MrKong:

Maybe you chose manager in agriculture NOC which is not part of the 3 NOC in this category. Check the NOC in this category and see if the job duties align with your job description, then you can change to it if it does
I guess. But I have removed the Manager and left with the farm supervisor NOC. Meanwhile my spouse which I added has NOC draw was drawn on. We wait and see what happen in the next draw. Thanks for your response

Hello Everyone.
So I decided to start my canadain immigration journey this year. After much research, I wrote CELPIP. Got 11 in listening, reading and speaking and 10 in writing. I have my WES evaluated for M.sc. I am in the pool CSR score is 430. I want to apply for PNP. Eligibility for Manitoba is 70 but no connection. Abeg I need advice or help. What is the way forward. And you see TEF; the only thing I know in French is bon jour. I don't want to go that route abeg.

Landed a professional job in Calgary, Alberta Canada with an SOWP - NOC 1.

Does anyone know how easy it is to get PNP in Alberta with his job offer/experience, before my spouse completes her 2-years program, and which stream?

That’s probably why… the tie-breaking rule was june 12… meaning that they selected people with the score that entered the pool on or before that date. I may be wrong but that’s what I think sha

That's not the meaning of tie-breaking please.

Tie-breaking will come to play when two people with the same CRS score are in the pool, in which case, the first person who entered the pool will be selected. Cheers!

Hi please can I get to know more about the Kenyan process from you. I sent you a private message

Lotusgoddess:


Hi, sorry I'm just seeing this. Everything took less than two weeks.
To send to Kenya, we (WhatsApp group) send our documents through a dhl agent and we paid 58k to and fro.
For transmission fee, I paid 5120 Kenya shillings (26,666 naira) for a family of two. It's 2560 for a single person. I made this payment using barter by flutterwave to vfs Kenya account:
Account name: VFS (Kenya) Limited Canada Holdings
Country: Kenya
Currency: Kenya Shilling
Bank Name: Absa Bank
Branch: Barclays Plaza
Street: Loita Street - Nairobi
Bank Account No: 2037342214
IBAN No: 2037342214
SWIFT: BARCKENX
Chips UID / Sort code: 03

You can also use a dom account or if you have someone in Kenya to help you make payment, better. We (WG) have a guy that help majority of people in the group to make payment.

Hope this is detailed enough?

In the grand scheme of things, this is barely important. Worse case is to do another medical before traveling, it doesn’t invalidate the PR visa.

You can’t qualify for work experience points until your spouse has completed studies, they want their full money for the school fees.

I think PA was misinformed in all of these, there is no such requirement as buying a ticket. It would not influence the issuance of the visa. All you and PA can do now is to patiently wait.

Yes if you are providing one. If you are unable to provide one, a previous reference will work with appropriate explanations and the reference should reflect IRCC’s expectations

Hi, pls I’m in the Uk and I want to pursue the Canadian EE. I have just finished my masters in cyber security. Is there anyone here who has started this journey from the Uk? I have just about 2 years work experience working as a carer whilst studying. Do I qualify? In a nutshell, it’s the process same? How does it work from here.
Thanks
Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by Vousmevoyez(f): 10:21am On Oct 01, 2023
Hello, I’m not in the UK, but you can start this process from anywhere. So assuming you’re a single applicant with a masters, 3 years work experience, under 30 years of age, and ace the IELTS exams perfectly, you have a CRS of 481. Google “express entry rounds of invitation” to see what the current CRS trends are.

Since you have only 2 years work experience, that means you’re already not getting the highest possible points for work experience.

However, you work in tech so you might just be lucky to fall into the in-demand tech occupations which just started receiving priority for express entry. Google “express entry category based draws” and see if your tech occupation is listed there, if it does, then maybe whatever points you might lose for age if you’re above 30, from your lack of three years work experience, low IELTS scores, and if you’re not a single applicant might not matter.

Go through page one of this topic to fully understand the entire process…some of which include the impact of your spouse on your CRS if you’re a married applicant.

There’s so much to read on throughout this journey so be prepared to read, read and read.

Goodluck!

My questions will be:
1. Did you work full time as a care giver? You need to have worked full time to claim work experience.
2. Did you have previous work experience in IT before starting your Masters, this may account for work experience

Didn’t work full time as I was a student. Started full time as a carer after studies whilst hoping to get a job in my field.
I don’t also have work experience in IT. I was running a my business in Nigeria. Though I have done unpaid internship on IT

Not necessarily. Not many employers have the time to address letter to a specific person. I only got a default letter with : To whom it may concern..and i submitted along with my payslips and offer of employment. It was accepted.

The employer just needs to reference your work history, your start and end dates, your job description and your salary if possible.

What is your job role with the civil service? Put it there.. Just think outside the box and focus on you and the role.

I don't know where you guys are getting all this info from but thousands of Nigerians have gone to this same canada and many of them were once civil servants.

As long as you have proof and refrence for anything you fill in, i think you should be fine.

Study and digest page 1. As well as canada.ca and cic.gc.ca

You'll see there that part time work experience may count, as can your previous self employed job in Nigeria and work experience while you studied, if it was within the last ten years and was paid.

Page 1 post 3 speaks specifically to this.

People usually say this for NYSC but if you really worked for a government institution e.g. Federal Ministry of Finance, then it is what it is. List it as government. I don't think you'll have a problem. You may include an LOE to explain what the particular government parastatal does. I think it's people who have military or a security agency like DSS that go through long and rigorous background checks.

Hello Everyone.
So I decided to start my canadain immigration journey this year. After much research, I wrote CELPIP. Got 11 in listening, reading and speaking and 10 in writing. I have my WES evaluated for M.sc. I am in the pool CSR score is 430. I want to apply for PNP. Eligibility for Manitoba is 70 but no connection. Abeg I need advice or help. What is the way forward. And you see TEF; the only thing I know in French is bon jour. I don't want to go that route abeg.

For AAIP https://www.alberta.ca/alberta-advantage-immigration-program. Canada work experience adds points to your family CRS. Play around with the CRS grid on page 1 post 2. Some couples create 2 separate EE profiles, one with wifey as PA and other with hubby.

Also see Page 1 post 8 to read up on PNP and exploring other provinces where your NOC may be in demand. Learning French is a cheaper option than study route that many pursue in terms of cost and time to completion.

If you wanna claim points for work experience for express entry, it has to be full time. Not part time. And you can't even claim points as if you dont have enough experience in that career. Pls. Go back to page 1 and read carefully.

Just to clarify for general information.
Part time counts for work experience

Do you think it'll be like New Brunswick Information Session where you are given an Invitation to apply after attending such session and possibly given 600 points afterwards?
I really hope it is so, so that even if I don't secure a job, I know I have that one on the side.
