Congrats bro! Don't worry, job and wife plenty for you to choose from. Waiting for your landing gist in the sister thread.

Osaze007:
I just want to thank God for journey mercies cause I could have been Landing in Lagos today But God said no Toronto

I believe you should be ok.
The other info I found is this: "Processing offices must compare the information in the applicant’s profile at the time of the round of invitations to the information in their e-APR to ensure that the applicant meets the requirements of section A11.2. Note that not all discrepancies should result in a refusal."........"If an applicant’s situation changes in the time between when they receive an ITA and when they submit their e-APR to such a degree that their qualifications fall below the MEC, the application must be refused under section A11.2."

But that is not your situation. However, for peace of mind and since you are sure your CRS score does not drop, you may raise a CSE.

Chicituababe:
CRS score will remain the same with new IELTS result.

Candidate's EE profile is locked at ITA. You have already gotten the ITA na.
Read through here to the section "where candidate's circumstances change".

Will the new Ielts raise or lower your CRS score?

Chicituababe:
Hello peeps.
Please will having an accompanying spouse's IELTS result expire after AOR raise an issue for the application? If there is a new IELTS result with 7,6,7,7.5 in LRWS, will it be better to raise a CSE for it and upload the new result? does it matter if it is raised a day to expiration? Or there is no need to bother uploading d new ielts since application has already been received and locked into IRCC?

Hi. Hope you have gotten access to your account. If so, how did you do it?

Yenyen18:
hello everyone.please if u have gotten an ITA. Do u wait to be sent instructions on when and where to do your medicals or you pick a panel physician and just make your appointment?

Good luck. Try to ensure that the JD of your reference letter is similar but not identical to that of the NOC.

Namae:
I will go with 1313.
Thank s a lot.

6231 is B and eligible. Check 1312, 1313 and 1314 too. 0121 will be OK if you can prove you manage a department. Read through and compare with what you do.

Namae:
but that NOC is ineligible for Express Entry.

Kindly use the link provided by @mummychichi above. If you then have challenge(s), you can come back with the specific issue(s).

Namae:
Hello team.
I am an avid follower of this thread but I need clarification.

I am next in line

Congrats!

anaxagoras:
Still can't beleive it. It's PPR Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Verify only your MBA.

Biakwa:
Still expect response to my query house

Leave the village people alone o. They have their own problems.
Yes, you can split your NOC into 2. If you can get a good reference letter for the period you worked in the NOC B, you can claim the points.
As to which NOC to choose, sorry but not that familiar with banking NOCs.

ijomaSN:
Should I split my job description
For the 6 years I have worked as CsO/Ft into 1114
And the 2 years I worked in cash and teller as 6552?
So that it doesn't seem all weird.

I don't believe a new profile will spell trouble.
On the second question, I'm not sure.

ijomaSN:
Thanks a lot.
Please will creating a new profile spell trouble.
And do I say I have applied for express entry before if I do create one?

Stay cool. Please relax.
You already have one idea to check out (funds transfer). You will get more when others weigh in.
It will turn out OK.
cc: veritas3 Which NOC is Funds transfer by the way? I can't trace it.

ijomaSN:
31

First of all relax. It will turn out OK.
You can create a new profile.
Sleep well.
Tomorrow post your job description line by line. I'm sure people will be able to help out.

ijomaSN:
My ECA is ready
And my IELTS score is 8.

What could possibly be wrong?
Sad thing is...I can't edit my profile

I am losing my mind right now
What do I do?

My spouse has no ECA or language test, but has very good work history, besides I am the principal applicant.

Advise me please

My 2cents too.

Hephgirl:
top it up and relax na...
Don't over think it... Relax

No PNP that I know of is looking for bankers.
Search the NOC site for any job under 0, A or B that matches your job description.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html
Or if you are comfortable, you can post your job description here for people to help out.

ijomaSN:
I am a banker.
What NOC do I use then?
And can I go for provincial nomination or do I just fill out a new profile?

NOC 6552 is under class C and is not eligible for FSW. Only skills levels 0, A and B are eligible.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html

ijomaSN:
Please after trying out the eligibility questionnaire, I was found eligible for express entry so I created my profile
and I just submitted it today.

But upon submitting.

I can't even edit my profile.

Top up your account and chill.

