Dear Seniors, please I am filling my EE profile at the moment. I have my WES for the Master's Degree which happen to be a Canadian Equivalent. Whilst filling the profile, I was requested to put "secondary and post-secondary periods of study for eligibility for Express Entry", please advise if this would include my Master's degree (for which I have an ECA) and Bachelors degree (for which I have no ECA) OR just the Master's degree alone, which is the highest, for which I am claiming points and have an ECA. Thank you. |

sinie: The Point is lets just be fair in our dealings. ECA is still stuck at verification level IELTS yet to be written and i don book medicals for November, then i dont even bother to call to cancel and free up that date when i wont need it again. This example is not too nice... But if you are realistically expecting ITA soon please dont hold back book in advance and prepare to be there. Let everyman consider his case and do what is conscientiously right to do. Je m'appelle MEDICALS 22 Likes |

My great family. It has happened! The joy I feel right now cannot be described. My chest o! I remember precisely on the 28th of September when; iaatmguy said, "aswearoGod but i wonder why those announcing type short post and term it "LONG POST ALERT". Mods please lets enforce PPR announcement to be 1,000,000 words". iaatmguy, i hope say you don fix that keyboard? Lol. 30 minutes later, Ifeoma77 replied saying, "I second this motion jare! Every time I see "It's PPR, Long post alert", e dey sweet my belle. We want more". Tojued (talking to Expectantbee) said, "Congratulations! Eagerly awaiting the full gist! Like was suggested today, please make it as long as possible". So please, abeg, biko, ejo, make una permit me to sweet Ifeoma belle, enforce iaatmguy's PPR-announcement-with-1-million-words policy and make it as long as possible for Tojued by declaring this announcement a #LONG FUNNY DRAMATIC POST. Enjoy! Somewhere in Lag where I was jejely on my way to work this morning, I saw Broda Shaggi and McLively and this happened..... Me: "Hello Broda Shaggi" Broda Shaggi: "ah! Ore mi! Ow are you? Any queshun for d day? Oya......hit me!" Me: "Broda Shaggi! I got my PPR this morning!" Broda Shaggi: "Shuo! Na queshun be dat? PRP? wetin be PRP?" Me: "No Broda Shaggi. Not PRP. It is called PPR. The PPR is the email an applicant receives.......". McLively: #interrupts rudely: "My friend! He ask you what PPR is and you have take 2-way flight to Ottawa and come back to Mushin. What is PPR? Simple question! PPR means Passport Request. It means......" Me: "Oga. The question was not for you". McLively: "Ehnnnn...but...but I choose to answer it". Broda Shaggi: "LOL. LMAO. LIMFAO. Ogbeni! You neva answer my queshun. I say wetin be PPR?!!" Me: "PPR is Passport Request. Also commonly known as the Golden Email. It is an email an applicant receives which indicates that their Canadian Permanent Residence application is successfully approved and it notifies the applicant to submit their passport at the visa centre for onward processing. ". Broda Shaggi: "Golden wetin? Canada? So how me sef go take enter Canada? Becos dis naija no be country, na state and capital. As dis country dey like dis, dem suppose give dis country visa make e travel, make e go see e mates - Canada, Dubai, America, make e go see how dem dey do. Oya show me d Canada way na?" Me: "Ok. The first step you need to take is to calculate your CRS, then do your ECA (with WES or IQAS), then write the IELTS, then....." Broda Shaggi: "You dey smoke abi? E be like say ironic bomb dey your head abi? All dis acrimony wey you dey mention....." Me: "No Broda Shaggi. It's called 'atomic bomb' and they are called 'Acronyms' not 'acrimony'. Also, you have to first do some research on Canada Express Entry. You can go to Nairaland for more info.......". Broda Shaggi: "Nairaland? No be those pipu wey dey say make newcomers go read from Page 1? Their fada!" Me: "Yes, they are good people. Also...." Broda Shaggi:"Also kini? If dem born anybody well, make dem tell me say make i go read from page 1. E be like say fufu wey don spoil dey una belle." Me: "But Broda Shaggi. If you want to be a permanent resident in Canada, Nairaland can help you achieve that. It is a great and wealthy source of information and inspiration. There are great and kind folks who are always willing and ready to help.

