Hello everyone,

I currently have just 1 year work experience after my degree. I am a Software developer now, but I studied Biology related course in school. During the course of my degree, I spent my school breaks working in tech firms, and can hence surely gather 3 yrs work experience. But is it possible to gather these experiences together into 3 years, since it wasn't continuous?
If yes, it possible to claim 3+ years work experience since my degree isn't relevant to the experience?

Good Morning All,

So i've known about this Canadian thing since 2017 just after i got married.
a family friend shared the process with us and the CRS score being picked then Highest 443, lowest 413
i told my hubby to lets dive in and do the process but he said no.
I moved on
in 2018 i told him about it again, he said no, CRS score was gradually increasing 450 - 455. towards the end of 2018, i just heard a close family member had been given ITA and was gathering money for POF. i raised it to hubby again and he said no
in 2019, they got PPR and left.
i told hubby again and he said no.
late 2019, i just realised that i dont even need hubby to write IELTS to have the required points to be picked.... i almost cried.
Something i should have done and moved on
Good thing is , this 2020.... i aint waiting for him to make up his mind completely.... grin
WES has started, IELTS in Feb.... PS. i have Masters and younger than 30

wish me luck grin

NO GCMS NOTES

Omo up till now, I still no know who them be
Single Applicant
AOR – PPR 124 days

I've not slept throughout abeg, the headache is crazy. Apologies for the typo.

