Dude, dude...

To be forewarned...

Don't spend the money.

jjohndoe83:
Are you sure about this. I have not been able to find any official statement on this.

...can't it just be in a form of only a letter signed by the family member, stating that he gave me the money?: it can, that's a gift declaration.

What is this notarization thing? How is the process like?: Get a Notary Public in your state or go to the local high court for an affidavit from a Commissioner of Oaths.

Is it compulsory for a gift deed?: Depends on your risk tolerance. It is an extra backing.

Yes.

SAYOSOLA:
Good morning people, I just saw my IELTS result with 6.5 in writing. My ECA is ready, can I create a profile now, while I remark/rewrite the test and update the profile later with the new result. I am thinking this might help with the tie break rule later. Please advise.

I don't get you.

In your initial post, you wrote: "My ECA report reads: under program description = three years post secondary diploma
Then under comparative levels of achievement in Canada it says: post secondary diploma with a focus is medical laboratory science."

Onebase79:
My worry is that the three years is not stated in the report, and according to the linked you post, *the points for post secondary diploma equivalency is different from three years post secondary diploma.

I'm assuming you used WES.
"What if a candidate is not satisfied with a WES Evaluation Report?
Each WES Evaluation Report contains information that candidates can use to contact WES. We review and provide written responses to all questions from candidates."
https://www.wes.org/partners/faq/

Provide the basis for appeal as you have done here.

If WES doesn't still cooperate, you might need to try an ECA body.

The same process applies if it was another ECA body.

Good day house.. Please I have little concern I would want the experienced ones amongst us to help out with..
My wife ECA just came out and it was stated there that her university(Tansian university) is not recognized by NUC and therefore can't be compared to a Canadian educational credential.
1.Now from the contact we have made to her school, the University is accredited by NUC.
2. Her university is no 54 on NUC accredited private universities.
3. We all know here in Nigeria if your university or course of study is not accredited, you won't be able to go to NYSC.
4. She has her NYSC discharge certificate.
My worries is how did they come to these kind of conclusion ?
What is the best decision to take on such matter?
Please house I need good response.

Rest your mind. You are on track.

3yrs post secondary diploma provides the same number of points as 4yrs Bachelor's: 120 without spouse and 112 with spouse. See here

Hello everyone one, please I need help. My ECA report reads: under program description = three years post secondary diploma

Chief, kindly do as I advised and also add the NOCs you are considering.

Listing it like this alone means:

1. You are looking for someone who is already familiar with this JD and its NOC to provide you with an answer. That can still happen.
2. You are looking someone who is familiar with all NOCs and is willing to set out maximum time to do the search for you. The only person who is like that is Newmum and she's currently finding her feet in Canada. She has also paid her dues (if she was owing any).

What some of us over here can help you do is to help consider your options, fine-tune and make suggestions towards a decision. You need to do your research first. Use this tool: here.

Thanks for reverting back to the house.

manlikegb:
Hello house, so this was the response after tweeting the question at IRCC.

Dude, I'm assuming you are single and less than 30yrs. Relying on two or more certificates might not be enough to cross you over unless you are sure of maxing out your IELTS.

So waiting for the MSc or doing MSc with NOUN might be the better option. Unless you're willing to put on the effort of learning French.

I'm sorry ....

EyesondPrize:
One still has to create a new account on WES Canada and pay the fee.

If you already have a WES USA evaluation for your MSc, you can email them about converting it WES Canada immigration ECA.

Hosannah:
Hello everybody,

I have a question about WES verification, is it possible to use WES USA credentials or must I start WES Canada verfification all over again?

Also if I have two degrees, a Bsc and a masters, do I have to evaluate both the degrees or just the most recent one?

Thanks for your assistance

Congrats to @majesticniyi. Go and excel in your new home!

We are not afraid.

The cold that has been experienced in Canada for weeks is now causing issues in US.

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/30/us/chicago-train-tracks-fire-trnd/index.html

Reminds me of the meme that was posted in the part 1 thread about difference in response to cold between US and Canada. Searched but couldn't find it.

Blackbuddy:
To be honest, it can be cold here. Really cold.

But don't let it discourage you from pursuing your Permanent Resident dream. After the winter ends, you get to enjoy a country where there's respect, community, support and opportunity. See you soon

List your JD and possible NOCs you are considering.

JERRYMAG4:
Good day house,

I need your help again.
As a dependant (spouse), I am finding it difficult to attach appropriate NOC to my current role. REVENUE ASSURANCE ANALYST in the banking sector. Anybody with an idea how to get the accurate NOC, pls help.

Thanks

Evalaute only your MSc. Declare both the Msc and the evaluation report in your EE profile.
Don't evaluate your BSc. Declare the BSc in your EE profile.

dotman4goo:
Am planning to do my evaluation with WES and am confused weather I need to declare my BSc since I have already completed my MSc, the reason is because I watched a video online that states that MSc holders should declare BSc certificate and I read somewhere else that you only declare your highest certificate. Please help

Cool.

