Good day everyone. Please I need information co concerning the medical exam we do after getting our ITA. Is it advisable to do I before hand to save time and I would also like to know the price. Their website is currently down. Thank you

It's best to go for your medicals after you get ITA. I am not sure they would even allow you to do it if you don't have ITA

.

Good day house. I started this PR journey a year and half ago but my profile has been closed after a year. I want to know if I get a globally recognized certification like PMP cos I am an engineer and I’m presently taking French class, what will be my chance(s) in the pool. Thanks

Hello house, I'm new here! I got the result of my TCF Canada this week. NCLC 8. I'm good to go!

I started learning French with Duolingo 2 years ago but I finally joined Alliance Francaise in OCT 2024 , I spent a little over a year getting from A1.1 - B2.4 I had to quit my job to focus on it.

I have my CELPIP, TCF. I'm still feeling euphoric, getting a reference that ties into an NOC is getting a little tricky. I have written to the HR at my former firm.

Thank you house I just wanted to introduce myself. I look forward to sharing my journey and learning how to navigate mine through contributions here. Merci à tous.

I'm 39 years old. Written ielts and got band 7. I have a masters degree in public health. I also have a three year diploma in nursing from a nursing school and have a practicing license in Nigeria. Based on this what are my chances of going through the health route in the express entry. I have three years experience working as a nurse and more than 10 years experience working as a nurse assistant. I qualify as a licensed practical nurse in Canada

Hi All,

Please I am a 42 year single father with a son living in Lagos.
What is the best strategy for me for Canadian immigration?
Job, school or express entry (marraige?)
Should i just take IELTS first adn enter provincial pool?

I've been following the theread for a while and just curious the best way to start things out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you so much

Would there be any implications for submitting a reference letter that did not have an exact start and end date for period of work? Ie month/year instead of day/month/year. I just noticed that one of my submitted references is like that and I'm panicking.

At 42, you'd need a lot for express entry.

But first, Take IELTS, learn French and also take TEF.
If you have just a single degree, take short certification exam to add a second certificate.
Calculate your CRS score to know how you'd rank in the pool.

Good luck!

In all honesty, this might be a huge burden for a 42 year old. I think people need to start looking outside of Canada as it stands. New Zealand also has a similar pathway to permanent residency like Canada. Canada is becoming tough day by day

You qualify as RN if you process your registration Alberta. You don't need NNAS too. You qualify for EE. Make sure your IELTS is General. With your profile, you are so qualified. They only need 3 years of experience.

Hi all, I’m a bit worried cos I went through the chats here. I’m a lawyer by education but not practicing (I haven’t been able to get a job). I have been working as an economics teacher for about 3 years now in a secondary school and I applied for PR. I got ITA and I have submitted my application and waiting for eligibility. I read here that applicants without Education degrees won’t be eligible and as such the NOC should be teaching assistant the rather than teacher? Pls how true is this? And if true, can I rectify this by asking for a change of NOC?

I don’t have a cert and I used the 41220 NOC. Can I retry this please

yingman:
You can use your teaching experience, but you must choose the correct NOC.
IRCC checks duties, yes, but for regulated jobs like secondary school teacher (NOC 41220), officers also look at the NOC’s employment requirements. That is why the person in the screenshot was refused, they claimed a teacher NOC that requires a B.Ed or teaching licence.

If you don’t have a teaching qualification, don’t use NOC 41220.
Use a different teaching-related NOC that does not require a teaching certificate, such as teacher assistant (NOC 43100). That one is acceptable without B.Ed and you can still use it for Express Entry.

Teaching (NOC 41220 / 41221) is a regulated occupation in Canada.

The NOC profile says:

“Employment requirements: Teachers of academic subjects require a bachelor’s degree in education OR a bachelor’s degree in the arts or sciences.”

This is EXACTLY the section shown in the screenshot of the rejection letter.

