Dear e_fam,
God bless all for u response to all our jjc enquires, pls I work as a call center agent for a Telecom company, I need a NOC kindly assist.

Yes you can do it by listing her as unaccompanied. What is your CRS with and without her?
If you can take along please try because spouse sponsorship can be tasking.
You can evaluate both your degrees and you start studying for IELTS. Show her the sister thread and let her read the landing stories, who knows, she might come around sooner than later.

BiggestAmaju:
Let me make a BIG shout out to you all here. I have been reading everything relating to this trend in the past two weeks to really really be informed but I still have very sensitive questions unanswered.

First, I have made personal calculations from the 8777 preliminary eligibility test. I am married with 2 kids of 5 and 7. Spouse with HND and I have masters and ages 35 and 31. Been running a registered company since 2013 in Real Estate, Sales, Installation and maintenance of security equipment, Agriculture (Fish farming, Fish feed production & Palm Plantations) and general contractor with both private, corporate organisations and government. My wife is the GM of the company but have refused to listen to anything about IELTS (lol maybe she doesn't see the value of the attempt as much). So back to calculating wit Non accompanying spouse the score was very high but with accompanying spouse without IELTS drops the scores.
Now, will it be possible to run all this alone and later add my family? I really want to be thoroughly schooled here. PLEASE!!!

1. She's self employed. She sells foodstuffs and Akube clothes. This she has been doing after her nysc. I don't want her to use 1 year nysc experience because we are going to fall short of 25 points i.e 440 which isn't encouraging. How do we get reference letter from her foodstuffs and clothing business?
You can combine NOCs, both NYSC and her business. However, if she has been self employed for 3+ years, she can do without her NYSC experience. She however needs to mention it in her personal history.

2. What Noc are we going to categorize her business ?

3. Personally I think with that kind of business, she is more eligible for FST and not FSW. What is her job description? (Please see quote above)

4. [Deleted question] Did she work for 3 years? If the answer is no, then, NO.[/quote]

Could you please elaborate? Please give more info to better assist you. eg: is a foreign degree? etc..

Evaluation bodies would evaluate your transcript which should be equivalent to something in Canada. I say include it in whatever you are looking to evaluate and see what equivalency you get. You might be better off using an evaluation body other than WES if it is a Nigerian pre-degree.

favouritedami:
Hello Everyone

Please has anyone tried to evaluate pre degree? If yes, Please was it recognized?

Welcome home sir, welcome home!

joo2018:
I was of the opinion that I could not take a long break from this thread for anything, that even after landing, I will still contribute.

Well, I couldn't fight life. Relocating especially with a sizable family is a full time job. Settling in a new country especially in an area you don't know anybody is a full time job. Something has to give

I'm still finding my feet.

Definitely answer "NO" to that

godG:
Good People,

I had an inguinal hernia (a.k.a. sports hernia) surgery 5 years ago. No complications. I started my involvement in sports a month after the surgery.

Do you think I should answer "Yes" to the question asking about "serious diseases or physical or mental disorders" under statutory questions?

Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

You only needed to evaluate your MSC for higher points. If you want them to remove the BSC, send them an email.

oluwareni:
Back with my numerous questions o.

I Have a Msc from a foreign uni however I have put in my MSc, BSc and WAEC for evaluation. Reading the post, I can see I might not require the WAEC and BSC

can someone please confirm. And if I don't how can I get them to remove this. Thank you

Yaaasss! You go sis! Show em what you made of!

Ifeoma77:
Hello from the other side

Congratulations Hephgirl!!
@ TM what a dramatic announcement

Topsmamen:
*walks into class

"Students, tear out a sheet of paper and answer the following question".

"It's somebody's PPR!!! Our very own! Who's this person? Select no more than 1 answer and fill the blank space".

Heph ____

D). girl

Hephgirl:
Yes o.. Finally it's PPR for me

9 people agreed with you by liking your post. Yes, Master's degree is higher than two or more degrees. You can check this with the CRS tool.

bigwizzy001:
Why is no one answering me on this ? Please help provide an insightful answer to this. It is to make a decision as I need to increase my crs with the way point is skyrocketing.

Thanks...

