Good morning, I'm over 35, how do I successful apply to migrate to Canada using provincial nominee program. Your response will help me in long way to make a decision on the way to go. Thanks

Drop me an email.

oga Canada is a lovely, place I agree. However Canada is not heaven. I advise people that if not for our stupid Nigerians leaders are. I have nothing, I am doing in Canada. It ain't heaven. People who become rich in Nigeria, and I mean very rich. The dangote's or otedola did not start leaving in Canada. I also do not support people coming to Canada illegally. But if it suits them due to the hardship experienced back home, well what can I say. I am a Nigerian first and a Nigerian would I be irrespective. I see people saying that Nigeria is the world poverty capital. But I ask myself half of the Canadian population is in one debt or the other. What then is poverty. They say health is free. Hmmm yes but someone is paying for the free health. And now the queue for seeing a specialist is growing at an alarming rate in Canada. In some cases it's when you are at the point of death they may choose to answer you. I do not what to sound pessimistic or disgusting. But this are my findings about Canada so Canada again is not heaven.

Personally, I would like to tell you my story

Wow, thank you for information. Frankly speaking, immigration to Canada turned out to be a real trial or even kind of challenge, because it was so difficult... By the way, thank heaven, my friend that moved to Canada helped me a lot, at least when he sent me the article about Immigration to Canada that helped him one time to immigrate to Canada. To be honest, I even was forced to turn to the ItsCandaTime agency, that was mentioned in the article, in the hope that they will simplify my immigration to Canada as I wasn't able to embody some issues that were listed in the article. Seriously, I didn't even think that immigration to Canada will be so difficult, but still everything was successful, so now I live in Canada

Thanks for sharing your experience in your immigration to ��

Very nice info

emeviks:
I want to get permanent residence in Canada. Is it a long process? What are the options available?

If you check your points - for experience, education, spouse and English (IELTS) - on the CIC portal - http://www.cic.gc.ca (I posted the link on my previous post) , and are above 450points then you have a fair chance of receiving your PR within 6–8 months.

A colleague of mine migrated from Nigeria early last year on a PR with his wife. They applied for the PR in November and received confirmation of PR in exactly 6 months 5 days.

He described the process in 7 steps:


1. You submit the intent to apply with some basic paperwork

2. You receive the ITA i.e. the Invitation to Apply

3. After some intensive paperwork, you apply for the PR.

4.You either receive a provincial nomination from either of the 3 you chose in your application initially or you receive an umbrella PR and you can then choose which one you wish to take.

5.Next step will be showing funds to sustain for you + spouse (if any) for a year which is around 18,000 CAD

6. Now we wait for the magical email that says ‘request for passport’

7.After which it takes about 2 weeks to receive your passports stamped with a one time entry visa within 4 months - which is when you must land and declare yourself a landed immigrant.

8. Come to Canada and fall in love.
Hope this helps!

for reference purpoae.

[/b]Which is the best way to immigrate to Canada?[b]



Welcome to Canada!

P.S. There is no “best way”, only a correct way and it is NOT FAST or simple.

Thanks, what about Canadim?

get 2 more years experience plus a masters. You would stand a good chance for express entry

pls I seriously need childcare provider or home support worker job in Canada can you help out

Is CRH Canada a true company in Ontario??

Would the masters be from a Nigerian University? Like how do people fund their masters program in Canada? the tuition costs I see are pretty expensive.
In addition to increasing my chance for express entry, would I get real opportunities at a Job there?

Also, Please what is express entry? (My understanding from the term is heavily transluscent)

https://www.nairaland.com/5471101/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled read. tuition is expensive in developed countries either you save for it or your parents pay noni. after getting express entry visa and land in Canada your fees will be same as citizens, you can access loans and grants for studies.

.. know my shit! In fact my name could never tell that I am black, African. I get the interviews but once they are my black face, all else changed...

