Please read Page One. Express entry isn't just for Nigerians. It's for anyone on planet earth who meets the requirements.

Iamroyalty077:
How can one apply for Canada Express Visa outside Nigeria? can one apply online?

You don't have to write both but it will be an advantage to you CRS points wise if you do.
If you have a good CRS score with just one of them then go ahead and choose which you'd like to write.

foi59:
Hi good people. Please I have few questions to ask as intend to now go on this journey. I'll appreciate your advice
1. I speak French language so for the crs do I have to write ielts and TEF?
2. If I don't have write TEF how would it be known that I speak French (as an advantage in the pool)
3. based on the above information, whigh province would you advice? Ottawa, Quebec or just Alberta. This is important to me cos albeit I'd like a French environment, I'm also concerned about cost of living et al cos I'll be going alone with a child.
Thanks in advance

Unless she worked in Canada and claimed points for the job, please move it to personal history and correct it.

Itzchord:
Please @ all the savvy elders, I have a daunting issue. I am the primary applicant for EE and we just recently got an ITA; however, the problem is that my wife's NOC was mistakenly filled as Admin assistant instead of Admin officer when we entered the pool. Please can I still change it or just go ahead with the assistant thingy?

If her school in Nigeria is this important to her, let her do a soft landing and go back.
Spousal sponsorship is an often laborious process. You won't believe what people have to go through. If you can avoid it then why not?

ambo1:
Thanks guys for your prompt response, may God continue to bless you guys. I have really gained alot from your contributions. Another question is what if after marriage I do not want her to accompany me immediately because she's still in school, do I have to provide POF for 2 people? Secondly can you guys add me to a group for express entry. Thanks and a happy easter to u guys.

This is one of my favorite PPR stories. I love your relationship with God. I could relate to some parts of your story. I bless God for what HE did for you and yours!

HE has brought you thus far, you will definitely excel in Canada!

Check page one, I promise it would help.
What degree do you have? As at now, the degree you have determines what evaluation body is recommended. Let us know so we can guide you better.

lambsbread:
OK, thanks a lot.
How do I begin with the ECA and does it include SSCE results?

If I understand correctly, you are the primary applicant and the only thing stopping you from adding your spouse is IELTS?
So we are looking at studying for a few weeks for IELTS vs Sponsoring your spouse, waiting for a year or so and hoping for the best?

Your spouse would still have to do medicals. You would still have to show POF that includes him/her.

What would be your CRS if your spouse scores a minimum of 6666 on all modules?
Calculate that before you decide.

Good Luck!

NB: I'm an advocate for accompanying spouse if it can be helped. I've seen so many "Spouse not interested" posts, especially about husbands ..lol
Umunwanyi biko use your power. He will see reason sooner or later.

Yhkl:
Hello all,
Please I need a clarification. I have my ielts result and ECA ready, because of my spouse's age and not wanting to sit for Ielts, we have decided that I go ahead with EE with unaccompanied spouse. My question is can I migrate to Canada with our children if I indicate that my spouse is not accompanying me in my application? Thanks

LMAO! Ifeoma you need baptism

Ifeoma77:
We thank you for your sacrifice and wish you more power as you build the country

Don't worry, we'll come back with our $265,000 to rebuild Nigeria.

rentAcock:
Quite sad, so many people are excited to flee their motherland to help grow and build up a white man's land. It's just like what my friend used to say, 'immigration is modern day slavery except this time they do not have to forcibly chain able bodied men to slave ships or rape our women, they just make it easier for your youngest and brightest minds to simply emigrate in droves'. Who will build this country if you all leave, have you ever thought of that? You think once you run to Canada you will still have any reason to return home? How about your kids?

Before anyone says I'm ranting because I was denied Visa or whatever PPR thing you guys relish here like a lottery ticket, I also used to think abroad was the be all end all after graduating from university. I also hustled and eventually left Nigeria. I made $265,000 that year working several overtime hours (I have the W-2 and tax return forms to prove it) but I was never really satisfied because this part of me kept feeling like I betrayed my country.

The UN needs to look into countries like Canada that take advantage of the dire situation in Nigeria and prowl on our brightest and youngest minds for the sole purpose of developing their country and replacing their aging workforce.

It is not misrepresentation. Information in Pre ITA is typically stuff you want to claim points for. For anything you don't claim points for, you put it in Personal history Post ITA.

chrisebsy:
would'nt it be misrepresentation if one clicks no in work experience for spouse pre ITA and then, add the work experience for spouse in personal history post ITA

I'm not sure there is anything else to say. If he did NYSC, and it was done in the past 10 years, then he can claim points for it. This is IRCC's rule.
Good luck to him

FirstTImeUser:
Thanks. I am sure he will get a reference.I wish other seniors could give their opinion

Safely landing in Nigeria? Technically you aren't supposed to send your PR card by mail or have someone bring it to you. If found, it can be confiscated.

etrange:
Good morning.

Logically, each day you spend outside Canada after landing prolongs your citizenship by a day considering the requirements. However, this shouldn't deter you from doing what you think is the right thing for you at the present time.

You should be more concerned about your PR card safely landing in Nigeria after soft landing.

