Good afternoon house.
pls I need your imput. We are planning on using my husband as PA since he has an international masters degree and work experience and with him CRS ia about 486. We also don't have to evaluate his cert if am right.(save money)
Now that he found out that weac has to be evaluated we can't use him as PA anymore due to the difference in age. His passport says 39 which isnt same as waec age.
Using me as PA crs is 443 but with the increase in crs score and age palava(next birthday its a minus 5). I am confused, dont know which route to take. Has anyone here been in this situation. Please kindly advise. Thank you.
Hello, I guess you need to take further look at your entries while using the CRS tool. The boldened seem to be contradictory. Does your husband have Canadian education and work experience? Does he (or you) have a PR or citizen sibling in Canada? I think that score is quite high for a 39 year old. Get that sorted first and then we look into this your concern together.

Hello Everyone! I want to first appreciate the effort of those taking their time to educate and answer questions asked. I am married to an officer in the army and we have one child. I am a freelance writer with a B.A in literature, his job makes him go all over the place so it's hard for the family to stay together even though we try. He plans to relocate us and after reading through this thread, I'm not sure if he is eligible to be the primary applicant? I do freelance so I have no work experience. Thanks
If I may ask ma'am, why do you think he is ineligible to apply?

Hi all, please I need reassurance. I was just looking through my ppr again and I’m almost getting worried. I didn’t fill that IMM008 form cos I didn’t think it was necessary since there had been no change in my family configuration( single applicant). But looking at it again, it appears to be a requirement. Please is there anyone that submitted passport without IMM008 and has received Copr? Biko help me
@ramj: you’re always well informed. @newmum0615..anyone please?
You do not have to fill it if your family composition hasn't changed. If you feel uneasy leaving it out, you may then fill and submit.

This thread will be for professional and experience advice and also for those in my place. Please matured advice only no kid-ins.

Myself and my fiance graduated 5yrs ago, I have a B.Eng Petroleum and Gas while she has a BSc. Accounting. I have about 2yrs experience working with Huawei Telecommunications as a site maintenance engr- Airtel Tel while my fiance has about 1yr work exp with a micro finance bank. Both of us not working currently but into farming full time. To God be the glory we are expecting a baby, We hope to take our 7yrs relationship into a bigger home as soon as our baby arrives and most importantly availability of finance.

Being a man of many ambition @36 with limited opportunities in Nigeria my hope is gradually dwindling so I came up with the decision to relocate with my fiance.

So this is where I need advice, assist and help on best,cheapest and the fastest means we can immigrate out of Nigeria to have a better life.

What kind/class of visa app will suit our profile?
Can I carry out the visa processing myself because I rlly don't have much money these processing guys are charging?
How much budget will be needed from start to finish for a family of 3?(2adults+1infant)
My intention immigrating is mainly to go into faming abroad but I will have to work first after arriving to save up before that, so, which country among Canada, USA or Australia and best state/province will fit into this plan in mind?

Please kind advice is needed. Thanks and God bless us all.
The answers you desire (and more) can be found HERE. Plus, there are no kids here.

Congratulations bro.

As a side note, it doesn't speak well of anyone to come to this forum, benefit immensely and then bow out with the kind of PPR announcements we've been seeing lately, this one in particular. PPR announcements have their own way of boosting badly battered morale of some people who visit this thread. Sometimes, all one would need to continue to fire on is a visit to the PPR section of page 1 but very few would read the kind of PPR testimonies we see these days and feel "gingered". I won't be surprised if you've also benefitted from those long narratives of happy people here.

We can do better guys.

Good evening All, I'm one of the silent followers of this thread from part 3 thereabouts. Still haven't decided whether to move.

I have a friend that I practically pushed to try this and he's set to leave in December, 2018.

He's leaving for Ottawa and needs help with settling in. Can he get help from here please? Settling in - getting accommodation, a friend to help him through the whole settling in process too.