DETAILS

Frankly I had not quite thought about relocating from this country. Even with the continued inability to secure a good job, after graduating. I then moved on to taking ACCA hoping that this will help me well somehow it did.
My Canadian uncle talked me into doing a programme in Canada with the aim of relocating permanently. I obliged and started the process. I used an agent that my roommate from the University used in the past which worked out for then. However I got denied the student visa reason being my agent told me to show that I have family in Canada. So I did, I requested my uncle’s Passport (data page and that of his family as instructed by the agent). Consequently I got denied the visa and was completely devastated.
Fast forward two years on, I was close to completing the ACCA exam when my Uncle again brought another wonderful idea. He told me he will help to arrange a lady from there and bring her to Nigeria make I start work on top her (make her fall in love with me… you get the idea). Behold, December 29 2016 the beautiful damsel was here in Nigeria. We picked her up at the Airport in Port Harcourt. Omo the beauty no me small, me wey dey reluctant before, omo I change mind sharp sharp. The babe was really friendly and open we just dey gist wella like I sabi her before. We finally landed for my village (Mbaise things nwanne) where I hoped it would be smooth sailing.
Boy, how wrong I really was. It turned out I had an aunt that was ‘jealousing me’. Omo the madam just singe handedly spoil the whole I swear matter, the woman and children turn to monitoring spirit. No privacy whatsoever, given that the girl stayed in my uncle’s house and my aunty and her children turned themselves into Permanent Residents in his house. Even when I took the girl out omo them follow body, Jesus!!! To cut the story short, it worked out as they wanted and I never really got the girl. Maybe na me slack o….
A year later, my uncle forwarded some information to me about express entry omo the wound of not getting that lady was still there so I just overlooked it jare saying that ACCA was more important (In truth it was)
EXPRESS ENTRY JOURNEY
I had just passed the ACCA after so many heart breaking moments failurew. My new found friend (My dad’s staff) whose wedding I attended as my dad was unavailable discussed the idea of express entry with me and gave me plethora of information about the route. I never knew that brother man was already in post AOR. He told me about WES, IELTS and introduced me to both canadavisa group as well as nairaland.
ECA
The ECA brought its issues. I had thought that the ACCA in itself would be equivalent to two or more BSc but it wasn’t unfortunately. Evaluating the ACCA was so damn easy and quick. The response was so swift from them. In no time I got ECA for ACCA being equivalent to one BSC kai all the time I wasted when I could have pursued by BSc evaluation too.
Then I attempted to evaluate my BSc from Nnamdi Azikiwe University. I was lucky my cousin who shares the same alma mater as I was in the neighbourhood. Incidentally, the guy man get so much mouth for school there so getting through to exams and records was a piece of cake for him so in no time he was able to get it do and courier it to WES. However, I made a very silly mistake which was using the old WES number not knowing that I had to reapply and get a new WES number. Omo forget, these westerners don’t make life difficult at all o. I reapplied got the new WES number mailed them my tracking number and apologized for the mistake and it was acknowledged.
Another mistake was that I didn’t include WAEC or NECO result and scratch card. At this point I thought my world would just implode on me. That’s because my WAEC result had some mistakes i.e my name and age. I had only used an affidavit to clear that up but was still worried. I stalled and continued to worry until I read through WES site again and came across the option of NECO omo I brimmed with smiles and joy like the PPR done dey.
Then there was the NECO result wahala. I had to make some funny payments to process it,up to 20k actually. But the part that upset was the need to use remitta to pay. I wasn’t properly guided so I had to make the payments twice it really wasn’t funny though. It took about three weeks for it to get done though I tipped the guy at NECO office extra 2k. Three weeks later as said, I was sent the tracking number via text message. That was sometime in December 2018. I thanked the man via text and surprisingly, the guy man replied saying, ‘thank me with MTN card o’. I was like, ‘see this guy man o’.
IELTS
As guy no too hold bar I just opted for MOD IELTS (68k) jeje. I studied using online materials. I just searched ‘IELTS practice test’ online and started practicing online mainly the listening and reading. First attempt should have been the best L 8.5 R 6.5 S 8 W 7. (I used ielts liz here.) I was considering remarking, having read so many reviews about the possibility of getting the reading remarked I just tried again.
Second attempt: L 7.5, R 6.5, S 8, W 6.5
Frankly I had known this won’t go well. That’s because one madam’s headset stopped working and she was determined to ensure that no one concentrated till those guys fix the headset (this happened during the three people dialogue part). Your guy just gave up and the result was obvious.
Third attempt: L 7.5, R 5.5, S 7.5, W 6.5
Omo this one weak me pass. First the Speaking was kinda annoying in that instructor was a woman. While she was asking the questions she was doing this thing that some woman do, showing just the white part of her eyes (no pupils) it was so distracting. Only God knows what happened during the reading 5.5? But guys forget o I felt the reading was my best o. I was like if I no get like 8 for this thing eh I go vex o. Unfortunately, well una see am na. I used both ieltsliz and jay’s videos
Fourth attempt: L 8, R 8, S 7.5, W 7
Unlike other attempts, this time, I went for classes in Ikeja studied like mad, did group practice with friends for speaking, went to my friend’s church’s crusade (Lord’s Chosen) I also stumbled on ielts advantage (Chris Pell). This guy sabi abeg! I was tempted to attend his VIP class for $500. Omo where you keep that money for that kind one I just continued with the bonus videos till he launched his $1 class for writing. Ehen that seemed doable, (370 naira didn’t hurt nobody). It really opened my eyes to a lot of things and mistakes I had been making all this while. This time I was far more confident. On the day of the exam, your guy reach Ikeja along and something told me to search for my passport. I start to check bag omo e no dey? Jesus!!! I began considering booking Gokada back home I almost ran mad. Then I remembered mum always says, ‘stay calm when searching for important thing’. Na so your guy just stayed calm and checked the smallest pocket in my bag then that green silly thing popped up.
ITA
I was actually expecting 8,7,7,7 meaning my CRS will be 457. However, it was better than I thought 463. With my profile ready, I fell into the pool. A week later, precisely 6/26/2019, CRS draw was done and the score came to 462. The joy was quite overwhelming. 60 days to get everything done abi? So another journey stated.
POF
Dad and Canadian uncle to the rescue! They had told me to do my part and leave the finances to them. In three weeks they came up with 90% of the cash which was all paid in Dad’s account. He then forwarded to me in installments. In all I had 4million in my account.
We put together a gift deed which got notarized. (PS I didn’t exactly use the format bandied around on nairaland per se). It was a deed then i included a schedule of the inflows from my dad and the dates i received the transfers from.

