Hello All,



When is it the best time to book for medicals and biometrics, is it when one enters the pools or when one gets the ITA. My wife is the PA, 443 is her number(we expect her WES in by next week ending 19th Oct ) but timing is of the essence but by third week in December 2018, her points drops off. So how can we "haste" the process once we get the ITA?

Sissnene:
Will answer 1 be applicable in a situation where one has received a request for further medicals from cic?

Contumely:


How did you rectify please?

These days, people choose to get married and have children in their thirties,rather than at a younger age. Is this a positive or negative development?

This is today's Task 2 writing. What is the best way to approach this?

Thanks

@xtosync, @glitteringstar and @tojued

I believe the IRCC tweet is valid. It is a question of misunderstanding.

Yes the requirement for work during school is strict for the CEC program so that people will not cheat the system and use a student visa to claim work points. It also seems generally applicable for FSW as long as it refers to the minimum employment requirements i.e. B.Sc, OND, HND. You cannot really claim a job that you are not qualified for.

The examples in the thread including @dupyshoo are for PG. So yes, a lecturer doing M.Sc or PhD has already met the employment requirements since she has a B.Sc. I'm not too sure of the OND, but I think it may fly.

See @Qsola's link and @glitteringstar's response. https://www.nairaland.com/4212543/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/520#66386132
She did not really clarify and did not add it to her PPR gist.

See another case: https://www.nairaland.com/4212543/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/521#66387172

However to balance it, Section 80 of IRPR states that it is not mandatory for an applicant to meet the employment requirements for a NOC. But in practice (I guess to counter fraud) case officers do sometimes request for ADRs from applicants to clarify how they became qualified to practice a profession.

I did a write-up earlier, you can study it: https://www.nairaland.com/4657743/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/367#71787799

You can either agree that it's a positive development by saying settling down in thirties helps people to gain financial stability,career establishment as well as prepare them emotionally for commitment that comes with marriage.This should be your thesis then,you support these ideas in subsequent paragraphs.

You can also say it's a negative development then give reasons why you think so

GlitteringStar:



Still applicable if you will be comfortable doing an X-ray while pregnant. It all depends on you.

For those asking about biometrics, apparently you are not required to anymore where the one you provided is still valid......that was not the case when I did it last month, it clearly said you were still required to....I guess they changed the rule.

Mamaroon:


@Louie36 and @ijeaify

regardless of whether you already did biometrics as part of a previous student or visitor visa application....for permanent residence you need to do biometrics AGAIN....this is my understanding of this link (see below) ..sorry I don't know how to link it like @smslive2.

by the way @smslive2 pls can you teach me how it's done

....anyway it's only if you applying again for another visitor or student visa that you are not required to redo biometrics....

......hope this helps

My good people on this canada dream/journey...please come thank the ALMIGHTY GOD with me.
He spared the lives of me and my family from armed robbers on our way back from lagos, we went for PCC and medicals.I still can't praise the Lord enough for how He used our driver to safe us this afternoon.
We even came back to a flooded apartment (broken water pipe). I and my spouse have being mopping since we got back.
I decree that ALL who would be on the road and air for the sake of this dream shall over come ANY gathering of village people IJN. AMEN

Thank you...just checked the link you pasted and it was updated just yesterday. I guess we will have to get it done again.
Really appreciate the quick reaponse.

For Medicals, either will do.
Con of before ITA is that if you get COPR, your visa expires 1yr after the date of the medicals. So you calibrate your booking based on how likely you will get ITA.
Con of after is that space for medicals are highly competitive and you may not get the day you want.
It costs you nothing to book. If your IELTS is set, you can book.

For biometrics, you have to wait for the letter.

Hello people,

Has anyone successfully done WES with ESUT. I need a contact number to facilitate mine. plsssssssss

Franklyly:

Thank you so much, my profession was not on the EE list, so I will go with 2 or more. In the case of Degree and PGD, I will need to send only the PGD for evaluation right ?
