In addition, I will encourage you to take PTA/OTA program which is more Rehab career path rather than taking HCA program which is more Nursing career path. PTA/OTA will give you a depth knowledge about Rehab in Canada and also help you to pass your College of physiotherapy board exams in future because as you are working, you will be developing your skills. PTA/OTA do the same thing as PT/OT except for assessment and few therapy treatments such as manual therapy etc. The job is guaranteed for PTA/OTA and HCA in all levels of care such as LTC, Acute and Community care. RTA is also good but you might not get the skills you needed for your transition into Physiotherapist in future because it is activities based career such as games and so on. Lastly, PTA/OTA program is two years Diploma program in most colleges in Canada while HCA is 6-8 months Certificates program and RTA can be either certificate program or diploma program. I don’t know all the colleges in your province Alberta because am in BC. But I know one college in BC that does all the 3 disciplines PTA/OTA/RTA in one 2 years Diploma program. There are many colleges across Canada that offering HCA program but few colleges offer PTA/OTA and RTA program in Canada. I hope I am able to give you more insight into Rehabilitation career in Canada. Sorry, I wish I have more info about Alberta but I don’t because am in BC. I wish you good luck in choosing your career in Canada. Best of luck.

While you study to get certified as a Physiotherapist in Canada,its possible for you to initially train as a Physical therapy assistant or Recreational Assistant, and work with that certification for a while.

But if you are interested in Adult care you will need to get certified and licenced as an Health Care Aide (HCA).Your Location in Alberta will determine the best college you can consider for HCA, you may wish to check : Bow valley College and Red deer college.

Hi there,
So the anti climax of this long almost two years ordeal is ending with a refusal due to incorrect NOC code. I applied with NOC code 0213 - Computer and Information System Manager.

This is what I should have done two years back, but I honestly thought I was on the right course. I am sharing so that it serves as a lesson to others getting into the process. Seek all the advice and counsel you can especially wherever you have doubts, even if it make you look or sound like a slowpoke.

In 2017, I spent more than a month confused about the actual NOC code for me. A first search on google for NOC code for cybercafe manager will pop out 0631 -Restaurant and Food service Managers. This is totally not what we are as cybercafe operators in general. so I spent quite a reasonable amount of time on the net and settled for NOC 0213 which had Computer and other related service manager as a sub in the title group. This seems more appropriate to me for my job title.

With description help from wonderful friends, the following are a basic summary of what I do:

Own and run a cybercafe
offer general computer services such as printing, scanning, typesetting
some software installation
sales of computers and its accessories etc
give basic computer lessons to customers/clients
have 2 employees
also offer computer related services to clients as per contracts to set up their cafe, computer units/rooms and logistics.


Over the years as owner and manager of the cybercafé the following are specific responsibilities and duties performed:

• Develop action plans and procedures for my team performance to meet operational goals and organizational objectives.

• Develop strategic and operational plans for managing, execution and measuring results of the cyber centre.

• Perform research on new business ventures and proactively identifies risks and opportunities for improvement of the business.

• Determine the budget and periodic expenditures of the business centre.

• Occasionally conduct meetings with clients to discuss system specs, performance, needs, costs and timelines.

• Execute contract jobs that involve procurement and supply of stationeries, computers and its peripherals

• Manage project teams of variable skill sets and size dependant on project scope.

• Hire, train and guide store employees in delivering excellent customer service.

• Assign rules and responsibilities to employees for operational effectiveness.

• Monitor and manage store staff/personnel by regularly communicating and conducting performance assessments, providing feedback, and setting challenging goals to improve operational performance.

• Ensure that the office and environment is maintained according to proper sanitation and cleaning standards thereby making it safe and inviting for customers.

• Assist customers when they have trouble or questions using computer systems and application software

• Perform software installations, system maintenance, backups and networking, troubleshooting on office and clients computers.

• Provide services such as printing, scanning, internet, online registrations, downloading and other computer related operations.

• Ensure that machineries, computers and other equipments are in good working condition.

• Keep accurate records of system performance, logs and inventories of the business centre

• Set Administrative rights on computer systems, program tickets and number of minutes or hours customers use the computer or internet on networked computers.

• Banking and maintaining accounting databases by entering data using computer application software

• Preparing lesson notes for students, training and teaching student/clients on the use of computers and its applications.

• Ensure excellent customer care.


Went to interview in Accra and was told that I choose the wrong NOC.

So I want you guys to help me find the right NOC for someone that own and operate a cybercafe. Its quite heavy on me, I must confess, but I am taking it in like a man. Just incase I can reapply please someone should help me with the right NOC for a Cybercafe Manager/Owner.

5, 6, 7 or more heads are better than 1 or 2.

This is not the testimony I was hoping to drop after a year and 6 months wait, but a lesson for one is a lesson for many. Never too late to do the right thing.

special thanks to Zutlin, Abubuyaya. You guys give me the courage to do this.

SOS!!!
I recieved an ITA last month. I logged into my account today and noticed that everything has disappeared. My ITA, my previous messages, everything. All that's left is my name.
Has anyone experienced this before and what is the way forward?
Thank you.

emergency2:
Pls gurus in the house. I am a medical doctor, I applied for SINP Express entry last week, while filling the form, I saw 2 NOC in demand, 3111(psychiatrist) and paramedics. So I went for paramedics.
Now ITA for SINP has landed yesternight, but I have some questions.
Should I be worried about the NOC that I picked, I picked it cos I thought they are related. I am scared of misrepresentation

paintadvice:
Good morning e fam,

I appreciate the work that is being done here on a daily basis.may God bless us all and give us our heart desires

Please I need clarification.

My wife is the PA and we are post ITA. We claimed points for sibling relationship( My wife's brothers live in Canada). However whilst uploading the birth certificate of my wife for the first time in her life we discovered a name discrepancy. I.e. Priscillia instead if Priscilla (The difference is the "i" after the L). Do you think this will pose an issue and what steps can we take to resolve this. Please note that every other information including date of birth, first and second name as well s name of parents are correct.

Secondly, also on my wife's ECA. There was a comment "The names on one or more of the academic credentials submitted for evaluation differ from the name indicated above" and upon careful scrutinization of her waec result, we noticed that Priscilla was spelt as "Prisclla" (ommission of "i" after C) please what can we do.

All my wife's documents carry the name Priscilla. She Also has the GCE and Neco result that bears the accurate name. Can we update the waec result given to wes to ensure a change of name on the ECA. Also will this cause the present ECA to become null.

Our deadline for submission of ITA is in about 2 weeks

Dear house, your input/advice will be appreciated

Thank you
