Baba how about people yet to take IELTS

The first thing is to do IELTS. Most route requires it.

iamoyindamola:
Finland hard o

Portugal and Austria are decent options.

raumdeuter:
Student route is easier than job route. Shey na this economy wey citizen no get job dem wan employ from Nigeria of all places. Unless na you write Apple source code

Though student route after studies you are on your own and might be on your way to Naija armed with just your certificate

Most European countries bar UK offers cheaper schooling and you can move with dependents.

iamoyindamola:
I understand french oo but I can't speak that rubbish language

They have their own exam (TCF/TEF) just like IELTS

raumdeuter:
As with everything in life the express entry is getting more competitive. Like 15yrs ago anyone who scored 7 in IELTS go dey dance, Now if you score below 8 just go rewrite, Human beings not just Nigerians, Indians Asians have turned this to a full time hustle and are finding routes to beat the system and get higher scores, Before MSc was almost sure for you right now number of MsC in Nigeria alone has quadrupled in the last 10yrs

if they do 2 back to back draws, the score might drop by 5, but if they wait for over 2months to do a draw, many people will enter the pool and its almost guaranteed that it will spike

All those undesired provinces self now people don open eye to them Saskatchewan Yukon don be like California for people eyes nowadays,

You no lie.

iamoyindamola:
I stopped the student route long time ago
I have been trying the job too but it seems that one sef hard

It's the hardest.

Going from Erik Bin Laden to Tucheliban

God abeg now

A friend was trying the Canada express route around 2016 and the information I can gather from him is that

Its calculated on a Point system
Age matters - the younger the better and more points you get, your points reduce with age. (Obviously they are lookin for younger people to contribute to the economy not those too old)

The higher the education the better and more points for Phd than with Masters and with Bachelors

Canada has 2 Official languages, if you have excellent abilities in both languages it boost your points

So the ideal person will be a 27yr old perfectly bilingual person like Popi or hensb3n with a MSc or Phd

The main test for English is IELTS and the higher you score the better for your points, Its graded from like 1-9. You need to aim for 8 to 9 to get the highest points

They publish a cutoff score when the draws are made. Once your calculated score meet the cutoff you get an Invitation to submit your application
Use this link below to calculate your score
https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

This link below will show you history of draws made till date to know where the last cutoff was and what you can do to get above the cutoff

https://www.canadavisa.com/express-entry-invitations-to-apply-issued.html

E.g last cutoff for General was 529 for the draw made on April 23. If your CRS score is showing less than 500, You need to look for ways to boost it cos it will take a miracle to get them to drop it that low

They have a number they want to send invitation to, they determine a cutoff point that will make them get that exact number

They do drop the minimum score sometimes depending on the average score of those in the pool when the draw is happening. My friend got in in 2018 with 380 when they dropped the score from around 420 or so.

Though the best option is to try and pass the last draw minimum point.

Some advise that you enter and create a profile regardless if you meet the point or not since almost all the region are now doing their own form of express entry now.

If you have 5 to 10 years work experience, a bachelor degree and can get full score in IELTS…. Canada express entry sure pass.
Nigerians are still relocating with that route.

The industry in which the work experience is matters also.

If it falls under the labor shortage list, it's a massive advantage.

BlueRayDick:
Thanks, I'm trying to calculate the points now. What are the ideal IELTS scores acceptable to them?

7 at the very least.

Just like Egbon Dayo said, age is very important. If you are below 30, its 20pts. From 31 upward the score reduces as the age increase.

Most people applying as a couple usually use the youngest one among them as the primary applicant.

Modified.

GrammarNazi1:
True.

But one may not need a French exam certificate if one's IELTS (Test of English) score is high.

High IELTS score with French will boost your score and your chances by like 70%. Like 2 regions need applicants that are fluent in French so it is an added advantage.

BlueRayDick:
It's the long time the express entry always takes that just tires me out. I see people saying it took them years on the queue noni.

Can share with me a link to a thread I can read on how to stack up points and all?

