No word from Accra ? My remed is expiring this Jan. Thinking of doing a third medicals and sending to them . But haven't heard anything from them since.

I understand the logic behind doing a remed before you're asked to do so, but ideally you should wait for them to ask for a remed.

Hello gurus in the house,

Please I need your advice. I saw a sponsored ads on Facebook about Canada Jobs. It also captioned that the company will sponsor the visa. I picked the number and chatted on WhatsApp. I was asked to send my CV to their email and after 24hours, I was mailed that my qualifications met their requirements. I was offered job as a Drill Engineer for the Oil and gas company. I was later sent Temporary Residence Visa Form to fill as well as Labour Market Impact Assessment(LMIA) form and Job agreement letter(that have in it that I will be responsible for the biometrics fee while other cost till arrival will be handled by the company). I filled and signed where necessary and returned them with my International passport as requested.

After few days, I was mailed to send the LMIA , Visa Form and my International passport to the lagos embassy of Canada through the email they gave (lagos@vfsglobal.g-c.online, so as to book my biometrics. I did as instructed and after few hours, got a mail from the said lagos embassy mail that my documents have been reviewed and i should proceed to pay for my biometrics through the payment link supplied so I can be given date for the biometrics. The biometrics fee is $116 CAD and processing fee is $91 CAD, bringing total to $207 CAD which amounted to #66,549.89 or pay same into one CEDI SIGNAL ZENITH BANK account and send receipt to them.

I am confused as to being real or not which is the reason I seek your genuine and honest advice.

Thanks.

I hope you submitted photocopies of your passport and not the real passport cos this is clearly a scam...

"because as an engineer you are to work under the supervision of a registered engineer before you get COREN certification."

First, I hope the above is not a major criteria in your decision making process, cos it is not necessarily true.

To get your COREN, you need to have worked for minimum of 4years in your profession, with or without the supervision of a registered Engineer. I already have my COREN and I was never supervised by a registered engineer.

Second, IMO, since you are a fresh graduate money shouldn't be a major factor when deciding between the two jobs (besides the salary difference isn't very much). I will advice you to think longterm. I for one have a positive bias toward IT skills that are in vogue.

Again, since you already know the job description of the first company (willing to offer 100k gross) and you also know the organizational culture as well, why not Find out the job descriptions of the IT firm and their culture, and then decide which is best for you.

Finally, how transferable are the skills you'd acquire from both jobs? Which do you think puts you in a better position for a higher/better opportunity in the future when you want to move to another company?


In summary: Think long term. Don't base your decision of current salary alone.

This wait can be quite depressing. Its now about 2 years post AOR and there's no hope my application will be finalised anytime soon. I already plan to withdraw my application by June 2022 if I don't get any feedback from these people. I need to plan my life. Cant wait in perpetuity for something that may never come.

These people need to realise that the waiting game does a lot of havoc to people. I should have started a project a long time ago, but I keep postponing it on the basis that it will be a waste of funds if I eventually relocate to Canada. I think I will just terminate the process in June next year. Canada is not all there is to life abeg

I am in a similar situation as you. The wait can be very frustrating indeed.

After a while of waiting, I decided to carry on with my life as if IRCC does not exists. I will advise you to do the same. Do not to put your life on hold and do not withdraw your application (IMO it makes no sense withdrawing).

My AOR is Feb 2020. I spent the entire 2020 waiting and hoping. I paused every plan I had hoping I'd get ppr soon. But it never came.

This 2021, I decided to live normally. I pursued all my plans and I have no regrets at all.

I eventually got a remed request on 21st on this month. I'm hoping ppr come soon after.

canadaishome:
Hmmmm

I've been waiting since May 2019!

Got fed up and doing masters now in the UK while still waiting for Canada. The wait is just something else

Wow! This is the oldest I've come across. What's the status of your application at the moment from your last gcms notes (if any)?

JudeAfoo:
You're likely to get another call that you've been disqualified. So you need to pay so so and so

OP If anyone asks you to pay a fee for any reason, know that it's a scam. Don't pay a dime.

I went through their recruitment process some years back. Same email was sent and exam was at same venue as the OP.

You are not to pay for any thing.

