also stated that I haven't engaged in any voluntary activity.

I feel more comfortable removing it entirely so as not to contradict my US Visa application. I am only worried about this because I have read here that Permanent Residency background check is thorough and I don't know if the check would get to the extent of demanding my CV from the US school I applied to.

No.

adebee16:
Please I raised CSE for renewed passport months ago, I also got a reply that the responsibile office has received my documents, should this have reflected in my cic account?

Just put it under "Organization" or if you are more comfortable with "Employment", do it this way:

Sportswriter (volunteer, part-time) - Employment - XYZ Blogging Company.

nelronaldo:
Thank you, there is no contract agreement or official letter to this voluntary work. It is a completely unofficial stuff. I started doing it after graduation because I was bored at home and I continued doing it after i got a job because i loved football. So the activity required me to write football contents for a friend who is working in a local blogging company at my own convenience without any financial reward. I am not so sure if the blogging company knew I was the one developing the contents sef, even if they knew, I wasn't recognised by them.
The issue is I made a mistake by including it in my CV i sent to two US schools that I wrote for the blog for the period I engaged in the activity. I just don't know how far CIC background checks go. If I hadn't included it in any of my CVs, I wouldn't bother including it.
I am just making sure I don't make mistake in this application.

As you were not paid, volunteer work should probably be under "Organization".

NMA should also be under "Organization".

Only your employment should be sequential. The others can be simultaneous.

nelronaldo:
Good day house.

During personal history, do we fill volunteer work as employment? I did a part time voluntary activity when I was working full time. Do I claim the voluntary activity is an employment as well? I can't have two employment in the same period can I?

Secondly, for medicals, do we include NMA as an organization we are part of? If we do, the personal history won't follow sequentially.
Please help.

That's all.

Ottawa will not mail you. You will not receive any update in your account, but your file should have been updated.

The information you provided does not affect your eligibility.

harry41:
Hello House,

please I need your opinion.

I am Nov AOR and I updated cic about change in employment and submitted my offer letter and company ID. I raised a CSE and also mailed Ottawa directly. I got a response for the CSE that the documents have been forwarded to Ottawa but I haven't received a response from Ottawa and my account hasn't been updated with the new documents. please what do I do?

Program update clarifying the legality of dual intent,

"Dual intent is present when a foreign national who has applied or may apply for permanent residence in Canada also applies to enter Canada for a temporary period as a

visitor
student
worker

Having 2 intents (1 for temporary residence and 1 for permanent residence) is legitimate. This section addresses how to apply subsection 22(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) to the decision-making process.

Subsection A22(2) states: “An intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisfied that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay”. Dual intent on the part of the applicant is therefore not prima facie grounds for refusal of temporary resident status.......... "

The cost threshold for excessive demand on health and social services was increased again earlier this year. This makes it even more difficult to fail medicals.

"The annual cost threshold figure for excessive demand on health and social services has been updated. The average Canadian per capita health and social services cost has increased from $6,604 to $6,839, and 3 times that average has been updated from $19,812 to $20,517."

You might need to get legal custody documents. Pls meet a family lawyer.

finishedworks:
Please house would like to ask question, please forgive it it has been asked before. A friend had a child when we where much younger, she should be about 16 plus now. She doesn't Know the where about of her daughter's dad. How possible will it be for her to apply for express entry with her daughter. It's kind of complicated as her daughter bears her surname since she wasn't accepted by her father n his family.

.

What Canada has joined together, let not fake friends put asunder.

Funky123:
Hello house congrats to all the PPR clinchers....May God bless the land for you. Seniors in the house,Pls a friend outside NL asked me a question that is bigger than my knowledge on this journey....She was planning to start this journey with her fiance,but the guy friends in Canada said it's hard to get a good job when one didn't have at least 1 certificate from Canada school and regarding their POF they can't raise for the both of them,Now they both agree to put their wedding plans on hold and let the guy alone go for now....The question now is that is it possible for someone who got a PR visa to come back to Nigeria after 2-3 years to marry the lady legally and go together....How easy is this process and what would you advice pls....Seniors in the house,please help me put mouth Topsmamen,Ifeoma and others..Thanks

Kwa!

I second others. Send mail sharpaly.

There was one dude in an earlier thread who saw his PPR mail long after the deadline has expired (he was checking his account not his email). He wrote that he went to Vfs with the expired letter and started begging before he was allowed to submit.

Vivi844:
Hi everyone. Congrats to the new PPR clinchers.
Our seniors in the house, Please help.
Y'all won't believe what I just heard from CIC. So I decided to call today after my last cse that stated all my documents submitted had been verified. I was told that my PPR was sent since March 7th! 20 days ago!
Anyways, the truth is I didn't see any mail like that. If you've been waiting like I have (over 7 montbs), you'll know how much attention to detail we pay to our emails. How we look at our gmail notification every morning, with hope for the golden email. I'd check my spam, bin, etc.

