It's either your consultant is lying or doesn't know the process. Your can claim 2 or more certificates with CIMA and there is a WhatsApp community of people preparing to take the exam. You can PM me and I will share the WhatsApp details with you.

Hello pls, am also interested in this..how can i join the group

Hi all,
I am aware that the COPR expiry date usually coincides with the expiry date of your medicals. My question is does the COPR expiry coincide with the date the medical was done, or the date that it was passed. I ask because I passed my medicals over 7 months after it was done.
Thank you.

Yep totally fine to verify just your masters.

Good day everyone, so happy to be here..Go through most of the posts...Really insightful.

I have a question, I am a pharmacist but also have my Masters degree from Unilag, do I still need to verify my licence or I should just use WES to evaluate my Masters degree, in other to save cost from going through PEBC process for pharmacist..

Thank you

You would be the principal applicant because you have a masters degree . If your husband has any degree he can apply with you and you can both write the English test IELTS ..... Your main sucess will depend on how well you peform on the test as well as your husband .

If your husband has no cert or if you feel he will perform poorly in the english test you might have to take the journey alone for now .

Theres a site you can calculate your score to check your chances and know where you stand, that is the CRS calculator ..... U can just type it on google and it will take you there . Scroll down and fill the form, it will tell you where you stand ....


Read from page one and keep reading till you become familiar with the things being spoken about here . No one can explain everything to you, ..just read and read ....

You would need to do a legal adoption. Check with the Ministry of Youth in your state of residence.

Hey Fam,

Since I am still basking in the euphoria of my PPR, let me shed more light on how it came through. smiley

Decision to Migrate: I have always been a huge fan of the Nigerian dream (If there is any) so I never really considered trying to relocate to the aborad. In view of this, when I finished from the prestigious department of Economics, Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife in January 2013, my desire was to build a successful career in Nigeria and contribute to Nation Building. Lol. grin

However, I was privy of this Canada Express Entry stuff in 2016 when I was running my Masters of Science Degree in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management in University of Lagos (Maulag) grin when a friend of mine hinted me about the process. I wasn’t really interested then so I didn’t move an inch about it. I was hell bent on finishing my program and so that I can start a 9 to 5 job in Nigeria but I got to know about Fiverr on nairaland (Dec 2016) so I started freelancing which gave me the opportunity to work from home and earn some dollars.

In March 2018, I started nursing the ambition of leaving Nigeria after seeing that majority of the haves (awon scammer)in Nigeria have either a second passport from theirselves and their children. I took my destiny into my own hands and joined a GRE group of students planning to study in the United States. After much deliberation, I registered for the exam with BY Mafit(#45,000) and took a 6 weeks tutorial. Truth be told, the quantitative and verbal aspect of the exam looked like arabic to me (lol) so I started to wonder what prompted me to register for the exam (who send me). undecided

On April 14, 2018 I ran into a childhood friend of mine at a family friend’s wedding. His mom left for the UK about 10 years ago so he followed suit few years later. He told me that I should give immigration a shot and that he would recommend Canada because of the seamless immigration process. He took me to his sister who asked about my work experience, age and academic qualification. I obliged by giving her a low down of my profile and she encouraged me to try this Canny package. wink

On hearing about the perks of moving to Canada, I quickly jettisoned the United States plan (the fear of Trump). Moreso, with the way the Visa shit be these days, e no go make sense to focus solely on God’s own country(lol.) Also, I will have to take a student loan to go to the US, hustle for H1B Visa, and start the laborious task of getting a green card( E de take over 10 years). E no just make sense to me. I just dashed the institute the 45,000 jare. Till today I never write the exam.(lazy boy). All was set for the tupsy-turvy Canada journey. shocked

IELTS - Hehe. First test of my resilience. In May 2018, I started following this Canny thread with consistent regularity. I quickly registered for the June 30, 2018 BC exam with the believe that I will ace it once. The crowd I saw in the 2 halls on that day blew me away. People wan japa oo. When the result was released, I thought I had passed because of the general idea that a M.SC will increase your points. Naxo, I relax begin de chill oo. Mehn, when I spoke with the elders on here, they calculated my points and told me that I will need to rewrite the exam. I came short again in the second BC IELTS exam (August 18, 2018). I thought I should have passed this exam. Furthermore, I quickly followed the school of thought that it is good write the exam almost immediately. Naxo, I gebe my body go do Sep 8, MOD exam ooo. My performance dropped. cry

First IELTS BC June 30, 2018 – LRSW (6.5,6.5,7,6)
Second IELTS BC August 18, 2018 – LRSW (8,6.5,7,6.5)
Third IELTS MOD September 8, 2018 – LRSW (7.5,6.5,8,6.5)

After my consistent struggles, I started to think that maybe this Canny dream won’t come to fruition but when I see the shambles going on in this clime I gave myself sense that it is too early to give up. If this is what I can do for my future generation, so be it. I did a self-assessment to identify my weaknesses. For listening, I struggle with map, the last passage in reading (28-40) wears me out easily. Once I hear 5 or 10 minutes to go, I lose concentration. Fam, naxo I take 3 months break ooo. I can’t dash these people my hard earned money again. I practiced everyday till Novemeber before I registered for the Decemebr 1, 2018 MOD exam. Ladies and gentlemen, inside the exam hall, I had the feeling that one of my legs was already in Canada. It looked like it was over. When the results was released, it was as if I won a jackpot.

Fourth IELTS MOD December 1, 2018 – LRSW (8.5,7,7.5,7) wink grin
CRS – 450 cool
ITA - Jan 10, 2019

ECA – I contacted some people on here who studied at Unilag on how to go about it. They came through for me by telling me to apply online and follow up at the Senate. I paid about #22,000 to Unilag to send my transcript to WES. Also, my Dad’s friend works as a Senior Staff so he helped to fast track the process. A friend of mine used his Paypal to pay for my WES fee and I paid for his him in naira via my Union bank account. On September, 25, 2018, I received by ECA report after several back and forth from WES and Unilag.

Reference Letter – My only 9-5 experience after finishing my Mandatory Nysc was a 3-month stint as a Human Resources Assistant at a Company on the Island so I could not use it to claim points. As a fresh graduate with no huge responsibility (smh), I got tired of the environment and resigned abruptly. Fortunately, Glitteringstar was still very active on this platform then so she encouraged me to use my Nysc experience but I knew it will be difficult to get the letter considering the laid back attitude of employees of government establishments. After much pleading, I got it after a month in August 2018. I knew something was not right about the reference letter ever since then. I pleaded with them to change my Job title from Corper to the my NOC title but they forcefully refused. Many thanks to Ifeoma77 for coming through. She said I should use the Corper title and shed more light on it in my LOE.

ITA – After seeing my IELTS result on December 14, 2018, I was so confident of getting ITA that I did not create profile immediately. Also, I didn’t know where I would get the POF from so I just relaxed(I no fit try am again ooo). ITA na like diamond). Eventually, I created my profile on December 24, 2018 and I got the you are not eligible mail like so many other people on January 1, 2019. I was terribly saddened that all manner of thoughts struggled to gain the first position in my mind. I followed a compassionate person’s advise on here by increasing my POF to create a new profile. On Jan 10, 2019 (the first draw of the year, 449) I got my ITA with my 450 score.

