Read page 120 of this thread, that was how me and this amazing dude started o. Who would have thought. Actually that was my ielts writing debut album on this thread  Reviewed two more task 2 scripts and by the last script, I knew the examiner go hear am  And with @wassynewest class, it must have been a badass combination. @Johnnybravo must have given him some strong magic powder too  Anyways, he has been practicing thoroughly for quite a while, and he didn't take the exam for granted!!! He had the success air in him already, we just inflated it with air pump  Tips: Send your writing drafts early on to a good reviewer to look through it. A second eye is always good. Practice thoroughly for a while before you attempt the exam (give yourself a month at least) Do not take the exam for granted, please be humble. The exam is tricky. If you choose to send your draft to me, give me a week or few days at least before I can feed back, (because of work and other projects, I need time for thorough feedback) If you do not have time to send me or anyone your draft (perhaps because of work or a very busy schedule), watch Jay's writing videos, his tips on structure, vocabulary and coherence are amazing. I used his videos for mine, and I am guided by his instructions when I review drafts. I heard Liz videos are also good but I did not use her While focusing on writing, ensure you focus on other modules too so you can max them out to improve your scores. All the best to you as you write. You will conquer it. lambsbread: ladymarshall, Wassey and Johnnybravo1990. Abeg, make una come do for me wetin una do for this guy. I need to smash my IELTS too . Any whatsapp group? Please add me. |

I think you should move it to personal history. Work history and educational history are for work experience and qualifications you used to get your CRS score. So only your masters would be in your educational history, but your ongoing doctorate would be in personal history. Teamo2: Thanks, just added it.
CRS score remains the same. It was not computed in my score. |

Bank statements for the period you worked and are claiming points for. If it is the same bank statement as in your savings you are using for POF, you should provide the last 6 months before your application submission Mercy0419: Thank you Topsmamen. This is my fear oh...do I just print out the last six months of 2017 from online banking(from online banking it is saying I can only get statement from January 1 2017) or I must call GTBank to send it to the US? Will the bank statement just be for last 6months of 2017 or up till 2019? God help me oh.... |

In addition to @jennypharb1 response, tell your employer to draft a cash salary certificate/ draft one and send to him/her to sign, if you're still unsatisfied, add LOE on this issue to your application. Obehi234: Hello everyone, I am a newbie to this forum. I have a question please.
I am a law graduate currently at Law school.(which began November 2018) I graduated university in 2017 but my school certificate is January 2018. I started work at a Law firm in Feburary 2018- present (while I'm also in Law school atm). The problem i have however, is that i don't have a pay slip or account statements for payments because where I work pays me just stipends in cash.
My question is, how do I present this situation in my application process please? |

Check with British Council Lagos https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/319#77504262v3: Unfortunately, the website I was referred to does not have a branch in Lagos (They are located in Jos), and all their contact numbers on the contact us page don't exist (Called each).
If anyone knows where I can get CITP (Chartered IT Professional) done here in Lagos, please respond to this. Ify just threw me a lifeline and I fully intend to use it. Or if knows a certification in IT I can run and get certified in a matter of weeks (3), let me know.
Thank you.

Honestly! The damage would have already been done to others, before CIC withdraws the pool. Some people are just extremely selfish  captainhoo: Valid point. It will take another 4 ROI ( some people will lose points in these months for birthday) before a fake profile gets withdrawn too if the ITA isn't declined. Hopefully, their conscience makes them stop or they get tired of creating these profiles. |

My sister lives in Canada and had been asking me to either visit or move. The Canadian embassy was doing shakara for me, so I couldn’t be bothered. But in 2016, I was tired of Nigeria, and being a nomad � I decided to attempt moving to Canada. We explored the legal options we had for the US and Canada. The consensus was to pursue the two for our family.
We started the process for Canada first, but we weren’t too serious until last year when we literally intensified the application process. |

A Nigerian on Canadavisa asked your exact question. See below https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/fbi-pcc.513752/page-2BootyliciousHon: Done that already. The link took me to where I had already read before on the CICs website. And yes i have used the search bar...which showed me the detailed post of the whole ppr process. (Except my eyes weren't seeing well) . All am asking is if theres been anyone who has done it. I want to know how the person went about fingerprinting from Nigeria. That's all am asking for...first hand experience if any. If there isnt I will find a way around it and update it here.

Decision to travel: Second half of 2017 (but still was not 100% decided)
Final decision to travel: May 2018
IELTS: April 21, 2018
Conclusion: No two applications are the same. Make your application as detailed as you can bearing in mind the peculiarity of your case. Knowing what I know now, I would package my application differently if I were to do it over as there were a number of things I felt I did not really do right. However, rather than have sleepless nights and raise unnecessary CSEs, I handed it all to God and he came through for me.
Benediction: My prayer for everyone reading this is that no matter what stage you are in on this journey, the eternal one would do for you what he has done for me at the perfect time. God bless us all. Ire akari o. We shall all meet in our new home, Canada. |

Thank you for your script. Total score: 7.5

We wrote IELTS 9 times (mine 8 and hubby 1)
I passed IELTS at the 5th attempt with LRSW - 9777
Unfortunately, this placed us at 439 and went for two more with 0.5 deficiencies in writing.
I then took the last test on 1st December 2018 and had LRSW - 8.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5. This breakthrough in writing came when Dr Benson offered to teach and review my write-ups. Our CRS score then moved to 445
I never got tired of writing the exam as it was the only mountain before me that needs to be leveled for us to have ITA.
Thank you so much Doc Benson for bringing the breakthrough in my writing.
To as many as are looking unto God for PPR, the Lord will grant it. |

BEFORE 2018 - BACKGROUND I was your average, not-very-passionate, but quietly loyal Nigerian. All I wanted to do was make it here and go for holidays abroad. As my friends were jetting out one by one, I watched with a weird mixture of envy and disdain.
Thanks to all of you in the thread for keeping me sane. Answering your questions does me a world of good. It satisfies my need to poke my nose into other people's business, spend hours searching for information online and render (un)solicited advice.Thanks to @Tojued and @Ifeoma77 for the banter. @dumprep, I miss your posts. Thanks to @raphrulz for reaching out and the friendship. A special thanks to the November AOR whatsapp group @ramj, @jholarharde and all you lovely people whose NL monikers I don't know.
I have a dream that all of our hopes and dreams about Canada will come true.

