What you trying to achieve here. To claim 3 years, 6 months?
Maximum points you can get for work experience is 3 years which you already have.
This is funny but I'll try,
If that contract working experience is sweeting you much to add then,
1.IRCC has this for people like you

full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

This will be interesting because firstly, your 3 years experience from 2017 at your main job shrinks to 2 years 6 months .
To reclaim the additional 6 months that will make you eligible for maximum points for 3 years work experience, I have no idea if IRCC will count that as a direct 6 months but i guess they should because you already have the 1 continuous year requirement

2. To spice things up, If you even claim part time work for the 6 months, which would then mean both offices must also state that in yo letter then,

IRCC Work hours for Part time, taken as 15 hrs/week for 24 months which equals mandatory 1560 work hours for a year experience.
Note that if you worked like Jackie during this your moonlighting and did 35 hours/week, its non of IRCC's concern as only 30 hrs max per week will be scored. This definitely means you'll need to tweak the hours to meet 30hrs/week. I guess IRCC will also count this as 6 months like the one prior. I guess

I'll still like for you to try; unlock new levels for us

If you are not trying to claim points or anything, add the 6 months experience in your personal history and leave your main 2017 work THE WAY IT ARE

Thanks for the info.

My other question is, while working in another organization since 2017, I also took a 6 months job in another while still in my first job. Is it possible that I am working in two places at same time?

Hi @yemblaze @blissnenye @stencil johnnybravo10

Could you help a brother with mod IELTS material or any good materials/whatsapp group. i have been trying to pm you on here. I have gone through your priceless contributions on various threads, and i want to say thank you as it has guided me so far.

could you please email me on jimmya8011@gmail.com

I plan writing IELTS in the Month of March this year. But I have a concern, which is my Passport, it expires April 2022. Please can I go ahead and use it for the IELTS or does it have any effect if it expires immediately after or before I leave the country?

April 2022 is still far. Use it like that for IELTS for now. Renew when it is less than 6 months to expiry.

Please what’s EOI?

Also do you think I can use explain that I saved money through my sis and then collected everything now that I’m in Nigeria and also sold soles shares I have to raise my pof? This is my situation. My account had issues while I was abroad so I was sending money to my sis, now that I’m back she sent me the money together into a new account I just opened. Then I sold some shares in have and raised the balance. But my account is new and the two deposits came in in bulk.
I have entered the pool already since late December with a 460 score.

Google would have answered this first question. Anyways, EOI means Expression of Interest.

With all you explained above, if you intend to go through SINP. Please, note that they are not expect you to explain on how the money came as long as it has been in your account for 3months before lodging in your application proper.

As for EE, you are required to explain the bulk deposit into your account. I will leave this for others to advise don't don't give you a wrong advise.

nowhere:

Three months before EOI application submission. My guy lost out because of this. Submission period is never more than three months.

The rule is that the money must be in your account 3month before you lodge the nomination application and not EOI. Your guy obviously did n't play by the rules.

If you are having problems paying for Iqas, I can help you with that. I just paid today! As long as you have created a profile and submitted.

Congratulations Lexy123

Lexy123:
Late PPR announcement but really better late than never. Very long post alert!!!

ITA 496 - July 2020 (Cant remember the date but it was the first all program draw after covid drama)
AOR - August 8 2020
Biometric - Sept 2oish dont really remember
PPR - Nov 18
Vfs returned passport - Jan 22 2021 (run from vfs lagos abeg)

Background

Started japa plans since 2018 but never took it seriously. I glanced through nairaland that period and decided to start with IQAS. Did that and the evaluation came in Feb of 2019. But by then I was more interested in traveling to UK. I sat down with uk visiting thread (I can give Justwise a big kiss here). It was so self explanatory and easy to do I was like haaaaa.. Bear in mind I already had 2 UK refusals before I stumbled on the thread. But I get coconut head I said the 3rd time would be the charm. I sat down with that nairaland thread and did the visa by myself. Visa came out, I travelled and came back.