This means the visa officer can question your experience if you do not hold the minimum educational requirement listed in the NOC.

This is why the person in the screenshot was refused.

Good morning


I did a certified advanced course in social work with a masters in view. I want to evaluate my Bsc and advanced course certificate. Will it count as 2 or more certificates

Mine is like that too, just Month/Year.. Dont overthink it.

Please when was your AOR?

Profgordons:
Housemanship is paid work as the person already has provisional license from MDCN. My spouse used hers and it was counted as work experience successfully. Make sure reference letter covers the pay, working hours and duties.

Please how did she go about the duty part?
I have 1 year housejob experience and 2 years post HJ experience

Align your duties with normal GP duties.

Good morning guys,
Please I need advice.

I am a registered nurse with less than 1 year experience and with only Bachelor's degree.

My husband has 2 years experience, Masters degree in engineering.

I have been applying for jobs and everything looks positive.
However, our CRS score prediction is not up to 400 if both of us writes ielts.
FYI: I have the chances of getting a job that comes with PNP.

1) Can my husband be the primary applicant, and if I get PNP would that cover both my husband and I? Or

2) Can I apply as primary applicant even with less than 1 year experience or

3) I should focus on PNP non-express entry. (It takes 18months for BC PNP from what I heard) How true is that

Thank you

If this is the only issue then you don’t have a problem honestly. You may dm and let’s see how we can put heads together.

Good morning; Pls can someone guide me on the best route for me. I’m an experienced banker, 30 years old but will be 31 this year, degree holder in Electronic Engineering. What’s the best for me to leave this country. Apologies if I’m dragging anyone back

Take a short certification exam to add a second certificate to your degree to boost your CRS score. Take the English language test and join the express entry pool. You can learn French to add a second language if you can.

Good morning, I did a 1 year advanced diploma course in social work, can it be evaluated with my Bsc as 2 or more certificates?

I'm not sure. Check on the WES website to see if they evaluate that.

Please i have a sibling working personal support worker . She is hoping to get ITA using her work experience NOC 33102 . I am hearing confliting info that she needs to have 6 months full time experience another person said Full time One year experience. I dint see the number of year or minths on the NOC website . please whats the correct info in regards to this . Please question 2 Also so someone working two JOBS . The Health care is of course full time and primary NOC and I know a reference letter is a compulsory requirement wld they also need to tender reference letter for their other part time or contracts job as well or they can just put that in their history. Is any form of evidence needed to be aubmitted post ITA for all the jobs thats in the history . Thirdly, they started working Last year November in this health care primary NOC at a hospital. I told them they cant create express entry profile yet until they have completed 6 minths work experience . I hope i am right i dont want to mislead them . Thanks so much for your input as I await

Please can I ask someone that has been working for three years now Two years and half in IT and going to 6 months in health care . when creeting her expeess entry she choose theee year work experience . However the NOC which will give her ITA she has used just 6 minths . There has been arguement that she isnt suppose to ise her total years of working as work experience that she is auppose to just say 6 minths because the NOC to give her ITA she has worked just 6 months? How true is this Please .

Hello, I need thoughts on this please

I am in the pool with just almost 2 years foreign work experience in one NOC. I want to confirm that I can claim points for another job in a different NOC. Also, if the business has closed, how can I prove my work experience? I have offer letters, I can get bank statements and maybe the payslips for the period.

*Edit- I proceeded to add my other job experience in a different NOC and my points have increased. I'm unsure about being able to get a reference letter for this job. What are the other alternatives to prove my work experience?

Good morning

I have a 3 years paid work experience in healthcare care but have been freelancing for some years now. Does the 3 years count in EE?

You need at least 6 months of continuous, full-time (or equivalent part-time) work experience in a single occupation listed under the healthcare category within the past 3 years.
If your work experience is up to 6 months or more and within the last 3yrs (counting back from today), then you're good. Note that it has to be among the healthcare occupation listed under the category.
