Any guidance on how to prepare my goods to follow.
Should I just type the list of things I am traveling with and those I am sending Via Cargo and take it along
Or there is a form to fill?

Just carry your documents and travel, the rest are just stress. You won’t need them.

Luchiee:
Come back?? You’re not expected to come back if you’re applying for PR!!

It’s for a study permit

Ultimaate:
Please someone should help me on this because the source of my funds was from the sale of landed properties

Wrong forum

Theflint1:
Hello house, can I use the WES course-by-course evaluation to apply for the express entry?

No

TwinHeart:
Submission and AOR was May 24. Can we just convert all nairas into the dorm account now? Like won’t the lump sum payments won’t look somehow.

You just explain how you arrived at the sum and the reason is because you want to protect your savings due to the volatility of the Naira

TwinHeart:
Just got an ADR saying “ Funds, proof: It appears you no longer meet the required funds due to the drop in value of the
Nigerian Naira. A family of 2 is currently required to demonstrate CAD$17,127 in available funds, unencumbered by debt or obligation. Please demonstrate proof you have this amount available to you.”

And I’ve been slacking in putting the funds together. Will it be advisable to convert all our ₦ and put in my dorm account at this point?

When did you submit and get AOR, and also savings in Dorm is always the best

braine:
Thats like 4 days ago bro, calm down. ..

BIL takes 2 to 3 weeks.

Hello house,

I took a computer delivered IELTS on 24th June, but haven’t got my result till now. I’ve sent several mails to British council. Called severally as well, all to no avail.

Please what do I do next?

Possible investigation ongoing

yinkzzboy:
Hello everyone
Pls i have ND&HND and just concluded my PGD can the three cert be evaluated by WES at a go?

You only need your ND and HND

chimzyblack:
Note: ECA has not been completed yet, will only be complete when I provide the BCS transcript.
I can still email Wes to remove it from my profile.

I just need an alternative to BCS.

If time clashed for you doing BCS I believe you will struggle for anything else. My advice for you is to resit the BCS. You are already familiar with it so the next time may be easier.

chimzyblack:
Guys, apart from BCS certificate, what other certificate can one use to complete the 2 or more certificate option.
Currently have a B.Eng degree.
Wrote the BCS exam in april, my result was not favourable due to classes clashing with my work hours and the course content of the exam being very broad.
Registering for that exam a second time will take approximately six months for the results to be out.

The painful part of it all is that I added it to my Wes ECA. My degree has already been evaluated waiting for the BCS transcript to be released, only for this to happen.

This is a classical case of putting a cart before a horse, not sure it makes sense. Patience is a virtue.

Quickest way to learn French.

lol

Enculer2:
You need a mentor for sure. Someone to guide you through. So if you have 24 hours, absolutely no excuse for you not to smash.

This is what I did in my early days learning French:

I attended a French church and I had a French Bible. Even though I did not understand all the sermon, the songs, the prayers, I continued loading my system.

I watched many French films and French series. "Le diner de cons" and "Paris Je t'aime" were my first. I also watched Kad Merad's movies.

Watch the news. Watch French news and news from Canada and Montreal in particular. Get used to French Canadian accents. Watch clips on the trains, the metro, airports, the cinema, French meteo. Get the transcripts from the news. I guarantee than if you do this, you will go very far.

I read many French kiddies books and graduated to leading adult books, novels, etc.

I joined forums on Facebook and read people's conversations, replies, etc. By just reading comments on the TEF Canada Facebook alone, you learn a lot. Ask for groups you can join.

I had French PenPals from a Polyglot site. One of the chics there ended up being my very good friend. Still friends till this day.

I had the advantage of being in the system so I was exposed to French everyday but if you are in naija, or in an anglophone country, no excuses. You got the Internet. You can connect with people. People need to learn English. Teach them English and they teach you French.

During the 3 months, see yourself as French, see yourself already speaking French and in Canada. Visualise your scores.

