What is FRQ? Were you able to get the job? What was your experience?

Alphabits, Chinexd22nd did you guys get the QA role?

joesmartie:
How far ? I just did mine at FRQ stage
currently undergoing review.
I applied for L1 Customer Support Agent.

I think it will be fair to let @tubabainc know that SOME people have been denied PR based on this professional degree issue as we recently saw from @BelovedQuerida. Her application has been reopened after the appealed though and we wish her a favourable outcome.

Please @LegalITC let everyone know that WES does not evaluate a law degree as a professional degree and submitting a PR application with WES ECA of a law degree while selecting professional degree can turnout in denial of PR, as was earlier advised.

LegalTC:
Hi,You only need to evaluate your Bachelor of law degree.it will give you equal points of a professional degree while the other combination will be evaluated as 2 degrees thereby giving you a lower score.

Lol. Get a master's degree and evaluate, max out ielts, max out TEF, evaluate your wife's master's, she maxes out ielts, all before you turn 42, then you have a chance if crs scores remain relatively constant. lol again

There are many other immigration paths though. PNP is the most likely of them

ucham:
Hello house I am a 39 year old man with a family of 5 including myself. I have a Bachelors degree, no Masters or PhD. I also do not speak French. I have a thriving business and sufficient work experience.

With this information, I saw that my chances for express entry to Canada are very slim. Except if there's a way, I'm open to suggestions.

I want to know my chances of getting PR through doing a masters program for myself and my family. My wife has a Masters degree by the way.

Please your responses are eagerly anticipated and highly valued. Thanks.

Yes, very easy. As easy as writing IELTS for someone who only speaks Yoruba 'without knowing English'

Mirian91:
Is it easy to write TEF test without knowing French?

10/10 Congrats

Gurus in the house please is it possible that someone’s ielts results (MOD) to be mixed up or exchanged with another person’s.

I’m asking because a friend of mine that scored very high in her first mod ielts (except reading) , retook the test because of the reading , practiced so hard for the whole test, was very very confident after the test that she aced the whole test this time. But when the test results came out yesterday she go 6.5 6 6.5 7 LRWS

Personally I could vouch for her listening because I saw her practices and she would have told me if she was in any doubt of her performance after the test. I personally don’t believe it’s her results whether it is possible or not

Anyone please share your experiences

since she is confident, she should request for remark for all modules

Kekereekun123:
your problem is ignorance and lack of knowledge. Go and do AIPP lets see how it goes first or do Saskatchewan PNP with 61 points. lmao

She can even be ignorant on her own without misleading people. told someone with 7 in listening not to retake IELTS ffs

ifyjip:
this Canadian immigration system has like 4 or more options I dont know why all of you just like the Federal level, there is PNP, OID, SINP, AIPP and the rest I think there is still Expression Of Interest or so. They will give you like 600 point to uplift you. Every body want to do Express Entry only I know 5 people on this thread that got their ITA in a space of 3weeks of entering the pool.

This your yarn is OMSS

please go and do these things then come back and look at this your statement again

Pwinkle1:
Hello, thank you for checking in

I honestly think God heard my cry and knew how much I needed things to turn around.

Over the past two-three weeks, I received an LOI, applied, received nomination... lo and behold I received ITA today - thanks to the dramatic 600 points, CRS was sitting pretty at 1067.

I’m really thankful ! [/b]Itzpearlz[b] you’re a star

Oh, so to answer your question, we are going together lol

I specifically celebrate with you o. congratulations

Reading through from page 1, I can only imagine your dilemmas

glen1:
Am new on this forum and i appreciate so much information shared and have been helpful but l have a question ....am the principal applicant as Master degree holder with 2 wives ...am currently in the pool with one of my wife but can l add my second wife after Invitation to Apply (ITA).. my 5 children and 2 wives all bear my surname and 2 traditional wedding certificates..we have travel to London Dubai, Ireland and USA previously as a family but we all apply independently for visa attaching copy my own passport with visa and travel history to their own visa application..please l need suggest and advice on how best to go about with the application

I honestly found this quite funny because I assumed you will know its status being well travelled. I believe Polygygy should be permissible but under stricter conditions than monogamous marriage contracts. This led me to google it. Read the wiki about polygamy in North America here

In your particular situation, you might need to consult an immigration lawyer if you want to emigrate with both your wives and your children. One wife claiming to be single will be a misrepresentation to IRCC.