Medical – I sent Qlife my ITA in January and I was scheduled for a Medical on February 12, 2019. I arrived early, submitted my passport and chilled before I was told to go and urinate inside a small plastic. Did my blood test, saw the Radiographer and the Doctor. Very courteous Medical practitioners work there. The Nurse just de smile. wink

PCC – I walked into alagbon and saw a man that took me to a woman. She wanted to charge me #8,000. Mehn, we had a heated argument about the price that it took the intervention of her boss and some of her colleagues to calm us down. I politely told her that I had #4000 on me( Omo boy don get OT for here naa). I guess she wanted to take advantage of my boyish look. I no greeeeee oooooo. Las las, na them settle am for us. I collected it, paid my #4000 and left. She said she won’t give me her card. Who card epp? sad

POF – I had some substantial amount of money in my account so that I won’t look like an unserious person to anyone that was willing to help(No be you wan go Canny nii). Some of the people that promised to assist later reneged on their promises (abeg no put all your eggs in one basket oo). In fact, some denied ever promising me. Naxoo, I weak ooo. I already thinking of rejecting ITA but alas my brother came through by helping me with a POF that was more than the required amount. I quickly contacted my account officers to help me use it for treasury bill (6 months), did a gift deed, notarized it and got the receipt showing the transfer from my brother’s account to my account.

N.B I only uploaded GTbank TB certificate (6 months), gift deed and transaction receipt.

AOR – I started the processing of uploading my documents on February 17, 2019. Mehn, it was not easy to answer all the questions oo. I scanned all my documents in separate folders and uploaded. I also asked some of my ogas on how to answer some complex questions. I eventually submitted after 48 hours, paid for RRPF, biometrics and other fees with the help of a kind lady on wasseynewes’s whatsapp group (God bless you sir). Sterling bank things, hehe.

Post AOR- I woke up on February 20, 2019 with the feeling that I didn’t upload all the required documents. Naxo I remember say I no upload my TB certificate oo. Can you imagine? I sharparly receive sense, raise cse ooo. I even followed up with a call to confirm if it was received. Then the long wait for MEP/BIL started. I asked my colleagues that we submitted at about the same time about theirs to determine how soon I will be contacted. Then news filtered in that some people got rejected as a result of the fact that they didn’t upload the right document in the right place. I started worrying again. Where I wan start from? lipsrsealed

Thankfully, I got MEP/BIL on April 8, 2019. I ran to VFS, filled a form, picked a number, sat for some hours before I was attended to. I saw the email and notification in my account later in the day. Then the wait continued. I couldn’t stop worrying about my application. I started hearing people that got rejected because of wrong NOC (Nawaooo). I checked by reference letter again and I decided to contact my supervisor to help me alter the responsibilities. It just did not align with my NOC. I printed out my NOC (NOC 1254 and wrote him a passionate letter about this canny stuff). Thank God, oga change am oo after much bureaucracy. I raised cse on May 2, 2019 and it was acknowledged on May, 9, 2019.
At this point, everyone was trying to know their VO, as an oga in cse matters, I raised another one and got notified that my file is at Ottawa. Well, Ottawa peeps get PPR around the 5 to 6 months mark so no need to raise unnecessary GCMS. During this period, I tried getting a volunteer/intern role in the kind of job I intend doing in Canny but I was not successful (getting a job is a job).When people started getting ADR’s for that funny clause on their GTB TB certificate, I started getting nervous but I later relaxed jare. Las las na ADR. embarassed

On June 21, 2019, I received a cse and sent a mail to Ottawa about the latest on my application. I received a mail from CIC(June 27, 2019) and Ottawa (July 3,2019) that my application is currently in queue for review and that my status is unclear. Omo boy just go back to him lowkey state.

PPR – I woke around 2.30 on July 13, 2019 (My parents weeding anniversary and a week to my birthday). As a daily ritual, I checked my mail and I saw a mail titled CPC0-Final request (June 12, 2019 at exactly 10.02pm). At first, I thought it was an ADR as my application was not perfect. Also, many people that submitted before me are still hanging in. I checked my profile and saw nothing. I called Wasseynewest e no answer. Naxoo, I chat baba up ooo. In his usual joyful mood, baba said the golden mail has landed. Tears of joy rolled down my cheek. I notified my younger sister and parents. Immediately and tears of joy was flowing everywhere. cry cry cry embarassed grin

Things I did while waiting:
- Networked with people in the Canny work environment on linkedin.
- Checked the prices of houses and cars in Canada occasionally.
- Followed developments in the political and economic space in Canny.
- Compared the different provinces.

