Do you need donation for your NGO?

The person that compiled this NOC checklist is just a piece of work o. I just got to realize barbers and hairstylist belong to NOC B whereas Customer Service Representatives belong to class C. I am just thinking out loud and wondering the rationale behind this.

johnnybravo1990:


Congrats bro. I am so glad for your result. I will be humble here; when I saw your only essay sample, one day to the exam, I already knew you had writing in the bag, and that you didn’t need much guidance from me. I only gave you my blessing, and maybe one or two tips, like you said. When I see someone who will excel in IELTS writing, I know them straightaway, just by reading the their essay. If you could remember, I said you were better than me in writing, as at when I did my exam, and your result confirmed it: your 8 versus my 7.5. I’m glad you passed the other components as well. All the best bro.

I believed in the Nigerian dream until I graduated from school. However, I was never interested in any 'back-door' process.

Thanks guys for your prompt response, may God continue to bless you guys. I have really gained alot from your contributions. Another question is what if after marriage I do not want her to accompany me immediately because she's still in school, do I have to provide POF for 2 people? Secondly can you guys add me to a group for express entry. Thanks and a happy easter to u guys.

Hello house, I have been following this thread occasionally but finally ready to make the move. My wife is going to be the primary applicant based on CRS scores however we need clarity on the following:

Her current passport with her maiden name expires in 2021, will it be wise to start EE profile with it or better for her to get a new passport showing her marital status with new name before we start the EE profile?

Thank you.

SOME THINGS TO NOTE FOR FUTURE "AVORIANS"

1. AVO is not the VO for "crooked" applications like people think. so if you ever find yourself there, don't over-think it, they just like to work at
their own pace.
2. Support groups are great, try to join at least one of these groups. If it becomes too much (sometimes it can be), remove yourself from the
group(s) and go back after taking some fresh air.
3. A good idea is to do a certification while waiting (might not be that easy as the wait can be daunting, but just try).
4. Try not to put yourself under pressure by putting a timeline to the whole thing (PPR, departure). Trust me, AVO has a mind of their own.
5. Don't try to analyse "AVO trends" or what you think is trend, there's no one size fits all with AVO.
6. Finally, pray while waiting. This is the most important point.

Topsmamen:


Congrats. Thanks for the AVO tips. I hope @raphrulz and @ladymarshall give you extra marks for this . I don't trust them anyway.

....”you have 33 minutes left, you should be on task 2!” At this point, I was inundated and confused because another failure could be lurking around the corner....I had stopped writing.Breathing in and out, I gathered strength from within to start Task 2 at 31minutes to go.Why should wallowing in self- pity strike after exams again? Needed to write for 26 minutes as it is a must to reserve 5 minutes to count my words.By the time I got the last paragraph, the word “dissolution” was spelt as “desolution” but I couldn’t figure it out after several attempts.Had to leave, I was blank, clock ticking and my darling 5 minutes had turned 4 minutes. Counted and recounted my words for the whole 4 minutes.After the exams, I found solace in the word count because I never made it for the previous attempts.

DonTee07 and Wasseynewest, you showed me one of the essence of existence - to be compassionate. DonTee07, I slid into your pm after you offered to review a co- nairalander’s writing and no offence was taken.For four weeks, you were relentlessly on my case irrespective of place and time.The encouragements, criticism, banters, showering admiration on my handwriting and why I should lure the examiner with it in the introduction....can never be forgotten.When I mentioned my “desolution” case, shoving it aside by saying band 9 essays also do have errors doubled my hope.I’m bereft of words,my prayer for you is between me and the almighty.
As for you Wesseynewest, what you sow shall you reap.How many whatsapp group do you administer? You are one of a kind...selfless, down to earth,pragmatic,balanced and your voice/voice notes are the bomb! The last one the night before the exam was the icing on the cake.
I had been a nervous wreck since Wednesday night,so while everyone was trying to check result Friday morning, I was pacing around the house. Ate 5 mangoes before 8am,and took tours around the house for the umpteenth time.By the time it was 1pm,assumed BP had dropped. Smiling sheepishly, I started inputting my data but the two eyes were closed immediately after submit.Releasing one of the lids, I looked down at the writing row... there was a slant on top so definitely not a 6 something, the second lid automatically opened.

First attempt L R W S: 8,7,6.5,7 ( @ Ifeoma, Joo2018 and co were encouraging)
Second attempt L R W S: 8.5, 8.5,6.5, 7.5 ( @ Pyruveluv, you helped with my EOR without knowing me, may you always find favour. I would rejoice with you too. And by the way, you can tear the damn TRF with you.Good riddance to bad rubbish! EOR with BC took 11 weeks and came back negative)
Final attempt : L R W S: 9, 9, 7, 8.
God sent all these people to me including the person that encouraged the use of Write&improve.After 3 attempts with 6.5, I slid into somebori’s Pm.CRS now 451,hoping for ITA before my birthday 19th May....my hard earned 5 points must not vanish.May the odds favour us all.
God bless Canada
God bless Nigeria too sha!

I believed in the Nigerian dream until I graduated from school. However, I was never interested in any 'back-door' process.

It all started with a visit to the Travel section of Nairaland sometime in 2017, I found and read through the process for Australia, I left it for a long while came in October 2017 during my search I found the process for Canada. I researched about life in both countries and their processes and settled for Canada. I read page 0 of part 2 and 3 and started following the thread from part 3. In February 2018, I decided I was ready.

Eeyah.

1. Pray and hope the score comes down. I will pray and hope with you.

2. I don't know if it is still practical for hubby to do ielts against May, but I think he should prepare at least for after. 440 is better than 436.

3. You might need to start exploring options. French or PNP.
What is your CRS? Alberta or Ontario may call.

flosk:


Have you used 2 or more degrees or masters?

If not consider Cima.

You can also consider French route

Edmontonlad:
As long as reason for refusal is not a criminal one, you don't have a problem and you must state them while filling your App.

Biko, you can also wait for the response of the elders. I am still a learner.

I will do a comprehensive post on what I think I might have done right and drop the links to materials
