What did WES write on your ECA report? That will answer your question.

Sype:
Good evening to everyone, my eca report from Wes arrived today, please can this fly as two or more certificates because I was thinking my national diploma should also show in the summary section.... please someone should kindly clarify before someone has hypertension for nothing... it is actually ND and bsc from separate schools, not direct entry....

Sorry to hear about this. But pulling out is a no no!!! Do your ECA and ielts. Keep at it. Do not give up. Pray but give God something to bless. Go for unaccompanying spouse if your scores are high enough (if he still proves stubborn until the end). He will join you later when God redirects him.

Do your best in gathering the POF, talk to everyone you know, and trust God to provide it.

At bolded, oh dear, you will survive and thrive as long as you are determined and work hard. Canada is one of the best places in the world to live as a woman. Your children's future will be more secured in Canada than Nigeria. From my research, there are certain provinces that have post-arrival services and programs directed specifically at women, mothers (newcomers) to aid their integration, Calgary, Alberta for instance. Ontario and BC too. London Ontario has the one of the most concentration of single African mothers who have bought their first homes. I'm sure other provinces too will have their packages catering for mother demographics. Do not fear. Canada is a land of opportunities, if you are determined to work hard, stay focused and manage your expectations.

Also follow this thread regularly to sustain your motivation. Reading the efforts fellow Nigerians are making at the Canadian dream and successful PPR stories will continue to motivate you and keep up your positive energy.

I once saw a quote on a PPR story, it said "when you really want something, the universe moves everything possible in your direction to get it", the law of attraction. You are in my prayers. All the best to you.

Rence22:
My fellow nairalanders. I appreciate your help so far despite the fact that I haven't really gone too far. I am just at the ECA stage and registered for ielts next month. It's with a very great sadness that I might have to pull out of this canny dream. Really sad for me.���� hubby has seriously been reluctant. Says he loves his Naija and God has not instructed him to leave Nigeria and until he receives his heavenly dream from God, he is not going anywhere. He actually said if I want to go badly, I should. But here's the problem, with 3 kids ages 5 3, and 1.5 years old. How do I cope with daycare, job search, mobility, picking up from schools, groceries, and upkeep alone in Canada. To worsen it, he isn't supporting financially. I even offered and begged to have him sit for ielts and his eca with my monthly pay he reluctantly said yes but I thought, one can only force a horse to the river but not to drink. Without his help how will I survive with 3 beautiful kids alone in Canada. He is not even batting an eye concerning the benefits. He's a speedy driver, says cars are meant for speed how will such a person cope with Canadian traffic rules. These and some little others have just weakened me especially my children and the highest I can even leave them is a week. We are that close that they have never gone to bed without my hug and kisses. I dont have any family over there to help with. Good night.

Perhaps @ bolded. It depends on your field. In IT or HR for instance, certain certifications matter for the job market. From my research, Canadian experience trumps certifications, generally. However, some have gotten good jobs without either. Do a job search on the jobsites (indeed, monster etc), are there certain certifications required in addition to your experience? That will guide you.

Is your profession a regulated one? (Law, Medicine, Engineering), if yes, the advice is to wait until you get there and begin your licensing exams and bridging education. If your profession is not regulated, the general advice is to wait until a few months after landing and job search before beginning an intensive edu programme like a MA, MBA, MSc, diploma.

Some professions require a few months of bridging programs (trainings, short courses, co-op) to get a foot in the door in the labour market.

If your guts tell you to register for that certification based on its usefulness in the job market, go for it. But keep an open mind, about 50% of newcomers switch their careers for different reasons on landing (choice, inability to get jobs in their field, more lucrative position, what's in-demand in certain provinces etc).

I must commend your futuristic approach to your settlement in Canada smiley

Jenolyfavour:
Please house, I understood also that when you reach Canada, having a Canadian certificate helps you for job search. So my question is what if one gets an online Canadian Certificate. If yes that means one can get it even before landing in Canada?

I have decided not to grade your script because it is a novel one. As a veteran on this thread since part 3, you deserve this badge of patience.

You would need your first university degree, then depending on your CRS score, you would decide if you need another certification to get points for two or more certificates. I am not sure if a degree in Optometry is evaluated as a professional degree in which case your points would be higher. Perhaps those in the medical field can answer this better. What is your estimated CRS score based on your simulation? That would also determine if your 2-year work experience is sufficient to give you adequate points.

First. Do not worry. Worrying will worsen your BP. Calm down. Breath in, then out, then say, "God's got me, CIC got nothing on me, my PPR is on its way."

The threshold for BP for CIC is usually 140/90 (from Canadavisa). So yours is not so high above the threshold, perhaps that is why further tests are not recommended yet. (This is an intelligent guess, I am not a medic)

If CIC reviews the result and feel you should go for more tests (IF), they will notify you. People have been notified, done tests, got MEP and PPR. To reassure you, high BP is not contagious and I have never come across any rejection case strictly on the basis of high BP.

My advice would be to calm down, breathe, take your drugs, do what you can to reduce it and worry less about what you have no control over.

I am a silent reader and worried about something.

I went for my medicals last week Wednesday but by BP was 140/80. I told the doctor that I was hypertensive and then requested to know the medication I am presently taking. However, I was not requested to do a Serum Creatinine test or an ECG and that is the basis of my worry. I did a little research and discovered that majority of candidates with high BPs were asked to do serum cratenine tests.

Please advise.

@bolded is not a problem. You do not have to work in the field you studied to be eligible.

With the high CRS score of 450+ these days, you need to get another certificate/means to boost your score. See page 1 on this under FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS https://www.nairaland.com/5187408/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled#78386492 and here https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/246#77138681

Self employed people have gotten PPR, look at the documents this successful applicant submitted here https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/work-experience-education-major-different.412867/

Also look at @Topsmamen response on the self-employed application here https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/256#77228254

I have not read any PPR story here that started with spouse unaccompanying, then changed to accompanying post-AOR. But this is possible. When you change it, your scores would be recalculated (and it must be above the CRS score draw that got you the ITA), you still have to show POF for two and he has to do medicals.

I saw one successful case on Canadavisa too. See here

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/plz-help-ee-change-spouse-from-non-accompanying-to-accompanying-after-ppr.563688/

According to CIC/IRCC, if your scores is recalculated after you change to accompanying spouse and your score drops lower than the CRS score which got you the ITA, you would be rejected and you lose your money, no refund. See their tweet here
