Yes you can start your own Msc verification. Her PHD verification will make more sense only if she is PA. If she isnt going to be PA, it will just add some tiny points.

Do you have a relative in Canada for sibling points?

Lagoscooldude:
Thanks boss . We were thinking she should verify her Phd being the highest certificate so as to boost our chances. Can I send my own M.sc for verification first while she sends her phd once she's done in July? Good morning

Can you have your parents send money to you as a gift? Then do a gift deed. That way you save yourself too much stress and explanation

Beyy:
Guys please I need help with this question. Please someone should kindly advice. Thanks in advance

See combo nah!

You both are good to go as PA. You can start by verifying your MSC and hers.

Then write Ielts. The person with the best score will then be PA.

Start immediately with your result verification as that can take a while.

Decision to travel - Since I was old enough and realised our leaders will not allow Nigeria harness her full potential.


Season greetings to you all!!

IT doesnt count as years of experience. It should be post graduate. You can use from NYSC.

Betapikin01:
Good evening my ancestor, elders and seniors.
Please I have some questions bothering me especially with regards to the NOC

1.) I did my one year industrial placement from 2011 to 2012 that's like 8years ago can it count as work experience during my registration (NOC 2282) considering the time frame.

2.) During my Nysc, I was a lecturer in a college of Agriculture. And it's normally a 1yr thing. Thinking of using (NOC level 4021) but I don't know if it's possible.

3.) I am a beneficiary of the FG N-power program and has been teaching in a secondary school for like a year now. Does it count (NOC 4031).

Local man needs serious advice on the way forward.

Regards

Wait it. 466 is a good score. Hopefully crs points will go lower in the new year.

achmed1:
Trying to decide whether to go for clb 10 and gain 3 extra points to 469...or just wait it out till February ending before spending 75k

Every 2weeks. The crs benchmark will be announced then.

odimbannamdi:
How often does the draw take place and how do we know the CRS benchmark?

I don’t think they will ask that. Use your dad and do the gift deed.

Rett0:
Okay thanks. That is a good option too. He transfers to my dad then my dad transfers to me.

@bekayy but what if they ask me to proof my dad's source of income and provide his bank statement of account. Considering the gift is about 8M.

Thanks.

Pm me

Ibukune:
Good morning house, pls i need links to prepare, practice and be trained for IELTS. I will greatly appreciate it

Its Ikoyi passport office, Lagos.

Kaygirl33:
Please Ma'am, where did you process yours? My husband went for renewal of his expired passport and for 3 months now, they're telling him there's no paper. Who has a contact in Akure Immigration Office Please?

Try gate crashing as suggested. However if you cant get it done before deadline. Scan your appointment as proof that you couldn’t. Then once its done send it.

Saintee2009:
Already paid and booked Qlife

Ghana visa officers.. that means that Canada immigration is being sorted by the visa officers in ghana.... there are different visa officers that are assigned to them. It has nothing to so with getting ghana travel history. Please visit page 1 and read


[quote author=ify2016 post=85214498][/quote]

You dont need travel experience for migration. However should you still want to, you can travel to Ghana or any other ‘nearby’ country. Do the normal 32 pages. There is no ‘better’ pages passport.

Time frame depends on who assist you in the passport processing... I recently renewed mine and I got it in 4days.

ify2016:
I want to register for my international passport and I read through some past tread that in order to have more opportunity during visa interview one's passport has to be stamped in Ghana for traveling experience. Now,my question is, I wish to apply for one now and I want to know how i can stamp it as an evidence of travel experience and how many page passport is better as a newbie. Also, what could be the cost of processing and duration for collection? Merry Christmas to you all.

Yes, I believe so. You can also send WES a mail to reconfirm the AAT.

RS21:
Hi house please I am currently doing my masters and I have B.sc, and AAT that's is ican ATS can both my result be evaluated as two or more result by WES please

Is your postgraduate a masters? If its not then Pick ‘two or more certificates’

oludolapoajayi:
Good day friends,

I need guidance in filing my EE profile. My ECA reports reads:

*CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Diploma (two years), diploma (three years), postgraduate certificate (one
year) and bachelor's degree (four years)*.

Under education, which should I pick?

Thank you.

Same here o. I was wondering what happened being that i can count the number of times I have commented here.

Eraytee:
its good to be back after being banned for 24hrs for no reason . congrats to all PPR clinchers... merry xmas to us all. 2020 is going to be our year of fulfillment.

After you receive ITA. So start gathering ya money together.

aremso:
fam, pls at what point does one needs to present POF？

So sorry about that. You may however need to wait till out to write the failed module.

Except you can change your mind about CIMA. I think CiMA takes shorter time but then the money and reading investment...

I will say you should just rewrite the BCS. 2020 is still your year for Canada.

If i may ask, what is your current CRS point?

Dinma27:
I can't hold it any longer

I I'm pained. I'm not good with maths at all or calculations thats why i haven't considered CIMA... I'm seriously looking for alternatives even though i will still write the failed module..i just want to keep progressing with this process while at it. I'll be 31 in a month's time. Spouse has only Bsc...

Please any suggestion? Heeeeelp!!

Pm me.

liftedkris:
Hi all.. I

I have registered to sit for my IELTS in January but I need all the assistance I can get to help me get through this exam successfully. I would be really grateful if I could get materials for IELTS especially the very important ones. I learned there are paid materials and I would really appreciate if someone share with me

Thanks and God bless us all

The possibility of getting a higher score in speaking is high as it is a subjective exam. Another examiner will go through and could give you a higher score. So please go ahead and remark.

teeboi77:
@ ednut1 is there any hope of getting high mark if we request for the remark??and is there no other implication?

