I believe every situation is unique let me share my unique experience in the hopes that I get feedback and insight from the gurus in the house.

I am a HND holder who went to Canada in 2016 to pursue a degree in politics. The degree took longer because I had a situation called a status restoration that took almost 2 years off. I eventually had the issue restored and did 3 years worth of studies before deciding to make a program switch to psychology, I decided also to take a break from school to properly consider my options.

Around this time I received information from my student advisor about an opportunity that would allow me to transition to a work permit. I decided to take the offer but it would require me to switch to visitor status before applying for the work permit. Unfortunately the visitor visa application was approved but the work permit app was refused.

Around this time too, my passport was about to expire (I held off renewing because I was waiting for the apps). Mind you, I was fully supporting myself since I could not work. I was unable to renew the passport at the high commission in Ottawa because they were experiencing processing issues. My passport expired and IRCC recommended returning back to Nigeria and since I had a family emergency too at that time I accepted.

I was returned to Nigeria subsequently after 7 1/2 years in canada and I came back with 4
years worth of work experience (by my estimation) and 3 years of studies in a Canadian university. I tried the CRS calculator and it registered 538

Please what are my chances applying for PR. Please drop any feedback and suggestions

CornOak:


Your story sounds sketchy and unclear with plenty missing details.

1. Did you eventually complete your studies at the university? If yes, were you issued a certificate/diploma of completion? Can you get your transcript from the school?

2. You mentioned that you had 4 years Canadian experience, when was this experience obtained – during or after studies? Note that you can't claim work experience in Canada as a student and you mentioned that you work permit was delayed.

3. Were you returned to Nigeria by IRCC or you voluntarily left Canada after your visitor's visa expiry with no issue of ban?

Whatever you claim must be solidly backed up with clear evidences and documents. So I'd advice you add more details others can guide you accordingly.

Good day everyone. I tried to create an EE profile but got a message saying I am ineligible. I checked the CRS Score assigned to me, but no marks were assigned to me. Mind you I maxed out my IELTS, have a WES-certified master's degree and I am under 30 years old. I know I must have done something wrongly but I can't figure out what it is.
What did I do wrongly and how can I rectify this please?

Hello, please can someone advise on the best time to add a spouse to an application without reducing the scores, because the spouse has no ECA or English tests

Gr8fulHeart:
Hello house, good morning.
Please has anyone tried opening an account with PEI pnp.
I am trying to and it keeps asking for second passport information and the page won't proceed to complete registration.
Please can someone help me shed light on this?

My work experience was during my studies. Says here that a student can gain work experience during

Spouse will reduce the score at any point you add them if they don't have ECA and English Test.
You can add a child at any point without reducing your score but spouse will.

shila8:



Thank you. Whats the implication of score reduction

Got a recommendation from a reddit site to create a profile to check my chances. Surprised to see it ask for my passport number. Does it retain the number? Has the application started because I'm not ready yet

You are on the wrong website if it's asking for your passport

Martins281:


Really? This is what I mean

aurorae1:


If you're trying to create an Express Entry profile then you're on the right course. This looks like the correct site.

Ontarioo:

There are several factors that could make your profile ineligible. If you select Quebec, you will get ineligible profile.
Check that you get 67/100 in the eligibility assessment.
Check the "hours of work"...

Read page one of this thread to understand better

Martins281:


If I create one do I have to stick with it through my application. Trying to see if I will get an ITA before I start proper.

Will IRCC retain my data. Trying to avoid issues especially since it's asking for my passport number

aurorae1:


Enter the express entry pool immediately if you haven't done so. This is a good score. The last general score was 529. You are also eligible for CEC, last score was 510 I believe.

Predator188:

So apply and waste application fees

aurorae1:


You can use a new passport when you want to submit your application after ITA... As long as it's yours. People's passports expire, get missing or stolen etc.

Cassan:


Thank you so much for this🙏🏼
This may sound dumb but I checked the first page and couldn't find the information.
How do I check that I got 67/100 in the eligibility assessment, please? It never came up when I was setting up my profile.

Martins281:


You don't understand. I'm just testing the waters to see if I will receive an ITA. I am worried that if I put in my passport number, when the application proper starts I might need a new profile.

Will I be able to create a new profile to apply with if I attach my passport to this one

aurorae1:


leave him o.
As long as he's sure of that 538 let him go ahead.
Although that work experience during schooling is nil...

aurorae1:


Yeah you can delete a previous profile. Keep in mind that yes, IRCC likely retains old information, so do with that what you will.

But why are you testing the waters to getting an ITA? If you do get one, why not go ahead and submit your application?

Predator188:

So what the point if experience with study permit is nil...
And didn't finished studies in the second place .

Martins281:


I got you. Mostly because I'm yet to make up my mind and I'm yet to take the exams or assess my educational credentials

Predator188:

No mehn ..You are following CEC eligibility not immigration law...
Your work experience during studies or with study permit does not count in Canadian experience class...

warning Follow the immigration law below..or they refer to paragraphs and refuse your applications ..
Or implicate your overtime work if available
