In other news, soon and very soon, ITA be falling on some folks while some anxiously waiting for Friday’s Ielts result. Some AOR, some PPR, some COPR… Whichever stage we are, God’s grace be with us all.

Bankole1790:
Lol....Must it be the saminicates?or a statement of result would do it.Thanks

I agree, especially at bolded. We don't have any reason to be rude to one another. We can always redirect newbies to page 0 without making them feel stupid.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another....

Glad to see this talk is coming up, I was afraid the thread was losing one of its core essence few pages back. I perceived some “elders” consequently went quiet.

I just thought I should post this; it may not be relevant to majority of us here but i feel there may just be someone who this post could benefit.

It's about getting into the Skilled Trades in Canada.

Cheers!

It's about getting into the Skilled Trades in Canada. From my little research, there's an increasing shortage of people in this category and some predict that there would be around 1 million labour shortage in the next decade or so because there are fewer people positioned to take over from the ones getting towards retirement. Skilled trades range from electrician, plumbing, welding to wedding planner, cook, baker etc. There over a hundred of them.

I know most of us here are very educated and as Nigerians, we prefer to use our hard earned degrees to work even if it's in an area we didn't really choose. I'm also aware that there are several of us who would really love to be doing something different from our line of study if only the pay was decent. Some of us have natural inclination towards more hands-on occupations (skilled trades) but are sitting in the office because of financial security.

Many of us would have to sit some licensing exams or even go back to school upon landing Canada in order to practice. But for people like me who feel we're built for something different but under-utilizing our potential in the corporate sphere, I suggest you give a thought to pursuing a career in the trades irrespective of our BSc and Masters or PHd and do something more fulfilling.
There are basically 2 routes to trades- study in a college OR enrol as apprentice. In actual fact, both routes will require some classroom training but there's a difference. While the former is shorter and ends up in a certification, you only start acquiring experience after completion. Also, it's costlier in that you pay tuition for a few years (depending on program) and do it fulltime or part-time.
As for the apprenticeship approach, you don't pay for training, rather you get paid (some even higher than Canadian national average) and simultaneously acquire work experience. It also involves classroom training for about 2-3 months yearly in an assigned college or institute. Certification can take up to 4-5 years depending on trade but one would have acquired industry experience and built a good network along the way. I root for this approach as it offers one both employment, experience and certification at the same time rather than engage in a survival (mostly unrelated) job while studying/schooling for certification for few years. There are also some grants by Canadian govt to PRs and citizens who enrol in apprenticeship.

Skilled trades in Canada is not a bad idea and some earn as high as $100k CAD/yr or higher and even earn pension upon retirement.

So guys, sorry for the epistle. I just thought to share some info perhaps someone may benefit.
Cheers!

Paying your fees is the last stage of the e-APR after which you will receive confirmation of online application transmission in your CIC account. Ensure you have read through your forms thorougly and uploaded all document before paying fees as you will not be able to edit your submission afterwards.
All the best.

Please does anyone have contact for ICAN transcript. I heard because they have gone to mark exam script transcript processing will take a month. I dont have a month to wait for ICAN oo.

Algbenguze:


IMO, if WES has already evaluated your ACCA, which proves its authenticity, i do not think CIC gives 2 about current membership based on one subscription. They have 'better' things to worry about. Just upload your WES report with whatever doc ACCA issued you and move on as if nothing has changed.

Canadianfly:
For those waiting for FBI PCC

Just outta curiosity, I called them yesterday and was told they're working on requests received July 5th. Anything after that will be in 4-5 weeks. I just laughed and told the guy they're trying. Smh
