I tried the EE I scored 375 with my Bsc and 2yrs work experience though with a low score in Ielts 5.5 the NOC I actually wanted to apply is in NOC C.

What do you guys thinks like there are no much chances for NOC C as I mainly see NOC A& B with much request

Try PNP's

Cancellation is accepted only 5 weeks to the test. My date is August 19. I'll see what can be done though. Every kobo counts in these post ITA days, considering the way Naira is falling against the CAD like a pack of cards.

@yimiton...u should be able to cancel ur registration for ielts na. Kpatakpata dey will collect part of it. Check d Details dey sent after registration.

Hi..
Good morning to you.
Can you kindly direct me.
I have a transcript that is addressed elsewhere not to IQAS or WES. Should I use tear it open and scan it.
And can I omit transcript and only scan and send my degree result only.
I only know that transcripts is sealed and sent via mail to a particular address by my almamata.(as I have always done before now)

Pls help with clarification. I don't seem to understand this.

Don't open the transcript at all. Leave it sealed. Do a cover letter and explain that it was addressed elsewhere and it's an herculean task to get it from the school. Send it to ur verification body directly. If sent to wes, they will verify from the school. Remember to pay for verification at ur university....
I've done this for a friend with unilag transcript.

I wish it were possible! I wonder if I'd have been able to do any better than I did the first time though. Don't worry, keep studying, I'm sure you'll crush the rest.

labelbybee:



Congrats!!! come and borrow me your brain ooo since you dont need the scores anymore been studying every day..Its not easy man but am determined. This canny dream must come true.

Thanks! True @champagne. Let's have a grand party when we all arrive Canada. Nairaland reunion in Canada, first quarter 2018.

bigbroda:


Congrats @ Yimiton and all ITA recipients. Hope u haven't registered for another IELTS exam? Dat money must be used to pop champagne o, just invite us and we will be there.

Guys, expect lower cut off marks in subsequent draws.


Salam!

XX01:


We have the same score. If I had known it will take so long, I would have asked for a remark of my writing and maybe that 0.5 would have taken me to 458. But I still have hope. My husband's scores should kick in from next 2 weeks but I hope to get ITA before then.

Na 69th ray of hope get me now.

Congrats @XX01 I hope you've received the golden email.

Hello house, please I need your help re proof of funds. My husband and I are both very entrepreneurial although he has a paid job. This means money is always going in and coming out and we also use credit facility. He has a salary account that has regular inflow from his salary but we also have a credit card tied to that account so somehow, the account never balance. There is also a loan on the account. We can put the amount we need to show into it right now but it won't cancel all the credit on it. On the other hand, he has a GT account that used to be his salary account but it has not seen a lot of credit recently. To my real question, if we put the cash we have into the GT account and then get the statement, will that fly?
We've been racking our brain on this....help us o, e jo . We have the money but won't it be suspicious that we are putting in bulk money all of a sudden?

It seems like a draw just happened. Received ITA just now.

Yayy!!

I am no expert but Determine your eligibility by checking your CRS score, you will need to write IELTS (test of English exam) at British council, you will need to have a good score. You need to also have your certificates evaluated by WES (or another body that i don't know the name). The highest qualification is what you should evaluate. Once your certificates have been evaluated, then you can get in the pool by submitting your profile, then wait for a draw. You might get an offer to apply to a province for a nomination, which you can choose to do (or not). I don't know if it is good to apply for a nomination or not (JJC). We got invited by Ontario to arrive but while we were getting our documents together for that, we got our ITA so there was no need anymore.
If you go through, the thread from beginning (i wasn't able to read everything), you will find a lot of useful information.
All the best.

you are welcome. So get moving with the steps already!

Good evening house,

Please can a NOC code be selected for job titles requiring a certification, despite not having one. Eg. NOC 3212 Medical Lab Technician (Medical laboratory technicians/assistants require completion of a college certificate program in medical laboratory science), without having this certificate program just a BSc (Microbiology/BIochemistry), though the job responsibilities are a close fit?

Thank you

Congrats to all ITA recipients n @40manlappy.

Just submitted my passport to DHL today so I can now start counting my 3 weeks wait...

NOC is selected based on your job roles and responsibilities so if it fits with yours then by all means use it. Notwithstanding u having a BSC in Micro, hope ur job responsibilities fits with that of NOC3212 also

What a glorious CRS cut off score. I spent close to 6months on 433 with my first EE profile searching for ITA but it wouldn't come

Congratulations to all our new ITA holders, yimiton, dammiehar, XX01, et al. I know you guys expect to get speedy processing of your eAPR to PPR and so I've decided to help you with a few advice from my own experience. My timeline from AOR to PPR is just 46days which is quite impressive and something I'd wish for you guys to replicate. Now my advice to you goes as follows. Brace up its gonna be a long read

1. Getting ITA is a big deal but it's not so much of a big deal if u don't package your application well and it gets rejected. So use only 24 hours to celebrate dis ITA after which you have to settle down, snap out of the euphoria(you are not in Canada yet ) and focus on submitting your eAPR without making any costly error that may mar your chances.

