Etfash:


I am expecting Sask nomination soonest. In the spirit of not putting one's eggs in a basket, I am rewriting the IELTS too. The annoying thing is, last December, OINP invited me to apply within 45days but I lost the opportunity on funds ground. Now, SINP is almost here, after saving all manner, Naira crashed.

Again, I won't be deterred by this... It will give God greater glory.

Good morning everyone. This is really bothering me. I worked with a company as a sales and purchasing assistant manager between 2011 and 2013(skill type A) . Although the company isn't functioning anymore. But presently, I work as a cashier, (which is skill type C).
I intend claiming points for my previous job, is that going to be possible? And besides, my previous company isn't functioning anymore,but I can manage to get a letter from my former boss, stating that I have worked with the company before.
Please, do you think this will work? And is it possible I neglect the work I have now, as it is just a skill tye c, which can't be used for EE purposes...

JesusDWay:


The previous work experience will work, you cant use the present one as it doesn't qualify

Hi optionese,
First of all I want to say again dt IQAS is d only evaluating body that understands foreign law degrees, concludes d evaluation in record time and is cheaper.
For ur first question...IQAS recognises dt Nig has direct entry programmes for Law and it's four years. I'm thinking it'll be written on ur transcripts dt it's a direct entry programme u came in thru. But to be on the safe side you can attach ur dip degree or request for ur transcripts and also explain to them in a written note.
For ur 2nd ?....yes your age, work experience and ielts are d determining factors. If ur less than 30 or at most 32 you should get good points. If. U hv 3years work experience and try to score atleast 8777 in LRWS in IELTS your scores should be well over 450 atleast.
If u v any queries...don't hesitate to ask.

Please how did you apply for the OINP? Are you based in Nigeria or Canada?

Etfash:


I didn't apply, OINP invited me to apply. They are not sending invitations at the moment. A minimum CRS of 400 was required to get invited.
Caveats:
1) Statement of intent (Must be convincing; aided by connection with Ontario)
2) C$1,500.00 non-refundable application fee
3) Inability to apply for other PNPs with the same profile until OINP decides.
4) Extended processing time relative to Sinp.

I am in Nigeria.

Hello Guys.

I need help here. WES sent my documents to UNILAG for verification. Is there anything I can do to hasten things up. I have been to UNILAG but they said once they receive the verification, they will respond. Is this verification via email or POST? Please advice.

AyaSunday:


Thanks a lot. I believe your statement in No. 1(connection with Ontario) means you have a relative in Ontario or what other convincing intent can one have? Please enlighten me.

Good day House, I want to start by saying thank you all for you contributions in this forum, I joined nairaland with the sole purpose of understanding fully want is required in moving to Canada.
After two week of reading through this tread I can say I understand how the FSW /EE system works i.e.
1. Getting an international passport, if you don’t have one
2. Registering and Sitting for IELTS
3. Sending your Educational credentials to approved ECA(WES, MCC, PEBC…etc) to get it scored and making sure all other documents like NOC code, contact info, work experience..etc are available
4. Creating your EE profile on CIC website. Noting that your profile must be completed within 60days of first entry otherwise your profile will be deleted.
5. After completing your EE Profile and if your total score meets the 400 pass mark, you will be selected into the EE Pool of candidates.
6. If you don’t have a Job Offer or Provincial Nomination you will be given a ref number for registration on the Job Bank site (Registering and getting a Job offer gives you an additional 600 points to your already 400 points making 1000) NOTE: If you don’t register for Job bank within 30 days of being in the EE Pool your EE profile will be deleted
7. One should get an ITA (Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence) if /she meets the pass mark and all other requirements.
8. Within 60 days of receipt of ITA he/she is to fill and submit application for PR. Documents like Police report should have been made available prior to receipt of ITA so as to meet submission deadline.
Please I stand to be corrected if the above step is wrong.
Moving on, I intend applying for FSW next year 2017, second quarter, but I will like to upload my profile here for the house to access my profile and suggest possible strategies to increase my chances. Also I ask the house to please help with a financial break down of trying this FSW/EE system.

Occupation: 1 year working as an Internal Auditor / Admin officer in a Private Telecom servicing firm(Current place of work) and another 1 year working as an Admin Officer in a consulting Firm (Previous place of work). Making 2 years general working experience.

At Etfash and all. my wife is in the same shoes as teewhy3, WES sent her Certificate to OOU for verification since June 1(the email notifying that her Cert has been sent came in June 1). She went to OOU to push it today and she was told they have not received it. It's 4 weeks now and we are surprised, could it still be in transit? What can we do? Can we tell WES to resend it or to dispense with the verificatn. Pls help. Thanks!

WES sends verification by post. Unilag may not get it until weeks later. But, once they get it, they respond via email.

Continue calling the Records office for updates.

Amen!

From what i can see here, you score 64 but you need 67 to qualify. Also, you may be single but if you have a child and you indicated you have one, you will need more than 15000CAD. Even if you rewrite IELTS to score 8 in Listening, your score will still only come to 66 and as such, it appears you may not be able to make Express Entry as other areas where you could have gotten some points to jerk you up aren't exploitable, namely spouse IELTS or close relative in Canada.

The only thing i'm thinking can work is if you are able to adapt your Pharmacist work experience to the job roles of a Purchasing and Supply Officer with NOC 1225, so as be able to use it for SINP OID. You must however have nothing less than 4years work experience to qualify.
