Guys, I just got ppr and thinking of doing a remed such that my visa ll be valid for another year. Do you think ircc honour unsolicited remed done post ppr

Congratulations on your PPR!

Do you mean you received a mail to submit your passport but want to do medicals before submitting your passport for stamping and COPR?

Depends on so many factors, I think:
* on how long you have been given to send your passport
* on the VO you plan to send to and how quickly it will take your passport to get there
* on how long it will take your medicals to be updated on your profile

You could give it a try, but the question is will your medicals be passed quickly enough by IRCC for the new date to be incorporated on your visa and COPR when issued.

Please what was your VO? I actually thought IRCC were not issuing PPRs any longer because of the travel restrictions...interesting times...

PS: people do remedicals all the time, without being asked.

i dont understand. the remed will not have any relationship with your account. they didnt request for it and it wouldnt be linked to your account. if you can travel, why wait?


Apparently, I cant travel. I didnt just get ppr. It has been pending copr since January 5 in London Visa office

Please, can anyone answer these questions.

I need advice on how to go about work experience for canada express entry.

I worked as an administrative assistant for one year and five months during my internship between my ND and HND. Then 8months in the same job role but different firm during my NYSC.
Can I merge this as 2years?

Post NYSC, I worked for 8months then the contract was called off for one month. Resumed to same position as an audit intern for 5 months. Can I merge it as 1year experience?

No. She needs to evaluate HND and OND to get two or more degrees. The highest earned degree is applicable for Masters, PhD, or if someone only has a Bachelors.

HND and OND will give more points than HND alone.


Okay noted.

It depends on many several things e.g. if you were paid, number of hours worked etc

Hey guy, please I need a clarification. I have both ND and HND which I believe it's 2 or more certificate, but which of the certificate will Wes classify as 3 years degree?

Hello All,

Good Evening.

Please I need help.
I am about writing my ACCA exams, I want to know if WES evaluates F1-F3 (with F1 as an exemption) as a 1 year equivalence.

Also I also want to do a diploma in Business and Accounting, will it be evaluated as a 1 year equivalence?

Your responses will be appreciated.
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by Naughtyvirgin(m): 4:05pm On Feb 23, 2021
The last part of your question is confusing. 3 years cert for what?.

Just evaluate your ND and HND to get two or more certificates.

I'd advise you get a remed done. Most people that are victims of the new 6 months medical validity for getting passports stamped are having their passports sent back without stamping, especially AVO.

WES regards HND as Three years, that's how mine was evaluated.

I am not too sure about this. It seems safe to leave as it is but someone else might be able to give you better info.

If you eventually decide to change it to USD note that if you are using BDC/black market, you would be changing it at about 485 so that would reduce your POF and you would have to add a considerable amount.
I changed half of my POF before application at around $485 and had to add close to 800k-1 million naira to get the equivalent, even though I already had half of the POF in my USD account(family of 2)

We oftentimes have amnesia as it relates to Gods faithfulness and how he has helped even with things that seem so little and insignificant. I write this to hopefully encourage whoever reads to firstly trust God that although you may not be where exactly you want to be, trust God and he would comfort you and help you.
I had my soft landing with my family in December 2019, In the 4 week period, God blessed us with good people, quality accommodation fully furnished, and my full drivers license one-time. My family was settled so I went back to Nigeria to prepare, for my hard landing. I gave myself 3 months to prepare (work my notice period and liquidate assets in Nigeria).
God was so kind; a friend took over my apartment alongside everything I wanted to dispose off (saving me from the stress of selling items in piecemeal) paid the rent, bought my car and paid upfront and moved in with me. Then Covid-19 hit, and the airports were locked… confusion erupted! Nonetheless, God was still kind. My former place of work extended my notice to cover whenever I was able to leave the country and also my friend accommodated me in my former apartment at no cost to me.
Towards the end of June 2020, I got an evacuation flight at a miraculous price and returned on my hard-landing as we call it here. The first couple of days in self-isolation were very restful. I slept ate watched tv and continued sleeping. By the end of the 1st week I became bored and I decided to start applying for jobs. When I got my first rejection email, it hit me hard and all of a sudden confusion erupted again as I began to question my decision to leave Nigeria. The novelty of being close to my wife and kids soon faded. I tried to pray but nothing was coming out. Later that day, I came across an old friend’s testimony on his wife’s Instagram page #healo’clock. He was speaking about faith in the fire and how he turned to worshiped whenever he found himself in a dark place. There and then I began to worship, and the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance Gods promises to me that He had prepared and is bringing me into a beautiful future.
Looking for a job is a job in itself, editing one’s CV and to reflect the JD of each job advert is no easy task. In my entire career, all the jobs I have held were either through referrals or headhunting, I have never really had to apply so looking for a job was new terrain. I did not want to live on our savings so I discussed with my wife, exploring the possibility to purchase a vehicle and drive on a ride-hailing service at least until I got a Job. We prayed and agreed but the Master Planner was working in the background. Later that day, my land lady called to ask if I had a driver’s license and mentioned that she knows I would need a car to move around, advising me not to purchase a car yet until things stabilized and there is a genuine need. She handed me car keys to one of her cars for my use (this is a 2018 car, and it is 8 months and counting, I am still using the car not having to pay for insurance just fuel)
On the 10th of July 2020, I got a random email from a lady I networked with during my soft landing (She is an immigrant herself from Iran and she advised on getting a survival job that may not necessarily be in line with your career path, so one is able to earn and spend without diminishing ones savings) asking if I was still searching and if I was interested in a work from home sales opportunity. I answered yes and to cut the long story short, I got a job offer on the 24th of July to start on the 1st of August.
I had not done sales in the past; it was new terrain. I remember during the orientation training after a poor presentation I was so sad/frustrated, thinking to myself “me that was an Oga in Lagos and subject matter expert in my field now selling and imploring people to buy items I don’t even believe they need”.
I started the job and was doing enough to get by and applying for other opportunities (come and see rejection email… brekete) I developed thick skin and could not even be bothered to read the rejection email or give myself totally into applying to other opportunities. In September and October, I was on Performance Improvement Plan and if no improvement by the 3rd month (November) I would be out of work. My prayer point changed, in addition to landing the international job, I began to ask God to help me do the one that my hands found to do with all my might as Ecclesiastes told us. To cut the long tori short, In Dec 2020 I was ranked #2 out of over 340 salespeople in the Company, in Jan 2021 I was #1 and now in Feb MTD I am ranked #1 and the sales commission is going a long way. I cannot say I am special or better than others but all I can say is Na Baba GOD do am!
Today, I got a rejection email from an application I made to an international company, it pained me because I had 2 panel interviews, a full-day assessment center and final interview with the CEO. Initially, I was sad, but I refuse to have amnesia. I remember Gods promises and how He has helped and blessed me in the past and I have hope in the truth that He will bless and help me again. My story has encouraged me and I hope it will encourage someone else that although this journey not appear to be easy nonetheless God is omnipresent and he is still in the background working things out for your good.
I cannot wait to come back to tell you that God has done it!

Thanks so much for sharing ! It was this in bold for me...I join you in refusing to forget.

Ps: how do sales people actually sell what they don't believe others need? grin
