I'd appreciate your responses.

Your wife can vwrify her degree and write IELTS.. Simulate with that and see what it comes to

Hello guys,
I must say you're doing greatly in informing people especially with the express entry process.

Ive read a lot and bn researching for months now.
Need some advise.

My Profile:
Age: 34
Education :Masters
Job : 5 years exp
Married

Update.
Wes : done
Ielts: april 2020

With current cut off of 471, i cant make it even with maximum ielts score.
Ive bn advised to write TEF after ielts. PNPs are also hard but will give it a try.

What advise do you have for someone in my category.
Will appreciate a response.
Thanks

WOW, I really tap into your testimony. Please I have an issue that has been giving me sleepless nights, I'll appreciate if I could be guided by these awesome members. The profession on my marriage certificate is different from my profession, I had used "Analyst" because i thought that Admin was too casual of a job in Nigeria and wanted to upgrade into being a business analyst, now I regret my action. Where I worked, anybody can be titled an Analyst even corp members that came to do their PPA with us so I titled that to myself too since we were all doing the job. They would even meet me for directions even though I'm handling the administrative part 100%. Now, I want to use Admin officer as my NOC but I'm scared because at some point I will have to submit my Marriage Certificate Post-ITA and they will see a different profession. NB: My reference letter will bear Admin officer because where I currently work my position is Admin and my former employee will also give me admin reference. Thanks for your advice in advance.

TIMELINE:
NOC: 4032
IELTS (Accompanying Spouse) [2nd Feb, 2019]: LRWS = 8.5,8,7,8.5 (8.5,8,7,7.5 before EOR) British Council
IELTS (PA) 1st attempt [2nd Feb, 2019]: LRWS = 7.5,8.5,7,8 (after this, Wifee refused to write IELTS again... It took months of begging to convince her to write again, so I chose to pay for 2 tests back to back so she would not be under too much pressure)
2nd attempt [27th July 2019] British Council: 8,7.5,7.5,8
3rd attempt [1st August 2019] IDP: 8,9,7,7.5 (Never bothered to collect the TRF)
ECA (PA): Master’s degree (WES – January 14, 2019)
ECA (Accompanying Spouse): Professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession (MCC – October 26, 2018)
ITA: 12/08/2019 (CRS 468)
AOR: 05/09/2019
MED PASSED/BIL: 19/09/2019
BIOMETRICS DONE: 25/09/2019
PPR: 16/12/19
FAMILY SIZE: 4

ITA:
Created our profile on the 11th of August immediately I picked up my wife’s IELTS Test Report Form. We got ITA the following day (12th August 2019)

MEDICALS: Was a seamless process at Qlife family clinic, Lagos on 3rd September, 2019.
I was initially quite worried because my son had a birth injury (Erb’s palsy) which makes him have some difficulty raising his left arm high above his head (he is otherwise a healthy and active boy) and I wasn’t sure of the grounds for medical inadmissibility.
I asked several questions back then on this forum, and @Topsmamen and @Ladymarshall were very helpful to us.
The Panel Physician assured us that we were fine, and then I could relax a bit.

PCC: Inspector Moshood sorted out our PCCs at 3.5k each on 2nd September 2019 (I got his contacts from this thread).

ECA:
I started out the process as the PA so I had gotten my ECA report from MCC since August 2018.
I, however, was too busy at work to give IELTS preparation any time. After the drop in ITA score to 438 in January 2019, I was gingered and immediately registered for IELTS.
After realizing that we had no hope with a CRS score of 444 we had to change strategy – Wifee had to be the PA (age advantage).
I evaluated my wife’s credentials with WES (Canadian Equivalence = Master’s degree). Slight delays from University of Port Harcourt’s end, but thank God it all ended in praise. The report was obtained on January 14th, 2019.

POF:
100% Gift Deed from my dad (PA’s father In-Law). Gift deed was notarized.
I also transferred 1.5m to wifee's account to buffer just in case of currency fluctuations.
We purchased treasury bills with the gifted sum, and left the 1.5million in her account.
We submitted: Treasury Bills certificate, My wife's 6months Bank account statement, Letter of reference from Bank (very generic letter from Access Bank with only the date the account was opened and that the customer is recommended for business relationship), a letter of non-indebtedness, notarized gift deed, transfer receipts from my dad’s account, my bank statement showing the transfers to my wife’s account, a letter of support from me stating I transferred funds to my wife’s account, and an image of OANDA converter exchange rate on the date of submission. I even went overboard to add my dad’s international passport and pictures of my parents with us on our wedding day (so no VO will say they aren’t sure of something – maybe this was too much sha).

REFERENCE LETTERS:
We claimed work experience from 2 different schools my wife worked for.
My wife worked for 2 years in the first school. She then took out time to go for her Master's degree full time).
Thereafter, she worked for 9 months in a second school, after which she resigned to go work as a customer care agent for over 9 months. Little did we know this would not count as it was under NOC C. When we realized (by further research) in May 2019, she immediately resigned and went back to the second school to continue teaching. As God will have it, when she was finally ready to write IELTS again in July 2019, she had gotten the extra 3months of work experience so we could claim 3years.
So, we added 2years (School 1) + 9months (School 2 – April to January 2018) + 4months (School 2 – May to Sept 2019).
N/B: The current principal in her PPA refused to give us a reference letter for her NYSC period. He said he could not find any records in the school of happenings before 2016 when he became principal, so he could not issue any letter. Thank God for making a way for us without needing that.
My wife was paid in cash in school 1, so we submitted a salary certificate in addition to the reference letter which stated mode of payment, employment letter, and resignation letter.
For her first period in school 2 she was paid via cash cheques. We submitted the reference letter which stated mode of payment, payslips, employment letter, resignation letter, and the schools 2018 brochure showing her pictures.
For her second period in school 2, she was paid via her bank, so we submitted the reference letter, payslips, re-instatement letter and bank account statement showing salary deposits.

