Naijaforeigner:
Hi Stephanie, it’s been months I have checked my nairaland mail.

I will respond this evening, once I am done from work. Cheers.

Thank you so much

@Naijaforeigner, Hi, please if you see this , can you reply to my pms.I would really appreciate it. I am a PR in Canada ,I have some certain questions about Fanshawe college and would appreciate answers.thank you

ultrazone:
@all, Greetings. I discovered that only my first and last names were stated on the ECA report from ICES. Do I need to do a One and Same Person affidavit, as my other documents contain 3 names? Thank you.

No , you don’t have to. I had just my first and last name too and all was okay. My evaluation was with ices too. It is not a problem at all.

Nedu2144:
Good evening, pls help me with these;

I have Nysc exp(1yr) 2016-2017 and currently working smwh(2 yrs n 2 months) Admin related. Does it mean I can use Nysc as primary Noc? Bkos matching the two years with Noc is confusing and I don't want complication.

Is there any implication later, as per being limited to apply jobs as per Nysc(school teacher).

Thank you

Goodevening, you can use anyone of your jobs as your primary Noc. The Nysc is 1 year continuous which is appropriate, your admin job too would be fine as your primary Noc .
I don’t understand what you mean by matching the two years with Noc, if you are trying to claim points for three years work experience, the admin job would be necessary too. Match your job duties with the appropriate Noc for the admin job , you would be fine . (Check NOC 1221 and NOC 1241 )
I don’t think there’s any implication as per getting jobs later .
I hope this was helpful.

Who insulted who..Mtchww.Please face front and be going.Dont derail this thread with nonsense trivialities.

I sometimes check this thread to share my experience based on what I think works..if it's different from yours. Then suit yourself.

Typical aggressive behavior, you want to play the “I have pr ” card but it didn’t work. So you think it’s only people with pr that can answer questions right and nobody should counter them. Next time, take a deep breath before coming out with such angry responses. After all, we are here to learn and help each other.
P.s : I only answer to things that I know, it’s not a competition and I’m not here to win a trophy.
You can keep quarreling with yourself , the fact remains, @claseek is fine with his/her work experience.

bezimo:
I say things from my own perspective and experience there is no point been aggressive about your response.The PR you are hustling for.. I have it already.While your experience might be different from mine..doesnt suggest mine should be negated as the circumstance may be different.

I used 1 year continuous NYSC experience to succeed in the process as my primary Noc, I had initially put another experience in the primary Noc but then ran in to issues.Then I declined my ITA and removed the other experience and put it it in the additional experience part and it worked out fine as I was fortunate to get the ITA again 2 weeks later, which worked out fine.

My brother you are the aggressive one , nobody is quarreling with you. Because you have PR now, you think that’s the end of the world. I am only saying your advice to that person can mar or make them . If your experience is not the situation at hand there’s no point confusing anyone. Please, some of us have this PR and we are not insulting anybody .
Thank God say man no be God, you have PR , you want to bring down the whole nairaland.

bezimo:
Offcourse FSW express entry applications are based on primary Noc.

So you mean to say , the secondary noc doesn’t count ? The moniker is good with his/her work experience and saying he/she should avoid issues and complications doesn’t truly reflect what cic ask for . I had gaps in my work experience and my primary noc was just 1year (continuous) , my other jobs summed up the 3years .
So please @claseek, you are good with your work experience and if you are confused , please reach out to me.

bezimo:
It's not continuous...avoid issues amd complications and only state the continuous period years

@claseek,
You can claim for the 3 years as long as the work experience fall under NOC A,O,B . Your primary NOC must be up to a year though . In your case, your primary noc would be your previous 2years and 3months work experience. The one year work experience would be the secondary noc .
And yes! it would count as 3years in order to boost your crs score.
@bezimo, there is no complication at all..

Beyy:
Thanks for your response and advice Mrsc22. I really appreciate it. The thing is that the money is already in my account and I’m currently not in Nigeria. Ive tried to find out if the gift deed can be made in the absence of the donee or if the donee has to be physically present at the time of the gift deed execution. I’ve not really been able to get any information about that. Please do you know anyone who has done a gift deed successfully for canada express entry in the absence of the donee?

Thanks again.

Hi.. let them do a gift letter instead of a gift deed since you are not around. I had a gift letter cos my mum wasn’t in the country at the time of submission.

