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...


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.

Alot of Nigerian doctors have benefitted from both programs.

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.

Wow! This is good news. May this trend continues before PNPs start flooding the pool

Dear Friends,

According to forum topic I found that we are discussing and sharing a lot of other stuff with each other. Its not bad but we must also keep focusing on possible reasons of rejection before application as well as during the processing time. I start creating a list of reported reasons of rejections you can add more reasons in it or just send me new reasons in inbox to create a useful database.

1. Job not specified as full time and permanent employment
2. Failure to upload ECA (even though it does not ask for it on the upload page)
3. Passport scan missing or incomplete.
4. Missing Proof of Education.
5. Missing original PCC.
6. Incorrect NOC
7. Duties Mismatch
8. Submitting PCCs with specific addresses mentioned
9. Not providing "certified true" transcripts for Canadian degree/diploma
10. POF less than LICO

Congrats to all that have gotten ITA and best of luck to those expecting.

With the volume of ITA's being issued out, its important that post ITA, we do everything possible to ensure that the whole process ends up successful.

Came across this on another website and i hope it helps..Others that have passed through this phase please help verify what can be modified or added.

Thanks for this very useful information. I have two questions though -

Please what is ECA? Is that the WES certificate?

I don't understand number 8 Re: PCC with specific addresses mentioned. What addresses?

alt3r3g0:


ECA is Educational Credential Assessment. Yes it reffers to WES or IQAS etc.

For the PCC..from the site, it was mostly indians that were affected based on the format for their PCC.

esosa4real:


Thanks boss! You just restarted my brain!!
Lol.....250k per year is not beans!


We keep hearing different things and just like I was told, you have confirmed it take 3years minimum to get ground as a doc....

But how man go survive till then? Do these docs do menial jobs in the mean time. Truth is that I am trying to look for a situation to avoid menial jobs by maybe schooling on PR-low cost fees and then studying for exams + even studentjobs........(i hope you get me, based on WIN\WIN situation))

Any ways I got your point about the smaller cities. I will begin to research this sask and novascotia. I was looking at Alberta all these while based on recommendations.

Thanks Bro, you sha understand the flow. Will pm and add you on a later date so we will discuss.

For now I am still in eAPr stage, but information gained.

shinarambo1:

no worries bro. keep in touch. the 3 to 5 years is not fixed. Its just like a normal distribution curve. There would always be exceptions or those that will fall outside the curve. You may only be able to study for something esle after completing your diploma.
Power engineers with atleast 5years experience in the oil, chemical process or utility with overtime could also make such amount easily. That is one of the major reasons people rushed into that career path till the market became saturated with PEs.

True Vcole but I out of all the Nigerian doctors i have come across in Canada, only one of them does not desire to practice and thats because she has an MPH from Havard and a Phd from another American uni, so she chose the academic route. All others are either writing exams and the ones in practice are mostly family physicians while a few are gyna and psych. Not sure why those are the popular choice.
All regulated profession in Canada has issues not just doctors. Even crossing across province has It's own issue too. My spouse is also in the health profession, and for her to practice in a differnt province, she would need to write a jurispundence exam and one other exam. Engineers nko....takes the grace of God.

I was just suprised at why esosa said he wanted something less..that to me is like settling for less sha. one can always work while preparing for exams. My former family doc (a nigerian) said he worked security jobs and studied all night on his shift when he arrived canada about 15 years ago. He said that was the only survival job that could afford him to study while making money at the same time.. i dont hope for security job for anyone but i am sure that there are jobs out there that can be combined with preparing for professional exams. If esosa chose HIM or any other route, those courses require dedication too, and he would not have time to study anything else or even work part time due to assignments, test, mid exams and finals.

Congrats to all those expecting an ita in this highly unexpected draw. With the latest trend showing a marked increase in itas, I will like to admonish all who have received ita before now to kindly do all that's possible to submit on time. It's a no brainer that processing time for applications would begin to get prolonged due to the increase in the number of applicants. Also, it's advisable to submit your application before summer when the bulk of student apps start getting priority at visa offices.
This is just my subtle note of warning to some of our peeps cc: boldinc, esosa4real

esosa4real:


True though, you and vcole have made valid points and that's the reality of things.

I see it this way that, the fear for the issues @vcole mentioned is why I am trying to be proactive because like she has explained in details, it has it's own issues but not impossible......All these fear of the unknown prompted me to start researching for options not like an intentional settle for less.
Well, I am still in the process of researching information as regards medical job opportunities and will have to make informed and better decisions.
Thank you very much for your inputs.

For those who submitted, with gift deeds, did you also submit addition documents with the gift deed e.g bank statement of the person providing the gift?

Also has anybody being able to get the bank letter in the specified format from GTB for savings account?

sammyacbxyz:
With the current trends, scores should drop to 400 by end of April, 2017 at 2-3 draws per month and at the falling rate of 6-7 points per draw. Who also sees this coming?

@Bimpsy99: Thanks for the encouragement. May God grant us positive testimonies soon.

Congrats @Nogen and all those who got NOI/ITA

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!
