JesusDWay:


No it doesn't, qualification is what they are assessing, they are not bothered about whether your separate studies are linked, its only in school matters that may come up and even at that, i doubt it cuz, school will reckon only with the qualification you are using to apply to a programme with them

JesusDWay:


The Diploma won't fetch you an extra mark because it was done before the Bsc, cases where it has fetched people extra marks are when it was done after first degree. Your masters would have been the best but you are yet to finish let alone get your result and transcripts so, you can only evaluate your Bsc for now. When you finish your masters and have gotten result and transcripts ready, you can notify wes to add it to existing Bsc credentials with them(they may not charge you extra).

Thank you Irondome. Based on your explanation and the search i have conducted, Senior government official and Chemical Technologist NOCs are out.

I think NOC 4161 is more in line with my job responsibilities than 5121.

Thank you once again.

Hello Zandora,
Please I had an OND before I can went for my BSC and am almost through with my MBA, can I evaluate the OND separately? if yes I cant see the space to include it in the evaluation link

Etfash:
Good day all.
I worked as a Senior Officer (Standardization and Quality Assurance specialist) with a Federal Government Agency for 3 years. Now within the office, i specialized on Chemical Technology Companies. I don't necessarily , even though i did where necessary, carry out chemical tests. However, i was involved in Standards Writing and implementation, enforcement activities and inspection and auditing of companies' processes, environment, health and products quality.

My question is, what NOC do i classify the above job responsibilities? A senior government official, Chemical Technologist, Standards Writer or a Researcher? Kindly advise.

Hi @Zandora and @Jesustheway,

I got a couple of questions concerning the express entry.

Background: 3.3yrs in manufacturing as a process engineer and production manager in Procter & Gamble. IELTS - 8,7.5,7.5,7 (RWSL),skill type NOC 0

1) Do u know about any province with more manufacturing job opportunities?
2) Is it possible to get a job offer to boost the application process?
3) Is it advisable to lower ur profile from NOC 0 to B since my work experience is less than 4yrs in the manufacturing?

Thanks in advance.

tsolution:
Well done @ Jesustheway, Zandora.
Pls we are applying, my husband as d principal applicant. Our Masters transcripts are IELTS are ready. But the immigration agent is insisting we get B.SC transcripts. This has taken more than one month. Can we go ahead and enter the pool ourselves?

I am 3 months pregnant, if after 6 months we are successful God willing, when is it advisable to travel with the new baby?

What additional preparation do we need for the new baby?
Thank you.

Hello brothers and sisters in the house, you guys are awesome, you are doing a great job here after reading this thread i found answers to my questions. Am interested in Australia PR and don't know i need to be accessed by any body, i studied computer science and have a 2 years experience after my degree, my question is can i use experience i had before my B.Sc. your answer will be appreciated.
Thanks
please let keep this thread alive ...

special1Z:
Just curious did anyone actually get something out of this Australian program

learned0007:


Spot on.

Thanks bro.

Also, can you confirm the "document by document" WES evaluation is good to go in this case since its for Immigration and not study purpose.

I asked because that should cost 150 canadian dollars (which is equivalent to less than 30k naira), but I read earlier in the thread that some pay as much as 50k naira for the evaluation so I'm at a loss as to why. Im I missing something?

learned0007:


Hi Zandora,

Quite appreciate your insightful inputs to the numerous queries.

However, need clarification on the bolded from your response above. I have a BSc from Nigeria (5 yrs) and an MSc from UK (1 yr). Obviously, the UK MSc is the highest degree, which I have checked to be an equivalent of Canadian Masters.

Am I correct by saying, your advice is just to evaluate (using WES) only the Masters degree and not necessarily the BSc from Naija uni in my case?

Would evaluating both degrees not enhance my points and enable me stand a better chance?

Lastly, on average from those who have done this WES evaluation, how long does the process take for Universities in Nigeria and for UK Uni's?

bubsykay:
Thanks to you all! Application submitted! Total CRS score 456, I see the next draw coming down to 450 or below......... @Zandora, JesusDway and other bosses! What do I do now? any link for document list? so I can start getting ready. Thank you

Thanks in anticipation

It is quite unfortunate as this new thread has pushed most of all FSW applicant out.

the Mod should have created a separate thread for express entry.

a lot june to december 2014 applicant are still waiting for AVO

erekoshe:


I do get your point, but like I told you earlier "abnormal" is the new "normal" here on Nigeria.. So screw it, I support the other guys choice of words, eventhough he went too far. Not that they were right but that's the norm here.


Nigerian banks hide a lot. For instance, You think the list of debtors published was correct? U know what it took to maneuver that? U think only First bank, UBA and Skye have hidden MDA funds? They were unlucky coz they got caught. The entire industry is messed up. The TSA will cause hardship for the low level bank staff and the economy at large. The 'ogas at the top' have stolen enough and they won't even get touched.


Your next point will be should we do nothing because of the inherent fraud? Actually, clean up of the sector should preceded funds mop off as the clean up will unveil several abnormally that will even increase funds to be mopped.

erekoshe:


Petitioning the NASS? You're joking right?

mbulela:

There is an inherent daftness in your post.
So we should just allow organizations to flout laid down rules and regulations?
Do you understand that this act of undeclaring funds is fraud in its true sense?
What has that got to do with diversifying the economy?
So because they will increase arbitrarily COT (which is not possible as charges are regulated), they should be allowed to fraudulently hide funds?
Do you see the illogical premise of your argument?

