Pay for an Express Entry application – Nigeria
The International Experience Canada participation fee increased by $3 (from $153 to $156) on December 1, 2020.

Please how I saw the above on IRCC website, do one needs to pay before opening an Express Entry profile?

Let's do all we can to perfect our applications pls

Long read.

But bear with me
AOR Sep 7, 2018. FSW-O, Nigerian Citizen and Resident. Family of 2 (or so I thought). I am the Primary Applicant
PPR:Mar 26, 2019, Visa&COPR: Apr 26, 2019
So with the above in ind, wifey and I set about quitting our jobs, selling off our remaining assets, running down the lease, As an accountant, I already started the process of getting my CPA. Apart from the obvious physical stuff, there was also the mental side of getting ready to move to a foreign country. We set a travel date of Jun 20, 2019. Just for kicks, we splurged on Business Class tickets for the one-way trip (twas EgyptAir- still cheaper than economy class of other airlines).
Touchdown in YYZ on Jun 21,2019.

At this point you are wondering, isn't this the normal landing gist we dey usually read �


After the CBSA officer questions my wife about family composition, she says she cannot land us. Because my wife says she has a 10 year old daughter but the CBSA officer says she cannot find her in the application. We vehemently argue that my wife's daughter is on the application and she should check the system carefully. After a few hours, the CBSA officer allows us into Canada but landing is not completed as she holds on to our passports and asks us to return to the airport on Jul 5, 2019. At this point, we were still unclear as to what we had done wrong.
In the intervening period, and after contacting IRCC, I found out that the mistake is indeed mine. While it was indeed true that while we listed my wife's daughter in the family section of my wife, I did not list her IN the application as my stepdaughter so she didn't go through admissibility tests. The error was mine but I am slightly upset that this is something that should have been caught and addressed by the IRCC when reviewing the application. not really making any excuses, but it never did occur to me that I had a stepdaughter when filling the forms. With benefit of hindsight, when we received the COPR and my wife's COPR did not at least have a dependant listed, it should have triggered something I saw that but I thought that well the IRCC had gone through everything and if there was a problem they would let me know.
Back to the timeline,
Jul 3, 2019: IRCC sends me a letter to include my step daughter in the application. Forms, birth certificate and international passport. We have 30 days to provide the information.
Jul 5, 2019: we return to the airport for the CBSA interview where she informs us that our visas had been cancelled without prejudice and we were to leave Canada immediately (Voluntarily though). Somehow, we were lucky because all the flights were booked and we were able to get our things to leave on July 8
Jul 10, 2019: We return to Lagos, Nigeria after a 2 day journey. Later that night, I get a Procedural Fairness Letter to provide the same information in the letter of July 3. This time, only 7 days was given as the deadline. Not sure why I received this.
Jul 15, 2019: Submit the information required. If there was any delay, it was because we had to get an International Passport for my stepdaughter.
Jul 16, 2019: Receive Medical form for my stepdaughter. Profile updated we are now a family of 3, Stepdaughter is non-accompanying.
Jul 21, 2019: Stepdaughter Medical Passed
Silence afterwards
Aug 9, 2019: Our (My wife and I) medicals expire
More silence.
Aug 20, 2019: Office of Ralph Goodale assists in confirming status " ...As before, eligibility, criminality, and security checks are passed. Medicals are expired. The response to the Procedural Fairness letter is awaiting review. Timelines are not available."
Today: still waiting

Side note: Returning to Nigeria now means that we have no jobs, no place of our own to live, no car etc. I moved our POF funds to Canada in anticipation of the "once in a lifetime" move and to get the money back, another story. It should be easy to reintegrate back to a country where I have lived almost all my life but It does not necessarily happen to be the case. Trying to get a temporary job is a nightmare. The irony is that my wife is now expecting "our kid". Chances that a new medical will be required is high and with Xrays and stuff, who knows how long this will take.

Not sure why I am sharing this here, maybe it's therapeutic. Lessons have been learnt. Just hoping for this to end.

The B1 and B2 are contractors(kind of outsourcing Companies) in which they always put employees after recruiting. I still perform my duties for the company A. Just that I receive salary frm the B1(then) nd B2(now). We don't know them. And Company A bluntly told me that anything pertaining to ref letter would be from B1 and B2.

Good morning everyone. Please I need your advice here. I have a BSc in Microbiology, one year work experience as an administrative Assistant ( NYSC). 21years of age. Please will you advice me to go to the UK for masters in International human resources management or process PR to Canada. What can I do to boost my CRS apart from French which might take long time.
I'm thinking of applying for PR from the UK after mater's but I don't know how hard that will be considering Part time job can't be counted as part of work experience.
Please advice me house process PR to Canada to just go to the UK for masters. Thank you

Quick Question: about Job Reference Letter

I held two roles in my company; as an Accountant (Past role) and as a Finance Manager (Current Role) - Both combination= 3+ yrs

Option A: while filling my EE profile should I separate both roles (signifying the start and end date for both roles) or

Option B: should I just use the current role, and let my Reference Letter reflect the difference in roles.

Knowing that this is just one work experience declaration, and there will only be one placeholder per work experience declaration.

GeologistMajor Thank you so much. I'm just scared by the time I'm done in like 4years time getting PR to Canada might be stricter and all:

I will advice to go for your MSc in the UK and during your studies you can simultaneously learn the French.
Or if you have the opportunity, get a job to make up your work experience to 3 years while you get an online masters or other professional courses (to qualify for 2 or more cert)

muymacho:


If you can afford to pay for Masters why not do it in Canada? In terms of building scores for CRS nothing can be that, extra point for studying in Canada, extra point for living there, if you get a job under your noc no pof needed, you might meet the love of your life there who already has pr etc. UK masters does not add anything you will even pay for wes join.
