Remicynt:
Plz do I rewrite or remark... I am the pa LRWS 8,6.5,7,7. I am in severe pain...

Its rare for the marks to change for Listening and Reading because they're mcq but you can try your luck. Depending on whom you wrote it with, you can give it a go. If it's with MOD, it may be better for you to rewrite because to pay that remarking fee, have your scores unchanged and lose that money will be painful

Ibukunstar:
Please I want to ask if someone with ssce can be eligible to travel through express entry if I can take the ielts and other exams and pass it. I need help on choosing which is best for me and my family. Is study visa a choice if I can't make it through express entry

No. You need a degree for EE. You can get a study visa if you secure a school for undergraduate studies. Its expensive but you can get a scholarship if you try.
If you're married and your wife has a degree with work experience, she can apply

[quote author=godG post=85005198][/quote]I'm sorry for your loss. May your brother's soul rest in peace and may the Lord comfort you and your family.
Your faith is inspiring and I pray the Lord will do wonders for you in Canada and beyond.
Congratulations and God speed

Kaygirl33:
Wow. As in woooow! Congratulations. Shortest timeline I've ever seen. I pray for this kind of speed. Amen.

I saw someone who got theirs in 28 days. Back in the early days i.e 2017, it was quite quick.

DonFreshmoney:
Oga... dont tell me what to do on my quote.. is it your quote? I chose to quote all.. mind your business

Reducing the quote leaves more space for new information to be shared on the page. Its irritating when people unnecessarily quote long write ups we've seen already. Be guided please

Icecreamy:
Ladies and gentlemen it's Peeeeeeee Peeeeeeee Rrrrrrrrrrr,

AOR - 28th August, 2019

jjohndoe83:
Any Nigerian September AOR Group? Holla at me, I want to join.

If you find one, @ me please

ednut1:
British would begin to write ielts And also proof of funds of 12k. People wey still dey owe student loans. Can't happen . Its british with indian descent that are look at ee

Canada was trending yesterday after the Tories won and it wasn't British people of Indian descent I saw tweeting. Like us here in Naij, not everyone will qualify for it, but those who have the means will. Canada has their type of system and they will be drawn to that prospect

With the Tories winning yesterday in the UK, it looks like Canada will get alot of attention from the British. I pray God will allow us enter soon oh

Titaness:
Hello, I sent you a message. Kindly respond when you can

I've responded

aremso:
please dont get me wrong oo i have never told her to stop whatever she wants to do, i only told her she cant walk the journey alone! What is my business with her divorce or not?

You made it your business when you said she can't walk this journey alone, meaning she needs her husband to scale through this process which is totally false. Imagine suggesting an adult stop a life changing decision just because you feel shes unable to achieve a simple process on her own. Did she tell you her soon to be ex-husband wants to move to Canada? Abi she will just walk up to him one of these days and say "babe, abeg let's stop this divorce proceeding. I need these scores for Express Entry, so go and write IELTS and assess your degree, afterwards we can continue this process in court. You're the best babe *muah'*". I really don't understand how Nigerians think. It baffles me

aremso:
the truth be told, you cant embark on this journey alone with your age. You need the ielts scores of your spouse to push it to at least so please think about it. My wife is the primary applicant cos of age issues, even at 31 plus my ielts, we are still pray for Gods favour. So, please decide in time cos time is fast spent already and if you clock 36 you have -5 in your points.

So, she should stop divorce proceedings in court because of Express Entry score? Or am I missing something?

CanadianBae:
Tie breaking rule affected me My score is 478 but I submitted on the 9th of Dec

Are you sure? Tie-break rule only applies if your score is the exact same as the minimum score for the ITA round. If there are two or more people with the same score, the last person to create their profile won't qualify for the draw. I think you should wait till the end of the day to receive the email.
Others can chime in to correct me.

Can someone link me up with the September AOR WhatsApp group? Thanks

I dont know anyone who has done that before but I know people who have had law school cert returned unevaluater because it does not compare to any canadian education. It is naija specific.

