ITA bagged!

Congratulations! It gets easier from here.

Adunnee:
Nurse Francine and all elders in the house, since I submitted my application, I have been dreaming of Canada.

Biko, is this how it was doing you when you submitted yours?

Ha! You have even submitted your application? I'm still waiting on IELTS to come through, yet I've been checking apartments in Alberta. The dream is valid! Very valid.

Ifeoma77:

Goodness Gracious

I'm laughing and crying at the same time!

ladymarshall:
First of all, congratulations! It has ended in praise!!!!

Bhet why??

So you haven't been active? That is minus 3

But despite your inactivity, you still sneak in and read through the long long essays, scripts, answers, comments, links, very good, you get 1 mark for your silent participation.

Now even after benefiting from all the information, you then decided to give back with a script of just 3 lines without timelines Why That is minus 16

But thank you for your prayers, for that you get 2 marks.

As an example to others who might contemplate submitting this type of script, I take the two marks back and minus 1 from it

Total: -19/10

Congrats again and all the best in Canada.

LMAO! I'm really laughing here like an overfed hyena. Jesus Christ!!!

Suspectzero:
Trust me, Jesus isn't up there trying to get Nigerians into Canada. It's a simple process. You met the requirements, followed the procedure and got the P.R. Nothing spiritual about it.

They have come again.

kingspaco:

Sis! idioke o
I hope gathering documents is going on fine

God go do am! You know as Uyo be.

kingspaco:

You dont have to add letter of attestation to WES, just statement of result is enough.

Brother mi! Abadie?

Selzsky:
Awwww, now you’re gonna make me cry...thanks Sis. May God bless you too and hear your prayers as you process yours.

Haha. Amen. Thank you sis.

Selzsky:

A very Loooong Post Alert!!!!! It’s not a “cherekambia” kind of read. It’s a settle down, AC/fan on, leg on da stool, wine in the glass by the side- kind of read.

Lol. I read every word, beginning to end. You sound like an amazing person, an open book & a kind hearted human. May God bless you & may the land yield its best for you. Congratulations.

Tosaned:
Gather around my people.... It's COPR!!!!!!!

Wow! What a read. All the best to you and yours in Canada.

Congratulations! The process will be smooth.

yinka78:
Please o elders
Can I apply with my younger brother who is 25years old? He just finished nysc

I'm married with 2 kids.

Can he be the 5th person?

Thanks

I'm afraid you can't. He is above the stipulated age which is 18. However, he can apply for himself if he has at least 1 year experience.
Elders, I hope I'm correct.

Adunnee:
So, today is Ifeoma77's birthday!

Happy Birthday dearest Ifeoma. May your life be beautiful and joyful. May your joy know no bounds. May you live a fulfilling life worthy of emulation. May your life be blessed and blissful.

Have a joyous birthday celebration.

I missed this! I trust you had a great day @ifeoma77. Have a great year. God bless you!

ottawasenators:
PPR mail received today, will be back with full details.

Congratulations!!!

Ifeoma77:

This e-fam member adopted her niece too.
https://www.nairaland.com/4657743/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/128#70397294
It is definitely possible and it won't affect your application. Start the process immediately.
You can pm her for more guidance

Topsmamen:


Yes, it's possible. The person here adopted her 15-year old niece and included her niece in her application. Also take a look at these FAQs.

Thank you both very much! God bless.

Good morning everyone. May this week bring a harvest of good news to all of us. @ifeoma @topsmamen @joo2018 & everyone else, please, I need information on adoption. I have a 13 year old cousin whose mum passed & whose dad isn't exactly available. She currently lives with an aunt of ours & I wouldn't mind adopting her.
1) would it be possible?
2) what are the legal implications, if any?
3) would this affect our application or cause extra scrutiny?
4)when can I commence the adoption process?
I'm pre-ITA.
5)what other options do I have?
I'd deeply appreciate your responses. Thank you

Ifeoma77:


Eyeah sorry. _{<swallows another ball>}
I sympathize _{<licks five fingers one by one>}
Why don't you try cooking _{<takes a long drink of ice water>}
Or try Jumia food . <sub><belches>

Hi there,
So the anti climax of this long almost two years ordeal is ending with a refusal due to incorrect NOC code. I applied with NOC code 0213 - Computer and Information System Manager.

This is what I should have done two years back, but I honestly thought I was on the right course. I am sharing so that it serves as a lesson to others getting into the process. Seek all the advice and counsel you can especially wherever you have doubts, even if it make you look or sound like a slowpoke.

In 2017, I spent more than a month confused about the actual NOC code for me. A first search on google for NOC code for cybercafe manager will pop out 0631 -Restaurant and Food service Managers. This is totally not what we are as cybercafe operators in general. so I spent quite a reasonable amount of time on the net and settled for NOC 0213 which had Computer and other related service manager as a sub in the title group. This seems more appropriate to me for my job title.

With description help from wonderful friends, the following are a basic summary of what I do:

Own and run a cybercafe
offer general computer services such as printing, scanning, typesetting
some software installation
sales of computers and its accessories etc
give basic computer lessons to customers/clients
have 2 employees
also offer computer related services to clients as per contracts to set up their cafe, computer units/rooms and logistics.


Over the years as owner and manager of the cybercafé the following are specific responsibilities and duties performed:

• Develop action plans and procedures for my team performance to meet operational goals and organizational objectives.

• Develop strategic and operational plans for managing, execution and measuring results of the cyber centre.

• Perform research on new business ventures and proactively identifies risks and opportunities for improvement of the business.

• Determine the budget and periodic expenditures of the business centre.

• Occasionally conduct meetings with clients to discuss system specs, performance, needs, costs and timelines.

• Execute contract jobs that involve procurement and supply of stationeries, computers and its peripherals

• Manage project teams of variable skill sets and size dependant on project scope.

• Hire, train and guide store employees in delivering excellent customer service.

• Assign rules and responsibilities to employees for operational effectiveness.

• Monitor and manage store staff/personnel by regularly communicating and conducting performance assessments, providing feedback, and setting challenging goals to improve operational performance.

• Ensure that the office and environment is maintained according to proper sanitation and cleaning standards thereby making it safe and inviting for customers.

• Assist customers when they have trouble or questions using computer systems and application software

• Perform software installations, system maintenance, backups and networking, troubleshooting on office and clients computers.

• Provide services such as printing, scanning, internet, online registrations, downloading and other computer related operations.

• Ensure that machineries, computers and other equipments are in good working condition.

• Keep accurate records of system performance, logs and inventories of the business centre

• Set Administrative rights on computer systems, program tickets and number of minutes or hours customers use the computer or internet on networked computers.

• Banking and maintaining accounting databases by entering data using computer application software

• Preparing lesson notes for students, training and teaching student/clients on the use of computers and its applications.

• Ensure excellent customer care.


Went to interview in Accra and was told that I choose the wrong NOC.

So I want you guys to help me find the right NOC for someone that own and operate a cybercafe. Its quite heavy on me, I must confess, but I am taking it in like a man. Just incase I can reapply please someone should help me with the right NOC for a Cybercafe Manager/Owner.

5, 6, 7 or more heads are better than 1 or 2.

This is not the testimony I was hoping to drop after a year and 6 months wait, but a lesson for one is a lesson for many. Never too late to do the right thing.

special thanks to Zutlin, Abubuyaya. You guys give me the courage to do this.

Ouch! So sorry. I'm sure someone will help. You can also tweet at them. You will be fine. Sorry.

iaatmguy:
it's ITA


better late than never

Congratulations! I wish you speed.

Itzchord:
ITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One step in.

Congratulations!