JonJon2017:
Thank you . But do you think its okay if I top up d account and resend the reference letter thru the webform?

This thread na something else nowadays.

Please I’ll be asking a lot of questions. Make una no chase me go page 0 o. Na beg I dey beg.

Brotherly, we de behind you.

Osaze007:
Wow so less than 24hrs

Yeah! Please Trudeau don't call elections this year, wait till next year. I'm yet to apply, talk less of getting PPR o!

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-politics/canadas-trudeau-rules-out-early-election-this-fall-idUSKBN1L123I

Lessons learnt from yesterday's thread posts:

1. Keep your POF in your account(s) through PPR and (also from previous discussions) till you land.
2. Do not lose your Gckey. Keep the username, passwords, questions and answers somewhere.

Bros, I feel you. My situation is close to yours.

I decided to go with the spouse un-accompanying route before and was hoping to get my WES ECA next week and enter the pool. Recently decided to encourage my wife on her ielts and work on her ECA. It has to be a family decision.

It is more or less a binary decision.

1. Enter the pool as unaccompanying. (Hopefully) get ITA. Get POF for the whole family, do medicals together and get PCC for both of you. Get PPR, land, meet the pre-conditions, apply for spousal sponsorship, wait for the 12 months processing time, (maybe) travel back and back for the period, get the sponsorship accepted and be re-united.

2. Encourage her on ielts and start the ECA. If her birthday is still later in the year, she could be the PA. Enter the pool.

Pray, discuss with her and may God direct your steps.

BABSFREY:
Dear All,

Thank you for the good work. I have been following this thread with keen interest and it has been helpful to me in my preparations.

I first did the IELTS in 2015. I got a decent overall band level of 8.0, but my listening was only 7.0, with the others as R - 8.5, S - 8.5, W - 7.0

I lost interest after that because my score was around 382. Fast forward and precisely 3 years later, motivated by my spouse, I sat for IELTS again. This time too, my overall band level is 8.0, but with much improved score in listening of 8.5, with the others as R - 9.0, S - 8.0, W - 7.0

Only yesterday, I tried creating an EE profile and realized that my CRS is 440, without my spouse as accompanying dependent. If she is to accompany me, it drops my score far lower, to 416, because she is yet to do the WES and also take the English test.

What do you advise? Should I wait until she does her WES and IELTS?

My thoughts - I do think that since the last draw closed at 440, it is better that I take my chance now, before the CRS inches higher!

I will appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you.

In other news, WAEC don vex. See highlighted below:

https://www.waeconline.org.ng/

Good one, boss.

Went there today for my wife's WAEC results confirmation. Got there by after 2pm, but was not attended to. I did the affidavit though and asked the receptionist a few questions. See her responses below:

Consultation time: 9am - 1pm Mon - Fri
Processing time: 5 - 7 days
Verification by WES: Yes
Time taken to respond to verification: Doesn't know
Zonal or branch WAEC offices confirmation can be done for those outside Lagos: Confirmation of results only done there at the National Office at Jibowo.

NB: You can choose to send by post or courier.
Took a snap of the requirements. See below. Sorry it is a bit blurry. It is the same as listed by @darlingdadon below.

darlingdadon:
Kindly read through for those having worries on how to go about getting their WAEC results Verification as required by WES.

LWKMD!!! tojued, tojued, tojued....

Tojued:
Thank you. I need to start getting used to the fact that laws and rules are things which actually exist.

Wawu. Good luck in your follow up with IRCC.

Yenyen18:

Mummychichi:
Hello joo2018, banks verify statements but don't disclose balance or any other information to third parties except ...

Eeyah.
To clarify, you have created a new gckey and have tried linking the account?

Yenyen18:
Thanks I have tried this but it keeps saying account not found

Issorai...

Adaoh:
Lol I know. I'm asking if anyone has written it and how they did. Basically wondering if anyone has written the CELPIP and IELTS and which is better. (if there's any such person)

Have you done the things in these 2 links?
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=815&top=29
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=850&top=23

Hope it works out for you.

Yenyen18:
Honestly I am confused

You need be in Canada, US, Philippines or UAE to write. https://www.celpip.ca/

Adaoh:
Has anyone ever done the CELPIP english tests instead of the IELTS?
