Thanks for your response.
But do you think I can get in with my current result?
i think you should be asking the CRS calculator this question not me 😬. The 0.5 difference between 7.5 and 8 in listening is about 50 or 60 points in the crs.

Hehe, I totally understand.
May I will try remarking.
There are no chances the score will go lower if I remark, right?

If you have the money, you should remark everything.

We remarked IELTS a couple of months ago (writing only since that was what we needed) and we went up from a 6.5 to an 8. It makes you wonder what these markers are doing.

So, I think you should definitely remark. Your score can't go down. Worst case scenario, you lose the fee.

Hello everyone:

My first result Last Year:
Listening 7.5
Reading 6.0
Writing 6.5
Speaking 6.5
Overall 6.5


My Second Result This year:
Listening 7.5
Reading 7.5
Writing 7.0
Speaking 7.0
Overall 7.5




With these results, can I remark listening or combine both results for EE Cananda?

Hi, my plug there is not really sure again o. It looks like a new system is now in place that requires you to wait your turn, and nothing can really be expedited.

So I have the following questions;.

1. Using the 100% gift deed as POF for a family of 3, hope it's not a problem? .

2. What should be the narration should a father use when transferring money for POF or we should present transfer Slip? .

3. Will her father need to show statement of account?.

Thanks for now.

Landing Gist

Hello everyone,
so like everyone i also enjoy reading landing gist, but i dont post that much however I promised myself ill share mine when the time comes.
So I decided to move to Canada in 2020 cos Lagos was showing me pepper, my job was toxic and it was time for a new start. so i started my application but at that point i only had two years of work experience i had to wait till 2021, so i started with IELTS, then i got 6.5 for a second time in IELTS writting, i knew i did better so i asked them to remark it and then i got 7 thank God. in April 2021 i finally got a good ielts which boosted my profile score to 475. In september i got a pnp nomination and by december 2021, I had submitted my application .
Then the waiting began, this part took so long, and it requires a lot of patience, however in my experience every time i applied for gcms note thats when i see movement on my file, so if you are thinking of applying for gcms note do it. finally on the first of march 2023, i got my passport request. 1 year and some months later. I submitted my passport then I paid 29,000 for courier fee and i got my passport back in a months time.

the travel
I went through Abuja, the airport is pretty and big, and not as stressful as Lagos, I highly recommend it if you dont live in Lagos. I got there 4hours early, i travelled with lufthansa airline, the staff at the check in were so nice, i always assume because i look younger than my age people wont ask me for money lol, but all of them asked for money, i had to settle them cos i had palm oil in my bag.
I was very early so the whole process was really smooth and seamless. Then it was time to board, it was a late night flight from 10pm to 5am germany time. This plane ride wasnt great for me the food took too long to come, and they didnt give us any snacks. I also have a very sensitive stomach so after eating i fell asleep and when the plane was about to land in frankfurt, i started feeling like i was going to throw up and pass out, the food didnt taste bad but my stomach didnt like it. i had to start practicing breathing exercises into a paper bag. I was pressing the bell for the hostess but none of them came, I passed out for a little bit and i felt light headed, but thankfully i was okay, but my experience was already below average.
I finally landed in frankfurt, i had an 8hr layover. so i first i went to shower which cost about 6.90 dollars it comes with towel, soap, lotion, hair dryer and lots of privacy i spent almost an hour in there. then i found napcabs and slept for 2hrs which made me feel a lot better. I was going to explore the rest of the airport but i fell asleep again on the chair i was sitting in lol. then it was finally time to go to canada, they said the flight was full so we can only have one carryon, i had two so they decided to check one in free for us. unfortunately i checked in my bag with the winter jacket i bought. looking around everyone was wearing winter jacket, the canada cold everyone has been warning us about im about to brave it with the flimsiest jumper ever made. i started praying that the airport will be warm. luckily it was a sunny day in calgary and i was worried for nothing.
The port of entry in Calgary was so seamless, i checked yes for smoked fish, cray fish in my bag, but they didnt ask me to open the bag. I had to go to an area marked E for permanent residents but it literally took 5mins they asked for my passport ,COPr and my new address, I gave my airbnb address and that was it, they didnt even ask about proof of funds. I dont know anyone here so i just took the taxi to my airbnb, i started getting overwhelmed cos i dont have a sim to call uber or the right charger to charge my phone so paid for dingtone and booked uber to best buy for a new sim, which was so expensive omg i got virgin media, then i went to walmart to get groceries as well. and that concluded my day one
I’m jet lagged and awake at 2am calgary time writting this post, I’m excited for this new chapter, scared that i moved by myself because people say its lonely without being married first but i guess i have coconut head. so if you are in Calgary lets hangout! if you know any eligible bachelor in calgary send them my way.

Awwww, sorry about the queasy stomach and nausea. Thank you for mentioning this so I know to pack some snacks in my toddler’s diaper bag just in case. Apart from my toddler, I’m pregnant and get nauseous when I don’t eat on time.

The paid shower is equally interesting. Did you pay for the napcab? Love all the little details.

Glad for you that your port of entry questioning was simple enough. All the best in your new country!

I had to go to an area marked E for permanent residents but it literally took 5mins they asked for my passport ,COPr and my new address, I gave my airbnb address and that was it, they didnt even ask about proof of funds. I dont know anyone here so i just took the taxi to my airbnb, i started getting overwhelmed cos i dont have a sim to call uber or the right charger to charge my phone so paid for dingtone and booked uber to best buy for a new sim, which was so expensive omg i got virgin media, then i went to walmart to get groceries as well. and that concluded my day one
I’m jet lagged and awake at 2am calgary time writting this post, I’m excited for this new chapter, scared that i moved by myself because people say its lonely without being married first but i guess i have coconut head. so if you are in Calgary lets hangout! if you know any eligible bachelor in calgary send them my way.
Lovely read! May the you find favour in your new home.

Good evening everyone,

Is there a place I can buy CAD in lagos?
buy usd, banks will convert it for you in Canada. CAD is scarce and very expensive in Lagos.
