GIC just goes to show that ur living expenses 4 one year is guaranteed but u may still need to show source of income especially if u r self sponsored. there are several hurdles u have to cross in getting ur study permit.one is having enough money and proving this money is available to u 4 use.the GIC and payment of part of ur school fees plus the additional balance u have answers that but u also have to proove that u will leave Canada at the end of ur studies. this can be done by having ties like Family,Social,and Economic ties.U proving where that money is coming from to me increases ur Economic ties.

note ,some have gotten Visa without all this plenty hassle but it's good to put all ur cards on the table

Omiinii:
Are you applying with your whole family?

Tinakem:
If u can open GIC account and put the money there or do fixed deposit it will be better to avoid lump sum as we heard VO are familiar with sales of this and that. More suggestions from our gurus here

Please some please answer me, I just applied for admission to two schools. Hoping to go in may or September 2022. I need guidance about my finances. I have 10k USD in my dorm account. Little funds in my salary account and then I have 30k USD equivalent in naira lump sum gotten from sale of a land to sponsor this trip. How do I prepare my account for application. Is it okay to put the lump sum in my salary account along with an LOE explaining how it was gotten and what it is for ?

Hey Guys, Please I'm thinking of learning a tech skill to boost my Immigration documents. Which one will you recommend for me that is easy to learn within six months.

Thank you.

brogxy:
This question requires a tactical answer.

It can be possible if only you sleep, eat and drink French but anything side this is all lies.

You also need to make your decision fast if learning French is required to gain more points, but make sure you use the right tutor (someone who knows about TEF and has passed). Many tutors only know about DELF/DALF but won't impact the right knowledge you need for TEF.

Guys, can the secondary applicant get points for being bilingual? I mean providing both ielts and the French results? Trying to max out.

Lizme21:
Please, can anyone send me the contact of any immigration person for passport in Enugu. It is urgent please. Thank u.

I understand how you feel.
They lack transparency and Ofcourse being political about it.
It would be easier if they could be honest and say “hey we don’t have the capacity to process all 750k plus PR applications and we will need a year” or “we are suspending FSW for now” that way hopefuls can either plan for a study option or make plans for a different country.

Nonetheless, I am certain we will all get a positive outcome in the end.
We just need to remain calm.

mikeayus:
I dont think they would discontinue FSW, I believe they would make some notable changes to the eligibility factors though....lets keep being Optimistic

MissMa01:
Same and I know it’s not a competition but imagine those with 2018 AORs.
I’d be super depressed -IRCC is messing with mental health

I agree with what others have said, seriously consider going straight for the PMP. You don't have to have a PM title to meet the project management experience. To fulfill this, you need to have performed PM tasks that fall under the process groups (IN, PL, EX, MC & CL) From the bolded part below (how many years of experience do you have doing this?), I'd think you may have the required hours. You can download an application guide online to help you break down your hours or PM me for the one I used

I get your point/angst......but

1. There is such a thing as personal preference....same thing as people buying foreign education instead of schooling in Nigeria. Or buying Calpol for kids instead of Emzor. I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like

2. That personal preference is often decided by the substandard nature of Nigerian products and/or processes e.g. even though I took the vaccine, I cannot say with my full chest that the vaccines were stored optimally as they would have been done abroad not because we are bad and they are good but because we don't have the checks and balances that they have abroad. For example, even if they didn't want to confess to their inefficiencies in approving applications they are bound by their laws to provide that information.....ATIP.

Don't let's talk about timelines and Nigeria....have you not met people who spent 7 years on a 4 year Uni degree, abeg leave matter? If Canadian inefficiency tiya you, withdraw your app and live with the Nigerian one nau.

These and many more are the reasons we are all trying to japa. Nothing wrong with being patriotic o but as we are crying we should still be seeing road. The abroad has it's own issues, it's not utopia but some things are clear done/coordinated better there.

By the way, if you want the full gist on your app, order GCMS notes...https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/643#104080818

Before you edit your profile, pls cross check whatever you want to edit with the eligibility calculator 67/100, so the profile doesn't become ineligible with all these edits.... tiebreak is real....even me I'm getting scared now o......maybe you should wait Sep and Oct out with FSW and see what happens...this 503 cannot waste

Another option depending on what spouse IELTS is...if you have only 1 or 2 years that reduces your CRS by 25 points (depends on how your NOCs are split and if your refs are from different employers, you could decide to get ref letter for only your NYSC year for example, of course you'll still have to list all your other jobs in your personal history) and take off spouse IELTS....see what you get....might get as much as a 45 point reduction (depending on spouse IELTS points)

You can see do the BCS as a back up, details here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/641#104010743

My only worry with this is......would a VO wonder why you didn't claim 3 years when, you could have....but I rationalise it that there are a million reasons why people don't claim all their work experience provided you are not hiding it but showing it under personal history.

No your calculation is correct, you just forgot to minus 5 points for age, I’ll be turning 30 in a few months that will take me from 471 - 466. Which still works for OINP. And like you said it will still give me an advantage for FSW whenever it resumes. I’m just getting stir crazy waiting and waiting and I feel like with this, if I can achieve it in 4 months I can at least be looking at PNP in that time



Moving from BSc to 2 degrees adds 32 CRS points (439 + 32 = 471)....work the CRS calculator again and cross check by calculating it manually as well.....I may be the one reading this all wrong, apologies if that's the case......

Also, CRS 461 - 467 is the OINP French Speakers range from July 21 draw ........ https://www.ontario.ca/page/2021-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-updates

In and of itself, a second degree doesn't harm you though, because with FSW (not PNP) you'll be at 535 (503+32) (with English as 1st language), so your call........... I'm just not 100% sure it'll work for OINP.

Hello house , can anyone tell me more about the BCS Exam, is it something I can self study? Can I learn it in 4months ? I’ve already started an MBA at NOUN while waiting for draws but it will still be a while before I complete. I’m hoping to get a second degree so that I can put french as my first language and still fall within the score range of 458-468 for the French speakers stream. Seeing as FSW just they waste time to do draws. What do you think ?

Easykay2020:
Hi guys, please I need your opinions on this.... i submitted my EE application in November 2020 and been waiting patiently on updates since then, gcms notes indicate my file is in Accra and eligibility hasn’t been passed.... I recently saw this post attached flying about in different groups and I thought to do a quick google search of my name and results came up with two businesses which I registered with cac few years ago. Issue is I never mentioned those businesses in my application as they were just side hustles and I didn’t claim points for them and also one was inactive while the other was just off and on for a while. In my case, My LinkedIn doesn’t show any of the businesses it’s just what’s in my personal history in the application that’s on my LinkedIn but a google search of my name pops up both businesses as a co-director for one and a sole proprietor for the other , do I raise a webform to inform them or do I just leave it ??