How won't they know? Most of them will already check you out on LinkedIn before inviting you over

emeviks:
Don't come to Canada with super high expectations or you will be disappointed quickly. If you have a great job with good benefits where you are, pls. stay there. A lot of high skilled immigrants I've met as an employment counsellor who helps to find jobs in Canada are demoralized as they can not find equal level jobs they left back home. Know this, your skills are not considered comparable. Period. You will start from the BOTTOM! Discrimination exist covertly. Your accent, communication skills,your ability to convey knowledge/ experience in the Canadian context might differ from what You are accustomed to. You will have to be on top of your game. It might be about who you Know. Networking is sometimes key. Know your job description well. Interviews are not about knowing your skills. It's also about that and more. Chance are you don't don't have appropriate answers. What they need, want to hear. Chances are you did not know what they want because you did not read, research and learn about the company and industry and job duties, you did not research the Canadian context of the job. It's cumbersome if not prepared. Another idea per my experience, remove countries you've gained experience or worked in from resume to gain attention clear and void of what's deemed foreign experience, not canadian experience. I came here in 2007. I speak well. Even with a good amount of good American accent in Canada, unless nervous then it shows. I know my shit! In fact my name could never tell that I am black, African. I get the interviews but once they are my black face, all else changed. So beware folks! Unless your life is threatened in your country. If you have respect in your profession and a good job where you are, stay put. North America, Canada is no joke for those educated people, secure in your knowledge, you will have to start from the begining even with Phds. Medical doctors. Master's from abroad… think carefully before you come! Consult an employment counsellor and even they can not predict your future. I have been there. Just saying!

I sent you a dm

From what I have discussed with people, top on the reasons for migrating is to secure a better future for their kids. Second on the reason is for security. Job is even on the last as some of the immigrants seems to be doing well prior to going. I am not an abroad kind of person as I believe that my success is going to be made in Nigeria.

What I did was to ensure that I gave birth to my kids in Canada as all are citizens. But for now, all of us will continue to live in Nigeria. I also want them to know their culture, their root, language and the harshness of the Nigerian environment. I love the freedom I enjoy in my work, the big man that comes with living in Nigeria, the family and friends, the somehow chaotic Nigerian situation

I hate boredom and I fear that Canada may be too boring for me just like UK. I lived in the UK for three years but never enjoyed myself. Was totally homesick most of the times and felt coming back but decent job wasn't coming at that moment. Luckily, a Nigerian company came over to UK and conducted interview for us and voom, I boarded my flight home and since then, even though it has been difficult, especially this year, I still believe in the future here.

My only fear is the insecurity in Nigeria.

My people, I like my lifestyle here and the ability to do things they way I want.

I have read through all the posts and comments and I must appreciate everyone for the genuine advice. But all the same, I think this journey of Canada Migration requires adequate preparation both academically and financially....

Someone asked me this question this morning:

When is the right time to immigrate to Canada?

The short answer is, immigrate now if you’re younger than 30 years old. The immigration system in Canada is based on points, and you’re penalized for being over 30 years old (subtract 5 points for each year after 29). There are some ways around this though. See below.

Other than that, there are a number of factors to consider.

Have you just finished undergrad (younger than 30) and want to pursue higher education? Go to Canada instead of going to the USA! The US immigration system will stress you out for decades before you might manage to somehow get a green card. By the time you get a green card, you’ll be saddled with debt, child-care, healthcare costs etc. Forget about becoming an entrepreneur or changing careers at any point in the US. You’re stuck to jobs which are related to your degree because your visa and green card application are based on your field of education.
If you have decided to go to Canada for your master’s (younger than 30), make sure you work in the field of your undergrad degree for 12 months before you start your master’s. That will push your points really high because Canada wants people who have both Canadian as well as international experience. You’ll be able to get your Permanent Residence within a few months of completing your master’s degree if you do this. If you don’t, you’ll have to wait till you have 12 months of Canadian experience in the field of your undergrad or your master’s before you can apply. You should have your PR within 18 months of graduation either way (approval or rejection happens within 180 days of submission of application).
If you’ve already completed your Master’s/PhD in another country and have 1–3 years experience in the field of one of your degrees, set up your profile and apply now.
If you’re older than 30, you could still get through the PR process if you have a master’s/PhD and 1–3 years of experience in the same field as one of your degrees. However, if you’re way older than 30 (39+), you’re better off applying for a Provincial Nomination before you apply for Permanent Residence. One of Canada’s 10 Provinces or 3 Territories should nominate you and say they would like to have you move to their province as an immigrant, based on your education and/or work experience. This will give you 600 points on your PR profile and you’re sure to get through. However, it takes about 12 months (depending on the province) to get a Provincial Nomination, and you’ll be obliged to stay in that province for a few years, or your PR renewal application or citizenship application can get denied. Exceptions can be made for people who can prove that they tried hard to get a job in that province but were not able to.
Are you a medical doctor, a pharmacist, or a lawyer? You’ll have to meet certain qualification criteria before you become eligible to practice in your field in Canada (depending on the province). Find out what courses or exams you will be required to study, and how long it will take to do so. For some specialized medical doctors, this could take close to a decade.
Canada is one of the easiest countries to immigrate to if you’re young, fluent in French/English, have a degree, and at least 1 year of work experience. The right time to immigrate is now.