DECISION TO MOVE:
My mother was the force behind traveling abroad, she didn’t believe in the Nigerian dream at all. Not that I believed myself but I was not giving abroad so much thoughts . When I finished serving in 2015 , I started to think deeply about the “abroad life”. In 2017 , it looked like everyone I knew was going to the “abroad” . Towards the end of that year , I started to borrow myself sense . My mum was all out ready to support me , I registered for toefl and gre that year and was trying to push for schools in the USA. Early 2018 I had gotten admission but no scholarship or anything , after all my hustle for scholarship. I sha went to the embassy and then boom they brought out that ugly blue paper . Brethren! It was a sad day!! Thank God for the World Cup that year. I almost entered depression. Football saved me..
In October 2018 , my sister called and said “Aunty do you remember ielts i told you about last year, you need to write and pass, in 6 months you would be in Canada, and then gbos! She sent money for the exam . In my mind I was like , how can I just write exam and then be a PR like that, which kain change of plans be this, with all the depression I was facing at the time, I told my mum I wasn’t interested in anything yet , I wanted to focus on Nigeria and Ican (see my life outside ) she advised me and begged me to write , serious encouragement. So I registered for 15th of December ..


IELTS :
Booked my ielts with MOD (as per they were cheaper than BC, local woman just dey calculate anyhow).
The koko for me was that , I was sha writing exams, I didn’t want to fail. Didn’t know anything about the scores I needed or anything . My people, there was no material I didn’t study with. YouTube , Baron , Cambridge . Everything I could lay my hands on.
Exam day came and I saw map questions , I opened my mouth . As expected, I lost concentration and missed some questions, I sha just did guess work and I prayed over my answers .
Writing , reading and speaking was okay to me.
On the 29th , a friend called me and asked if I had seen my result. I was in the salon so local woman decided to get home . At least before I see result make I do fine girl for new year . I rushed home and I checked result. LRSW (8.5, 9, 7, 7.5)I opened my mouth for about 5 seconds and muttered “girl you passed “ . We thank the Lord.
The only thing I knew about the process at this time was , pass ielts and evaluate your degree.
Few days before results came , I had stumbled on the thread and I made it my bible. I read it everyday, at work , at home , anywhere. I read from Part 4 to 6 (I joined in 6). My people that’s how your girl became mini agent o. I had two notes , I was always jotting. (Everything I know about this process , I read on this forum).

ECA

I only knew about WES at some point. A friend told me about ICES and how fast they were blabla . No waec struggle. So I decided to try ICES. My school sent my transcript via email and my report came out in 10weeks! Hallelujah.
I used ilovepdf and I arranged my Eca certificate, ielts result and my bsc cert in a pdf file then I uploaded.

PCC
I knew an inspector at Alagbon . So he came through , paid 3500 and I got my certificate and left .Uploaded the certificate and the fingerprint page in the appropiate placeholder.

MEDICALS
IOM to the rescue in May . I originally booked an appointment for June . My mother called and said “do this thing fast and submit fast fast please. Election is on the way . Naso I call iom change date o! Before this African woman would say “I told you so” . Everything went well. I uploaded the form that was given to us in the placeholder for medicals.

POF
Pof was gift deed from my mother. All of it . She wasn’t in the country so a gift deed wasn’t all that possible . She wrote a gift letter and scanned to me, I added a table of content, bank reference letter , letter of non indebtedness, the gift letter, screenshot of the transfer , one page statement of account (the day the money entered) and a screenshot of exchange rate for that day from xe..com.


CLIENT PLACEHOLDER
I submitted schedule A form upfront (I had visa refusals so I felt the need to )
I had a small Loe (explaining why I didn’t have paystubs for one of my jobs )
And then I added the visa refusal letter in this place holder because I had them.


PROOF OF WORK EXPERIENCE
I had 3 jobs for the 3 years work experience :

First job (NYSC) : (12 months )I got reference letter from the school and that was all I submitted

Second job: (1 year ,6 months) I was paid cash here , except for 2/3 times where they paid into my account . I submitted reference letter, I.d card and employment letter . My ref letter stated that I was paid in cash .

3rd Job: this is my current job , I was 8months into the job at the time, I told my direct boss because I didn’t want to go through HR wahala, got a letter on a plain shit , I notarized it, added employment letter and paystubs. No bank statement.

