Lmao, talking about being bitter because you are told you have a wrong perception of something? You will be alright. Guy, you seriously need to take a chill pill. She is a lawyer and her degree is evaluated as equivalent to a professional course so she gets the same scores as those with masters degree. Did you know that? NO! If not you won’t be displaying ignorance! You are the one who doesn’t know what you’re typing. Familiarize yourself with the EE thread and stop arguing blindly. And Yes if she gets the maximum scores which is LRSW of 8.5,8,7.5,7.5, under 30 years of age, with three years experience, her CRS point will be 481 and she will be out of the pool in no time. And should it be 8777 in the same order and same parameters, that’s 469. All these wouldn’t be accurate only if she is above 30 or doesn’t have a three year experience or she is both (above 30 and less than 3 years experience). Please tell us the calculator you used in calculating the points. Do you even know there is a CRS calculator? I doubt it because if you knew there is one, you wouldn’t confidently display ignorance with so much ego. You refused to be educated, I saw Tina26 direct you to the EE thread but you refused to read thoroughly because in your head it’s for billionaires. Get informed please and stop stating ignorance as facts! You quoted me at first so if you quote me yarning opata, I will challenge you. You can take your bitterleaf personality elsewhere if you can’t be schooled. The thing is if you refuse to learn, you will not achieve anything on your immigration journey and it’s not a curse. It’s a journey that takes patience, humility and understanding. Read! Read!! Read!!!
lol funnily enough I can't recall going hard on you, so because I don't share your point of view I've turned an ignorant fellow. Please take to correction when you're wrong there's no way CRS calculator can give you score of 481 if you're a lawyer under 30 with 8888 IELTS,please let's be guided, go back to your CRS Calculator and recalculate. As for your info I've been on the EE for over 5months so when you talk about knowing the indepth of EE I do as well. The problem here is you're just against my point because I don't share your views. Last time I checked every one is entitled to his/her own opinion, I would reiterate again do what works for you best. If going through the school route works better for me aunty please let me be and if EE works better for you then it's fine. I just dished out my advice to the lawyer and I can't recall imposing my advice on her. Once again please I beg you don't reply me again. Peace out

you people are very funny, some one said he has no money and you're still asking him to go through PR route??
Knowing fully well that going through PR route is more expensive than the student route
how is ee more expensive A single person wont spend up to 550k ideally on ee. The 3.5 m na for account balance. But student visa you pay school fees and also show living expenses. The rejection rate for nigerian student Visa applications in 2018 was 82% .

Lol, you see how unteachable you are? undecided Now do an assignment use the CRS calculator, simulate a single applicant, chose masters or professional education and simulate with this order as you clearly don’t know that if you have the following scores in IELTS you have maxed out.
L8.5
R-8.0
S-7.5
W-7.5
Mind you the above scores will fetch you the same mark as those with 9999.
Foreign work experience choose 3 years or more then tell us what you got. What an ignorant person (it’s not an insult, it’s a fact. Anyone can be ignorant) like you doesn’t know is with your supposed 8888 that you stated, her CRS point is 478 and yet you are here arguing pointlessly! Arguing about something you clearly know nothing about. Guy, as long as you keep posting wrong info, I will quote you because of future thread users.
Attached is a simulated scores with
LRSW 8.5, 8.0,7.5, 7.5 (481)
LRSW 8.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0 (469)
And your almighty
LSRW 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0 (478).

And 3 years experience, professional degree and under 30. You have a contrary opinion?
You still want to argue blindly? Bring your arguments with facts! Your confidence level in writing nonsense is top notch.

Lmao cheesy when ignorance didn’t work, we are now talking about rudeness. Yet you were the one who called me funny, bitter. I only called you ignorant which isn’t an insult because you are ignorant of the EE process. Guy your emotional blackmail will not work because an open minded person would see I wasn’t in any bit rude to you. I only told you the truth which obviously is bitter. You responding to other people doesn’t move me as far as you got schooled. Once beaten hands down, they go with the narrative “you were/are rude.” Guy, admit you were wrong, you refused to be schooled, someone else saw your argument, schooled you and you saw you couldn’t argue blindly anymore grin grin. Don’t start the narrative of rudeness because I wasn’t, instead you were, you went personal. I don’t have a problem because I am happy, teachable and always ready to get myself informed, as for you I can’t say the same and I am not the colour of your problem grin grin but I hope you find solution soon. Also read rather than argue if not your stay in Nigeria will be prolonged. Have a nice night

Hello everyone. Please I need advice. I intend relocating to Canada next year (I want to start applying this December) with my baby with a student visa. I studied law. (I am a lawyer)But right now I can’t afford to go for masters in law which is around 40,000 CAD.
You guys dont see the problem no, lol
He is obviously inputting the law degree as a bsc, while y'all are inputting it as a professional degree
So to d original poster(the owner of the issue gan gan)
If you decide to do EE, make sure your ECA is with a body that will evaluate it to a professional degree
Avoid WES cos wes won't.

