189 may be far fetched if you don’t are a high score. 491 may be available too.
Yes, you can add your partner if you are married. They can also add English test to your point.
Only Queensland require POf and the process can take between 9 months to 3 years depending on how lucky you are.
Hello, I'm assessing with CAANZ, is the assessment type combined qualification and skilled assessment only?

Thanks.

Okay, let's assume you are a genius or you are at the upper end when it comes to "knowing how to learn", the main issue is you and NOT a "magic teacher"... let me assume everything you wrote is true, less than 5% of the population is on that level, so it is unrealistic for "regular people" with a full-time job living in Nigeria to advance super fast.

I said something like this in 2022, guys please if you are thinking of learning French or you have just started learning French "Be very WARY of unrealistic stories!" - They are almost always just marketing gimmicks pushed by "magic teachers". The stories are always DISTORTED to promote the businesses of the "magic teachers".

you've been on and about discouraging people on this thing while you're also marketing yourself. Everyone's assimilation pace is different, you can't just conclude that some things are not possible within a specific period of time - that's your own notion.

There are no specific time frames to learning these things whoever has unrealistic expectations should also handle the results whether good or bad.

YOu will need to provide more details for both first and second degrees for yourself and spouse like your course, year of graduation, the university, course duration (4 or 5 years) and the period of experience (for example,GIS 2011-2017 and tax accountant 2017 till date). Something like that.

For tax accountant, you need to have a degree in accounting or ACCA or ICAN to get a positive assessment. It's a no without an accounting qualification.

Also, all marketing roles are level 1 occupation which requires a bachelor's degree which your spouse does not have so technically, she's not eligible due to her qualification
Hello, please review my profile.

Age - 29
Degree - Accounting unilag and ACCA chartered
Experience as an accountant for 6yrs
Thinking of applying under 189
Hoping to meet the Ielts requirements soon
Also can I apply with my partner (planning to get married soon)

Is there any POF required and how long might the process take?

I hope they're not cooking the books by artificially inflating their profits because I know that 2023 was generally a very bad year for most business organisation in Nigeria because of the recent devaluation of the Naira and this should also affect UBA because I'm very sure the also have some exposure to loans in foreign currency undecided
2023 was the best year for banks.

Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by shizzy7(f): 8:33pm On Jan 06
Heineken007:
I'm here to share my testimony. I started this journey when this new thread was formed. I remember joining in 2021, around page 31 or thereabout. I followed keenly, was always here day and night. One time i lost hope because ielts was another wahala. Then i stopped coming here and forgot my password, had to create a new account.

The Journey wasn't easy at all but I'm glad i didnt give up. I received my stamped passport today, exactly 3 years later. I remember Jan 4th 2021 when i started this waka, God is great oooo.

Determination can make you achieve anything.

Thank you @graciousWords, ednut 1, debbieee and others(please forgive me for not remembering your names) for your help. GraciousWords answered all my questions with patience, I'm grateful.
Congratulations, I am new to this can I create an express entry profile before writing IeLTS? Planning on writing next months and update my profile with the scores.

PPR and LANDING GIST

Timeline
AOR: 4th August 2023
BIL/MEP: 25th August 2023
Biometrics done/updated: 29th August 2023
ADR1 – Wife's passport
ADR2 – Schedule A for wife
ADR3 – Schedule A for me
PPR: 12th October 2023

The Decision to Travel:

I first heard about Express Entry in 2015 but didn't pay close attention to it at the time. Many of my close friends eventually moved through this program. However by end of September 2020, when EndSars protest was beginning to gain momentum, we knew we had to leave the country.

- 1st October 2020: Applied for WES ECA for my MSc.
- 28th October 2020: Received ECA results.
- 31st October 2020: Took my first IELTS (LRWS/8,8.5,6.5,7). I applied for a remark on my Writing, and it was adjusted to 8,8.5,7,7, with an overall score of 7.5.
- January 2021: Wife (@Phabulous93) took her first IELTS (LRWS/9,8.5,8,7.5), scoring 8.5. wife’s ECA was by CES, and her LLB was evaluated as a Professional degree. This took about 6 months.
- My wife's CRS score was 484, and mine was 455, so she stood a better chance.
- October 2022: I wrote my second IELTS with an overall score of 8.0.
- December 2022: My wife took her second IELTS, scoring an overall 8.5.

