I wanted to say BULL... but I take it back, this is a peaceful thread and we don't want controversy. I respect your opinion sincerely but @bolded 1, if this was the attitude those answering questions, sharing their experiences in-depth, assisting with IELTS/NOC etc, have had, I do not think this thread will exist and thrive as it has. If we tell everyone here "google is your friend", I do not think you would be here, there is something more you seek (of course besides the fact that nairaland thread is on google). No one here asking for more depth to PPR stories feel entitled to anything. Active members are all making the same efforts as silent readers. PPR scripts does not feed us, put money in our pockets, give us more opportunities etc. In fact, we can do without the scripts. If it is about timelines, we can as well just stick to following immitracker (not forgetting the fact that people who share their procedural timelines on immitracker do it voluntarily, they do not owe us anything, yet they do it and it benefits us all). Now do you know how many PPR stories on this thread have become reference points for future applications? Do you know how many follow-up questions and answers have emanated from PPR stories, assisting even non-followers of this thread? Do you know how many indepth PPR stories have helped confused applicants pre and post-AOR? For many questions regarding grey areas which are not specifically answered by IRCC, do you realise that some of the responses we give are just smart guesses and are based on indepth PPR stories which are a positive and successful validation of the process, documents, choices etc we make during EE application? And yes, there are other sources of information but I can tell you having researched EE from different sources, that with the exception of CIC website in terms of authoritativeness, this thread provides one of the most diverse, indepth and accurate information on EE than any other source (part 1-7). And indepth PPR scripts contribute to that information. Infact one of the most unique benefits of this thread that you would not find on any other platform, is not the hard information, it is the feelings, struggles, fears, determination and victories of successful applicants like you and me which serve as inspiration and motivation and nothing captures this better than indepth PPR scripts. If indeed you want to show gratitude, help, motivate, inspire, encourage and uplift others after you, it is your public service responsibility to this thread to share your PPR story indepth. No one is forcing you, it's your choice as Ifeoma said. But if your heart moves you to share, please kindly do it indepth. Suspectzero: All these people whining about PPR script, just deal with it. They don't owe you anything. The way you complain is even quite off putting. You can't brow beat people into doing anything for you online. People are more likely to not post anything at all if this is the kind of response they get.
There are far more avenues for getting information about express entry than via nairaland. I think the real lazy ones are the ones who want to just sit here and get all their information from just one source. Google is your friend. |

@Eshay bouqounmie: Hi, I also had an employment history where i was paid in cash/cheque but no payslips were issued. It was already indicated in my reference letter that i was paid in cash. So when i got the famous 5, i simply wrote a letter of explanation that i was paid in cash and no payslips issued (though i printed bank statements and highlighted some of the cheque deposits, just about 4 months out of 15months experience).

Congratulations!!! Finally you can breathe!!! All the best to you as you continue life in Canada on your new status.
Thank you for your script, at least inland applicants can benefit from your experience. I add 1.2 bonus marks to your for sharing despite your AVO saga You score 8.2/10
We wish you a happy reunion with your family.Belemz: Full PPR gist Long gist alert from a silent reader. So it all started in 2017 when i got married. I did my masters in Canada finished in May 2017 and i went ahead to seek immigration advice(we have free immigration consultation for students) as to how to bring my husband( then fiancee) over here. Anyways, they recommended that he should come for my grad with visiting visa and afterwards we file for post grad work permit together inland. My dear it didn’t work o! Thats how they refused him visa but not only that, the gave him 5 year ban for misrepresentation. Imagine how devastated we were, we had to get a lawyer involved which means a lot of monies were spent. It was a tough time for us (bare in mind that this ban wasn’t his fault, it was because they said he had been to US and he didn’t declare it Meanwhile, my husband has never been to US even up until now.) to cut the long story short we won the case and they asked him to submit updated information regarding the visitors visa for free and removed the ban but at that point we decided to do Express entry so we told them my grad was already over and we were not interested. So from Jan 2018 we gathered money and saved up to apply in August 2018. At this point we were still doing long distance marriage and trust me this process lead to a lot of issues  |

No one here can guarantee you anything regarding job prospects in Canada in whatever field you desire to specialise in. There are jobs in Canada but when and which one you would get is unknown until you get it. This journey is uncertain. We are all hoping for the best, just like you are. What I would advice is, google the jobs you want to do in Canada, look at the requirements and skillset demanded, then start learning it now (this is best post-AOR period). If you have not entered the pool, do the basics first. Be assured that what you studied in Nigeria is not a death sentence, you can always switch when you get there. Read more on the living in Canada thread figo77: Just like I wasted that 5 years. I thought I'll be taught practicals, even not much but at least, handle something but no, theory upon theory. It was during my IT I was actually seeing how some electrical components work. All I do in the uni is just to read and pass.. I don't understand most of them. The only thing I know I got right and I truly understand was engineering mathematics, other courses? So much imagination in mind.. Nothing to explain it.
That's why I came to ask for opinions here.. I don't want to learn networking and find out later that it doesn't have reasonable income in Canada, I don't want to learn how to drive fork lift and find out later that there are few industries that uses them, I don't want to learn plumbing and notice that Canadian government has provided provision for her people |

On ADR request, if you can provide payslips, then you must provide LOE to explain why you can't. nelronaldo: Big congratulations to you.
Please what is this famous five ADR? I know pay slips, bank statement and background information are part of the famous ADR.
In addition, peradventure one is asked to submit the famous 5 ADR and cannot get pay slips for any of the places he worked but just bank statement for the period the salary was deposited into his account and just salary certificate for the period he was paid cash. Would this suffice? |

