TEECANN: Thanks for your kind words, my contributions here are just my little way of giving back as I too was helped along the way and I`ve long since learnt that our strenght lies in our community/collective succes so wether we like it or not, we need to look out for each other especially in Canada. Like I earlier mentioned, due to some mix up, my wife and I did not get an invitation for the classroom training on time. The next available class would be for when we would have left Nigeria so they scheduled an online session for both of us. My wife took a day off from work while I logged on from my office so we were both together on the online conference call with a counselor in Canada. I recommend both the PA and spouse to attend the training together, it is equally beneficial and helps you both have the same perspective on things. That way, when decisions are being made on the family`s future here, you both understand what is at stake and what options will be best to choose. It is wisdom when you say that people should pack their minds with information as they pack their luggages with their belongings. The pre-arrival programs will prepare you for some of the cultural shocks and put you at ease so that you are not uncomfortable with change but more receptive to the difference and how things are done and how they should be done. As simple as learning the difference between a cv and a resume can make a big difference in how you market your self for job search. Knowing that Nigerian job interview style of displaying that you`re technically sound on the job is not enough but that you also need to identify, groom and project your awareness of `soft skills` which is a major focus in Canadian job interview. A lot of our people get to a job interview here and they hear, `you don`t have Canadian experience`, they get deflated and defeated and just stumble through the rest of the interview and that ends that. If they had gone through a pre/post landing training program, they would have learnt that that question is the biggest help they could have ever had in that interview! It simply means ``convince me that inspite of your foreign experience you can work here, you can fit in``. That question is where you now say something like `yes I dont have Canadian work experience but I understand the niceties of the Canadian work place and I`m aware of the importance of mutual respect, tolerance, collabaration and diversity. I`m bringing my wealth of experience and unique perspective on what this role entails to enhance and enrich the way in which things are done. I`m very adaptable and teachable and I take every opportunity to increase my skill level so that I am constantly improving as an individual in order to bring efficiency and innovation to my work. I know your organisation values diversity and innovation and as your colleague, you will find that I am a great fit and excellent addition to the team`. You see this small sentence/interview response here? That is what they want to hear, as simple as it sounds. This is what is meant by Canadian experience, to know how to work among Canadians, to talk softly, calmly and enunciate properly. To have an awareness of the Canadian workplace culture and not to discuss race, sex, religion, age or status. To be professional but cordial, always thinking about the job first and not your self, projecting the spirit of a team player while bringing your uniqueness as an individual. Notice I didn`t focus on Canadian work experience but Canadian experience. They already know you dont have Canadian work experience before they invited you to an interview. What they don`t know, what your resume does not show is if you have `Canadian experience`, if you will fit in to the organisational culture they already have, if they can spend 8 hours everyday with you, sometimes in high pressure situations and not regret hiring you. The above is just a little of what people stand to learn from the training programs. Please, don`t be persuaded by relatives and friends here who tell you not to bother with the trainings but just launch yourself into the job market. A smart person is one who takes advantage of the trainings and still chases the jobs together, at least, you will gain info, knowledge and confidence and hit your target more efficiently. If we will but humble ourselves and apply some of these principles, success will be the result and the journey will definitely continue in praise. Hope this helps. 82 Likes 21 Shares |

cochtrane: Just to add another perspective to the discussion. Like I already mentioned in my PPR rant, I only got a one page letter from Credit Suisse a couple of days before my ITA stating all my accounts, date they were opened etc (i.e. following the CIC guideline) and my balance on the day the letter was printed. Thus, in my opinion there is no way to know if I had a lump sum deposited a day before the letter was printed or not. Note to all. I'm not advising people to start circumventing the process (if CIC catch you and slam 5 years ban on you for lying, Santion1 no dey abeg). Just though I should enrich the discussion. 3 Likes |

Omodadi2:The first thing you should do is evaluate both and then observe what WES (or any other agency) has stated as "Canadian Equivalency". For your degrees, this is most likely gonna be 'Bachelor's & Post-graduate diploma' which will earn you "Two or more certificates". 1 Like |

Thank you everybody I'm so overwhelmed with the messages. Thank you so much! I imagined how I would feel on this day.... I'm so overwhelmed that it seems like I'm not as happy as everyone is for me. Our application: Hubby is the PA but still I handled everything from WES to POF. I had a bout of insomnia at some point ( thanks to FBI as I submitted one set of fingerprints.) Thanks to @yokus for helping me stay sane lol I used the LOE to list and explain all we had submitted. I submitted xe pages to convert our POF and lock it down. I submitted pictures of my sibling and I at different points of our lives ( I claimed points for Canadian sibling) including specified documents (mortgage bills, driver's license, passport, marriage certificate etc) When we finally submitted we were asked for travel history for hubby and resident permit for the years he lived in the UK. (This shook me as hubby had 5-6 years in the UK where he had no resident permit) We explained the issues with home office on a letter and the issues he had with his Uni and fees etc and he still had to finish his school since he had eventually sorted out school fees but Home Office still refused to renew the visa. After his studies he came home. I scanned and uploaded previous permits, school ID and fees receipt for his MSC. We told the truth (long and short). Then I found out we had been transferred to London, I thought 'oh boy!' When I got the message to check the CIC account today, I thought what do they want now? Alas! It was PPR. I wish everyone the best on this journey. @40manlappy @blackbuddy @yokus and everyone that helped me along the way, I am so grateful... Thank you. 28 Likes |

Bambam4you:t Thanks Sir . I have spoken with him and he has explained the process. Thanks once more. However Sir , I am having issues with WES , and one needs to be careful so as not to waste money. I saw someone here narrating her friend's ordeal. 1) I schooled in 9ja , but i cannot see my course on d drop down , I only saw Diploma for the Course , so I had to type it manually , Is that fine ?.... is university higher education or professional higher education ? 2) When I chose ICAN , the drop down only brought Associate of the institute, I only have AAT at d moment. Do I need to type Associate Accounting Technician manually or I put Associate of d institute ? ? is ICAN AAT higher education or professional higher education ? Please kindly help me with the aforementioned b4 I make payment. Thank You sir. |