As a layman (only lawyers are learned, y'know ) options include

1. 'legally' divorcing the wife with the highest CRS score and ceding custody of her children to her. Then applying as a family with the other wife while she applies as divorced.
2. Staying in Nigeria! instead of getting yourself into potential legal trouble in a foreign country and breaking your children's loving home(s)

AmaSophy:
Hello, I am a newbie to this Canada Express entry. Having used the point calculator, I arrived at 418.

CRA seems to be on the rise and I know 418 just might be low so I need to know how best to augment my point. Here is my profile for your advice

Age: 31
Qualification: Bachelors
Experience: 8 years in administrative full time job
IELTS: yet to write but I aim for 8,7,7,7
No masters degree and no sibling in Canada.


Is this going to be feasible for me? I need help please

You need to be strategic. Get your ECA and IELTS (study to max out at L 8.5 R 8 S 7.5 W 7.5 ) to enter the pool. With max IELTS you will have additional 12 points, that is 430.

In the meantime, do the following simultaneously


1. Try to explore PNP possibilities for your NOC. (600 points = ITA, what are the odds tho)
2. Research BCS and CIMA to get additional certificate. (+ 33 points = 463, not enough alone for now)
3. Learn french and pass TEF up to CLB 7, high B2 . (+ 42 points = 472 points) enough? who knows the future


Combine these to get your goal. it will take dedication, hard work, luck and 101% effort.

Nice post! How is Canada and are you practicing architecture over there? I'd like to discuss more with a senior colleague and a fellow alumni of FUTMinna

Please does anyone have a contact in FUTMinna and/or federal polytecnic Bauchi on this transcript matter

This is not right. That ielts should get him in the pool. check other inputs again

Fabguen:
Needs higher IELTS. Target 8 7 7 7 or higher. 8 in Listening.

Please assist what could be the error. He just want to enter the pool and write Ielts again

Kekereekun123:
kini big deal

aremso:
wetin musa no go see for gate, what is the big deal here ooo pls lets know.

Referring to strangers, colleagues, friends and acquaintances with terms of endearment meant for intimate partners only in English language like 'dear' is wrong socially.

It is unprofessional in a formal setting and it is rude in an informal setting. We have started to normalise these kind of weird things in our home country but as we seek to relocate, we should unlearn these habits that could earn you sexual harassment accusations in Canada.

Please NOTE: The 'dear' in 'Dear sir/sister' used at the beginning of a letter is different from the 'dear' in 'my dear'. Google this for more context.

I apologise if I've not worded the post properly, please forgive me and try to digest the message.

yemblaze:
I know you were also added to @wasseynewest s whatsapp group and learnt some tips from the group.
But then no mention of thanks to him or the other tutors for their selflessness even on d group..#Insidelife
All the best to you.

Little analysis and practice for IELTS writing

There has been 25 express entry draws in 2019 inviting 85,400 potential immigrants (and their families) to apply for permanent residency through the Federal skilled trades-FST and federal skilled worker programs-FSW (how does canadian experience class work?).

FSW accounted for 84,400 invitations in 23 draws ranging from 3900 to 3200 invitations issued in roughly bi-monthly draws. Number of invitations started with 3900 in the first 2 draws then we got 10 draws of 3350 invitations followed by 6 draws of 3600 invitations before returning to 3900 for another two draws. The year ended with 2 draws of 3600 invitations before the last 2 draws of 3200 invitations.

The minimum CRS points for the FSW draws showed a topsy-turvy pattern all through the year. Starting at 449 it dipped to 438 over the next 2 draws before rising haphazardly to a high of 470 for the first half of the year in May. This was followed by gradual drop in minimum CRS points over the next 4 draws to 459, then it continued to rise again haphazardly to a all year high of 475 at the end of october. The remaining 4 draws for the year had minimim points hovering around 470 with the last draw having a 469 as the minimum CRS points to get an Invitation to Apply.

Two FST draws were held duringthe year, the first in May and the second in October with minimum CRS points of 332 and 357 respectively with 500 Invitations issued in each draw.