Hi Zandora, thanks for this encouragement, I am fully activated now to start my application. I intent to register for my IELTS exams immediately
1. I hope it will not be too late to start an application as the earliest test date is 5th December.
2. I intend to relocate with my whole family to Canada and will like to fund out if I will be permitted to come to Canada alone first to settle before bringing in my family.
3. Is it also true that there is free education for kids in Canada
4.which province has more of the logistics roles so I can channel my focus to the province
5. Which province have the lowest cost of living.
6. I have a degree in Mathematics and an MBA,I can easily get my 1st degree transcript sent to WES from my school but not sure how quick my MBA can be sent by Lautech.Is there any advantage of using both degrees or can I just use my maths degree

1. I hope it will not be too late to start an application as the earliest test date is 5th December. Never too late, however, make sure you do not procrastinate, as first steps are usually vital to success.
2. I intend to relocate with my whole family to Canada and will like to fund out if I will be permitted to come to Canada alone first to settle before bringing in my family. Absolutely, only that you would be expected to show the proof of funds for the entire family at the point of entry, even if all your family members are not landing with you.
3. Is it also true that there is free education for kids in Canada. Not sure, however, I read somewhere education is free till college.
4.which province has more of the logistics roles so I can channel my focus to the province. Ask google sir
5. Which province have the lowest cost of living. Ask google sir
6. I have a degree in Mathematics and an MBA,I can easily get my 1st degree transcript sent to WES from my school but not sure how quick my MBA can be sent by Lautech.Is there any advantage of using both degrees or can I just use my maths degree. Your MBA may fetch you more points if WES assessed it as equivalent to Canadian masters (which is likely). You may go with only bachelor degree if you do not need the extra points (i.e if your CRS score with just BSc is like 450+). Personally, I think every point counts.

erekoshe:



Was I talking to you bro?

Nevertheless, let's talk about your points.
Should we find a saint before we start adhering to simple rules? NO but let's make it a level playing ground, let's punish all offenders. Are we doing that? NO. There are some sacred cows.. (Won't share details)

The CBN has bruised several of her own orders, they've messed the sector up several times and are even responsible for several decline in the economy. Who'll punish them?? What do you know of the central bank activities, go review access and intercontinental brawl, oceanic sales, Amcon and even NIBBS activities, or check out the BVN messed up DB where ur name and face on the DB don't correlate, lest I forget the Heidal project. Dude, you don't know jack abt the CBN so shut up.

Fine doesn't really solve problem, it create greater and smarter thieves. Find the root cause of a problem and fix it before fining. Close the loopholes.

Hello Zandora and Other Gurus in the house

Please I urgently need your help, I have uploaded all my documents under the documents checklist for the PR application and I am trying to pay through mycic account but I keep getting Transaction declined from my GTB mastercard saying I have exceeded the daily transaction limit. I have enough funds in my account and I am supposed to pay about 2250 Canadian dollars. I went to the bank and was told the new CBN law states a daily limit of $300 for transactions.

Please how can I pay as my deadline is fast approaching.

Momoluwa:
Hello,

Please i'd like to be educated on how the proof of funds work. I have a family of 4.

Am I suppose to have this fund in my account as at the time of entry into the pool?

Can I enter into the pool, then gather the funds together?

At what point am I going to be required to show proof of funds?

and what if the fund is a gift from....say my mum. is that going to be acceptable?

Thanks ya'll

While the Nigerian economy continues to crumble general Buhari's goodwill appears to be vanishing   at least that's what it appears to be following the house boy treatment meted out to him in India 

While other African leaders were decorated and giving a rousing welcome our jet lovin Bubu was driven in an executive (glorified) open keke napep with his entourage. 

Double checks reveals that the Indians have also stubbornly refused to upload his speech on the conference Web portal 

http://www.iafs.in/speeches.php


India is Nigeria second biggest investor after China and the worst affected by Buhari's forex restrictions as most of thier companies can hardly source raw materials especially those in the pharmaceutical sector...

Can Nigeria survive Buharinomics?

I actively monitor the just concluded India-Africa Summit. I am afraid Nigeria's presence in Africa is diminishing.
The respect accord to former President Goodluck Jonathan by his African peer is diminishing.
Apart from conveying our president in a trolley as against red carpet reception given to Kenya's President.
The speech of Nigeria's representative during the Ministerial conference was not included on the Summit official website until 24 hours later.
Even the speech is full of typographic errors and grammatic blunders.
Now how do you justify that our President's speech was not included in the list of speeches made at the conference when speeches of the likes of Kenya, Zambia, Burundi, Liberia and several Africa's president have been uploaded more than 48 hours ago?

Well, fingers crossed. I was one of those that got PR during the years the conservatives were trying hard to clear the backlogs created by the liberals. When the conservatives took over the government, backlog was already 10 years+ for skilled workers. Those that had families in Canada usually applied through pnp and were always given priority(fast processing of less than 2 years). The conservatives did a good job by bringing it down to around 6 months.

I hope the liberals have changed their ways though and improve on the immigration policies of the conservatives not revamping it entirely.. Let's hope for the best.
