Please someone should kindly explain the job experience part to me. i did a job before my NYSC in a lab for 5 months, without been paid just to build my capacity. i can get a reference letter for that. can i include it as an experience since i wasnt paid?

How many years experience post-NYSC do you have?

I’m asking because if it suffices for your application, then you can leave this 5month gig out in the work experience section and then include it in personal history as a volunteer job type thing. Just so that you don’t complicate your life.

I might not be correct sha, but that’s my perspective. You can search the threads to see if anyone has been in a similar situation.

Hello everyone.

Pls how can someone know and be following d draw cut off CRS scores? I went to Round of invitations but didn't get it there. For Oct 16, I saw sth like 357 which I don't understand. Thanks.

You were on the correct page - the draw on October 16th was for FST. So on draw days, just check the round of invitations on the page.

Sigh, still no draw sha. Was super expectant

Chinaza247:
I want to start my journey to Canada. I have been going though the thread. Please how can calculate my points?

Hello Chinaza, because you are new, you'd be pardoned - for next time please visit the Part 1, 2, 3 threads there will be lots of information there.

However here you go: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Thank you @Pwinkle1
So this is my situation.... I have a BSc in computer science and I have been working as a software consultant for over 14 years now in Nigeria. I did an MBA in Unilag some 5 years back and I intend to use my MBA for my application to earn more points.

The confusion here is that my MBA is not too related to my work experience (Software consultant) and if I evaluate only that then I will not be evaluating a degree I will like to work with and this might affect me getting a software job over there.

Would you advice I include my BSc Computer science degree in my WES evaluation since that is related to my work experience or I should just proceed with evaluation of only my MBA? What is the implication if I go with the later option?

Secondly, I learnt I will get more points if I add my spouse degree but I want to know if I will earn further points if I include my spouse work experience and get a reference letter to back that up?

Thank you.

Hello,

I’d try to answer to the best of my knowledge - if I’m not correct anywhere, someone should please correct me.

1. To make you feel more comfortable perhaps you should just evaluate both? Also - are you applying for PNP or EE? I think this would influence which one you should use.

2. Yes you’d get points from your husbands ECA, but no points from his work experience especially if he is not the PA - best to include his work experience in the personal history bit (so I learnt)

bamangar:
Hi everyone, someone advised me not to use Fixed deposit as my POF, rather I should used Treasury Bill. Is Fixed deposit not good?

Did the person give their reasons why?

I suggest you search the threads and other preceding parts, to get first hand info.

The general guideline is that whatever you are using is as liquid and close to cash as possible, so that it reduces any drama - obviously the financial institution must state this clearly in the reference letter.

Does that make sense?

Beauty85:
I wanted to ask you more questions about the hellofax, can I have ur email id

Oops, don't really want to share my email here. Maybe share yours and I'll respond!

But let me explain on hellofax, even though there might have been some instructions on previous threads.

1. visit www.hellofax.com
2. sign in (either using google or your email)
3. add file (upload the certificate or whatever you are sending)
4. enter WES fax no. and click send (the number should be on their correspondence with you)

Let me know if it's clear.

Eraytee:
YES of course, we need to celebrate this election victory na am expecting another next week too . Faith it!!!

But wait, based on trends is there likely to be a draw today? Because I went to check the trends from previous months/years and they didn't really do another FSW draw after and FST draw the next week. Maybe I didn't see well sha.

Also, post election they might just be chilling and will rather wait until next week for things to stabilize? lol

What do you think?

Palominopeaches:
It's PPR and COPR!

Yassss!!! Waiting for your script!!

iaatmguy:

SonsOfLiverpool:
since when did they no longer require WAEC?

Everyone has been talking about this for over a month now, you can search the thread!

oge966:
Pls how did you submit your certificate to WES for evaluation? Through DHL or post office and how long does it usually take?

Thank for your continuous support.

You mean your degree certificate and not your transcript right?

If yes, please use hellofax.com

Henryoto2019:
The mistake was from my Proof of Funds. How do I open a new account? Do I need to revoke this Gckey? I see you recently had similar issues. How did you open a new account? Thank you.

