I am a lawyer, 30 years old, married, but my spouse is not planing to come to canada with me at the moment. I carried out the CRS analysis and my score was 433 (which is not enough for express entry). Which professional Exam will you suggest for me to take to boost my CRS.

Are you indicating your law degree as a Bachelor's or Master's/Professional degree?

Law is a professional degree which is comparable to a Masters according to IRCC, check under CRS. A CORE/HUMAN FACTOR under LEVEL OF EDUCATION.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/criteria-comprehensive-ranking-system/grid.html

However, of all the ECA bodies it appears that only IQAS and CES are disposed to evaluating a bachelor's in law as a professional degree, others do not seem to.

Pls read page 1, and the links marked HERE that take you to IRCC web pages, carefully.......CRS for a 30 year old, assuming you have 3 years work experience and maximum points from IELTS with a NON accompanying spouse and a professional degree/masters should be approx 476.

Also search NL for more details using key words e.g. law eca iqas etc...interesting story of a lady who almost missed out on Canada because she didn't realise her law degree was worth more than she thought: https://www.nairaland.com/4657743/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/327#71552587

and you are a lawyer? Abeg no Dey shame us outside na. A lawyer is presumed to know “everything” or “a little of everything”



Anyway, on a more serious note, there is nothing to TEF. There are testimonies here of people who didn’t have basic knowledge of French but prepared and passed it. The word impossible itself says l’m possible.

Good afternoon guys.

I have two questions please.

I did diploma before gaining admission for my LLB from the same university (unilag) and I have certificates for both.

What should be my start date when registering for my credentials evaluation please (IQAS) ? The diploma start date or the LLB start date ? Note: Diploma was in 2011 - 2012 while LLB was from 2012 - 2016.

Secondly, what Transcript Transmission method is appropriate? Email or Mail?

The way folks do the school thingy in Naija in the sick system gets exposed here. See questions we ask!

330? This one pass me, I won’t lie. Please provide us with more details like your age, highest qualification obtained etc. cos the score is too low to be true

Andyosifo:
Happy belated birthday. I had similar issue, but mine was writing and listening, and I did IELTS over five times I could not exceed 6.5 and 7.5 in Writing and Listening respectively.One day, I contacted my friend who got 9.0 in his listening and he told me his strategy, which is to move to part four immediately you are told to open to part one, and glance through it marking key words and then part three, two and one, however; this most be done with the speed of light,so that you can meet up before they start giving out answer to part one. With this strategy, you don't just mark key words,it also gives you the ample opportunity to know the types of questions ahead of you. When I applied this strategy in my practice, I moved from the usual 33,34 to 38, and I got 8.5,8,7,7 LRSW when I eventually wrote IELTS.
This is just a suggestion,if you decide to try it make sure you master it before writing IELTS again.

Success on your next IELTS.






I am having mixed feeling
Got my test score today (my birthday)
L-7.5
R-6.5
W- 7.0
S- 7.5
Overall band 7


I was not expecting the high scores in speaking (cos I paused and stammered during the last phase of the test) and listening (cos I missed many numbers. I got lost. Apparently, it is my weakest point. I always got lost arnd number 30). But the reading I was confident about nd could bet I will have atleast 8.5 or at worst 8... Na him I get 6.5

It is worth applying for remark or I accept fate and reapply? Someone please advice me

Gracias. I am not psychologically ready to try it out yet... Make money no waste. Let's see how enxt month goes

Do not use Wes. However if you’re using WES, evaluate both your llb transcript and law school transcript to gain 2 or more degrees.

I have already used WES and my transcript is on the way. I have paid all the processing fees. Should I cancel my subscription and used IQAS?

Like I said it’s up to you. Wes will evaluate your llb as a a bachelor degree and you’ll be loosing out on points. To gain more points, include your law school education and also send your law school transcript to them. That way, both will be evaluated as 2 or more degrees which gives you more point.

In the alternative, evaluate only your LLB degree with IQAS to get points for a professional degree which gives you 7 additional points than even 2 or more degrees with WES if evaluating both llb and law school transcript. All left to you.

What do you mean by cancel? If you have the funds , I advise you register with IQAS separately and apply for your transcript to be sent to them. Because it takes a longer time for your transcript to be evaluated by IQAS, you can use your WES evaluation to sit in the pool while waiting for your IQAS evaluation that will give you a masters equivalent. For WES, it's advisable to send both the degree and law school qualification so at least you get a two or more certificates option from them.

IELTS score alone does not determine your CRS score. You need to factor in your level of education, age, work experience (in/outside Canada), whether you are applying as a single or married.

Your IELTS score is good. In fact, we scored exactly the same. Simulate your CRS score without your wife writing IELTS or even evaluating her credentials and if you score 468 upwards, well... The last draw for all programs + FSW was 468.

I think we should just forget about fsw this year or what do you guys think at this point

In your original post you were willing to spend additional time AND money to obtain an additional qualification to get you 2 or more degrees....or so it seems from your question.

Now, you are being advised to also use IQAS even though you may have already paid for WES despite the additional time AND money it will cost.

Very similar.

I'll just say that 7 CRS points are precious (assuming WES evaluated your LLB and law school as 2 or more degrees), precious enough that many people I know would willingly pay $300 (approx ECA cost) and 4 months (approx ECA timing) to get it.

Please re-read this advise posted below, think through carefully and research more before making a final decision.

I think prospective applicants should bite the bullet and start learning French....it's the future!

The other new international graduate pathways have a 90k limit. The French pathway has NO limit.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2021/04/new-pathway-to-permanent-residency-for-over-90000-essential-temporary-workers-and-international-graduates.html

Quarter 1 2021 has had the largest ITAs in IRCC's 7 year history (44k) ......without any FSW, they seem to be looking inwards. They are almost half way to their 2021 target of 108k ITAs for the economic class (FSW, CEC etc).

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/supplementary-immigration-levels-2021-2023.html

Faith and Works are partners. Prospective applicants should have faith that FSW will return but work at upping your CRS just in case.

Congrats. Pls how Can I apply for Noi

Please very careful with UNICAF are using advanced way to steal from people oooo

Thank you for this reply. My CRS score is 453 without my wife doing IELTS. Though I am thinking maybe I am making some mistakes while doing the calculation. I'm expecting it to be higher than that.

Please encourage (not pressure) her to write the IELTS.

If she scores 8777 (LRWS), you will earn an additional 20 points.

Canada invited 266 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence on April 14.

In order to be invited in this draw, candidates needed a score of 753. This minimum score requirement may seem high compared to the average all-program, or Canadian Experience Class-only draw, but that is because invited candidates needed to have previously received a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

PNP candidates automatically get 600 points just for receiving the provincial nomination. Without the nomination, the lowest-scoring candidate would have 153 points.

Candidates who had the minimum score of 753 were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry profile before March 01, 2021 at 15:22:18 UTC, as per the tie-break rule. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publishes the cut-off time for the tie-break rule as an administrative requirement, regardless of whether there was an actual tie.

Your wife needs to write.

With 6666 your total score will be 465.
With 7777 your total score will be 471
With 8777 your total score will be 473

Simulate her IELTS results using the CRS score with her, and let her see that she needs little push to get you your desired score. Just put her through basics of IELTS and she should be fine. No pressure at all.

For now, you can create EE profile stating she won't be following you...that's 469 points. If ITA comes show her and let her see she's delaying your dreams, but don't accept while you use it to 'threaten' her to write within the validity period (60 days). Perhaps, a 'friendly threat' will do the trick

On a lighter note, FSW is not something one needs to miss when the draw begins. So, make hay while the sun shines.
