Good afternoon my canadian family,

Please i have some gray areas i need help with:

1. I worked in a place for about 6 months before gling for NYSC. i want to get reference letter from the place without gtn from nysc.
is this possible? and how would i go abt it? Is it possible to to get a reference letter from the place you worked at? We wouldn't know about that. You have to speak to them. Would it be acceptable for your application? Yes, if it falls within an eligible NOC and if it will contribute towards the required work experience need for eligibility

2. does my spouse need to provide statement of acct? If you have the required POF balance in your account you dont need your spouse's acct stmnt. If you are using their balance to supplement the POF requirement then yes you can

3. if i have been rejected visa before, do i need to upload documents showing it? No, no, no.....all you need to do is to answer "Yes" to that question in your application.

thank you.

You definitely should ask for a remark. Something is wrong with IELTS in Nigeria.

MY results:

Reading - 9.0
Listening - 9.0
Writing - 7.5
Speaking - 7.5

I would have contested this result, cos it's just completely way off. Were it not sufficient for CIC, I most definitely would have contested it. I know how well I write. I should have a 9 in that writing. I wrote TOEFL and got 30/30 in writing the two times I wrote it. For speaking, my score should be higher than 7.5. I had a small encounter with the examiner that day, so maybe that affected it. Still, I don't understand why an examiner should mix sentiments with assessment.

I'm completely gutted, I swear. Something is wrong with IELTS in Nigeria. It's either they get the sense everyone is doing this for immigration purposes and so try to frustrate their efforts, or they have examiners who are inadequate in their competence.

Nonsense!

Oneyoungwife:

Lol. It's not like that but have you seen the number of pages on this thread? I just want a smooth job. Pleaseeee someone should help out

Starter Pack for newcomers on thread


Step -1
(a). Evaluate your credentials with WES or IQAS
https://www.nairaland.com/2624318/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/45#41743704

(b). You are in the medical profession and are applying as a pharmacist?
https://www.nairaland.com/2624318/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/124#46005448

(c). You are in the medical profession and are applying as a specialist physician?
https://www.nairaland.com/2624318/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/75#43438726

(d). You are not interested in being evaluated as a specialist (or professional in a licenced profession) and just want WES to evaluate your degree as a normal 4-year study? (applicable to medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, podiatry, optometry, law, chiropractic medicine, or pharmacy)
Revert back to (a)

Step-2
Register for IELTS and try to get CLB-7 and above.
Register here - https://ielts.britishcouncil.org/nigeria

CLB 7 = Speaking - 6, Listening - 6 to 7, Reading - 6, Writing - 6.
However, in order to score more points, you need to aim for CLB-9 and above, i.e. Speaking - 7, Listening - 8, Reading - 7, Writing - 7

Step-3
Do you have work experience of 1 year or more in Nigeria or your resident country? Good. If yes, then you are on your way to qualifying under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program.
Do you have a relation in Canada, related to your by marriage, adoption, blood? Brillant! If yes, more points for you.
But there is the next step!

Step-4
Calculate your CRS score, using your credential evaluation results (known as ECA) and your IELTS score.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
Did you get a score above or in the range of 440-450? Then your chances are quite bright.
Check here to see the scores of previous rounds. Should give you an idea where you fall
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/past-rounds.asp

What's CRS score? Qualifies you for invitation to apply as a federal skilled worker.
However, make sure that you indeed qualify as a federal skilled worker by taking this eligibility test here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

You will be applying for express entry (immigation) under the federal skilled worker program.

Step-5
Create an account and fill up your Express Entry profile. Your profile will consist of all the information above.

Then, you could be on your way to getting ITA.

I promised I’d be back with my experience.

This will be a long read but might be helpful particularly to those yet to take the IELTS. It’s my experience with mistakes I made, pointers here and there.


spelling. One answer was waitress, another length. For the waitress, I wasn’t sure if it had two ts or just one. For the length, I wasn’t sure if it was length or lenght, after I had spelt both and the wrong even looking correct at that point. I tried spelling strength as a pointer, still confused, I wasn’t sure of strength either so I eventually went with lenght. Then there was checklist, here I wasn’t sure if it’s a single word or compound or two words. To play safe, I figured check-list will be best. Naturally, all these spellings wouldn’t be a problem but under exam condition and considering at least 8 is needed in listening, my people, uhm.

length of the monster, I scanned through if I’d see length. Luckily, it was in the passage. I had written the wrong spelling in my listening! Turning back the answer sheet is prohibited but I managed to turn and correct my length.

