almaliki: Like I said based on my personal experience.......I had my app rejected d 1st time with sum corrections attached 2 it.....worked on d corrections made and resent it which got accepted.I seriously doubt your "experience"! You were told based on the "correction attached" to ignore Police character certificates at the initial stage by CIC? You were also told to get your credentials notarized by CIC? That is contrary to what is stated on the checklist and experiences of others? You are strongly advised to include your police character certificates when sending your initial application even though you can decide to send this much later when requested by the CIC. Note that this is compulsory and not optional. It is absolutely unnecessary to notarize your credentials except when they have been translated from another language to English Language. You are only required to notarized the copies the credentials in their original form. Please guide yourself with the checklist and don't get people confused by claiming "experience" here. You should understand that this is a public forum and you will not want to deliberately misrepresent facts and give them the colouration of genuine facts based on "correction attached" |
almaliki: Hey fellas......av been silently following dis thread 4 a while now...and I think I'll have 2 chip in one or 2 educate u guys based on my experience......Where did you get the facts about those highlighted parts of your message? |
Saintp: It seems that this program favours married people, Can single guys actually make it?Of course singles can apply and be positively considered. The additional points married people have is the 5 points secured with the English language test of the spouse and/or the Canadian qualifications the spouse have, outside of this there's nothing more. |
sperony: Well, I haven't sat for the english test(no space for British council may be by juneThe only authentic source is this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp Any other source will be equal to falsehood. You can always check that link from time to time |
solomongrandy: He should read both yours and mine. We agreed in principle that anything is possible. He has no reason making this comment after all.Someone may find my advise useful. Time will tell LadyGuinivere: I was only askin for information purposes not to tell u what or what not to do. solomongrandy: Stop Barking Mr. Read my comment wella. I only read out the grey lines and advised anyone that can afford it to go ahead. Advise is not for everyone to take and some wont and yet make a head way. Imagine someone putting in all the effort financially only to meet a brick-wall. Honestly if I haven't submitted by June ending or August I would wait till next year. Its all part of good reasoning with more time to prepare instead of stressing oneself for nothing. Its capital intensive and we must be realistic. If only one person submit correct entry for each occupation across the Asian countries, the cap is met already not to talk of Africa, Europe and even America and Canada. Remember money is not easy to come by and I am not advising anyone to waste it. June may still be ok but realistically speaking July/August i cant speak well. By the way what were you waiting for till now? And please don't be abusive.You all should keep the house together,remember this forum is being followed by people who are even outside the country. You must never give room for the country to be portrayed in bad light. The truth of the matter is,nobody should be discouraged until the cap is filled and that is explicitly stated on the CIC website. Remember this is a year long program and nobody can authoritatively conclude when it is/not too late to submit until it is stated on the CIC website. Nobody should be discouraged to apply. |
bayulll01: Thank you boss how can I get band to practice I need to start asap.more blessingYou can buy practice kits at the British Council and there are resources on the internet you can practice with. All you need do is make use of your google search engine |
bayulll01: Haaaa okay pls solomon wise any Idea how the whole setting of the exam look like,when is the best time to enroleThere are four {4} abilities that are tested under IELTS,Listening,Reading,Writing and Speaking. In Nigeria,the exams are written twice each month and you've got to book your place early enough. The British Council in Nigeria is the body saddled with the responsibility of registration and conducting of the exams in the country. You can register for the exams online. The cost of registration is N35,000 only. You can choose to write the Academic IELTS or General IELTS (General IELTS is required for the FSWP). All you need do to get a good band score is practise,practise and practise. You need a minimum of band score 6 in each ability for the FSWP. |
bayulll01: I mean do I need to write IELTYou have to write IELTS even if you got your qualifications in Canada. |
bayulll01: Alryt bro tanx for the helpYou are not asking any question just passing a comment. |
bayulll01: It is important you write your IELTShttps://www.nairaland.com/1279130/canadian-federal-skilled-worker-program-timelines Justwise gave you that link earlier,why not ask your question there? |
sperony: I'm trying to do a fixed deposit for six months or till the application process is completed , I believe this should be okay for proof of fund.Fixed deposit is ok. You will be asked to produce an up to date proof at least twice before your application is positively considered and concluded. |
