4TH Attempt. IDP

Never give up!!

Awesome....I commend your determination.

Joining the party here in part 9. I have always believed that Canadian skilled migration is very complicated and takes a lot of time. I also don't like very cold weather so all these made me to look away from anything that has to do with Canada in the past years until last week when it seems there is a strong force pulling me towards Canada. Friends, family, everyone, seems to suggest that we consider Canada and has either moved or planning to move.

In addition to these, some temporary limitations in applying for Australia which has been my country of choice has brought me here and I have been reading from page 1 and other external links. At the moment it seems like we have a lot to do, from ECA to IELTS but I believe that in this Part 9, we shall get our ITA, PPR and COPR.

With time I hope to get familiar with the monikers here and the culture. I have picked up a number of tradition but still learning, so I pray that I'll be corrected with love if I ever make a mistake.

Concerning the UNILAG HRDC courses, does anyone know the specific courses that are favourably assessed by WES.

Don't use WES, at best they will give you one semester's equivalent and that's if you evaluate your B.Sc with them. People are using ICES to get two semesters equivalent to be on the safe side.

Go for the Advanced Diploma in Business Administration.

You can consider CES too. Avoid WES if you not evaluating with your Bsc

The very best.

I equally passed my 13th attempt without studying by only using her strategy.

Hello,

My Spouse and I graduated from the same institution and we are processing our transcripts now. We plan on creating different WES accounts to get our reference numbers but I'd like to know if we can share the same delivery package from school just to save cost ?

Or we should send using different packages? Your input will be well a
ppreciated. Thank you

Your transcript can be sent together but please make sure the school sends it in different envelopes (sealed) with each reference number on each envelope as it’s going to be different people that will be handling your WES evaluation

Thank you, but I have paid WES to assess my B.A. and I thought it would be better to do additional assessment with them also considering the fact that WES is faster.

Dear Lady Marshall

I am a lawyer but not practicing. presently i work as a Sales Administrative Manager from 2018 till date (0601). Previous work experience was Personal Assistant (1214) for 4 years. Please can you tell me what NOC i should use? . That will give me more points,as per experience. for ECA i used LLB(IQAS)
Your previous work experience in my opinion. Your current job isn’t up to 3 years. To get maximum point for work experience?

Also i ve registered for IELTS exam and also paid for IQAS .
1)I'm Married but my husband deserted my 2 kids and i since 2015. i just initiated a divorce proceeding on the 7th of this month simple because of the EE process so as not to involve him for any medical etc. With the way Nigerian litigation process is, do i enter the pool a married or divorced?

2)If divorced, do i have to do a new passport have my maiden name or i can continue with present passport having my marital name.

3)Do i just get a separation agreement and apply to a family court for custody of my Kids. Since i know the Divorce process will take forever in Nigeria

Please what marital Status should i use since my divorce case is still in court with no precise date of dissolution of Marriage? to enter the pool?.

Thank You.

Good morning yard people, I'm an ardent but silent follower of this trend. I would like the experts in the house to help give clarity on this issue bothering my mind; My CRS score is 412 at the moment, though, I'm doing all I can to boost it. In the interim, I intend to create the Express Entry profile for any possibilities of PNP while I continue working hard on boosting my CRS score. I would like to confirm If I can add my spouse later on after my CRS score as increased before ITA. We plan to get married early next year but I believe my CRS score would have been boosted before then.

A clearer response will be well appreciated.

Thank you.

All glory and praise goes to Jesus.

Some background information about me. I am by all accounts fortunate to be considered a middle class Nigerian as i attended decent schools, embarked on the occasional summer vacation, had ikoyi club membership from way back when membership was a status symbol and lived a life of general stability, which i am thankful for. I am a lawyer by profession and obtained my undergrad degree in the UK and my postgrad in USA and all of my education were sponsored by my parents. My dad was absolutely livid when I told him that I was going to apply for Canadian PR and tried to get my elder brother in the USA (who stayed back after med school) to convince me to stay put, I simply told my brother that if he was really sympathetic towards my dads’ disdain at my decision and wanted to remedy the situation then he should relocate to Nigeria with his family and he kept mute afterwards. My mum on the other hand prayed with me and wished me God’s grace.

