Hello House
I just started this journey and I am getting discouraged already.
Few friends and Family have been saying I would never practice my profession when I get over there.
They said the best I would get are menial jobs.
Some say it takes years to work as an engineer or a medical doctor.They said it’s like going to the university again.
So my fears
This is a skilled entry program
So why would I not continue my profession over there?
Please can anyone shed more lights?
People that live Canada now through this program,how is life for you now?
How has it been in the past years
Thanks .

Depends on your profession.....it could be the harsh reality

uote author=Lucious477 post=64469591]Hello all, I'm sharing this to encourage others.

I started my journey by considering both Canadian and Australian Immigration but made up my mind to drop Australia movement for that of Canada due to the cost involved, also Canada PR process looked more straight forward to me.

ECA
I decided to use WES for my assessment because I'm an Engineering professional and WES is needed in processing future professional engineering qualifications in Canada, as well as sending transcripts to Canadian Universities in the future. Also, I took the pain to assess both my BEng and MSc degrees (both from Nigerian schools) because of the above reasons.
I started processing my WES application in August 15, 2017 and my WES E-copy report got ready in Nov 30, 2017 (timeline 2.5 months). My WES hardcopy report got to my apartment- delivered by NIPOST on January 4, 2018 (used standard delivery, $7). Although, I have never used the hardcopy.

IELTS
Took my exam on October 14, 2017 and passed on first attempt LRWS 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5 (Max point for Express Entry)
-My study tips
I studied for two months (1 month intensive).
I printed the test answer booklets for reading, listening and writing test (got them free online). Reason is because I wanted to simulate typical exam conditions and I also practiced using a stopwatch.
-Listening
I practiced using the Cambridge material from 2016 to the end. A week to my exam, I did two listening test everyday in order to stay sharp. To be honest, I hardly scored 8 during practice and multi choice questions were my weakness so I spent more time at these. During my exam, I followed the audio recording by moving my pencil beneath the sentences on my question sheet in order to constantly stay focused. I ensured I read all instructions carefully.

-Reading
I practiced using all the past questions on General training reading that I could lay my hands on. I ensured I timed myself to finish in 45mins and checked my work with 15mins. I rarely scored 8 during practice. During my exam, I finished under 50mins, checked my work with 10mins(very helpful because I discovered some mistakes, which I corrected).

-Writing
www.ieltsliz.com was a great companion. I adopted all her different essay and letter formats(very helpful). I wrote at least 1 essay per day (most times). I read using a digital dictionary (for looking up words). I practiced with a stopwatch and tried to finished both parts under 50mins so that I could use the 10mins left for checks. During my practice, I knew how many lines I needed to write, to achieve the required minimum number of words (since I used the IELTS answer sheet). During my test, I finished under 45mins and used 15mins for checks.
-Speaking
I practiced using a voice recorder, which made it possible for me to assess myself. Sometimes I practiced in front of my wife (she acted as the examiner). During my test, I had a relaxed conversation with the test official. I tried to expand my speech, such that the examiner always had to stop me.

I noticed that I was more interested in learning/improving my English language skills than just passing the IELTS test. So it turned into a stronger desire for me. I also realised that passing IELTS can only be done by understanding the test (tricks, structure and rules). To understand IELTS one has to learn from tutors such as Liz and then practice what they have learnt.

I spent more time and resources practicing for IELTS because I needed to overcome my weakness. I gave it my time (despite my 9-5 job) and studied as if my life depended on it. I prepared and wrote my test such that my wife (a nursing mother) won't have to write and also save the money.

My CRS is 454 (lost 27 points since I'm married and my spouse didn't write IELTS or did ECA, but it didn't matter)
Created my profile Dec 5, 2017 got ITA Dec 6, 2017.

I'm presently on AOR stage- Jan 12, 2018.
I'll give detailed update on how I packaged my application for submission on a different post.

Special thanks to God for His grace, and everyone who took out time to contribute on this platform.

Godspeed also to all those preparing for IELTS, waiting for ITA or expecting PPR.

It will end in praise!

This is quite encouraging, can't wait to share mine

Chiomajesus77:
Please can someone help clarify my doubts. I have just paid for CGFNS evaluation report and I'm not sure of the secondary school part of sending out transcript. I took my NECO exam as an external candidate and never attended lectures in the school for one day. Please how do i go about it for someone who have done this process ??

