Hello,

I had created a profile for the FSW with a point at 396 or so. Then I decided to update my education, then the system said "I am no longer eligible to be in the pool.

I tried creating another profile again but it says samething, however, the CRS says my point was at 444 and I am eligible for EE.

Can someone help out please.

Thanks

Sure thanks a lot.
Thanks I'm in Canada already.

Hi, as at now, CELPIP General Test for PR status to Canada is only available in Canada, Philippines, UAE and USA. Unless you're based in any of those locations, it's not a feasible option. If I may suggest, the earlier you get a date for IELTS and begin to study for it, the better for you. Hope this helps, https://www.celpip.ca/test-locations-fees/

Good day everyone. It's been a while though.
Greetings to everyone @vcole, @salford @salford1, @ovie @blackbuddy @maternal
Okay I got a question to ask as this is the final step before I apply for my PR.
I wanted to take the IELTS but the last sit closer to my centre got filled up quickly. Now I am considering taking CELPIP.

What is your advise on taking the CELPIP instead of IELTS?

Please I need advise from experienced individuals

Senior if you understand where I am coming from and have worn my shoes you won't only be preaching but will be shouting out on rooftops.

See me wey them reject for Nigeria, roaming about without job for the past 20months, only to enter Canada and made management in the biggest brewing company in the world in less than 3months, and you say it's not God.

Forget that Alberta effect thing for once and see the peculiarity of my case. Am I the only immigrant that landed Alberta in the past 6months? I'm I the only one who attended job seminars? What are the odds of something like this happening? Heck, even the people where I work keep telling me they haven't witnessed such a thing. That I just broke a record! Who I sabi for Canada. I've never even been to Cotonou before I took the leap of faith to come here.

I'm not saying that I'm special in any way to others but when I attribute my success to God I know what I'm saying. If I don't speak the truth and take God's glory for myself then I'm not worthy of any of his favours. That's why I'm encouraging others to believe.

Work as though it all depends on your work, and pray as though it all depends on God. We will all have and share our testimonies

Wow. God is good.
Congratulations...

I'm back people with yet another of my recent experience with career advancement in Canada. So you guys remember me telling you all how I got two jobs and was spoilt for choice over which to pick. Well to refresh those that may have forgotten I chose the big firm (even though the position was temporary and entry level hourly operator while the other was permanent ,full time but for a smaller firm) because I believed it had better prospects for career growth.

Well I took my humble pie and resumed for the hourly operator job on 2nd January and we were all placed on a 3day orientation and training program. It went on like that up until Thurs when something dramatic happened. After we have been dispersed to head to our various departments, as I was waiting in the lobby with my other colleagues for our department rep, I was approached by the operations manager who asked if I could spare him 5mins of my time. I obliged and he took me to a meeting room and we were immediately joined by another manager. I sensed I was going to be interviewed again, so I quickly psyched myself. The operations manager started by telling me he needed a new group manager in his department as one of his guys just got promoted and moved to another location and he feels I can fill that position. The next 30-45mins was a grilling but yet refreshing interview where I was mainly asked competency based questions that required I relate my answers very well to my past experiences (which all came from Nigeria).

Afterwards I left the interview feeling like what just happened and went back to join the rest of my hourly operator crew only for the heads upstairs to send for me again after like 30mins. When I came up this time, the operations manager was there to receive me and then he told me there is someone he will like me to meet. This time it was the overall Plant manager who is the top boss in the Edmonton plant. I almost froze to the floor but then as omo naija my head quickly correct . After a firm handshake with the Plant manager I was taken to a larger conference room just me and him. Then he started interviewing me again. As usual I kept relating my answers to past work experiences from Nigeria. In the end he thanked me and encouraged me to keep developing myself especially in the new job I was being offered as they strictly apply meritocracy in career advancement in d organization.

I closed from work that still perplexed at how fast my fortunes are about to change. I got home and was still narrating the whole ordeal to my wife when I got a call from the operations manager that I have got the job and if I'm willing to accept the offer. I answered in the affirmative. Then he asked me to come into the plant the next day(we were billed to attend a safety training off-site as the hourly operators) as I need to sign a new offer letter and start immediately on the new management position I was offered.