Imagine one lawyer was asking for 20k to notarize my document. Shooooo! The guy man talk say he is a renowned lawyer in Nigeria bla bla bla. He was among those that amended constitution etc He even told me he’s such a rich guy that he buys his clothes from abroad, more bla bla bla. The Oga even prayed for me sef for my success in Canada and all my endeavor in life. I still no do am for him hand. Another firm did it for me at 2k in less than 10 minutes without prayers and no bla bla bla… But guys to be honest, immediately after this other firm did it at 2k, Omo your guy take off o, before they change their mind say na 10k abi 15k.(PS if you have the cash to patronize a big time lawyer, by all means kindly do so. I was badly out of cash then).
I printed a 6 months bank statement showing 4 million
MEDICAL
I booked the medical at Qlife which is cheaper than IOM, I think the difference was between 5 – 8k. Though it took about three weeks before my appointed date. I got the directions to Qlife from obalende from one of us at nairaland (so much love). I got there by 6am only to find up to 20 people ahead of me (omo the exodus plans from Nigerian eh, the hustle is real).
As usual, those nice ladies came out to give us information and separate those for US from Canada. I did the urine test, blood test, eye test and both my height and weight were checked. After waiting and looking around, watching the Johnsons on the television. I was finally called in by the doctor. He asked me a couple of questions. Here’s the dialogue
Doctor: Do you smoke?
Me: Hell no!!!
Doctor: (Smiling) Do you take alcohol?
Me: Only on special occasions
Doctor: Do have any tattoos or have you had a surgery recently?
Me: (why this guy man dey ask this kind question abi he no see say I be gentleman?)I don’t have one besides my family will be on my case over that with series of meetings. Though I’ve had a surgery about 15 years ago when I had a wrist fracture.
Doctor: (Laughing) Okay that’s fine, the surgery is too far back to really be a cause for worry.
Me: What’s really the issue around tattoos?
Doctor: Shared needles for tattoos can lead to spread of Hepatitis B besides we will have needed another test.
Me: (Omo so this is the risk these guys face) Okay great.
He then did my body examination I had to lift my shirt and breathe while he felt my chest and all. It was tickling, in my mind I was wondering, ‘man dey exam me and I feel tickled, if na woman doctor nko…… (feel in the gaps). That was all and I was walking out of the hospital. 4hours in total.
PCC
This one was not hard at all I called both Inspector Moshood and Wale. After discussing the possibility of doing the process the next day, I asked how much and I got the same response from like say them plan am, ‘We are police, we don’t talk about money when carrying out our duties’. Okay o I done hear. I went there the next day and asked for Oga Moshood and saw a tall dark looking man. Omo forget this man has a nice way of relating with people. He did the finger print thing for me. While filling the document and reading my printing with the microscope, he kept making some funny remarks saying all my fingerprints suggest that my off springs will be mainly male. Well if that’s true my mom go happy die na as she set the precedence with two guys and two ladies. I paid him 5k and he was, ‘like the money no even complete sef’. He wished me success though.
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY/ REFERENCE LETTER
This was by far the easiest to obtain as I had worked for a firm of Chartered Accountants for the duration of 3 year and few months so that sufficed. Incidentally it’s owned by my mentor who is also from my home town (Mbaise connection). When I told him what I wanted and the reason, his eyes lit up and immediately he called the Admin manager of the firm and his secretary to attend to my needs ASAP. So I used the office letterhead paper to state my claims. This was duly signed by the Oga and he was wished me success all the way.

Least I forget, I was paid in cash while working at the firm. Was a very meagre sum so I guess that's why it wasn't questioned. I showed three months PAY slips. All in the compnay letterhead.