This one that all countries are even making the student route with spouse difficult sef just tire me; would've gone through that route sef

https://www.nairaland.com/6829885/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled#107239666

You can go through the link.

I recommend you go to their website, it's well detailed on what you need for each point and at each stage.

You can use this link to calculate your score:

https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

The last express entry draw was done in March 25 and the minimum CRS score was 524.

When you calculate your CRS, using the link I sent above, it will show whether you are eligible to apply or not. If you have M.Sc and fluent in French, it will boost your CRS score.

[quote author=Leyqute post=129849068][/quote]Ten Hag to Bayern

I'll be there.

BlueRayDick:
Abeg is Canada currently running any migration package that allows one get jobs right from Nigeria ? If yes, is it different from the normal express entry that takes years for PR/ visa to be granted?

Getting job from Nigeria that helps with relocation is very rare. The federal express entry is still the best path, you just need to find a way to stack up your points.

You can try regional express entry also but most of them requires having a federal express entry profile also.

GloriousGbola:
We have been paying 5% vat on business transactions until it was raised to 7.5% a few years ago. There is also 10% withholding tax

I think the governments real long term goal is to find a way to tax transfers that are really payments.

But if the govt wants everyone to go cashless as the CBN has been trying to do since, isn't it counterproductive to want to tax transfer? We already pay transfer fee, why should we be paying tax on transfer also?

Even that cybersecurity levy, there should be a minimum and maximum threshold. Imagine a business doing a transfer of millions, if the business do 2 10m transfer in a days, that's 100k on levy alone. It's an absurdity.

raumdeuter:
Sancho joined in January right?

Mention 3 spectacular performance of Man utd and Ten Hag this entire season in all competitions

But we want to collect Tucheliban from you guys and give you Erik Bin Laden.

Why you dey tackle your next manager ehn?

greypencils:
What's nuts? Their bench is actually very good. They are like the Grizzlies of 2 years ago only younger and definitely more disciplined.

The Grizzlies were just marred with injuries and Ja indiscipline. They will be back next season.

This one na triple threat match. 2 v 1

Siddon mode activated.

steady986:
Shey na this OKC everybody been wan play for this playoff so?

OKC v Wolves will be interesting.

Gobert with 4 DPoY award.

Roland17:
I remember when opponents used to dare L. Dort to shoot the 3 ball. Man has evolved into a solid 3/D guy.

Please check your mail when you are free.

A40:
What was Nuggets GM doing when Mavericks were getting a Gafford? Can you imagine this guy backing Jokic instead of the remains of DeAndre Jordan

Their GM already told you they are planning for the future. Nothing concern the GM and immediate win. Hes contended with the 1 ring.

Malone however no get time for those Youths.

GM doing one thing, coach doing another.

Roland17:

OKC starting 5 can shoot 3 except maybe Giddey.

OKC wan kill Mavs for here ooo.

A40:
That was prison ball. Nuggets should have put in one bench guy to touch someone up. Whining to the refs was where I knew they lost it

Yeah. Their play became worse when they started complaining. Terrible shot selection, unnecessary fouls.

Murray is fined 100k and lucky to avoid suspension.

Doncic no show tonight.

Kyrie is a joy to watch.

A40:
If na these refs blow for Murray yesterday e for good. This is absurd

The ref in yesterday game were blind.

These guys combined for 74pts in the first quarters and combined for 34 in the second quarter.

Them wan use brick blind my eyes for that second quarter.

This Boston v Cavs since interesting.

Roland17:
I have to agree. They were lethargic and indifferent yesterday, not sure why. I mean, we agree the Timberwolves are a great defensive team but the Nuggets could not even do the simple things right.

They are intimidated, then the ref was allowing the Wolves to get away with alot of physicality while blowing for foul against the Nuggets for any small touch. Instead of keeping their cool and getting in flow of the game, they lost their heads started shouting at the refs and everything just went sideways from there pretty fast.

Itsrm:
I am

Definitely.
