Oga I'm not in for plenty talk. I've given s/he my bit. Drop yours as well and let the the candidate decide!

Ghaliz:
I wouldn't speak in absolutes, apps are tricky but if you get the hang and get an actual speaker it can work wonders. Also Cotonou is the worst place bar Lome to do "immersion" for French. Their French is super inflected by their native language, most don't speak a lick of French and when they do it is broken French likely to undo all your hard work. Like I previously stated if you must immerse yourself try Abidjan and/or Daka if going to France is out of the question.

In addition take everything you see online with a pinch of salt, believe nothing don't contact anyone privately, demonstrate extreme scepticism. Don't get scammed.

Tfpdl has been showing me error, any solution pls

Dont be decieved,the honest truth is using social apps is the slowest way to learn speaking. You'll deal with scammers, different time zones, individual daily schedules. You'll lose focus with time.
Just go to cotonou for immersion, you'll be amazed at how fast you'll blend because you wouldn't want to sound odd. If you can't afford to stay long, make friends and bargain with them on practicing speaking even when you're in Nigeria. Except you don't plan on writing tcf, then quit apps and face real life.
When you're fluent a bit, practice with chat gpt pro for corrections. With this strategy I got C1 for writing and speaking

I am having issues getting native speakers on Hello Talk, or probably I dont know how to use the app.
Also, can you share the prep pack you used from the francophone countries?

Same useless question, every other day

You have the right to request for OR bring a female chaperone during physical examination

How long did you learn? Tcf is fond of this band 9 trap but you also didn't pass CE.
I would say don't really rush to retake the exam, so you won't get a repeated result. Use ayoub pack and practice exam questions daily
Bon courage!

I sat for mine early last month & painfully missed the cut-off mark by just 1 pt in Writing,
This was my result; CO - 524, CE - 446, EE - 9, EO - 10. Just 1pt in EE killed my result. So I'm rewriting.

Almost 100m just to study, there will be major changes in express entry next year. It's better to learn French and get pr from Nigeria than spend so much with uncertainty getting pr in few years

Thank you for your response

Just put those jobs in personal history, only claim points with the recent experiences you have and can sufficiently prove

Padraic:
Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice or insight from people familiar with Express Entry or who may have been in a similar situation.

About 5 years ago, I created an Express Entry profile but never received an ITA, and the profile eventually expired. I no longer have access to that old profile and don’t remember all the details I entered.

Now I’m creating a new profile, and I’ve realized that one of the work experiences I included back then (from 2018) is different from what I’m including now. In my current profile, I’ve listed a role as a Technical Support Analyst, based on my actual records and documents. However, I honestly cannot remember what I had entered for that same period in the old profile. The period in question was quite busy for me. I was fresh graduate and I was doing many things at the same time. I was working full time at a clinic as a tech support analyst, I was also working full time, for a hotel, mostly on sleep-in night shifts (10pm -5am) where I only work if needed (and I am very rarely needed). Both jobs are very different and with different SOC codes. I have never applied for any Canadian visa before.

All my other work history is consistent , it’s just this one job in 2018 that’s different.

My questions are:

Has anyone been in a similar situation where their old Express Entry profile had different information?

Does IRCC actually compare expired profiles with new ones?

Should I be concerned about misrepresentation in this case, even if my current profile is accurate and truthful?

Would it be better to include this job or leave it out, even though it is essential for CRS points?

Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Better be careful with whatever you do, it should be within the boundaries of your visa. For future security and inadmissibility background checks.

How easy will it be for me to switch to express entry Cost?

You have to provide extra documentation like employer tax paye filed for you. Bank statements showing you deposited your salary after collecting cash etc

Stunningsail:
please what if salary was paid in cash?

Back in the good ol' days. Now ircc is stricter, attach bank statements to avoid PFL

Stunningsail:
Good day guys,
Please quick question
Do people get approved by submitting just reference letters?

Imo, bank statements are weightier if one wants to show additional documents because IRCC can see the salary trail.
If they didn't specify on tax return for adr, you can use bank statements to easily justify your employment. But if they asked specifically for tax return, you may need to seek a professional consultant as this is complicated to avoid misrepresentation.

If I may ask what were the initial docs submitted to prove employment apart from the reference letter?