Thanks

Tojued:
In my opinion, If you can help it please avoid using your pension but please note that nobody that I know of has gotten 'insufficient funds' issue for using pension (although I don't know a lot of people smiley)

However I feel like any day they can decide it's not liquid enough to meet their requirements. All it takes is one VO or policy adviser waking up on the wrong side of his bed.

As it is my speculation recently is that using pf automatically triggers 'review required' for POF. Just a speculation sha. Hopefully the congregation can comment on this based on their gcms notes.
Apologies if I'm dragging us back a bit on this. I think you're right with the VO's discretion assumption. 2 of my friends used their pf as a good part of their PoF (almost N2.5m) and they both scaled through. One other one who recently got her GCMS notes in July discovered that the VO treating her matter ignored hers. I advised her to raise a CSE at once before they come with their "insufficient settlement funds" slogan. Upon receipt of the second notes late last month, the PoF had been recalculated to include the pf.


I think pf is very well recognized (at least for now sha) as a valid part of PoF, but sometimes some of the officers decide on their own to leave it out. I'd really struggle to believe that it was an oversight. they're too eagle-eyed to miss out on anything.

Ramj:
My dear @mcstan18 VOs do not know oooo. They strictly follow what is on your ECA Summary.

Someone posted the story of someone whose application was rejected because of this LLB evaluation by WES.

The comment was that she selected Masters/professional degree whereas ECA by WES mentioned 4 years Bachelor's degree hence her CRS was not enough for the ITA she got and bang - REJECTED.

I urge every lawyer to ditch WES for IQAS however if WES is so dear to you so te if you dont use WES you cant sleep and you shaa insist on using them send both LLB and your law School transcript ( so you can las las claim pounts for 2 or more degree)

A word is enough for the wise.


Je m'appelle Ramj
stonecoldcafe:
I agree with you on this mcstan. We know her law degree is regarded as professional but if I chose Wes and my report equates it to a degree, I would not use professional while creating my EE profile but that's just me. If the VO want to upgrade then let them do it. This issue is a bit controversial with various people saying different things they saw on their report and gcms notes. I personally would err on the side of caution.

@BarbaraCharles, stimulate your CRS score with degree and see what it comes to. If its above 440, then you're good to go
I agree with you @Ramj and @stoncoldcafe. Better safe than sorry it is

The answers to your questions can be found on the first page of this thread. You'd enjoy reading through the numerous links embedded within.

Further to that, permit me to give you an honest advise. You need to work on the way you write/type first of all, before you bother yourself so much about answers. I do not think you have sat for IELTS. If that is the case, then the sooner you start doing it right (even when you think it unnecessary), the better it gets for you. I hope you take the positives in my message.

Estac:
There has been a longstanding debate about WES vs IQAS for evaluation of LLB. Unlike IQAS, WES usually does not use the phrase "first professional degree" in its LLB ECA. Some have said that because of this absence, one cannot claim point for professional degree. But in your case, you still have the age advantage. So use the CRS to calculate your score using BSC for both you and ur hubby . If it puts you above 440, then you can select masters/professional degree when creating your profile. Worst case scenario is if, post ITA, the visa officer considers that your ECA is only a bachelors degree and recalculates your score on that basis, you will still be above the cut-off for your draw and your application will not be refused. But if with bachelors degree you are not above 440. Please use the tested and trusted IQAS.

I hope someone helps to put this debate to rest soon. I know a couple who like you are both lawyers and are using WES but they are yet to submit their application. The plan is to select points for professional degree at the time of submission and then request for GCMS after submission to see how the visa officer will regard the ECA. Mind you, these people also have sibling factor to boost their CRS so even if their LLB is regarded as BSc, their CRS will still be about 450. Hopefully, this will help solve the debate.
You have actually said it the best way it could've possibly come. I'm sure the processing and visa officers know that a Law degree is a professional degree regardless of what the ECA report says. However, I know that they work-to-rule most times without recourse to independent, fair and flexible interpretations, and so may want stick to what the report says.

Your submission is by far the most reasonable thing anyone in that condition would do - Optimize points but stay within safe limits