SIBLING POINTS:
Submitted her PR card and utility bill. That’s all.
Family proof of relationship : added our parents marriage certificate , bio data page of our passport , npc birth certificates for both of us

THE WAIT
I submitted May 30th and then the wait began ....I joined one of the best group ever (shoutout to my April/May Aor group )
My Fellow Canadian’s, everything was going well , mep/bil at the time was between 42/45 days. So when it was approaching “40 days” week , small small tension begin enter . People started saying , this is where they cancel application , kinikan , if there’s any mistake , R10 is not complete and then straight refund . I started double checking everything. The one that now caught me was when someone with same Aor got mep/bil and I didn’t get. I say shuu :oWarris going on. I started purging o . I called my mother and said “mummy pray for me, don’t let them cancel your daughters application, everyone is getting mep/bil “ after two days of worrying and purging . It came ! I rushed down the next day to do biometrics . Then the real wait began ( so biometrics wait was just a tip of the iceberg fa)

End of August , I raised a cse to find out my VO and see how things were , got a reply that it was Ottawa and they were reviewing eligibility. When my application was almost 5months, I raised another cse to know how far. Them talk the same thing . Under review. I was on leave at this time and the wait was unbearable. Every imaginable feeling , I felt it. Tired , happy, sad, hopeful, hopeless. Everything. I just kept praying it would come before my 6th month timeline.
I held on to God my people.
Two weeks to 6months , my mum had just returned from Canada and everyday she was asking me “how far” . The wait had finally gotten to me at this time . I just kept praying. I told her one day “mummy people are seeing ghost update in my group “ she asked what ghost update meant and I explained. She said she didn’t like the name “ghost and changed it to “miracle update . She started praying that I would see my own miracle update and ppr would come .
Lo and behold , 9 days before the 6months timeline at 6:58pm (yes I remember ) I logged into my profile lazily cause about 2/3 people announced they saw gu in my group. That’s how I saw “application/profile updated”. I started shouting “mummy mummy mummy, miracle update o .
People of God , the way we danced ,hugged and celebrated ehn. Even God go look say ordinary update , what if I give this girl Ppr . So God did it, on the 23rd at 4:40am the mail dropped. My joy knew no bounds. I still can’t explain how I feel. I’m super grateful to God.

APPRECIATION
Special shout out to my mum, she was solidly behind me . She made everything easy and she prayed a lot . I love you mama. My sister who paid for all things neccessary and was there for me (love you girl)
To everyone on this thread, everyone who answered my pm's and questions , my Aor groups, to family and friends , my sweet sis that I met on this forum @Hephzibah2018 (thanks for all the encouragement, I will celebrate with you) much love. God bless you guys.

Everyone at one stage or the other , don’t give up. Keep keeping on. It will end in praise!
Finally , to Jehova who made all of this possible, I will forever sing your praises. Thank you Abba Father for your faithfulness to me.

Brethren , it has ended in praise for me!!!! #wemove #dropsmic #canadayahhhh

P.s : this is an epistle, dont quote all my message. thank you guys!

Hephzibah2018:
Hi sis, please I sent you a pm. You've got mail.

Replied sis .

Hephzibah2018:
Thank you so much sis, I'll change the code. The issue is that my reference letter from the school says biology course and lab Instructor, not teacher. Does this work too? Also can I send you a copy of this letter, if you could kindly review it for me. Please and thank you. �

An instructor is also a teacher so I guess that is fine. You can send a copy. I will be glad to review.

Hephzibah2018:
Hi thanks for responding. It is my primary NOC (2121), as I currently work as a microbiologist, and I've been doing so for the past two years. I'm also adding my NYSC work experience as a biology teacher, hence the enquiry on whether or not I should use the same NOC code, since it involves biology. What exact code do I use for the NYSC experience, please? I hope this isn't too confusing.

For the NYSC , you use teacher , secondary teacher NOC since you taught in a school. Check NOC 4031.

Hello guys, pls i was reading a post and i saw the statement below. I was thinking you only have to claim points for experience under one NOC, I have up to 3yrs experience but with different NOC. Pls clarify for better understanding, Thank you

You can claim for the 3 years as long as the work experience fall under NOC A,O,B . Your primary NOC must be up to a year tho . I hope you understand

Magnifico2000:
Good morning all. Please where does the role of a secondary school teacher fall in the NOC. Can a private school teacher all apply for the EE?

Pls I'm not too clear.

NOC 4031, yes a private school teacher can apply

adanac13:
Please ooooo I still need help with this question, The number I have for my previous visa application does not fit the UCI format so I don't know if I should answer YES or NO. Biko time is running out my goal is to make the next draw

Your answer should be YES, you’ve been denied before. You can’t pick No when you know you should have picked yes. Don’t give yourself unnecessary tension. Please check well. UCI number is different from application number.

That means my reference letter will bear 12 months (e.g 24th July, 2018 to 24th July, 2019 though I will likely pass out 4th July, 2019)

I will then use LOE

Use the date on your certificate when you pass out. That covers for the 12months period.
If you want to, you can then add Loe.
