This one is nonsense, forgive me sha but if you as an immigrant is anti immigration, you should be the first person to leave! No two-way around it

You will be forgiven when you get on ground and face the realities! If you read his post very well, the issue is not because immigrants are anti-immigrants but when immigrants and all other members of the society see the challenges they face in “accessing” basic things, they wonder on the need for more. It is a natural instinct to survive.

If you get on a rescue boat, and the captain continues to allow more people, you may want to ask at what point he will stop allowing more people because you are dealing with finite resources…

One Nipost officer is using it to fan himself in this heat

I need help . I have the BCS certificate in IT and i got it evaluated by WES.

I received ITA and i am currently compiling all my documents to apply. However, i noticed i was asked to provide Police report in England and im guessing its tied to my BCS certification.

Can someone who has gotten PPR or has landed in Canada and completed this process (ie utiising the BCS certificate as a second cert) advise me on how this was handled.

Thanks in anticipation of a swift reply

Did you quote a UK address?

Greetings NLders!!

I recently took my Ielts exam and I'm hoping it comes out positive. For folks who wrote yesterday being the 1st of April I would like to know if there was any answer in the last section like "drylands" and can dis be written as one word only, bkaux the option says one word and I think I heard something like drylands..

You have to be kidding me, this is not what this thread is meant for.

Ravissante:
So who now is the purveyor of bad news. Bebeto

Hehehehe, don’t worry about people and their negativity.

I tried making use of her birth certificate, it was requesting for expiring date how can I go about this cos I can’t proceed. Is there anyone who as had similar situation.

Why not get her a passport to avoid complications as you are already creating

dipset01:
Why is no one responding the waiting is really getting to me, I would expect my medical result will have change nw

Oga keep your panic to yourself, no one works with IRCC here! All you can do is wait, if you allow it get to you, it is all your fault. Check on IRCC site for processing time for PR, you are way way within that time please!

Good evening guys. Please I want to know if medical 1 year internship can be used as work experience, and also nysc work?

Yes, if it was paid

Jenykech:
Hi guys. How does immigration officers determine you still have your complete POF in your account before issuing PPR. I want to touch my POF, like 200k out of it but I will replace it when my salary comes by beginning of next month. I submitted my application on 19th March. Is there a way for them to know I touched it? And will this stop them from issuing PPR?

Thank you

No way for them to know

Crafts:
Please house, I recently got ITA for EE. I started filling the IOM form for medical. I saw some options
1. Immigrant
2. Skilled immigrant
Etc

Please which one should I select? Also please any telegram link

I will appreciate if I get a response

Skilled immigrant

Timmypaul:
Happy Sunday guys a quick one, can I switch a Uk drivers license to Canadian drivers license without writing exam when I get there.

No

dabyem:
Seen. But I don't quite understand the table.
Please explain.

Multiply 0000.00299980 by any amount you have to know the CAD equivalent. Or Divide your required POF by 0000.00299980 to know the equivalent you need in Naira. The rate is fairly close to Oanda but I’ll personally use Oanda and put a note “at current exchange rate”

Thequeeen:
Hello all, with the recent surprise draw, I want to start arranging my POF incase I get ITA in upcoming draws as current score is getting close to my score.

I’m considering submitting 2 bank statements as POF. I was thinking of submitting my current salary account which is in Euros and has an equivalent of about 8k CAD. Not a lump sum but salary savings.
I will get the balance to make up the 13k CAD from my dad paid to my Nigerian Naira bank account and then provide the 2 bank statements.

The issue now is that the balance of 4m Naira will be sent to my Nigerian account as a lump sum.(does the money have to be in my account for 6 months?)
I plan to submit a gift deed alongside this and use the 2 statements as pof.
Please does this make sense? Is it acceptable to submit 2 bank statements? I’m asking because I don’t want to make mistakes or cause issues for myself, thanks in advance

It certainly makes sense

Tintin933:
Hello Family,
The last Ontario Tech draw had cut off at 479. My current crs is 475 please do you think it can come down for me to get a chance?
with Express Entry i have lost hope at 475

please i need ideas

If you have lost hope, what are you hoping to hear?

spongeisback:
Thanks for your reply, I’ve been trying since yesterday I even downloaded a new browser.

Use a VPN, works for me.

saskatoonguy:
though i have not submitted. I have start filling but right i will delete the profile outrightly. Thank you

Do you have to delete the profile or recalculate it

Prettiepearlz:
I hope you were patient enough to leave your profile as it is and get today’s invite. A surprise draw of 484, all programs draw, 7000 invites was done today.

The points can always be recalculated before submitting the ITA.

@aestake thanks for your initial post on delaying OINP, it inspired me to look at it properly and came to understand that Ontario was just trying to raise funds. Eventually didn’t submit the OINP and in on this one. I have always maintained that the numbers will come down, that is the only way to get 400k plus people in.

Hi Senior parents in the house,

My family and I are planning to land in Canada towards the end of May. I’m currently pregnant and will be 30 weeks pregnant by the time we land. Our plan is to land in Burnaby, BC given that my brother stays there and himself and his wife have offered to house us during our initial months especially given my current state.