Abeg, who sabi where Vfs Lagos office de?

Isn’t it funny that many of the great things that have happened in my life came as a result of the wealth of information on this platform. Fiverr freelancing and now Canada. Thanks Seun Osewa. Thanks my fellow Canny people. wink

Conclusively, permit me to step aside by telling everyone in the race to hang in. You’re a champion. I full ground for any assistance oo. God bless us,Canada and Nigeria. grin

PCC – I walked into alagbon and saw a man that took me to a woman. She wanted to charge me #8,000. Mehn, we had a heated argument about the price that it took the intervention of her boss and some of her colleagues to calm us down. I politely told her that I had #4000 on me( Omo boy don get OT for here naa). I guess she wanted to take advantage of my boyish look. I no greeeeee oooooo. Las las, na them settle am for us. I collected it, paid my #4000 and left. She said she won’t give me her card. Who card epp? sad

POF – I had some substantial amount of money in my account so that I won’t look like an unserious person to anyone that was willing to help(No be you wan go Canny nii). Some of the people that promised to assist later reneged on their promises (abeg no put all your eggs in one basket oo). In fact, some denied ever promising me. Naxoo, I weak ooo. I already thinking of rejecting ITA but alas my brother came through by helping me with a POF that was more than the required amount. I quickly contacted my account officers to help me use it for treasury bill (6 months), did a gift deed, notarized it and got the receipt showing the transfer from my brother’s account to my account.

N.B I only uploaded GTbank TB certificate (6 months), gift deed and transaction receipt.

AOR – I started the processing of uploading my documents on February 17, 2019. Mehn, it was not easy to answer all the questions oo. I scanned all my documents in separate folders and uploaded. I also asked some of my ogas on how to answer some complex questions. I eventually submitted after 48 hours, paid for RRPF, biometrics and other fees with the help of a kind lady on wasseynewes’s whatsapp group (God bless you sir). Sterling bank things, hehe.

Post AOR- I woke up on February 20, 2019 with the feeling that I didn’t upload all the required documents. Naxo I remember say I no upload my TB certificate oo. Can you imagine? I sharparly receive sense, raise cse ooo. I even followed up with a call to confirm if it was received. Then the long wait for MEP/BIL started. I asked my colleagues that we submitted at about the same time about theirs to determine how soon I will be contacted. Then news filtered in that some people got rejected as a result of the fact that they didn’t upload the right document in the right place. I started worrying again. Where I wan start from? lipsrsealed

Thankfully, I got MEP/BIL on April 8, 2019. I ran to VFS, filled a form, picked a number, sat for some hours before I was attended to. I saw the email and notification in my account later in the day. Then the wait continued. I couldn’t stop worrying about my application. I started hearing people that got rejected because of wrong NOC (Nawaooo). I checked by reference letter again and I decided to contact my supervisor to help me alter the responsibilities. It just did not align with my NOC. I printed out my NOC (NOC 1254 and wrote him a passionate letter about this canny stuff). Thank God, oga change am oo after much bureaucracy. I raised cse on May 2, 2019 and it was acknowledged on May, 9, 2019.
At this point, everyone was trying to know their VO, as an oga in cse matters, I raised another one and got notified that my file is at Ottawa. Well, Ottawa peeps get PPR around the 5 to 6 months mark so no need to raise unnecessary GCMS. During this period, I tried getting a volunteer/intern role in the kind of job I intend doing in Canny but I was not successful (getting a job is a job).When people started getting ADR’s for that funny clause on their GTB TB certificate, I started getting nervous but I later relaxed jare. Las las na ADR. embarassed

On June 21, 2019, I received a cse and sent a mail to Ottawa about the latest on my application. I received a mail from CIC(June 27, 2019) and Ottawa (July 3,2019) that my application is currently in queue for review and that my status is unclear. Omo boy just go back to him lowkey state.