Switchbuck41:
Hi all, my younger brother got an ADR for tax form. I’m assuming that’s the tax clearance certificate which we have. The problem is the gross annual pay on the tax cert is different from the gross pay at his work place—it’s about 1M more on the tax cert. this is because he self declared his other source of income to the Internal Revenue Service in Ogun state. So from his employer, he earns 120k in a month but he does side gigs: lesson teacher, completes assignments for students in uni for cash payment around 10-11k every month and he declared it for taxes so they’ve just always added it to his primary employer’s tax deduction. But he didn’t declare this to IRCC cos he didn’t want to complicate his application since it’s a cash payment and no proof of it. Should we go ahead to submit the tax cert as requested and wait for an explanation or should we provide an explanation for the discrepancy upfront? I’ve read that putting extra info complicates applications that’s why we’re confused. I’d appreciate any advice pls. Thank you

Hello house, a little noc confusion

My noc Employment requirements states:

1. Completion of secondary school is usually required.

2. Completion of a one- or two-year college or other program for administrative assistants or secretaries or previous clerical experience is required.

But I was doing this job remotely while in university.
So I have the first requirements but I didn't take any program or have prior experience before the job.

Good day kings in the house

Please I need your take on this
There’s this girl I met — she just relocated from Abuja to Lagos. She’s the sister to my senior man’s wife.

I’ve been very close to their family before I relocated to another area, but I still visit them often. My senior man’s wife likes me a lot.

So, one day when I visited them, I met this girl and collected her number. I’m 35, and she just turned 27.

She was actually the first to chat me up, and we started vibing well. Most times, she’s the one who initiates our chats.

I’ve visited her at her workplace before; we’ve kissed twice on different occasions. She has even sent me money for food twice. I’ve never given her money before — I only spend a little when we hang out for drinks.

Last Sunday was her birthday. I went to see her, called her on the phone, and she came out without telling her sister where she was going. I took her to a bar, and we lodged for about an hour — we had sex.

While we were at the bar, her sister kept calling her several times, but she didn’t pick up.

After everything, I escorted her back home and even spent some time with her sister’s husband at a nearby bar before heading back to my place.

I didn’t call her that night. The next morning, I called — but she didn’t pick, which is unlike her because she always calls me “back” whenever she misses my call.

Since then, I haven’t called her again.

Also I bought her body spray as a gift for her birthday

What do you think I should do, kings?

My IELTS is on the 9th of this month and i am super tensed. I need help on how to overcome Listening

Those who took the exam in Cotonou, how were you able to register? because they told me they don't have any monthly schedule for their exam. You just fill a form and they call you when there's space.
Lagos is more expensive but well organised

Pls house how do I improve speaking?
When I speak to a French friend, in my mind I think I'm correct but she keeps asking me 'ehn ehn' in all my conversations Its frustrating pls any tips to have the accent?

.

This thread has turned out to just be for questions.
Please those that write should kindly give feedback on how the exam went

Does anyone have any site that have practice questions, for all the 4 tasks. Merci

I was expecting that application to Pharmacy in your story Back then in school, the dean will tell us 'Better tell your friends that failed MB, not to apply here. Pharmacy is not a dump site' lol.

Congratulations, you just brought back school memories. I had same experience from close friends

Duolingo is not a serious way to learn French o

YoungDaddyB:

You get AI learning and one of payment of N99900 to be shared by 6 people for 1 year subscription. Each person pays 16500 naira for a year subscription to help us write the TEF exams. Anyone interested let me know please

Gosh! You talk too much for a man. Online alpha male, offline sissy *(pukes🤮) No man of substance as you claim blaabbss about online What a shame!

iLegendd:
E be like say I go ignore you before you push me into exposing my worth.

Just know that, academically, I was top 3 in Nigeria and top 2 abroad with a distinction.

Physically, I'm muscular and healthy — I never miss exercise.

Spiritually, I'm average — deviating from religion gradually.

Financially, I don't begged for money no matter the hardship from family members or outsiders — I give (especially when I have) before people go start to dey send DM to bill me.

Intellectually, I find solutions to problems faster than most people I have ever met home and abroad. It's only my guy in Spain that finds solutions faster than me. I don't know where that one got his own brain. I'm still the one that taught him female psychology and how to get any woman and last long in bed while he taught me a lot about technology hacking, etc., which is even my field.

With my big muscle and big dick, you known no say I suppose get standard and pride? So, I choose, not you.

If you call someone like me with all the muscular and brain weak, I wonder what you'll call other men.

Feminist no really get brain and choice sha. Always attacking men toll menopause and they become bitter. For me, I like women and will always treat them well, massage them, cook for them when I'm happy, f*ck them like no one ever would, pamper them, fight with them, reconcile, f*ck them again, spend what I'm willing to lose, etc., but don't ever insult me directly or indirectly or my mom or even any of my siblings — I don't forgive or forget. I have a journal where I write everybody's offences down no matter how little it is.

So, that's a little bit of me.

Sorry but was this information stated on the official website?
