chinchum:But that looks like a US dollar rate, are you sure you registered on Canadian WES site? They charge in CAD dollar ke. |

cuteannie02: qstomiwa: I can only answer a few of ur questions, the answer to question 2 is yes, ur parent can get a gift deed drawn to that effect but they will hv to transfer the money to ur account too, cos u need ur own statement not theirs. 3, u only evaluate your highest qualification, dat should be ur degree, cost is about 322cad, if you are paying Wes for the fastest means of getting back to you, duration depends on u, and ao quickly your school gets back to them, usually a month or two. 4.to the best of my knowledge, u can't use IT cos they need experience gathered after ur education, as for NYSC some people claim u can if you can get a reference letter to that effect but personally, I am not too confident that you can. I will strongly advise that you go to the first page of this tread to read the guidelines and follow all the links suggested to answer all your questions. |

iphie25:Commercial banks are not charging CBN rate ooo, it is at black market rate. 78k was initially debited from my account, and i was frowning, 2 days after when typically such transactions are ratified, it moved from 78 to 91.5, my frown turned to crying ![]() |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by chinchum(m): 8:13am On Feb 24, 2016 |
olurotimi1:the sharp hit on Naira that plunged it to almost 400 /1 USD is the cause, ultimately, it affects CAD dollar too. |

Hello zandora, JesusDway and others, Great thread. Been following it keenly. I have done IELTS and my docs are now with WES, expecting their feedback so I can submit my EE profile. I have an issue with my Work experience. For my desired NOC, I have a work experience (both full time and part time combined) of about 11.7 months. I was there initially on a part-time basis for some months, then I did 8 months of full time. I have calculated it carefully, and it’s not up to 12 full months. This NOC is desired because it is closely related to my BSc (Chemical Engineering) and MSc (Process Systems Engineering) and it would be extremely easy to obtain the required documents, I already have work reference and pay slips. Do you think CIC will approximate to 12 months, or consider it insufficient? Also, I figured out that the 1560 hours is 30 hours per week X 52 weeks. I worked for 37.5 hours per week and this would be well over 1560 for the whole period. Can this make me eligible, or is their calculation based strictly on months and not hours? Alternatively, after my BSc I worked in an IT firm for 16 months which I can also use. However, it would be difficult to obtain documents from them, as they were not pleased with me leaving, and also they didn’t issue pay slips and also it would be another NOC. Do I have to stick to the NOC I applied with when I get to CA? Does it affect the employers that my profile gets exposed to in the job bank? This is because I would prefer to work as an Engineer and not an IT consultant. Thanks a lot people. Expecting your comments. Please advice. |

Please find below answers to your questions: 1) You will need PCC from both UK and Nigeria. This is with the assumption that you have stayed up to 6 months at a stretch in UK. PCC will be requested from you when you get an Invitation to Apply. 2)You can't use your mum/dad's account. Tell them to transfer the money to your account and get a letter from them indicating that the money is a gift to you to support your immigration to canada 3) You don't need to evaluate WAEC. Just evaluate your highest qualification. 4) I am not sure about IT but NYSC will count if the job experience is under NOC 0, A or B. Please bear in mind that you will require letter of employment from the companies you worked with. The letter of employment will contain details such as job title, detailed job description, job start date, no of work hours per week, permanent/temp, full time/part time, Salary among others. So, do not include past job that you can't get the required information from your employer. Payslips are not mandatory 5) I am not. qstomiwa: 1 Like |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by dupyshoo: 11:07am On Feb 24, 2016 |
CIC will not approximate work experience. The requirement is 1 year of FULL TIME work experience. You will need to get the letter from the IT company in order to qualify. You can get your former supervisor or someone from the company to write the letter for you. iceberg54: |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by vcole: 12:42pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
hi dupyshoo. pls as regards letter of reference from previous employers. is there a time limit to its validity as regards EE applications? Can it be dated months in advance of an EE application? Same question for a PCC from a country one formerly lived in but is not presently resident in. Thanks. dupyshoo: |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by dupyshoo: 3:22pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
I believe letter of reference from previous employer you obtained just before you left or after you left the company should be valid. The aim of the reference letter is to verify one's job experience and duration of the job. This is what CIC says about PCC from countries you do not live any more "For countries in which the applicant no longer lives, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the client lived in that country." vcole: |

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by GboyegaD(m): 6:25pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
JesusDWay: I decided to quote this to give you my little suggestion @Noblealuu. Why not encourage her to process her Masters admission in a school with funding options and you both then get married. She could then apply for an open work permit for you to come work while you study. That way you become the primary applicant and the overall process faster. 1 Like |

40manlappy: Based on mutt experience, it is most advisable she applies directly to a PhD otherwise, she could either state she has a Masters and face the risk of been rejected outrightly or get lucky to be considered. However, her chances of funding is slimmer. |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by noblealuu: 7:14pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
@GboyegaD, Thank you for your awesome suggestion. I did a health-related course. Boss, these developed countries don't joke with their health system. It's quite stringent especially for foreing-trained graduates. Yes, you are right! I'm planning doing an abridge kind of course when I get there to enable me do/pass their professional exam with relative ease. Meanwhile, I'm equally considering Australia as an alternative all things being equal. God bless JesusDway, for he that watereth shall also be watered, you won't be a cast away Sir! ![]() 1 Like |