Above all, avoid the "branleurs". Too many branleurs exist especially in naija and they will steer you away from the path to success. Avoid many naija contents on FB. Waste of your precious time. They will steal your TEF Canada time. I had no "branleurs" to distract me.

All the best and hope we drink red wine to celebrate.

Bottomline, you too like woman

Enculer2:
There are definitely past questions available. I might still have some in my vault. The TEF Canada Facebook site is golden as it has past questions in all the sections.

If I was a naija person planning on getting high scores, I would concentrate my time and effort for 3 solid months on TEF Canada. No playing around no wasting time with jokers or with people who cannot help you. You would get a min of C1 if you are dedicated.

If someone said they do not have enough time, I ask for a breakdown of how they spend their weekdays and weekends. From theory response, I usually see why. They are not yet serious.

3months for a beginner’s point of view?

Mjhay:
Good morning everyone, I trust we are all doing well, I got an EOI from Ontario on my profile two weeks ago, while trying to submit the application, I was asked if I had sent my ECA to Ontario separately, I can’t remember doing that, I only submitted to IRCC because I never envisaged going the PNP route. Going forward what approach can I use and how can I go about it. It’s urgent because the 14days period before submission will elapse tomorrow. Regards

You need to forward a copy of your ECA to Ontario then choose yes for that option. If they don’t get a copy of your ECA, your application will be cancelled and refunded.

Debbieeeeeee:
If you’ve been taking computer then switch to paper, that was my situation too until I took paper.

I believe it is different for individuals, I found CBT easier and those I’ve recommended that to had similar experiences

It's PPR 3weeks 5days indeed delay is not denial..God is omnipotent
May we all testify

Congratulations Fanciegal

dlinglos:
Hello everyone,
So I'm trying to upload my documents on WES. It was uploaded successfully but my status is still showing "status on hold".
Please has anyone experienced this? What does mean?

Give it time

Afolavid:
Hmmnnnn, I get your point. It's not even about the cost, it's more about the unnecessary stress the online app for pcc has been giving lately. Thanks a lot for your input. I can start the process immediately right, not necessarily when the ITA comes through.?

If you are sure of ITA, why not

Afolavid:
Thanks for your input, I get your point.

However, the condition "was issued after you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row" is referring to a period of time in which you'll be required to provide a PCC for that country, so I think it's safe to say if the gap of the date they got their PCC to when they left is less than 6 months then they can still use it.

I.e. if the period when you got the PCC to when you left the country is less than 6 months, the PCC would meet this exemption. In my case, the period in which I got the PCC to when I left the country is about 3 months (less than 6 months).

I am usually critical of these kind of advisors, it is always better to err on the side of caution than to regret that a meagre 40k spilled the milk. In the grand scheme of things, I will submit even the one that was not asked than to be calculating like Nigeria at every World Cup group stage.

I know someone who thought she had met this PCC conditions like you stated, an Italian to be precise, her family application was rejected and she was only lucky to get another chance due to the low scores for CEC during Covid.

Since you are a prospective PR holder, I will say you should be careful of your “expertise” advice as this could mean grave consequences to many.

Err and err again on the side of caution, to be candid my Spouse doesn’t need a Police report for Canada but after consulting with my egbon Aestake here, She still provided the PCC for Canada.

Revman:
I have been on this journey since 2019.

Wrote my first IELTS and got LRSW 9987, CRS was 463 then COVID hit and everything went downhill from there. Watching time run out on my IELTS was one of the most painful things, I was so pained that I just ignored Canada.

Last month a friend encouraged me to write IELTS and enter the pool again. I did on the 24th and got LRSW 9888. I was so afraid but thank God I passed. CRS is now 445 due to age. The pain no be here.

Meanwhile I did a tech course in 2022 and pivoted because law is not a cross-border profession. I also dabbled into farming during COVID because man must chop.

As it stands now na only God fit run this Canada PR for me and I am writing this post just to put it out there that I will not write this traumatic IELTS again and my ECA will not expire in my hand without me and my family getting our PR.

Currently also learning french. I have suffered on top this matter.

