Hello every one,

I used the CRS tool and my score is around 487 which isn’t bad. This is assuming I max out the English language test scores.

Can someone recommend the relatively easier English Language exam to take? If it matters, I’m in the US.

CELPIP

Please guys.

Does wes estimate pre-degree from a reputable university?

If someone has predegree from oau and a bsc from oau, can such person claim 2 or more degree in the pool?

Should all pages of your passport be uploaded for pr application? Or only the bio data page and pages with stamps?

I had 475 waiting for ITA! and so it begins. I'm happy and scared at the same time.

Haba, pre degree counts for nothing. It's not even a certificate program. WES cannot evaluate a pre degree as a degree.

Just created my profile and I have a 436. How certain is this score of receiving an invite?

Your chances is like zero percent to be honest. I am 456 hoping on healthcare draws but they're cutting 467. I don't know if they're ever going to cut 455

Enter pool. Pnp might favour u...

My crs score is 456. I am a doctor. Will the PNP favor me and how do I go about it? Chatgpt is suggesting I get a job offer for some PNp that need job but my license and qualifications are not recognized yet in Canada so I can't possibly just get a job like that.

Hi are you really really sure about this, i mean are you talking from first hand experience?

Pre-degree does not count, so you cannot claim ‘two or more degrees.’ It is only a foundation or preparatory program. It can be used for university admission.

Pnp can favour anybody in which their skill is in high demand. Like there is a partway for doctors and nurses now. Although having a Canadian experience gives u better advantage but you can also be lucky. I also advice u try and look for ways to increase ur crs score

Its not “two or more degrees” it is “two or more degree, certificate or diploma” of which “one of the degree, certificate, or diploma has to be for three years or more, the other degree, certificate or diploma can be for any length provided wes evaluates it as a post-secondary canadian equivalent of a degree, diploma or certificate. Anyways I understand you. However, i want to ask, have you, or do you know anyone, who has evaluated pre degree before? Even if its not for express entry.

Hello, please I’m a lawyer and I want to evaluate with IQAS, I’m not sure of which of my credential to upload between, LLB or BL, can someone please assist

Did any body notice any changes with CRS. A friend just contacted me now,he said his CRS was 392 for a long time when he checked now it has reduced to 374. And his birth has reached yet. Its ome later in the year.

You guys, I'm in some sort of trouble and I need advice.

I applied for a US student visa in both 2024 and 2025 but got denied on both attempts.

Now, the US has banned Nigeria and I don't know how long it will take so I've decided to try Canada PR pathway. The problem now is, during my US student visa application, in order to "package" my application, I wrote there that I work at an organization that I actually don't work in and inflated my salary. I didn't have a job but I was advised that declaring I didn't have a job would lead to an immediate denial. So I inflated everything.

Now, it's haunting me regarding my Canada PR application. I do not intend to claim points for the US work. I currently work as a corp member and the only payment I receive is from the government.

Let me even come out cleaner. I worked at my PPA from January and left this March due to the fact that I wasn't getting paid and transport cost was eating me up. So I got a rejection letter from the organization and currently looking for a new PPA.

I was hoping to use my old PPA to claim point in case I don't get a new PPA till I finish NYSC. I was thinking if I speak to the PPA man, he'll give me a reference letter and the necessary documents I need. But I don't have a payslip or tax slip. For bank statement, payment is only the 77k payment the government paid us.

Lastly, I should mention that the amount I wrote I earn on my US application is quite high 400k+.

[b]I messed myself up. [/b]Experienced and knowledgeable people in the house should help me please.

You didn't mess yourself up. You established that you are a fraud and are still willing to commit fraud to gain an undue advantage. You are part of the problem. No one can help you.

Good morning everyone. I recently came across the express entry and it seems like something really promising. I evaluated my CRS score and it seems somewhat low (456) compared to what I’ve seen on this thread with people having wayy higher without having ITA. Additionally, I also happen to be in the list of demanded occupations, in the trade part. I have two years of experience working for US companies as a construction estimator, I have documented employment in this. Including pay stubs, taxes and pension contributions from my employer. Does this put me in a better condition than the general CRS draw? And also, I checked the last time a trade draw was done, the minimum CRS score was >500 which I think is extremely competitive for a trade draw. I also have a Masters Degree in a tech field and I contribute regularly to Data Science projects but not as a paid employment. Please how do I navigate my profile to get competitive? I started French lessons but it doesn’t seem like something I’d pass.

I used CES for mine, but I think IQAS also evaluates as a professional degree. I had the option to submit both even though BL isn't necessary, they're evaluating just the LLB.

Did he get points from dependants work experience or a one year diploma program?

Nawa oh, you go explain tire. My advice would be to get a stable job and work for at least two years to clear up the mess so that your US job experience can be properly included in your personal history. Also, if you’re not done with your NYSC, do you have up to one year of continuous employment? Except, of course, for any fabricated one. While working, you can also start learning French. Create a clean slate and do things properly, naa.

Pls guys, I need contact for TCC in Rivers state and Enugu State.. I am finding it difficult to get it from my employer. Kindly drop any contact to reach out to here. Thanks

Since UK banks don't give bank letter and we have to use bank statements instead, do we need to add a LOE to explain this? Or simply uploading the statements is okay?

Hi everyone ,

You're going to mess around and get yourself hooked for misrepresentation, first your openness and eagerness to lying and misrepresentation does not bode well for you, all members of the five eyes alliance share immigration data. Don't tell so many lies that would require many more lies to cover up.

First you need to calm down, your NYSC work does not satisfy the full time for one year requirement because camping and terminal leave eats into almost 2 months of the scheme, unless again you keep working there after your NYSC has elapsed, so you simply don't have the requisite experience to qualify for the FSW programme.

So you need to get a job whose duties tie closely to the future NOC you will use for your application, make sure you are paid, document mode of payment, payslips, taxes, work ID.

You can simply include your "previous work" in personal history where you won't be required to provide any evidence for it.

Again next time you're offered a shortcut please hesitate and consider how it might affect your future opportunities, if you don't take anything else from me take this advice. Don't go and get another "arrangée" job to prove work experience you might be required to submit bank statements and tax records. Don't run the risk of misrepresentation, don't destroy your future.

Upload both loe and the statement, this way if the agent needs clarification concerning the statement ur loe will easily serve that purpose, therefore u wont be delaying ur application because the agent might send for more explanation concerning certain inflow and outflow on ur statement, but if there is an loe, the loe would sort that out.

I've already submitted without a LOE 🙉 But I had a LOE for a lump deposit from my other savings account. I'm not worried about the inflow and outflow because it's my salary account and quite clear.

You dont have to be worried, worse comes to worse they will ask for clarification/loe.

Hello everyone,
Please, I need some clarification about the education category.

I am 33 years old and hold a Ph.D. in Education. All my previous degrees are also in education-related fields, and I currently work as a university lecturer in the Faculty of Education. I also have experience teaching in a government technical college.

How can I position myself for the education category draw? Is it only for primary and secondary school teachers? Do I need a teaching license from Canada? Do I need to secure a job offer from Canada?