VISA REFUSALS: I declared my previous US and UK visa refusals, and attached the refusal letters. I did NOT fill a schedule A form and was never asked for one.

LOEs: There was an age discrepancy on our marriage certificate, for which we did an "affidavit for correction of age" and also explained in an LOE.
We also had LOEs for proof of funds and visa refusals.

PASSPORT: Scanned only stamped pages or pages containing visas (NOT ALL PAGES). I included my old passport also.

THE WAIT:
Honestly, I was already mentally preparing to start waiting. Our TBills are to be due in January and was planning to send an updated POF then.
We do not know our Visa office and did not raise any CSE.
Had no ADR.
I joined an Indian and a Nigerian whatsapp group, but realized that I wasn’t ready for the tension generated by people second guessing their applications, hence I left all whatsapp groups and made this thread may daily stopover for encouragement – looking out for PPR stories.

PPR:
I watched Daddy GO almost every night of the RCCG Congress 2019, and when he said on day 6 that we should ask God for something big, getting our PPR in January was one of the things I asked for.
I even googled a sample picture of a PR visa, printed it out in colour, wrote my name on it with the issue date as January 2020 and put it on my bedroom wall (vision board). This was on Sunday the 15th of December (after the night session of Day 6 on the 14th of December).
Lo and behold, my wife shouted this evening, screaming that I should come downstairs with my laptop. I was initially wondering why, as she knew I was working on a project using my laptop. The first thought on my mind was that the golden mail had landed, but it was too good to be true so I pushed the thought aside and ran downstairs to go see to my damsel in distress…
The look on her face and her radiant smile said all I needed to know, and we started screaming…
The golden mail in her mailbox was dated 16th December 2019 even though she noticed it just this evening.
Our kids kept on asking us, “Daddy what is wrong?” Mummy, what is the problem?”
All we could say was: “There is no problem my love. With time you will know okay.”
Glad they are very understanding.

Thank God it has ended in praise for us.
It is still so unreal to me, but I will be ungrateful if I do not testify to God’s goodness unto us. I was expecting this in March when our 6months would have expired, not knowing my prayer of faith will be answered so speedily. Processing time of just over 3months. It can only be God! I pray this encourages someone also praying for the same.

Now I can focus and prepare for my final exams to become a Consultant Surgeon in a few months’ time (my back up plan if I ever have to return to Naija).

Hoping to travel in June 2020 God willing.

Many thanks to @Topsmamen, @Ladymarshall, @Cutieplum, @Adunnee, @ifeoma77, @Joo2018, @Intellectualmum, @Rebe, @shege45 for their selfless help through this process. May God richly bless you all!

I submitted my e-APR in February, however, last Friday, I liquidated my mutual funds which I used as proof of funds, and then moved the funds to my Dom account.

Do you think I need to raise a cse to inform CIC of the change in POF account?

Hello House, thank you for the awesome job done on this platform. I need your expert advice on Express Entry. My IELTS results was received earlier today 9,7,7,8 (LRWS) and my calculated CRS score is 441. Even if I max-out on IELTS , it will still be 447. Currently, EE has a cut-off of > 471. What do you advice me to do?

Thank you.

Asking for a friend,
He evaluated both his BSc & MSc degrees with WES (guess he was mis-informed that he has to evaluated both).
Masters' evaluation is completed but Bsc is still pending as they couldn't see his diploma result.
Now he want to use only his masters degree which is already completed.
Should he sends message WES for them to remove BSc from his profile or Create another profile with WES and re-evaluate his masters only.

Thanks.

Sir, it's the age that's done you strong thing! Just imagine, between age 30 and 38, that's a whopping 40points loss!!
To be frank 440s won't cut it these days unlike in 2018/early 2019. The good news is all hope isn't lost. You can look in the direction of;
1. PNP: By going through the websites of the provinces that accept applications,
you can determine if your NOC is in-demand, then put in an app. Some of these provinces also run other streams you can benefit from. There is also a thread here on Nairaland that you can follow.
2. French/TEF: Nothing is too difficult to sacrifice when it comes to this journey, especially if you've come too far to call it quits. A beginner can learn French from scratch to a B2 level which, after you've sat for TEF, can fetch you at least 40points more. Max out your IELTS and pick the fourth score from top for each module of TEF (selected as a second language after IELTS) when simulating again using the CRS tool. You'll be encouraged at your score and that should be a boost in deciding to start learning French ASAP.
All the best now.

Lol.. You already answered the question. No need re-evaluating what's already been evaluated sir. She should just contact WES and ask for the removal of the BSc as you suggested.
But then, it's surprising that they went ahead to evaluate the masters without the BSc transcript. Quite unlike WES, except if the applications were separate.

Hello everyone;

Please can I get some help on something? Please what is a landing appointment and at what point will this be done? I was scheduled to land in Canada in April, but with all this coronavirus talk, it seems things are changing, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to land. I'm checking the cic.gc website for updates and I read that they are cancelling all "in-person permanent resident landing appointments". I've never heard of a landing appointment before, and I'm now wondering if this means that I won't be able to do my PR registration at the airport when I travel...

Please can anyone provide some insight on this please? thanks!