sperony: What of gratuity statement of account ? This is paid immediately after resignation from work. Can this be accepted as proof of fund? Please I need to understand.You have to be very careful the kind of document you want to attach as proof of settlement funds. You wouldn't want to submit your application,get it accepted amongst thousands competing for the limited slots/cap and get it thrown out just for flimsy reasons. YOUR FUNDS MUST BE UNENCUMBERED {you should check the meaning of this in the dictionary},READILY ACCESSIBLE AND READILY CONVERTIBLE! |
sperony: Can someone use property valued by estate agent as proof of fund?No sir! That is not readily accessible and it can't serve as proof of settlement funds. |
mpi210: Thank you so much.1. You must have fingers for finger printing2. You just walk into the Forensic department FCID at Alagbon and you will be through within an hour or two (2) maximum. You should not pay anything above N5k (This depends on your show or otherwise of "big manism/womanism" and your bargaining power) Waalaaa,your Police Character Certificate is ready! |
mpi210: Thanks a lot bro.Courier address Centralized Intake Office 49 Dorchester Street Sydney, NS B1P 5Z2 Canada |

Vicjustice: The documents needed are main documents plus supporting documents, with other documented documents and your documented papers to support your documents amongst other documents in documentory documentationI just can't stop laughing each time I read this. Whenever I need a good laugh,I just read this and I start rolling on the floor |
solomongrandy: Solomonwis please could you clarify? I guess we didnt quite understand your explanation the first time. Are you saying once I get the minimum score, I automatically get 4 extra points?CORRECT! |
solomongrandy: In Canada the first official language is English and the second is French. If you get maximum points for Speaking,you get 6points. maximum point for reading 6points. Maximum point for listening 6points. Maximum point for writing 6points. When you add them up it will give you 24points. Now to succeed in getting all 28points you must get an additional 4points from the second official language which is french. To achieve this, you will score 5and above in your french which is CLB 5 and above. Is there something I still dont get here please.Did you get this “fact” from the link or that's what you think? You really need to read that link before you confuse people! You get the four (4) extra points when you meet the minimum threshold in your first language {First Language can either be English or French}. |
solomongrandy: She is correct na Solomonwis. Its what she shared you just posted. Maximum of 24points for first official language and 4points for second official language so when you combine 24+4=28. Correct!!!LadyGuinivere: @kunlexymore See, u get d maximum points of 28 if u can demonstrate that u have ability in both English and French. If u have get the maximum points for English na 24. 2nd language (french) na extra 4 points You need to compare his statement and compare with the requirement on the link. That is for the discerning mind! Where did FRENCH become the second language required to earn the extra four(4) points? |
LadyGuinivere: @kunlexymore See, u get d maximum points of 28 if u can demonstrate that u have ability in both English and French.That is totally wrong! A misrepresentation of fact! Read this link CAREFULLY...http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp |
Kunlexymoore: Please how are marks allocated on the language skills test? Hw do you allign your scores to the 28 available points, considering the fact that CB7 is said to be the minimum while the maximum is CB9?http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp |
dridowu: Good Aftanun, bro , wel done 4 ur nce job. I hv read frm page 1 till present and d canada official ste but sincerly i dnt undastand how it woks at all, anyway i wil stil read it again til i undastand.Just as you rightly mentioned,you can avail yourself of the information available here to prepare for application. The Federal Skilled Worker program(FSWP) is a program meant to identify professionals,skilled workers all over the world who will be encouraged to move over to Canada after passing through some phases to ensure they have what it takes to benefit the economy of Canada and who will in turn get benefit based on the need of the skills they possess. "Courses" are not "released" monthly...There are eligible occupations which have been listed here. Those occupations are eligible for the period between May 2013 to April 2014. If there's going to be any change,you will be duly informed by people on this thread and by the information available on www.cic.gc.ca Veterinary Medicine is not on the eligible occupation for now. |
Bwave: This is one of the reasons am projecting till july/august to forward my application, because we have to wait for thirteen days for the test result which we are yet to take, moreover, I am planning to apply for my transcript on friday and I can't tell how long WES will take for their own issue.Neither me nor my wife studied in Canada but she will take the English test, hope we can get say 5 points under adaptability if she can get band 5 or higher in the IELTS test result.All you need do is to ask her to prepare well for the IELTS. I don't know her ability in English but with good preparation,getting a band score 5 or higher is not difficult. People should remember this is a year long program...That a cap of 300 per eligible occupation is the limit does not mean you can't be considered! Your application can still be considered as long as the cap has not been reached. |
