Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 8 by smartkester(m): 2:24pm On Oct 12, 2019
Please a quick one, I have an MSC in chemical engineering and proficiency certificate in Project management. Can I send both certificates for evaluation to WES or I just send my MSC alone?

Whenever you're praying regarding this recruitment, just pray like this "Oh Lord just give me the GRACE to stand out for the greater good irrespective of the number of applicants awaiting good news". Reason for this is that as you're praying others are praying as well so it's not matter of being perfect, intelligent or acing the interview (by strength shall no man prevail) but by GRACE. Best wishes

Lmao cheesy when your ignorance didn’t work, you’re here talking about rudeness. Yet you were the one who called me funny, bitter. I only called you ignorant which isn’t an insult because you are ignorant of the EE process. Guy your emotional blackmail will not work because an open minded person would see I wasn’t rude to you. I only told you the truth which obviously is bitter. You responding to other people doesn’t move me as far as you got schooled. Once they are beaten hands down, they start with the narrative you were rude. Guy admit, you were wrong, you refused to be schooled, someone else saw your argument, he schooled you and you saw you couldn’t argue blindly anymore grin grin. Don’t start the narrative of rude because I wasn’t rude to you, you were because you started going personal. I don’t have a problem because I am happy, teachable and always ready to get myself informed, as for you I can’t say the same and I am not the colour of your problem grin grin but I hope you find solution soon and read rather than argue if not your stay in Nigeria will be prolonged. Have a nice night

Lol, you see how [/b]unteachable[b] you are? undecided Now do an assignment use the CRS calculator, simulate a single applicant, chose masters or professional education and simulate with this order as you clearly don’t know that if you have the following scores in IELTS you have maxed out.
L8.5
R-8.0
S-7.5
W-7.5
Mind you the above scores will fetch you the same mark as those with 9999.
Foreign work experience choose 3 years or more then tell us what you got. What an ignorant person (it’s not an insult, it’s a fact. Anyone can be ignorant) like you doesn’t know is with your supposed 8888 that you stated her CRS point is 478 and yet you are here arguing pointlessly! Arguing about something you clearly nothing about. Guy, as long as you keep posting wrong info, I will quote you because of future thread users.
Attached is a simulated scores with
LRSW 8.5, 8.0,7.5, 7.5 (481)
LRSW 8.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0 (469)
And your almighty
LSRW 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0 (478).

And 3 years experience, professional degree and under 30. You have a contrary opinion?
You still want to argue blindly? Bring your arguments with facts! Your confidence level is writing nonsense is top notch.
my problem with you is that you're so rude and I don't know the pain you carry as you can see from the way I replied those above you in a calm way. Please and please you need to take it easy I'm not the reason for your anguish grin grin grin cheesy
This is nairaland, I don't know you neither do you know me. Do have a wonderful night

Lmao, talking about being bitter because you are told you have a wrong perception of something? You will be alright. Guy, you seriously need to take a chill pill. She is a lawyer and her degree is evaluated as equivalent to a professional course so she gets the same scores as those with masters degree. Did you know that? NO! If not you won’t be displaying ignorance! You are the one who doesn’t know what you’re typing. Familiarize yourself with the EE thread and stop arguing blindly. And Yes if she gets the maximum scores which is LRSW of 8.5,8,7.5,7.5, under 30 years of age, with three years experience, her CRS point will be 481 and she will be out of the pool in no time. And should it be 8777 in the same order and same parameters, that’s 469. All these wouldn’t be accurate only if she is above 30 or doesn’t have a three year experience or she is both (above 30 and less than 3 years experience). Please tell us the calculator you used in calculating the points. Do you even know there is a CRS calculator? I doubt it because if you knew there is one, you wouldn’t confidently display ignorance with so much ego. You refused to be educated, I saw Tina26 direct you to the EE thread but you refused to read thoroughly because in your head it’s for billionaires. Get informed please and stop stating ignorance as facts! You quoted me at first so if you quote me yarning opata, I will challenge you. You can take your bitterleaf personality elsewhere if you can’t be schooled. The thing is if you refuse to learn, you will not achieve anything on your immigration journey and it’s not a curse. It’s a journey that takes patience, humility and understanding. Read! Read!! Read!!!
lol funnily enough I can't recall going hard on you, so because I don't share your point of view I've turned an ignorant fellow. Please take to correction when you're wrong there's no way CRS calculator can give you score of 481 if you're a lawyer under 30 with 8888 IELTS,please let's be guided, go back to your CRS Calculator and recalculate. As for your info I've been on the EE for over 5months so when you talk about knowing the indepth of EE I do as well. The problem here is you're just against my point because I don't share your views. Last time I checked every one is entitled to his/her own opinion, I would reiterate again do what works for you best. If going through the school route works better for me aunty please let me be and if EE works better for you then it's fine. I just dished out my advice to the lawyer and I can't recall imposing my advice on her. Once again please I beg you don't reply me again. Peace out

