Madcow:
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!

@Zeus04, please, kindly check your email. Thank you.


On the other hand, does anyone have an idea if PHRi can be converted to CPHR (BC & Yukon). I have seen some people say it's possible while others think SPHRi is what can be used. I need to clarify this. Thank you.


Nb - I sent an enquiry mail to the organization in question, but I'm yet to get any response.

dyduds:
Great!!.
One question though.. Could you write another post on your performance improvement activities leading to being #2 and #1

Yes, all glory to the one who makes things possible. However, I am certain there are people amongst the 340 salespersons who have personal relationships with God as well.

So while we ascribe the result to God for blessing your efforts, I'll appreciate if you share those efforts as well, so we can match our faith with work.

Thank you.

Dennyjuff:

Hey all,
On the Barter by flutterwave, after going back and forth with the company, there was no need tormenting myself. I called it quit and deleted the app. If any of people wants help, let them send the cash into my Scotia USD account, I do the rest. Enough!

taiwo92:
Hello everyone, please I have question. If my wife and I created a separate profile this having different scores and it happens that my wife or my own scale through the cut off. How do we proceed from there?

Ola240:
Download barter by flutterwave and create a virtual card, then fund it and pay with the card

phabulous88:


Let me summarize this for you Taiwo
When you create an EE profile, you typically do not submit any document. Based on the info you provided, the system generates a CRS score for you.
Now the person (you or ur spouse) whose CRS score is above the cutoff for that period receives an ITA. After receiving the ITA, you have 60 or 90 days (check the ITA document) to submit your eAPR, and upon submission, you receive an AOR.
U then submit your eAPR and include documents that supports the info you provided in your EE profile, including IELTS, ECA report (WES, IQAS, CES, etc.), PCC, POF, etc.
When you submit your eAPR, you receive an AOR. If your eAPR is good, you receive a PPR and then a COPR. Otherwise, you VO may send you an ADR.

If u have further questions, I suggest you read from Page 1 here: https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

MrKong:

Update any of your details and resubmit. You may not even change anything, just submit. Your crs score and details will display but the pending will still be there. I believe it would be approved in 7 days. I’ve seen people testified to it. Some others had to report a technical problem in the profile

MissMa01:

Any nigerian with a functioning bank account and BVN can use Barter to make their dollar payment.
Let them do that

Tonyamori:
I actually changed mine yesterday at 480 in black market so that I could pay for my CES llb . Payment successful
