Medicals and Police Report done. Can answer questions on how to go about these two.

I would be in Lagos on wednesday for Police report. Can you guide me please

Hello my people,
Happy new month!!!
May God bless us with progress in all of our endevours this month in Jesus name.
I have some critical post-ITA questions
i will appreciate responses from seniors of the house.

1. I have been on this Journey for a while now, in 2014 was when i got my 4yrs reference letter from my former employer, i like to ask if this is tenable or i should seek an updated one?
2.I got a fund of N1million naira from parent as support, do i upload the gift deed now, or only when i am asked to prove y source of fund?
3.Also, i intend to upload just my FD certificate as my fund, no statement, will this be fine?
4.When uploading Passport, is just the bio page or all pages with immigration stamps.
5.Lastly, is a reference letter from present employer necessary to upload even when not claiming point on it.

Awaiting your kind response.

Happy new month to you too.

1. Your reference letter should still be valid if you are not claiming points for work experience on the same job after 2014. However, if you can get a new one, please do.
2. Upload the gift deed, don't wait until you are asked.
3. It worked for few people but I won't advise that. The implication of this is that you are claiming you don't have any bank account. Try to include your bank statements as excluding it will likely raise suspicion that you are covering up debts.
4.I uploaded all the pages of my passport but bio data page, visas pages and entry should do.
5.Nope.

Thanks bro!!
Do you know anything about Occupational Health? And it's prospects in Alberta.

Apart from Nait/Sait what are the other good diploma schools for health-related courses.

I presume that occupational health would be great in Alberta because of the several engineering and mechanical firms abound.

Thanks again,

Occupational health is good when oil was booming. I cant say what the situation is with occupational health these days. It was a very popular career choice just like PE and business analyst.
Just like timhortons said...bow volley college college is good for nursing related diplomas, but sait/nait seems to be the only polytechnic in alberta offering the courses below:
Medical Sonography
Paramedic
Health Information Management
Medical Laboratory Tech
Medical xray Tech
Nuclear Medicine Tech
Rehabilitation Therapy Assistant
Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory tech and medical xray tech are very good programs if you can get into it.

dustydee:

The pay for chief engineer on the site seems low @ $88k or is there more to the pay than what was listed?

.
That job is for a building operator. They are the lowest paid in PE. They get paid around $25 for starters. PE's take building operation jobs as the last option, but building operator jobs now very hard to come by too due to oversaturation of PEs. That 88k is what an entry level PE working in utilty, oil and chemical processing would make in a year without overtime. My work place starts PEs on $46/hr at 48hrs a week, and our entry pay cant even be compared to what is paid in the oil industry. When i first moved to sask, the pakistani guy i shared a condo with was a 24years old 3nd class PE working for an ethanol plant 40km from regina. I frequently saw his payslip, and he made quite an amount biweekly. He graduated from a business diploma from ontario, moved to sask and self-studied for PE online, then moved to a bush in northern sask to start his career as a 4th class. One good thing about PE is that unlike other engineering field, one does not even need a science background to get into it if one desires.

i would love that. Can you pm me the number please

Yes, you can do it without an agent.

The cost depends on the size of your family. Check this my post for a rough estimate of what it cost me https://www.nairaland.com/2624318/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/151#47723290

Starting point is to take your time to read from page 0, understand the system, strategise on the best way to go about it and then START.

Lol!! 7500 is a bit high. You can get it done for as low as 3k. It all depends on your haggling power

I know but I just wasn't in the mood to start arguing. Actually budgeted 10k for it so I didn't bother with plenty story. You've been of great help ma'am so far, just wanna say thanks again. You'll still hear from me plenty.

It was poorer compared to my 1st attempt

Listening 6.5, Reading 8.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.5. Overall: 7.5

Not too surprised about Listening because Section 3 threw me off balance and I knew it wasn't going to be so fantastic but the Writing part amazed me. I was confident of my writing and expected minimum of 7.

@boldinc: I wish

Thanks man, you see actually, Health Information Management (health informatics) is what I even prefer and crave. Occupational health is second option...

But my friend also says it seems the catchment for HIM is low and lower salary. I would have preferred this because of my flexibility and skills.
Right now I am working as a medical doctor, but I also build professional websites for hospitals, pharmacies, businesses) so you can imagine how I would fair in HIM course, it would be very easy for me with good productivity....wetin u advice?

I am just trying to face the reality of the fact that it's difficult to write medical exams and clear all quickly.

So the medical related route is my option.

Lastly, what's the salary pay per year for occupational health and HIM

@bigheadday

As rightly advised, you don't need an agent. Doing that may end up complicating matters for you. This is a DIY forum with plenty success stories.

Kick-start application for your credential assessment NOW, don't procrastinate.

Prepare well for your IELTS. All the best!

@40manlappy.... Thanks boss! I'm doing my speaking test tomorrow and writing the rest on Saturday. I will update you wen it's done and state the result here too. Thanks Man

Hello Everyone,

A new draw was done today for 434 points. Has anyone received an Invitation to Apply yet?

We will ace it this time @40manlappy. Re you going to consider the Ontario OINP if ur score is up to 400? Mine is 401 and I am considering that option but the cash shaa.

Secondly, My previous employer refused to address my reference letter "To Whom it May Concern". Do u know the address I could ask them to address it to?

Thanks

Yes @bolded

IMHO, you can pick any of the addresses on CIC website. I don't think that it matters.

Lastly, what's the salary pay per year for occupational health and HIM

Then why do you want to go for diploma program? with all the coding skills you would learn in the HIM program, the max u would make as an HIM is circa 60-70k per year if you are lucky to get on an health service employer. Whereas a family physician in sask or alberta could make as much as 250k per year. The time you would devort to studying for a diploma could as well be used in studying for your licensure exams. It is doable... There are lots of naija doctors in sask for example. i was in a city called estevan south of sask, and out of the 20 docs in that city, 15 were nigerians. I begin same for Weyburn about 12 out of 18 are Nigerians. There was even a naija husband and wife doc sef in either of the cities sef. You would encounter Nigerian doctors all around the province and Canada...the trick is to start from smaller cities and town...Abeg no dull yourself ooo...

olandofire:
Thank you for this post. I think I will start considering Alberta now. My PR application was approved 5 days ago. Please do you have any advice as to which province a young medical doctor should settle in? I have had no clinical experience but I have a masters degree in Physiology. I am interested in Research and Academics and hope to get a masters in public health or biotechnology

olandofire:
Thank you for this detailed response. I just finished studying medicine in Guyana and my PR application was approved 5 days ago. I intend to land in canada by the end of May this year. Please concerning the POF at the airport, do I need to show proof of the entire money required while making my application? I am coming with my wife who intends to leave as soon as possible to complete her studies in Guyana. I was thinking of carrying just 3000 usd along with my statement of account from my Guyanese bank, will that work? Thank you.

I know sask and i think nova scotia both have program to accelerate MDs into family health positions in rural communities or small cities within a space of 3 to 4 years. Due to the nature of my work...i travel alot around sask and over 50% of the doctors are Nigerians. You might want to research on those special programs in sask/nova scotia. I am not sure if other provinces have such programs.

Your pof of 3k in cash should work. Not sure bout the statement though. I converted mine to bank draft but they did not even ask to see it. They only counted the cash i had on me.
