Thats a great Pointer to the fact that they are trying all possible means to keep the CRS point up by inviting less people. Imagine just two draws and scores dropped by 15points despite inviting so few applicants.

Just imagine 5000 ITA on July 6 and another 5k ITA today. The CRS would have dropped to 480s now.

Hi Mates,

A quick question pls.,

Which rate does Canada use to calculate the POF for applicants from Nigeria? Is it an official or black market rate?OFFICIAL RATE

Secondly, a friend has his POF in foreign currency, do you advise him to retain it in that currency or he shld exchange it to naira?

Thanks for your inputs.

Maybe not for 6 months but at least for 3 draws or so.

Hope for the 460's is gradually but steadily fading away as well. This is an unpleasant reality
even hope of 470s is still far away for now. It is well

Hello gurus,

Thank you for all the information you've made available here.

Please I am a crossroad. I have an offer from a UK school but with the recent update about FSW, I'm also considering Canada. My score on CRS is 476 and I believe that I'm well positioned for this.

Can I still move to the UK and continue the Canadian application from there or will it be impossible?
Question: How much will I spend to become a permanent resident in Canada through the Express entry route?

Answer: As of now, you will spend at least $2,090 CAD + POF (13,000cad which belongs to you after you land) (as a single applicant). total is 15,000CAD

You may spend more depending on your case. so weigh your options very well. if you go to you UK, you will spend at least 12,000pounds(thats 20,000CAD) on school fee alone without the processing fee, insurance fee, flight, living expenses etc. with 476, i am still certain that you will get ITA by december if the IRCC conduct a back to back draw from JULY to DECEMBER. best of luck

You have said it all


The Express Entry reforms found in Bill C-19 won’t become law until it is given royal assent by the governor general of Canada.
It has been given royal Assent. so the Bill has come to stay.

To all that think the Bill C-19 might not be passed soon, this is the timeline. Already passed the third reading at the senate.

www .parl.ca/LegisInfo/en/bill/44-1/c-19
Stop giving yourself unnecessary headache

Except IRCC decide to give us a shocker, the implementation cannot come in July

Based on the immigration clause in the bill, category must be rolled out and discussed with the stakeholders first before its implementation. Stakeholders have not discussed (except we are not in the know if the meeting and discussion with the stakeholders have been done).
After the necessary stakeholders have discussed and have accepted the categories to be used for the whole year, then the immigration must announce the category at the beginning of the year.

I don't think all these have been done yet.

So no hullabaloo yet, The bill is not only immigration bill, It is a complete Government Financial Bill, With a bit of immigration snipet, Hence the need for its FastTrack. The speedy nature of its passage has nothing to do with the proposed changes in the express entry draw but because of the urgency to implement some things in the Financial appropriation of the government in the fiscal year 2022.

Meanwhile, the new bill according to the immigration Minister Sean Fraser is to complement the existing system not to do away with the entire system completely. Sean Fraser said the high scoring candidate in the pool would still get invitation.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to book a flight to Toronto. On wakanow I saw good prices on Egypt air, however, wakañow says I can't book a one way ticket on Egypt air. . The reason given is that the airline requires a return ticket.

Has anyone experienced this? I know Egypt air appears to be one of the favourable airlines for our people here.

Please any advise/ input will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
message me on @oginnite on Twitter or IG. I can help out

For this that their FSW AOR is 2019 & 2020. For the issue of POF, how were you able to do it. Considering the fact that you waited for almost 2years or more than that after getting an ITA. Did you leave the POF untouched or how did you do it? Just curious

Update on the DOB Error on the Degree certificate.

So, I was at the PG school and the PG school officials said they can issue a letter claiming the Degree certificate is in process and not ready.

Is this okay guys?

Thanks everyone for the advice on the CERTIFICATE & DOB error
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by saskatoonguy: 11:20am On Jul 18, 2021
GraciousWords:
Start the formal process of asking for the correction of DOB on the certificate from UI - write them a letter.

If ITA comes before it is resolved, then provide IRCC with:

1.LOE explaining exactly what you have told us and info from UI that they are unable to correct it soon because certificates are printed offshore.

2.Letter from UI admitting the error on DOB.

3.Your letter to UI asking for the correction on DOB.

Was there a DOB on the statement of result? If yes and if correct, include this as evidence that the DOB error on certificate is from UI.
There was no DOB on statement of result. The date on the transcript that UI sent to WES Canada during the ECA process was correct, that was evident on my ECA report as it bears the correct DOB. So i guess the problem was during the printing of the Certificate.

Good Day Seniors in the house, I need your advice....

My wife and I finished Masters from UI and we evaluated the Masters degree with WES which we later used in the Express Pool.

As at the time that we sent the transcript for WES evaluation, the Certificate was not ready, so we only uploaded the Notification of result on our WES portal.

Fastforward to some months later, the Certificate was released and we found out that there was mistake on the date of birth on the Certificate. They misplaced Day as Month & Month as Date.

Our Score in the Pool is in the 480s and we are hoping to receive ITA once the FSW draw resumes whereas University of Ibadan cannot effect the changes on time as they said they only print Certificate from abroad. The real date of birth is May 1, 1989 which can rewritten as 01/05/1989 or 05/01/1989(US style). But they wrote January 5, 1989 whereas my month of birth is May. Same Mistake was done for almost all my mate

Hope you saw where the mistake is?


Please what can we do incase we receive ITA soonest and we are to submit our application because the error is corrected?

Not much if a problem. UI is correct, it's your perception of the date that needs to change grin

That's the US style!
i know what US style of date is. But here is the Mistake.