Good morning,

I'm new to this thread. I can see a lot of abbreviation I am not familiar with.

I wrote the IELTS exam Nov 2 2017, but have not done anything since then. The discourgement has been the proof of funds. I'm ready to take a bold step this year but still not sure of the process, can anyone be helpful to explain the procedure.

I had 7.5 in speaking, 7.0 in listening, 6.5 in reading and 7.5 in writing in IELTS
I'm a mechanical engineer (BEng)
I've a professional certificate both NSE and COREN
I've 5year working experience in both Web Development and Engineering together
I will be 31 this year
I'm single
Funds not looking too good
I'm looking at Alberta, Ontario or Saskatchewan, but can be flexible

Want to know if I'm qualified, and the procedure to take.

Provide your details and someone might hep out.

ceeceedfg:
good day all .. before I entered the EE pool I used the CIC pool calculator and I got 438 but when I finally entered the pool I got a total score of 432....I don't know if I did something wrong or it's a natural occurrence

My friend, your friend might need a divorce lawyer o. It is Nigerian divorce law she will be using. 1-yr separation is not sufficient grounds.

dasizzling:
Not yet, as the separation is barely 3months and not upto a year which is required before you can start a divorce process.

Read up on the past few pages of the thread or use the search bar.

leeray30:
Thanks alot for your prompt response.

Ade1toonna:
Good day
Am A mother and a married woman Pls i do I migrate to Canada with my family and please what would it cost me

Land with both passports.

leeray30:
Hello All,

Please I renewed my passport after I received copr because the validity will be less than 6months at the time of travel.

Have I done something wrong?

Please Help!!

if you are the PA, you can enter the pool now with your spouse as accompanying. You say "Yes" to his education but "No" to ECA. When you get his ECA, you will change the "No" to "Yes".

jerryval42:
good evening my people,
please my ECA is ready but my husbands own is not... can I enter the pool as un-accompanying spouse then add him when his ECA is ready or I just wait for him. please somebody help me.

Congrats to all ITA recipients today. God's grace to you as you gather the necessary documents and submit your application.

"....You may be able to count money in an account under their name only, but you must prove you have access to the money.". https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

A letter from you added to the application indicating that she has access to the funds in the account will suffice.

JERRYMAG4:
Good Day House,

I am currently collating and uploading my documents. My spouse is the primary applicant. Part of the POF, i am planning to send some funds from my personal savings as a gift to support the application. I am obviously a dependant, do i need to do a deed of gift to support this fund or we should just clearly state it in the LOE? Your advise will be highly appreciated.

I think the affidavit is also good.

dasizzling:
Ok Thanks, thought so also, and also probably add a notarised affidavit of separation. Just wanted to get other view and be sure I gave the right advice.

1. pls how is the Tech scene in Canada?: The question is too general.
2. Do you think it will improve?: How do you mean?
3. ...will I still to write some forms of exams?: What kind of exams are you referring to?

olioxx:
To those that have landed, pls how is the Tech scene in Canada?
Do you think it will improve?
If fortunately I land a job in Canada before arrival, will I still to write some forms of exams?

She should provide a well detailed LOE explaining the circumstances and attach.

dasizzling:
thanks for this. please my cousin also has a similar situation. When she created her account and got ITA she applied as spouse accompanying, but now herself and spouse are separated, and he has refused to do medicals and PCC. She cant change her marital status to legally separated again cause its post-ITA what do you think she can do? Does she have to leave the spouse history placeholder empty now? Thnaks in advance for your response.

Hi @Boss13, actually landing gist qualify as experience and is acceptable. Information about immigration does not and can be referred to appropriate threads.

See relevant part of the opening post of thread II: "It is an avenue for people that have immigrated to Canada (with their families) to share their experiences to help future hopefuls." See here.

For the relevant part of the opening post of original thread: "Kindly share your personal experiences and comments on:

* When you landed at the airport?
* What are the immigration rules to follow?
* How do you carry all that cash with you? For example: a family of 5 will need $25,923. .......". See here

Discussing about landing has been part of the thread since page 1 of the thread by @maternal who landed a long time ago. Fleshing up the experiences with flight details continued from page 12 by @vcole.

The mode of delivery of the experience by individuals whether straight talk, with humor or pictures should be left to the discretion of the poster. The landing gist provide an important function of providing information, resetting expectations and providing hope to those fo us yet to land.

Bear with us.

Boss13:
In Earnest, I think this thread was open to share experiences and helpful notes whilst living in canada. In my opinion, I think sharing landing gist here is inappropriate. There are specific threads for that purpose.

For any avoidance of doubt, the thread is living in canada or life as a Canadian immigrant. It’s not landing in canada or requesting information on how to land, apply for Canadian immigration or concerns related to immigration process.

There are many relevant topics to discuss. Please let’s observe proper etiquette
