brogxy: Hello.. Your best option is to find out from the admissions department of your potential school. I don’t know if it’s possible to take these courses singly. I was in the same position, I have a science based University degree from Nigeria but I didn’t have two of the required courses - Statistics and Psychology (this was for Uni of Toronto). Some kind hearted NLanders recommended accelerated Nursing programs (a few pages back) in Lakehead University and Trent university (keep in mind that for these schools, you are starting from scratch but instead of the regular four years, you will be spending three years) 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Remicynt: We had the same challenge as you. We simply got the statement of account and I signed a letter to show that my spouse has free and unfettered access to the account for the purpose of immigration. This was in early 2019 and we've received ppr. I don't know if this method is still acceptable now. |

Just to clarify about Lakehead university. *Most universities who offer the accelerated BSN will require you pass the prerequisites as part of their application criteria. For these schools the program would normally run for 2 years. *Lakehead university offers the prerequisites as part of your first year course, including some other core nursing courses. So, you do not need to write the prerequisites before applying. And the accelerated BSN program is 3years (or 2yrs 8months if you count it that way). I think this is fair because if you include the time you need to study for and write the prerequisites before applying to those schools that run the program for 2 years then it adds up. *To get exemption for the prerequisites, you need to submit your course description from your previous studies. I submitted this and got exemption for statistics. I know someone who got exemption for psychology too. So, in first year I took psychology, anatomy and physiology plus other nursing courses. * Also, in Lakehead university clinical placement starts from year one whether you're doing the 4yrs degree or accelerated degree. I don't know what is obtainable in other schools. *The accelerated degree program in Lakehead university is quite intensive. Be ready to STUDY. A lot of students are able to work while going to school, you just have to know your own capabilities and decide how many hours you can sacrifice for work. Also, after your first year you are qualified to work as a PSW ($20.68/hr where I worked). * About the 10 years timeline, I'm not sure what the conditions are in Lakehead university. But I finished my first degree over 10 years ago and was able to get admission. NaijaCanadian28: 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I had to create an account just to respond to your question. Please for the love of God, EVALUATE YOUR DEGREES!!! While you are still in Nigeria, it will be a easier to get any required transcripts to send to the requisite evaluation bodies. I was added by my spouse post AOR and was happy about not needing to evaluate my degree only to be asked to provide the evaluation when I wanted to join the regulatory body for my profession. Decided to go back to school for a graduate certificate and the school asked for WES evaluation. Eventually switched my application to a full diploma( just to avoid WES wàhálà) and they asked for evaluation of my WAEC certificate by...... WES!! Waec has sent documents to WES but we are still waiting for university transcripts since September despite all efforts to get it (including paying twice!) Even if you don't use it, just have it on hand. Thegirl2019: 3 Likes |

Kyrie2018: Your explanation was well detailed as I intended asking more questions but didn't want to fill the thread up with unnecessary posts. Thanks |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NaijaCanadian28: 6:14am On Jan 30, 2021 |
Kyrie2018: Thanks so much for this clarification. I didn’t know some schools exempt Psychology and Statistics . I had seen the requirements on U of T’s website and emailed the admissions department but the lady didn’t give a satisfactory answer so I didn’t even bother applying. Lakehead and Trent were even out of the question due to distance.I just decided to go through the LPN route. Albeit a longer route since my goal is still RN plus my OHST diploma but we shall see. I should know where I stand from next week as colleges will start sending offers to students from next week. Thanks for your input |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Kyrie2018: 7:16am On Jan 30, 2021 |
If you haven't started yet, you can still send them your course description. Even after registering for classes you would still be given a few weeks after school starts to drop any course. I didn't even ask the school about mine, I just uploaded my course description as part of my application documents. Lakehead is a good school if you don't mind living in NW Ontario. I heard that in bigger cities schools compete amongst themselves for clinical placement locations for their students. I don't know how true it is. But we don't have that problem here ![]() And the school fees is about $7, 200 per year for PR/citizens. NaijaCanadian28: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hello house, please I’m making this enquiry for my brother. He is a Veterinary Doctor (DVM) with 4years of working experience, 33yrs old. His wife (26yo) is a Nurse (Bsc) with approximately 2years of working experience. Please, what do they need to start with on this journey of EE? Do they really have prospect in Canada? I’m suggesting Australia for them as the second choice because I don’t know if Canada is better for their professions. Is it advisable for both of them to evaluate their certificate with WES and also write IELTS together? What are the likely IELTS bands that can make them enter the EE pool? I would really appreciate it if anyone can reply me. Thanks a lot |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by smartkester(m): 3:51pm On Jan 31, 2021 |
DRiches:vet Doctor and a Nurse, they're both perfect for the Canadian journey. Their profession is widely sorted for in Canada, just wait for the seniors to illuminate more on this. But from my little experience, they're good to go. Since the wife is younger, she should be the primary applicant. Just check the EE thread for more information. 1 Like |

Hi guys, pls I need a confirmation on: 1) if reference letter for previous work experience has a validity period. I want to get mine now but will be in the pool in 6-7months time. 2) for the current experience is it ideal to state a date one left the company or just use "till date" as the person still works with the company as at the time of application? I have been getting conflicting answers so I decided to get a response from here since it's for those that have arrived |

DRiches: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp Simulating their CRS is the first step. The Vet doctor can claim points for Masters/professional degree because of his profession but the Registered nurse can only claim points for Bachelors(Masters points is higher than Bachelors points). The Vet will also lose about 14 or 15 points on age. They also have to max out their IELTS to be able to have a high CRS. If their CRS is in the 470s, they may have a chance with EE, if not they may have to consider other options like PNP. There’s a thread for express entry, I think you will get better answers there pertaining to immigration. Job prospect for RN is great . I know people don’t joke with their pets here, so I’m assuming job prospect should be good for Vet doctors too. I have no idea of the immigration programs for Australia (there’s also a thread for this topic on NL) but I know for sure that it’s a very good country too. 2 Likes |
