Thanks for your response.

We live in Europe, would it be a problem if we have our POF in our naira account?

DeejahAJ:
Hi everyone, would need your advice here. This has been bothering my mind for a while now.

We (family of 3) have been on this Canada waka since 2021 and entered the pool last year April with a score of 477. Looking at the recent CRS score trends, it will take some time for the score to get to that point. So I am working on writing my ielts again in order to get max score which would take us to 483, also note that I am the primary applicant. We honestly, we want to leave soon and we do not want to waste anymore time since EE is mostly unpredictable these days.

So we recently thought of going via the study route, my husband applies for a graduate certificate in a college against Jan 2024 and we accompany him. While I still retain my EE profile with the hope of getting a better ielts score.

Questions are:
1. If we start processing this study visa, and also the line we get ITA, can we still proceed with the EE ?
2. Would it be possible for my husband to continue studying while I am working on getting us the PR via EE at the same time as we are in Canada?

I am asking these questions to know if we go on with study visa, would it affect our Express entry path to PR?

If you have any idea or suggestions, kindly feel free to shoot.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi everyone, please I’d like to know the best way to get PCC (Police Character Certificate) from Alagbon these days. It was 5k the last time I had to do it. Haha! I will really appreciate cost, contact person if necessary, and any other tips to get it smoothly. Thank you.

Why in the world will any one who's got an EU citizenship want to come to Canada? Canada is overrated! i have lived there for almost 2 decades ( Calgary and Winnipeg ) and i keep telling folks if you got another option like the UK and Australia or NZ go for it! unless you don't have an option you can consider Canada.

Canadians cant even afford vacations without working 2 jobs or a side hustle, all they do is work work work! the pay sucks and the US dollar kicks the Canadian dollars in the ass.
[b]I am sorry Sir, I totally disagree with this statement. Well maybe this is true amongst your clique or circle but within my circle this is not the case.[/b]
Canada is the land where subtle racism was invented, you need to write one certification or get one license or the other for you to get into a real professional gig as your experiences outside the country means nothing to them!

I also disagree with this statement. In my field (finance/accounting/auditing), ur experience outside Canada is not discounted and u don’t need to write any professional exams before u get professional jobs in that industry.

Toronto and Vancouver are the most expensive cities but lots of opportunities ( a more milder climate of maybe -20 in the deep winter) there, just like Newyork and California but be ready to rent someones basement. Even Canadians are looking for greener pastures in the Us. My friend Honestly the lawn is not always as green as it looks on the otherside. If you consider other provinces be prepared for the cold and owning 2 cars insurance is thru the roof, telecoms bills are crazily expensive. the wether makes everyone depressed. Think Again!

Faulty O2 sensor causing the lean mixture.

This is just generic, ask from people who've got kids and how much they make in a year determines your kids benefit. If you and your wife both each make 100k and above bye bye to kids benefit. fyi I have kids!

Gerrard59:


I no understand, work no dey UK? What kind of courses did they study and which universities?

JayGordon:


Masters in Electrical and experience in nuclear power generation

JayGordon:


This is a very interesting plan. Well thought out. However, like you, it will be very difficult to leave my family alone in a new country.

JayGordon:


So you feel people are considering moving to Canada from the UK?

JayGordon:


Thanks for the headsup. So the only issue with Canada I feel is they do not appears to valorise European engineering experience. Almost feel like people have to take junior roles and have to go through the process of Foreign Credential Recognition and all.

Stepping up job search though and the ideal situation will be to get a job before landing Canada. For now, I am making the most of the pre-arrival settlement services, networking and stepping up my résumé.

JayGordon:


Thanks for the detailed followup. Yes, male. Wife has short experience (1 year) in healthcare in the UK and is looking to study nursing or a related course in health care. Kids are 10 and below.

ednut1:
many people who went on study are struggling to get that tier 2 job, option for may is to do care work for 5 years. many Nigerians will rather japa than do that

JayGordon:
Hi Everyone,

Your input, especially from those with first hand experience would be appreciated.

We got Canadian PR last year and are aiming to relocate to Canada this summer (family of 5).

However, got a job offer (65k GBP) per year plus sponsorship for just myself. I will have to sort of Visa fees for my family as company will not do this. So I am just thinking how much I will have to budget just for the move.

The sponsorship will be for 3 years so I need to budget for NHS surcharge (3× 600 X 4) and visa fees 600 x 4 I think. Also, I think I have to réserve a minimum balance in my account?

I visited UK last December and the cost of living is high.

Option 2 is to continue with out Canadian plan as we have PR. The thing is no job lined up. I have stepped up search though.

ILR will take 5 years while we already have PR.

Anyone with experience with having to choose from the two countries?

Regards.

A friend l adviced to buy a car with his cash de way l bought mine and moved on refused and he de hear am now, na why l de laugh....nostalgia....

OluwatoyinTee:
Hello everyone. Thank you for the great works.
I am 26yrs old and I also have a masters degree. I have evaluated my credential and also written IELTS (awaiting results). Hope to hop into the pool as soon as results are released.
However, my area of concern is, I am a single mum of an 8 months old baby I want to take with me.
Will adding her affect my application in anyway? I heard that someone's application was once refused because she couldn't convince IRCC that she could work and also take care of her child. What do you suggest I do? I really can't trust anyone with my baby.

Treadway:
no blame me my guy. It would be foolhardy to believe every rubbish you read on social media. Cheers to more successes and wins bro.

Ps: CNBC suppose interview you oo if you have proof of the 120k (not even total earnings o, but house down payments only) in just 16mths in Canny.

Actually went to the same Uni with the owner and she is a friend. Feedback like this are really important for business continuity.

AlvinAlex:


1. I’ll be 28 later this year.
2. BSC.
3. April, but I’m already taking tutorials to rewrite this February, current score is a band 8.
4. Yes I do.
5. Not really, I heard otherwise.

AlvinAlex:
I need candid advice.
With the current state of EE draws, Is it advisable for someone in the pool to go the study route…or to just exercise patience till whenever?

CRS is 468

What about Pedri and Robert?

jpmoriarti:
Meanwhile, no one noticed Busquets dropping an excellent game, alongside Pedri in the midfield.

Very impressed with him. It is obvious he plays better when played in midfield of 4 now. His passing range under pressure, remains some of the best out there.

MOTM for me today, he's shown once again that in the right system he's a master of space, precision, timing, and positioning...
