LOL  Guys I quoted what was on the CRS tool. " Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?" You have PR siblings = Siblings points Spouse PR Siblings = Sibling points If this doesn't apply to you then you won't get points. Oakville19: I suspect the person is referring to his/her siblings spouse having a brother or sister who is a Canadian PR or citizen. If the above is correct then you cannot claim points in this instance. Nmaotito: Thank you. I think if I am reading it correctly, then my sister in law (a PR) can give me points.
Please what documents will be required to show the relationship, apart from the wedding certificate that shows she is married to my brother?
Maybe birth certificate of me and my brother to show we are siblings? Topsmamen: Hmmm. LadyStencil. Actually, an applicant cannot claim points from his/her sibling’s spouse who has a brother or sister living in Canada or is a Canadian PR.
i.e. my brother’s wife (sister-in-law) has a sister in Canada. I cannot claim points from my sister-in-law’s sister. If my wife has a sister who is a PR, then I can claim points from my sister-in-law.
Applicants can claim points from their spouse’s sibling in Canada. I hope I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that ......family is everything  |

The question on the CRS tool is this: Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident? Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:18 years old or older related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption have a parent in common with you or your partner A brother or sister is related to you by:
blood (biological) adoption marriage (step-brother or step-sister)If you answer yes to this, you will get the sibling points. See? There is hope after all!  Nmaotito: Same here o. The score of today removed all calm from my system.
Please who knows if siblings in law that are permanent resident can give one points? |

Job description is what's important. Title doesn't matter much. Jesusbabygirl: I worked in Nigeria for 3 years as a Strategy Analyst and already have the reference letter from my employer. But when I checked the NOC classification, my job description is very similar to Management Analyst (NOC 1122) but my title of Strategy Analyst is not listed anywhere. So, must the job title be one of those listed even though the job description closely matches one of those listed. You know different companies have different job titles for similar roles. Or is it advisable I try to get my employer to change the title to Management Analyst (which they might be unwilling to do)? |

TM gave the best answer to this. Good luck! CheesyTee: Please house, my place of birth on Intl Passport is different from my birth certificate. I do have birth certificate and I understand that should supersede.
And yes, I’ll be required to upload birth certificate under PNP (SINP requires uploading birth certificate).

To correct the mistake on Intl Passport, it will require going to Abuja.

The best way to know where you stand is to calculate your CRS score here. Doyindre: Hello everyone, I’m ready to embark on my immigration journey. So I took IELTS and I got LRWS 7.5,8.0,6.5,7.0. I have my Btech in computer science as my highest qualification right now, but currently doing my MSc program. I clocked 25 May 26, 2019. From what I’ve read here I can use my NYSC worm experience. My spouse has an uncle in Manitoba which gives us a connection to Canada. I feel I’m 0.5 short with my IELTS score but hoping the connection to Manitoba can stand in for this and increase my CRS. Please I want to know if this could help me before applying for my express entry. Thanks |

1. Nope. You've crossed the red sea, don't look back. 2. Volunteers are typically not paid so you might want to shy away from using that word in your reference letter and on your profile. prettyamebo: Good morning. Please I have a few questions to ask. I already have my HND n ND evaluated by WES, but i read somewhere here that some persons were evaluating their WAEC. Do I have to do that? Secondly, i haven't really worked b4 but I've been engaged in a paid volunteer job for 2 years plus now. Can that serve as work experience for me? |

I once spoke to Kubeir of "Ask Kubeir" and he said the title doesn't really matter. Your title can be President of the USA but your job description is what they pay attention to. Is there a way to adjust/reword your title a little bit? since you mentioned an exclusion. Ameeria: Good morning elders, please does it matter if I use a noc with almost all the job description but the title which was stated as an exclusion matched. Eg, JD of 1211 match but they said excluding contact centre supervisor but my title was contact centre supervisor. Will that be a problem even with EOE explaining how titles work in the org? |

Hi! Are you a single applicant? If you have a spouse, points from their IELTS and ECA (evaluation) can help boost your score. Please check your score here. 1. I suggest you start with your evaluation as this typically is a time consuming process. Prepare and write the IELTS as you wait. 2. Nope. One payment should handle everything. 3. This is what I found for PNPMT: Please I need a head start as I just got a grip to start this process. Please can someone respond to these questions:
1. Do I need to do WES and IELTS before starting any of the process?
2. Do I need to pay WES for each of my credential to be evaluated. For instance, I have HND Computer Science, Bsc from a University in UK , PMP and Microsoft Certifications. I am a Software Developer.
3. I am over 40 but if I want to boost my score via pronvincial nomination, what do I have to do? Do I apply to each of the provinces as the first step or after 1 and 2 stated above, I can now commence. Thank you. |