I believe I've read about people whom WES assessed LLB and Law school certificate as two or more certificates

gsade:
Best news for lawyers then! So WES may be the way out. I had a sneaky feeling it could work with WES. I did WES too initially then waited months to do IQAS but upon submission my spouse LLB WES evaluation was still given point as though it was a professional degree. At that point, I started doubting the wisdom in waiting that long (three months) for IQAS evaluation. So I have always thought may be WES evaluation can pass the scrutiny for lawyers. Congrats by the way! Go and prosper!

We are in the same boat oh. I read on Canadavisa about Lawyers who used WES and still got PPR. They just explained with LOE about the disparity and what IRCC says about Law degrees. Some people here said it won't work because its misrepresentation but how can it be misrepresentation when their government states otherwise? Glad to see proof of this from a Nigerian here. Granted this didn't work for everyone but I did this too and I'm praying for a positive outcome. God dey

RomStar01:
No they didn’t lol and yes I did.

Ehen, where is Tina? I've forgotten her handle. See a Lawyer that claimed points for First Professional Degree even though WES evaluated it as a 4 years Bachelor Degree.
I did the same thing. I pray my outcome will be like yours. Thanks for the confirmation and congratulations again.

RomStar01:
I’ve been a silent reader, it’ll be unfair if I don’t share my PPR story here.

IELTS January 2019
1st ECA WES LLB March 2019


Ghost update: 6th December 2019
PPR: 10th December (1:17am) dated 9th December 2019.

Trust me when I say my application wasn’t perfect, it was just God’s grace!

Congratulations. I'm guessing WES didn't equate your degree to a First Professional Degree. Just to confirm, you still claimed points for First Professional Degree on your application abi?

ednut1:
wait When there is two or more degrees with llb and law school cert.

I heard obtaining Law School certificate ain't easy, as with all things in Nigeria

gsade:
This is correct. It may be better to just wait till IQAS is ready.

If its LLB and Law school certificate, it will be evaluated as two or more certificates. I made a mistake. LLB on it's own will be evaluated as a 4 years Bachelors degree by WES even though it isn't

Shinningstar201:
Wrong info.

Law school + Bachelors degree = 2 or more certificates.

You're correct. I thought I saw only LLB degree

ednut1:
the law school nko

My bad. I thought I saw only LLB. You're correct.

Edmontonlad:
Try WES.
I think with your Law school and LLB, they will give you 2 or more Certificate.

Had to modify my answer. With LLB and Law school certificate it's two or more certificate. Sorry for the previous response I gave

zohan101:
Bro, mechanical engineering and you dont like mathematics/calculations??
Okay, you dont have to "like" calculations but you MUST know how to do it to succesfully be a Mechanical Engr..If you have problems carrying out calculations dont even make your life complicated by studying Mech Engineering.Because you will be fustrated. Check out other courses with less mathematics/calculations..Its not by what you study but rather how well you can apply your acquired knowledge..Cheers..

I was wondering as well. Aside Software Engineering, every other branch of engineering involves heavy mathematics (I think). Best to go with a programme that doesn't involve too much maths

Hello all. After about a month and a half (could be more. Lol) of reading, I've finally caught up with this thread. I'm still post AOR but I'm praying and hoping to receive PPR before the end of the year.
I've learnt so much from this thread and I want to thank you all for your contributions. You're stars and may God bless you guys.
Okay, back to reading mode. Enjoy winter

GARRIYELLOW:
Good evening all.

Please I have a question. I'm a newbie here.
I was going through the CRS criteria and I came across this: Master's degree, OR professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession (For “professional degree,” the degree program must have been in: medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, law, chiropractic medicine, or pharmacy.)
Physiotherapy is not stated on the website but it is a professional degree. So I'm confused as I dont know if its included in this category of professionals.

Please help me with an answer.

Thanks

Physiotherapy is not one of the degrees that's assessed as First Professional Degree. You can't use it to claim Master's degree points.