Like you said you don’t know her age, and like wise you don’t know her ability with English test if she takes ielts so you can’t decide for her. If she is under 30 and she maxes out her English test which isn’t impossible, and has three years experience in a profession under the three NOC codes. She can achieve a CRS point of 481 which is more than 456 even with the minimum scores in ielts of 8777 and other parameters I stated she can get 469. There is still tiny hope for those with 456 and even at that a province can nominate them. Stop arguing pointlessly! And stop projecting your insecurities on people, you obviously can’t afford it. She hasn’t said she can’t, she only said she can’t afford 40k Canadian dollars. Go read well on Express entry and stop preaching the gospel of you can’t do it for people. By the way I saw a comment of yours somewhere that ECA is 300k really? What are you evaluating? It’s obvious you haven’t read anything about it, you are just going about on assumption. For your own good, take your time to go through the thread. Good luck in your cheap school search.
did I just see score of 481?
It's obvious you don't know what you're typing. Mind you I'm not being negative or pessimistic but I'm just trying to say there are easier ways to migrate legitimately. I never asked her to cut corners to go to Canada so I don't see why you're being bitter because I don't share your view. Please just let it slide, not everyone would get to Canada by EE. The idea is getting there with complete papers. So do what works for you and please don't quote me again. Thanks

PS. I know ECA is less less than 300k,

Okay, I don’t have the strength to argue with you. If you think schooling is one Naira in Canada good luck to you. She is not married according to her comments so far she is only engaged, so for someone whose only dependant would be the baby she is expecting. How much is the proof of funds for two applicants? About 15k plus which is about 4m Naira and some change. She’s a lawyer, all she needs is evaluate her degree, do IELTS and get into the pool. So pray tell no matter how cheap the schooling is, won’t she spend money? Except you are talking about the common thing of going through school route and then heading on to do a different thing. Read about the PR before you start arguing pointlessly
Aunty do your assignment well there are cheap and affordable schools in Canada and with the way CRS scores keeps increasing everyday the best and fastest way to jet out is through school. This isn't a pointless arguement, some people have been in the pool for over 5months and no ITA yet because it gets competitive everyday. I don't know her age but the best score she can get on CRS is 456 which isn't enough at this point

Why not go the PR route instead if you have work experience? You studied law and your course is evaluated and giving the same points as those with masters.
you people are very funny, some one said he has no money and you're still asking him to go through PR route??

Hello everyone. Please I need advice. I intend relocating to Canada next year (I want to start applying this December) with my baby with a student visa. I studied law. (I am a lawyer)But right now I can’t afford to go for masters in law which is around 40,000 CAD. I plan on doing a post graduate course which I can use to work and apply for for work permit after it’s over. I need advice on the course I can apply for that will help me get a work permit and possibly lead to PR.
I have same plans as you, though I have my MSC already but no job yet. So I'm thinking of going to Canada with a student visa and I can't afford the PHd fee so I'm thinking of going for PGD to boost my chances of getting a wok permit, from there one can push gradually for the PR. Incase you have any info of province that offers work permit to PG students, please kindly share.

If a different set of folks are paid tomorrow, then things are on fast track. Should 2nd still be paid tomorrow, normal pace continues.
We can count the number of massive interview date to be paid. Each day signifies 1 week. I doubt any 5th applicant has been paid. So next week Wednesday would be for them. Afterwards APL.
The above is applicable if Nnpc wants to conclude massive wave payment before dropping APL.
Some people would not have been paid upon collection of APL due to errors or if there’s any correlation between APL and TF.
Just my inference. I might just be propounding the wave payment theory. Lol
your speculations are wrong. There is no pattern how this stuff work, a friend of mine that did on 5th got paid 6k this evening

About the relationship between alert and APL; here's my take:

1: It is said that during the 2011/2012 recruitment both the successful and the unsuccessful were paid the dreaded TP; and the amount paid during that time was much better than what is being paid now.
*what comes to mind*
>is nnpc trying to cut cost because of the price of oil?
>or is it just due to the economic downtime?

2: Now times have changed. Why will a company be too eager to pay successful applicant when is it trying to cut cost? Illogical right?

3: However whether we like it or not the only logical explanation to this is that they are trying to quickly settle or compensate unsuccessful applicant (Please note: I'm only thinking out loud, not in affirmation. thank you.)

4: Finally everybody who put down their account number will most likely be paid but the mode at which they are doing it, is suspicious.

Finally, please this is simply me thinking. Attacking me is irrelevant to me.
wrong assertion bro..everybody would get paid whether successful or not..the Tfare has nothing to do with successful or not you people should stop your false assertions please and be positive

Oga, if i have to be honest with you. I will advise you forget about oil and gas jobs for now and switch to other career /sector as long as this pipeline crisis is still going on in Canada if you are interested in migrating to Canada. Imagine WCS dropped to as low as $8 last year but thank God its now around $45 though still at a discount to WTI. Its because of this oil and gas job prospects situation i have been statlling in migrating to Canada because i have been finding it difficult to let go of a job with net salary of $110k CAD equivalent in Middle East as a Petroleum Engineer and migrate to Canny land with my family. Hopefully, if i can achieve my financial goals asap i can revisit this Canny stuffs.
