I started thinking about law just recently after a couple of colleagues in Canada advised I consider it and also to have a plan B career wise if the first one doesn't work. just to have as many options as possible.

I'd take your advice regarding the certifications. thank you

NuCypher:

If you have never practiced law in Nigeria, how do you plan to start out completely new in Canada with inadequate experience? That's going to require some dedication, especially as it's a new country and things are not going to be immediately clear from the beginning.

Writing many certifications should not be a thing that worries you. You just leave out the certifications you don't want employers to see when you fill out your resume, and include the ones necessary for the job you are applying for.

thank you so much. I've already embarked on the LinkedIn route. as far as interest goes the Project Management path is really of interest to me but really it's the money trail I'm following. if I may ask, why did you leave the IT certifications life behind grin

Enculer2:


You have got plenty and time ahead of you. It all depends on what you plan to do. What do you like? The options are endless.

There are any employment services open to PR holders and upu can start to benefit before you arrive.

Start by connecting with people on LinkedIn.

I have gone through that IT certifications path in my former life. It never stops.

What ever you do, try to have that additional career which you have already.

All I can say is that with your law background, you shall chop and chop.

Hello Everyone.

Please I have a couple of questions. I am a lawyer here in Nigeria, about 4 years post-call call but I have never practiced law. My experience has mainly been in sales and business development for about 3 years now.

I got ITA last year and I'm hopeful to land this year with the intention to live in Calgary so I've been seriously thinking about the best career path to follow in Canada and to start planning ahead now.

I have I.T. certifications as a Scrum Master and as a Product Owner (PSM and PSPO) and I also plan to sit for the Agile Project Management and Business Analysis certifications before I travel so I can pursue a career in I.T. as a Project Manager/Business Analyst in Canada.

Recently, someone advised me to not sit for too many certifications so that I am not overqualified for entry to mid level jobs since I don't have a lot of experience in the field.

There is also the option of studying and sitting for the bar exams in Canada and pursuing a law career as it seems that everybody is trying to become a Project Manager nowadays and the competition for those roles is really high so pursuing a different career path may not be a bad idea.

I really just want to know if it's a good plan to work with and if there are opportunities for young professionals like me or the possibility of getting a decent job, especially in Calgary in I.T or even any industry generally, or if there are better options to consider as far as building a career is concerned. Your input will be appreciated

You guys that immigrated before the pandemic were really the lucky ones. Now we cant get invites with a CRS of 480, proof of funds is almost 9M, and IRCC is not interested in you if you don't know how to speak French. May God help us all.

My heart goes out to everyone currently in this journey. It’s so difficult now. During my time 3/4 yrs ago. POF was 3.5M for one person. At that time, it was difficult as well but now, the difficulty is now 100% more. I don’t even know the advice to give people now.

Please look at every option well and act accordingly. It will end well by the Grace of GOD.

Well, I think I'm done with IQAS, I was able to create a draft for my wife a month ago and I've been trying to make payment ever since... unfortunately, the draft expired today which means I will have to create another application which might take 2 weeks. I will just channel all my energy toward CES, I wish ircc can recognise Wes LLB as first professional degree. This IQAS is nonsense at its peak.

don't make that mistake oo CES doesn't evaluate LLB from Nigeria as a first professional degree. assessing her LLB and BL with WES as 2 or more degrees is your best bet if you don't want to go with IQAS

Hello. Transcript got to IQAS Sept 30 from her university. Took them a month to acknowledge it around end of Oct. Evaluation came out Dec 2. She's a lawyer but we had registered back in June. All the wahala of getting transcript took about 3 months. 9ja


okayy thanks. I created my profile early this month but to pay has been impossible cos of the daily limit quota and all. did you guys have that challenge too? I'm also trying to evaluate an LLB which is even why I've persisted with them for so long. my transcript is already in transit to them

Good morning everyone

Please I wish to start freshly and would love to know if I am not too late. What are my chances as a married man - with my wife and son, civil servant and MSc holder?

I won't mind if I can be directed to a post that will simplify everything to me. Please help as I am so determined.

Thank you
