Check how much you said you have for pof for your family size , do you have your ECA and ielts done?

UdomoLeinad:
Quick question, please.

After filling the eligibility form, I was found eligible to apply for EE. I filled out my profile and submitted only for me to be notified that my profile is ineligible.

What could be the possible problem? Has anyone experienced this in the past?

Blackbuddy:
The husband lands and activates his PR status, the wife can meet him there (airport/land boder) and have hers done the same day thereby changing her status from student visa to PR or she can get it done later. Her activating her PR voids her student status.

1. Yes, you can enter your BSc and indicate that only MSc was assessed. In hierarchy, MSc > BSc and you'll get the point for MSc regardless of whether your BSc was evaluated.

2. Any job experience you are not gonna provide reference for shouldn't go in your work history. Post ITA, you can enter them in personal history.

Hope that answers your question.

UdomoLeinad:
Greetings peeps!

Two things please

1. this question goes to post-ITA applicants who only evaluated their Masters degree
When filling the EE profile, under educational history, I see the I can make entries of both my MSc and BSc, indicating that no ECA was done for the BSc.
I want to know though, is it necessary to enter the BSc? If I do, I hope down the line I won't be required to provide supporting docs asides certificate.

2. I concluded MSc in Dec 2011, worked from Jan 2012 till Sept 2013 on a job I'm not claiming points for. I intend to claim points for the job I began Oct 2013. I don't need to enter any information about the first job under work history since it doesn't count towards anything, or do I? I ask because I want to know whether the almost 2 year gap would be an issue down the line. I read sth on the previous thread about closing gaps for work history so one wouldn't get an ADR, or sth like that, can't recall vividly. so do gaps matter?

Experts and Semi-experts please answer.

Thank you!

Okay thanks....Is there a place to get historical draw dates and numbers?

na wa....the consistent listening... So what did u do differently

Mavor:
I sent an email to NC-NOC-CNP-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca requesting for advise on my NOC classification and apparently that email is not officially used anymore. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

On another note, can anyone who had his or her IELTS on the 14th please comment on their experience. In my own case, I think it went exceptionally well. I blasted the LRW part of it. Sure of the max points there. I have concerns about my S though which I had on the day before. Was a bit nervous in the early stages but picked up as things went on. Can't blame myself though, it's been a while since I last wrote an exam. As such, I was a bit rusty.

Chinlov:
IELTS of today... The listening did me strong thing...after they had stressed us....and it was taken last. I'm not confident of that result anymore.

Blackbuddy:
You can obtain the reference letter in the guise of a visit visa application and have it addressed to the High Commission in Nigeria, it is acceptable and you can butter things up by attaching a letter of explanation that the ref letter was prepared in that way so as not to jeopardise your current employment and working relationship with your company at this time. It is widely understood by IRCC and the VOs that not everybody is able to openly pursue PR applications and receive the assistance of their employers for it.

codeworks:
Pls send me your phone no. I sent you msg

I also had a weakness for maps. In my case, after much practice, i identified the problem to be a lack of familiarity with the descriptive words used to give directions. its not like i never heard them before but i was having about 2 seconds lag in picking them up. what i did was to study them and practice till my brain didnt need to buffer to figure the directions.

it is also important to figure the likely starting point in a map before the speaker starts, also try and relate the various locations to each other.

for lectures, your problem isnt the lecture, it is the question type (Multi choice questions), it is quite difficult processing all that information in the options while keeping up with the speaker. since the answer is always paraphrased, you have to listen to understand rather just lookin out for the right option. it is a herculean task to me and I havent found a panacea yet; sometimes i get lucky to follow up, other times i find myself hanging.

another nightmare for me is "matching" question type, the ones with more options than questions. again my problem is processing all those options at a go, i have tried writing the words i hear then checking for the option that fits much later, but there is hardly enough time to write.

Hopefully, someone would hint us on techniques that works fine for these.

nnekdre:
I would say for section 2 which is map is to practice practice practice. Get use to directions. That is left and right side and North south east West. I suggest you map them out mostly left and right side on your map immediately your starting point is pointed out. Then give your full attention and follow direction. They sometimes have some street names or locations in map to help you navigate your self e.g the store is opposite the library , quickly look for the position of the library then u will know the building opposite it will be the store and that could be the answer.
For the section three i will say underline key points . Try and read each sentence during the short break and underline key points.it will help you know when exactly the speaker is talking about that sentence to enable you know the answer.
Note that the questions don't always come word by word but synonyms so you have to be good in that too.

Hope it helped

Hello house. How is everyone doing. May our dreams come true. Please I need your experienced input on this. My husband and I are planning to apply for FSW but we don't know who the principal applicant should be. We both plan to write IELTS and have our WES evaluation .We both have a B.Sc as our highest qualification, He studied Electrical Engineering and works in that line with over 5 years working experience. I studied Microbiology but work as a customer service rep with 3 years working experience in one of the telecom companies. I'll be 30 next year and my husband will be 37. I'm thinking of applying since I can get more points with my age but I'm worried my NOC will affect our points. His own line of work is in NOC B while my own is not even considered for FSW as I cant find it under NOC A,B or O for FSW. Thank you for your anticipated responses.

Hello all. Good morning. Pls I have submitted all my credentials to wes and my status is now showing evaluation. I have also registered to take ielts exam on the 19th of this month. When I was registering for ielts there was no column for middle name so i used just my first name n last name. Hope no problem. Also my name was wrongly spelt in my international passport. The correct one is Michael not Micheal. How do I go about that. Thanks guys.

Well... it's less than 4 years, so I'll say 2 - 3 years... You should note though that they mean all work experience cumulative. So if you have others besides this company, then it would be 4 -5 years.

For example... Adding NYSC if you haven't, makes it 4 - 5 years.

boldinc:
Do you mean work experience in Canada? If not, 4 to 5 years doesn't matter... 3 years gives you the maximum points for work experience in Nigeria...