SET BACK
Well I did encounter a huge setback. After filling in my profile, the location I chose as where to reside was Quebec! and this made sense because my uncle resides there. I was saying to myself that at least for a few months I won’t have to worry about rent and all. AOR was out on 3rd August. I was so happy that things had started to look up only to get the message from cic saying my application was refused three days later. The reason was that I didn’t have the requirements to reside in that region (no evidence of French ability) I was massively distraught. I thought some of the bad village people done dey use me shine. It was a terrible feeling. However, I took it as a blessing in disguise, in that my passport had 5 months and 21 days left before expiring so I decided to take this set back as an opportunity to get my passport renewed and have some peace of mind.
PASSPORT RENEWAL
My oga in the passport office told me it would cost 50K to get the passport done. Good thing I had already completed the NIN which took me a while though. In three weeks the passport was ready but to get it out was a struggle. Only those wey sabi person were being attended to early. We started to complain seriously till one senior officer decided to come around and restore due process. After five hours I was walking out with my new bio passport looking all green, you know bling bling…





NEW ITA
I was now in the pool and determined that nothing will impede me from getting the ITA real soon. Unfortunately for me, the next draw came out I think a day after my profile was ready and IRCC now decided to join the village folk to frustrate me even more: August 12 2019 new draw and guess what 466… Chai Omo I had never felt so depressed. I was close to tears asking God why and asking myself why I was so stupid to have made such a stupid mistake. I was like (Quebec ebguwo m ooooo). I was saying that like every day. Then on August 15 2019, I said a mail from cic you know the ‘do not reply’ mail and I was asking myself what had happened this time abi them won drop another bombshell? On opening the mail, strangely it was Provincial/Territorial Interest Letter from Ontario…. Guys to be honest I was pleased initially but when I went online to find out about PNP stories, frankly all that optimism got extinguished particularly when I saw the cash requirement of $1,500. We done hustle gather 4 million with sweat adding that extra $1500 to the mix didn’t sound like a very good idea. I still went on to discuss it with my folks and they had this optimism that I would be fine without the PNP. Though I know it had a lot to do with the fact that they were exhausted having raised as much cash as they did.
Somehow, I just had so much faith that the new the draw will come out soon and it will be lower. D day, August 20 2019 and the new draw was done (first time I heard of biweekly draw) it was 457. I entered the pool without wasting time.
This time I made no mistakes in filling the forms especially when you consider that all the needed info was already handy. When it came to that question of where I would reside, the moment my eyes spotted Quebec, I was like, ‘God forbid’.

POST AOR
I think this was the most trying period frankly because I was so anxious, you know expecting that the PPR will be offered very soon. Biometrics came in 13 days later and I really felt there was progress. But I was always reading the comments from various groups omo it seems like there are some people just there to cause anxiety with all their theories.
I just decided to stay calm and just keep counting days. However, I changed jobs and moved on to a logistics company. I think that was one of the worst mistakes I made post AOR. It was supposed to be a big role with a fair salary but omo the way of working there was just crazy it was as bad as the owner dey insult staff, slap staff and owes them money like mad. Again this lead to so much anxiety leading to another overwhelming expectation of PPR. I no lie before a month, I had to resign from there before I lost my mind.
Moved on to a new place smaller in size, no staff insults or hot slaps from the owner. Unfortunately, the pay was far less but omo peace of mind was paramount for my frankly. It was more of a one man start up business with a lot of prospects, you know so many young people very welcoming environment. It was quite tasking as I had to do all the accounting, cleaning up the company books and all. It was a bit of a distraction from the PPR expectation.
I also added teaching of ICAN courses to the mix make money dey enter while I sharpen my skills. I had already been teaching ACCA after passing all the papers.
PPR came in on 9th January by 10:56pm while I was trying to sleep and omo the joy was quite immeasurable. I couldn’t believe it. Frankly I thought it would take the six months that IRCC said. Especially when I could see more of Indians, getting the PPR in 2 – 3 month.

Many thanks for all the support recieved from you guys here. If i had used nairaland in 2015 for student visa, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

Points to note:
Don't underestimate the power of your prayers and faith.( I wrote this testimony before the PPR was out)
Kindly make sure your documents are as easy as possible for the the guys on the other end to assess.
Have a very open mind on this journey.
Don't get bugged down when you don't see ghosts
The info on nairaland is more than sufficient
Unfortunately we need to invest more in increasing our scores 8,7,7,7 won't quite cut it anymore.
Please o when you make up your mind to get on this journey, kindly be in good terms with your employer, HR manager as the case maybe they can be a major stumbling block

Finally, I give God all the glory for making this possible
My parents who encouraged me during the IELTS trauma.

All the best guys.
