Bonne année 2026 🙂

You can try switching careers to one of the occupations eligible for the category based draws or explore PNP.

Entry to Canada is becoming more difficult with each passing day so I would advise you to act fast. If the above options don't work for you, you can explore the study route but that is much harder than learning French.

Je vous souhaite le meilleur.

Thank you so much for your honest response

amnotapervert:
If your current CRS score is not at least 500 or around 480 for healthcare professionals and French is not an option, then it is very hard to make it. it is extremely hard even PNP is now very difficult.

even people that came in as students without a long term plan are crying

PR numbers are looking pre 2015 times

Thank you for this. In other words, healthcare professionals stand the better chance

if you have 480 with healtcare yes you stand a better chance

Emmaesty:
It's quite expensive and I also think it's not as straight forward as French

Please correct me if I am wrong but most people who studied in Canada are eligible for PR under CEC and PNP. Some students who studied the right courses in the right provinces can easily get PNP but those who are unable to get PNP, will have to apply for PR under CEC draws.

The challenge here is that some of them don't have high scores for CEC. The CRS for this category is around 521 or so and some can't meet up with it and have to go back home to get foreign experience or learn French to qualify for French based draws.

This why I said it's harder than french.

With study route you just have to be sure of what you are doing. Main issue is most people want to come to Ontario and within Ontario, the big cities. People need to look elsewhere.

(1) There’s no single perfect way most people use a mix of these: Bank wire transfer (most straightforward), Fintech options (smaller amounts) I personally use lemFi https://lemfi.com/en-ca/ and Carrying cash You can carry up to CAD 10,000 (or equivalent)

(2) Canada has Very limited, educational grants (not loans) but some options exist its best you Contact the financial aid office of the MBA program directly that’s where real money comes from.

(3) Legit apartment rental platforms (beyond FB & Kijiji) Use : Realtor.ca (very legit, agent listed), Zumper, Rentals.ca, Viewit.ca, PadMapper, Condos.ca (for condos) please Avoid paying deposits before viewing

(4) I personally use Indeed.ca and LinkedIn for Job search it will take you to the companies page to apply and as for CV You will ask a friend that already has a job to use their own and edit with your exprience I could have shared mine but I have a lot of Opps on this platform hahahahah

Thanks chief, for the bank wire transfer, please how is it done?

I can't do it before I travel since I won't even have a Canadian bank account by then, so how do it do it from Canada when I land? I'll also look at LemFi

Please your CV share to my email chief, please. You can remove your personal information, Google searches are not helpful.

Your Nigerian bank (preferably a USD account) knows how to do wire transfers.

In my case, I had trusted family in Canada, so I was able to send money from Nigeria to Canada before I entered the country.

But I carried half in cash. I can’t send my CV, sorry.

I already have a lot of opps on Nairaland.

I paid someone to prepare my résumé in 2019, and that’s the same format I’ve been using. I’ve only updated it as I changed jobs over the years.

Ayrastarr:
Sorry, this question might sound a bit dumb.

but how do one get into social works without a degree in social work /sociology

I am not really sure but you can explore teaching careers as well. There were some education draws done last year.

Get someone to use a credit card to pay for you.

Open a grey account, verify it, fund your naira account, swap your naira to dollars, create a virtual credit card, then use that card to pay.

Good day house,

I need advice from those with experience on Canada Express Entry.

I’m planning to apply for PR under Express Entry. I am married with children.

My questions are:

Is it better to apply with my wife and children now, or
Apply alone and sponsor them later after PR?

I understand that family members must be declared even if they are non-accompanying.
I want to know which option is safer, faster, and has fewer risks of refusal in the long run.

I’ll appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through this process or has solid knowledge.

Thank you.

Hello, I applied under the OINP HCP stream on September 12 with NOC 33102. At the time of application, I had completed two years of part-time work at no fewer than 15 hours per week. My understanding was that this should be considered equivalent to one year of full-time experience, and I submitted the same reference letter accordingly.

However, I received an ADR stating that equivalent part-time experience means either:
– working concurrently in multiple positions for at least 30 hours per week for two years, or
– working in one position for at least 15 hours per week for four years.

This has left me confused. Has anyone encountered a similar situation, and how was it resolved? Is this an error from the reviewer?

Please has any December AOR gotten BIL?

Good morning everyone, please I need some few guide here on this Canada express entry journey, I am a newbie...help a friend.

I am 40 years of age and married with 2 kids...what's my chances on CRS score?

I have OND,HND In computer science, low grade... any hope if I evaluate it?

I also have a 2 year's work experience as a paramedic Nurse and also function at the A&E Unit but as an auxiliary coz I learnt on the job in a private lab facility, not qualified or certified. I went to hustle.

I am a certified fibre optic technician, my certification is from FOA and currently working here in Lagos and very good at it, I guess I'm in my prime age.... Hence d need to work smart and make good fortune for my kids.

I have a sister, married presently in Canada but not yet working, so no too much cash to spill around, although I want to use her presence over there to boost my point on the crs.

I wish to change career if the need arise, but medical is preferable coz of my previous knowledge it will hasten my level of comprehension. Is it a good option?


House please with this my small profile, what is my chances using this Parth of express entry to enter Canada.

All suggestions is welcome na 2026 b dis


Many thanks

Use CRS tool to simulate your scores. If your partner/spouse is much younger, you can explore the option of making him/her PA.
Due to your age, you can consider learning French to boost your score.

Unfortunately due to your age, your chances of migrating to Canada via the express entry health care route is quite slim. I ran a simulation of your CRS score with the assumption that you and your wife max out ielts and siblings point, your CRS score came to 435 which is very low. The most recent health care draw was 476.

Your most realistic option would be to learn and write the French exam so u can apply under the French language category.
