Hello Everyone,

I am new to this thread even though I have read from page 0 to a point. I recently passed my IELTS LRWS 8.5,7,7,7.5. I started my ECA with WES since september. LASU delayed the verification process and the status on WES currently is "in progress" I will like to know if;

1. Do i need to wait for ECA before taking any steps?
2. Using the CRS calculator my score is 416, Can this work? or what can I do to boost this point?

Looking forward to your response.

Hello everyone,

I am amazed at the extent of information one can gather here. It is better than anything an 'agent' can offer. This is the beginning of my sojourn on this platform and this Canada journey also. I have read through the page and I have a good knowledge of all that is required. Kudos to you all. I have a few questions that I would appreciate answers to please:
I am 33 and hubby is a year older. I am aiming to be the PA since I have 5 more points in age and also getting employment reference letters would be easier cos I have had only two employers as against DH's 4.
So one of my questions stems from the fact that I have an MBA via distance learning from a UK university. Although my degree certificate does not state that in any way, I am worried that it may not be accepted bearing in mind the extract I got from the CIC site on document requirements. See below:

In cases where an applicant’s background information suggests that a Canadian education credential may have been obtained via distance learning either abroad or while present in Canada, it is at the officer’s discretion to request for supporting documentation.
If it is determined that the applicant obtained more than 50 percent of their education via distance learning, the applicant should not be awarded additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points for having a Canadian education credential. If the reduction in CRS points results in the applicant having a score below the minimum CRS, the application should be refused per A11.2
&
Applicants are instructed to indicate that their education was completed by correspondence by typing in brackets {by correspondence} on the same line as the education institution name found in the Education Background Information tab of GCMS. The discretion remains with the officer to decide if a police certificate is required for the country of the education institution

2.) Furthermore, I also need to know if I can use the job i did 4 years ago as my primary NOC instead of my current job. (I am having some issues deciding with my current job-next question explains why)

3.) Do you think I can use Credit Manager 0122 NOC. My job details in the past 3 and half years has been as a Retail & Credit Risk Analyst. But under the Lead Statement for the said NOC 0122, it states that is for "managers". I am only a 4th level officer in my bank although my work entails approving credit requests for disbursements and everything related to processing credit requests. I also supervise other junior officers. Will they raise an eyebrow due to my level? I am not a middle or senior level officer. I am thinking NOC 1212 but I am not sure that cuts it.

Apologies for my long write-up. I don't want to keep disturbing you guys with questions. Please help me to make a decision.

Thank you.

@chiobich
The paragrapgh you referenced in relation to distance learning study being acceptable or otherwise is in relation to DL study from Canadian University and if points will be awarded as having studied in Canada.

Evaluate your UK MBA and bracket "by correspondence" in front of your institution name when filling your forms, it will be accepted and awarded points in same manner as a foreign credential. You have nothing to worry about.

@elfmann, you must have read the same thing he posted up there, so there is no such thing like escape

revlane:


Sending and confirmation was smooth with WES. I think I sent between 18k-25k to a friend who did it for me last year.
I can contact him if you don't wanna travel down

sleekysilk:

You have good scores. and
1. YES, you need to wait for ECA before taking further steps
2. 416 is a bit on the low side but CIC can still surprise us with low draws. That aside, are u single or married? If married, your spouse may need to take IELTS as well and probaly also get ECA done to support your current scores.

I assumed you are with Bachelors degree and with age 32 I got 419 usin the CRS calculator. Check again, because one mark is important in this journey

Jades27:
Yes I am, Ok I will check. I prolly didn't calculate well.

The 3 points difference is most likely from one of the IELTS components she selected, that's where a band gives 3 points more than the previous band.

Jades27:
I just checked again and still at 416, dunno if there is anything else I am missing out.

sleekysilk:

Ok. But sincerly, there's little you can do to improve your CRS. you already maxed out the scores for speaking and listening. Even if you retake IELTS to gain maximum points for reading and writing it's just gonna be an additional 6 points. i.e from 419 to 425. And I cannot say it's economical to do so. Therefore, once your ECA arrives, enter the pool, sit on your 419 and keep hope alive that CIC will do 'christmas' for us and do lesser CRS draws hopefully before your next birthday.

Cheerssss.

temitope06:


Bro, That move has been cancelled sharply. I am now in a position to steal public funds without getting caught so i'd rather do that than move to canada. Abi wetin u feel?

Hard truth here. Though 425 looks more a comfortable zone, if the IELTS is retaken, how well can one guaranty that one or the two components already maxed out will not drop to acceptable base? Part or all the 6 points aimed for becomes lost.

Other factors where points can be gained is somewhat a stretch - additional degree; OND, HND, MSc. If already enrolled in a Masters programme, how soon will you be completing? Sure you would not forget to claim points from sibling if you have a PR sibling.

You won't be questioned. Your gift deed should state (among other details) that you're given the money for your relocation plans. So, you actually received it in preparation for that relocation. Your gift deed kind of supersedes the affidavit(s), the gift deed without the affidavits might just be sufficient. Lets wait for others opinion.

Can getting a provincial nomination increase mt chances?