I had always been pro-Nigeria and thought that the Buhari/Osinbajo administration (i was sold mostly because of Osinbajo, as i know him from a distance in a professional capacity) would usher in relative prosperity for Nigerians as a collective. I heard of the EE program at about the same time and thought to myself nah I’ll stay here, prosper and build the life of my dreams in Nigeria, LoL naive me.

Fast-forward to September 2017 when my EE journey started in earnest. At this point I had become increasingly disillusioned at my job; the welfare of young lawyers; the practice of law in Nigeria and worst of all, Nigeria was neck deep into a recession when an old friend from undergrad school told me that he was getting married and would thereafter be relocating to Canada and encouraged me to apply (shout-out to JAM for sowing the EE seed). I registered and sat for IELTS in October 2017 and my result went thus LRWS: 7.5, 8.5, 7, 8 which was insufficient to get me an ITA. I dusted myself off and registered for another exam in February 2018 and simultaneously registered to get my undergrad and post-grad degrees (overkill i know) accessed by IQAS. Unfortunately I suffered from severe abdominal pain during the written test and so I struggled during the exam and I scored the following LRWS: 7.5, 9, 7.5, 8 . At this point I gave up on the entire EE exercise and moved on with my life. But my friend kept prompting me to retake IELTS saying how good my result was at my first attempt with little to no practice, and on my second attempt despite my challenges but I kept brushing him off. On 1st September 2018 I was at an insane wedding after-party chopping mad grinds from a babe when a close friend of mine who by all accounts was doing much better than me (staff of Seplat) told me he had just submitted his EE application, after hearing this I stopped drinking and dancing for the remainder of the party and thought to myself how I had been sleeping on duty. The very next day I registered for the exam holding on 29 September and practiced like my life depended on it (I watched tons of videos relating to IELTS on YouTube, used any free material I could lay my hands on online, bought a book from British Council for 5,500 and practiced everyday, everywhere, anytime) and I am proud to say that thanks to God that my result was great. LRWS: 9,9,7,8 (overall 8.5). Armed with my IELTS and ECA I entered the pool and got an ITA in November. I was however compelled to reject the invite as I had insufficient POF (lol, I had just spent a ton of money on a vacation in August) YOLO.

APPLICATION
On 23 December, 2018 i re-entered the pool with CRS of 473 and received an ITA on 10th January, 2019. With my ITA in the bag I swung into action. I paid attention to detail and created a folder for each component of the application exercise.

PCC: Nigerian PCC was done at Alagbon for 5k, I also applied for my American and UK PCCs online.

Medicals: I had my medicals done with IOM on 24th January, 2019 as the earliest available date with Q-Life was in March.

POF: I submitted my dollar denominated account statement and fixed deposit certificate both from Gtbank along with a deed of gift and letter of non-indebtedness.

Work reference letters: I got reference letters from my former firm and current firm which collectively were well over four years of experience.

ECA: This was pretty straightforward as I had both my universities send my transcript to IQAS and I received my report months later, merged this with my IELTS TRF, undergrad certificate, postgrad certificate and call to bar certificate.

Passport: Studio 24 to the rescue. I requested for digital copies of my passport to be sent to my email too.

Submission: I ensured that I vetted everything before submitting as I didn’t want any hiccups along the way.

THE LONG WAIT
I realised shortly after submitting my application that I might have made an error as I stated that I first qualified to practice in my profession in 2010 (LL.B graduation) when in actuality I should have stated Feb, 2012 (law school call to bar) and so i reached out to @ifeoma77 (thanks again) who reassured me that it wouldn’t be an issue, but stated I could raise a CSE just to put my mind at ease and I did just that. I passed my medicals on 25th March. I ordered my first GCMS note on 23rd May and received my notes on 11th July. My notes stated that Criminality & Medicals had been passed while Eligibility & Security hadn’t commenced and finally that my file had been parked. I was gutted but glad that at least there wasn’t anything amiss. I ordered my second set of notes on 30th July, which was 9 days to the 6 months application processing deadline, hoping that it’d prompt someone to look at my file.