So I'm thinking of going to Canada with a student visa and I can't afford the PHd fee so I'm thinking of going for PGD to boost my chances of getting a wok permit, from there one can push gradually for the PR. Incase you have any info of province that offers work permit to PG students, please kindly share.
how would you convince the VO you intend to return to Nigeria after studies. You think student visa is that easy

LANDING GIST

This has been way overdue but I just have to give it anyway. This journey has been long and it is only favour that brought me here.

I shared my PPR STORY here.

Booked my ticket with Ethiopian airline for July 31st. It was almost a 24 hour journey. Got to the airport just two hours before but was able to check in very easily. I didn't have any food nor did I have goods to follow. Only had one bag with excess luggage and gladly paid 60USD for it. (I heard Lufthansa is $173.)

It wasn't easy leaving friends and family behind but the moment I entered the plane, I was already focused on my new life. First part of the journey was easy, just about 5 hours to Ethiopia. I ate the food as I don't discriminate. I forgot to mention that an elderly woman wanted to do a Soyinka with my window seat but I politely asked her to move. Another woman asked I let her just sit but I told her that I chose the seat for a reason.

Used the wifi at Ethiopia to keep the fam updated and to download some youtube videos to watch on the almost 16hour flight to Toronto. It was largely uneventful and long. Kept standing up to walk around and stretched my legs. Watched about four or five movies and ate all the food that came my way. Also met a nice Nigerian couple with their children who were moving to Alberta and we talked for a bit.

Landed at Pearson airport according to schedule. The line for immigration was so long and after about one and a half hours, I was finally welcomed to Canada and then did my SIN. My wife picked me up at the airport and not long after, I had eaten both food and something else grin.

Went out the next day to get my SIM, opened a bank account with RBC and got a credit card for $2,000 and I don't pay charges for the next one year. Started driving that day as I needed to acclimatize real quick.

Started my ACCES Employment bridging program in Brampton and it has been good so far. I end that next week and really look forward to starting a job real soon. Wifey has been good to me and this is the first Saturday I have actually just sat at home all day.

I hope to do my driver's licence soon and get a job. I am just glad for the time I arrived because summer is ending now and "WINTER IS COMING".

Hope to keep you guys posted.

Hi
Congratulations on your PR and I wish you well in your future endeavors.
Your landing gist no be here o... In fact I dey very surprised it took you less than 6months when the CIC website says 12months.
I have a few questions though... Pls permit me
My sis will be getting married to her fiance in Dec and will be applying for spousal sponsorship in Jan
1. Her fiance has been denied visas 2ce, do you think it will have any effect on the processing time. Do you have any travel history?
2. Did ur spouse have to submit proof of meeting LICO requirements or can you please share the list of the documents you submitted?
She's also worried about proof of communication since most of the call and texts are through WhatsApp
3. If you have any link that was helpful to you, please share
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by mrhumandelis: 6:06pm On Sep 22, 2019
I'm sorry o (also this is late) but school is a whole lot more expensive and after everything, there's no guarantee that you would even get the visa.

The express entry route, as long as you merit it, you would certainly get it no matter how long it takes. I know so many people who's student visa have been denied for stupid reasons

smartkester:
Aunty do your assignment well there are cheap and affordable schools in Canada and with the way CRS scores keeps increasing everyday the best and fastest way to jet out is through school. This isn't a pointless arguement, some people have been in the pool for over 5months and no ITA yet because it gets competitive everyday. I don't know her age but the best score she can get on CRS is 456 which isn't enough at this point

It really depends on the basement. If it's surrounded by concrete (like downtown), it won't be a problem. However, if it's surrounded by earth, you'll really feel the cold.

If you have to choose a basement, take one with PLENTY of natural lighting (windows).

Basement apartments are colder and more prone to mould. That's basically it.

onyexx:
I have heard and read a couple of comments (not here) discouraging living in basements. Can someone please expatiate on the cons? Is it really that bad? Depressing? Not well heated?