Okay, so mine was NOC related. I basically just used a different email address, didn't do anything with GCKey. However, that one also became ineligible lol. So I switched back to my original profile.

But wait, are you unable to start a new application within the same profile?

Henryoto2019:
Thanks you. I hope answering no the question “if I have applied to IRCC” won’t be taken as misrepresentation?

Have you gotten any AOR before?

Based on an answer I have I gotten here before, you should answer yes, only if you have gotten AOR..

Seniors, please correct if I'm wrong.

RBS2017:
Hello everyone, I'm new here ..i will I go about everything concerning express Canada entry someone should please put me through

Please refer to Page 1 of this thread, it should put you on a good pedestal to start (you can possibly also read other preceding threads)

Macy4real200:
Thanks dear. it's actually same info just that I want to change noc from present job to past job as that one is likely to get me PNP nomination.

Okay, cool !

Erigo23:
Here too with 469.. what’s your score?

Sitting pretty at 467, really hopeful this time around..

Henryoto2019:
Good morning. Please my express entry profile become ineligible this morning when I tried updating it. I quickly created another profile but when I logged in I noticed they are both linked to the same account. Please what did I do wrong?
My worries:
1. I have two profiles under one account, one is eligible and the other ineligible. Is it supposed to be so?
2. While filling the new profile I answered no to the question if I have applied to IRCC before and I didn’t fill my previous profile number and UCI.
3. I noticed the new profile has a different profile number and UCI

Please hope I haven’t done anything wrong?

Please seniors I need clarification. Thanks

Was it your NOC you tried updating? if yes, you will have to update your primary NOC in addition to the different jobs.

Have you tried opening a new account with a different email address?

We are patiently waiting for draw day(s) oh! May the odds be in our favor

Any hopefuls?

mikel88:
Hello good people, please for those that have done biometric, I did mine yesterday and my tracking number is *****CALATRV****and under the visa category it says “individual TRV”. Is this normal as I am expecting to see *****CALAPRV**** since the biometric is for PR abi am I missing something ? . Someone should please enlighten me oo I traveled from Canada to Naija solely because of this biometric and I wouldn’t want any issues...

I think you should ask on the below thread, since most of the people there have gone before us lol.

Erigo23:
PLEASE HOW DOES ONE WHO IS CURRENTLY OUT OF NIGERIA GET NIGERIA PCC?

Do you have anyone in Lagos that can go to Alagbon for you? (I'm sure this can be done in other locations but I only know of how its done in Lagos.)

If yes, just fill the form on Page 1. Watch the video on how to do your finger prints, scan the completed form and send it to the person.

Then give the person a copy of your passport bio data page and one passport picture + money lol.

And they should be able to sort it out.

@ladymarshall

Thank you all for your replies. I really appreciate you.
But just to be clear and double check, I meant Ordinary National Diploma (OND from yabatech) and BSc(Unilag)

Thanks alot. I want to be sure before I pay to WES.

It will most likely be two or more certificates - but the price you pay to WES doesn’t depend on the no. Of certificates, I think. So go ahead and pay.

Seniors, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Trizadove:
Hello @Pwinkle1
I sent you a dm, I would like to know how you resolved your diploma transcript with OSU
Have you gotten it?
I'm in the same shoes as you are and I need help in getting my transcript.
Please respond as soon as you can
Thank you

Hello, I probably missed the dm, apologies.

I was actually asking for a friend, but nope the issue has not been resolved yet, as I didn’t get any response here. She is still working with the timeline she was given at the school.

2019elections:
Pls, what is the cost estimate on Canada express entry (ielts, medical and all)

See image below - also refer to part one for more information/people’s personal stories.

Also, the cost of medicals have gone up now.

Canada2020PR:
@ladymarshall @pwinkle1
Pls I have an ND and BSc. Does this make it 2 or more certificates for me ?

I think it’s best to upload both on whichever evaluation body you are using so you see what it comes back as.

oge966:
Thank you ChiefDaddy1.

Do I need to do a separate WES evaluation for my spouse first degree as well?

Yes, your spouse will need to do a separate evaluation.