Is possible to get a sponsor that will later be paid double. I want to get one for my fiancee. She is young and brilliant.

Important Note:

- Different provinces in Canada have their own mandatory qualification, regulations & requirements that must be met before one can work as a nurse in Canada.

- Nursing falls under the 3012 NOC Code & Classified as a Skilled Level A.

- You may apply for a license in any province of your choice to be a:

**Registered Nurse (RN)
**A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
**Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN)


STEP 1:

Get Your Credentials Accessed by National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS)

-This is simply converting your qualifications into a North American standard.

NNAS will:

-Verify your credentials.
-Compare & evaluate credentials to Canadian standards.
-Store credentials.
Who is eligible for NNAS evaluation?

- You graduated from a college or university nursing program outside Canada.

- Have never worked as a Nurse in Canada.

- Want to work as RN, LPN, or RPN in Canada.

STEP 2:

NNAS Application.

Proof of Identification can include:

-International Passport
-Driver’s License
-Birth Certificate
-Legal change name Affidavit
-Marriage certificate

(a.) Create NNAS Application here: my.nnas.ca/nnasweb/loginR…

(b.) Submit two Proof of Identity documents to NNAS.

Documents must be notarized by a govt-approved official, signed with a seal, and certified that they are true copies.

(c.) Submit a Nursing Education Form.

The form can be accessed once you’ve registered online on the NNAS website. The form must be sent directly by your school to NNAS either by mail or courier.

**Do not send your form to NNAS. The school must send it.

(d.) Submit a Nursing Registration Form.

The form can be downloaded and printed from NNAS online account and must be sent by the nursing licensing authorities where you were ever licensed or registered outside of Canada.

(e.) Submit Your Nursing Practice Employment Form (Form must be completed and sent directly by your employer by mail or courier to NNAS).

(f.) Submit your IELTS Language Testing results. However, if your first language is English/French get an exemption letter from your school.

(g.) Once all documents have been received by NNAS, submit your application and choose what province and nursing group you are applying to.

The NNAS Main application fee is $650 USD.

(h.) NNAS will send an advisory report to the provincial regulatory body you initially selected upon registration.

*For complete NNAS application handbook: nnas.ca/wp-content/upl…

Once the regulatory body receives a report from NNAS, they will request you start the process.

You’re doing a great job sir! Your thread is simplifying the jargons associated with immigration to Canada. I understand more about it now. Hope to move once I’m done with school and NYSC here

Thank you sir...

emeviks:
To be continued..

pls sir is it possible for my husband to proceed to Canada after we have gotten our pr while I stay back in Nigeria with children so as to allow him settle down before we join him

Pls... I'm thinking of relocating to Canada as a permanent residence with my wife, a 4years old son and a baby girl that is less than 6month old. I have masters degree in physics, my wife is a civil servant in Lagos state. no corporate work history apart from a part time job with my uncle and business to support on the side. I was just freestyling with the assessment on canadim.com and I got a mail from them that i am eligible to apply because i have a Comprehensive system Ranking (CRS) score of 465 which means as at 2019, I would have gotten the Invitation to apply(ITA) considering the fact that their base score is 462. They claim to have made some changes to their CRS over the years.

What is your advice?
What are the opportunities for me and my family?
What are the chances of getting a good job because with two kids bills are enormous and the only reason i am giving this a thought is for them to have a better life?
Accomodation?
How long can i survive without a job when i get there with my family?

Looking forward to reading from you guys....
Thanks

Hello emeviks, I studied chemical engineering at undergrad but due to lack of jobs in the sector I moved to I.T and I have over 1 year of experience. Is this going to affect my chances of moving to Canada?