6 MONTHS POST-AOR
My application crossed the 6 month timeline on 8th August, 2019 and I was absolutely gutted as I thought I’d have received my PPR at this point. I decided to send an email to MP Goodale to inquire about the status of my application. He responded that Eligibility was recommended pass, which is a good thing as the Eligibility component is probably the most problematic aspect of the entire application process. Then my application crossed the 7 month timeline and at that point i had experienced a full cocktail of emotions (rage, jealously, anxiety, hopelessness and paranoia).

PPR MAIL
Since the wait had become agonising, I only checked my account once weekly. For some weird reason I woke up at the wee hours of 23rd October and I decided to check my account and I saw a ghost update (very first one I am aware of) which made me excited and very optimistic that PPR was around the corner. Woke up in the morning to check my mail before starting my day as is my usual practice and saw the “Ready for visa” mail dated 22nd Oct. I literally became numb. I think they just let my application gather dust until they were ready to finalize.

PARTING WORDS
I have to admit that the toughest part of this entire process is the waiting game (wondering if your application has any material errors). I’ll suggest everyone uses this period to achieve something else you always wanted to do in life, or maybe start practicing for interviews. For me that was exercising (jogging and football), and I am now in the best shape of my life. Things may seem uncertain, but trust me, you don't want to regret having wasted the time you have now, when you finally land in Canada and realize you could have actually used that downtime to benefit your life in other ways.

The importance of GCMS notes cannot be overemphasised. I advice everyone to apply for their first set after crossing the 100 day mark as it’d help you identify any red flags raised by IRCC and perhaps remedy it (it takes just over 35 days to receive so you should be well into your 4th month post-AOR when you receive it). A second note should also be applied for if you haven’t received PPR after 5 months, for the earlier stated reason and to perhaps trigger an officer to take a look at your file (my theory).

Special thanks to the elders for starting this thread, it truly is a treasure-chest of information. I learned at least 80% of all I know cornering EE on here and I implore newbies to takeout time and research for yourselves.

On a final note my parting advice to every applicant is to always tell the truth as these guys verify everything and also try to keep your application as simple as possible, also update/ tidy up your linkedln and Facebook profiles. For newbies start processing your ECA and register for IELTS, practice really hard and pass exceedingly well. For those in the pool whose scores aren’t quite high enough to get an ITA, do everything within your power to increase your points (learn French, take an additional course that’s recognised) and I hope you all get to experience a miracle beyond your wildest imagination.

The end! Fin!! Shalom!!! Over and out!!!! My watch has ended!!!!! I don port o!!!!!! Japa season is here!!!!!!! It has ended in praise!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to all that has gotten PPR in this new thread.

Congratulations bro. Your story is quite inspiring. May Canada favour you.

Hello House!!! I have been a silent reader for a while but decided to ask a question .kudos to those keeping the thread alive.I was told by someone that online degrees can't be used for EE. Is it true? please help me out.

The IELTS hurdle has been scaled. This was my 3rd attempt and I’m so glad I made it.

A huge thank you to tutor @wasseynewest and other great tutors who took out time to teach us for free. Those classes helped me a lot. God bless you guys immensely.

Are you still struggling with achieving the right scores, I strongly suggest you use a tutor, they will breakdown each module for you.

All the best in this Canada quest. ITA I await thee

Congratulations LordSneed, your script was highly interesting and very encouraging. I love the "japa season" and "I don port" part. I just might have passed by or seen you as I wrote the 29th September BC IELTS with exact same scores for LRS but 6.5 in W. Congratulations and enjoy the japa lifestyle. It has ended in praise.