This year, the IRCC had a target of 81,400 immigrants, if a significant number of those invited to apply are succesful then they might exceed this number after taking their families into account. If this is the case, in the coming year we should not be expecting higher number of invitations or draws as the IRCC has set a target of 85,800 immigrants. There will be more Canadian university graduates, more higher degree holders, better IELTS scores, and more siblings in Canada. It goes without saying that we should make hay while the aun shines.


IELTS writing experts should mark please, even though I didn't intend it as an IELTS task.

It's okay to use mobile scanning apps like CamScanner. If your phone has a high resolution camera, use that. If not, use someone else's. For the latter option, delete your documents after you must have acquired same, to protect your privacy. Don't bother about the watermark at the bottom of the documents. Mine were good for it and I have my PPR, like many others.

Camscanner was outed by Kaspersky a few months ago. I use clear scanner now

Lagoscooldude:
Hello beautiful people,

Happy holidays. Myself and my wife are planning to commence or Canada immigration come 2020 and I would like to know what our chances are like.

Me: 30 years (31st birthday in June 2020), 5 years work experience. M.sc

My wife: 28 (29th birthday in may 2020) 3 years experience as a freelance researcher/writer, completing PhD by July 2020.

Other useful tips will be appreciated as well. Thanks

She will have a higher CRS score by 10 points assuming same IELTS score for both of you as a result of her age.

If you don't have ITA by the time she finishes her PhD, then that's extra 14 points for her, up to 498 assuming max IELTS for both of you. This will cost CAD100 if she has completed WES evaluation for her MSc by then!

Do your research, gather your monies, and your documents and you might be in Canada by January 2021!!!

achmed1:
Trying to decide whether to go for clb 10 and gain 3 extra points to 469...or just wait it out till February ending before spending 75k

I think you should strive to get TEF ready instead, if the 75k will hurt if you don't get that 3 points. French at b2 level is equal 42 CRS points, that is almost sure ITA. TEF B2 is Listening(249-279), Reading(207-232), Writing(310-348), Speaking(310-348

Now, I can't speak B2 french to save my life at the moment but if I were you I'd rather invest that 75k into a french course (online if you don't have time to attend a class, I don't know what options exist sha) than chasing 3 points, if I am cash strapped.

Nevertheless, 3 points could be difference between ITA or no ITA and B2 french from scratch to TEF might take 6 months or more ( a guess), so think of that too in your peculiar situation.

[color=#009999]I would love to hear other opinions though. [/color]

profeddor15:
Good evening house, please I need your encouragement on this issue.
If I'm opportune to get transcript from different institution and want to send it to Wes altogether without sending them differently, will it be acceptable by Wes?.
Thanks for your kind response in anticipation.

On WES site (check FAQ or required documents for Nigeria, not sure) they specified you can send it to them directly if you have it but it must be STAMPED, SEALED AND SIGNED ACROSS THE BACKFLAP BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL. They will still require verification...

They even banned Indians from doing this because they still cheat despite being afforded this privilege.

godG:
And you quoted the whole transcript because of just a line of request? Anyway, check the first page of this thread. Good luck.

And I don't even think dicelson needs waec verification if he has higher degrees

DAramis:
You could upload it on a Dropbox or Google drive and share the link to us.

From a Special Someone, a member of this thread. @dasizzling#Temidayo I say THANK YOU for a first-of-its-kind surprise package. I can't wait to celebrate with you too.

Jealousy is telling me type

You are lucky I don't get jealous

minaty:
Hello Denery, please can you help me with the materials you used in studying for the exam. My email is bola.eniodunmo@gmail.com

Thank you very much

Hello, I can forward the past questions and answers I found on their website to you, if you are interested signify

LadyJasper:
I'm surprised at USA being on the list though, what do they need Canadian PR for?

If it is based on country of residence, USA will be high, because many Indians and Chinese who get PR are schooling or working in the US. But the U.S. is much lower on a list of entrants by country of citizenship.

I was looking at these statistics yesterday

Hello guys, Newbie here. I was up all night reading(skimming and scanning) through from part 1 page 1.

I want to start!!!

antosco:
Pls where was it confirmed that 1.6m is sufficient for RP for this term?

Mistake. I wanted to ask actually. Modified

I have two questions,please.

1. Is it confirmed that a little less than 1.6m is sufficient for RP for this term, autumn 2016?

2. What is the cost(ball park figure) of the insurance which is to be presented and is it a yearly purchase or it just needs to be done once?
