Just a few words of advice/encouragement as you conclude plans to land especially with regards to work settlement.

1. If you decide to continue in your current line of profession& there is a certification for it,please DO IT especially if it can be done from Nigeria. E.g PMP, do it from Naija, Bankers with branch/RM experience, do the CSC exam from naija if possible worse case, plan to take it immediately upon arrival,it goes a loooooong way to help.

2. Search for career events&register if its few weeks to your arrival.

3. If you decide to change your career upon arrival & you haven't started say taking exams etc before arrival, remember you don't expect to be on the same terrain or have the same audience from recruiters here as the person who has started.

4. If you a RM in a Naija bank, remember to change that title to Banking Advisor here because that's what it's called. It soo helps

5. For anyone planning to be a Business Analyst & you have never been one, decide which type of BA (Iat, Operations, Strategy) you want to be,take free courses online to understand the lingo+CBAP

6. Head of Operations/HOP/HSS, pls note you can't be those roles in Canada because it doesn't work like that. What of thinking along the line of Internal Control,Audit,Risk, AML etc?? Just saying!

7. YOU CAN GET A JOB THAT PAYS SAME OR MORE THAN YOU ARE EARNING IN NIGERIA. JUST COMEFULLY ARMED& PREPARED!!


Am sure we have heard most of these things before, however a lot of newly landed still fall into these categories & it hurts gannnn..

God bless!

Thanks

WES doesn't evaluate MOST professional/job-related courses. They usually require an academic transcript. See this screenshot and link for more. https://www.wes.org/advisor-blog/which-credentials-does-wes-evaluate/

But I heard they accept BCS?

DoWES consider BCS 1 as additional certificate?

BCS can be considered as academic, not necessarily just professional. It comes with a transcript.

Some professional courses just have a certificate of completion or something. WES usually requires a transcript.

That's why I highlighted the word MOST, as there is some room for interpretation[b] on the part of WES.[/b]

Hi missmoroti how is canada?
If the person is a contract staff I don’t think they would issue a reference letter but if he or she is a professional staff they should be a way with HR...However the person can write his/her JD attach his Id, payslip, and a copy of the email sent from HR stating clearly that reference letters are not issued to staff.

Canada is fine o! Summer has finally arrived in toronto! Thanks hun.

He is actually a full staff o. And HR refused to give him letter. They said they dont issue reference letters unless he is an exstaff.

Congratulations Hephgirl

His Supervisor can write it on a plain paper and sign. Then include his business card.
That's all.
CIC actually mentions reference letter from your IMMEDIATE supervisor. You can confirm this from their website.

Nitrobenzene:

The Center in jos is their only accredited training provider in nigeria. U can call them,check their number online.

That supervisor will be in soup if he/she dares write any letter on behalf of the bank, at least i know with with a certain bank. Reference letters must come HR only, Unless VO’s don’t confirm.

Sir, you mean he has no right to right on plain paper?

Never heard of this before. When a normal colleague can even write that both of your work together etc.

More So, that letter is not written on behalf of the Bank.

Good evening all,
Please can one still do change of name after biometrics? Got married and application got updated to married and spouse added. Please, I am trying to change my last name to hubby's own and also change my passport to reflect the new name. Has anyone done this before? I am asking because I have already done biometrics with my maiden name.

Why not leave this thing simple and uncomplicated. You have many years ahead to change your name to your husband's mbok. Just get through first.
