I don't have family in ontario, but I have friends there. Can my friend serve as strong tie? I studied computer science and have 3 years experience in network infrastructure which I guess it's in demand in ontario.
How do I go abt registration wit professional body in ontario? Just thinking of a way to find strong tie. Thanks for ur time. .. I appreciate



JesusDWay:


There's no time frame given, I think your strong ties to Ontario or how you can convince the immigration folks there may determine if you will get it. Things like registering with the professional body in charge of your choice occupation over there, job applications you have made and demonstration of your experience in the line may convince them to nominate you

Hello house, I am new to this thread. Please assist to enlighten me on the following question:

I have a Bachelor of Agriculture and Master of Science in Agronomy...but no work experience in this field. I actually have 1.5 years working experience in a bank as a mobile money support officer... how do I know which category I fall under and do I stand any chance.

Your chances are dependent on the following factors - age, IELTS score, number of years of work experience and the classification of your occupation in Canada(the qualified ones must fall under Skill Level 0 or type A or B), and evaluated equivalence of your qualification.

One and half years work experience might not be helpful overall although it qualifies also, one doesn't know if your occupation falls under the acceptable class as I highlighted earlier(use the link I provided for someone in the previous page to find out).

You may use the link below to assess yourself:

Lol Uncle JesusDway, the truth and the light... This matter wey you see so na long term plan o...I'm just strategizing hoping it'll materialize by God's grace.

On a serious note, the ONLY lady I have always loved would be due for NYSC mobilization/call-up November, 2016. My earnest dreamz and prayer is for her to bag her PhD just before 30 or @ most 30. We've been godly friends (because we two are genuinely saved/heaven-bound, by God's grace) for the past 5 yrs. She's super intelligent and I so wish she reach the peak of her career quite on time. She would be enrolling for her Master degree, immediately after Nysc.

To this end, I want to call a family confab when the chips are down to see to this;

(1) sponsor her and my twin brother's (who is currently in Nig. Law School with a GP of 4.0 plus in her last two years) for this express entry aluta to go meet aunty Zandora in Canada to get their PR status.

(2) These duo lovely sisters-in-Lord (because they both know JesusDway) would now come over to their home country (Nigeria) and have their dream marriages consumated, God willing.

(3) They would off course follow the laid down rules to sponsor us as spouses, as it then would be to Canada (while the duo pursue their PhD in Cd with lesser school fees, funding etc. So that I would just be Nairalanding from Toronto post work in our beautiful home.

Oh God, these and many more are my heart desires in Jesus name! Amen!!!!!!!

Good and great people of Nairaland, this is my justwise permutations. shocked

Apparently, it's a long term thing however, I must let you know that there's no PR without then having work experience so, you need to factor that in your feasibility studies(how they will combine Masters and working a type of job that can give them leverage to apply for PR. Besides, you guys need to pray and be firm in your decision to be with each other otherwise, circumstances more especially distance and naivety about relationships as I see it in your post, may make situation change(it's a practical scenario I'm giving you, trust me) so, for me, much as you can plan things the way you have touted, I will rather suggest that you apply now instead if you are qualified. You both will sort the marriage thing out later.

That's my Noblealuu grin advice as a journey companion on the way to heaven smiley

Hi Canada landers and other aspirants!

I need clarification on this; what is the possibility of a landed immigrant in Canada who came back home to consumate his/her marriage statutorily taking back his lawfully married spouse to Canada? How can this be done pls.

For example, assuming Zandora decides to come back to Nigeria to marry me, what are the standing rules required of Zandora/JesusDway to embark on this conjugal venture?

Lol.....Whoever is coming back to marry you will do her job to know what it requires to bring you in. I think it's called spousal visa and for each province it seems the duration and modality varies. Go to www.cic.gc.ca and find out about it but, since it's Zandora you are hoping to come back for you, you need not worry your head, she's proficient enough to know what to do which by then I think you would have woken up from your pipe dream grin

Hello @Zadora and other gurus ,

I am interested in the express entry and would like to know my chances at a shot at it .

I am working for a telecoms servicing company with 5 years work experience . This 5 years has transisted from a technical role to a business role . I have worked in 4 African countries . Married and I have a son .

I have a plan of starting masters in Canada by fall of 2017 and my family joining me afterwards ( Plan A )...

Please what are my chances with the skilled work permit considering my profile and what is usually the duration for one to be successful ?

Thanks guys !

@Zandora,I will be applying as a single applicant and my challenge is on the pof. I have less than N50, 000 in my account at the moment but I intend to borrow money from my uncle and keep it in my account up to 6 month before I fill my express entry information. Please could you advise me the best way to go about this so that my application wont be rejected


kunle16:

thanks zandora
Please see below.

