I greet all gurus in the house. its such a wonderful experience reading all the questions and answers in this section. I am planning to migrate to Canada under EE with my wife (in view). Our Registry is in view months time though. Have read through their site for info but still need you guys opinion and experience. Gotten my eligible IELTS scores and same as my spouse. Am on the process of evaluating my certificate with am using my Masters to front and like 5 years experience in my profession. I did manual score calculation with all the 6 selection factors and its amount to 70 points. My question is: 1. Should i evaluate only my Masters Certificate or with Bsc. To get my masters transcript sent to ICAS is easy for me but for my Bsc is will be hard based on the tight nature of my work. 2. Can I start and submit the application now before getting marriage cert as a single and upgrade later or wait till i go for registry? 3. What other supporting documents do i need to complete my application Gurus in the house please help out. |

Hiyah, Good that you and your spouse have done IELTS. As you have confirmed your eligibility (over 67 points). You also need to check your likely CRS score as this will determine if you will be invited to apply or not. Use this link below to check. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp It is not compulsory for you to evaluate your BSc, MSc alone is sufficient. With regard to waiting for your registry, you will have to make a decision about that. You can decide to wait for your registry and include her. This will likely reduce your CRS by 30 except if she does IELTS and evaluates her certificate as well. You can also decide to proceed with application and add her after the registry. If you recieve ITA before the registry and apply, you can always add her anytime during the processing of your application. adegbiteboy85: |

Thanks Dupsy, just followed your link, i got 373 as my CRS. What's my chance or minimum score? Does she also need to evaluate her certs since am the principal applicant? What other documents do i need to gather before applying? |

@Olusegunoni. To be sincere, you do not need a consultant. You can always bring whatever questions you have to this forum and the gurus are more than willing to assist. Using a consultant will not give you any edge. Olusegunoni: |

Hi guys, kudos to all the gurus in the house. Please, I am in the process of evaluating my credentials with WES. My Unilag transcript was delivered to WES yesterday but that of my OND is yet to be despatched by my school. My questions are: 1. WIll WES go ahead to evaluate my degree while awaiting the OND transcript? 2. What point will I get for evaluating both or my degree only? 3. Peradventure my OND transcript is not sent, will WES go ahead to do the evaluation or I have to instruct them to go ahead? Kindly give answers to the above questions. Thanks and God bless! |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by beyunce(f): 8:54pm On May 26, 2016 |
tundechange: Wes will wait for your transcript and they will verify both before they begin evaluation. You will probably get evaluated for two or more degree and get, 128 points if you are single 119 points if you are married. Wes will not go ahead with evaluation. Unless you instruct them to evaluate without your OND. 2 Likes 1 Share |

sorry for d late reply. i support vcoles points. notarization shld involve sighting of d documents. u need to be careful not to misrepresent urself at any stage. ... just start on it and am sure u ll be ready for d SVR request in no time.[ meanwhile, congrats for starting d mcc process sef. it means that in about 3mnths u will be ready to create an EE profile. i will pm u. quote author=esosa4real post=45979121] Thanks for this info @ugokiye, how are you doing and how is your waka going at the moment? (what stage are you now). I finally started MCC in terms of making an account and paid the 278 dolls. I have filled up my profile and even the Source Verification request! I haven't clicked "finalize" because I want to confirm from you if its possible for me to do my notarisation from Nigeria even though I currently reside in Saudi Arabia!(that shouldn't be a problem right?) I say this because this place ehn, I have accessibility issues and takes time to do anything official. So i think it will be faster if I scan all the documents (certificate, passport data page, passport photo and signed consent/release form to Naija). Lastly, if i choose Naija, must the originals be cited? because my international passport is with me. Anyways my certificate sef is in Naija, and I can scan my passport photograph right? Pleas what do you think/advice. Thanks!! cc: @vcole [/quote] |

veleta: Sorry for asking are you a doctor or pharmacist? This are the steps for evaluating your B.pharm STEP1. Register and create an account at www.pharmacistsgatewaycanada.ca, you will have to choose a province and pay ($325 + tax, if applicable(tax applicable if paying with Canadian card if not no tax) STEP 2. Go to PEBC website( http://www.pebc.ca/) and read the instructions for document evaluation and follow the process. let me break the pebc document evaluation for you alittle 1. Your transcript sent directly from from your school directly 2. LICENSING statement , from PCN if your currently licensed directly to pebc 3. Notarized means of identification,change of name if applicable and application form with document evaluation fee$550CAD,International money order or bank draft - Drawn from a Canadian bank if your applying through paper, but Nigerian applicant are advised to apply online if they can Hope this helps, let me know if you need more help. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Why is your score low since you have MSc and more than 3 year work experience? What exactly did you get in your IELTS? Yes, she will need to evaluate her certs and write IELTS as they will allocate 30 marks out of your CRS score to her. If she does not, your score will be low. To answer your question, the minimum score that has been invited since the beginning of Express Entry is 450 and for the past 2-3 months, the score has not gone below 460. adegbiteboy85: 1 Like |