Tired of feeling down about this so I just had to let it out. Pardon my rant abeg.

Oluwa please show up for your girl. Any which way na way.

I think this was written with 200% passion and I believe you have the right energy to go through. I believe French will finally open that door for you which will be greatly beneficial when you eventually land Canada. Don’t focus on the regrets but the opportunities, our stories will differ but let it all end in smiles.

2022Frustrated:
Thanks for the additional insight Prof. Please, if I may further enquire, if she is unable to meet up with the 2 out of 5 years to renew her PR status, will that in any way affect the PR of her spouse who would most likely satisfy this requirement, putting into consideration that she was the principal applicant? Thanks again

No it will not affect the status of the spouse as your profiles get separated the day each of you land.

Blessed4sure:
Please, I have the following question regarding the Skilled Worker's Program:

If a principal applicant gets admitted into Canada, can the dependent stay and work in Canada where the principal is in another country.

I'm asking for someone who is in Nigeria but his wife is studying in the USA until year 2026, and they intend to use the wife's profile for the application as she stands a better chance.

Can the lady go back to the USA while the man stays and looks for a job in Canada?

They are asking about the possibility to know if the process is worth the stress.

It is something many people do as mentioned by @zeewirld, doing a soft landing means you and your spouse will honor the PR approval, land in Canada, complete your documentation before she returns to Nigeria. However she needs to maintain the equivalent of two years out of five years minimum to be able to renew her PR status.

tshtsh:
Yep. There is also the emotional side to it hence I'm usually on the fence when I get approached by people. I received ITA in nov 2020 and had the equivalent of CAD18,000 to provision for fluctuation in exchange rate and cutoff was 478 as at then.
Today its a lot different (a lot more money and higher scores). One may come across as trying to discourage others when it indeed worked out for me. Hence I encourage everyone that asks me to try express entry/PNP. Before I came to Canada the impression I had was that transition from study to PR was easy and smooth. But after meeting some students here the story is different.

Something I’ll like to say is that regardless of the sum involved, you will continue to see growing numbers of people getting involved. The stratification might change but numbers will still go up.

There were many who thought they couldn’t afford it at one time but by starting, they eventually could make it. Talking about those unable to get PR after studies, I would say it is entirely their fault, it is not just to start studying, but what and where are the most cardinal questions.

I advised a 44 year old banker that wants to attain PR through study route to consider IT or health or Learn French, she said her head is full. How then do you want to make it? Also there were many people in Canada who during the pandemic when scores dropped to impossible level that still didn’t make it because they were simply not in the pool.

There are many people in Canada waiting for one route or the other that will grant them PR without writing IELTS. Just find out about many of those people, they are not doing something right.

crazyinlove:
Hi everyone, please anyone with link for those that wants to move to Canada as truck drivers

Not that I’ve heard but I can be so sure it will be hard to consider Nigerians for this kind of job

Snolw:
Greetings everyone, I need an advice on what to do.
I have a pending SINP application, as my application was forwarded to PIU in early in January 2023, now I’ve gotten ITA (Federal), I am confused as to how the SINP situation may affect my FSW application. What’d you advice I do?
Thanks

They are not related, ignore the SINP

Enculer2:
IELTS marking is subjective. Money making scheme.

Why do I think differently, compared to what you use it to gain I think it is money worth spending.

Limited28:
Can I use IELTS academic for this Canadian express route?

No!

I stay in Scotland, do I need police certificate from ACRO or Scotland?

ACRO

Savagethe21st:
Canada Fam, I am extremely sad. Despite preparing all night while working two jobs, I was given 6.5 in speaking. I might agree with the writing because I didn't complete on time, but I spoke really well just to see 6.5. Now my crs score is low.

I would be sad if I were you too but looking on the brighter side, you did good in other areas just incase you have to rewrite. If these scores are reflective of your speaking, then you have to put in some energy into your speaking. By your judgement, you spoke well but is this judgment in consonance with IELTS expectations?

braine:
Remark. Apply for EOR.

Is remark effective for speaking?
