Please does new york state board of nursing require verification with NMCN for licence and att to write NCLEX?

They don’t require NMcN verification but you definitely will need ATT to write Nclex.

Didibibi:
Hello House,
My friend got ITA and submitted her application. about a month later she was rejected on the basis that her police report from another country isn't complete and it didn't pass the completeness check. We are hoping that she doesn't lose the ITA and can write a letter of reconsideration to appeal this decision(and adding the correct police documents as they stated in the rejection letter). Anyone has a format to writing letter of reconsideration? Or any general advise on what can be done to turn this decision in our favour. TIA

Unfortunately no appeal will be honored if she indeed submitted a wrong or incomplete document. She would loose the ITA and need to re enter the pool and wait for another ITA. Reconsideration is only possible if the mistake was on the part of the visa officer.

Ifyike:


The Bolded, pls how does one go about it, the processes involved and can someone get admission for masters straight up with HND?

By getting ECA via Wes and joining the pool. Not seen any HND to masters program in Canada. Ask on the student forum for recent updates.

Lastbornbuns:


If anything, I think his 7.5-year stay in Canada will negatively affect his pr application.

1. He was escorted by 3 officials from Canada to Nigeria after being detained whilst a travel document was being prepared for him. (if that's not deportation then...)
2. The Canadian government paid for, not only his flight ticket, but the tickets of the 3 escorts to get him back to Nigeria.
3. He has a debt to a canadian school
4. He got a 4 year (presumably) Study visa, overstayed for extra and has ~4 years of work experience? This alone will raise a lot of flags. You're not supposed to work more than 20 hours during term time and there aren't enough summers/holidays to accrue that number of years of experience.
5. He doesn't have plans of settling his debt to the school, hence he cannot claim points for Canadian education (that he didn't finish).

Seems like a ban in the making to me but I could be wrong. Definitely won't be a straightforward application.

Well if he wasn’t banned, then they wouldn’t effect a ban now for no reason. However, he would need to do more to prove that he is going to stick to his visa regulations this time around. A PR visa is the best option but he can only use his naija education and experience. He can’t claim points for his partial canadian education even if the outstanding tuition is paid. And yes, excorting him to naija is a removal order. Whether he voluntarily went there and cooperated or not.


He would definitely need to engage with an immigration lawyer for any further application to Canada. So his previous breach can be appealed and proof can be shown that he is rehabilitated now and can support himself. Else any temporary residency application is an automatic refusal based on the history of removal.

DTruth10:


Personally I feel and I know I achieved a lot while there and that experience will always remain with me.

Regarding work experience, I still believe parts of that must be eligible. I guess I'll just ask a consultant directly. Thanks for your feedback.

Definitely. All exposure is good exposure as long as we learn from it. Feel free to book a consultation with an immigration lawyer.

DTruth10:


I was not a full time student during those summers and the jobs I had were in management - That is tier 1, Sir.

Your application profile is as good as you never stepped a foot into Canada. You are NOT CEC category as you did not graduate and neither did you work with a work permit. So you would receive ZERO points for Canadian experience and education.

At least you actually went to school in Nigeria so you can access you nd and HND then use that for express entry.

You having lived in Canada for 7.5 years sadly has no bearing to your PR points. It quite sad that you couldn’t make it work in 7.5 years.

DTruth10:
I believe every situation is unique let me share my unique experience in the hopes that I get feedback and insight from the gurus in the house.

I am a HND holder who went to Canada in 2016 to pursue a degree in politics. The degree took longer because I had a situation called a status restoration that took almost 2 years off. I eventually had the issue restored and did 3 years worth of studies before deciding to make a program switch to psychology, I decided also to take a break from school to properly consider my options.

Around this time I received information from my student advisor about an opportunity that would allow me to transition to a work permit. I decided to take the offer but it would require me to switch to visitor status before applying for the work permit. Unfortunately the visitor visa application was approved but the work permit app was refused.

