Hello guys, nice thread and overall, good advice and suggestions you guys are offering here. So I just registered for the IELTS general test today which would be taking place this Saturday, and I haven't read jack...I'm screwed hahaha. For those who did well, do you mind sending me materials you found most helpful in getting high scores? Also, tips for scoring high would be highly appreciated. I'm planning to do maraton reading before saturday. My email address is lil_lystra@yahoo.com Btw, the test is the same for all countries, right? I'm writing in Canada if that makes any difference.
P.S: Anyone can pitch in with their tricks and tips on doing well on the Ielts General....help a sister out!

Hello Again! what are the different employment related letters we need to submit to Immigration, for example, offer of employment/letter of employment or is it only "Letter of Reference"?

Hi Henmaris! First, welcome to Canada! I hope you are enjoying your stay in Edmonton, I lived there for a year before moving back to Calgary. I wanted to ask for a favor from you. Would it be possible for you to send me a sample of the employment reference letters you submitted to immigration? I have been in Canada for a while as a student, and I want to use my Naija employment to apply for FSW so I need a sample to send to my Naija employer so that he could have an idea on how to go about writing the letter. For privacy issues, you can remove any personal information. I will highly appreciate it if you can be able to send me this.

Hello everyone,
Its a month today since I arrived Canada and would like to share my observation/experience so far.Canada is a very nice country with friendly people.I'm based in Edmonton;for those of u whose destination is Edmonton, the first and smartest possible tip of getting a survival job on arrival is obtaining a first aid certificate as soon as u get here.Its a 2days course and I did that just 3days after arriving Canada and got a job 2 weeks later.Its an asset for most jobs. There are public libraries in the cities.As a beginner if u don't yet have internet connection at home you can always go to the library to browse and apply for jobs.U apply for most jobs online and are called up for an interview if u meet their requirements.U can also walk into some offices and submit your resume.
Regarding housing, houses are quite expensive especially looking at it as a new immigrant who just relocated without a job yet but the good news is bills are inclusive in the rents except electricity and its quite easy getting a survival job which u can earn up to to 18$an hour.I got an apartment two weeks after arriving.U can get an apartment between 750-900$ (1 bedroom).
Cost of living is very expensive so as soon as u arrive its necessary to learn how to shop wisely.At the start get the basics and with time u will live the kind of life u want after all Canada is a country without limitations and u can pursue your highest dream for as long as u stay focus and are smart enough to follow ur dreams.There is no discrimination,it may exist but its minimal and u r hired as long as u qualify for a job.


In fact, for everyone still in the waiting process, I wish u all the best,patience is the key and u will definitely get your hearts desire soonest. For those of u who will be coming to Edmonton,should u need any advice u can always pm me and I'll gladly help.
Best of luck to FSW APPLICANTS AND THOSE IN THE EXPRESS ENTRY POOL.
Good day

Hi Guys, please I need some help! Is there anyone in the house who has gotten his PR that can send me a sample of employment reference letter he/she submitted to immigration. I would really appreciate it if someone will be kind enough to send me one as I want to use it as a guide for my employer in Naija. I have been in Canada as a student for a while now, so I don't really know how Naija employers write employment reference letters, and I'm sure it will be totally different from how it's written here in Canada. For privacy issues, you can remove your name, the company name and any personal information that you wouldn't want to disclose I just want to know what should go in the letter and what not to put.
