Combine your certificates and ECA into a single pdf doc and upload it under education.

Martinkev:
Please, does this mean that ECA has to be submitted after ITA, even if no space is provided for it?

If yes, under what section should it be uploaded?

Congratulations to you and your family! I really enjoyed reading this.

PS: this just an inquisitive teenager who sees her parents driving around town gathering documents, seeing her mum talking to her laptop preparing for an exam. Ever since I was a child I loved going out of my comfort zone to find out abut something, that's what led me to looking for a website to get infos about what mum does, and then I found nairaland

Yes. You can edit your IELTS scores post-ITA.

ciwi:
Dear all, can u edit your ielts details after ITA? ...can u update it before submitting?

Please make use of newcomer services near you. It's free and they'll help you with settling down including finding daycare for your child/ children. Search here https://ircc.canada.ca/english/newcomers/services/index.asp

For calling Nigeria, I use Rebtel app. You'll get $10 free if you use my referral link and add $1. https://rebtel.app/6acFxKLCIqb

Please, anyone know anything about Daycare in Fredericton, New Brunswick as I will be needing one

my sponsor is a resident. she will foot the bills. i just want to know the process

no wahala. i don't want to talk about this anymore. on God.

ednut1:
google it. Being a resident doesn’t mean anything. Medical care that costs more than peoples annual salary . https://www.nairaland.com/7093119/need-advise-travel-visa I remember u from this thread now. This is not how to go about visas

LOL. Na different kind of people dey this NL sha. S/he don run delete profile. I read his/her recent topics too, and was confused as to what the intent might be. Shey na desperation we go call this one nau or what?

There are many to choose from, however, consider network coverage and price. You can also shop around as there are usually good deals available. You can use https://www.whistleout.ca/CellPhones to check and compare prices too.

Made the below video itemizing things to do in the first few days of landing in Canada - with tips you can find helpful.

Hi guys
Please which network provider would you recommend upon landing in Canada?

No, you can't use shares/equity as POF. I have seen somewhere on this thread where someone used 25% of their pension, just not sure if that still works as it is not precisely liquid cash. See IRCC's guide on POF here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

You can watch this for POF tips too.

Phebean2304:
...question.

Can one use MTNN shares or any equity in an investment account as POF? can the 25% of the pension statement be used
glad to hear your thoughts on this

Yes, that's your opinion. I just don't think it's fair for you to make such submissions about her spouse based on your assumptions. No one is feeling attacked here.
My suggestion to Winkky remains that she should work with verifiable facts, not emotions. I wish her family all the best.

Prettiepearlz:

You too be calming down! Not every time you people should be feeling attacked when we are talking about your gender. Her application is at stake here and he is choosing to be psychologically ready to do the needful after abandoning a child that may as well be his? The sacrifices she has made to get to where she is may be going up the flames or don’t you know the energy and work you put into studying, writing and passing TEF? Please I don’t even want to have this conversation with you but it’s my opinion, you are entitled to yours as well.
...

Prettiepearlz:

Wow! Just wow! Your husband is a very selfish human being who thinks of no one but himself and I feel so sorry for you.

And how do you know this? Please be calming down. I believe Winkky should make her decisions based on known facts, which is what IRCC/ visa officer would work with anyway. The DNA test is one very important way to put the matter to rest once and for all. I just hope they can get it done before ITA.

Go to Page 1 of this thread, all the info you need is there.

It's a tough one but not impossible. You should consider learning French and taking TEF, both you and your spouse should try to max out on IELTS, evaluate highest educational credentials. You can also look for a provincial nomination that you're eligible for. Someone 40+ also asked a related question a few pages back. You can read the responses to that too.

Zurrielle:
Please I want to kick start my Canadian immigration. I would like to know if I stand a chance. Would have done these years back but my family spent a huge chunk of our resources on IVF.
These are my details
1. Clocked 40 last November
2. OND Accounting
3. B.sc Accounting [b][/b] evaluate both with WES, 2 or more cert
4. I am a chartered Accountant. I heard WES doesn't evaluate ICAN certificate. Is it true? If yes , why? I don't know, only WES can answer this
5. Does my husband have to create a profile as well? Whoever is younger and has the highest level of education should be the primary applicant (profile)
6. I have about 12 years experience. Does this count? Yes, to some extent



Would you advice I proceed as the primary applicant? Thanks

Good evening all, please how do i go about migrating as a PR with my family. How long is the process and how much is involved. Please if there is a group I can join that will help put me through, I LL appreciate. Thank you

What's the credential you evaluated and what's your simulated CRS score? Asking this because you mentioned that your agent advised you to get another degree.

