Tribe and religion are the greatest undoing of mankind.

Humans were created with the most developed brains and designed to be the most intelligent but here we are turning out to be most stupid and senseless beings ever to grace mother earth!

I omitted something. I assumed duty in June, we started getting paid in December. Yes, we were owed for about 6 months. It's a state civil service job. When we were finally paid, it was from September.
You said you were owed which means they have, by now, cleared the June to December backlog of salary. For me, this paid job experience started in June.

OvaSabi1:
1. Work experience question: I assumed duty early July although my appointment letter was dated early May. In all my files at work, official resumption is June. Salary also started from June. What date should I state in the reference letter?
If I were you, official resumption date/when salary started would be the best option of the three dates.

2. IELTS: ECA is just completed and I am thinking of sitting for IELTS early June. This is when I will be free and will have money to travel, etc. I don't want to write it too early because I feel that IRCC will be busy with the backlog. I am also looking to start French classes which could take a year before I can sit for TEF. Do you think I should write the IELTS earlier than June?
Whether or not to write IELTS is always directly proportional to how well prepared one is. Since you're the one who can answer that question appropriately, then that's still your choice to make, to be frank. Sit for IELTS exams ONLY when you're feeling 100%plus confident. If not...

PoliticsRe: Amotekun Arrests 80-year-old Herder For Destroying Farms In Ondo by ShoeShineGuy:
I'm not a tribalist but this issue has really got to me that, if given the chance, I won't think twice to... oh well, let's leave it at that.

They are so callous and selfish that they take interest in purposely destroying what others have laboured for, and when you challenge them, they won't even hesitate to maim and kill you. And also for calling them to order, they will come at night to set homes ablaze, rape wives, mutilate innocent children and wreak all forms of sacrilege!

I'm a direct witness of how evil majority, if not all, of these herders are.. Look at how ungrateful these ones are. You brought your cows to the S/West to graze in order to keep your cows alive but decided to do a destroy-as-you-go on people's farms on your way back to your base. Ungrateful lots! Only God knows how many more farms they would have destroyed before arriving Kogi State if he had not been apprehended.

Tell me who in his rational sense, will keep being at the receiving end of this havoc and not speak up? One thing is certain; Buhari's tenure will come to an end and it's only a matter of time. The day of reckoning will surely come in this country. They have sown that seed of wickedness all across the nation, they should await a time of harvest!

Good evening Fam..

Please oooo, I've been looking for who to buy dollar from at a good rate or transfer to my dom account. I got an offer of N450 from the US last Friday but waa thinking it was high as I don't really have much. Now I'm ready, the person has used up the money (don't know how sincere he is sha).

Is there anyone here who would be kind enough to help at that rate?
grin
If he was indeed sincere, it was a very very good offer. Parallel market offers it at about N485, if not more, with the way things are falling apart. Whatever you do, be careful ma'am!

The epistle too long and I just couldn't read it. Since the caption says she's your girlfriend, it meant you saw her, liked her and wooed her. Since you guys have been enjoying good times together without involving Nairaland, I think whatever the outcome is now, you should leave us out of it as well.

Meanwhile, @seun, @lalasticlala, @Mynd44, @justwise and any other concerned mod, kindly withdraw this post from the FP.. grin

Urielbam:
Good morning Gurus in the house,

I have been following this thread from part 1 and I have read most of it.

My question is what are my chances of getting PR with the below details:

Age- 39
Education - B.Agric
Almost done with MSC
Work experience - 5+
Spouse Age -45
Education -Bsc
Family size - 4
Whatever you've got to do, you've got to do fast as age isn't on your side no more. As from 40yrs, you're going to start losing 10points till 44yrs (while the remaining 5points accruable from age is lost at 45yrs) as against the 5/6points being lost between age 30-39yrs. So, from the foregoing, your spouse obviously isn't in a good stead to be the PA anymore as he doesn't have any points left to earn from age at 45.

My recommendation is that you need to be the PA, wait and evaluate your Masters only and max-out IELTS at LRWS = 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5. Start learning French asap and plan to write TEF Canada in 8-10months time to achieve a CLB 7. You can earn additional/bonus 50points from that feat in addition to the regular 16 12 points awarded for a CLB 7. Your spouse can then augment your score with max 20points from 8777 IELTS score as a secondary applicant. Evaluating your spouse's BSc is also a source of additional CRS points but you might not be needing that in the end depending on the prevalent CRS cut-off by the time you're finally in the pool.

As an alternative to TEF, SINP is a great option to explore, especially if you have a sibling in Sask to claim 20 awesome points that can shoot you way above 70points with respect to SINP's eligibility grid. But this is if your NOC isn't included in the SINP's list of excluded occupations. OINP is almost out of reach as you need to accumulate at least 460 CRS points while in the EE pool.. You will get more valuable information on Page 1.

Wishing you all the best now!

You'll notice that the tweet said:
1. They cannot comment of specific cases
2. Second part of the tweet 2/2 had a link: ow.ly/n2ly30i7yRw

If one types that in a browser (or copy and paste sef), it takes you directly to the IRCC website on POF (meaning pls cross check this tweet against IRCC requirements). That page says. IF your spouse is coming with you, you can apply using money in their account, provided you prove you have access to it. This implies that IF your spouse is NOT coming with you i.e. unaccompanying, then you cannot.

Perhaps we are wrong in our interpretation though but that is what is written.

Also see responses from canadavisa. The 2 statements by legalfalcon appear to me to be inconsistent, but hey we are not VOs right, just trying the make the best of our situation and the information at hand.

Wishing you the best in your application and sincere apologies if you felt bashed (I was one of those that responded to you).

The best thing to do is just to use this opportunity you people have while your kinsman is still the president to demand of him to break up the country so that you people will have enough time to relocate to your northern bushes while the Igbos relocate back to base and same for others. After then, you can now seize food supply to any country that refuse to worship you guys and your cows!

We boarded and took off, some minutes after take off we were given a bassinet for our baby, which was helpful, she slept, all was good and we landed Addis Ababa. After a few hours we boarded and took off for Toronto. The flight was annoyingly long, 16hrs plus, I barely slept or watched a movie because of my baby. We arrived Toronto and officials asked those with connecting flights to disembark first, we proceeded to immigration, the lady was nice and fast and in less than 10mins we were done, she asked for our address for PR, we didn’t have one so she gave us a form to fill and that was it. I was still in disbelieve because I expected the process to be tedious and long. Our bags were not checked no questions asked, we got two WELCOME TO CANADA.
Congrats to you and the family Setf. You've conquered and thanks for the gist. Quite encouraging for some of us that there's light at the end of this tunnel. Also interesting to know that somehow, people are still finding a way to sneak out. cheesy