Google ‘crs calculator’ then input your information as requested

lasisig5:
How do I do that please I’m new here and have been reading this trend but didn’t find out that please help.

I think you should wait for her to finish so her Bsc can also count for you both.

Have you calculated your crs points?

lasisig5:
Good evening gurus, please what’s my chance of getting PPR visa, I have a BSC in microbiology, Working with FIRSC, I have a daughter of 1 year but my wife is just in first semester 400 level Mass communication. I don’t know if I should wait for her to finish or I should start the process now, Please advice me on what to do.
And what’s the first steps in the journey.
Thanks for your contribution.

You can do a certification like CIMA or BCS. It rakes a shorter time than diploma especially CIMA. I am currently working towards CIMA too.

I am 30 (by January)
Only BSc
Brother is a PR tho

Current score is 453

sweetoma:
Good day house, you guys are so amazing. Please I’d need some guidance

28yrs old last month
Bsc holder English lit
Husband is 37 MSC holder
Marketing and Bsc Accounting
Submitted our documents for ECA at WES
Registered for IELTS for Jan
I intend applying as PA based on my age but because I do not have a masters our best score would be around 450
With the current trend of 470 cutoff what can we do to obtain ITA ? Should we focus on PNP ? Should I get a diploma ?
And if you suggest PNP using law firms like Canadim can it secure us PNP ? We do not have any PR relatives so any ideas or advice on what to do next will be very helpful.

God bless you all

I need coaching too please

Amylicious:
pls I sent you a pm

Please did you find a study group?

Ultimus:
Create the WhatsApp group and post the link here.

Please house, is there any study group on WhatsApp or Telegram I can join?

Hello my people,

LONG POST ALERT!!!

Weldone and thanks to everyone keeping this thread alive

I don dey read this thread for the past two weeks (from page 1 oh), in fact the page is permanently opened on my browser and i just keep reading in my spare time plus taking a lot of screenshots for future reference
Like someone said, this thread should be a taking and also giving back thread (Not only taking without sharing your experience), I will start sharing my experience as it goes and will keep on updating as I progress on this journey.

In 2015 I applied for US tourist visa and got a 2year entry. At POE in US told CBP i was also going to have my baby in the US along with the vacation. Baby came, all bills paid got zero balance from doctor and hospital. Fast forward to 2017, myself and hubby wanted to renew the visa, VO said why didnt we declare in the first interview that we wanted to have baby in the US. Told the VO that the initial VO who interviewed us did not ask any question on that and the plan was only to visit. He would have any of our story. Long story short, he denied us the visa.

Then I decided to try the Canada route. Read this forum like crazy to understand how to go about the application especially when you have been denied a US visa. After a lot of reading and digesting, myself and hubby summoned courage to apply for the TR visa. Plan was that we would travel for a visit in December as a tourist and then use that opportunity to see if we could scout for a doc/Gynae/settle accommodation plans etc and then next year when baby is due will travel for child birth. We submitted the application (via Paper route) went to VFS to submit all the requested supporting docs. This was on 22nd Oct. Exactly 10 calendar days after submitting the application, hubby got a call from the Canada embassy. Basically he was asked for the reason why we were refused a US visa. He then clearly explained to the Canadian VO that we were not no sufficient ties back home. He also mentioned that we had our baby there as well but all the bills were paid in full. Apparently the Canadian embassy had also called the US embassy people to find out why we were not given the visa but they did not give any convincing answer to the Canadian embassy hence the reason the Canadian embassy called us to find out further. Also during the convo, the Canadian VO then asked my husband if I was currently pregnant. My husband said yes and that we plan to also have the baby there next year but the reason for the initial visit was for tourism. The Canadian VO was like it is not illegal or a crime to go to Canada to give birth. If you have sufficient fund to cover it, you would most likely be given. They even called my husband’s company HR manager to confirm if salary certificate which we provided was correct (no be small thing).

Long story short, he told us to send receipts of our medical bills in the US as well as the refusal document which was received from US embassy. We sent all the details to him and even put the US hospital and doctor’s contact info to call them if they have any doubts. Exactly one week after sending all the details, we received a mail from the Canadian embassy to come and drop our passports. Got our passports back today. Mine stamped Multiple entry till 2021 hubby till 2019 as passport expires in 2019.

My peace of mind is that I have clearly declared to the VO that I would be giving birth so I no get fear for POE issues.
In my opinion, Canada Embassy processes your VISA in a fairer manner than US. They take time to review your documents properly and then make a decision based on that. But US ehn, its like before you even show up at the embassy, they have already made a decision without checking your docs..

Now unto the next stage of preparation, Accommodation /OB GYN/Hospital to use. As I no get family for Canada, Ontario will be my best bet as I can see from people’s review on this thread that it seems to be a relatively less expensive to birth there. I will start contacting the hospitals and docs now.

@Hotstepper, please help a sister out. How can you assist with accommodation options available and which city do you recommend I stay in (Brampton or Toronto)? Which is easier to move around in? Do you have anyone I can contact in arranging accommodation for a 2 month period. Also I have contacts of Dr Ayodele and Dr Abou of Brampton hospital and I have the Dr Grace contact of humber river. I just need to understand if I should call the doctor first or the hospital first or do I have to first get a Family Doctor who will then refer me to the hospital/Doctor. As I don’t have family doctor, please help if you can refer me to someone. Thanks a lot and look forward to your feedback.

Any other preggy mama bound for Ontario around April/May 2018 who doesn’t mind sharing accommodation? I need to plan this waka well in advance.

Thanks a lot to everyone and wishing every mama out there a safe one!!!