Eraytee:
Have you heard of renewal of vows? Please it is never illegal to marry your spouse more than once, you are not married I guess so you might not understand. When i get to canny if I choose to renew my vows with my spouse. It is allowed. So go and do your research well and com back. If you like marry your spouse a mil times it’s never a problem. If you ever been to the marriage counseling process in the court you will know that you can renew your vows under the law. Lols @bold am the husband... don’t get confused about my name am a man.

Lool. Nigerians are funny people. "Renewal of vows" is different from "remarrying". Renewal of vows is a celebration of a couples marriage and it is not legally binding. When you remarry, it is most often a different person, and a new marriage certificate is issued. You don't know the difference and you're here doubling down on this false, ignorant information. You need to do your own research on the matter before you get in trouble. No go carry this mindset go Canada oh. E no go good for you.

Eraytee:
they should go back and re-marry again at a registry different from the initial marriage, that would give them a new certificate.... its allowed to marry same person as many times as possible (NB: I have two marriage certificates with same spouse). [/b]na your money kill am. my opinion. else if IRCC get to know he was married before landing and never informed them, his PR status would be revoked.
[b]CC @Queenwoman

Under which law is it allowed please? Doing this would be even worse than failing to inform them about the marriage before he landed. That would be clear cut misrepresentation with the intent to deceive to change their outcome. Let us not use this platform to push wrong/illegal activity.
Plus I suggest you keep the fact that you have two marriage certificates to you and your husband. Such information can land you in trouble

[quote author=POTUSUK post=83892216]Hello good people of this forum—

Please I need answers to the following questions:
1. Do we have to be a professional Engineer in other to get Engineering jobs in Canada?
2. If yes; is it generic for a Petroleum Engineer?
3. Can my being a member of Engineers Australia be directly transferred to Engineers Canada? Is this the same as been a professional Engineer?
4. Are there dedicated sites or forums on here for Petroleum Engineers looking for jobs in Canada?
5. My COPR city of destination is Edmonton. Does that mean I have to land at Edmonton and not say Calgary for example?
6. Which cities in Canada have the best prospects for a petroleum engineering job?

You can ask these questions on the "Living in Canada" thread. There are lots of Engineers there who've answered questions on career prospects for Engineers in Canada. It's one of the regulated careers and I believe you will have to write their exams before you can practice there.
As to 3, I saw an article about a Nigerian Engineer who worked in Australia and was able to get his experience recognised in Canada. I'm sure if you ask on that thread or use Google, you'd find answers to 4 and 6.
As to 5, if you didn't go through the PNP route (if you weren't sponsored by the Province of Alberta) you can land and live anywhere in Canada except for Quebec because they have their own immigration program. You can choose to live in Quebec afterwards
though[color=#000099][/color]

Modified: You can land in Quebec. IRCC answered a person who asked on Twitter

MJKJ:
You are too busy to use the search bar but not too busy to type about post-ielts dream no you are not busy, just lazy.

If you have read ALL pages you would have found your answer to no. 2.

Loooooooool

ednut1:
see this adr lol

On the "Living in Canada" thread, I read a story about a woman who received an ADR to prove she worked in her office by taking photos of it. She did it during her company's Christmas party. It is well. Lol

Victorex001:
Chief! Calm down pls, I just clarified that the company is owned by an Uncle who’s ready to give me all support and documents to back it up.

You do know that this is an open forum and immigration agents peruse these platforms right? This is why it's a major hurdle for Nigerians to get visas to foreign countries or why Nigerians in general are distrusted because people like you feel you can pull a fast one and deceive immigration agents. Nigerians who have genuine work and credentials are denied visas at an alarming rate because your kind have made foreign countries believe all we do is lie and take advantage of systems.
In this process, all that you submit must be genuine. You don't work for your Uncle and yet you want to basically lie that you do. If you have a keke business, why not use that? Many self-employed people on this platform have applied and gotten their applications approved.
Please don't add further to the headache Naija people receive daily. The country is messed up and people are trying to jakpa. No come pour sand for our garri and please desist from asking questions of deception.
Thanks