So people that was how I started the year/week as a floor staff but ended the week as a first-line manager. The purpose of my sharing this story is not to in any way pride in my efforts because I owe everything I am to God but to encourage someone/anyone who can dare to believe in the impossible. Yes miracles still do happen. It's not by he that runneth but on the Lord that showeth mercy. Be courageous my fellow naija Canadians. Go out there and claim what's yours!

Peace.

Please check your mail too. I have been tryna contact you.

Blackbuddy:


Hi, I tried to reply you twice but your email kept bouncing my response back. Maybe you should reset your email address on your Nairaland profile then resend your email to me. I'll be expecting it, cheers.

Ballerz is back . Sorry I haven't contacted you. I don't have a phone yet. Happy New year

Ballerz:


I was not going to respond but I will not let anyone spoil my reputation.

First of all, I think either yourself or Seun Osewa is very unserious. Great Ife people apply better cognitive reasoning to situations. I am shocked!!
So let me clarify, and this is what happens when people fail to apply common sense to the most basic things. Did you expect I ask people to send their Driving Letter and copy of license to a public forum, then I help them to forward to FRSC from there?

I cannot count how many people sent me their letters and copy of license and I helped in the little way I can, to ensure my ex-colleague gets the letter out in good time. Or did anyone complain I collected a fee, rather I used my own resources to appreciate the FRSC team.
I am not the kind of person that sits behind faceless handle and convulse shit. The people I have interacted with here, know me, my real name and where I work. So Mr. Justwise, you need to get your acts together. Thus, the ban is very good. And it is because of this kind of ill-thoughts actions NL is still at the stage where it is, the forum has failed to develop like the country called Nigeria.

PS, Osewa was not paying me, rather on the flip side, the users here spend their time and data to contribute to forum. People visit here to assist others, because Together Everyone Achieves More. It is a T.E.A.M. effort. This is what other countries have mastered. See how Brampton has bn taken over by Indians. Markam and North York by the Chinese. I am yet to see where Nigerians and Africans are taking over.

Please apply for Next Ban.

You can as well browse through schools in canada and their respective tuitions. Note that the MEng program is a little expensive than the MASc

arizona20:
Please house i wish to enrol for my M.Eng programme in Canada.please I need somebody to assist me on how to apply for any good school in Canada.am a (b.eng) holder in civil engineering and wish to continue with it in my m.eng programme.please somebody should help me on the school to apply and the estimated tution fee and other expenses. thank you all.

I just sent you a text. Kindly reply telling me it's DatechMan

DatechMan:
I am beginning to enjoy this thread.
All the information being passed on here are really invaluable.
I am also considering the Fall '18 admission . My understanding is that MSc. being thesis based and usually funded is more competitive. M.Eng. which is course-based is usually self-funded. I have also found that the M.Eng programme is usually slightly more expensive than the MSc. programme.
I have never really given M.Eng a real thought before now, since I was applying as an international student. Now that I am a Canadian PR, I am seeming to favor it. Seniors in the house, please I need your input.
I have a 4.02/5.0 from a Federal Uni. I want to weigh my chances before applying. This one that I hear that UBC is bouncing 1st class guys.
I was in the telecom industry in Naija for about 4 years. I am looking to go for M Eng. or MSc. in Renewable Energy or related field. I am especially interested in a school with good coop/ internship opportunity.

Let's rub mind together abeg. This Canadian hustle shall end in praise.

which one is ITA please? I just want to apply. How much points is the threshold to acceptance? And I heard it will require IELTS, so I'll need to write the exams though

einsteino:


sure. you could apply with your B.Eng if you receive an ITA. though completing your canadian M.Eng would give you far more points than your nigerian B.eng.

vcole blackbuddy salford1 salford

Does anyone know if it's possible to apply for PR while still studying for a Master degree in Canada even when one has over 4 years Nigerian working experience in Civil Engineering?

Thanks alot Blackbuddy..

Hi Rocorleone,

How long does it take to get the international driver's licence in Nigeria. I renewed my Nigerian driver's licence since June and up till now its not ready, so I'm thinking of getting the intl licence if it is processed faster.

2wks

I presume you are asking concerning the FRSC letter. However, I don't know anything about the cost. But all I can tell is it took 4 days to get delivered from ABJ via DHL.
Regards

Lalaska:

How much did you pay? How long did it take you? Do you get it in Lagos or Abuja

soja84:


Hi....Please can you assist with the process of getting the FRSC letter?Please let me know if your contact can help.How much did you get the international driver's licence? Thanks.

