Ok. Thanks for the information. We have checked our best possible score with and current academic qualifications and highest band in ielts...it's 408.
If any of us commences an MSc program now by the time we finish, scores will reduce because age would have increased.

Writing French is an option.

PGD has shorter courses.

BCS and CIMA

Sponsoring a younger sibling if you have the money after PGD.

PNP.

Alberta seems to be dishing out a lot of NOIs.
All the best ma'am.

Start the search for an additional certificate like Pgd, and max out IELTS (L8.5 R8 W7.5 S7.5) same with your husband. You will be on 435 at the end of the Pgd(age 37). Who knows the CRS might reduce, or you might get PNP. If the score is still high, try TEF and attain any points that would take you above 440.

Edit:NOUN MSC is one year, so that can take you to 442

In nutshell, start NOW

Cheers

Big congratulations joo2018!!

Have you seen a man diligent in his work, he will stand before kings...not mere men.

Your success just began!!!

I remember one of my first questions...it was about the new Quebec EE and joo had the answer, your responses are always thorough, meticulous and detailed.

I mean....look at the short time difference between ITA and AOR.......this one was prepared.

God bless you and yours.

Congratulations!

���������� indeed the Golden mail has landed. This Canada waka started in 2017 when hubby wrote ielts in December shortly before I had my first son. I wrote mine in March L7R8W6S7.5. Crs 380. A friend invited us to this group and we realized that the ultimate score for good crs is 8777 and the younger the applicant, the juicer �. The responsibility fell on me to become the p.a. I had to brace up to tackle listening and writing. Fast forward to June 2018, second ielts attempt L8R8S7.5W6.5. Oh!!! I wept, we proceeded for remark and after about 8weeks of anxious waiting, it came out unchanged. Before I knew it, I took in again(chai, who send me msg na ��) i started attending class in order to defeat writing. After the rigorous exercise, September came and I had the worst result ever L8.5R6.5W6S8, I was broken, discouraged and tired. Thank God for a supportive spouse who kept speaking positive words in my ears. Infact he proceeded to book 2 consecutive exams. Come October 13th I smashed L8R7.5S7.5W7 ��. We couldn’t ask for refund because the result came out a day before the next exam. I went in for the oct27 and I waved goodbye to ielts in style L8.5R8.5W7S7.5 ���. With a good ielts score+below 30+masters+3yrs work experience, crs 474. We dived into the pool in Nov and here is the timeline.

Dreaming ke? Where do you think I am typing this from? Sis I am in Canada, landed there last December when I first heard about EE.

It's just my flesh that is not there yet. Everyone who landed Toronto airport must have seen me at the lounge waiting. I think I said hi to some sef.

Topsmamen:


Yes boss. NOC 6235 fits your JD.

Many thanks!

Please , i have a question....When applying for the Express Entry, do i need to have a relative in Canada to be qualified?

if so,

My wife is the PA because of how efficient she is in english and qualification but it's my cousin that's based in Manitoba....can she stiil say she has a relative in Canada?

Thanks in advance for a quick response.

Funkety:
Hi, please have u got any info or progress o. This, I'm in need of the information as well.

No I haven't gotten any.

BukyAb:
Hello everyone. I have been going through a lot of comments here and I am so glad I stumbled on this page.

Reading about many people getting ppr is boosting my faith and I'm hoping I can share same good news soon.

Pls ild need your help to know if there's hope for my family.

Ild be 36yrs in May, have only BSc in Civil Engineering but work experience of 2.5yrs in IT. Been a baker for some years and been doing my own business.

My husband will be 37 yrs this April, BSc in Petroleum Engineering and about 10yrs work experience in same industry.

Pls do we stand a chance of immigrating to Canada or we should just stop trying?

Thank you as I expect your professional advice

I don't want to say something and my oga at the top would say something else.