2. Even though we know that ultimately d divine controls the speed of every application yet you must do your utmost best in packaging your application carefully. As much as you can, get the documents in d format specified by CIC. Start now to disturb your bankers for the reference letters and your employers for the work reference letter. From my experience, you save d VO time and make their work easier when you submit documents in the recommended CIC format and they reward that with a fast processing.

3. PCCs are very vital and you should know by now what PCCs you need to provide. To be on the safe side any country you have spent a cumulative period of 3-4 months from when you were born till now just start now to process your PCC from them. VOs r very unforgiving with PCCs and sometimes they interprete the laws around PCCs in ways we can't truly understand. If you are like me that have never enter international flight before (I.e no travel history) then u are safe but for all the ajalas in the house, the chicken has come home to roost

4. Do not be in a hurry to get AOR, thereby rushing to submit. Take your time to ensure that you include every document in your checklist and in the right file format. Always cross check that your uploads are still intact even at the point of submission. It's not really by AOR but by how fast you move from AOR to PPR. Some July AOR peeps are already with PPR while we still got some April AORs languishing in IP1. So don't let the race to get AOR get to you.

5. Avoid ADRs. If it means waiting till the final week of your 90precious days it's safer to wait it out and submit your application with that document you know will be requested. ADRs have a way of unnecessarily delaying the movement of your file. The best time to send CIC documents is before AOR so be proactive enough to prevent anything that will make then ask after. For example if you know you have been refused visa to some country, nothing stops u from filling a schedule A form proactively even before it is asked.

6. Use your LOE very well. The LOE is a powerful weapon that you must use very well to your favour. If you do an unbiased self assessment of your application, you will note the areas where your application appears to be weak. It's almost likely that the VO will come to this same conclusion as you. That's where a good LOE does wonders. You can use your LOE to politely explain and provide further detail to the VO. What u r actually doing is subtly allaying his doubts about this weak part of your application. This helps the guy to make a favorable decision on your case. The trick to writing a good LOE is being honest, polite and MOST IMPORTANTLY attaching a document to buttress your point or as evidence. Also you can write as many LOEs and attached documents to each even though there is one placeholder for LOE. That's where your PDF merger comes in. Merge all the LOEs into one single file and attach.

7. Raising CSEs is a bad, bad thing!Avoid anything that will also make you to start disturbing your application midway after AOR by having to raise a CSE. Examples are getting married, adding a baby etc. Though most times these stuffs are beyond our control but as much as you can try to avoid entering such situations because it will delay your application. If you know you want to marry that man/woman then make the decision and get married already even before you secure ITA. I've seen some people's application getting delayed because they have to include spouse. If you r expecting a baby and your due date is before the 90days post ITA period,its best you wait for the child and include him before AOR. This exactly was my case. I had ITA Apr 12th and my wife's EDD was May 12th. I decided to wait for the baby. I made every arrangements for his passport with the immigration agent( the guy thought I was crazy trying to do passport for a child yet unborn ), but alas baby came early on May 5th. My son got his passport May 12th or so and we got AOR June 19th.
So my point is as much as we can control these events let's try our best.

8. Finally just keep praying as though everything depends on your prayers but not your work and try not to be overly anxious. Who anxiety EPP sef.

I wish you guys a smooth PPR journey from here on.

Hello,

Someone wrote something about statement not being necessary about a week ago. If you guys can transfer to the GT account and get a letter in the exact format required by CIC then I don't think you would be needing a statement showing your account history.

Someone else got his in just 9days from the same Accra VO. You never know dear, u never know

Wura27:

Thank you Wura 27. I was initially worried about the certificate program. The NOC code fits it very closely. Thank you.

Hope you get a speedy response....it's all a waiting game, isn't it? This must be God's way of teaching me patience!

Nice post @freeradical

Just one or two things please, DO NOT PUT WHAT YOU ARE NOT ASKED. If you don't have anything to explain then please you DO NOT need to write an LOE.

Also, DO NOT put unnecessary PC, or any unnecessary information you were not asked because it could even cause unnecessary delays.

"Oyinbos" are very straightforward while we Nigerians tend to like to do oversabi.

Be detailed and concise.

Lastly, be like @freeradical, don't be like Wura27.

All the best to you all!

Very helpful, thank you. So are you saying if i have travelled to the UK for 2 weeks at different times, over a period of 10 years, then I need a police certificate from the UK?