Please play around with the CRS tool and come back with more questions.

Ladykeigh:
Good evening house, please I need your input.

My husband is reluctant to get started. Can I be the principal applicant ? I have a B.Sc in Computer science but never worked as a Computer scientist. I also have a certificate in Oracle Database Administration as an Associate. But never practiced.
You don't have to work in your field of study to qualify for EE. As long as your degree can be evaluated and your work experience in a valid NOC (0, A, B). (Please see page 1)


Worked in Customer service and Banking (Loan recovery ) for 2 years and 2 and half years respectively. You will get max points for 3+ years of experience provided you can get the proof of work experience. (Please see page 1)


I have worked as a cook in my food business for 6 years since I resigned at my bank job. Will I stand a chance ? Yes ma'am, you stand a chance.

My husband on the other hand is the Country Program Manager at a Solar energy company, he studied Statistics. No Masters degree nor certificates.
We both have B.Sc only. You both need to evaluate your degrees.

I am 32 years old and he's 36 years old. You should be the primary applicant. Your age is an advantage.

I just want to get started, I'm tired of taking in all the information without getting anything done as I have relied on my husband to do stuff.
You can get started and he will follow suit when he sees progress.

Can I get my culinary school certificate evaluated to begin with ? I just re-read your degrees and you might actually qualify for two or more degrees. I am not a 100% sure about this so I'll cc Topsmamen.

What's the first step to take, please ?
1. Calculate your score here using 8777 for IELTS (LRWS).
Edit: Did a quick simulation, you might need to max out IELTS to get into the 450/460s
2. Start evaluating your degree(s) as this is time consuming. Please note that WES requires WAEC for Nigerian degrees. If you don't want that hassle, you might want to look at other evaluation bodies. (Please see page 1)
3. Study and write IELTS.
4. Embrace the warmth of the Express entry pool, the water is "perfect" now, things might get rowdy after the election.

Attached says "valid" travel documents. Your new passport is valid, the old one isn't.
Just the new one is required.

TemiGee:
Good afternoon all, I know this question has been asked many times before, but different people seem to have varying opinions. Please I will appreciate if someone can explain this to me. Are we required to scan the bio pages and stamped pages of new and old passports or only new passport. This attachment has got me confused.

guru's please "EPP" a family

Marriage certificate
One and same person affidavit. etc..
A simple and straightforward LOE. "Before marriage I was "ABC" after marriage I changed my name to "ABD"

This might be a bit of an overkill, but it is better safe than sorry.

Ok2016:
Good day all,

In a situation where one's express entry profile name is Okoro Mary Ijeoma (carrying her husband's name, 1st name and middle name), and her BSc, MSc and ECA is Oboli Mary (carrying her maiden name and first name only), when such person receives ITA, hope she won't have issue while submitting her document.

Also her employment letter is carrying her maiden name, her 1st and middle name but promotions letter is in her hubby's name, her 1st and last name.. Would this affect anything?

I would really appreciate if someone could attend to my questions?

Thank You

I read about a similar case on a different forum. This is what the applicant did.
Send them an email asking for the pay-slips and let them respond via email saying no. Print out the email thread and attach it to your LOE.
If you have bank statements, print them and highlight the deposits. It would be best to use a different highlighter for each company/employer (this can be done online).
You won't/should not be rejected for this. The applicant in this example was approved.
Good luck!

johnnybravo1990:
Advice!

For my ADR, two out of three previous employers have refused to give me pay slips. They said they don’t give. What do you think will be a satisfactory LOE? Can I just say, ‘when I worked in - - -, I wasn’t given pay slips, and present attempts to get pay slips were futile as pay slips were said to be unavailable’? I have all my bank statements ADR for all 3 employers. Can my application be rejected for this?

Reporting for duty sir!

Topsmamen:
Meanwhile, where is @Stencil

You are just about to announce your PPR. Start rejoicing and don't forget to send me prophet offering when it lands.

Torkwase1:
Good evening house. Been away for a looooong time after getting AOR, December 11. Waiting for updates was tortuous, and following Nairaland appeared to be a bigger torment for my impatient mind. I decided to switch off everything concerning Canada and face my work.
Anyway, I still havent received PPR, but somehow my mind is at ease now.
Please contact me if you need any help with your IELTS, especially in writing and speaking. Let me be useful to the house!