@ Pinkygrace,I can't thank you enough.pls,I would want your candid advice.is it worth it pursing EE in Canada for someone who is currently working in Federal Teaching Hospital as a Pharmacist with three years experience and less than 30 years Pursing this EE is capital intensive and don't want to abandon it half way.Thanks once again |

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Pinkygrace(f): 2:49pm On May 27, 2016 |
veleta: Well from your profile you have a good standing, all you need is a good ilets score(CLB9 and above)so you can get at least 450points and that will give you some edge, i dont know if you are married or not. Once your license in Canada(that requires hard work in passing the exams, which is do able, the way this Indians ace the exams ehnn you go fear) it will be worth it. start now and focus on it, document evaluation takes about 2months, after they get all your documents depending on how fast they are and volume of application, i sent mine in December, got acknowledgment of receiver in January and document evaluation was complete in march.. AM also trying to do mine, just that school work is crazy for me, once am done with school work by July will write my in English test and then enter the pool. cheers 1 Like |

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by vcole: 2:57pm On May 27, 2016 |
to be honest, you are the only one with the answer to this question. It all boils down to what your long term life and career goals are and if you believe moving to Canada would be a step towards achieving them in comparison to where you are now as well as if you are willing and able to meet up the financial demands of the PR application process as well as the costs of settling down in a new country. Relocating for all health professionals is not quite so easy as you know, this is because without a license to practice our degrees are almost useless.So, you need to properly assess the time it would take you to pass the boards and get a license then the availability of jobs. In a nutshell, I am saying you probably need to do more research as to how life in Canada is for an international pharmacy graduate. veleta: 1 Like |

It is not compulsory. But if u want more points, it's advisable that both of them writes it. So I will advice that they should both write IELTS, so as to get more points.... #myopinion. back2dmatter: 1 Like |

Hello great people! I have been following this thread for a while and it has bee quite informative. Please I need your advice on Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. I entered the EE pool in February with a CRS of 452. The recent ITAs have been trending up and I am considering having my wife also entering the EE pool. She has a cousin in Manitoba who is willing to support her application to MPNP. My question is does she have to state that I have applied to another province since this will mean losing 100 points in the MPNP score? The truth is I chose several provinces as possible destinations in my EE profile. I will appreciate your counsel on this issue. Thanks in advance. |

veleta:The EE is actually the easiest and cheapest part. Getting the license to practice in your profession is the big thing in Canada. Not just for Pharmacists alone but all regulated professions like physios, nurses, doctors, accountants, engineers e.t.c No one can answer your questions. Life is all about risk. I heard of two directors of pharmacy working in teaching hospitals in Nigeria who took the leap of faith. One now has her license and the other is still preparing for exams. You are still young, and with just 3 years of work experience. The sky is not even your limit if you are ready to put in the effort and work. At the end of the day, it's your decision to make. Just to let you know, the qualifying exams are difficult. some people never got past mcq and most never got past osce. But that won't be your portion if you work really hard and back it up with prayer. You must be ready to study hard and really know what pharmacy practice entails not that stuff we do in Nigeria. I heard an OAU grad say all the stuff he was taught back in Ife Pharmacy were only good enough for the very first exam. Do not rush them, there is a limit on how many times the exams can be retaken except if you are on some sort of limited stay visa. That is why EE is the best option for you. The successful IPG's I know in that profession spent an average of three years to get the license because there is not really a syllabus for the exams unlike in countries like the UK where a diploma from some uni would make transition easy. What I would advice is that: do apply for EE, if dem choose you.then you can begin writing the exams one at a time while still holding your job in Nigeria. Once you pass all and left with just internship (usually secured through networking), then you can begin to think of relocating. Not all of us are good risk takers so I understand your plight. May God grant you success in your endeavors. 5 Likes |
