No need for "attitude". Read and Google. They are trying to reduce the pages to things more meaningful than repeated answers.

I meant let's see how the process with the recruitment agency will work out and if you get LMIA. I also referred to the fact that some agencies ask applicants to pay fees upon fees.

Hello house! Just want clarifications. I have aBSc from one university and an MBBS degree (Medici e/surgery) from another university. I saw in an earlier post that a Pharmacist did not need WES to evaluate his degree instead its the pharmacy council in Canada. Can I use WES for both degrees(may save cost-2 stones to kill 1 bird) or I need to evaluate my MBBS with the physician and surgeons council of Canada, then evaluate my BSc separately with WES or just evaluate only the MBBS which may score higher on CRS?
I feel using both degrees will increase my scores . although I'm applying for Canadian Masters now. Thanx

donluis:


Gurus in the house I'm still awaiting any answers or comments please. Thank u!

Blackbuddy:


The process could take from some weeks to a number of months. Another challenge is the cost to employers. LMOs used to be $275 but LMIAs now cost $1000 each so you can see it has to be a serious job before an employer will shell that much out. And they have to prove that the vacancy has been advertised for at least 6 months in Canada and they couldn't find anyone to fill the position. Let's see how your situation works out, just stay on top of every demand that is made on you especially your personal details and financial implications.

Which test were you asked to take?

tundechange:

Well i started this journey last year with the help of my Sister In Law but was discouraged due to my low IELTS scores then L-6 S-6 R-5.5 W-5

Now i'm ready to start everything all over again and here is my profile.

Age: 24

Language scores: L8 S8 W7 R8

Qualifications: National Diploma

Years of experience: 2 years

POF : 1m but i have willed properties that i can sell to complete the amount stipulated for singles.

I will be starting my WES evaluation this week but i'm afraid that my Diploma degree may affect my eligibility or scores or the Diploma may not be accepted.

Gurus in the house, what do you think? should i continue with my application or move on to complete my BSC degree ( I just gained admission through direct entry into a Fed Uni here in Nigeria).

Hi all, please in the IELTS speaking test is there any right or wrong answer? As long as you speak on the topic given even if the point you are trying to make isn't correct? Just want to have it in mind as I prepare.

There are no wrong or right answers. What matters is your ability to "flow" on the topic, so to speak. Even if you are talking "nonsense", just try to be fluent and use good grammar. One trainer even said that nobody cares if you are lying, just stay on the topic

Don't worry about going overtime; you would be stopped anyway since the session is timed. You should not give the examiner the impression that you have nothing to say.

It has also been said that vocabulary matters too, so you can try to beef up your vocabulary.

temitope06:


Your ability to speak and flow correctly in English Language is what they are after. However, be reasonable enough in ur answers. They can't ask abt A and you keep talking about X, you get. For example, they can ask you to talk about the last time u travelled out, u fit never comot una compound but formulate a realistic travel story to a country where u know some things abt, based on diff stories u have heard.

Hello House, so I am extremely bothered about this link I just read.
http://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/fc-cf/decisions/en/item/223933/index.do

Please read it.

It's about a Gtbank staff, Infact 2 that were banned from Canada for 5 years because of misrepresentation.

So my question is, please is ther anyone's on this forum that worked with Gtbank that is successfully in Canada or does anyone know anyone? I am extremely bothered. The thing is the bank does not give a letter stating what we do, just our level. Please read and advise o beg you. I am confused.

So the thing is Gtbank gives only a letter of introduction as If you are going to the Embassy. They state that you are an assistant banking officer that joined the bank in maybe August 2013. They do not state your job description or your job title which was the problem. So do you think using the introduction letter along with an LOE will suffice? And in the LOE one could state that the bank does not give a letter of introduction or reference as expected from CIC. Also is it okay to please ask the Gtbank person you know what letter they used.

Thank you







I was initially speechless just like @dannio but then, I am aware of a GTB staff that has successfully relocated to Canada.

IMO, you don't have to be "extremely bothered". This incident should be an eye opener to the rest of us, especially those working in the financial services industry.

Like @seedgie observed, it could be a case of NOC mismatch plus apparent submission of letters that did not originate from GTB's HR. Note head office's reply;

"please note that the letters were not signed in line with the Bank’s mandate and as such we are unable to confirm same”.

This made the visa officer to conclude that the letter was fraudulent.

This shows that they do confirm, at least, some of the supporting documents post-ITA. We must try to be as honest and transparent as much as possible to avoid a whopping 5 year ban.

If a letter/document is not obtainable, we can get alternative documents to support our claims and do a LOE.