@ bigfido. Your story is touching, most I have read is 4 times. 6 times without giving up warranting a 7th trial is legendary. With you, perseverance is an understatement. Well done sir.

freeradical:
What a glorious CRS cut off score. I spent close to 6months on 433 with my first EE profile searching for ITA but it wouldn't come

Congratulations to all our new ITA holders, yimiton, dammiehar, XX01, et al. I know you guys expect to get speedy processing of your eAPR to PPR and so I've decided to help you with a few advice from my own experience. My timeline from AOR to PPR is just 46days which is quite impressive and something I'd wish for you guys to replicate. Now my advice to you goes as follows. Brace up its gonna be a long read

1. Getting ITA is a big deal but it's not so much of a big deal if u don't package your application well and it gets rejected. So use only 24 hours to celebrate dis ITA after which you have to settle down, snap out of the euphoria(you are not in Canada yet ) and focus on submitting your eAPR without making any costly error that may mar your chances.

2. Even though we know that ultimately d divine controls the speed of every application yet you must do your utmost best in packaging your application carefully. As much as you can, get the documents in d format specified by CIC. Start now to disturb your bankers for the reference letters and your employers for the work reference letter. From my experience, you save d VO time and make their work easier when you submit documents in the recommended CIC format and they reward that with a fast processing.

3. PCCs are very vital and you should know by now what PCCs you need to provide. To be on the safe side any country you have spent a cumulative period of 3-4 months from when you were born till now just start now to process your PCC from them. VOs r very unforgiving with PCCs and sometimes they interprete the laws around PCCs in ways we can't truly understand. If you are like me that have never enter international flight before (I.e no travel history) then u are safe but for all the ajalas in the house, the chicken has come home to roost

4. Do not be in a hurry to get AOR, thereby rushing to submit. Take your time to ensure that you include every document in your checklist and in the right file format. Always cross check that your uploads are still intact even at the point of submission. It's not really by AOR but by how fast you move from AOR to PPR. Some July AOR peeps are already with PPR while we still got some April AORs languishing in IP1. So don't let the race to get AOR get to you.

5. Avoid ADRs. If it means waiting till the final week of your 90precious days it's safer to wait it out and submit your application with that document you know will be requested. ADRs have a way of unnecessarily delaying the movement of your file. The best time to send CIC documents is before AOR so be proactive enough to prevent anything that will make then ask after. For example if you know you have been refused visa to some country, nothing stops u from filling a schedule A form proactively even before it is asked.

6. Use your LOE very well. The LOE is a powerful weapon that you must use very well to your favour. If you do an unbiased self assessment of your application, you will note the areas where your application appears to be weak. It's almost likely that the VO will come to this same conclusion as you. That's where a good LOE does wonders. You can use your LOE to politely explain and provide further detail to the VO. What u r actually doing is subtly allaying his doubts about this weak part of your application. This helps the guy to make a favorable decision on your case. The trick to writing a good LOE is being honest, polite and MOST IMPORTANTLY attaching a document to buttress your point or as evidence. Also you can write as many LOEs and attached documents to each even though there is one placeholder for LOE. That's where your PDF merger comes in. Merge all the LOEs into one single file and attach.

7. Raising CSEs is a bad, bad thing!Avoid anything that will also make you to start disturbing your application midway after AOR by having to raise a CSE. Examples are getting married, adding a baby etc. Though most times these stuffs are beyond our control but as much as you can try to avoid entering such situations because it will delay your application. If you know you want to marry that man/woman then make the decision and get married already even before you secure ITA. I've seen some people's application getting delayed because they have to include spouse. If you r expecting a baby and your due date is before the 90days post ITA period,its best you wait for the child and include him before AOR. This exactly was my case. I had ITA Apr 12th and my wife's EDD was May 12th. I decided to wait for the baby. I made every arrangements for his passport with the immigration agent( the guy thought I was crazy trying to do passport for a child yet unborn ), but alas baby came early on May 5th. My son got his passport May 12th or so and we got AOR June 19th.
So my point is as much as we can control these events let's try our best.

8. Finally just keep praying as though everything depends on your prayers but not your work and try not to be overly anxious. Who anxiety EPP sef.

I wish you guys a smooth PPR journey from here on.