Around this time too, my passport was about to expire (I held off renewing because I was waiting for the apps). Mind you, I was fully supporting myself since I could not work. I was unable to renew the passport at the high commission in Ottawa because they were experiencing processing issues. My passport expired and IRCC recommended returning back to Nigeria and since I had a family emergency too at that time I accepted.

I was returned to Nigeria subsequently after 7 1/2 years in canada and I came back with 4
years worth of work experience (by my estimation) and 3 years of studies in a Canadian university. I tried the CRS calculator and it registered 538

Please what are my chances applying for PR. Please drop any feedback and suggestions

In my opinion, you do not have 4 years worth of work experience that you can claim because you were not on a work permit.

You can clarify if you applied and worked with a pgwp while in Canada.

aestake:

haha...na to get job offer be the thingy o.

The truth about this route is that many eligible private employers already have family and/or friends they would want to use their “slot” for. Then the HR guys whom their organizations qualify, 90% of them would want a rebate financially for offering you the position. The genuine slots and HR would offer it internally first before it ever comes out to Gen pop.

So it’s going to be one very interesting era. My advice is just to be wise and careful. Take calculated risks only. You can’t get a refund from anyone if you decide to pay for a job offer. So don’t use your life savings for such a gamble.

hotznewz:


Oga let's be calming down. It's not fight lol

Thank you though. I'll take a look

MarksmanD:
Please can anyone help with an answer to this question?

Applied sciences

hotznewz:


I never pay o
It just sounds too good to be true that why I'm here. I even tried starting a thread about it to raise awareness but nairaland deleted the topic.

Do you have an official article that shows the caregiver route has not started?

Also, what work route can someone take? Hopefully nothing too skilled. Na biology I study and I've been teaching for almost 10 years

A whole Canadian minster says it has not started when he announced it and you are still looking for official article

IRCC website is open and free. Go read through it.

Scepterpeter:
Please guys which Port of entry is more better for a PR first time landing between Edmonton or Vancouver?

The port you land as a PR is totally irrelevant to your visa and stay in the country. Land wherever your flight fare is cheapest.

[quote author=BillQ post=130670382][/quote]

So you have tuition 18k+ paid and account shows tuition for 2nd year plus living expenses for first year (approximately 39k), you don’t need to show the 21k for your living expense of the second year. But you would need to show proof of how you can generate that living expense amount in your second year while in Canada.

callJesu:
Good morning friends

I need help in helping my mother in law retrieve her passport from vac. Passport was sent through DHL but didn't process the return envelope, how then would they get the passport back from VFS.

Thanks

Email the VAC to send the tracking information for the passport. Then contact dhl with the tracking info at hand. Or visit the dhl office opposite the vac with the tracking number and insist they give it to you until they find it. They are always very very slow to update the tracking numbers into their systems.

oyetunjibaba:


Which course would you advise i study to qualify for PGWAP. I'm 30years old
HUMAN ANATOMY BSC AND RN

Go and apply to Newyork board of nursing for a license and then write your Nclex. From there, there would be a million and one agencies willing to take you on. Hopefully the retrogression would have improved by then. You can do this alongside your express entry.

oyetunjibaba:


Hmmm... so if I may ask,what the best route?
I'm through with nursing science at nursing school.
I also have my first degree (Bsc Human anatomy)
Abeg advise me

So your best bet is to join the pool and hope Ontario does another healthcare draw soon or the federal does a healthcare targeted draw. Your chances of securing these are great with a minimum of 1 year experience in healthcare

Maria96:
go and get relevant work experience. And pray UK hires Nigeria nurses like they did 2 years ago. For Canada there is no way to get nursing job from Nigeria . You have to find your way to Canada first via express entry or study route.

Not entirely true. Lots of nurses were employed by the AHS (Alberta health service) the only quirk is that you need to have a BSN. There are also agencies recruiting nurses for support worker roles, but they often charge an arm and a foot. Upwards of 6k usd . You can search out “Allison Jones” agency in Canada (this is not a personal endorsement. However a few have successfully used them to get work permits from naija).

