LRWS 8.5, 7.5, 7, 7.5 I believe my ielts journey has ended as quickly as it started. The tips here were invaluable. Thanks all

N.B I'm considering a remark for writing as I expected more. Crs is currently 435 and the extra 3 marks I can get could make all the difference. Any advice?

needy:

Good People of NL,

My Dh second name differs on Transcript and International Passport. Eg Arinze and Arinzechukwu.

I was advised that Affidavit of one and the same can suffice.

My question is,

Please at what stage of this application process, do we need to provide the Affidavit for one and same.

Also should he upload the said Affidavit with his Degree certificate while sending his document to WES.

Please help me out.

ejobeh:
Hello house, please I need your help.

I am a welder, with 3years experience
The only certificate I have is my O'level.
My Oga did not issue me a certificate after training.
Someone advised me to obtain 'Trade Test Certificate' from Ministry of Trade and Commerce, Nigeria.

Can I use that for EE, if not what should I do?

ejobeh:


Does WES evaluate "Trade Test Certificate" ?

Dammiehar:
No mention of it at all, since it is an optional document

It should be valid for one year but I don't know if when u still have it, negates that condition.

There appears to be a dearth of information surrounding PNPs and just as @codew0rks mentioned previous attempts at creating a PNP thread was shut down. Notwithstanding some members on this thread got their PPRs through provincial programs. Here's a link to some useful information about PNPs culled from Part 1 thread

https://www.nairaland.com/2624318/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/144#47208212

I felt I should give an overview and summary application costs for PNPs that DON'T require a job offer. However most of them have target occupation lists but generally in the NOC 0, A or B categories similar to the Federal requirement

- SK $300 (Saskatchewan has an In-Demand Occupation list)
- NB $250 (New Brunswick is currently targeting occupations in IT AND applicants must show connections to NB by attending an information session or studied in NB)
- PE $300 (Prince Edward Island has no specific target occupation list)
- MB $500 (Manitoba Skilled Workers Overseas have no specific target occupation list BUT applicants must show social ties - have family, friend or studied in Manitoba or attended an information session)
- ON $1500 (Ontario EE Human Capital Priority Stream has no target occupation list but applicant must have CRS of 400 or more to be invited)
-NS No application fees (Nova Scotia Demand EE Stream- Category 2 has a target occupation list)

Also be aware that some of the various programs are selective about certain ECA assessments that they accept. In addition to sending your ECA to IRCC you will also be required to inform your assessing body to send a copy of your assessment directly to the PNP program once you receive their ITA/NOI otherwise this may delay your application for provincial nomination

- SK/PE/MB/ON/NS accept all IRCC designated ECAs (CES,ICAS,WES,IQAS,ICES,MCC,PEBC)
- NB accepts only CES, ICAS, WES, MCC and PEBC

The current processing time for PNPs on the CIC website is stated as 6 months(same as FSW). However there's no hard and fast rule for how long it takes to receive a provincial nomination once you submit your Expression of Interest - obviously this would vary from one province to another.

Note that the various programs have different PoF requirements some even lower than CIC's but applicants would ultimately be required to show funds that comply with the Federal scheme when submitting to CIC for their PPRs.

Generally, PNPs have a residency requirement that the applicant intends to live and work in that particular province. However it's still being argued that the 2 years residency is not mandatory. Take NB for example which requires applicants to sign form NBNP006 'Declaration of Commitment to New Brunswick' but doesn't clearly specify how long you are required to live in NB after showing yourself to the NBNP program officer within 30 days of your arrival in Canada.

Section 6(2) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that a Canadian Permanent Resident can move anywhere within the country.

Section 6(2)
Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:
a) to move to and take up residence in any province; and
b) to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

Hopefully more information would become available in coming posts to help intending applicants successfully navigate the PNP process as in the case of FSW.

Best wishes

I just started researching myself, so I don't have much information at the moment. check the links on page 0 for PNP, go to the different provinces and read on what's needed. I am awaiting my IELTS test results so that I can start agressively pursuing this route. Hope this helps and please, keep me informed on any updates.

UPDATE: stealth02 just became an answer to prayers..he has summarised the whole PNP process in an easy understandable format. May GOD bless him deeply!back to the drawing board.

ayodeji2017:

Thanks so much stealth02 for this detailed information. Pls, if i may ask, are you on the PNP route. Did some research yesterday and we are considering prince edward island programme. Did a mock assessment and it seems this will be an alternative for us. I will appreciate if you can give us more information anytime you have them. Attached is the PEI asssessment form for anybody that might want to give it a trial.

XX01:
It took 4 weeks before it changed to approved. 28days exact. Then took another week to get the PUM. I think they sent it out in batches.

JesusBabyyy:
