Canada Fam, Incase anyone is interested in learning french, I'm looking for people to form a study group. Hopefully by mid next year we'll be good enough to get some points from it.

deyplay:
very dicey situation. I can't advice she leaves her lucrative job immediately, because you don't immediately start making money massively upon arriving in Canada. Also, it's better you come alone, though the relationship may not remain the same again. But if the love is strong enough that can withstand temptations and distance barriers, come then do spousal visa for her later.

2022Frustrated:
I'm also interested in knowing. It will help me and my spouse make an informed decision. In my own case, I am just about to get married. I was applying alone and I was on 482 until my points dropped to 474 due to age. I convinced my fiancée to write IELTS and evaluate her higher degree and we now both stand on 499 with her as the PA.
However, she just picked up a very wonderful appointment here in Nigeria. Too good to consider letting go. Meanwhile, I am a mid-senior level public servant with a not-so-impressive salary and I am currently pursuing my PhD. I want to go and hustle in Canada for few years while she maintains her job in Nigeria.

That's not entirely true. While most times you don't get rejected because of high blood pressure, there is a chance it could be a cause of denial if there's a more serious underlying condition for which HBP is only a symptom. In cases like this, the person is often referred to a cardiologist for further checks. There are cases of people who have failed their medical tests because they recorded these kinds of HBP cases. Even particularly important is that your medical condition should not put unnecessary pressure of the country's health system. If it is determined that a person's case of HBP could put pressure on the country's medical system, then the person will ultimately fail medical.

Anyone can read more on the post I made on medical inadmissibility.

Profgordons:
Something I’ll like to say is that regardless of the sum involved, you will continue to see growing numbers of people getting involved. The stratification might change but numbers will still go up.

There were many who thought they couldn’t afford it at one time but by starting, they eventually could make it. Talking about those unable to get PR after studies, I would say it is entirely their fault, it is not just to start studying, but what and where are the most cardinal questions.

I advised a 44 year old banker that wants to attain PR through study route to consider IT or health or Learn French, she said her head is full. How then do you want to make it? Also there were many people in Canada who during the pandemic when scores dropped to impossible level that still didn’t make it because they were simply not in the pool.

There are many people in Canada waiting for one route or the other that will grant them PR without writing IELTS. Just find out about many of those people, they are not doing something right.

bekayy:
My heart goes out to everyone currently in this journey. It’s so difficult now. During my time 3/4 yrs ago. POF was 3.5M for one person. At that time, it was difficult as well but now, the difficulty is now 100% more. I don’t even know the advice to give people now.

Please look at every option well and act accordingly. It will end well by the Grace of GOD.

littyprincess:

And the good thing is that I see these French draws lasting for a very very long time.

NuCypher:

The last draw was 505. There couldn't have been more than a few Nigerians in that draw.

XYZo:
Nobody dey even talk about draw here anymore . This thread seems sleepy . Be like everybody don get PR

Hello everyone! I'm facing a situation regarding my previous Canada application, and I could use some guidance. I was recently refused Canada work visa using a specific work history but I have discovered another pathway which requires me stating another work experience which I have but didn't disclose in my initial application. I'm now considering applying again, but I'm unsure how to navigate this situation. I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or experiences you could share to help me proceed effectively. Here are a few specific questions I have:

1. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where they had additional work experience not included in their initial Canada application?

2. What steps should I take to ensure transparency and accuracy when reapplying with this new work experience?

3. Are there any specific guidelines or protocols to follow when presenting this new work experience in my application?

4. How should I address the fact that I didn't disclose this experience in my previous application? What impact could it have on my reapplication?

5. Are there any potential risks or complications that I should be aware of when reapplying with additional work experience?

I value your insights and experiences, and any advice or suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance in navigating this situation.

Dolzz:


Thanks! Should he submit to Lagos VFS or Accra or Nairobi? I heard Lagos VFS takes 6-8 weeks to send back the stamped passport.

What do you mean you have no skills? Do you think your employer paying you 450k salary is a Father Christmas? Your job description in the company is a skill.

Hello all,

Please i have something bothering me about my PR application

I currently have a PR application

I am looking to get married before the end of the year but then i am thinking,
1. Should get my PR, go to canada and come back to marry then wait for another 6months for my partner to get the visa to come join me in canada
Or
2. Should I inform IRCC that i want to get married
2.1 if yes, when should i inform them (Before receiving my Passport request or After ??)
2.2 if i inform them, how soon would i need to get married after informing them?
2.3 what documents would i need to submit to add my partner to the PR application
2.4 How long do you think it would take for IRCC to process our visas?

Realpaulpat:
Hello house. Please I need advice on what to do. I and my wife just recently got married (March). And we plan on applying for the Federal Skilled Worker (Express Entry). So my question is Can she use her current names now to apply (With my Names) despite the fact that her employment letter came in with her Names without mine before marriage... Should we apply with the different names and use our marraige certificate as evidence for we being a couple. Or we should go for a change of name before applying?

NB Her passport still needs Change of name.

Thanks

Ruby99999:
Good morning Everyone,

With the CRS score been quite high of recent, what's the probability of it going to a range 470s or when do you think it may get to that range of 470s.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I want to book a flight ticket to Toronto from Lagos through airfrance. I understand that my stop over will be at either Amsterdam or Paris or both. I want to enquire if I would need a transit visa. I have checked online and I’ve found conflicting information. Pls help thank you

shola0505:
Good evening all,

I need your inputs and advise on below

ME:41yrs I currently possess two Masters one in Nigeria and one in U.K , i previously worked in shipping and logistics firm for 12years.
Wife:32yrs she also holds a BSC , and she has experience in healthcare, she has paid for her WES and she is presently studying for IELTS.

What are our chances for PNP? And who would you advise to be the main applicant?

Olushola.

shaynehuey:


Word of advice, thread carefully cause iRCC has sth called information sharing. This is a check done on an applicant by getting information about the applicant from other partners or countries. therefore, it is highly likely that they would be getting the information from USA and that is an automatic misrepresentation.

You could try stating the previous wedding was a traditional marriage and you just did the legal wedding in your LOE. That might work.

You might also want to hold on with the wedding and finish your process then invite him over. That's safer in your case and now, Canada recently made a policy aimed at speeding up the processing time for spouse. Good luck

Ravissante:
Good day everyone, please i need advice on the issue below:

I have received ITA, passed Medicals and also done biometrics. My fiancee and I have our court wedding scheduled for sometime in June 2023 after which, i am to update/inform IRCC of the change in my marital status and then include him as an accompanying spouse.

The issue now is he had, in 2021 and 2022, applied to US for school and was refused VISA both times. Unfortunately, he had put in the second time(in 2022) that he was married to me and provided my name (i.e First name, second name and his surname) in a bid to show home ties.

I feel this may constitute an issue as i entered the pool in NOV 2022 as a single lady (rightly so as i was and am still unmarried) and this misrepresentation may be known to them when running their background check on previously visa denials.

Can anyone who has been in this situation or has an advice for this help with how this can be handled?

PreanceMapiae:
Hi guys!

A couple of days ago, I mentioned my request for reconsideration was refused because of insufficient funds after an initial refusal due to not submitting documents(which I actually did submit).

I filled a webform to explain that I have sufficient funds based on the present conversion rate.

I was going through the letters sent me again, this time more closely. Then I saw the reconsideration refusal was due to this - "Proof of settlement funds submission is in incomplete" not actually insufficient funds. I have attached a screenshot below.

Then, I went back to the letter requesting for the documents, and read it again. I have also attached a part of it below.

I interpreted it to mean bank statement for the past one month. I thought the last part that mentions 6 months is for some kind of current account or investment account. I operate and have my funds in a regular savings account. So, I submitted bank statement for just a month.

And it seems that's where the "incomplete" stems from.

It should have been 6 months bank statement right?

If anyone has any advice as to what step I may take beyond this point, please I'd really appreciate.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, good day. I filled and submitted my application for the EE and I’ve got a score of 475. Been in the pool since mid April, I wanted to ask if I stand a chance of getting an ITA and how long it will likely take. Thank you.

My mother is furious that I don't want to come over to the UK.
This month my younger sister left for UK and it's remaining me.
Documents and all papers are right and after couple family intervention I decided to go for interview.
I really didn't want to go to Uk
I love my life here in Nigeria tho things are hard.. it's still my home
I feel more connected to my father's land.
Going to abroad is not my plan. My mother thinks I'm possessed by spirit that want me to not succeed.
My uncles have pleaded with me to go and join my mum and sis in UK.

I was given UK visa last year, refused to join my sister that traveled this May

honestly I don't want to move to Uk.
What is your skillset like ? What kind of visa was issued to you ?
I know how hard life can be in 9ja but i still love this country.
Mumsi says she is really dissapoinmented in me for staying back.
Did I do anything wrong?

Even Yorubas were flogged when they went to vote because they "looked like Igbos".

That Lagos that an official led a protest with the slogan "My Lagos, not your Lagos"? The Lagos where a governorship candidate is called "Chinedu" by members of the state executive council.

That Lagos?

What do you know about Rivers State?

I keep saying that any Industrialist can locate his industry in anywhere he feels he can make profit with ease. However our government is not being sincere to the peculiar problems of the Niger Delta.

Have you ever pondered what the North or even the South West would say if a Gold Refinery or base metal refinery is sited in Port Harcourt, Yenegoa, Warri or Benin instead of the North West where these metals are mined.

Bigcoconut:
Hello, guys
I don't want to bore you guys with long epistle. Yes, as the title suggests.

I travelled to Canada through the study route this January but I can tell you for a fact that I'm already bored with this place.

I'm redoing a 2 year program that I have already concluded in Naija but just because I want japa, I redid it. But that's not the issue.

The issue is that I'm working in a company but the department I was posted to was a physical demanding one..

To the extent that if I work for a day, I feel pain all over my body for a week. And this is seriously affecting my education because anytime i go to work, i wouldn't have the energy to do anything again as i would be so weak. but i have to work because i have bills to pay.

Nobody send you for here except you want sleep for cold outside.

Even half of my salary goes in the form of settling bills.

The work makes me depressed. This is not what I bargained for. .

For me to raise money for my tuition fees and travel expenses, at least I wasn't doing bad in Nigeria before i left. In addition, I hardly have time for myself.

My situation is even better, most of people who we came same time haven't found jobs yet.

My thinking is if I should ask for refund of my remaining tuition fee and relocate back Naija, or go back Naija and take some courses online, as there seems to be an option for that.

aestake:

Ok...Africa and Nigeria need to keep their people.
