I finally got FD on 24th April
and PPR on 27th.
Submitted passport on 28th
Collected my stamped passport and ppr from vfs on 30th April.

No adr or pfl and I was very anxious. You can check out some of the questions I was asking on this thread. Some good people responded both here and on my dm. Some scammers also rushed to my dm to try some tricks but I clocked them immediately. My appreciation to whomever opened this thread and gave very detailed information, those who have been answering questions too and those who have been keeping things going here.

Please is there any thread about life in Canada for a new PR?

Congrats.

Ask in living in Canada thread.

Proof of funds, that I won't be able to sustain myself there

Did you submit POF below threshold ?

To put it plainly, her medical degree from "Nigeria" alone is only good for getting back into practice.

In the eyes of employers in Canada, it does not mean anything (putting it plainly) by itself.

Based on her work experience, she would have gotten transferrable skills. Those are what she can use to fit into any field she can fit into.

Ability to communicate epathetically and care for patients of diverse populations is what allows doctors from Nigeria fit easily into Care (Support worker) roles.

If she was a head of a hospital, highlighting her managerial skills could earn her leadership roles in related fields.

If she did a lot of research, and has significant publications to highlight her proven research skill, there are opportunities in research in many organizations (pharmaceuticals, etc.).

A Medical degree alone would not get her to be considered to teach. Nonetheless, if she was a Medical Doctor who was also lecturing in a Medical University, that experience could be highlighted to explore teaching opportunities.

In Canada, it is more of your transferrable skill that determine what opportunities you can explore. Not like Nigeria where the focus is more on Paper Qualifications.

Sadly also, your experience from Nigeria will sometimes be looked down on and doubted, as sadly, yahoo boys and our politicians are not doing us so much good in terms of credibility; it is not uncommon to get some comments in Rural areas stating how they heard Nigerians fake their degrees, including medical degrees (you will not blame them for thinking that way, when they had to watch our president's Chicago University degree being called to question).
Your wife will have to prove herself to get the respect she deserves and that ususally means starting at the bottom and working her way to the top.

The settlement organizations in various provinces will do a good job in helping her explore her transferrable skills.

My advise if for a Doctor who loved medicine, she will not find joy / fulfillment doing anything else. Imagine being a consultant physician or surgeon from Nigeria and someone who is yet to finish high school is your boss. Not in every work place though. That tells you how low one sometimes would have to stoop to get cash to keep the family going to later conquer (doing jobs that do not require even highschool certificates).
So, best to help her work her way back into practice as soon as she can.

If she did not enjoy medical practice and is looking to explore other options, then the sky is her limit. With her smarts to survive medical school in Nigeria with the plenty saddistic lecturers in Medical Schools at different stages, she can excel in any field. Data analytics / Medical Informatics in an area I have seen Physicians excel in. Good prospects (https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Health-Informatics-Salary-in-Calgary,AB). Also, people who did not like medicine or do not want to go through the hassle of getting back into practice just yet, and do not mind pivotting into other health care related fields, Advanced Care Paramedics is quite good for those who like the rush of emergency care and it pays okay (https://www.glassdoor.ca/Salaries/calgary-ab-advanced-care-paramedic-salary-SRCH_IL.0,10_IM970_KO11,34.htm).
Nursing used to be overated, but they get overworked for not so much. Not as lucrative and fulfiling in Canada as it is in the US (just my opinion and that of some who have explored this route and regret it). Sadly, all these routes, require taking up student loans and going back to school / study.

I wish you and yours the best. And I pray God guides you to make the best decision for your family.

Hello,i want to ask for someone.Is PGD in mental health possible in Canada for someone who recently completed 3 years diploma in a Nigerian Nursing school certified as an RN. What is the career opportunity like in Canada after completing her course. Thanks

Good afternoon everyone,

I would like to confirm how long it takes to hear back from IRCC after submitting ADR. I submitted my ADR on the 30th of March and till today, it is still showing we are reviewing the additional documents provided. Please is this normal because I am very worried.

Hello House..

AOR April 14 (FSW Outland). Currently 2 weeks in and no biometrics request yet.

Is this still within normal processing time based on recent timelines?

Would appreciate feedback from anyone who has ever been in my shoes before

Have you gotten BIL now? I’ve got similar AOR to you

Not enough, you only get 100 points for friends, but for close relations 200 points

Please i need help
I had 18 million in my first bank account as POF and i wanted to send an e-statement to the embassy, the bank charged 7000 from the 18 mil and the closing balance reflected 17mill something. Will my application be rejected cause i said my mum paid in 18 mil to my account.

BabatundeGPD:

Thank you so much I noticed too that close relations had more points than friends. I still went ahead to submit my EOI

BabatundeGPD:

My total points was 332 even when I added points for close friend in Manitoba (50 points). Having an ongoing employment alone in Manitoba gives 500 points. The PNP route isn't as easy as people portray

Hello everyone,
I submitted my application for PR over 8 months ago and I got ADR for IMM 5604 which I submitted over a month ago. I am yet to get FD
I am seeing even those that submitted this year getting ecopr and I am worried. How long does review of ADR take? I have ordered gcms notes but not gotten it yet
Is it normal for the application to take this long?

Na just prayers we need oo. Did you get any points deduction maybe for study or work outside Manitoba? But normally some streams doesn't depend on the points.

Have you checked your tracker? Are you an inland or outland applicant?

Prayer works but you need to put in more work. Why don't you try French?
