Thanks AMBAKO, i am very positive and hopeful. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I would also like to know which state in Canada has the most demanding ICT for network engineers.

Fortissimo:


Nice one. Abeg wat exchange rate does this translate to?

Dhejy:
52k, that's relatively a good one. But what was the total value in dollars?

ugoiyke79e:
hello everyone, i am newon the thread. much respect to the seasoned gurus here. congrats to all who received an ITA recently. pls keep us all posted especially with respect to the POF. i wonder what it would be like wit d current exchange rate.
I am planning for ielts having just got my ECA(It took ages to get).
does anyone have ielts bomb for me? thanks .

SlowlybtSurely:


Let me come in here.

I'm in a regulated medical profession too and had to make enquiries. You do not need to be licenced to apply for PR (except you are going through the PNP route). You only need it before you can get employed in your profession when you get to Canada.

I'm the principle applicant and plan to start the registration process for licencing from Nigeria once I submit my application post ITA. That way, I will be left with the bridging program and final exams on landing.

I suggest you apply. Try to max out on your IELTS scores, so you can get a good CRS, enough to receive direct ITA without going through the PNP route.

For IELTS Australia prefer General not Academic, however, you would still need to score 7 band in each of the modules to stand a chance of migrating. This is because your wife's occupation (Accountant and financial auditor) is highly competitive for Australia with applicants in the 65 points range stuck in the pool for several months. Bottom line, you need all the points you can get, and a 7.0 band in each module fetches you an extra 10 points, 25 for age (she is 33), 10 points for experience (8 years would have fetched her 15 points, but she has got 7 years), 15 points for degree. To shore up your point, you may also lean on state sponsorship to get additional 5 points.

The 50 point I wrote about was for Canadian PR. Applicants with a minimum of 2 or more degree ECA and a CLB band of 9 in IELTS are entitle to the 50 additional points under transferable skill. Bringing this home to your spouse situation; she has got a Masters and a CLB of (10 in listening and speaking, 9 in reading, but 8 in writing). Because of her CLB of 8 in writing (IELTS of 6.5), you guys lost 50 points. If she re-attempts IELTS now and scored (L-R-W-S --8-7-7-7), your CRS would jump to 400+ and you can easily go the PNP route.

Personally, I think the best option is for her to re-write the IELTS, considering her performance in the last attempt. She got pretty close. In fact, you guys should have considered re-evaluation before the expiration of the review window; apparently, it's too late.

In summary, which ever option you settle for (Australia or Canada), she would have to re-sit for IELTS.

Honestly, with your wife's ielts result, don't give up on Canada yet. if

About 170-174 USD the rate keeps fluctuating. Might hv changed some more b4 I paid

cuteannie02:


Please I am unclear about something, is there a clb10?, I thought d highest is CLB9. Please kindly clarify. Thank you

Dhejy:
Is WES fee 170-174?

yinx007:


oya start prepping.. the least you can score is 8777 to break the language score. start trying to get your wes in order too by having your transcripts sent own... what debit card did you use for payment

zandora:
To those of you wanting to post the copy of your degree certificate to WES, you could scan it and email it to me so I can post it for you as it'll be faster and way cheaper - that is if you want though (I'll do it for free obviously and send u a copy of the receipt). I'm doing this to show my appreciation to those who told me to be patient in my job search and not give up because I've now landed a nice bank job

Dhejy:
Hello Zandora, Nice job you doing here and we all hope to scale through as you have set the pace. Please i have sent you a mail concerning this quote/assistance you willing to help with so i can forward my cert to you. Thank you [/color][color=#006600]

zandora:


Didn't receive any email from you. Did you use your id Dhejy? Have you already paid for the WES and have been given an id? Ppl send me their certificates without paying WES which results in me not being able to send it to WES. Please if you are sending me your certificate to post for you make sure you've already paid WES then provide me with the WES id and address.

iphie25:

It's 233.91 CAD, that's d USD equivalent.

vcole:
This is still about NGN222.31 to CAD1.00 way higher than the official rate which should be in the 148s/150s. Really this March 1st NO banking day that is being organised should come quickly. our commercial banks need to stop ripping us off.

bubsykay:
@ dupsyshoh, Zandora, JesusDway and other bosses! What kind of test am I suppose to do for the medicals. I called 2 doctors and they said different things. Are we suppose to do syphillis and hepatitis B and C? One of them just gave me a list of each test and cost to shop the ones I want to do.

dupyshoo:
Use this link to find approved doctors and call one of them to book an appointment
http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx.
Although, they should be aware of the kind of medical examinations but tell them you want to do an Upfront Medical Examination for Canadian Permanent Residence application. My medicals was classified under Family-EDE but I have seen people whose Medicals were classified under Worker- NON EDE. It does not really matter so far the correct medical examinations are completed. The tests carried out for me are as follows:
501 Medical Examination
502 Chest X-ray Examination
707 HIV test
712 Syphilis Test (VDRL or RPR)
Please note that for some countries, they might require more tests. Some people mentioned that they did Hepatitis B and C. I am not sure if it in mandatory for some countries. I did not do it and my Medical status is "passed" since October

JesusDWay:


Are you sure your calculations are right? Check them again. Meanwhile, the fee for transcripts in each school differs and as such, you have to find out what your school's is. You can use FedEx for courier, it's about the cheapest and it's very very effective, costs 10,100naira and gets there in 3working days. You should print the Transcript Request Form from WES website, fill your part and give school to fill their part, you should also include copy of your certificate with the transcript and send everything together. Use your ATM to pay on WES website and make sure it's WES Canada website you use, and the one for 'ECA FOR CIC'

Meanwhile folks can also use fax to send copies of their certificates(not transcripts o!) to WES but ensure you quote your reference number on it if school is delaying with transcripts.

Thanks a great deal. She has registered and would be writing the test in 3 weeks. God bless!

Garykasparov:


You should have sent an affidavit along the birth certificate to WES to buttress your position. However, the way it is now, i guess you still go ahead and get a court affidavit or notarize a photocopy of ur birth certificate, and include a LoE on this matter when you apply, then pray.

Refreshagain:


Good evening JesusDWay, kindly confirm the fax number for WES Canada. I saw 416-972-9004 and 212-739-6100 via Google. Not sure which one's ok to use. Thanks bro

aykanbi:
Good evening house. First post here but been lurking forever. Pls is it possible to add spouse to profile after ITA.

amokemi:
Good evening house,

Trust we all had a wonderful day today.

Please I need the input of my elders in the house.

I got an advice from Manitoba province to submit my application based on the EOI I had earlier completed. My Manitoba Sponsor is my wife's uncle and I need to provide evidence of familial relationship.

Will the birth certificate of my wife's uncle and my mother-in-law showing the name of their parents suffice as enough evidence?

Kindly advise please.