 Thank you for elaborating further. This is better, it's 7 lines longer  Let's not stress you. Congratulations on your PPR again and all the best for you and your family in your new country. jneo: Ok let me try to do a better job. We started this process In February of 2017. We requested WES evaluation after obtaining our transcripts. Wify was the primary applicant. During our time, we didn’t have to do evaluation for WAEC. I think the WES report came around May or June. We wrote IELTS in April and passed at the first attempt. Then we calculated our score, it was around 407. Hmmm, we knew we had to add something to get a higher score. Fortunately for us, wify was in her final year with university of Roehampton online MBA program. So we waited till July of 2018 when she completed the program , then we added her masters and scored 443. That was in August 2018. We entered the pool and by September we got ITA. For the medical, I walked into IOM at ikeja GRA and got an appointment for October 24th I think. We submitted our application on November 2nd, did biometrics in the first week of December and then got PPR April 2019. I think this is better � |

True. I think the problem is when there is a disparity between the JD in the ref letter and the NOC Topsmamen: Doubtful. I don’t think some NOCs are more scrutinized than others. |

Prof has spoken. Dear fellow compatriots, Page 1 and google is your friend Meanwhile, prof let's make a deal. I will mark @topsmamen script no matter whose week it is. He has a special package as an elevated senior  Thanks for agreeing raphrulz: It really hasn't been easy catching up with over 20 pages though... however, i'm barely seeing unique or new issues.
It's so alarming to see people ask the same questions over and over again. These questions have either been answered some few pages behind or linked on Page 1.
It's so frightening because, these same people want to go to a developed nation that emphasizes so much on the Do-it-yourself (DIY) way... See, u cannot become grounded in something that you don't personally research yourself. If you keep waiting for people to tell you about this process every time, then it's not cool.
U sef think am naa, the people wey you dey ask, how them take sabi the process? If they didn't research, would you have had anyone to ask. I am not saying that people shouldn't confirm in areas requiring clarification, but i believe that going the extra mile to do some additional research yourself before attempting to ask may be all you need to get your solutions.
I also would advice the "Seniors"... pls redirect people to Page 1... stop answering a particular question repeatedly. What then is the essence of doing all that hard work on Page 1 if we repeatedly answer these same questions on the thread. U can reference the page when responding or post the link for the person to see him/herself, but answering all the time?? Nah, u are not doing the person any good.

In case your HR/Company is inflexible in rewording the JD, attach an LOE to explain the connection between the NOC and your JD. As newmum said, it doesn't exactly stick out. Going by the rejections, one has to be proactive. That's my NOC too btw  curious123: Yeah, I get you. Will do just that. Thank you so much for your help |

SOME THINGS TO NOTE FOR FUTURE "AVORIANS"
1. AVO is not the VO for "crooked" applications like people think. so if you ever find yourself there, don't over-think it, they just like to work at their own pace. 2. Support groups are great, try to join at least one of these groups. If it becomes too much (sometimes it can be), remove yourself from the group(s) and go back after taking some fresh air. 3. A good idea is to do a certification while waiting (might not be that easy as the wait can be daunting, but just try). 4. Try not to put yourself under pressure by putting a timeline to the whole thing (PPR, departure). Trust me, AVO has a mind of their own. 5. Don't try to analyse "AVO trends" or what you think is trend, there's no one size fits all with AVO. 6. Finally, pray while waiting. This is the most important point. |

I read about this in part 5 or 6 (can't find the link now). Post-AOR folks are no longer qualified for Planning for Canada services. You need to have PPR or Copr to proceed. I recall some post-AOR peeps at that time reporting this same issue and they were replied to wait until PPR before contacting them. pejuhazel: Good morning everyone, please I need information from people who are receiving or have received pre-arrival services. So I signed up for planning for Canada with my biometric letter, after my MAP session I was referred to ACCESS employment and they requested for Copy of Permanent Resident card,Copy of Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Copy of Permanent Resident visa, or A passport request letter that indicates Permanent Resident visa issuance, or A Permanent Resident Visa pick up notification letter. None of which I have as my application is still in progress, I told them and my pre-arrival services have been suspended until I get any of the above mentioned. My question is how were you guys able to proceed with their services before getting your PPR. cc. @Ifeoma77, @joo2018 any one else who can help |

Yo!!! CRS score be like "Hey CIC, whattagwan? Me dey hia waiting fi yuh rastaman" Congrats bro. You had insight. Get ready for your May 1 ITA (or next week, if surprise draw just happen) Headnotthetail: This is for those within the range of 440-449.
With an IELTS score of L8.5 W7 R7 S8 and 15 points from my brother in Canada, my CRS score stood at 448. I was hoping that minimum score would drop as low as 448. But after a couple of draws, i opined that it all seem like 450+ is the famous number for now. When the April 3, 2019 draw was done (451), i immediately concluded that my wife should sit for IELTS....though i never wanted to stress her...even the 68k was another factor. I registered for her MOD April 6 test (JUST 2 DAYS TO PREPARE). With just a couple of youtube videos, she did her best in preparing for the more or less impromptu test. She did the test. My expectation was very low but Just to push the score to 450+.
The result was released earlier today and she scored L6.5 W7 S7.5 R7.5. I was stunned because of the circumstance that surrounded the decision to sit for the test.
Now the crs score has increased from 448 to 466. ITA imminent God willing.
Point: 1. Weigh all the options available for you to boost your crs and take action. 2. Grace works! The race is not to the swift. |