1 $11,931
2 $14,853
3 $18,260
4 $22,170
5 $25,145
6 $28,359
7 or more $31,574

Therefore for a single applicant you need $11,931 Canadian which is equivalent to N1,779,260 as at today's exchange rate. You need to show 6 months bank statement but the money doesn't need to be in your account for the full 6 months. However any large inflow into your account within the 6 months needs to be explained and backed up by the proper documentation, therefore it's advisable for the funds to be in your account for the full 6 months to avoid complications.

Any Veterinarian, please advice on the best means of evaluating transcript with the EAS,
since the only professional credential evaluation agency are for the Medical Doctor and pharmacist.

If through the other agency, meaning the process is quite different from the Australian system which one needs a certified Australian veterinary board exam for licence.

Hello house,

Wifee and I will be emigrating in August this year. She is pregnant and will be putting to bed at the end of September.
I wish we could go earlier but it is not feasible.

I understand there is a 90 day wait period before the issuance of the health cards. What can I do? I need help.

Thank u.
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by 40manlappy: 10:44pm On Feb 21, 2016
Good evening. My wife and I are in the pool with scores of 376 and 367 respectively. We have tried to improve our scores by rewriting IELTS but we still didn't hit the 400 mark and there is no PNP in sight yet. I am 37 while my wife would be 33 in few months time. Her NOC is 1114 while mine is 0122 though I have edited it to 4163.

Since we are determined to relocate to Canada along with our children, we are proposing that my wife should apply for an M.sc in Accounting in any province considering the following: affordable cost of living, possibility of me securing a job easily with an "spousal work permit" (hope I got it right) and affordable child care for our children.

I learned that she would be eligible for a 3 years work permit after the M.sc and there would be possibility of getting PR subsequently. I also learned that I would be eligible for a work permit while she is studying for her graduate programme. We have 9 and 7 years work experience respectively.

My wife's desire is to join the academia since she has completed her Msc in Accounting at a Nigerian University but we feel that starting all over would enable her to acclimatize before pursuing her Ph.d in Accounting and at the same be a less-stressful way of immigrating to Canada.

What do you think of the above proposal?
Does it look realistic?
Would I be eligible for a work permit during the period of her study and the anticipated 3 years work permit that follows?
What other ways can you suggest apart from the above?


I would really appreciate the input of our gurus@JesusDWay, zandora, superchi, dupyshoo, Tola73, irondome, Etfash, other gurus

Yes there's a 90 day wait but that's for some provinces. You've got a few options though:

- Land in another province such as Alberta whereby the health insurance starts immediately then quickly register so that your wife receives coverage, then move to your intended province later. However note that when you move to another province you'll have to register again with that province and wait for the coverage to start according to their stipulated waiting times.

- Land in the province that requires a 3 month wait period and take out a temporary private insurance policy that'll cover her for 90 days, however beware that most private insurance policies don't cover pregnant women.

- Land in your intended province then pay for her care out of your pocket, this is the most expensive option.

- Let your wife give birth in Nigeria before you land. The problem with this option though is that you'll have to inform CIC to add your baby to your application and this might take a lot of time to process.

Find below a list of provinces and their provincial health care wait times :

Alberta: Immediate coverage after arrival
Ontario: Coverage after 90 days
British Columbia: Coverage after 90 days
Manitoba: Coverage begins on the first day of the third month after your arrival. For example, if you arrive on August 29, August will count as the first month, with September and October as the following two. Therefore, in this case your coverage would begin November 1.
Quebec: Coverage after 90 days
New Brunswick:Coverage after 90 days
Nova Scotia: Immediate coverage after arrival
Saskatchewan: Immediate coverage after arrival

Firstly it is doable but the problem is that she already has a Master's so CIC will be skeptical as to why she wants another Master's again. My advice is for her to apply for a PhD instead to maximise her chances of being successful with the student application. Yes you would be eligible for a spousal work permit.

Thanks zandora for the insight.

What if we are silent on the Msc acquisition? I am thinking this way because she completed the programme as a full-time worker on a very tight and hectic schedule and no doubt, Canadian graduate programmes would be very different the Nigerian system. So I felt starting over would allow her to really be a research student to the core. Besides, commencing as a Masters student should be cheaper for a start, right?

Why the rather expensive student route when you qualify as a skilled migrant? You can easily migrate without Masters if you consider province sponsorship routes. Ontario would send you a letter of Interest with a CRS score above 400. Furthermore, with your professional, it's likely it may be in demand in Saskatchewan province; you may want to have a look at that province as well.

With a good IELTS score(LRWS 8,7,7,7) by you and your wife, and corresponding ECAs of your degrees, I don't think polling 400 points would be that difficult.
