mercylicious: Please how many points does a Beng of 5 years bag?
Their names/classification is confusing.

jtopsy: @solomonwis:
Thanks Solomonwis, very much appreciated.
Still on the IELTS - CLB point translation, i thought my points is 20(CLB8)since i don't have at least 8.0 in my Listening Ability,i had 7.5.
Are the CLBs based on the individual Ability(i.e,Listening,Speaking,Writing,Reading)as you have calculated?
Thanks for your support.
Cheers

jtopsy: hello everyone, just new on the blog and i need some help here..i would appreciate
i am aspiring to apply for FSW program and my IELTS result is below:

reading=7.5
writing=7
speaking=8
listening=7.5
I would like to know what my corresponding Points would be out of 24 for 1st Language.

2ndly, I would need a clarification on how points are assigned for "Work Experience" , before i can get points for my work experience, is it "Subject to my Employment letter matching the job title/designation as per the NOC "....i mean does the "Job Title on my different employment letters in various companies i have worked have to be word for word/letter for letter match with the NOC Job titles before i get points? Even though my Job description and activities are matching with NOC but the Titles are not word for word match, would i be able to claim points for all these experience?

i hope you guys could help me out with this.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

ferdimako: So you had a copy? I thought that's against our existence.It smirks fraud! Hahaha

mercylicious: I sneaked to Futo (my sch ) from work yesterday.
Dem still neva find my file. I had to give them my student copy which I got in 2011. They checked the computer but still didn't find it. They told the typist to start typing the result and also sent sumone to their store to search with the student copy. I explained to woman how urgent it is.
When I got to d dept dt handles cert verification, it happened dt they receieved the letters from wes yesterday. They have even compiled a letter to send to WES to pay for d cert ver or tell us to pay. I was told to go to diamond bank in the school and raise a draft of 10K, submit in acnts dept and get receipt, which I will submit to them. I went to diamond, they demanded for valid I'd but I didn't come with any, then one old boy, advised me on how to go around it, but unfortunately, the person giving receipt wasn't arnd and I was told to come on monday. I later gave my friend who is also a lecturer in my dept the money to help me complete on monday (he is d one dt went and discovered my file was missing)

Plz is u know anyone frm futo processing cert assessment in WES, tell the person to go to Futo and pay. Its nt paid online. The names there are more than 20.

I am just waiting for my ielts sch, if I don't get max 24, I may have to wait for nov to have 6 years work experience b4 I apply.

solomongrandy: Well CIO in Nova Scotia is not on strike. At-least they are working. The Embassies on strike are mostly outside Canada and especially in Asia. CIO will continue processing and issuing PERs. At worst ECAS wont be updated regularly so that file transfer to local VO can be done in bits. Also not all VOs have joined the strike. Accra isn't on strike as they have confirmed receipt of my file from CIO. What the strike will do is delay the processing for certain High Commissions. Moreover since Files are treated in a First in First Out basis. Applications will always be on a date-to-date basis.

solomonwis: From all indication, the strike is a plus rather than a minus for FSWP applicants. The concentration is more on the FWSP applicants than anything else especially from the CIO in Nova Scotia. The only delay you might experience might be from the Visa Offices (if the visa office responsible for the finalization of your application is one of the offices affected by PAFSO's strike).

I think you should be more concerned about receiving your PER and your AOR than what the effect of the strike might be. As soon as the strike is over, the speed with which applicants will be attended to will be alarming! With the new FSWP in place,the whole process is not expected to last longer than between 6 months to 1 year maximum.

ejydykemorgan: [b]what is the first step to take i want to apply for federal skilled worker program

itunnuoluwaseyi: I applied under NOC 3142, when I tracked my application, itgot there on the 31st of July, how long will it take for them to respond?

itunnuoluwaseyi: The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) union is currently taking strike action, will it affect the FSWP?

Fhemmmy: Break it down for the chap . . . dont mess up his head with all Canadian immigration lingo

xreakz: Hello People, a friend of mine just got a job in Canada and has to relocate. Please he needs to know the kind of visa to apply for and how long it would take.

