Congrats.

Dealkid:
My dear people, please join me and thank God o as IELTS has finally freed me after several attempts. I know it's not PPR but it sure feels like it honestly hence the need to praise God. Still can't believe I don't have to take it again. Like it's done n dusted.

Check page 1 for how to calculate your eligibility. You must score minimum 67 factor points.

When you are also opening your profile, use more than the minimum POF.

55emem55:
Yes, ECA in the bag.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Modified:
I just got an ineligible message.
Why?
My ielts is LRWS 7.5, 6.5, 7.5, 7.5
POF 12,800
Work experience 3yrs, and 45hrs/week.

Congrats @DadR. May the rest of your journey be smooth.

Eeyah. .

Unless age us not on your side, I think you should rewrite IELTS. You need to prepare well before you book for another.

Hello Guys

Been reading for so long.

Just saw my IELTS first attempt. Result was bad. 7.5,6.5,6.5,6 . After inputting my data in the crs calculator, i got an ineligible message.

Now my moms cousin who is a citizen advised i can use her to claim family points as my aunty. Immediately i put that i was eligible because of the family tie. My CRS then boosted to 395, which is till very low from the trend.

Now my question is do i rewrite IELTS or go ahead and pray for a PNP nomination. ALso those who were PNP nominated how did you go about it because i see people writing this Exam so many times and it seems a stumbling block. Thou i would rewrite much later, what are my best chances. Please i would appreciate an experienced person to advice. Thanks

@Bukzie...

What a ride..

God will grant you favor in your new home.

You are on track as long as they are all in the past 10yrs.

soulhighman:
Good day everyone. I have been away for a while but I plan to submit my eApr between today and tomorrow so please I would like the seniors to help out with this question just to be sure that I'm doing the right thing.

In personal history, I included all the clubs/societies I did as an undergraduate and Corp member. This includes CDS and departmental association.

Wawu. That's pretty rough.

Keep the faith.

Which resources are you using for writing?

teeielts360:
Sup guys,
I'm back again and IELTS has done it again.
I just checked my result online and here we go again:

FEB 14TH 2019: LRWS- 8.5, 8.0, 6.5, 8.0 (BC)

This would be the 5th test.

Right now i feel no heart beating, I just need to keep kicking.

From your mouths to God's ears.

Topsmamen:
Plenty congrats selfless Toju.ed. Had no idea you were a June AOR. Really, what's so special about this Cannyland sef? Just pity them and relocate there. They need people like you . Cheers to a fruitful future in the abroad of Canada.

@joo2018 and @Ifeom.a77: You guys are next.

drcynthia:
Congratulations......... ......so happy for you.....

@joo2018 and @Ifeo ma77 I can smell ur PPR.....congrats also in advance....

@Tojued!!!!!!!!!!! Felicitations.

May your new home yield its increase to you and your family. You are the best.

Lol. You ehn.

ontarioissauga:
Haha.. Is it your ITA? There is a reason why IRCC allows ITA waste.

'Amaka' really do you something bad.

If you decline the ITA, I think you should wait till like a week or so before your 60days expires before you do so.

1. To give you more time to raise the funds.
2. To avoid ITA churning. If you decline now, you will enter the pool again, get ITA next draw and start stressing about the POF again. That ITA can help someone else. Let's have mercy on all the 'Amaka' praying for points to drop.

All the best.

johnnybravo1990:

@Jennypharb1: you are so on point.

Stellamaris81:
Hello gurus in the house- please I have a question and would be grateful if anyone can help me to answer it.

So my brother submitted his express entry application in July 2018 and he received a letter today asking to provide pay slips from employer and bank statements showing salary deposits from employer."

He worked at the said employers place for two years and was only paid 2ce via the bank. every other payment was in cash. They also never gave him any payslips during the time he worked there. please can anyone advise what documents he can submit to CIC that will prove to them that he worked there and was paid or what he can request from his now former employer . CIC says we have 30 days to reply.

Please gurus in the house ANY response will be appreciated, please

An article on the need for a National Employment Policy for immigrants.

I think you need to use the webform.

MysTeerioz:
Please how can I reach CIO, Sydney on mail? Does anyone have their e-mail address?

1. If you have not seen the link to upload documents at all, it means you have not finished filling your application. Review it again.

2. If you saw it once and it disappeared, follow @Topmamen's advice to clean your browser's cache, close the browser and restart the system.

3. If all the above fails, use the webform to raise a "Technical difficulty" CSE.

Palominopeaches:
yeah i have. just trying to upload my documents

Eyes for details, boss, eyes for details.