The invite is legit. The venue is legit. Pls, prepare well for the tests cos they will not be easy at all. Make sure you answer all the questions and make intelligent guesses on the questions that you have absolutely no idea about. Don't leave any question unanswered.

Best of luck to you...

Jondelng:
Sir, please don't leave without getting a good plan. I am presently in the UK and I am talking from experience.
Your wife can be there and you can visit anytime.

You can take leave and go to find a befitting job, if not stay till you get a befitting job.

Hello bro. I'm about doing the same thing too, but I find your comment interesting cos you're speaking from experience. Pls can you tell a little bit more about your story ?

Andyosifo:
I'm yet to receive the gcms note I applied for in mid August. Is it normal for gcms note to take this long?

I applied for my gcms notes precisely on the 1st of September and up till now nothing. I've even forgotten about it. The delay is crazy.

You love her, but you obviously don't love yourself.

@Pocohantas, All prejudice aside you know that the bolded is true. A case in point is my cousin, i have talked about her once or twice. When she was young and beautiful she used all the guys that came her way to catch trips. Now that is getting less beautiful by the day, she is now serious about getting a man.

One of her old suitors actually came back and confided in me about his intention. I consider him my brother (once our bond of friendship is strong you become my brother).

I reminded of when this girl was beautiful was the prize every one around her wanted, how badly she treated him, so she was so non-chalant, he couldn’t get through to her. She didn’t consider him in her prime, why is he considering her in when he is in his prime; great job, a car, sweet house, everything is going super well for him. I told him point blank that he deserves better. There are more beautiful and sensible babes and my guy-man reasoned with me

Trust me i told my cousin about this event, she cried her eyes out. I could see the anger in her eyes, but she knew the repercussion if she moved mad against me.

You can’t eat your cake and have it.

**************************************

By the way even from my set way back in university, there are girls are not so fine (but they are really smart), they got married almost as soon as they were done with NYSC.

All these girls are still happy married, funny enough is the boss-chick, boss-bit*h that have trouble finding husband, even when they do the marriage doesn’t last up to two years.

God bless you brother. This is just the reality.
You can't eat your cake and have it...

You need to understand intersexual dynamics. ladies (and guys too) have a timeline, but most are oblivious of it until much later in life when it's almost too late.

Ladies are at their peak period when they are between ages 18-24 (for some it extends to 26). At this stage they are approached by all kinds of guys, obviously because they are young and beautiful, but this attention they get makes them to feel like they are on top of the world, like goddesses and gifts to humanity. Among those approaching at this stage are people who genuinely want to settle with them for life, but they are not ready to forgo all the attention they are getting from the other guys. They basically want to explore and date different people.

When they approach ages btw 28-34 they realise that they are no longer as attractive as they used to be and are not getting the attention of guys as before (this is the epiphany stage). Then they become desperate to settle down but most guys/suitors have already gotten married or switched their attention to much younger ladies. So the top guys they were interested in during their peak period are no longer available to them. Most ladies at this stage will still adamantly refuse to lower their standards and settle for someone who isn't (in their minds) "up to their (unrealistic) standards", and they keep aging while waiting for "Mr Perfect."

For guys the story is different. Guys peak around 32-36 years. At this age they have worked very hard and made money, are financially independent and ready to settle. But most of them will settle for ladies who are younger (ladies in their 20s), only a handful will go for ladies in their 30s.

Also, our generation is losing it. Some ladies find it hard to keep a man because they do not know their roles as women. They have consciously or unconsciously become hard-core feminist. Reality is most men don't want to settle with such ladies.

Summary is no lady will truthfully say that guys (well-intentioned guys) never approached them in their twenties (peak period). But they are on top of the world at this stage and belive they have all the time in the world and can attract anyone just because they are young and beautiful.

If you are a lady in your 20s (especially mid 20s) pls while you are getting all the attention from guys try and identify a potential suitor to settle down with. The older you get the more difficult it becomes.

I tire O. How do they expect someone to buy an invisible car??

Put pictures let's see the car

Do you know how to write?? If yes, the quickest way to make money that I can think of right now is to publish books on Amazon. I know a lot of people who are into it and they are making a decent living