HEARTBREAK

- We remained at a CRS score of 484 for almost 2 years, and on my wife’s birthday in March 2023, IRCC decided to draw 484. Unfortunately, she lost 5 points on her birthday and she wasn't selected.
- My wife was heartbroken, but as I consoled her, our son walked in and started singing Nathaniel Bassey's song, "You are God from beginning to the end, There's no place for argument, You are God all by yourself...".

TEF in 4 months!

- In January 2023, my wife started practicing with Doulingo, just in case we needed French
- After loosing 5 points and missing out on the ITA in March 2023, she made the courageous decision to learn French formally and dedicated herself to studying day and night. At a point, she had like 2 French tutors.
- Mind you, she was still working full time. We practiced speaking French together, and I even downloaded various French translators so I could practice speacking with her.
- I gingered her to write the TEF exam in June (3 months after she lost 5 points), but she was like, the average time to learn French and pass the TEF is between 9 – 12 months.
- And I was like, I know. Just see the TEF in June as a mock exam so you get familiar with how the exam is…
- So we registered for it and she wrote the French exam on 15th June 2023, and the results came out on 20th June 2023, less than 1 week later, and we received an extra 10 points.
- Sharperly, I updated our profile, and the score jumped from 479 to 489.
- One week later, we received an ITA (cutoff was 486).

Ah! Baba God o! Thank you.

eAPR
- In putting together our application, we ensured that it was thorough and included a letter of explanation for pretty much everything.
- Our Proof of Funds (POF) was 100% ready since October 2023. However, due to the Naira devaluation in June 2023 (all thanks to Tinubu and the CBN), we had to get a Gift deed to complete our POF.
- We also included 25% of my Pension as a buffer in case the Naira depreciated further.

Additional Document Requests:

- ADR 2 & ADR 3 (Schedule A IMM 5669): I'm not sure why they requested these, but I suppose it's because my wife worked with a Local Government during her NYSC, and the word "Government" might trigger additional scrutiny.
- My wife and I are both Directors and Shareholders of several small companies. We had to provide a separate letter of explanation, clarifying that these companies were part-time and did not interfere with our full-time jobs.

LANDING

- Booked Egyptair and landed Toronto 7am last week. Before 9:00am, the I heard those beautiful words, "Congratulations! And welcome to Canada!"
- We were heading to Calgary, and had a 9 hour layover in Toronto. So we used the time to sort out our SIN, Sim cards (Fido offered us a $35, 50GB plan) and our bank account (CIBC).

Finally guys, if you can, please learn French o! It's not easy but if you can, abeg write it. If we didn't write French, we will still be at 479, hoping and praying that the cut off points drop. But here we are, living in the beautiful city of Calgary as Permanent Residents.

Ah! Baba God! Na you do this one o! Thank you Jesus!
Merci beaucoup wifey @Phabulous93, Que Dieu vous bénisse. Amen

Thanks also to @GraciousWords, ednut1, Ebuncrown, MissMa01, Debbieeeeeee for your insights.
Congratulations, I am just starting this process, I pray for favor. Can you please advise on the French tutor your wife used? And guidance on how to go about this, I am quite but lost but will follow and ask questions on this thread.

Programming / Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by shizzy7(f): 3:39pm On Jan 04
olabanjg:



You will have to be very determined to start your coding journey with java as it is one of few complex languages not recommended for beginners. Why not think of learning python first? And once you get familiar a bit with it then move on to java.

With more than 20 years experience in programming I can confidently say most beginners gets pissed off few weeks after the get started due to their inability to comprehend what they are doing.

It is fun when you write codes and you see them in action in minutes. Setting up a java development environment alone may take you days if not weeks why python is just a matter of installing an msi and fire on. However java is a very wonderful language to learn.
Best of luck!
Hello, I have a background in finance but recently took keen interest in programming, I have learnt python and SQL, I want to learn backend development please advise on how to go about it, I keep feeling like I’ll need on-the-job experience to pull this off. Searching for any even if it’s unpaid but unable to find.

CP is different from mmf and Treasury bills.

Last stop rate for primary Market for TB was 16.7%. You can walk into any bank to drop bid. Although not sure any bid will take place this year again as this week's bud will be the last for the year. You can opt for secondary market though

Thanks what is the rate for secondary market and is there a minimum amount of investment for primary market?

CPs are not an everyday investment like mmf. When it's available, the investment houses will advertise so U can subscribe and the duration for subscription is also short. Longest I've seen is 1 week.