Check for "estimated cost" on this post on page 1: https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled#75866895

mactoni91:
Not there

No.

But your NOC must be on the list. However, you still need degree(s) to get good points.

Jennypharb1:
What about the federal skilled trades program? I haven't heard much about it here. Is a degree required?

Check page 1.

mactoni91:
Please what the average cost of everything excluding airfare?
The way Nigeria is going now, i intend leaving.

Don't give up: @Mamsvee

You are good to go: @MoneYibo

Congrats on ECA: @Chicagomum

May this week be a great week for all of us.

You will be sent medical request once your application is close to approval.

Opymistic:
@Joo 2018

Its paper based and I have submitted, received AOR, asked to done biometrics and it's done. However, have linked my paper based application to online.
Thanks

The Chronicles of @Topmamen and @Ifeoma77.

I'm watching you in 11-D . If @Guitarlife catches you ehn.

Is it paper-based? Because I think under PNP Express Entry you will submit an upfront medical (not too sure).

Opymistic:
@Joo 2018,

What I applied for was PNP and have gotten my nomination, AOR and Biometrics done as well. So what am waiting for is Medical request which could take a while like I heard but if I could turn it in without them requesting that it would be faster.

I read it with interest.

On IRCC process, we are all blind leading the blind.

But I find it interesting that the Indians who were saying IP1 and IP2 does not matter again when the background check updates scrambled for us last year are now trying to find an explanation now they are under the biometrics regime.

Topsmamen:
This should be helpful to post-AOR folks.....

IRCC has introduced a number of changes in recent months and it is time to update our understanding of the post-AOR stages. This is simply built on the amazing work of an individual who developed an explanation of the various stages we can use - informally - to track the progress of our application. Other expert individuals have posited the underlying trends and found evidence for them. In short, the traditional transition from IP1 to IP2 to ghost update to PPR still holds but in a modified way due to these changes.

@Gloshare, you need to do a lot of writing practice before the next exam.

@Yuyukoko, have hope, Accra is on fire.

Congrats on your PPR @tolulopearl, @WhiteUlquiorra. Go and excel.

He can state the reason na, that he couldn't get the official letter from the company.

I'm not even sure everybody who used notarized reference letter added an LOE. Try to put yourself in the case officer's shoes. If you feel something can bring an issue, address it.

Doctorfitz:
Pls should he state in his LOE that he was declined the letter head?

So she can do the biometrics immediately. That will be the best case scenario.

cc: @mikel88

Ifeoma77:
If you submitted on 1st February, you are likely going to get the BIL next week.

I don't think it is a cause for alarm. The notarized reference letter + ID card provides a point of contact.

And since it is Medicine evaluated by MCC, there should be no issue about whether he can practice or not. What he needs is proof that he worked in that NOC and was paid.

Doctorfitz:
OK thanks boss, according to him d acceptance letter carries the company's letter head hence his dilemma

If adding the acceptance letter will provide peace of mind, he should add it.

If the supervisor is not authorized to use the company's letterhead, he should use a plain paper.

Doctorfitz:
Hello house, a quick question for a friend who is also on this journey. ..

His previous employer (company) during his NYSC declined giving him a reference letter in Cic format. So he intends getting it from his direct supervisor and have it notarised. He also intends adding the supervisor's iID card and a letter of explanation ..... His question is would these suffice or can he add his acceptance letter?
No payslips cos he was paid in cash.... ..

Ur responses would be appreciated.

I think 2233 is good and the JD is OK as it is.
Technical support - check
Production - check
Quality - check
Safety - check

Haysamo:
I'm considering 2233. There is possibility of getting another reference letter, should in case I need to do some 'editing' to perfectly match NOC 2233. I will be glad if you can help review the JD to align with the NOC

Congratulations on the SOWP.

Interesting scenario.

No, you can't yet do you your biometrics in Canada.

Inland EE applicants are still exempt from biometrics as facilities are not yet available. If you had known, you could have landed before applying (check here and click 'exemptions').

Anyway, immediately you land, you should change your address. If you still get the biometrics requests, you should immediately call and find out if it can be waived, you can be allowed to take it at an inland refugee POE or you will need to travel out to do it.

If you have to travel, you can do it any other place in the world including the US.

mikel88:
Good evening good people.. i will be leaving naija for Canada in 2weeks time my SOWP was approved after 9months of processing and I have already applied for our PR on 1st February but I yet to get update for Biometric. Please I want to know if it possible to do my Biometric in Canada in case I didn’t any update before leaving? Because i don’t understand how it works and can’t come back and biometric here o jesu o ni je.
