Everyone brace up, AVO is about to open the flood gates of PPR and we will be needing 2 new threads for the jubilations to follow. What better way to kick off the holiday season

DrMrsCK:
Finally dived into the pool. I pray ITA falls on me today. While filling out the application, I was asked about my family size but I wasn't asked to fill info about my child, just my spouse. Hope this is normal?

SkyWalk12:

adetola007:

This is exactly the issue I'm facing with WES. it seems WES is bent on frustrating people. The information they put there is only transcript which I sent to them, unfortunately they changed the story when my transcript got to them. See the screenshot. I don't understand what they meant by 'diploma supplement' when in fact I sent my transcript to them TWICE. To think that I could have sent my confirmation of degree conferral at the time but never did because they didn't request for it. SMH for WES. Anyone planning to start evaluation, by all means, avoid WES, their shakara is way too much, they ain't the only evaluation agency. Shioor

Trizadove:
my question goes thus: In 2016 i created an account with WES where i sent my BSC transcript for evaluation. i wanted to use it for admission purpose in the USA.
i still have my document with them but now that i want to use the report for Immigration purpose, i sent mails to them but no response yet.

successhungry:
Hi...I had a closely related issue this time last year. If you can still log into your WES US account-i mean if you can recall either the password or username,send a mail to WES US to transfer your documents to WES CANADA for IMMIGRATION purpose; exercise patience as it may take a while before you get a response.You would be informed when your file has been transferred to WES CANADA from WES US.However,I do not know if you would still need to send your waec result as I did mine last year. DONT BE IN A HURRY;I WAS AND I SPENT ALMOST A YEAR TO COMPLETE WES EVALUATION.

joo2018:
Interesting analysis.

I disagree with the bolded though. The reason September was slow and MEP since then is now average 4wks and not 2wks was the reduction of ITA expiration date from 3 months after ITA to 2 months.

September was the month when both June and July ITAs expired. That's 4 rounds of draws for a total of 15,000 ITAs.

I think CIC is comfortable with 4wks before MEP. If they become dissatisfied with the time-frame, it is easier to increase the submission deadline back to 90 days than to reduce the service delivery standard of 6 months processing for 80% of applications (huge political implications) or to reduce number of ITAs issued (immigration targets will make that difficult).

After all it was just in November 2016 that the deadline was originally raised from 60 days to 90 days.

emeify:
Pls can anyone recommend a good but affordable immigration consultant in Canada?

Zutlin:


I would recommend Mark Holthe - founder Express Entry Law Facebook Group. He's experienced, compassionate and straight-forward. He wouldn't accept payment unless he's confident of a positive outcome - reason why a consultation is the first step.

I have consulted with him twice and his patience gets me all the time (expecially when Internet connection begins to misbehave). After my last consultation with him, due to some issue with my card, I couldn't make payment for over a week but he was so nice and understanding.

raphrulz:
Hi Guys...

I don't know if its just me.... I have noticed that more than 75% of the questions asked in the past 20 pages, if not more, are very basic questions that could have been resolved by going to page 1.

As much as i don't want to sound like a kill-joy, I think the experienced ones should spend more time referring people to page 1. I can bet you that if you answer a question now... be ready to answer it again in the next 3 to 5 pages. Yes!! its that bad now.

Please, and please, let's not make this thread move too fast. As a matter of fact, one thing i'm certain is that... when a person goes back to page one in search of a particular information, there is a 90% probability that the person would find other information that would be useful subsequently in the journey.

Infact, I still go back to page 1, despite having spent quite a while on this thread... and I still get very relvant information... even from as far back as 2016.

Please, let's help ourselves. Like the seniors would say... this is a life-long/ Life-changing decision, which you need tp find out things yourself. Reduce the level of reliance on what people tell you, as they could make mistakes. In no time, you would be a body of knowledge to reckon with on this subject matter.

Thanks.

God bless us! God bless Naija!! God bless Canada, our new home!!

bigfido:

Talking:
Wow!!! What a long read it was (no thanks to peeps asking already answered questions conspicuously labelled on page 1 ) having been away for a brief while.

Congratulations to all PPR grabbers, @tjbrown and especially @sting007. I was seriously praying no one would quote the entire post in order to say 'congratulations.'

Pajapaja:

nomad26:
Thanks Tojued! I had already prepared my estimated timeline for this EE process, I think God is using this to teach me patience lol

nomad26:

Anyway, I got in touch with my contact at the school, turned out that the mumu guy sent my transcript from his own university account (he is a lecturer at the university) instead of going through the appropriate channel (Deputy Registrar). All because he wanted to chop money for little stress.

For apprenticeship, Grand Prairie has been booming for over a year. It wasn't seriously affected by the oil glut. GP is where vacancies have been popping up for oil/trades job in Alberta. Outside Calgary and Brooks, Southern Alberta is more of a cow/agriculture town.

For healthcare jobs, smaller cities would be anything outside Calgary, Edmonton and maybe Red Deer. Lethbridge is starting to get competitive too. I can't really recommend, but what people usually do is to move to big city at first, then apply for jobs in small cities. For example, you could move to Calgary, then a vacancy would become available in Brooks or you could be in Edmonton and a vacancy would become available in White Court or Peace River. Jobs in smaller cities or town would receive less applicant or none at all, compared to big centres where there would be 100's of applicants per vacancy.

salford1:

Health sector is good if you move away from the big cities. Not saying you can't get an health sector job in the big city, you would just need to be ready to face strong competition and slightly lower wage.