Got the int'l driver's licence before travelling though. Cost 12k. And for the FRSC Letter, I got mom handle it. She got it on my behalf and sent it via DHL. I hope this answers your questions

Got it mailed to me via DHL.

rockiedink:
Hi!

How did you get the Letter of Experience? The same email route?

Pray tell

@Feygbe, @vcole, @blackbuddy and other knowledgeable folks. I've just got my letter of experience from FRSC, an international driver's licence and my expired nat'l driver's licence. What is the next step to apply for the Canadian driver's licence?
I'm in BC though

Attaching the stated documents is fine.
But be sure your previous work experience coincides with your prospective study. This also is well important and if it does go for a Master program instead of PGD.
I hope this helps.

dannydenzy:
THank you. I want to pay my complete tuition fee and reapply Then family ties i want to attached my sibings and parents birth certifcates, family pictures and family landed property .i will tackle purpose of visit in my sop. i sont know if it will fly

SlowlybtSurely:


No procedure, really. Just walk into any NIPOST office and tell them you want to send a package to Canada. It's pretty straightforward.

Thanks.. Do you know how long it takes to get to Canada?
Because I'm thinking of how the drive test will be now it is snowing even after I've given them proof of driving records

Then you should get a reason for the refusal. Tackle it! I think they are in a way trying to be strict.
But there's nothing Complete documents and prayer can't do!
Goodluck

dannydenzy:
I was refused the same reason even with my funding letter from my supervisor attahced

mcobex:
Welcome back bro, how's studies going so far?

Omo it is not a small something. Issa matter of plenty work at hand.
But I thank God, I win already. Studies is good. Hectic to some point I lost count of days and dates.
It is well.
How far your side?

A letter of reference
Just a letter admitting that him/her is your supervisor and is kin to see that you arrive as soon as possible to kick off your research and studies.blablabla
They take official letters like this serious though

WEIRDPC:



what kind of document from the prospective supervisor? Kindly explain

Good to be back.
After all the stress.
Good luck to the list of hopefuls.
Anyone coming to Canada now should brace up for Cold. It started snowing already.
I was shocked too.
Again make sure you have added more documents especially if you can get one from your prospective supervisor. This could help to facility.

SlowlybtSurely:


I sent to Toronto for #400. BC shouldn't be more than #600.

Please could you tell me how you sent the letter from Nigeria to Canada. Please I need the procedures.
Thanks

Are you in Abj?

Ayoboy1:
Good Morning House, I am a silent observer of this thread. I am due to Land in Toronto in December like a couple of guys here. Special S/O to ballerz, Salford, Mrs O and TheCongo y’all have been overwhelmingly helpful and I can’t state that enough.
Please I have a couple of questions!!!
My Naija License expired and I just renewed it but I only have the temporary one and I doubt if the permanent one will be ready before I leave. Will I be able to use the temporary one to start processing my DL over there.

koonlay5:
A friend actually uses NIPOST services in Abuja to send to Canada. You can confirm from the office at Area 10.

How much would it cost to send a letter from Nigeria to BC?

czaratwork:
Just be bold and proud to tell them you are a Nigerian. There is always someone waiting to eat your jollof rice(like my host) or your moi-moi(like the white lady on the drivers licence enquiry desk at Brampton) Someone i met (a ghanian) wanted to talk down Nigeria in front of my nice host by narrating a crime committed by a Nigerian and guess my response to him? Anyone could have done that. It is not about your country it is about your person. Me wey dey ask almost any black person i see here if dem be naija? Na so i go ask one elderly black man inside bus who come tell me say im be Trinidad and Tobago but im fit be Nigerian descent wey oyibos carry im ancestors for slavery. Proudly Nigerian.

Hey how did you go about the driver's license?
I sure need mine. But I'm just with my international driver's license plus my national license which just expired on August this year.
Thanks

Please share I need it.
very important this instant. Thanks

Blackbuddy:


Hi, I've made a little enquiry and found that since Abuja is the Head quarters, that's where it is issued from. It's free of charge and they used to send the hard copy by DHL to people free as well but I guess the cost put paid to that. There are claims that people are getting it for as high as N20,000.00 in Lagos but I've not been able to confirm where and how true. For now, I think it's best you make enquiry at the Zonal Command close to you or get your family/friends in Abuja to pick it up and send to you. If I get more details, I'll surely share it.