Please I need urgent help on what to do. How do I get them to resend the PPR email.

Another nice video. This guy is really good.

3 times my Nigerian accent embarrassed me.

Interesting video.

Things I learned when I moved to Canada from Nigeria.

Depends on whether it is express entry based or not. There are several programs. Go to the Saskatchewan immigratino site for more.

Flytime:
do you need to be in the entry pool before applying for the Saskatchewan pnp

Your marital status affects your CRS score and thus your eligibility. That is why the first question of the CRS calculating tool is "What is your marital status?" It is the basis for calculating every other thing.

johnnybravo1990:
A question to Zutlin, and to the house in general: It seems your separation was the cause of the long delay. But how does being separated maritally affect your ‘eligibility’, which was the purpose of the interview, according to the interviewer?

@AdetonaDami, receive strength. You might need to get that job.

@jennyvick01, congrats on your ECA.

@ottawasenators, congrats on PPR. May you prosper in your new home.

@Zutlin, congrats again. May your journey in Canada be easier.

Maybe not.

@mepconsultant used 250k as a top transfer limit. See here.

tey4tobyy8005:
Hello house, I got part of my POF from mum which I have gift deed for already. We used #280 as exchange rate but from the advice gotten here, hubby wants to transfer 160k to my account just to cover up incase of increase in rate. Will 160k be considered as lump sum and will I need write LOE for this also? I'm post ITA.

Thanks.

Ottawa is turninoninown.

Utonne:
Lol. Normal processing o. Ottawa be like Accra now o

No. Check page 1.

You can use the same gckey, but you must create a new profile.

dorothy0324:
Hello All, I recently applied for a Canadian visiting visa. However, I want to create an express entry profile (I did my ielts last week and I’m positive, evaluated my certificates since last year June). I’m wondering if I should use same personal reference code I was given for my visiting visa to create my profile Thanks In advance

Wow, wow.

Security Screening for Ottawa or are the files in Accra?

Be encouraged.

Utonne:
My Aug 24 Aorites @popscicle @Jumziebabyy @HR girl @CanadianNaija @Chrisjordan2015, how far now? 7months 3days Post AOR. Only @Chandlerbing has gotten PPR.

This wait is mad. Cant ever imagine I believed it will be processed max 4 months especially when I found out my VO was Ottawa. Frustration has set in and I dumped my MAP and all the preparations for the move at the beginning of the year. I used to read people's PPR stories taking screenshots to encourage myself, I cant even remember when last i did that. It's just exhausting.

The instructions CLEARLY stated that you should add ALL your siblings, half-siblings and step-siblings. It doesn't matter if your father has 50 wives and 500 children.

The ADR is your second chance. Make sure you add all.

MurphyTheory99:
Hi friends?
I've an urgent question to ask.

While submitting my PR application I added only two of my siblings. Now I need to submit additional forms and I realised another sibling has submitted PR application and listed me and other siblings.

This has got me worried, is there any implication?

N.B my father has several wives and children, part of the reason I omitted in the first place.

Urgent responses please

Congrats.

Pls confirm, what it evaluated as a "Bachelor's degree"?

Kogigallll:
Hello good people,

Just for those who might be in need of this information.

Many people told me to use WES cos I wanted to evaluate a bsc direct entry... That no one had ever used ICES for that.

I wasn't about to delve into the waec wahala, so I just included my A level (ijmb) statement of result and my school included an LOE.

ICES has evaluated it positively in less 9 weeks...

It's good/safe to follow the crowd. But sometimes, a little daring action might just turn out pleasantly.

So I'm a first, at least we now know that ICES does evaluate favorably for direct entry graduates with a 3 year transcript.

Now, IELTS on my mind

Check page 1.

Chayil18:
Hello all,

Please can you assist with the steps to create a profile.

I have an account with CIC which i used for visitors visa, don't know how to proceed from there.

Thank you

1. You can do your medicals. A "lead apron" will be given to you for x-rays.

2. By the time you give birth and add your baby to your application, if your application is yet to be approved, you might be asked for an updated POF to cover the new addition to your family. So always best to have a POF that will cover the baby upfront.

dedalove:
Hello house, please can a pregnant lady pass Medicals and do you have to provide a POF that will cover the unborn baby as part of the family? Please I really need some clarification.

Kindly share the link.

Daratun:
It is clearly stated on IRCC's website that optometry is a professional degree and WES or whichever body you use evaluates it as such. Don't let bad belle people discourage you.

Congrats @QUTEE. All the best in the rest of your journey.
