Hi everyone. I need help. I have been a guest reader on Nairaland but just joined a few minutes ago. I started the EE process in 2018 with my family. Got ITA Feb 2019 and AOR May 2019. We just got a refusal notification and we are just devastated. I am a lawyer qualified to practice in Nigeria and was advised by my friend who got her PPR last year (also a lawyer) that my qualification entitles me to claim that my education qualification is equivalent to a professional degree. I did this and then evaluated both my LLB and law school result with WES. However, the refusal states that WES had not evaluated my qualification as a professional degree and as such I was ineligible to receive the ITA I received on the basis that my points dropped by 7 points. Right now I am just confused and I need guidance on so many things.

1. What happens after a refusal, do I just go back into the pool or do I have to delete my profile and create another one
2. Will using IQAS instead of WES get me the right evaluation or will that just be a waste of time
3. Our IELTS will expire this June (2 years), are we going to have to write that again
4. I am trying to send emails to some people that have been of help here but I can't obviously because I am a stranger.

Please help anyone.

Hello all,

Please, when filling the express entry form to enter the pool;
1. do we need to fill secondary applicant's NOC and detailed experience like the primary applicant?
2. does the secondary applicant (eg spouse) need a reference letter from previous employer?
3. If the secondary applicant have no experience besides NYSC (Secondary school teaching) 8 years ago, can that be used as experience?

Thank you in anticipation of your kind responses.

Mummychichi:


I'll get back to you

Because her application will be treated as a single applicant and cannot claim points from her husband

Thanks.

prettytasha:
thank you . Would go through it

SunshineD1:


3 months is a long wait o. From stories I have read here, it usually doesn't take that long even for people who already had PPR and needed to add a newborn born post PPR.
I believe others will weigh in with their personal experiences. It is well with you

carissaa:

If you're going through a work permit route, you don't but if you're going through EE, you do

ednut1:
redo IELTS if you max out thats 474. do you know international students in canada will graduate by may /june and many will enter the pool. Bikonu dont dull

RealVictor:


Can they enter the pool without work experience

Mamaroon:
Lawyers ECA - IQAS vs WES

Pls see below from Ramj in 2018. I have not read a PPR story where they used WES, claimed professional, and VO didn't adjust CRS downwards....still searching.

Hello everyone, as we all know, CRS scores have been really high lately. As we hopefully wait for the scores to reduce, we should also consider alternative PR options for relocating to Canada. there are a couple of pilots ongoing e.g the Atlantic pilot, rural and northern pilots, and the caregiver. These have more or less requirements than the the express entry program but usually require applicants to have secured a job offer in Canada. If you are interested in any of these pilots but do not know how to go about getting a job in Canada from outside Canada, I could provide information you'll find very useful.

See n it from one of the very old threads. Infact, the person claimed to have tweeted at the IRCC Twitter account...

Sumji:
Hello everyone! Can someone kindly respond.

Please, is it okay to present treasury bills certificate as "proof of funds" after getting ITA...............also, does the certificate have to be six months old?
Just want to be sure of what's acceptable for "proof of funds" ......as well as the required timeline.

Mamaroon:


Sorry about the refusal.

1. I don't believe you are in the pool anymore. You can create a new profile with your current GCKey sign in. I am not 100% sure of this.
2. IQAS was giving the equivalence of professional degree from the experience of others here but they are not accepting new applications till May 2020, perhaps your friend did her evaluation with IQAS
3. If IELTS expires before ITA, I believe you need to redo it.

What is your current CRS? Perhaps you could also share your WES evaluation, personal info blocked out so other lawyers can see and learn.

Sorry again.

kennykentipsy:


Though I'm currently in Canada I schooled and work here but family still back home. I can't do my landing till the new born has been added. Been calling and all they tell me is hold on. So was hoping to ask anyone who has had such specific case

ednut1:
sorry about this. you can raise a CSE to request for reconsideration and argue the fact it is a professional degree per CIC. also get that your friend to liaise with the MP in her area to help intervene in the matter, Mail immigration minister too.

Sumji:

I know no one is being payed to respond, so I'm once again KINDLY ASKING for a response to this question.
Thank you in advance.

jjohndoe83:

Wow this is so sad.

I like it that you're willing to try again. It may be helpful to compare your CRS (if you claim 2 or more certificates and max out IELTS) and the current CRS levels. Not sure it is a good idea to wait till May.

Have you also exhausted CRS options? Spouse evaluation of degrees?

@silversurfer, I recall we had a conversation on this exact issue you weeks ago

SunshineD1:


It is okay to use tbills as POF.