Over confidence was worrying me and I decided to apply for Canada visit also immediately I got the UK visa. Canada bounced me and said family ties in canada bla bla bla. I said no wahala, I would come back from UK and reapply. Then almighty covid happened. Lockdown ensued.

My sis called me one day during lockdown and said oya go and continue your canada pr. That's how I registered for MOD in May. Wrote it after lockdown and had 9, 9, 7.5, 8.5. Used ielts liz, a bit of Jay, cambridge 1-13 and youtube videos on listening. Dived into the pool and got ITA.

Got reference letter from my present and previous place of employment to make up 3 years. Sent bi-weekly whatsapp msgs to my previous boss to ensure I was fresh in his mind incase ircc called. Before village ppl would want to take control. Important to note that I was paid cash here and I worked here for over 2 years. I just stated it in the reference letter that I was paid cash das all. I didn't do cash certificate. It felt like I would be trying too hard if I added that. At the end of the day it's whatever makes you sleep at night.

I had 3 separate pair of eyes look at my application. I looked at it from the point of view of the VO also.

Saved up majority of my proof of funds and got the rest from my dearest mama.

After biometrics, the plan was to request for gcms every month (wetin consine agbero with overload). I would disturb then until they answer me. Lo and behold, first gcms in October showed everything passed, security not yet started. I started dancing. I knew it was about to go down. I sha have not committed any crime.

Nov 18 golden mail arrived and vfs lagos started their drama.

This thread is a treasure trove and for the newbies I beg of you read page 1. Everything you need is there. Almost somebody has passed through whatever questions you have and you will definitely find your answers there. I learnt by force by fire when I sent DM and nobody will respond. I kuku respected myself and found my way to page 1.

Justwise is the real MVP. Also all the selfless people who answer question here, I doff my cap to you. Did the whole process from begining to end without any agent help

See y'all in cannyland soon!!!

He started building the money after getting the EOI. He was refused! Heartbreaking something, children were already excited. Terrible!

It's 3 months before submitting your application, ie 2 months after receiving SINP ITA. So technically, 1 month before receiving SINP ITA is acceptable. It's not related to EOI submission date which even has 12 months validity if no ITA is received.

Thanks for the info.

My other question is, while working in another organization since 2017, I also took a 6 months job in another while still in my first job. Is it possible that I am working in two places at same time?

Did you read my reply?
I needed to know what are you trying to prove other than making your application a complex one.

I feel like typing sha, so let's examine it.

I have answered if it's possible to work in two places at the same time. I'll be basically repeating myself.This is from IRCC;
full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

The important part is IRCC requires one year continuous work in your primary NOC.
So even if 6 months in year 2017-2018 is shared between your contract and main job (i dont know if that can/will be called a continuous year for your primary NOC) - maybe it will since there are no gaps (6 months full time to another 6 months full time in one or more jobs).
Also hoping that 2018 till 19' was strictly full time at your primary noc in main job - this satisfies that requirement.

Let me just chip this for clarity: you cannot have worked in a place for 3 years, then did a 6 month contract work in that 3 year period then expect to get a total of 3 year, 6 month experience.

I have always wondered what type of illness would prevent one from passing medicals. Any idea?

Danger to public health
Danger to public safety
Excessive demand on health or social services''

Hello all.

I got an ADR yesterday for a UK PCC and Statement of account showing my salary. I checked where I am supposed to upload my documents but its only the PCC field that was provided. Can I merge my PCC and Statement of account together as one file and submit under the Police certificate field?

‘HOW TO SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH’

I'm currently experiencing a similar situation. Please have you gotten a way around it?

Or does anyone know how to locate the form?

nigonus:
Hello all,

I'm trying to create my express entry profile, but can seem to locate the form.

I've gone through the eligibility check tool and even generated a personal reference code, but for the life of me, I can't seem to locate the form to submit my profile.

I've followed this link (https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html) but it keeps me going in circles and providing information without taking me to the page itself.

Any help please

I know this might be considered derailment. So apologies.
