Also on the CIC website, I saw that its 67 points minimum for federal skilled workers, but I keep seeing you guys here use the 400+ cutoffs anytime you talk about getting an ITA , Does the score over 100 not matter?

Obviously, you still need familiarize yourself with Page 1.

If everyone asking a question here is directed to page 1 , do you think it would be on this page number?, you are always quick to direct to page 1, but what would it take you to explain the answer to my questions when you were typing your page 1 reply?
Modified, I don't know you so the "you" above generally implies everyone suggesting page 1
In case you decide to take it personal

Nenyezz:
wow for real..please how is it calculated based on the fact that you were schooling fulltime

I just did research on this, after your 1 year minimum continuous work experience, the experience gained during education needs to amount to 1560 hours to be counted as 1 year.
Hope this helps
For instance IT/SIWES(PAID), which can also be counted as 1 year continuous work if that's only what you have. So no worries. Thanks

Thank you MamaAaron. This is really motivating.

When I first came to this thread I saw peeps were directed to page 1 so I got to page 1 hoping I’d understand this thing. Meehn I was so confused I had to set up a meeting with someone here who really helped me with an overview. So I understand how you feel.
But of cos, the fact that I could not read it meant I was not patient enough lol.

67 for eligibility. CRS for selection for ITA. I may be on 368 i wont get ITA but i may get PNP invite. If u get below 67 your profile is ineligible. Meaning u cant even get an ITA

my WES profile showed a new date under the "we are reviewing your documents) yesterday. does this means i have to contact my school for verification follow up? will WES let me know when they have sent to my school for follow up?

Early next week, you should get an email from WES informing you that it has sent a request for verification to your school. Then, you can decide to do follow-up, if that's what it takes to get the job done.

Hi house, please I have a treasury bill running in stanbic bank to end in October. Now I have been told by Ontario provincial nominee to get a letter from my bank stating this money is easily accessible and can be liquidated. Now I don't think Stanbic gives such letter on treasury bills investments, but only their certificate, in that case what's the way out.
Thanks..

There is no harm in trying meet with ur account officer and make the request they might oblige you

Lol!! O boy! Warri no dey carry last. God who has done it for you, will do it for us

Your PM

Yes, by your school. WES sends verification through both soft and hard copies on your behalf and receives a response either way. I had to get the school to respond through hard copy when the process was taking too long and it was sent through courier (which I paid for). Only then was I free of evaluation palava. But that's just my case. Many found the process very smooth.

Date typed: 27th Feb. 2019

So, I’m on my way back from work, had a busy day so could not go through nairaland all through the day only for me to see about 8 pages to read. Then I saw Tojued PPR story. This motivated me to write mine down as she said all the excitement leaves you once the wait takes its toll on you. This was may present state being waiting 5 months 10days. I actually prayed for a short PPR like MEPconsult but God knows better.

IELTS
Took the first test in 2017 LRSW7,6.5,7,8 then I was thinking I’d do Australia PR but then I needed to have 8 in all band to even get invite as I was going to claim points for only 1-year experience post msc which I did not have at that time. This was going to be really challenging. I close ielts matter since I was not ready and I was waiting for my one-year experience to reach.
Then in 2018 my sister said why don’t I try Canada, she had mentioned it in 2017 before but I wasn’t interested especially because of proof of fund. Australia did not require proof of fund and I didn’t want to bother my dad plus he had plenty financial responsibilities. So, when she brought it up again, I said let me try so I went through the assessment link found I needed I needed 8777 ok…I thought I can do this, its not as demanding as Australia. Na so I start preparing…..wrote it sometime in June 2018 result out July had LRSW 6.5,6,7.5,6.5 I was depressed. Cried and decided to get my life together nobody will write for me except me.
That’s when I discovered MOD decided to use them had about 4 weeks to prepare used Cambridge ielts, Lizielts and practised a lot for listening and reading, wrote a few essays for writing. Wrote the exam in August, begged God to show me mercy and He did LRSW 8,7.5,8,7. Picked the report same day and dived in the pool about a week later ITA 5th Sept. 2018. By the way I booked IOM the week before the result came out in faith, so I was able to do medicals immediately after Ielts result was out.

Degrees

Used WES pretty easy this was before WAEC wahala. Accessed both MSC and BSC took 8 weeks in all. Verification was easy because my school did it without me calling them.

POF

100% gift deed. Still went back to my dad. He supported me and was happy that I was being proactive with my life. He had been worried about my future so he was in when I told him. Notarised it with his lawyer (he did all that).

Medicals

IOM booked about a week ahead used almost the whole day.

PPC

Inspector Fatai agreed 6k I was not in Lagos so he had to post, paid extra 2k for that. UK PCC was straight forward everything online.

