The question on the CRS tool is this:

Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?
Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:


18 years old or older
related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
have a parent in common with you or your partner
A brother or sister is related to you by:

blood (biological)
adoption
marriage (step-brother or step-sister)


If you answer yes to this, you will get the sibling points.

See? There is hope after all! smiley


Hmmm. LadyStencil. Actually, an applicant cannot claim points from his/her sibling’s spouse who has a brother or sister living in Canada or is a Canadian PR.

i.e. my brother’s wife (sister-in-law) has a sister in Canada. I cannot claim points from my sister-in-law’s sister. If my wife has a sister who is a PR, then I can claim points from my sister-in-law.

Applicants can claim points from their spouse’s sibling in Canada. I hope I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that ......family is everything grin

Oh wow. Confusion has entered me. So I read that I can claim points from a sister in law who is a PR. I'm not going for sister in laws sibling. Just sister in law.

Hi, please check page 1 for the CRS calculator.

You have to get in touch with your school - they may need to do verification with WES.

Are you sure WES requested SSCE? Why are you evaluating that? I thought they only ask for WAEC or NECO with a first degree (for Nigerian degrees)?


Sorry I meant NECO.. thanks for your response

Your brother or sister in law here refers to you as PA claiming 15 points because your spouses brother or sister is a PR or citizen, not points for a siblings spouse who is PR or citizen.

Your sibling has to be a PR for you or your spouse (if any) to claim points.

If you husband doesn't have a degree chances are you might need another degree to claim points for "two or more" or Masters.
The only way to really know where you stand is to simulate your score with the CRS tool.

I already did. My score was 352 on the CRS. Thank u

Okay. So I take this to mean I can only claim points from a spouse's sibling and not from a sibling's spouse.

Thank you

My experience at the IOM Hospital

My wife and I filled in the forms for IOM on April 26th and got May 7th as our Medicals date. We decided to do our medicals upfront after receiving our provincial nomination.

We left Chevron Lekki around 5:48am on said day and arrived at the hospital around 6:55am. We met a number of people outside who had an appointment for 7:30am similar to us for US, UK and Canadian medicals although over 85% were for the Canadian medicals.
The security guards outside told us to check for our names on the list when we arrived, which we did and confirmed our names were on the list. I saw one or two people with 9:30 appointments who came early too but Were not allowed in immediately. The guards waved in the 7:30am appointees first by 7am - their opening time.

We entered a holding area where we were all given tags - our tag number was 7. Each family is given one tag number regardless of how many people are in the family.

Once we got through that, we were asked to sit in a tent. 10 mins later we were waved in to the reception area. At the reception area, our original passports and payment receipts were collected and checked against their list.

This process took around 10mins too. There was a guy there who came for Canadian medicals without his original passport. He was told they can't attend to him without his original passport. As a Nigerian, he stood there insisting he must be attended to. He said his passport is with the US embassy and he had called someone in the IOM office who told him he could bring his passport photocopy. The staff at the reception insisted that it was impossible and went on to attend to other people on the line.

We were then directed into the main waiting area of the hospital. Once here, a doctor came to address everyone on the process for the day. There were a lot of kids here running around - until the TV channel was put on some channel for Children's programmes.

We were all issued those pee bottles - the ones you pee in for a test.

7:30am
They started to call each family/individual by their tag number. The first step was getting "captured" - here our pictures were taken and we were issued a checklist - this is a list of all the tests you'll need to do on the day. Our passports were also collected here with the guy entering our details into a computer.

8:10am
Once done with capturing we were directed outside to get our vitals done.At each step in the process, you're called by your tag number. When it got to our turn, my wife went ahead to fill the forms. Then got her vitals taken. They check your temperature, height, weight and eye sight.

8:30am
Once done with the vitals, we went to the Lab area for our blood test. The lab is outside the main building.

8:45am

After the blood test, we were directed back to the main waiting area in the main building.

9:10am
We were called in by a nurse to bring in our urine samples. He tested our Urine with a strip to search for traces of protein, glucose or cretinin. He explained the test to us and showed us the result against the strip he was holding.

Afterwards, we sat with him and went through a series of questions on our medical history. He was a cheerful and nice nurse. This process took around 30 mins.

9:40am
After the urinalysis, we were directed back to the waiting area. Then we were called to the capturing area again where we were given our passports and issued a payment receipt. Somehow - they wrote my name on the receipt even though it was my wife that made the payment and the payment was in her name - rude eh.

10:00am
We went in to the x-ray section. While here, they didn't follow tag numbers and were attending to people on a first come, first served basis. They call "next male", "next female". Once they called for a male and it was my turn, as I tried to get my things and head to the door, some other guy quickly got up and went ahead of me. I laughed. What's with Nigerians and our "rushing" mentality even in places where it is clearly not needed.

I had to wait again for the next male call. My wife went in when they called for the next female. Eventually, I was called in. They asked me to take off my top and my x-ray was taken by the female radiologist.

10:30am
Just before we went in for our x-rays, a doctor had come to call our tag number. We told him we were just about to go in for our Xray. After the x-ray, we went back to the main reception area.

Around 10 mins later, our tag number was called to see the doctor whose office is just beside the waiting area.

When we went in, he explained all the tests to us again and why they were doing them - on the instance of the Canadian government, allowing the government to make plans and budget for people with certain health needs. I thought that was really amazing.

The doctor then asked us(me first then nmy wife after) to go behind a curtain. Here he examined my nails, pulse, kidney area for pains, heart beat and eyes.

After my examination, my wife also went in behind the curtain. He gave her a robe to change into before performing her own examination.

This took around 20 - 25mins.

Just before the doctor examined my wife, he received our x-ray report on his computer. He had originally asked us if we lived in Lagos and told us that usually they ask people who reside outside Lagos to wait till their x-ray results are out (which he said usually takes an hour) but ours had come out in around 10 - 15mins. They ask people residing outside Lagos to wait for their results because the radiologist may need to take further views or a person may need further examination.

After looking at our x-ray results, he confirmed that everything was fine before going ahead to examine my wife.

Once done, we had a little bit of a banter and joked for a bit.

After leaving the doctor's office. We went back to the capturing area to confirm we could leave as we had finished everything on our checklist.

They told us we could leave.

All in all, it was a good experience - quick and straight to the point without feeling over crowded the way Children's practice felt the last time I was there. Staff were generally polite and helpful apart from the x-ray guys who just seemed to be in their own world and didn't really want to be at work.

The entire process took around 3hrs and 45mins compared to the 6hrs they had listed in their emails to us before the medicals day.

Thursday, May 30th
We got our ITA yesterday. Blessed! Time to start putting documents together.