Broda Shaggi: "guitar wetin? Elfman is where? shey na people name be dat? People wey dey for dis our naija?" Me: "No, it's not their names, it is their monikers". Broda Shaggi: "Monica? No be woman name be dat? Dis Ifeoma77 wey u mention, na woman abi?" Me: "my broda, me sef no know if Ifeoma77 na woman. Ifeoma dey use our head play ludo". Broda Shaggi: "so you don tell all these moniker your timetable?" Me: "No Broda Shaggi. It is called Timeline, not timetable. My ITA was May 9, AOR was June 13, MEP/IP1 was June 26, IP2 was October 9, ADR (Updated Bank Statement) was October 10, ADR submitted same day, PPR mail came in at 4:17 AM today (October 16), Visa Office is Ottawa, AOR to PPR is 125 days, Single applicant". Broda Shaggi: "Oyaaaa!!!! Tell dem! Because Oyinbo say what? A Express Entry is a game changer for the illegal immigrant for d moniker and the continent of Nigeria and the diaspora".......#doing the broda shaggi pose......."Taink u!" Me: "illegal immigrant? I am not an illegal immi....." Broda Shaggi: #interrupts and does the broda shaggi pose again. "i say.......taink u!" LOL........................ Thanks guys for all the invaluable information, helpful tips and encouragements. I love the spirit here. Such an atmosphere of friendly and pleasant people with positive mindsets. The collaboration, support and eagerness at which everyone helps each other is amazing. God bless you all. Most importantly, I thank God for seeing me through every step of this arduous albeit exciting and interesting journey. My announcement would NEVER be complete if I don't pray to God to immeasurably bless my altruistic and selfless brother @Topsmamen whose constant encouragement piqued my interest to try Express Entry shortly after he sacrificed so much for me by paying my tuition fees to go for my Masters in the UK in 2015. Prior to that, Naija dealt me a heavy blow as I was going through harsh times at my place of work and I had lost so much weight and looking pale. I decided there and then that since I wasn't born to suffer, I needed to throw my punch back at Naija. My brother once saw a picture of me looking frail and malnourished and he was quite stunned like "Haba! This is too much na. We need to get you out of Naija. Let's try the UK". I was glad he read my mind but I had no idea how I could single-handedly leave the country and fend for myself (with a meagre salary and with not much to go on). The plan was that I would do my best to settle in the UK because at the time, we presumed that my degree and experience in Health and Social Care would fetch me a job and I would settle in the UK (smh....how ignorant we were). Friends and family residing in the UK also encouraged me to try the UK with promises of helping me with a job and settle in the UK (I should have just 'yinmu-ed' at them but my desperation to leave Nigeria made me believe and swallow their story). After completing my Masters, village people somehow made me go back to Nigeria and the hustle continued. It got worse, I went into making cocktails and beads to survive. I eventually got a job at a hospital with a salary of 40k and to make matters worse, my salary was never paid on time. At this point, my brother was too broke to help the family as he had just spent his entire life savings on my Masters. Till today, I do not know how we managed, but God kept us. Fast forward to 2017 and he came up with the Express Entry idea. His words were "why don't you try this too? You have a Masters degree, age is on your side, and all you need to do is write the IELTS and evaluate your Masters degree". I felt bad that he had spent a lot of money on me and we ended up not achieving our ultimate goal for me to settle in the UK so I told him I would wait till things got better as I could not put him through this again. He explained that my going to the UK was not a waste as I had achieved a Masters degree and that as a matter of fact, the Masters degree would help boost my CRS points and this made a lot of sense. We had no idea how we would get funds to start the process considering that a lot of money would be involved, I felt totally helpless but after several discussions with him, and knowing that he also had no idea where the money would come from, we held on to faith and we decided to take it one step at a time starting with WES. This decision was