Will very much appreciate all contributions

For CES report I did, secondary school transcript was waived

dokxavi:
Please gurus help save a soul.Let's know what we're getting into.

Is RN,RM diploma(Registered nurse,midwife) obtained in Nigeria assessed as 2 degrees by IQAS?

please someone should answer this question. it keeps going unanswered even in previous threads

Must the education one possess match the noc?
E.g. if my highest qualification is a 2 year cert in business administration(obtained in canada) but I am applying under Noc B for a licensed practical nurse.

vickyehi:
Please i need answers.....before I waste more money
1.....has anyone ever gotten a positive assessment with RN/Rm?....without a Bsn certificate.
2.......which company did you use?
3.......if I happen to select a 2yr cert course (biz admin) obtained in canada as my highest qualification, does that count towards my application? Meaning I won't have to evaluate my Rn/Rm but just state them.
All these is knowing I am applying with my nursing experience.
I just paid for WES and I am scared that I may have just flushed my 250 dollars down the toilet. If so I just wanna pick myself up and know what's the next step.

Please someone.. ...anyone ....pls help a sis

Lhimeet:
Good day,please I want to know if Canada visa lottery is out? ...Anyone with any info ? Will duly appreciate...Thank You

Not aware of such a programme oo.. ...

mcstan18:
My hand no dey o. Better to claim points by telling the truth in all things

Don't get me wrong this is totally legal and on CIC website.
- If you are married but your spouse will not be accompanying you to canada, you score more points like a single person.

mcstan18:
That's misrepresentation. Your marriage documents will show that you've been married before you commenced application for PR. Your PR status may be withdrawn and you may also be slammed a lengthy ban.

So, it's not even an option to do that. Wait until you two are ready to make the move. The other option (if it applies) is to file for and get a divorce before applying

Another way you can claim points as a single person is to apply as married and state that your partner isnt accompanying you to canada.

Flaj:
I think IQAS is better for a RN (found out about this from a different forum). Read through the previous parts to find the answers you're looking for

Pls if you have a link to the part or the reason for that conclusion ...pls share with me.... it's after paying for WES I read a post of a lady whose own wasn't comparable. But her own was registered nursing and paediatric nursing.
Pls anyone with any info pls help me biko....before I loose my shit

Good day everyone
Has any RN/RM (diploma)gotten a positive feedback from WES?

IYIMAN:
You're correct. But I still want to know how the US nclex will help, other than that she's now used to the structure and expectations in a CAT exam + knowledge of content.

If at all there will be any help, it will be that she won't have to take nclex again (not so sure on this though).

IYIMAN:
Alright, it's clear now. Just know that Canada and US routes are totally different. Canada is not subject to the US in anyway. So, she can not work with a US licence, in Canada. She needs to go through Canada process separately. Even within US, you may not be able to work in other states , unless you register by endorsement or your state of registration and the state you plan to work are compact states. So you see, US licence is not a federal licence, it is state controlled but federally regulated. Hope this helps. Others can shed more lights.

Her nclex might play a role in canada but the problem with Canada's process is the verification of educational credentials. If she has a diploma RN den forget canada because in canada u must be a BSN holder to get the RN status. Even those who have the BSN Rn, the odds are not in favour of foreign trained nurses here in canada esp if education wasn't in the Philippines or India.....we tend to see more of those BSN scale through. Plus the process is damn expensive.
I would suggest you hook up with these agencies or get a visit visa and go and survey the terrain In US urself.

ken1982:
Please which other countries use NCLEX

There is an flex for canada too....pearson vue is also incharge. However getting att for canada to write nclex don't have good odds.

daffizo12:
My license verification has been sent by nursing council to cgfns since 15th December, up till now I have not gotten an email it has been received, when I tracked it,it has been received.....should I be worried

No don't worry cgfns takes almost a month to acknowledge receipt of document

verachizy:
send ur email and I will send the link u will download the files from it. Note the files are large so have enough MB

.thanks

hi all
please does anyone have MARK KLIMERK'S AUDIO LECTURE FILES?

cowleg:
Dear sister archangel,

Good morning this morning, I have been asking questions on this thread and no body quotes or replies me, may be coz the question is not specifically directed to a particular moniker.

Please my younger sister, though a graduate of dental technology has ambition of studying bsc nursing in Canada. I have searched schools offering nursing in Canada but my concern a friend based in Canada Newfoundland was discouraging her that admission are not easily available for international students and bla bla bla of getting denied. Is such insinuations true? Or better if you are familiar with admission at Canada please kindly recommend an affordable school with good chances of her getting admitted.

