Hello everyone

I am new to the canada hustle but I have read the first 30 pages of this thread.

I am currently in my mid 20s with a BSc and planning to use my CIPM as my 2nd degree. I also have 3 years of work experience (NYSC included)

My target score in IELTS is 8,8,7,7 in LSWR and I also want to take TEF Canada to boost my score.

Would you advise I take the French exam first before IELTS? I am also worried about processing my transcript because it takes like 3-6 months in my school

Hi there, you shouldn't be worried about your school taking 3-6months, you should start now, while your transcripts is in process, you can start practicing for ielts and aim to max out...
A total crs score of 474 can get you ITA in due time, since age is on your side. In my opinion no need for TEF..
Feel free to read page 1 extensively.
Good luck.

If you don't process your transcript, how will WES verify it?
Don't let seemingly small issues like that deter you from your goals.
You can do a short masters. But ensure it is legit and from a legit school. Even finishing that will take a longer time, though it will boost your score, and we don't know what cut-off would be next year
Also, aim for a higher score in IELTS

Play with the CRS calculator and see what the scores will give you, then you'd know that with your profile, 8777 is not that cool

Hello everyone.

How are you and I hope you are staying safe.

My AOR is May 2019

I have been waiting for a while now like everyone and i have submitted all the requested documents. I did my initial medicals about April 2019. My medicals was extended March 2020.

Yesterday i got an email to redo medicals. Did anyone get anything similar or has anyone done medicals again.

Thank you

Please i need some help

I have a passport that is expiring by April nxt year. My ielts result is ready . Just got it yesterday a band score of 8. L8.5 R8 S7.5 W7.

What i want to ask is can i enter the pool now. If i am granted ITA and a do a passport renewal hope it wont give any problem as i dont know if my new passport wld be the same id with the old one.

Generally, it is valid for 12 months. You would have got the redo email before now if not for covid19-induced delays.

If you get ITA soon, you can also submit your e-APR with the expiring passport. Then plan to renew when you can or asked to.

Your new passport will carry a new passport number but the old passport number will be written on the new passport in the section of previous passport or so.
I don’t think renewing your passport should be an issue if you’re using the same identity

Hello everyone ,

Please I will like to know if one can change their occupation on SINP expression of interest application.

My husband applied as a lecturer but it seems people who apply as administrative officers (I am an administrative have a better chance of being given an invitation to apply.

We applied since June of this year and we are yet to hear from them.

Thank you. I will appreciate your replies.

Good evening, Please I plan to add my new born (POST AOR) but I don't know how to about it. As in the surest and fastest way as regards passport and medicals. Thanks

Hello everyone,
Which language is advisable to be used as first languagee for someone of 40 years that has English and French language tests.
Using English gives a higher score which gives 50 points more than using French.
At this age Express entry may not be favorable due to high CRS cutoff.
However, I dont know if using French as first language has a better advanatge considering provinces who look out for french speaking candidates..

In this case which is advisable to be used as primary language to create a profile?
Thank you.

Go with one as 1st language, transmit and see what the CRS comes out as. Edit with the other one as 1st, transmit and see what the CRS comes out as. All depends on your exact scores in the 4 competences for each test.

Ontario have a French speaking program, not sure they have had a draw recently https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-express-entry-french-speaking-skilled-worker-stream

First of all, congratulations for embarking on this journey. You stand a very good chance. So start by evaluating your transcripts then you can start preparing/write the ielts. Your target score is not what you wrote there, it should be L8.5R8W7.5S7.5 with this, you get 474, and you woulf not need taking the TEF as this will give you an ITA based on current trend.

Thanks
With CRS calculator, English IELTS gave a score of 352 while french TEF gave score of 296, With this is it better I use French as first language just to position myself for provinces since even the english score is far from present CRS ITA scores.Or even if i use english as first language provinces can as still see me as a candidate who has french despite using french as a second langauge?
Your advise

Congratulations to all you got ITA..

I'll like to ask please. I intend entering the pool as my ECA is ready while I'm waiting for my IELTS results.

However, my spouse has not been able to do her ECA as the senate of her school is yet to approve her results.

What do you suggest here? Should I still go ahead or wait for her results to be ready?

Thanks you

Prisscindy:


Kindly let me know if you find anything, thanks. My friend is also in the same shoes but the university isn't ready to issue any statement of result to him

I'm having someone process it for me at Unilag. Same guy who handled WES but I'll admit it's been the ghetto given the strike, protests and all.

God bless you..thanks so much

no, my former workplace issues a digital reference letter. Alot of staff have used it without any issues.

Thanks. The guy I'm using told me I couldn't get a transcript, I wonder why? Plus he took 10k. Are you post-ITA? I am and I'd like to know if the foundation statement of result would suffice for upload as proof to support the undergrad certificate part of the ECA.

Sandy10:




No, you do not need statement of result for your diploma, all you need is the transcript for the diploma while for your Bsc, you need both the transcript and the certificate.

Best wishes

I assume you are speaking as per for submission to WES? Did that last year already, I'm post-ITA now and need the statement of result/transcript as a personal copy to upload on my profile.

Pls Help me can i still add my accompanying wife after AOR. And if i can. While filling for to enter the pools shld i fill as married but not accompanying or i shld put in as single .

because am Married Nd as its stand my CRS stnds at 478 but if i had my wife with just her BSC and waiting for her IELTS i wld wld be at the range of 469.

Pls what wld you advice i shld look at.

If you are the principal applicant, you can enter the pool AFTER you have your IELTS results, not before. This is to take advantage of the tie breaking rule.

You are permitted to enter the pool as married and add your wife, even if she doesn't have any ECA or IELTS yet. You will state that she doesn't have them yet. Once she has hers, update your profile to include her results.
