The road to Canada through express entry (EE) is now somewhat difficult. Canada is beginning to tighten its immigration rules...For instance, if you don't have a FULL TIME job offer from any employer in any of the province, one's chances of entering the pool is zero unlike before. Even the provinces too have towed the same line. Probably, it might be an indication of the visa program coming to an end.

I have good credential assessment, over 7 years job experience and IELTS but no job offer resulting in the EE wizard returning my application as not suitable. From my understanding, anyone who is just getting into it should go through the province by trying to secure nomination before applying to CIC...Or is there any way out a

dupyshoo:
1. Yes
2. You can do it anywhere you want. However, please bear it in mind that it is better to do medicals close to the submission date of your application so that you will have more time to land after PPR. This is due to the fact that you have to land before your medicals expire which is usually a year from the date of the medicals
3. Yeah
4. Reference letter that contains all the required info will suffice. Any other doc such as appointment letters, payslips, ID cards etc are not necessary.

My dear..... If you know the brainstorming i have been doing ehn....hmm.....I am scared of getting things done fast and properly in Saudi. VERY DIFFICULT place....To get PCC self na war, Medicals is done in a very far place, will have to travel two days to the hospital, My POF will be complete in March....so I will likely submit latest March 30th!!

Honestly, I am considering not to go back self and just sort every here in Naija but then again I would then become jobless.....lol

Read the page 0 of this thread. Most of your statements are wrong.

You said most? I only said just one which is the job offer. However, talking about reading in retrospect, that I have done and informed my post.

I won't mind someone clarifying it since we are all here to learn and assist ourselves

Hello houde....please do we need to get another instruction from CiC before we do medical exam test after getting ITA.
Secondly, please who know the hospital they do the medicals in ABUJA or is it only in lagos and how much was the charge.


Thank you.

Being an oldie that has watched the canadian immigration programs go through different changes. i would say there has never been a time that it was easy...The only thing that has changed at the moment is that younger highly educated immigrants with good language skills are now being given an edge over others.
Immigration programs are dynamic. The factors could still change anytime..you just have to keep yourself updated.

Sasks,Manitoba and Nova-scotia do not require a job offer before nomination. Same as Ontario. Most people (if not all) on this thread do not have "full time job offers" and we dey pool, or hv gotten ITA or PPR or in the process.
All u need to get into the EE pool is 67 out of d 100 point criteria.

You don't need any instruction. You need to upload you emedical slip before you can submit your application. Once you receive ITA, you print out the confirmation and take it to the hospital with your passport

Hello Peeps,
@ dupysho, @ Vcole, Blackbuddy & Other experienced Folks here; Please do I need to upload a POF document before being accepted into the EE Pool?

Is POF Documents a requirement(Compulsory) for EE Profile acceptance?

I reckon all I need to get into the EE Pool are the Following;

-ECA (If Applicable) and a Language Test Result. POF Documents, Police Clearance,Medicals etc comes post ITA , right?

Correct. for the pool you only need ECA and language test.

Hi. Well, i'm sure you've already done a bit of reading about xrays in pregnancy, if you haven't then you should so you are informed to make a decision you are comfortable with.

Generally, most diagnostic imaging tests are at a radiation dose that is deemed not harmful since the individual isn't exposed to it regularly. In pregnancy, it is advisable not to get an xray done because of the developing foetus.....

That being said, if the pregnant woman needs an xray done for diagnostic and treatment measures, she would be given a lead apron to wear during the procedure. This should further limit radiation exposure.

The choice for you to get an xray done is entirely yours in this situation....otherwise you have the option of doing everything else and then getting the xray done after you are delivered of your baby(ies).

If you were to ask my personal opinion, if i were the one, i would most likely get the xray done with the apron and get the medicals outta the way.

cathymia:
Thanks @dupyshoo for the info...I saw you mentioned on someone else's post that medicals should be done as close to the eAPR submission as possible...so it's ok to submit 2-weeks to the 90 day deadline right?


Has anyone on here gotten a Police Certificate from Ghana? (as a Nigerian, non-resident of Ghana)?

@vcole can you please offer some advice on medicals/pregnancy/eAPR submission...

i would advise you get your medicals done here. cheaper and faster. its valid for one year.

Hello guys,

Hello guys, i must say this forum has really been helpull and educative.
I have a pressing concern and would appreciate a genuine clarification.

I signed up online for the IELTS exam slated for 11 February in PH and I'm at work (offshore) at the moment returning in 2 weeks.

For the need to make payment with bank draft, will it suffice to send someone I know in maybe Enugu or Abuja to submit the draft in either of the British Council's office on my behalf along with scanned copy of all required documents?

I'm deeply grateful for the expected response.

Hello everyone,

I got a reference letter from a former employee, and while I wrote that i worked 45 hours per week for the company in my EE profile which can no longer be edited, my former employee wrote 40 hours in the reference letter given to me.

Please I hope this won't be an issue, or be classified as giving the wrong info.

Also, the job title i listed in my EE profile (finance officer) is different from what is in my reference letter (finance administrator), though the job duties and responsiblities is that of a finance officer. The reason i didn't put finance administrator in my profile is because the job title is not included in any NOC.

Please I want to know if i can change my job title to what's in my reference letter in my ITA profile, or if it doesn't matter.

Kindly assist.

Thanks

yes you can submit the draft in any of their office , when the person is submitting he should go with a copy of your passport, bank draft ,write your name and reference number behind it. within 24hrs it will be processed

If you have a provincial or territorial nomination, please follow up with the province or territory that agreed to
nominate you, and have them confirm to us their intention to nominate you for the Provincial Nominee Program.

You must get confirmation of your nomination, register for Job Bank, or update your profile with a valid

These are my questions;

Since i am waiting for my wife to sit for ielts so that i can boost my score, is it not better not to register with the Job bank?
Does it mean for instance, where i do not get a job or secure nomination within the specified 30 days, I can not use my ielts and credentials assessment report again for a fresh application?

Please experience members should help.

Please register for job bank within 30days....theres no need to worry; your EE profile will be valid for a year!
