Osemigho: Hi everyone,
Tips on getting great scores, as well as personal experience in Writing and speaking will be appreciated. Thanks. Check Youtube for Speaking Band 8 and 9 videos and observe carefully. The broader the range of vocabulary the better, complex construction and sentences you use in the writing and speaking will help you as well. Also the chain of thought and fluidity in your expressions all count towards at least an 8 in the Writing and Speaking.

geebaby10: Hello All. Please I have a question. I have gotten ITA and I am preparing my documents for submission this week or next week. I am the principal applicant but I am going with my husband. We did our medicals and mine was good but he has high BP and we were not able to get it down all day. My question is this- How much does his high BP (150/100)affect our chances of positive feedback on our application?
Also please is there a whatsapp group I can join? No mind the BP wahala, I had a similar case on my medicals but I passed. Nevertheless steps must be taken to normalize it for general well being and good health. All the best in your application. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Are you serious? By the way, it isn't about the number but instead it is about keeping to date with the technology. You may have 10 certificates but if they are dated 1999, they are just as useless.

All I can say is that North America (Canada & USA) is the land of opportunities. Nothing can stop you to achieve what you want except yourself. I have seen people with degree in history switching to IT. So, you can do it. Just keep upgrading your skills each year by getting different certificate in IT and you will be fine.

Planning on getting married before moving...
So is it easier to add wifey after getting my PPR than waiting till after PR, That's after completing the whole process. . .?
In plain English, should I wait till I get my PR or before I get PR to add wifey?
Hope my question is clear enough... Phew. Best is to add her after PPR bro...after PR can extend the timelines annoyingly. Ultimately the two of you need to be able to make a decision and support each other through the process no matter how long it might tentatively take. Cheers.. |

Worse case after PR to sponsor a spouse outside Canada is 18 months, inside Canada is 24 months ( to avert arranged marriages i guess) |

Your best bet would be to search on linkedin for agric professionals. I know Canada is big on exporting wheat, canola, grains and beef. Canola industry alone in Canada is worth $1.2B a year. You would have to look at the prairies (Southern Manitoba, Southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta) in that order. A few pics of farm fields I come across often times. Wheat, bins, corn, and Canola.

boldinc: No Banks in Nigeria will sell dollars to you except it's for PTA or BTA (Personal / Business Travel Allowance)and you must have a valid visa and ticket to the country. So, most people go to the black market to purchase and fund their dorm accounts.

boldinc: Either get a friend or relative with an international card to help out and you pay naira or open a Dorm acct in Nigeria, buy dollars from black market and load of your card.
In my case, got someone to fund my BoA account and I paid her in Naira. It's what she does. She also helps people make international payments I believe...
Great job you guys are doing.Apologies to ask this question. No harm intended, i'm not Nigerian so don't know the situation inland but I see a lot of people suggesting to buy dollars from "black market" ie through unofficial channels like individuals etc I suppose. Why this route? Is getting dollars from the bank/forex bureau difficult, or is it a way to avoid their high charges and get more dollars for your Naira? The only reason I would be compelled to go to the black market is when I want to change dollars and get a higher rate because of the lower rates of the forex/banks. Even that is not a norm, I believe most people in my jurisdiction deal more with the official market than black market. Some clarity will be appreciated 1 Like |

What is your CRS score? Ontario PNP is currently nominating people with 400 and less in particular NOC codes including 2281/2282.

tripleace: To all who have contributed, I am filled with so much gratitude for expirence you have selflessly poured out, God bless you all. To call you Gurus, is an understatement, you are more that Gurus. Thank you once again.
I notice two thing by ready from the first page to the last that: 1. Not so much has been said about Winnipeg Manitoba as compared to other province. Could anyone please open up the needful as regards this province?
2. What is the prospect for an Agribusiness Consultant with about 14 years work experience, with a first Degree in Botany, Post Graduate In Crop Protection and MBA In Agribusiness (all degrees obtained in Nigeria)? Taking into perspective that Certification and work experience in Canada are prioritised over and above degrees not obtained in Canada?
3. Where would be the best province to settle as per job/business opportunities with someone in the Agricultural Sector?
Is their anyone living in Manitoba with useful information on the above?
What is the agricultural industry like in Winnipeg Manitoba?
Do you need to be certified? And what type of certification would be best?
Thank you. Bro, I see you've been on this for about 2 weeks with no response. I guess not many or no-one here might be able to give you the info you need. I did a Google search on Agriculture in Canada and came up with this link which could be a starting point for your study and further research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_CanadaCheers and all the best!! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Yooku: Hi Ajuju2, I know I've read on several posts that this mixup of order doesn't matter. But is there any particular order to the numbers that show on the eAPR. I see 1-5 on mine and I just assumed it is in reverse chronological order and uploaded my references in same order from current job to oldest. Or is it just a random arrangement for "all play all"? Seniors in the house can you weigh in on this too. My eAPR is ready for submission today jejely ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png)
For anyone who cares to know, your work references should be uploaded in reverse chronological order if there are multiple placeholders in your profile. So if they are listed from 0-4 your most current job goes in 0 and so forth and so on. Not that it is supposed to make any difference to your application but it just gives the reviewer less work having to figure out which uploaded reference is for which job role. Cheers!! 1 Like |

Spect10: Hello my people. Please i did an upfront medical for canada study visa in May 2017 at consultant practice. I need to know if i can still use same medical report for submission on EE. if yes, do i need the hospital to do anything? i called in but the receptionist seem not sure . i am submitting my application this July The medical form has a section which indicates what the medical exam will be used for. If it indicates for "student visa" or something related to that i'm not too sure if you can use it for your PR application as it is stated as being for "Worker". I also don't know if it's the same tests that are conducted for student visa applicants as well as for PR. I'm sure someone here can speak better to this. Cheers!! 2 Likes |
