Please how do i find my way to page 1. I need to go there and read up before creating my profile, please help a sister.

Hmmm... it’s not even about the people asking the questions but those not directing them to Page 1. Read page 1 first and ask questions after.

Answers to all the questions been asked repeatedly are on Page 1 and PPR stories shared here. But if they have refused to read page 1, is it now PPR stories they would read?

Use the CRS calculator to check your points and stop asking people to help calculate your score.

Search for samples of reference letters on page 1 and stop begging people to send it again or better still send a private message to ask for it. And you can only send a PM to people that can help if you have read through the pages to know those to reach out to.

I need a contact person for so and so school, go through the thread or search for people on the thread that have responded to such question in the past.

Hello Future Canadians! How are you today?

We are just here to send our good wishes to those who would be writing the BCS Certificate in IT exams tomorrow and the next.

We pray that you all write excellently well and pass out in flying colours.

Looking forward to the future members of our next cohort.

Hello folks,
So i promised I'll share ielts victory here before the exams and here i am to do just that......
IELTS MOD
1st Attempt
L8.5, R9 W7.5 S7 (the S is quite painful sha..I even made the lady laugh a good number of times!!!!! How does one satisfy these folks at the speaking test??
As for preparation, I wont say i did a lot of it....I do a mad 8 to 7, five days week and una know lagos life now....so i had 2 weeks to prepare, 30 minutes per day on the average.
I cant end this without mentioning that i prayed the Saint Joseph of Cupertino exam prayer(I am a Baptist though lol) as advised by a brother here sometime ago and folks, did it work?!!!!.....Like a charm!, the only form of essay i love- 'Disagree or Agree' was what came up in my writing task 2..the topic was a topic i have a lot of info about....In short, writing was a breeze. Some minutes to the end of the Reading exam, my eyes caught a reading answer i got wrong and i corrected it. Let me stop here.

ITA and PPR gist next....Amen

so folks, i am back again o...EOR returned successful...remember i said i wasnt happy about MOD 'giving' me 7.0 in speaking after i 'gave' it on february 13. Well sha, they have given me 7.5 ooo so i have joined the league of those who have maxed out ielts in one attempt. Now sitting on 470 and hopefully hoping.

Rotfl.. Like seriously? Wow!

Please anybody who has used WES for law school help me out ooo. Wes accepted wifey's verification from law school initially and today they accepted verification for LLB only for them to change initially accepted verification for BL to "awaiting verification " . I called them immediately and I was told it's a secondary verification. Is this how it's done? Help a brother

I don't think it applies to everyone but I had similar experience, though I'm not a lawyer. Sometimes, they would just decide to request for yet another verification from your school.

It can be frustrating but you have no choice than to get back to the right quarter for a re-reply. I hope your school won't act like mine by insisting that they have replied the earlier verification mail sent to them and that they are sure the mail got delivered. Until, I decided to screensnap my timeline where the "Awaiting Verification" reflected, I couldn't convince my school.

Please act now to avoid further delay of your wife's ECA completion.

470 is a pretty good score. Hopefully, by the time all this obani-coro wàhálà subsidize, the score may even come down.

Occupation written on your birth certificate is not important. No one will check that. You are not expected to be in same profession forever na.

This is not quite correct!
We've had someone on this thread who was asked by CIC why occupation she claimed work experience in and that stated on her marriage certificate is different. Look through the thread for her story, I do not remember her moniker.

@Mirian91,
Please ensure you do not make any changes on your marriage certificate as it will get invalidated.
Rather submit your application with your marriage certificate and hope for the best. In reality, most people in the same boat did not have any issues with VO as they tend to overlook this; however, might this kind of case come up with your application just explain that you were an "Administrative Analyst"

Sikena!

Hello!

I was in your position (I was 37 years last year) and got the same advice you have gotten regarding learning French and writing TEF and looking at PNP.

Those are realistic options for only very few people who have a flare for Languages, are in occupations in demand or have relatives in certain provinces in Canada.

Please evaluate your circumstances and make the best decision for you fast. In my case, I initially started online French classes paying as much as (N5,000 per hour), bought text books and downloaded apps such as Duolingo. It was after about 3months I concluded TEF was not for me and all those funds had gone down the drain.

My wife is 6years younger than myself, so we later changed strategy and patiently got all she required to become the Principal Applicant and now we have gotten our COPR.

I ordinarily would have stopped here but permit me to go a little further, and please disregard and forgive me if it offends you (it is just an innocent word of advise). I see your Marital status says "Separated". It doesn't say "Divorced". If you have kids, I believe you embarked on this journey probably to secure a better future for them. So, if your wife is younger and has a Master's degree, and it is possible to work out a means of reaching a truce with your her (for the sake of the kids and for the sole purpose of immigration) to be the PA, kindly consider it.

CRS score cut offs aren't coming down anytime soon. Best to act fast.

Bottom line is because of age, with the exception of getting a job offer, getting a provincial nomination or getting a B2 level in TEF (all of which are a tall order for many) you are realistically unlikely (although I can't rule out a miracle) to make it through as the Principal applicant. Liaise with someone who can...

