Hello everyone. Please for those who have some insight on this matter, why do you think there has been no draw for over a month now? This is the last day of November and I doubt we'll see any draw today. That means the whole of November would have passed without a draw. Should we expect any draws in December or are they done for the year? Have they met the alloted number of immigrants for this year?

I'm in the pool at 484. My NOC is 21321 so I'm targeting STEM draw, but there has been no STEM draw since July. Please is there hope for me soon? I'm just getting depressed by the situation. This IRCC silence is just killing me.

Thanks for your responses.

Hello everyone. Thanks for all your answers here. You are really helping a lot of people. Just a small question this evening. I know the EE draw just returned, but can we tell on average how it takes from receipt of ITA till the recipient eventually leaves for Canada? Thanks for your responses.

Please what is the IRCC number. I would like to have it just in case I ever need to call them.

articulate3145:
My question could be naive BUT

I've called IRRC twice in the last one week. I was told that everything is passed but my file is pending a final decision.
What does this mean?
I really don't know when to expect a final decision

Hello everyone. Just a quick question. If someone has a DELF B2, can the certificate be evaluated by WES? If so, can the person then join that with his BSc to claim two or more certificates, diplomas or degree on the express entry profile? Has anyone here successfully done something like that or heard of someone who did so successfully? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Please does anyone have a valid prepmyfuture account and if so could you please share the details? Thanks.

Hello everyone. This is a follow-up to some questions I asked previously and I appreciate your answers then. Like I said then, I studied engineering and I served for a year in the engineering department of a ministry. For close to 4 years now I've been managing my family business. It is actually a pure water company. Initially I was doing it for free, but I recently started receiving payment for the work I am doing there so as to begin to build a salary trail for myself. The amount I'm being paid from the company is N200k. Thus, I have a couple of questions:
1) Can a pure water company be accepted as a legitimate company for the purposes of Canadian immigration?
2) Is the N200k excessive to receive as salary for managing such a company?
3) Is there a NOC for business management or something similar?
4) Does it matter that it is a family-owned company? Any letter (such as recommendation letter) would be written by Dad and that would make the relationship between us obvious as it would show we share a surname.
s) Can you use experience from 2 totally different jobs? For example could I use one year of my engineering experience at the ministry and combine that with the couple of years at my family's company?
6) If question 5 above is possible, how does that affect the NOC you're supposed to pick? I believe you're limited to choosing just one NOC. Does that mean that you select a NOC that covers one of the 2 jobs while ignoring the other one?

I apologise if some of these questions have been previously answered here and I thank you in advance for your replies.

Hello everyone. I am really grateful that this page is available. It is really helping a lot of us. A little about myself: I studied engineering. After my graduation, I did my NYSC in the engineering department of a ministry. At the conclusion of my NYSC, I had to start looking for a job and I recently got an engineering job with a private company. As I only recently started at this job, it hasn't been up to a year, but the NYSC service was for a year. After checking on the CRS calculator, because other factors I have going my way, I really only need 1 year experience to be okay. My plan initially was to use my NYSC experience for that one year, but I spoke to some people who said that the Canadian immigration officials don't regard NYSC service as legitimate work experience and so it wouldn't count for me. And so I have a two-part question:
1) Is NYSC experience viewed as real work experience for the purposes of Canadian immigration?
2) Can you combine experience from two different companies (in my case the ministry and the private company) if it is moreorless the same job you were doing at both places?

I would really appreciate hearing from you guys and I'm sure that you all will proffer a lot of astute suggestions.
Thanks.

Please I want to hear from muslims. What do you guys have to say about this? Do you support it? Do these people speak for you? What are you doing to ameliorate this problem, because it is on you. You must extirpate this cancer of violence from your religion, unless they both go together.

All I keep hearing from the so-called "moderate muslims" is that these people neither speak for nor represent Islam. They are always quick to point out that these people have misinterpreted the quran. Yet, could that really be the case? These barbaric animals seem to be the most committed muslims. They, I imagine, spend the most time in the mosque, reading the quran, etc., yet we're told they're misunderstanding it. You would think that the people who spend the most time reading something would be in the best position to tell you what it means. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps the quran does sanction this type of behaviour, after all we are all aware of excerpts of it that explicitly advocate violence against "infidels". So, perhaps it is the "moderate muslims" who are deliberately misinterpreting the quran to make it seem less violent and radical than it actually is.

Also, if it is indeed a misinterpretation, why is that only muslims have that problem. I don't think you can point at a single case over the years where a Christian (or any other religion for that matter, anywhere in the world) killed a muslim because he said something disparaging about Jesus for example. It just doesn't happen. I have had muslims say such things in my presence, despite the fact that almost everyone present at that place were Christians. Some argued with the person, I simply shook my head and walked away. But I had zero inclination to attack him, as I'm sure others didn't. And, this is not limited to Nigeria. You can't go to any country where muslims constitute a sizable proportion of the population and say anything that could possibly be interpreted as slighting "the prophet". Once the allegation is made, even people who weren't there would join in killing you. On the other hand, you can go to the Vatican and tear a picture of Jesus right in front of the Pope and nothing will happen to you. Even in Europe where muslims are still a tiny minority, we all know what happened in the wake of the Danish cartoons or with the Paris attacks because of the Charlie Hebdo cartoon. The "moderate muslims" are peaceful only when they are in an environment where they are not a majority and so could suffer from reprisals if they attack anyone. But once they are feel they are in a majority-muslim area they either shed that facade and show you who they really are, or at best they keep quiet and watch it happen.

It is obvious that there exists within Islam a fundamentally irrational mentality which calls on its adherents to go to war even against their friends and neighbous over tiniest perceived slight. It is up to them to put a stop to it. And they can't put it down solely to lack of education because universal education is a relatively recent concept (within the last century and a half), yet as far back as you want to look, you can't really find such things in other religions. We as Christians know that there are some unfortunate things that were done in our past. Not to justify them, but those things were usually not as bad as this in gravity, volume and regularity, they were usually in response to some other provocation and more importantly, they stopped happening many centuries ago.

This needs to stop expeditiously, or those Christians living up North are going to have to seriously reconsider their choices.