If your answer to the above question is BSc or equivalent, please take ednut1's advise and face the task of increasing your CRS.

Pascal122:


I've done my IELTS and Wes evaluation. I just want to be sure of what I'm doing before opening the profile.

They're usually CAD except specifically stated.

doxame:
Hello People,

Trying to prepare for landing. Could someone please tell me if the prices listed on Ikea Canada and amazon.ca are in Canadian dollars or USD. The sites didnt specify the currency code of the dollar.

You can answer your question yourself chief.

What exactly do you do to earn money? Once you've determined that, do you spend up to 37.5 hours doing it weekly? If YES, it's full-time. If NO, likely part-time.

Also, do you have an offer letter regarding your employment with the Asian coy? If YES, what does it state? (full-time or part-time). Being remote shouldn't matter. Can you get a reference letter from them as proof?

Read page 1 for info on self-employment.

Pascal122:

Yes I know it's going to take time. I just thought the FSW program will speed things up.

Just answer my questions on what I should include as my work experience. The only stable secular job I have is the writing gig with the Asian company (since 2019) and it's remote. Should I say part-time or?

Apart from that, it's just my blogs. I don't earn enough to use self-employed.

Please does anyone have the FRSC contact's number in Abuja. I believe his name is Mr. Sule. I have searched many pages but could not find it.

Thank you

Here

TheCongo2:


I posted the following info here on Nairaland 3 years ago. Not sure if it is still relevant.


To get the FRSC letter, You can follow the following steps:

1st step - Send an email with your driver's license details to the FRSC Abuja Office requesting a FRSC letter or driving record.
You are more likely NOT to receive a reply from the FRSC Abuja office.

2nd step- Follow up your email by contacting this Abuja FRSC Employee (Sule - phone number 2348033795031)
Sule will access the FRSC Database and will write for you the FRSC letter.
I was also told that the Service provided by Sule is free of charge . The only money you will send to him is for the shipment of the FRSC letter to

You can write the letter in ink and sign. No big deal. That's exactly what my spouse did.

Yes, you can write a single LOE to explain all the seemingly unclear issues in your application - type this, and keep it simple.

upkay:


Is it matter to write this letter in ink (i.e pen) or printed format?

Also, if one has two concerns (e.g POF and change of name) to write LOE on, can they be written together on a single letter page or you write the two concerns separate?

Thank you.

I don't know if FRSC issues the letter in Lagos. I guess it depends on who is helping you with it there (civil service). I believe someone shared contact in some pages back.

icehot:


Hello,

Do you know anywhere in Lagos that can get it? Is it only Abuja I can send an email to? How long does it take to come out?

Thanks

Take the high-paying job in Nigeria. That your 5m is not enough for an MSc programme in Canada (considering school fees, living costs etc.) That money can be used for many other things in Nigeria including getting an MSc degree.

Your work experience at the federal job, MSc (if you decide to do it in Nigeria), and good savings MAY come in handy in about 3 years if you're still interested in moving to Canada.

Cheers

fortz007:
Good evening fam. I believe everyone’s doing okay. Please I’m caught in a dilemma. I have up to 5m and i have two options.
1. Get a high paying fed job
2. Go for msc programme in canada.
I believe everyone’s mature enough here to share their candid opinion.
I’ll be reading the comments. Thank you!

DL abstract from FRSC in Abuja is free, only that you'd need to find someone there to help you send it via courier (not free). A second option is through the Nigeria High Commission in Ottawa (https://nigeriahcottawa.ca/drivers-license-letter/) - which is also not free. Be sure that the letter is acceptable in your province before going through the stress anyways. I know it works in Ontario, not sure of the other provinces/territories.

I made a video on this on my YT channel

Blessedme4:
Pls house, I saw an old 2017 post on how to obtain a driver abstract here I.e sending an email to Abuja. Pls is it still the right way and are there payments for it? Thanks for your response

I guess you're yet to decide on your city of choice. Check for shared apartments on kijiji.ca. You may need to land first so as to physically see the apartments (except of course you have someone to do that for you).

Yes. My passport had 5 months of validity when I landed last year. I went to Ottawa to renew it in December.

LANDING GIST.
LONG READ.
Still settling in but the little I have seen confirmed that coming to Canada is worth the wait and the hype in terms of quality of life and sanity of mind. ... Mentally stop converting your spending into naira, ... Please don’t blow your POF before coming down as settling down is very expensive, if possible, bring more than the required POF, you will thank God you did.

What an interesting read. The bolded are the highlights for me, 100% valid for anyone on this journey.

CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family for the victory at last.