Does anyone know how I can get a police report from the Republic of Benin?

IRCC stated no upfront medicals a while back. Has this changed again? Cos my application is asking to upload upfront medicals.

JMG12:
Yes, this implies that the total number of years for your program should be summed up for the tuition fee space, you do the same for living expenses (room, and board).
Example: if your tuition fee is 17k per year; 17k + 17k = 34k, while room and board is 42k. This is the normal way to calculate POF.

Thank you

If tuition is 17k yearly, I believe POF is 17+21k.

Does this new portal suggest 34k+ 42k proof of funds to be shown😳😳😳😳😳😳?

Wanaman:
Hello, I'm moving to Canada in a few weeks, can anyone help with useful tips on how to easily get accomodation, LMIA approved jobs and best place to reside as a new immigant

I advise you to “move” with extreme caution. Don’t forget that the realities of Canada is that the so called lmia jobs are not flowing in abundance. Have a strong plan B. Also move to a very rural area for the best chance at lmia. Atlantic province will be a good place to start your research. Remember your 6mths starts counting when you land. Don’t sell off your Nigerian assets and don’t quit your job in Nigeria.


Best of luck and may the land favor you and yours.

Qwertyuser:


I have submitted my application and to be honest the currency difference is massive.
Current difference for a family of 3 is 3million give/take. From 7million+ to 10.5million +. Haba This is too significant I think.

Gather the money in your account in case they ask for an updated account statement. Most things about immigration are locked in on the date you submit. If an RFE is raised to show a new statement of account, then you can do that.


But for now, open a dorm account and save in USD.

Phemos:


Canada currently permits people with visitor's visa to apply for work permit which means that going to Canada on a visitor's visa with the intention to get work permit and start working is possible and acceptable by Canadian government. Therefore, it is not a bad idea or against Canada public policy for a visitor to have the intention to work in Canada while on a visit visa because Canadian government has confirmed a public policy which empowers visitors to convert to work permit if they wish

If you tell your border officer this, you will be on the next flight back to Nigeria.


The only purpose to be stated is VISIT. Stick with your reason for visiting. Even when you got your visitor visa as a spouse of a PR holder under special policy, you are still expected to state your purpose at the border as just a VIsITOR.

Meaning you should clearly state the date you will return back.


No one will come and look for you on that date. So just state it and keep it moving. Don’t be unfortunate to yourself.

cooooooks:
Are there people in Canada who have applied for visitor visa while waiting for the spousal permanent residence application to be approved?

Yes.

Visitor visa was approved. PA applied under “special instruction/policy “. We included the AOR of the spousal PR application.

I have an issue. So visa was finally approved on the 10th October by Accra. And its expiry date is 16th October ( based on medicals validity).

Counter foil online says expired as at today 16th. Note that the package has still not gotten to the PA.

Has anyone had something similar, how can I deal with this. My person is getting worried. They already sent a web form. New medicals booked for 18th.

Hi guys,

My medicals will expire OCt 16th and counter foil on my tracker shows (issued Oct 10, 2023 to expire OCt 16, 2023). Problem is that the passport is still in Accra and I am unable to make that travel date.

How do I get them to reissue me a new visa. I have medicals scheduled for October 19th, 2023.

If my Manitoba mpnp sponsor is out of a job, does that affect their ability to sign my application as my Manitoba connection?

babaoloola:
Very Urgent Please 🙏

Can the wife of my Cousin be our Manitoba supporter for MPNP application? The husband who is my cousin, is unable to support us, as he's yet to get his PR card for some reasons.

No she can’t. You have to wait for your cousin to meet the requirements before you can be eligible.

Brownmannie:
Any progress on this yet?

Nothing ooo….couldn’t find any info anywhere.

Profgordons:
I think PA was misinformed in all of these, there is no such requirement as buying a ticket. It would not influence the issuance of the visa. All you and PA can do now is to patiently wait.

Thanks