Kind regards

ist of all even when people say things are impossible still try it out....it may work for you
now statistically speaking it isnt difficult to get admission for nursing in canada (cheap sch are brandon university, mun,u of m,thompson etc.....also u can easily type "cheapestr sch in canada" into google and u are half there). However statistics donot favour visa approval as much but like i said....still try and your case may be diff as well.

good day my chiefs in the house!
please i want to know if anyone knows any international student in canada who applied for express entry and got pr status before graduation.

I just came here to read up and get inspired more because that is what you guys do for me.
CgFNS has chosen to delay me like crazy and its affecting my morale. They sent another form to my son since begining of June and as an unregisteted mail only God knows how long it would take.
I started the process in October 2016.i want to know what would happen if they havent given me a report by october this year

nairalandnewbie:
hi pls can i get ur mail... that's the city i'm moving to soon and i will also need to locate my lfc family as soon as i land oo. pls end me a pm.
Thanks truly your case is different!

Reporting live from the city of Brandon manitoba Canada



Speaking about a a dream come true.................
I just want to say a very big thank you to my nairaland family for being there for me..
A big kiss goes to @prolificjude*********

ABOUT THE RIDE
it wasn't really so bad ....thou I just took drugs for virtigo (motion sickness......I didn't want to fall hand as the nurse Weymouth I be...lol).
I flew Ethiopian line and their services was pretty cool (na my ist flight sha).
Didn't have any hassle at Lagos international airport...I was all smiles so them nor too worry me (girl power)
At POE....the officer wanted to be used by the devil.....she asked you if came so damn early and said I should give her an explanation (she was so serious looking at me like say she wants drive me go back)....I gave her one and she left to communicate with her colleagues (as the Bini Gerl that I am and the daughter of a prophet; Bishop David oyedepo and prophet chinedu Anthony.....I begin Kabash for my mind) next thing she came back starred at me for a while and then said that I should make sure I am actually studying........so she handed me my permit and I let out a sigh of relief......(nor be small thing ooo)
From there on I had to go locate my connecting flight (tip....if u have a connecting flight try to get ur luggage on time so u don't miss ur flight).


Had a welcoming and homely crowd in Brandon here....they make me feel at home (plus my winners pastor too here at Brandon as LFC just came to the town).

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
for those of us still expecting our TRV just believe cos with God ALL THINGS are possible.....don't just say it ...believe it. A word was spoken into my life by his servant prophet chinedu Anthony(life of freedom int) and I got mine. Now it doesn't matter ur church cos I am a believer of GOD not the name of the church.....just have faith and it would come to pass. Every person I have met here doing the same course as myself had a 1 year TRV but by his word which doesn't return to him Void even after an initial refusal I got 4 years TRV in 12weeks on the dot (btw....that's the time frame I asked God for) . KEEP YOUR FAITH STRONG......I hope I have encouraged someone here today......remain blesses

Canada is indeed a very beautiful place......***wink***

Thesoj,prolificjude....et al.....thanks for ur input

AjaoSandra:
For clarity sakes Pls, The Texas Board of Nursing RN Application form also includes a document for the verification of your licence, which nursing council is suppose to send directly to them and CES which is also a part of their recommendation has licence verification as part of their service too, that's like 2 licence verifications Dunno sha, I intend doing both, that's automatically twice the normal amount, just want to know if am on the right path on this

I don't think so .......The verification of license is already part of your CES report.....my colleague who is processing it didn't say he had to resend another. CES REPORT just implies they have done that too

A3710:
Sent

Thanks love

A3710:
Appreciate sir...

Please send me the soft copy on all the materials I would need to go thru for the nclex exam....my email is vickylass@hotmail.com. ....thanks
Pls any other person with useful materials please send me also.....I'd really appreciate it. .....
Cos am trying to gather moral to take the nclex asap hopefully before sept

samjumbo:
This is outrageous.. Let them say dey don't want us to come plainly nowwww

Don't panic because personally I think this letter was directed specifically for the recepient. What it means is that they do not trust the financial documents submitted by PA and need proof beyond every reasonable doubt that the finances claimed by pa is actually available to him....thus the deadline date....This is a similar document to the letter to defend self for misrepresentation

For those being sponsored by a company......do u use corporate account to pay for FORM A?


Any info is highly appreciated.