solomongrandy: It will not be my portion in Jesus name. AmenIt won't be your portion,not for you..... ![]() |
solomongrandy: You see not all schools send directly. Some ex-students will get the courier company to come with them to Transcript office (i.e they use the local courier around the school), pick the document themselves to mailed at a later time. Even though the list of Credentials assessment institutions weren't named till April 17th, some could guess what they would be. Like myself, I guessed ICAS and did my assessment before 17th and only had to do an upgrade after the announcement which took me just 5days.You took a great risk by guessing.....Not many people are good at guessing and for a program like this,guess work doesn't pay. You are fortunate to have "guessed" right. In terms of credentials assessment,those who will have the upper hand are people who only have to upgrade their assessment with the authorized bodies since they have already forwarded their transcripts earlier for one purpose or the other. Have you considered people who schooled outside their country of residence,do they have the luxury of time,energy and resources to go to their school to demand for their transcripts? Most institutions outside Nigeria can issue transcripts within days when you make request without you putting pressure on anyone.Unfortunately,most Institutions in Nigeria require you fill some form so as to get your transcripts processed and forwarded. The right thing is for transcripts to be sent directly,not for anyone to handpick. WES has a digitiary system with some institutions,for those institutions you don't have to go through any hassle. All you do is provide WES your details and they can assess your transcripts online directly from the Institution. Unfortunately,Nigeria doesn't have anything close to that. In this program,you could be fast but you must be thorough lest the one who is behind take your slot/position. You must get it right,no space for mistakes. |
solomongrandy: I see....How did the person "gather" transcripts that ought to be sent directly by the issuing institution to the assessing body months before the start off date? Nobody would have known the authorized bodies responsible for assessment until April 17th 2013 when only Four (4) organizations were empowered to assess credentials for immigration to Canada purpose. |
solomongrandy: You know you are so right @Solomonwis? By the way can you just give us a list of possible mistake laden areas that we most likely be a grey area if not carefully looked into.There is no hard and fast rule to it other than to make the checklist {You can find it here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf} You must follow the checklist religiously! That way you will avoid costly mistakes. You can get an envelop and begin to put the documents one after the other and tick as appropriate on the checklist. |
sperony: @Solomonwis, you are doing a great job here and this is what some law firm are charging seriously for. I pray God will water ur own garden too. Pls I need you to help me answer some questions :To gain the maximum 10 points under adaptability, your wife must write the English test,you and/or your wife must have studied in canada and you and/or your wife must have a relative in canada. The proof of settlement funds must be submitted during your initial application. You will be asked to provide an up to date proof 2 or 3 times during the processing of your application before your application is positively considered and concluded. |
Bwave: I am even looking at july/august for my own application.Solomonwis and LadyGuinivere, what do you think?You will be surprised in this program,the first shall be the last. A lot of people have not taken time to understand the process as it is. Many application will be returned unprocessed to pave way for applications that are well packaged. Even as you need to be time conscious,remember this is a year long program {May 2013 to April 2014}. Send in your application when you are ready as long as you are guided by the cap of your eligible occupation. So many people are rushing to submit “mistakes” and it will pave way for well packaged applications. How many people know they have to submit 6 Photographs with the name,date of birth and date the passport was taken at the back of just 5 of the pix? So many things to consider before binning CAD$550 plus other incidental costs! |
LadyGuinivere: The waitin is killing! Any tips on what to do to pass time? Like any links I shud be readin?Here,see what some people think about FSWP........ https://www.nairaland.com/978213/canada-freezes-federal-skilled-worker |
solomongrandy: My guy have sent the extra information he missed out in a fresh courier today after i told him about this thread. I also watched a video on CIC website where they mentioned something like you can make a note of the missing document, attched them and send. Dont know how correct though.Let's wish your friend luck! |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 (of 35 pages)
and my transcript is yet to be sent by my school. The point is I can't see my application reaching there until 1st week of july. I'm sceptical about it, thinking of those asian guys. Is there a way someone can know how many applications they have received at a point in time? I did checked on some sites but they are not updated. Pls house give me ur opinion on this?