PPR – I woke around 2.30 on July 13, 2019 (My parents weeding anniversary and a week to my birthday). As a daily ritual, I checked my mail and I saw a mail titled CPC0-Final request (June 12, 2019 at exactly 10.02pm). At first, I thought it was an ADR as my application was not perfect. Also, many people that submitted before me are still hanging in. I checked my profile and saw nothing. I called Wasseynewest e no answer. Naxoo, I chat baba up ooo. In his usual joyful mood, baba said the golden mail has landed. Tears of joy rolled down my cheek. I notified my younger sister and parents. Immediately and tears of joy was flowing everywhere. cry cry cry embarassed grin

Things I did while waiting:
- Networked with people in the Canny work environment on linkedin.
- Checked the prices of houses and cars in Canada occasionally.
- Followed developments in the political and economic space in Canny.
- Compared the different provinces.

Abeg, who sabi where Vfs Lagos office de?

Isn’t it funny that many of the great things that have happened in my life came as a result of the wealth of information on this platform. Fiverr freelancing and now Canada. Thanks Seun Osewa. Thanks my fellow Canny people. wink

Conclusively, permit me to step aside by telling everyone in the race to hang in. You’re a champion. I full ground for any assistance oo. God bless us,Canada and Nigeria. grin grin
Congrats Bros.For the reference letter from your employer does it have a particular format

Good evening house, please I'm currently processing my ECA using PEBC, and I was asked to send my birth certificate, because of the difference in names,which I accounted for by attaching some certified documents earlier(marriage certificate, newspaper publication,one and same person affidavit). Do I send the birth certificate from LG or NPC? Thanks

Kids passports are not required when filling out the EE profile. They will be required post ITA.

Adeime:
Hello All for those of us that filled the we profile and have kids; kindly confirm if the passport details of your kids were required at that stage as I’m still trying to get their passports out since June
Also anyadvise or help with respect to this delay would be highly appreciated

It's best you collect what your employer is offering, raise a CSE explaining what you saw and that you are submitting the documents to provide clarity. Don't wait until you're asked cos it might cause further delay, so it's best to be proactive.
You can also mail the documents to CPC Ottawa.
stanzee:
Good day guys, please I have a challenge, I’m 9 months post Aor tomorrow & I ordered 2 Gcms notes, they both came back saying the same thing. There is a review required for one of the work experiences I claimed but my Eligibility is met which is quite confusing. I think the review required is because I was paid by cash. I called my former employers & I was told I can come and collect new reference letters stating I was paid my cash & they can give me my old ID card also to submit. Please can i go ahead and collect them and upload even when I wasn’t asked for an Adr, also will I state I found out through GCMS notes? Please I really need answers. Also, can I also mail the documents to CPC ottawa? Thanks in advance.

I learnt their Non-teaching staff (Responsible for processing transcript) are on strike since January 2019.

Or Have they called off the strike?
No, they haven't. That's the reason i'm looking for someone who can help.

Hi everyone, I am trying to create an EE profile and I am stuck with the years of experience.

My noc is admin officer and I assessed only my MBA which was completed in 2014 with WES. However, I started working in 2010. Is it possible to fill in from 2010 as I used my ssce and degree to get the job-however, the first degree and ssce weren't assessed.

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 8 by iphenon: 5:08am On Jul 31, 2019
This thread is now getting messed up newbies quoting very long PPR posts and consistently asking questions that have been treated over and over again. cry

Do you have birth certificate for her? You have to adopt her and you can’t adopt her if she has living parents.

@bold is not true. Adoption also involves the transfer of parenting rights from biological parents to legal parents Check here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=410&top=2

Before providing any information with certainty, please kindly research it. If you are not sure, say so. These thread pages are used for reference. Let's ensure the accuracy of the information

Are you evaluating a law degree? If no, why do you want to use IQAS? The waiting time would drive you crazy.

Use either WES or ICES for two or more degrees. Check their official websites for processing times, they have updated since the last time those on page 1 were posted.

Thanks so much for this....I appreciate