Let me start by saying I have been on this thread long enough to see same questions and answers repeated a thousand times over. Please my people, especially those just stumbling on the thread, page one (1) is a gold mine of information, reading and researching yourself cannot be over emphasized. Page 1 and most especially the IRCC webpage should be your trusted source of info as NO TWO applications are same. I With other VO you wake up to see the golden mail, but with AVO you spend the whole day checking and waiting for the mail to drop. I was at my mechanic when I checked to see the golden mail staring back at me and as I made calls to my wife and then my mum I became a baby again without a care in the world who was watching……it is/was a good feeling….trust me. |

Gbam!!! End of discussion  @bolded nailed it. C'est fini o Mamaroon: Thank you for your post jare! It breaks up the monotony of our EE questions.
Btw: using migration to fill a working population gap from aging is a well established economic theory. No blame game is necessary but if you insist on one...blame the country that makes it tempting for its talented, educated, middle class youth to leave...don't blame the one that's providing opportunities for them. |

Others have answered you but let me add my 2cents too. I too like this kin discussion  Immigration is not modern day slavery, it is a survival strategy. People have always migrated for better opportunities decades and centuries before us and future generations will continue to migrate. The Irish migrated to the US when their economy were in shambles; the Germans escaped in droves to the US during the second world war, the Chinese, Mexicans, Southern and Eastern Europeans migrated to the US for better economic opportunities during the 19th century. More recently, young and middle aged Greeks migrated to Germany, Belgium and other wealthy countries in Europe when they could not recover from the 2008 economic crisis. Currently, the Romanians, Bulgarians, Syrians, Turks see Germany as their beloved paradise because of the economic shit their home country have become and the oppression Erdogan is giving Turkish journalists and academics. I joined an Italian online group in Canada and you would be surprised how similar their discussions are to our sister thread here, and yes they are also bringing in their own people to Canada. The black Germans run to US and UK after high school due for better jobs and social life. I can go on and on of how people seeking to improve their lot in life through migration to relatively better places. "Who will build this country if you all leave, have you ever thought of that?" What a question? Those that remain will build it, you for example. Some of those countries mentioned above rebuilt their country, while still benefiting from their diaspora populations. We in the diaspora will support them with our money and diverse knowledge. In case you don't know, remittances from the Nigerian diaspora amount to 25 billion dollars annually and contributes to 6.1% of Nigeria's GDP. For some of us on this journey, our minds are prepared, we do not expect Canadians to roll out the red carpet and welcome us with trumpets and basket flowers. Who said it will be easy? Is Nigeria easy? Is anywhere easy? We know it will be hard and there will be discrimination but isn't it the same with Naija. Can a Mr Oduduwa buy land in Ahiazu Village, Imo state? Can a Mr Musa just go to Bayelsa to buy one of the oil wells? Or course, Canadians will trust their own people first. But we will hustle there too as it shall be permanent, what the lord has done for us Mind you, the attitude you discussed among Nigerians is not peculiar to them. Even white people envy themselves. I have lived and worked with them. They are just much more subtle and quiet about their negative energy than we are. Following this, I would like to implore all in this journey to widen their horizon beyond Nigerians and Nigeria when they get to Canada. If Nigerians are keeping information from you, seek it elsewhere, ask that Jamaican, Chinese, Indian or American colleague, do not underestimate the opportunities and connection you might get from people of other nationalities or even Canadians. We are not joined with other fellow Nigerians with the umblical cord of Nigeria outside its shores. I would have responded to your point on relocating home and my kids returning (connecting with) to Nigeria, but I do not want to go philosophical. Lest I cause an intellectual furore with my sagacious ruminations on the concept of home, fluid identity, creolization of culture, roots versus routes, etc. Mind not my hurly-burly Finally, honestly your courage in returning is impressive and good work you are doing. But you have American passport abi. And if anything happens, you can sharply travel for medical checkup and treatment. And maybe your children are studying abroad or even stayed back in America. Na so all our leaders dey do na, medical check fiam, all their family, overseas, even while "serving" their country  Having travelled wide and seeing first hand the discrimination that comes with having a green card yama yama Ecowas passport, let me too go to Kuvukiland Cannyland and get my navy blue passy, then maybe I will return to beg naija for forgiveness on this grave "betrayal". Up blue!!! rentAcock: 'immigration is modern day slavery except this time they do not have to forcibly chain able bodied men to slave ships or rape our women, they just make it easier for your youngest and brightest minds to simply emigrate in droves'. Who will build this country if you all leave, have you ever thought of that? I moved back, got a job and started a mentorship and scholarship program where we find youths whose families are unable to pay their elementary and secondary school fees and we partner with local businesses to raise funds for these kids. School isn't for everyone, we also train several kids in IT, carpentry, plumbing, construction and mini importation. Has it been easy? No. . |