From my research, the Medical Service Plan (MSP) for BC doesn’t become active until you have spent 3 months in the province. The advice given by BC government is for newly-landed immigrants to register for private insurance that can cover them during the 3 month waiting period. However, private insurance doesn’t seem to cover childbirth. I will most likely go into labour before the lapse of the 3 months and because I’ve had a prior C-section, I am likely to have a C-section again. The out-of-pocket cost for C-section is around CAD12k which is a lot and unlikely to be refunded by the time my MSP becomes active.

I’d appreciate any advice I can get from those who have had babies in their first few months of landing. What do you think is my best bet?

If your status permits, you can wait and give birth in Nigeria before traveling, it will save you a fortune. But like others mentioned, better to land in another province that offers immediate MSP. I would prefer the latter personally, if you are traveling with your spouse, it is good you hit the ground running immediately. I personally would avoid staying with a relative, that’s a different topic entirely.

This thread is staying too long on 419.. lol

Cannytravels:
Good day everyone. I have a question. Let's say I started working in a firm in 2019 and was paid in cash. Then in 2022 May, I got promoted and they started crediting my account. In this case, do I present both cash certificate and bank statement alongside my reference letter?

2. Should my reference letter state that I was paid in cash for 2years? Thanks.

Yes, present both and let it be stated in your reference

Nnennaokorie:
Please guys I have a question to ask!
My father started depositing money into my account since 2020 because of my plans of studying in Canada, he usually deposits 209,000 in my account every month since 2020 till date , I also got a job in the same 2020 as a personal assistant and I earn 150,000 monthly and the money is being paid in the same account, now I’m ready to apply for a study permit and I am my sponsor, I want to show my own bank statement….. now the question is, do I need to prove that my father gifted me money, and how do I prove it.

Please i need help guys, thank you

Wrong thread but I’ll like to help out, this depends on the total sum you have in your account. If the sum you have in your account from the last 4-6months will cover the cost of your studies then you don’t need no gift deed. But if your dad will still be sending you a lump sum, then, a gift deed will be required.

Nora064:
I have my main POF, was just wondering if I can add it

Add it as home ties

Please guys, I’m interested in understanding why that youtube video is wrong. This is a genuine question, can some just help explain. Is it legally wrong or socially wrong? I watched some parts of the video and they said there was nothing illegal about it and they had registered online. I’m asking so I can be educated.

To bring a perspective to it, it was “morally wrong”. The New comer in that video is not the class of people food bank is meant for. If you have a Car and can legally drive, you have no business with a food bank. When relocating you are meant to have some settlement funds, let’s assume this wasn’t existent, it means you already lied about your finances and there could be a legal side to it if properly investigated.
Also, the recording was secretly carried out, none of the people in the video knew they were being recorded. It could be interpreted in various ways, legally or morally but you can be sure who would be at a disadvantage.

Llaye:
Ok thanks. I understand the recording without consent part. (even though in most countries, you don’t need permission to record or photograph people in public places, not sure what the law is in Canadian)

I’m really more interested in the food bank visit. Why is it wrong to use the food bank as newcomers to Canada?

As you mentioned “public place” that was no public place. And even places where you have CCTVs it is always been mentioned that there is a camera watching you.

naijainstinct:
Thanks Prof. Well noted Sir and thanks for your unending contribution on the thread. I am not particularly happy with everything happening in the country but we cannot keep disparaging our country to the ground at every opportunity we have. I will gladly fly the Nigerian flag in Canada Sir.
Canada is not heaven. E just be say we no fit dey talk everything here. I am a senior public servant and I will not resign from my job because of Canada PR. Yet, I value the PR because of my children. So they can be global citizens not because I have lost hope in Nigeria. Canada is good because people made it so. Nigeria will be great and I will be part of that history. Thanks again Prof for your kind words.

Thanks for your understanding… your compliments are well received Sir.

naijainstinct:
Yes oo....no work today
Goodluck to you too dear At least, I got a second mention.
And don't forget, please, never bring such post to this thread again. Cheers!

Apologies to everyone for derailing🙏🏼

There is always a learning from every incident and am sure there was one thing in common “Nigeria” and that binds us all. We all can air our views without too much grammer. Na grammer dey spoil everything, let’s only use it for IELTS and be our brother’s and sister’s keeper. We win!

Queenhadassah:
Hello, please can you tell us some 'in demand highly skilled careers' in Canada. Thanks

No one will mention that, but google

ednut1:
this youtube craze ehn. It is well

This is just stupidity to be honest and stupidity is worse when you are ignorant about it.

PreciousPearlpp:
Just landed Calgary, Canada... and one of the shocking things we experienced was getting free food and groceries. Hunger no fit catch you.
We just had to document the experience in a video. You can watch to know what to expect and share with others.

Who makes a video of visiting Food Bank? You guys are taking this shit too far and all wrong! Dammit. You made a video showing other peoples’ faces, you have invaded their privacy and you could be sued. Please have some sense, this just doesn’t make sense. With your settlement fund, you are not meant to go near a food bank.