You have to have stayed 2 out of the 5 years to maintain your PR Status. For citizenship, 3 of out 5.

bigwizzy001:
Please I've been meaning to ask. If someone does soft landing and comes back to Nigeria, how long must one stay back here before going back to Canada and won't it slow down one's year of becoming a citizen in the long run?

She can apply and include you as non-accompanying but mind you spousal sponsorship is a long and sometimes complex process.
Your wife would still have to show POF for all three of you.
I don't know your situation but if you can apply together and you do a soft landing and go back to continue whatever you're doing and let them stay, that'd be a much better option.

adeoladele:
I want to confirm if my wife and child can apply first and I letter join them. Please how long does it take for spouse visa?

Your sense humor does lift the spirit

Ifeoma77:
The other one is for your spirit wife report it to technical support

Google the company.
Search results show India. This is a Scam.

Update: Their domain was registered 2019-03-08, one month ago and expires next year.
Company address listed is actually a strip mall (shopping plaza)

EmmaGeneral:
Here are the screenshots

Yup!

majamisile:
Thanks for the clarification boss, so only hours less than 30hours will need to use the formula stated.

LOL Okay now I'm curious! Tell me!

junebaby:
Same here oh...lol

Could post the details about this offer? I saw a similar question on a different forum and it turned out to be a scam going around. I'm not saying yours is but please be very careful.

EmmaGeneral:
Good evening house. I just got a job offer in Nigeria from a company in Canada. My company will be responsible for my travel expenses except that I'll be paying for the Visa. I have registered on the Canada loves you website and I'm about to pay the visa application fee. Please, I need help regarding my application process and the likely interview questions to prepare for. Thanks fam.

I love this PPR rain that is falling! Congratulations!

Am so excited�����. You might be wondering who is this but it's your boy(wasseynewest) pppprrrrrrr......yeeeaaahh

LOOONNNNNGGGGG POST ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

Sent you a PM regarding this.

ladymarshall:
Is there any of you here that moved to Canny from Germany/Denmark (or about to move, having gotten PPR)? Please kindly reply so I can send a pm. I have received conflicting information about the specific PCC required (and the specifics regarding certified translation required), especially Germany because they are not used to dealing with emigration requests for Canada. Also, the official procedure for Danish PCC on CIC website is different from the Danish official website. I am tired of arguing with them and have spent so much for what I think might not be the correct documents.

LOL Dont get her started with her "cockroach brown"

chicyclass:


What is that our asoebi colour again?

IRCC counts 30+ as full time. Anything above that is still seen as "30"/Full time. That is why those who claim part time hours use that formula to calculate what the 30 hour/Full time equivalent would be.

So if you worked 60 hours a week for 12 months. You have One year experience, same as someone who worked 30 hours a week for 12 months.

majamisile:
Boss @Stencil, does this mean that those who claim 40hr/week work hours have more than 1 year work experience even if we have just done 12 months at a particular job? Then I would suggest s/he claims more hours from the recent job experience if she possible. Congratulations to all PPR and ITA clinchers, I hope to catch up to @wesseynewest PPR gist up front :-).

YEEESSSSS!!!!!! Thank you Jesus!

What can I do if my former employer refuse to write reference letter?

Black man can indeed be a wicked animalistic creature

And you wonder why our country is this useless

As your previous experiences total 31 months, you only need 5 months to make 36. You are still good to go. Just input it as is and let the system calculate it.

PM replied.

Teamo2:
Thanks for taking you time to help me calculate. I also got 7months for NOC 4012.

Regarding the “educational” /employment requirement, I saw the screenshot attached on canada,.ca website.

It can be remarked but chances of your score changing is very low. Think of it as Objective vs Subjective.
Objective = Listening and Reading
Subjective = Writing and Speaking

kentoski:
I heard something like Listening and Reading can't be remarked, how true is that?

NOC 2282 - 6 months
NOC 4031 - 12 months
NOC 6621 - 13 months
NOC 4012 -
Sept - Dec 2017 - 2 months full time
Jan - April 2018 - 2.6 months full time
Sept - Dec 2018 - 2 months full time
Jan 2019 - April - 1.3 months full time

You need 36 months to claim 3 years. You have a little above 36 months from my calculations. I did this quickly so please crosscheck.
I did not check the educational requirements for each NOC. Please make sure you do you can claim these experiences.

The formula I used was [No of months x No of hours worked] ÷30 You can use this to calculate yourself.
PS: Divide by 12 to give you number of weeks.

Teamo2:
Paid Industrial training(NOC 2282, 40hrs/wk): 6months, reference letter can easily be gotten.

NYSC(NOC 4031, 40hrs/wk): 11/12months, reference letter not available but plan on writing it myself and notarize it with bank statement to support my claim.

Retail sale supervisor (NOC 6621, 50hrs/wk, paid family business ): 13 months, reference letter available, paid in cash.

Research assistant, (NOC 4012):
September 2017 - December 2017 (20hrs/wk)
January 2018 - April 2018 (20hrs/wk)
September 2018 - December 2018 (20hrs/wk)
January 2019 - current (Spring semester)(10hrs/wk)

I believe i should be able to use all this to claim 3yrs of work experience right?

Congratulations!!

ITA has finally dropped. The feeling is something else. Cant believe my eyes. Glory be to God
