Starting with the last question:

1. Travel history doesn't give an edge in this journey, rather it gives u more work as you'll need to provide Police Clearance Certificate for every country you've (both u & hubby) stayed for a cumulative 6 months within last 10yrs or since 18th birthday, whichever is latest.

2. IELTS is mandatory for principal applicant. For spouse, it's optional (but advisable as it can add up to 20 points).

3. You both go ahead with WES but pls evaluate both your BSc and OND as it gives more points.


In order words, evaluating Bsc and Msc gives more point than evaluating only MSC right?

Let me clarify. I was employed to do something else but started another role because of an urgent need which is what i used to get a reference letter not that i falsified any info. I have performed this role now for years.

Don't mail me to ask about work reference letters. Why not ask the question here so others can weigh in?

No. Gives same point as evaluating only MSc.

You'd get more points than BSc if you combine OND or HND to the BSc. Combining any other degree to MSc will not increase points awarded to just MSc

In hierarchy;
BSc
BSc and OND/HND or ACCA (obtained from a certain year I think) or OND and HND
MSc
PhD

@Algbenguze: please i have some questions:

*does working in a bank give you more edge and recognition than working for a one man small company in the FSW and also when you finally get to Canada to look for job(same job description in the bank and one man business) would they prefer the bank?

* please explain this 60/100 stuff, when does it apply?

*please there is also a place on CIC site i learnt the maximum experience for point is 6 years, kindly differentiate that with the 3 years maximum

Thanks

sorry for the jamb question

1. With respect to the application process, working in a bank doesn't give u an edge. In fact, I think banks are even more rigid with things like reference letters which play a key part in your application. As long as the one-man business is genuine, it's okay. A bank may give a more impressive employment profile though.

Regarding 67/100 FSW thing. It works like this:
For a skilled worker applying to Canada, there are 2 point-based assessment grids every candidate is measured against.

First, the FSW points grid, which determines eligibility. To be eligible, you need minimum of 67 points out of 100 to qualify. It's here that 6 yrs gives max points for work experience.

Second, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) grid which is mainly for the purpose of ranking the already eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool. The highest ranked candidates, based on CRS points, get invited from the pool in periodic draws using a cut-off point. It's here that 3yrs gives max points for work experience outside Canada.

So in essence, eligibility is key but not every eligible candidate will receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence- Only those who make the cut off.
I hope it's clear now.

I don't believe this is true. Employment doesn't have to be ongoing or current. As long as it was in last 10 years.

You've worked certain period with a reference to show for it. That's what I think is needed. Not being in present employment.

Please peeps,

For IELTS (Listening), is there a Transcript (written text) of the conversations/Monologues that would be played?

I'm asking because I saw a sample Listening question paper that had a Transscript section after each conversation/monologue. Although, the prepping materials online that I listened to didn't provide such transcripts.

Thanks in adv.

If that were the case, there would be no difference between Reading and Listening and people would get identical points for both. So, to answer you question. No, the transcript is only provided for practice purpose only.

PefHouse,,

I think there's need to prevent misinforming you. Firstly, have you taken the eligibility test? That's the first thing you need to do.

Though you may need a max of 3 years to increase your express entry CRS score, you do need up to 6 years of work experience in order to boost your eligibility score under FSW. Minimum required in this case is 1 year continuous.

So, my advice: get all the reference letters you can get. For Company D that doesn't want to give you reference letter, that shouldn't matter. But you do know there are alternatives if you are unable to get a reference letter? You could have a supervisor write one and then attach some other docs to it. This has been extensively discussed on this thread. But you can check here for more details. Exhaust your options before giving up on Coy D.

However, if you are unable to get anything for Coy D, you should still be fine. Take the eligibility test while factoring out Coy D. But please get reference letter from company A. With your references from Coys A, B, C & E, you should be good to go.

Finally, you should know that each of your work experience is only relevant if it belongs to Skill Type 0, A or B. You can learn more about that here.

Regarding gaps, you have already been well informed. Gaps in your work experience can be moved into personal history and should have no effect on your application.

I know but why give yourself high BP over something you cannot control. As for me and myself, Na siddon look I dey so, I estimated the whole process to take about 6 months and only after then will I start to get worried.

To answer your question, BG IP2 indicates your file has been successfully transmitted by the CIO and your case has been opened at the VO.

Hellp cochtrane,

How does this apply to the score one recieves from the CRS tool? While using the tool, I only have the option of 3 years or more. When completing the EE application, will there will a further option to select 6 years or more? I used to think that the score received from the CRS tool is reflective of what your score will be when you apply under the EE.

Yes, while using the CRS tool you only have the option of 3 years. Express entry, the platform on which they decide whether you should get an invitation to apply or not, has 3 years as maximum number of work experience years. This is where you create a profile.
However, you are applying as a Federal Skilled Worker. In that case, if you have 6 years work experience then you earn 4 more points than if you have 3 years experience. This is towards scoring 67 or more / 100. This is actually what determines your eligibility under the Federal skilled worker program.
People who are applying for the Federal Skilled Trades (another program entirely) also need to submit their application under express entry. So, express entry is like a platform for everyone. You get? They also have different requirements to meet under work experience. They need two years of work experience as minimum, unlike those in the FSW who need only 1 year experience.

This is why you need to take the eligibility test first. If you pass it with only 3 years of work experience, then you are good. Means you don't need the whole 6 years then. It's only 4 more points after all. 4 more points towards getting a 67/100; not 4 more CRS points.

You surely need a PCC even as a dependent if you stayed in any country for six months or more (straight or cumulative). Please go through this link https://www.acro.police.uk/Police_Certificates_Online.aspx or you may just hold a bit for more informed response.