Please, don't be offended by my advice. I just wouldn't want you wasting money and time like I did. My profile as the PA, expired 3months ago after 12months, with no Notification of interest. All my Expression of interest profiles to Prince Edward island and Manitoba did not yield any nomination either. After spending money trying to learn French, I doubt I can even get an A1 or A2 level in TEF, yet you get NO points unless you get a minimum of B2 level in TEF.

There are lots of people here taking the route of learning a new language, do not discourage anyone. Paying 5k per hour and downloading all the French app on playstore wouldn't automatically make you start speaking French, you have to work hard. It's like paying for Chris Pell and I don't take action and I expect to pass my IELTS just because I paid.

To those learning French to boost their CRS score, keep the fire burning, it is achievable.

Oh I see. Thank you.

Bros, I hail oh! No be quarrel na.

My post was not intended to discourage anyone, and I apologized in advance to the OP and anyone that would be offended.

It is just best to be realistic when advising people, and it is left for us adults to pick and choose what to believe - after all, this is a public forum and we are simply sharing our opinions and experiences.

People may tell others to look at PNP, which may be an option for some; but in reality, not many people are in occupations in demand or can even dream of getting a job offer from Naija. So, not a realistic option for many.

Also, you cannot be telling thousands of people to keep on running and very soon they will be faster than Usain Bolt, without cautioning those with hypertension and pot bellies to take it easy and find another way; that is deceit. Some motivational speakers have wrecked many lives this way. Please always caution people on their chances of success in any venture (how many people go through in %) and the associated risks (time and money wasted).

I maxed out my IELTS (Academic and General Training) and I managed to scale through medical school, so I am not a dull student. Learning a new language (in this case - French) for fun might be nice - to be able to say basic stuff and sound sophisticated. But the target for Canadian immigration (which is the ultimate aim of everyone on this thread) is far from 'Bonjour' alone as one requires a level of proficiency in French (comparable to that required to score 8,7,7,7 in IELTS) in Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing to attain B2 in TEF, as you get NO points for getting even a B1 in any aspect (I stand to be corrected).

I took a break from work and tried as much as I could for 3months, yet learning French to attain B2 level was like someone telling me that with my pot belly I should keep hope alive to break Usain Bolt's 100metres world record in Japan 2020 - impossible without a miracle (thank God I later came to my senses). I just do not have a flare for languages as I cannot even speak my local dialect - and I know I am not alone. "O man know thyself".

For some, learning a new language comes naturally, but they will develop headache on the sight of a thick anatomy textbook or a Math problem. For others, the reverse is the case. We are not all the same. So, please if while motivating people to take action, you add the caveat of "please know yourself and decide what works best for you", I believe that is not aimed at discouraging anyone.

Without a flare for languages, my brother, French is hard and might not be a realistic pathway for many. This is however, just my opinion.

Again, please don't stone me with curses. Apologies in advance.

Boss, I no dey insult person for public forum.

I get your point, all I am saying is their are a lot of people who are thinking of following the French route, what do you think might happen when they come across your post. I am presently on the French route to boost my score after maxing IELTS, it's not easy, but it's achievable,and it's also cheaper than getting married to a younger lady with MSc considering the high cost of bride price. Lol.

I great you boss.

I love your Usain Bolt and pot-belly analogy!!!

True, people need to count the cost before putting their hands to the TEF plough (it is a guzzler of time and money and mega bytes of data)..but you'll be surprised what people who have no flair for languages can achieve when they put their minds to it.

In reality, the race may involve writing TEF multiple times, but if folks can write IELTS 3, 4, 5 times to increase CRS, get ITA and check out of Nigeria...why not TEF....It all depends on how much you want the COPR and what your driving force is. #MyOpinion

Just a little correction though, CLB7 in IELTS is equivalent to LRWS 6666....hopefully someone will see that TEF CLB 7 may not be impossible after all...and to provide the English context most of us are operating at IELTS CLB9 or 10!

Peace bro, no quarrel!

our very own mamaroon!!! Ca fait longtemps! I agree with you totally. Those taking the French route are those who really have their minds set on Canada and are willing to give anything to achieve that dream. They are already self-motivated knowing there's no alternative (no pnp, no sibling points in most cases) and take each obstacle as a challenge. Their level of optimism is unparalleled. They are not wishful thinkers. They are hardworking, dedicated people.

Like mamaroon has said, if you fit into the description above, join the TEF Nairaland thread and learn french to boost your score. For me, it's the only pragmatic way especially if you've maxed ielts and your crs is still low due to age.

learning french to boost your score score is very achievable. I did that from ground level 0 last year and got 45 points from TEF. I got ITA at age 38. I've seen others do that as well. Visit the TEF Nairaland thread and read from page 1. That was how I got inspired to start the journey and it paid off.

But it requires a high level of dedication, self-discipline and tremendous hardwork and optimism. The year is still quite fresh. I took my decision about this time last year.

I'm just sitting here waiting for today's draw!!

Saw this somewhere... Dont know how true it is

@SunshineD1 how are you doing today? Any news from AVO?

This silence from them is disturbing. At least this time last year, AVO has started dropping PPRs in large numbers.