So to clear all doubts I would say Kindly visit Page 1 here

Yakay:


You have nothing to worry about. I know I have read on this thread about someone who used this, can't say the particular part.. The letter should state that you work on a full time basis and the actual company you are outsourced to.
Contract staff is no issue at all

me that i'm licking snow in my dreams already

ummhalimah:



I have not gotten ITA and I have been dreaming of the snow in Calgary.

Thank you so much. The link was useful

ladymarshall:
For your type of contract, you qualify.

The contract staff is mainly an issue with CEC applicants where there is your type of contract (which is eligible for EE) and the "independent contractor" contract (ineligibile). The latter is not common in Naija.

Since you were on the direct payroll of your company, you are good to go.

If you want to apply for the Manitoba PNP, you can ask on the PNP thread for better info but she can claim points with it. For FSW, you cannot claim points for a cousin. The relative has to be a sibling

Quite sad, so many people are excited to flee their motherland to help grow and build up a white man's land. It's just like what my friend used to say, 'immigration is modern day slavery except this time they do not have to forcibly chain able bodied men to slave ships or rape our women, they just make it easier for your youngest and brightest minds to simply emigrate in droves'. Who will build this country if you all leave, have you ever thought of that? You think once you run to Canada you will still have any reason to return home? How about your kids? Do you think by taking them to Nigeria for 3weeks vacation will entice them to one day relocate to their father land? Sure nobody thinks about these things. The biggest problem the black race has is selfishness while the white man thinks about the greater good of a community. Everyone only thinks about what will benefit them and their family and that's where it ends. Even in the so called abroad, your fellow Nigerian will not want to accommodate or guide you because they think you will be better than them. Common info about schools, work or getting certain government documents, your fellow Nigerian in the diaspora will not help you. White countries and white people In general are successful because they collaborate and help each other. U.S, Canada and the UK are amongst the most developed countries today due to strong trade and military alliance. A white employer will hire a fellow white man for a lucrative job position before he hires an immigrant with the same credentials.

Before anyone says I'm ranting because I was denied Visa or whatever PPR thing you guys relish here like a lottery ticket, I also used to think abroad was the be all end all after graduating from university. I also hustled and eventually left Nigeria. I made $265,000 that year working several overtime hours (I have the W-2 and tax return forms to prove it) but I was never really satisfied because this part of me kept feeling like I betrayed my country. It takes a special kind of person to self reflect and then decide to walk away from a lifestyle of adequate security, good health care system, great schools, cheap food and law & order but without any sacrifice, Nigeria will perpetually remain a 3rd world cesspool. I moved back, got a job and started a mentorship and scholarship program where we find youths whose families are unable to pay their elementary and secondary school fees and we partner with local businesses to raise funds for these kids. School isn't for everyone, we also train several kids in IT, carpentry, plumbing, construction and mini importation. Has it been easy? No. Do I sometimes miss the convenience of my 2 bedroom apartment in north Los Angeles? You bet I do. But do I feel accomplished knowing that I'm making a positive change in small ways that will alleviate poverty, possibly reduce crime and put more food on the tables of a few Nigerians? Certainly.

The UN needs to look into countries like Canada that take advantage of the dire situation in Nigeria and prowl on our brightest and youngest minds for the sole purpose of developing their country and replacing their aging workforce. Just today, their Prime minister was begging President Buhari to give him 1 million Nigerians. This just sounds like the year 1756 where the white man met with local chiefs and traded silver, mirrors and gun powder for African slaves. While I know most of you have made up your mind to flee your motherland, the least I can urge you to do is to find reputable charities and NGOs in Nigeria and donate to them once in a while. Goodluck.

Hello everyone,i know ive missed a lot of gists.congratulations to everyone with one good news or the other. Pls who has a sure-fire contact for passport booklet anywhere?the closer to Lagos the better though..pls help somebody!Anybody!

.

oh ok... Thank for the Information......having a relative is just going to increase the points.....likewise getting a province invitation.

For someone who claims to do a lot of things, the least you can do is verify an information before posting it. The story about Canadian Prime minister begging Buhari for 1 million Nigerians is fake.

Next time verify an information before continuing the trend of sharing fake news.
