@ Zandora, did the passports you sent to CIC post PPR detail the name and address of the passport studio. If yes, was it stamped or handwritten? If stamped or imprinted, which studio in lagos can one get such services.

Yes it had the name of the studio written at the back, it can either be written or stamped. Just go to any studio and give them the specifications.

Hello house! I need to make an inquiry about my wife-to-be's future. Assumption- Let's just say i travelled to Canada via the MPNP-Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program through my uncle's (over there) assistance and i was single then when moving but my fiancee was having my baby in her womb unknown to my uncle(i wouldn't want him to know anyway cuz he'll think im unserious and may stop helping). Though we only did our introduction ceremony before i left for canada and after 2 years there; i came back home(Nigeria) to do the wedding proper and intend to go with my (now-legal)wife and son to canada. How do i go about it concerning my wife and son pls? Hope its understood, anticipating your kind responses. Thanks!

Your enquiry is a bit ambigous. What right does your uncle has to think you are unserious because your wife got pregnant for you? Adding them both to your application shouldn't be a big deal M8.

Your degree and foreign experience should suffice.

Thanks for the information. What I really mean is Canadian occupation registration. Some occupations like Engineering are regulated. I want to know if one needs to be a registered engineer in Canada before one could be considered for the engineering occupation.

No, you don't need to be a registered engineer in Canada to be considered for engineering occupation. You would only need to be registered (certified) to use the title "Engineer" or practice as one in Canada.

Does anyone know how many points from the SINP point grid HND gets 15 or 20.

Any got an idea about this ?

20. It's actually higher in evaluation than Bsc in Canada, MPNP states it as 2certificates of 2years each so, you should pick 20. Besides, even in Nigeria where we have so discriminated against it, it is still regarded as a first degree so, you pick 20

Hello all,

I've created this thread for Canadian Express Entry and outstanding FSW 2014 applicants since the previous thread became too long and has now been closed. I've also pasted a PDF link below which details the step by step instructions to apply for the Federal Skilled Workers Program via Express Entry.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4gWGgP8Vy5lSjFoaC01ZUtOaTg/view

In order to apply for Express Entry via FSW you need to first have a minimum of 1 year full time (30 hrs a week) or 2 years part time (15 hrs a week) skilled work experience which falls under NOC code A,B or O. Check for your NOC code below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

Next take your IELTS General test.

Then evaluate your degree or credentials via WES Canada (the best option). See link below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

After doing the above, to find out if you've qualified you need to score a minimum of 67 points out of 100 in the FSW grid. Calculate your score below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Now that you've qualified, you can go ahead and complete your Express Entry profile via the link below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp

Other things you must have:

Reference letters to verify the work experience you're claiming points for in the specified format below:

Written on company letterhead.

Signed by the responsible officers/supervisor.

Have the printed name and job title of the responsible officer/supervisor beneath the signature.

Show the company’s full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses

Stamped with the company’s official seal (if applicable)

The letter must include 5 things:

Your job title.

The dates of your employment (ideal format: DD/MM/YYYYY).

Your salary per year (or month).

Your average hours per week.

A detailed list of your employment duties.

Next you need to provide police certificates from all the countries you've resided in for 6 months and above since you were 18 years. See link on how to obtain PC from various countries below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/infORmation/security/police-cert/index.asp

Then you need to provide proof of funds for you and/or your family:

Number of
Family Members Funds Required
(in Canadian dollars)
1 $11,931
2 $14,853
3 $18,260
4 $22,170
5 $25,145
6 $28,359
7 or more $31,574

Note: Birth certificates are no longer required for applicants but are only now required for your child/children.

Wishing you the best of luck !

You stand more than a chance! Just take the IELTS more seriously because its determines how much score you get and how soon you get ITA, you can also start planning for your credential evaluation as it is written in the post you quoted.

it is for everyone who can make it to canada to seat for the exam. I did it and EE accepted it. i dont live in canada

Not really, your foreign degree and experience should suffice for most jobs. However, there are certain roles that may require some certifications from appropriate regulatory body.

Amen. thanks.

Hello Zandora,

I have been examining this Express Entry thing a while now, and all my realization is that as a single guy I'm only qualified for a maximum of 600points after looking through all the requirements and the point system. How easy is it for a single person to qualify? And how in the world can one nick 450points out of that 600?

Unfortunately you cannot apply for FSW using your Administration job because it isn't a skilled job. Your job should fall under noc skill A, B or O.

You can do it, people score above 450 all you need is Age & English on your side and God by your side

She can apply. Administration is a skilled job, falls mostly under B. NOCs, 1211, 1221, 1222, 1241 and 0114 for Administrative Managers.

Yes maam! Try and prepare for January tho. Long time! How have you been?

Thanks for your response, I intend applying under express entry and the last time I checked, I saw I was qualified for administration but can't remember if it was under federal skills, though heard both has been merged and can't remember which noc it fell under but it wasnt managerial though.

zandora:

The best age to apply is from 21 to 29, you start dropping points from the day you clock 30 so, I'll say you apply before then. If you have a Masters and can evaluate it fast enough, at least an accumulated 3years experience in your NOC and can ensure you score 8.5L, 8R, 7.5W&S, you should score up to 481 in your CRS and can be in Canada before you wake up from your dreams. Ensure you prepare for the IELTS and get that grade once. Meanwhile, the Canadian Deputy High Commission handles study permits while CIC handles immigration, so your study permit denial has no effect on your immigration paroles . Infact, I've seen people who were denied even under EE but when they entered the pool again the 2nd time, they got their visa I think in like 2months and the person just entered Canada yesterday or 2days ago so, you got no problem

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas and may the New Year be a Happy one for us all in getting our Canada dreams fulfilled in Jesus name.

Meanwhile, don't forget Jesus is the reason for the season. We celebrate Him on earth now but He will celebrate us in heaven soon. Give your life genuinely to Him today and you will be on your way to a place far better than Canada, which is Heaven. God bless you

What CIC said is that it should not have been issued more than 6months prior to submitting e-APR. This does not necessarily imply that a 3months valid PC as stated by the issuing authority will authoritatively be taken by CIC to have a validity of 6months(even if they choose to use what you presented to them) cuz they also said at the discretion of the immigration officer, he/she may request you to send a new PC. You may read the below:

Police certificates
Purpose

To determine if the applicant or their family members has a criminal record or poses a security risk to Canada

Document requirements

For the applicant’s current country of residence, the PC must have been issued no more than six months before submission of the e-APR.
For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the PC must have been issued later than the departure date of the last time the client resided in that country for more than six months.
The PCs are required upfront and mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for six or more months in a row. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional PC.
In some circumstances, CIC must ask for the PC on behalf of the applicant. In others (e.g., New Zealand), a client must complete a consent form to initiate a PC. Specific documents are required of the applicant for such requests and must be submitted as part of the complete application.
In exceptional circumstances, CIC may accept

proof of having requested a PC for such countries; or
a letter of explanation of best efforts (not a guarantee of acceptance)
Individuals who must submit this documentation

The principal applicant
Their spouse or common-law partner
Their dependent children 18 years of age or older, including non-accompanying

for countries that don't issue Police Certificate to foreigners and their embassies don't issue to non passport holder what's the way forward
