Newmum0615:
Can everyone take a seat please? It’s going to be quite a read.

It’s my turn. grin

PPR has come to the glory of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.


It has been a lonnnnng but rewarding experience here on this thread and in this EE journey. I have learnt a lot through months of research and waiting. If you had told me anything about relocating from Nigeria before the second week of August 2017, I would have rolled my eyes at you in apparent indifference. I was never one for living abroad. I love visiting on vacations, buying plenty stuff and coming back home. However, one day at the end of the 2nd week of August 2017, I was in the car with my husband, on our way to work and I remember vividly how I stumbled on Testden while browsing through the internet that morning. I decided to read a little and I just became fascinated with the practice texts and solving the questions. A colleague of mine who moved to Australia last year had been harping on about migrating, but I had no such plans. Hubby and I are doing quite well here, and I am also so close to my parents that the thought of staying so far away from them kept me from taking the leap.

Initially, practicing the IELTS questions was just for fun but I had a light bulb moment one day while still recovering from a surgery that almost cost me my life in a Nigerian hospital. A supposedly ‘big’ hospital. Why not take the test and work towards getting outta here? I asked myself. Hubby didn't agree at first. He is a believer now.
I think if Part 4 of this thread closes with this announcement, no one will ever complain.. A very Big Congratulations @Newmum0615 . You deserve all the accolades (Worldwide) . Thank you so much for your selflessness and contribution.

Evening all, I just checked my result.
LRWS - 8, 6.5, 6, 7.5
I have done my evaluation..
Is this a good result?
Any link where I can test my CRS score?
Hi you,

For the EE process, you are better off with scores of at least 8,7,7,7 in L,S,R,W respectively.
You can simulate you scores using the following link
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

However, you are better off taking the exams again

All the best

Hello Family..
Please I need help with my Redmi5A.

The phone fell on tiles and the screen is just having a mind of its own. I went for repairs but there is no replacement screen. Please is there anyone with this in stock. I am not ready to let the phone go as it is barely 4weeks old.

Can anybody reply please?

Is it a good plan to start the process after or during my MSc?
You should Google CRS calculator to get an idea of your current CRS score which will help in answering this question as there is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL answer.

The Work experience normally climaxes at 3yrs for foreign experience.

I couldn't wait so i did fixed deposit. Why not try that. I even got the FD certificate the same day i requested for it

There are two types of tbills: Primary and secondary.
If you missed out on the primary auction, request for secondary. It is always available everyday, just that the rate might be a bit lower.

Another option is fixed deposit.
The upfront interest is of the essence.. I'll go for Tbills. Thanks for the response
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 4 by newbie18: 2:34pm On Jun 01, 2018
einsteino:
You can do a money market mutual funds. Stanbic IbTC and Axa Mansard have competitive rates for money matket. You should get a marginally higher rate than Tbills. however unlike tbills interest isnt discounted, rather its credited on a daily basis. You are also allowed to liquidate your investment at anytime.

To answer your question, it isnt misrepresentation if you move your cash to an investment after submitting POF. However if an ADR for POF is issued, you would need to show documents to evidence that you had the cash and simply invested it. I started out with TBills, tenor elapsed and got ADR after reinvesting it, i simply submitted bank statements highlighting the credit alert on maturity date, the debit on date of reinvestment and of course the Certificates of investments.
Thanks boss... I really appreciate

Hi, please see my comments below. Hope it helps!
Thanks so much for your input.. I have decided to go with the cash statement for now and go for Tbills afterwards ( the upfront interest will help to keep body and soul okay till the golden mail comes through).

Hello Everyone..
I have been a very silent follower(guest) of this thread and the information I've gotten has been so invaluable.

I missed out on the Tbill auction for yesterday, as bank didn't process it in time and I'll have to wait for the next window(2 weeks time�) and for some reason, all my attempts at secondary market auction have proved futile with the bank.

Please can I go ahead and use the cash bank statement to submit my application (targeting this weekend), while waiting for the next auction.

- would that lead to misrepresentation?, or
- can I state in LOE that the cash will be turned to TBills but I couldn't wait as my ITA deadline was fast approaching?

Will really appreciate your responses.
