Hi guys, my sister submitted her EE application on April 8th but still hasn't received biometric request. Has anyone experienced delays in biometric request? It's kinda worrisome.

Hi everyone. I am in the process of assessing my degree with IQAS. My university has sent out my transcript electronically over two weeks ago yet IQAS hasn’t sent a mail or updated my profile to show that the transcript has been received. Is this a general issue with IQAS? Please has anyone used IQAS in the past month or two? What’s their timeline like? I’ll appreciate any valuable information on this. Thank you.

Good day, could someone please give me an idea of how long it took their pr card to come out

For most applicants, the PR card usually arrives within 2–3 months after landing and completing biometrics, though timelines can vary depending on IRCC’s workload and your location. Some people have reported getting theirs in as little as 6 weeks, while others waited closer to 4 months.

The key is to make sure your mailing address is correctly updated with IRCC and that you’ve completed all post‑landing steps. Once approved, the card is printed and mailed automatically.

IQAS can be slow with updates, it’s not unusual for transcripts to take 3–6 weeks before they show as “received” on your profile. Many applicants have reported delays, especially when documents are sent electronically. The best step is to confirm with your university that the transcript was sent to the correct IQAS email and then give it some more time.

That said, while you’re waiting on ECA, it’s also worth checking if Federal Skilled Worker is really your best pathway. Some applicants discover they have stronger chances through provincial programs or employer‑driven streams, even before their ECA is finalized.

Hello Fam, Please i need your advice,
This is my TCF result CO - 524, CE - 446, EE - 9, EO - 10, and this is my IELTS result L 7.5, S 7, W7, R 6.5.
With these results can i create an express entry profile for the French category? Although i have scheduled to rewrite TCF in 2 months time. i have already done ECA.
Please advice.

You can create an Express Entry profile now since you already have your ECA and IELTS, but your French scores (CE and EE) may not yet meet the minimum CLB 7 required for the French‑speaking category. Retaking the TCF is a smart move, stronger French results will boost your CRS and make you eligible for French‑speaking draws.

That said, don’t limit yourself to Federal draws alone. Depending on your NOC and work experience, you may actually have stronger chances through provincial programs like BC PNP (which prioritizes certain occupations), or employer‑driven pathways such as the Atlantic Immigration Program. Exploring those alongside your French retake can give you a clearer picture of where your profile fits best.

Please can I also be added to the WhatsApp group? I got AOR in May.

I appreciate your review on this. I have already created an EE profile last month ( my score is way too low). But my NOC is 12102 ( >4 yrs of experience).
Meanwhile, i have already registered for French retake next month and studying hard towards the required NCLC 7 with God on my side.
Nevertheless, for the BC PNP etc, am i to register differently for it?

Since you already have your EE profile, the French retake is definitely the right move, stronger scores can open up the French‑speaking draws and boost your CRS. But don’t stop there.

Provincial programs like BC PNP, Ontario HCP, or even employer‑driven routes such as the Atlantic Immigration Program often give candidates with specific NOCs and work experience a clearer path.

Each program has its own registration process, separate from Express Entry, so yes, you’d need to apply directly to the province if you want to be considered.

Exploring those alongside your French retake ensures you’re not relying on federal draws alone.

Many applicants discover that their strongest pathway isn’t the one they first expected

Hello all,

Please the RFV email is the same as PPR right? I’ll be sending my documents to the vfs Lagos as well right? Thank you

Really! Just getting to know this. I will surely do an extensive research on this and apply accordingly. Thank you very much. You're one of a kind.

Glad it helped. There are other routes people often overlook, and once you start exploring them you’ll see which one fits best. I share more details regularly, so feel free to check where I usually drop updates.

I am in the process of verifying my academic qualification through WES but have a surname miss-match; my correct surname
should be *Eno-Ekhator* as in all my other documents including my passport but the one on all my school documents is *Enoekhator* so I'm about filling in my information in the attached I don't know which to use now. Please can anyone advise. Thank you in anticipation.

Please I need help.. I'm a skilled worker with over 10yrs of experience. In my 30s... I recently completed my HND in Mechanical Engineering (PTI).. I need clue and help on how to secure a skilled worker opportunity

Thanks for sharing your background. With 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience and an HND, you’re already in a strong position. To properly assess your skilled worker options for Canada, a few key details are needed:

Your exact job title (NOC classification depends on this).

Whether your work experience has been continuous in the last 3 years.

Your available settlement funds (IRCC has strict minimums depending on family size).

Your IELTS results (language scores are critical for Express Entry and PNPs).

Once these are clear, I can run a free profile assessment and guide you toward the immigration pathways that fit your current profile. Many applicants discover their strongest route isn’t the one they first expected.

Please house, how can I order gcms notes !!

Use the one on all your school documents ( even though it is the incorrect one) You re verifying academic cresentials not travel passport. WES will follow and recognise only the names officially written in your academic credentials.

For WES, the safest approach is to enter your surname exactly as it appears on your school documents (Enoekhator) when completing the application. Alongside that, upload your passport or another government ID showing the correct spelling (Eno‑Ekhator).

WES regularly deals with name discrepancies, and as long as you provide official proof that both versions refer to the same person, they will accept it. If WES flags the mismatch during processing, you’ll have the chance to submit a short explanation or supporting document through their communication portal. This way, your evaluation won’t be delayed.
