If you don't get anyone here, you could use Money Tangle or First Transfer. They still do transfer to Nigeria.

I am in need of naira. I can't send money to Nigeria due to CBN placing a hold on money transfer to Nigeria.
Any one trying to apply for admission into Conestoga college can contact me. While I pay for the application fee in CAD the person will help me pay the naira eqivalent into my Nigeria account.

Hmmm...you wanna come as a Visitor then change to being a student. I don't think that works for a visitor anymore because as a Visitor in Canada, you would have to go back to Nigeria to apply for Study permit.

If you have US visa, you could go there to apply for the study permit though.

If that is your intention ma!

It is the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) that a foreign Medical degree goes through for evaluation. You can check www.mcc.ca for full process (the process is longer than WES and co.).

It will require registering on www.physiciansapply.ca.

My wife is also a Medical doctor that has passed through this process.

Here is the direct link:

Either email or CSE, they are both about inquiry. Making an inquiry on an application is not wrong but the time he did it was probably not worth it.

matogbe:

He sent an email to Accra and not CSE, for me there is nothing bad making enquiry on your application.
Travel / Re: Travelling To Canada Part 10 by Gymme(m): 12:03am On Aug 04, 2016
He intends to WITHDRAW his application. It is a dicey one based on his inquiry. This is why peeps need to be careful in making a CSE (especially if it has not passed NORMAL processing time).

These guys have a lot of backlog and they see someone being impatient and asking to retrieve his/her passport, they got no choice than to help him/her out. They already stated the processing time on the website so why would you make a CSE in just over a month?

This is Canadian and it is their style!

matogbe:
Guys, a colleague who applied June 14th, was frustrated with no update from CIC and decided to mail them 27th July to make enquiries and ask how long it will take if one apply for retrieval of passport. cic quickly replied and asked for his details, he happily gave them his details.

August 1st, he got msg from cic that his document is processed and ready for collection without medical mail o. To cut the story short, he got denied on God forsaken reasons.

My question is that; is it bad to make enquiry? Or is this the trick cic want to use to fustrate pgd/pgc hopeful?

Ps: The denied letter was dated july27th(same day he sent them email)

I was amazed cic responded to him very fast, while myself have sent two messages no reply till date.

Travel / Re: Travelling To Canada Part 10 by Gymme(m): 5:13am On Jul 31, 2016
Ok oo sir! If you live in Sask and say BC is very expensive and such conclude a taxi of 200$ is economical, well what can i say.

I live in BC and expenses are not as expensive as you think compared to Alberta or others. Atleast a university (UNBC) in BC is cheaper than those in Sask. Gaskia!!!

All i'm saying is he could explore other means of transportation at a cheaper rate. Shikena!

princey83:

The estimate is not ridiculous. Abbotsford to Vancouver or vice versa would be about an hour drive plus some minutes. Moreover, BC is very expensive. He can save some amount by using public transit, if he can cope with transfering mode of transportation and spend close to 3 hours travel time with public transport. i even found that amount cheap for BC considering the fact that a taxi from where i live to regina airport in sask cost the same amount, a journey of just over 1hr drive.


That's intracity rate. Once they leave their city of operation, the charges go up. They wont use meter again.
Travel / Re: Travelling To Canada Part 10 by Gymme(m): 10:51pm On Jul 30, 2016
If the school gives such ridiculous estimate, they probably got a share in a taxi company. Lol. Taxi is not the way bro and should not be the only option from Van airport. There should be airport shuttle with a fixed price or train.

I'm not sure about the Accra system going on now. When i applied then, i only knew Accra as the capital of Ghana. Lol

Other peeps that have gotten theirs during this 'Accra regime' might help give you an estimate.

They will not put a different name on her study permit, that i'm sure of. The name she used to apply (which is on her passport) is what will be used. She could, however, take a copy of her marriage certificate along.

GCMS is a document that shows the full details of a completed application (study, work permit etc). Approved or not.

You can apply for it online or through paper. But it is faster (max 30 days) if a resident in Canada applies on your behalf.

As far as your visa is still valid and it is multiple entry (usually), you are good to go to Nigeria and come back before December 5.

Take along your study permit too oo cos at your POE when coming back, those guys go ask for am.

Your spouse will need to write hers. Your IELTS result does not cover hers.

I'm not sure WES evaluates certifications because i believe they evaluate degree/certificate or similar from only institutions. So if your certification is from a recognized institution outside Canada, WES could verify and evaluate it to Canadian standard.

Bro, i would advise that you combine your Masters (evaluated) degree and your PGD to get higher points. Since you do not have at least ONE year Canadian work experience yet, you may be qualified for the Federal Skilled Worker. You have a good number of foreign work experience and that would help to an extent.

You may wanna go through a PNP to improve your points depending on the province you are currently.

Omonjoe:

Lol...i guess both fathers have same surname too. Bros, will you present your birth certificates (yours and your 'uncle'/Cousin) to CIC ni? You could claim your own father as his father on one of the application forms that requires this. Afterall, it is only one father they wanna know (which is your father).

This relationship is very similar to mine and that was what i did and besides my 'Uncle/Cousin' is way older that i am which would suggest that my dad probably gave birth to him when he was just 13 years old. Iyen tun nko? lol

Ajayi4:
But our birth certificates will show different fathers, or I should claim his father as mine. His father is younger brother to my father

[quote author=Ajayi4 post=47476501]

Bros, your uncle with same 'saw name' might as well be changed to your Brother (since you have same surname) and if the age gap between you two is not much. You could include a pix of both of you to show relationship (they will return ur pix back if you applied through paper route). At least those were what i did then.

As per funding, it depends on how much your sponsor has for that since your salary account has no savings and your pension account of 300k 'might' not be sufficiently convincing for a VO. To be on a safer side, your sponsor's cash flow is important.

As far as they don't mail documents from here to all countries (embassies), i don't see how it will affect or how it has affected TRV processing. The lockout is definitely gonna affect peeps that applied for one thing or the other within Canada.

Since your Masters and MBBS degrees are not from Canada, you will have to evaluate either of the two. I said either because both Masters level and Professional degree (MBBS) will give the same point. Evaluating MBBS will require you going through Medical Council of Canada and that takes way longer than evaluating Masters.

Both of you can't apply separately because during your application, you will state your marital status (and you wouldn't wanna lie, my sister). So to me, all things being equal, you that is 32 have a upper hand to be the principal applicant. Both of you could evaluate your degrees so as to get more points and write the English test.



teeoba:
Hello House,
Thanks for all the great work you are doing on this thread.
I want to begin the PR process with my husband and wanted to clarify a few things that were not very explicit to me as i read the thread.
I am a doctor with a Masters degree from a US institution. Currently practice with my Masters degree. and have about 8 years post-first degree and 3 years post Masters experience.
My hubby has a BSc degree with about 10yrs experience but has other IT certifications. He's 38 and im 32.
My questions are:
1. who is better placed to be the primary applicant?
2.can we both apply individually (i.e submit 2 applications) to improve our chances of selection?
3. Do I need to evaluate my MBBS degree or only the Masters will suffice?
4. In general what is the best approach to getting a higher score and the ITA?

Many thanks in advance for your responses.