Thanks and God Bless.

mercylicious: Count down to my 13 days. Its drawing nearer.
Meanwhile, my transcript issue has not been sorted out. I've not been able to go myself cos we has crises issue in the office, by next week it will be less demanding and I shld be able to sneak to school with my student copy, I know that will help.
How long does it take for sch to receive cert verificatn from wes? Sch said they have not received it. I think ill be upgrading to courier. Didn't have money for that when I was applying.

babybird82: Thanks. I was confused because it listed this ones when talking about entering canada.

babybird82: Its me again. Please is proof of funds only in terms of cash balance in ones bank account?

babybird82: Pls on the NOC job description, what does "classified elsewhere" mean?

Secondly, does it mean if you have one of the Job titles listed then you are eligible to apply as long as u have the experience?

solomongrandy: Its been a long while for me and I really miss some of you guys down this end.

After the long wait and too much tension, i just received my PER today. I am sooooo excited.

I pray it goes well with all of you on this side and that we ultimately share a common place to see our common desires fulfilled. God bless you all.

Like I said on the foreign forum, once your Debit card is charged, PER is almost sure.

Now I am waiting for AOR, Medicals and VISA

pjosysnet: Hi everyone, Please i am very much interested to study in any of the Canadian Universities as a foreigner for either MBA or MSc Programme especially from Nigeria to Canada. However, the problem i am having is that i don't know which Universities in Canada that their school fees are cheap, affordable and without IELTS as a per-requisite.

I have 2nd Class Upper in Accounting for 2011/2012 Session and i want to go to Canada and study for either MBA in Information Technology or Msc in Accounting. Why the MBA in IT? This is as a result of my years of experience in the field of IT and presently i am a certified fiber optic technician (CFOT). So i would like to know if anyone can help me with his or her experience on how to go about it since they are already there studying in Canada.

Please i actually need help on how to go about it from the foundation level.

Thank you and God bless your true and honest responds.

mpi210: Thanks for responding. For Additional Family Information (IMM 5406), I'm married and my question is, will it be like IMM 5669, i.e. one each?

mpi210: Thank you so much.

I have another question.
Forms Schedule A: Background Declaration (IMM 5669) and Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) says

Completed, dated and signed by everyone in the following list:
- the principal applicant
- spouse
- each dependent child over 18years.

Please what do they mean?

mercylicious: @Folyshow, I feel you are also applying under 2174 - computer except software. I know ITIL professional is equivalent to a degree abroad, but the problem is geting WES to access it since most of us read on our own and write certificatns. Wes specifies they access certificates obtained through formal training.

Why not write contactca@wes.org. Ask them if its allowed before you apply to WES

mpi210: Solomonwis,

I'm kind of perplexed. I updated my address with one of my banks but it has not been reflected which I saw cos I justed printed my statement. What do you think? I hope CIC wont reject it as it has my former office address which i was using as my contact address.

mercylicious: Enough of all this e fight.

I finally wrote ielts at Benin centre today. The test centre is very okay. Their organisation is excellent. They also have earphone for listening test.I did both speaking and the other tests today.

For me, I think I did well, am only waiting for the examiners to confirm. The examination is not as easy as people think but with adequate preparation, you will find it very easy. You need to be familiar with the kind of questions that you will be asked. www.ieltsbuddy and simon ielts website were very helpful. Make sure you are familiar with the strategies for each section. I finished my exam in record time as against what people complain of. The tips were helpful. In the listening section, if you miss any answer, just jump the questn and continue with other ones. I missed some questions in listening test too.
Half of the people that wrote the exam today have written before and didn't make the score for intended use. Some made the overall band and scored less than 6 in one band, hence the repeat. Please pay attention to all modules when preparing for the exam. Some people ignore speaking or listening but please don't. Also read model and sample essays, they will help you a lot.
Wish you the best in your preparation.

folyshow: Please is it mandatory to have educational qualifications in those job eligibility categories?
What if someone has proof able work experience and professional certifications to back up application. is it acceptable?

ferdimako: Yes if u can't do it others can.D transcript is official and genuine and you are bitching yourself.

ferdimako: Why do you think a transcript is such a document one takes to Heaven? If you know the folks in charge of that paper, you do as I said. You don't need to mention my activities elsewhere. I got 4 copies for my brother from his school.I've my diploma's from the same school and I will get same for my Bsc ( a different School). If you get money,you can work with those staff members. It's difficult when you don't speak their language!

I did not say you should mail it to WES yourself but if you already have a copy, make them to. The thing is that WES will correspond with your school and they will say yes. There is nowhere I won't strive to have at least two copies of your transcript.

justwise: Please don't be silly. You need an agent to fill a form for you? Make sure you take that agent to the UK to do your assignments for you as well
