@Irondome God bless you.

I noticed you answered those concerns I raised with an easy apt. Please are you in Canada? I asked because I do wish to speak with you on phone if that will be convenient for you.

I noticed you said I should get my MSc degree evaluated, but I think Canada and US have the same GPA system. However, it will be easy for me to get my MSc degree evaluated, than getting my Nigerian cert evaluated. So I want to know if Msc Cert covers or overshadows my Bsc degree. I want to know so that I don't get into the unnecessary loop of trying to get my transcript from Nigeria, which could be very painstaking.
Thanks

irondome:


Yes, your US masters overshadows BSc. Trying to get the 2 degrees (MSc and Bsc) evaluated would only slow you down. Evaluate only your Masters

Good, thank you. I have to see what I can do about the fund. But, when do they ask about the fund, is before ITA or after ITA.

beyunce:


Nice. Good job.

Dear Seniors,

Happy New Year!

My plan has been to use my wife as PA for EE due to her favourable age and she is into paid employment. She has taken IELTS twice but, didn't make all the bands, she is not feeling comfortable to retake it. We have both evaluated our certificates through WES.

I am self employed, into sales and marketing of petroleum products, I would be 44 years at my next birthday. I had taken IELTS before too but, didn't make all the bands. Now that my wife is reluctant to retake IELTS and it is the only requirement preventing us from entering the pool, what do you advise me to do?

Thanks.

zandora:


Unfortunately your age will only fetch you 5 out of a maximum 100 points and it would be more difficult to prove your self employment status especially if you aren't operating under a registered business/company . You can try any of the PNP's but count Ontario out since you're definitely not going to score 400 or above. Your best option would be to plead with your wife to really read and retake the IELTS.

zandora:


Canadian dollars.

irondome:


All documents are required after ITA, with the exception of ECA and IELTS (as you have to fill in their report numbers during profile creation). Invariably, your first step into the process would be to get your ECA and IELTS test done. After which, you create your profile and wait for ITA. While waiting for ITA or scouting for PNPs, you can start gathering other required documents that might prove difficult to get (e.g FBI report, POF, reference letter of your skilled employment, etc). Please note that at least one year of skilled employment in NOC category (A,O, B) is required to be qualified for FSWC, and must also meet the 67 point criteria.

Use the CRS tool below for an estimation of your CRS point.

@Irondome,

Just a little more clarifications, (sorry I ask too many questions - this is confusing)

The LMIA I understand can be gotten by one entering the Job bank, if i am right, how can I get into the job bank.

I've a contact in Canada, can I ask them to arrange an offer letter for me, you know, just to prove that I've a job offer? What do you advice.

Lastly, do you've any book or material, for me to ace the IELTS exam.

Thanks.

It's nice reading this thread with the valuable information in it. However, I have just discovered that all the provincial nominee programs are currently closed maybe temporarily or permanently. I just want to confirm from those who know the program if I am correct or otherwise. Also, could the closure be temporary or permanent. Thanks

Using Canreach is a waste of money, I'll charge very less

Much of what you have said here is hard to understand. What is One Account Policy and, how does it affect your institution regarding sending your transcripts to WES. All you need to pay for WES is your atm card. You get on their website and fill necessary details and provide details of your card. They will notify you of successful payment and give you a reference number which you will ask school to quote in the cover letter for your transcript. Also, there's a Transcript Refuest Form you will print from WES which you will fill part of it and give your school to fill the rest and include with your transcript before sending it. I don't see any hard thing here except you have issues with how you do payment transactions.

You can choose as many provinces as you like but, Google the province in Canada where your intended occupation is doing well in and that can guide you in your choice of province

Phemmie72:
Thanks for your prompt response.

Kindly advise me on the best IELTS materials I can use to prepare my wife for another test.

Happy new year guys, pls I need help. I recently got married and I'm yet to do change of name. My husband is the principal applicant but we plan on using all our accounts collectively as pof even though the required sum is available in one of the accounts. My question here is that, can we both apply as a couple as we have different surnames on our accounts? I used my maiden name to register for the ielts because that's what I hav on my passport. Can my marriage certificate surfice if I upload it on th EE site? I am currently evaluating my degree and preparing for the ielts.

jojcanada:
I still use my maiden name and we applied together. We used a joint account which has both our names.

WoodcrestMayor:
Is there a chance that a PNP can get one in faster thru EE?

deesmom:

Please anyone that has been able to successfully apply for the SINP today should please help a sister out .

Wish y'all a fruitful 2016

I want to advice those who have gotten ITA to ensure they package their documents, especially pof very well so they don't get rejected. I've learnt that if your application is rejected, CIC will only refund your RPRF money, they won't repay your application fee which is 550dollars.
