EXPRESS ENTRY A-Z
👇🏽 👇🏽 👇🏽

To immigrate to Canada, we have many routes to achieve this objective but I will be considering the Federal Skilled Worker route under the Express Entry(EE).

Before embarking on this journey, you must have the 3Ps (Prepare, Patience & Perseverance) and the greatest of all is God’s direction.

Get all your documents and that of your family members ready as EE is truly express (ITA to COPR is within 1-6 months as against the old system under FSW that took several months to be completed).

Step 1-Read the background to Canadian immigration at www.cic.gc.ca

Click English/French whichever is applicable to you. Next click on immigrate.

Step 2-Visit British Council in order to write the English language requirement for the program which is IELTS General training.

This can be done online or visit them at their centre or you write the French Language test (TEF) at Alliance Francais.

Note 1.if you are married, it is strongly encouraged that both spouse should write the language test.

Note 2.The minimum score set by IRCC is Listening 6, Writing 6, Reading 6 & Speaking 6.

But from my personal findings, the target score for the Principal Applicant(PA) should be L8, W7, R7 & S7 but greater score will be more beneficial (L8.5, W7.5, R8 & S7.5). This score is achievable please.

Note 3.You can boost your points if you can write the French language (TEF) if you wish to but it is not compulsory

Note 4.You must prepare well for the language assessment. Don’t stop pushing till you get the desire score

Go to www.ieltsbuddy.com for practice tests

Step 3-You must have your education credential assessed by authorized Canadian body.

Designed organizations for ECAs are CES, ICAS, WES, IQAS, and ICES (For all professions except medicine & Pharmacy).

MCC for Doctors and PEBC for Pharmacists

Note 1.For Education Credential Assessment(ECA),It is encouraged that the Principal Applicant (PA) & Spouse evaluate their educational credentials

Note 2.You must evaluate all your academic credentials but if you're struggling to get all of them sent to the evaluating body, go ahead and evaluate your highest level of education.

Note 3.Do your transcript runs with your Nigerian institutions yourself pls.

Note 4.ECA reports take minimum of 6-8weeks to be delivered to you and could also take several months if you are not proactive.

Steps 1-3 are the directional compass to start your journey. Without these steps you can't start the process.

Step 4.Gather all your docs like IELTS test report, ECA, Job related doc, Proof of funds, Birth Cert etc.

Pojomojo:
Here is the summary of what we're doing here for sake of those just joining the group.

1. Majority of us here are aspiring to get a UK credential called QTS. This credential even though doesn't grant automatic teaching job in the UK, it does increase one's chances to secure one.

2. Except in rare occasions, it is very difficult to see a government approved school in the UK that will grant international applicant a job offer without requirement for QTS. QTS means qualified Teachers Status. This is not to say people don't teach in the UK without the credential but it's almost impossible for an international applicant to secure a teaching job in the UK without it. Even some schools will go to the extent of requesting an SOC together with the QTS.

3. It averagely takes 4 months to get the QTS credential after application and assessment. Afterwards, you start searching for teaching job openings. When successful with a job offer, the employer will then apply for a COS from the UK government on your behalf. It is with this COS that you'll then begin your skilled worker VISA application.

4. Know that no approved school will employ an international applicant from the backdoor in the UK. The employment process is usually strictly monitored and regulated by the government through the DfE. Approved schools with job openings are often required to show evidence of advertised job opening on job boards for a minimum of 21days in order to issue them COS for their applicant. It therefore means that a school must most definitely advertise their vacancies before they can employ you. It is said to be a part of the government requirements for schools with the job opening in order for them to apply for a COS on behalf of applicant.

5. Application for the UK QTS credential begins with visiting the TRA website and filling the application form. You need to primarily be a degree holder to be eligible. You'll equally need to have the transcript of such degree which is most preferable in education. You'll need your TRCN certificate and a PGDE certificate (with transcript) if your degree is outside the faculty of education.

6. Before now (I mean 1st February 2023), Nigerians and a whole lot of third world countries to not have the privilege to apply for the QTS. But from this date, a few lucky countries (including Nigeria) are now eligible to apply (but with a ton of strict requirements). For instance, not all subjects specialisms can apply at this time. Maths, physics, chemistry, biology and science are the few selected subjects specialisms that are being attended by the TRA. Correspondence states that other subjects specialisms will be added in batches - with May 2023 as another likely time to introduce more subjects areas.

7. To confirm if an applicant is fit to take any subject they put in for while applying for the Qualified Teacher Status, the TRA through their team of assessors will scrutinise applicant transcripts to see that they meet up the 50% threshold of the course offered that tallies with the subject they put in for. If you want to teach mathematics for instance, you must have offered 50% of maths courses verifiable in your transcript. Otherwise, your application will be unapologetically declined.

8. After submitting your application on the TRA website, a reference number for your application will be generated for you. This number will be your identity for all matters associating with your application with the TRA and TRCN. In whatever mail you send to the TRA, you're expected to embed your reference number for easy support from the TRA help desk. In all of your QTS application processes, the agency will be the one to message you as it deem fit. You're not expected to mail them your credentials except for enquiries or support purposes.

9. Your application for the UK QTS will not be processed until they receive a letter of professional standing from the TRCN. This means that after you must have submitted your application for QTS, and a reference number generated for your application, you're then to apply for the LoPs from TRCN. The application for the LoPs is the last phase of your QTS application process before TRA assessor will work on your application. It typically takes a month before TRCN forward your letter to TRA's email...and then your 80 working days to earn the QTS begins to count from the moment TRA receives your LoPs.

10. The most interesting part of this QTS journey is the job hunting phase. You'll need a well tailored CV with Coverletter/SOP to beat your competitors for a limited job offer via some authentic UK Job boards.

Goodday, kindly help me with the QTS WhatsApp link. Pls I need a guide as I'm already processing the app.

*INFORMATION ON UK VISA FOR NIGERIAN TEACHERS!*

*UK Acceptance of Nigerian Teachers Via QTS (Qualified Teachers Status) officially starts today- February 1, 2023*

Please take note of this information before you apply:

1. Only University Degree is allowed. NCE, Grade II from Nigeria does not meet the requirements.

6. You will need to upload one of these Proofs of Identity (International Passport, Birth Certificate, National ID)- Marriage Certificate as a supplement document can be uploaded for our females that have changed their names.

7. You will need to provide a Letter of Professional Standing from the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).

Go to Apply for QTS.

NOTE:

*Once you apply for QTS, this does not automatically take you to UK.*

*Once you have gotten your QTS, this will make you to apply for teaching jobs in UK. With your QTS, you have the high chance of being shortlisted for interview once you apply for jobs*
