Oh I get you now.
To enter the pool you need the assessment and a language test result. You can't create a profile sans those.

Makes sense now. Thanks

The work was during the summer. There's 4-5 months of fulltime work each year.

Is credit a factor calculated towards the CRS score?

No credit score is not a factor...
Aside from study permit not eligible..
You need experience in teer 0 1 2 3 occupations to be eligible how do you prove that ..

I was not a full time student during those summers and the jobs I had were in management - That is tier 1, Sir.

You had a managerial position for just 4-5 month during summer breaks?

Anyways for you to be able to claim point for Canadian study
Will your school be able to release your transcript since you didn't complete your study/ paid the tuition balance?

Will you be able to get a reference letter from the place you claimed to have worked for those months in a teer 1 job?

Yes, I was very grateful for the opportunity... got managerial jobs several summers throughout the course of my stay and study in Canada and yes, I can get reference letters from them.

I'm unsure about being able to get my transcript since the school has said it will not furnish any docs until payment has been made in full. However, I could try to discuss options with them like promising a part payment and see how they respond.

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

Did you return on your own or you were deported?

What was the reason for denial on your work permit?

The answers to these 2 questions will determine your PR case with IRCC.

I was partially returned because I made the report personally. My passport had expired and I had no way of returning. IRCC took it from there, they didn't give me a removal order or any documents but I was detained and then a travel document and flight ticket was brought for my trip. I was accompanied by 3 officials all the way to Nigeria.

I was not on a work permit. I was on a study permit which I switched to a visitor's visa - probably why the situation didn't escalate to a deportation.

Sounds like a removal order was enforced reason why detained and escorted by officials.
Since your passport was expired IRCC will not issue you a visitor's visa passed the expiry of your passport, meaning you have no valid status to remain in Canada..
And CBSA paid for your return, that doesn't sound well..now you have to pay that money back before you return to Canada,so officially you are owing CBSA.
And you may be required to obtain authorisation to return to canada 🇨🇦 if you plan to return to canada in the future.

Note:Your information may be shared with five eyes countries on the list.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand ,United kingdom and the United States of America.

Doesn't sound probable to owe CBSA. I had a decent interaction with the officials I spoke with and nothing of the sort was mentioned.

I do not believe your theory is accurate. Thanks

I would suggest you order CBSA notes to be sure on what terms you left Canada. That’s the only way you can truly confirm.

Any removal that involves them paying your flight fees and having an escort requires repayment of flight fees. It will be good to ensure that you are exempt from the repayment before you proceed with an application to become a permanent resident.

Also were you a part time student when you did the summer work? If you were a full time student and worked during your holidays more than 20hrs, it does not change the fact that you were a full time student.

If your score was 470 without spouse and you got ITA with 460 draw
If you add spouse and our score drops below 460 then you are not able to apply

Oh wow.Thank you . When do you advise is the best time to add my spouse

You have to first seek an Authorization to Return before making any application.

Good morning everyone
Please I need an advise and opinions from y'all . I wanted to start with the application process. But for the proof of Funds,how best is it to save towards it . I don't want to save it in naira because of our fluctuated naira exchange rate. I was trying to open a dorm account ,but they requested that I should provide 2 reference letters from 2 different dormicillary account holders. But I can't meet up to the requirements from the bank. Please is there any alternative on me saving up for my POF without being affected from exchange rate, please I would appreciate if anyone can support me with an opinion and advise 🥺🥺

[b][/b]Concerning POF please if you are the primary applicant but your accompanying spouse has the pod in their account and you don’t. How do you guys go about it?

PanicButton:


If you get married and add her as a spouse, your score will be recalcuted. You may or may not meet the cut off. Best bet is submit your application prior to the marriage. Get married after submission (AOR), and raise a webform indicating a change in marital status. Whether she accompanies you to Canada or not, the POF must reflect the new family composition. Please take that into account. All the best.

stevolinkon40:

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.

I was under the impression that scores are locked after AOR, so adding my spouse afterward shouldn't affect my scores—assuming you got married after the AOR.

One of the solutions is to change the account into a joint account and use it for the couple.

Cheers.

There is no age limit for Express Entry.

If you are 45yrs and above, you may not obtain any score for age, but would certainly obtain score for other points that you are qualified for.

Cheers.

Good morning guys, if I’ve previously lived in the uk for about a year and some months but i only submitted police reference for Nigeria, will that affect my application in anyway? And if it does is there a way to work around it?

Why didn't you include your time living in the UK in your application?

According to IRCC, you must disclose any place you've lived for more than 6 months in the past 5 or 10 years (not sure).

Additionally, several countries, including the UK, share information with Canada. So, imagine the visa officer reviewing your application, conducting a background check, and finding out you stayed in the UK for over a year.

Because I have some debt in the UK and I don’t want that reflected in my application

Debt to bank or what?
Not declaring you lived in UK is misrepresentation and may attract 5 years ban in addition to a rejected application.

What the police certificate will show is if you committed a crime while in UK. And a background check will show if you overstayed your visa in UK.
That’s what should be your concern IMO.

Debt won't show on police report, that's not a crime na. Na crime to be broke ?

Police certificate is very important.
Check someone whom was refused for submitting invalid one

She can transfer the money to the P.A.'s account and the P.A. writes an LOE on the transaction. Two equals one in marriage and they understand that.