ADR

Never knew I had received refusal letter from Canada embassy. My family and I applied for visitors visa few months before I went for post graduate studies. I had to withdraw my application in order to apply for my student visa as I was already running late for school. When the outcome arrived, I had already left Nigeria and they never told me I was also issued a rejection letter along with them because they thought that my application had been cancelled since I withdrew mine. I always used to laugh at my siblings that I don’t have to deal with that rejection question when applying for any visa. Didn’t know mine was sitting pretty at home.
So, when filling my application, I did not indicate that I had applied for visa before and also did not indicate my UCI number thinking my application was cancelled on their end. Only for the ADR to come and then I asked my mum if I had any letter from IRCC, she checked and viola my letter was included in the rejection package. This was over 4 years ago. So, I was already in their database. I checked the UCI from 4 years ago it was the same as my present UCI.
I wrote letter of explanation on what happened attached my UK visa which was issued before they sent home the rejection letter and it was accepted. So please always tell the truth. They can spot lies.

Work Experience

I always knew I wanted more out of my life and really wanted to live outside Nigeria so I thought MSC is the way to get that. Applied to Uk school and got admitted, never knew that post study was hard to get and UK will kick you out once you done schooling. When I came back the strategy was to get out anywhere but Nigeria. That’s when my Australian waka started before it turned to Canada waka. Did not have experience in my MSC degree and I needed to claim point for work. I had to get a job, popsi did not understand why I decided to move, I couldn’t get the job where we lived so I moved plus I needed the money to fund the process IELTS, medical etc.
Got a job moved and barely settled in when I realised it was a highly toxic and political environment filled with insecure people. Oh, I could relate with Osaze’s story while he was in UAE. I was mostly depressed this partly affected my June Ielts result. Anyway, the job took its toll on me plus moving I had to live with people I never thought I’d ever live with. Wasn’t the best of situations. Well, I’m grateful cos they all helped me on this journey unknowingly. However, got the reference letter in CIC format signed by a superior.
So, in total it took me 1 year six months to start the process. Endured a lot of emotional stress but what kept me going was the end would be worth it. Sometime you have to give everything for a dream no one will understand. I grew through it, found myself more and just kept on waiting. Now the PPR wait of 6 months end in 19 days I pray earnestly that I won’t be delayed beyond 6 months. (27th Feb. 2019).

Updated 18th July 2019

IRCC sure do know how to keep you waiting. (June 2019) Waited 9 months and 10 days.
Woke up around 1 am 22nd June to see gmail notification icon. Yup I knew it was IRCC. Logged in to see remedicals letter. Ran to IOM on Monday, booked for Tuesday did the test. They called that they had uploaded it on Wednesday and the result was fine. Called IRCC on Thursday, the agent said everything was passed and before she could continue network ended the call. Tried to call again didn’t go through. I kuku just left the whole thing.

Around 10:05pm saw gmail notification and viola it was PPR. My family members did party on our family watsapp group, enough dancing. I was just grateful the wait was over. Went to submit the next day. Picked up passport 18th July, 2019……………exactly 10 months post AOR.

My thanks go to Newmum who helped with my employment reference letter and template for proof of funds and also Linda…can’t recall your nairaland name, you helped me with my ADR. God bless you both. And to everyone posting useful information here thank you. To all waiting I pray for strength for you because it is not easy. Delay is not denial. To my sept AOR’s and all still waiting I pray for speed, I know someone with my AOR still waiting. The wait is not funny.

While waiting apply to ACCES for online program if your profession is on their list. I pray God also answers everyone waiting on something with speed. See you all in Canada.

its interesting to know that WES will search for the school's email and also post it to them. If the send the email...I can easily get someone in my school to follow up the email verification almost instantly.

does CES do verification too? any idea?

Tina26:
majority of canadians cannot score 7 in writing. Even in the uk where i once worked many of them cant get a 7. The ielts guys are not being truthful with the marking. We have seen remark change from 6.5 to 7.5 and 8. If not for our desperation to travel due to our failed country we should not be writing this exam

Is this thing really true? A guy told me they can't give you more than one point if your script is remarked. So if it's 6.5 it cannot go over 7 and if this happens, they can sack the person who initially marked your script.

I’m so excited for you too!! It will end in praise

Canadachi:
God is good.Im so so excited...
First attempt lrws - 7,7,6.5,8
Second attempt lrws - 8.5,7.5,7,8

Super grateful to God!

Won’t be recalculated.

Please gurus am I right?

bigwizzy001:
There's something I'm yet to understand properly o.
Assuming I'm single when I dived into the pool and get married after ITA/AOR, will my point be recalculated or not?

only lawyers and nurses need to use iqas. It takes about 6 months. So avoid them

Years of experience gives points not noc. Check noc 0721 on google

Am so sorry for responding to this late @4kimportX, my schedule has not permitted me.

Yes, CES accepts SOR.

I didn't have certificate, after my application they sent me a mail asking if I had a certificate. I said I had not been given by the University. They responded by saying I should not worry, they will proceed with Statement of Result. This was in January this year or so.

I hope things have not changed now anyways.

Cheers

4kimportX:



Good morning ma'am, does CES accept statement of result/provisional certificate because my MSc certificate is not ready!
