3. Seize the day, change is inevitable. Take the example of extra CRS points from French which was increased in Oct 2020 from 30 to 50. We fought and argued here. Some people thought those who were learning French or could speak it were hyping the change and gloating over those who couldn't. Meanwhile, someone who stared DIY French in Oct 2020 would probably be at B2 level now and have the opportunity to get PNPs for second language skills. If truly NOC related draws are the way forward, then one option (in addtion to doing everything in one's power to max CRS) is to begin to investigate which NOCs are in demand and work towards getting a job in those areas....at least in a year's time you would have done 12 months and be able to list it as your primary NOC. I'm not suggesting it's a quick or easy thing to do, but it's something. If it turns out that the NOC thing doesn't materialise, you're still ok because you've embedded yourself in an NOC that may mean you get a job faster when you land.

Stay hopeful, pray that the odds will favour you more often than not, but please do the needful.

Peace!

Hello,

I hope you landed safely and doing well.
Thank you for your help so far. I intend to arrive in Canada next month and I'll like to know how you bought CAD before landing. Thank you very much 🙏🏽

Abercrome:


Yes, I landed safely and I’m adjusting well. My husband got $2k from his bank (FCMB) through the PTA route. We supplemented this by buying CAD from the black market. My brother helped me with this one but I can ask him what the black market process is. We also still had quite a lot of NGN when we landed and will be looking to convert this soon. Have you tried PTA?

if I max out my belts, my score will only be at 481. currently at 478 but ielts has expired so I have withdrawn my profile. and booked for a new test and really hoping to max out. however, I need help with what else I can do to get my score up to 490. I really need ITA. tired of being in the pool for 2 years now. I am not sure I can learn French within a few months considering all I'm dealing with

newmum:
Dear all,

I am currently in Nigeria with the kids while my spouse is in the UK for masters. when we receive PPR, can we submit the passports separately? This implies that I submit at Abuja VAC where Biometric is planned and my spouse submits at the London VAC where his biometric is planned. is this even possible/allowed? What other options are available please?

Remmrem:


Thank you.

Please do healthcare and support workers stand a chance with this category based draw?
I saw “other assisting occupations in support of health services”
Does this include care workers/ support workers?

Hello House, my express entry profile expired and also my international passport has also expired but I already got a new Passport.

Can I open a new GCKEY with the new passport? Does it have any effect?
Or do I have to create a new profile under the old GCKEY?

Greathand01:
Please is IELTS compulsory even if you have MSc in the UK. Also how is the CRS score calculated.

Profgordons:
IELTS is compulsory…. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp …. Calculate your scores using that link

First through placeholder then by webform. Webform is just jara really. Placeholder is where IRCC expect you to respond to any ADR AFAIK.

Holladoyheen:
Good day my ppl. Pls we are about to create an EE profile with my husband bn d primary applicant.

My intl. Passport is in process and I have not evaluated my credentials under WES like my husband has done all.
I would like to know, If my passport info would be required along side my husband and kids while filling the EE profile.

Secondly, as a graduate (without WES evaluation) does that mean we would fill in no education for me.

musspuss:
Thank you so much as always. God bless you!