made on May 5, 2017. I remember that day vividly because that was the first time I learned of the province - "Saskatchewan". I took to the internet to do research on Express Entry and Canada, I looked at several internet images and read up about Canada and before i knew it, I was having a crush on Canada. Basically, plans for my life became Canada-focused. I spent a great deal of time reading about my new Country and the provinces/territories: their culture, history, employment, skill gaps and socio-economic development. My research was quite deep that I even got to learn that Nova Scotia is well known for their fish and lobsters....lol. I imagined myself in Canada already (Yes, I can dream not just for Africa, but the world too). In November 2017, I stumbled on the Part 2 of the Canada Express entry on Nairaland and page 1 caught my attention. God bless Zandora, 40manlappy and GlitteringStar for placing such detailed and vast information in a properly arranged manner. God bless you all. The infamous Page 1 is not a punishment as people think, it's actually quite an interesting read. The people who have created this life-changing threads have done tremendously well and deserve praise. I mean, it's a lot of work. I implore newbies to read as much as possible, this has been repeatedly advised by countless people and do not take it personally when you are referred to Mr Page 1. The knowledge you gain by reading here can never be taken from you and will forever be yours to keep, so read up guys. None of us got here knowing all what we know now. Take a look at our beloved brother - smslive2, who was once a newcomer but now has over 2 million Nairaland followers and has built an empire in Nairaland City (Bro, no be shots fired this time o, na accolades fired. Lol. The calmness and patience you display in your responses to questions are laudable, please keep up the good work). So my people, that was how he did everything (from my 'deciding-to-go-to-Canada' stage up till PPR). He prepared me for the IELTS and thankfully, my first and only attempt was LRWS: 9, 9, 8, 8.). He paid my WES fees, dived into the pool with me (I mean, he created and submitted my EE profile....lol). Together, we painstakingly spent several weeks in contact with each other to ensure that my former employer wrote the reference letter correctly and also to ensure that my bank statements, gift deed, LOEs and additional documents were in the required formats. He re-reviewed all my documents and ensured they were in good order, he deposited $7,000 into my account as part of my gift deed (when he was barely managing his own finances and other obligations), he paid my RPRF fees and submitted my eAPR. He also paid for and ordered my GCMS notes. I am utterly blessed to have him as my brother. He took the pain of constantly checking my profile and always told me, "Don't worry, your PPR will come soon". He basically took most of the pressure off me. I owe him a great deal of gratitude and God-willing, I will return the favour in a million fold. There are countless great things that he has done in my life that mentioning them here would make this my PPR announcement seem like an ABRIDGED GIST.....lol. Many thanks bro! You're a rare gem. God bless you in unimaginable ways. #MyRealMVP#MySuperHero#YouCameThroughForMe. To my fellow sisters and brothers - dumsydsassy1, Tippex, wizean, vickyehi, doncorleone, ShininLite and other June AORS, I can't wait for your PPR announcements. I'm praying along and rooting for you guys. For those who are on the verge of giving up on this journey, please do not despair. Divine help will definitely come your way. For those in different stages of the application, let us keep being hopeful, the wait might be exhausting and stressful, but it will eventually happen. Last last, we would all meet in Canada someday and rejoice over our PR successes and laugh at the interesting drama and plenty fights here. On my way now to submit my passport sharply as I owe my loving brother some sweet 15 sibling points. The journey is not over until we both get our COPRs and land in Canada. It will surely end in praise. #DancingShakuShakuAway. I will keep you guys updated as events unfold. Thank you All. Make I drop this phone and hold my dear passport tight because this bus conductor is looking at me like ......... 169 Likes 12 Shares