You will get points for "Two or more degrees"

Sparks04:
URGENT: Please guys, what will the the level of education for someone that went through the polytechnic, got an OND, thereafter direct entry to Uni to obtain a BTech?
Thanks

Bless your heart Always here to help

Jaybye:
Hello to everyone in the house. I've been a silent reader all the while just because I had to scroll through all the threads from Part 1 to the current thread. This is to avoid asking questions you gurus have taken time to address in the past.

LMAO Been a while I heard that name

yemblaze:
Hmmmm....Prof. Emeritus

Buhari...

_{*Logs out*}

Ifeoma77:

In other news, we need to find a new supervillain to support, any recommendations?

Changing your name after marriage is a choice and not the law. You can bear your maiden name all your life and nobody would/should bat an eye.
If you want to change your name for your own personal reason, you can. If you really don't want to, please just leave it as is.

Mamabigboy:
Good evening all. I trust we are doing fine.
My hubby and I got married traditionally 5years ago, and we are also planing to legalise the union at a registry next month. We are expecting our eca and about to sit for ielts. My questions go thus:
As I still bear my maiden name as at the time of wes and ielts, will this not affect the whole process?
At what point will my change of name doc be required?
Thank you.

Anuptaphobia is the fear of being/staying single. I've met many people who have this and also those who have tokophobia (fear of giving birth)
And then there are people who have Gamophobia (Fear of marriage)
LOL we all have some sort of phobia.

I used to have IRCC-phobia (The fear of waiting too long for application approval). I've now been delivered from it.

johnnybravo1990:
Anuptaphobic—why can’t I find it in my dictionary? Where did this word come from?

.

There you are!!! Strange how you miss someone you’ve only met online lol

That’s the impact Ify leaves

Ifeoma77:
.

They don’t need your birth certificate. If they did they would ask for it. Try not to complicate your profile.

However if affidavit and birth certificate would make you sleep at night, please go ahead

BYACHEM:
Thank you for your feedback. It’s not actually for proof of siblings. But for consistency of my profile, should I just get an affidavit, since every other documents carries three names and it’s the only one with two name?

For those asking about passports and uploading stamped pages from old passports etc.
It clearly states that you should upload your CURRENT/VALID passport.
It is okay if you uploaded old passports pages but it is not necessary.
The word "multiple" is for dual citizenship. Not multiple old and new passports.

Please watch this video for more information.

Why do you need a birth certificate? Sibling points? If not, it is not required.

BYACHEM:
Good day house, please I need clarification about by birth certificate:
My birth certificate was issued by the local government which bears two names (surname and first name) while all my certificates carries three names( first name , middle name and surname) . Should I do one and same person affidavit or just do an attestation from national population commission? Thank you.

!!! You were the first person I thought of when I saw this post! I was so hoping you would reply. Now I have something to read on my lunch break lol.

ladymarshall:
Hmm! Your question struck a very very deep nerve in me. Our sweet mothers!!! I was in the same shoes when I relocated to Western Europe. My mum had the same worries because she cares. I was young (still), single without a committed relationship , knew absolutely no one and was according to her, "too ambitious" (we all know the myth that "too ambitious" ladies rarely find husbands, lol). My aunties ridiculed her for that and she almost stopped me. But what's done was done. I moved!

Emaaaaaaa:
Dear House,

Kindly advice me.

How did you prepare?
What materials did you use?
Did you simulate test conditions? (Timing, headphones vs Speaker etc)

You'd have to rewrite it.

Maybe try these and see how you score. Don't give up. Just study.

Stencil:
For Listening use this channel.
For Reading use this channel.
For Writing Task one
For Writing Task two

Please verify the Writing part. Make sure it's general and not academic. I sent these to some people not too long ago and haven't reverified since then.

Yup. You travelled and your passport was stamped.

Odogwucanada:
When filling the travel history section should I include short trips to Nigeria while studying abroad?

Sir TM!
Even with "Lady" in your name you still got called "Bro"
Sir TM wants to make sure that doesn't happen to me LOL
