Yes it's definitely still worth you applying. If you meet all the requirements, then being in your 40s isn't a deal breaker. You will have an especially good chance if you meet the requirements for one of the categories in the new category based Express Entry draws which will probably start later this summer: https://www.canadafornewbies.com/category-based-express-entry-draws/

There's definitely no harm in getting your profile into the Express Entry pool, then when the first category draw happens you'll know more.

Deltayankeeboi:
Good morning house. Please for someone who meets other requirements(masters degree, work experience) for this new category based express entry but is in the 40’s. Is it advisable to apply for the express entry considering the age factor?

Perezzoe:


Pls I stand to be corrected and I feel someone out there might feel he or she is not eligible due to fear of the unknown.......whereas, he or she is truly qualified

NaijaGoingMaple:
........all that's required is for them to provide relevant documents that demonstrate their experience in their NOC.............For instance, I may have been working in a qualified NOC for years before completing a higher degree.

Ambygirl:
Good evening everyone.
Please I have question.

I am currently in my final year (final semester) here in Nigeria. Please can I still go ahead to write the IELTS exam or wait till I finish my final year exam and defense? I have like 3 to 4 months to finish. You can write IELTS now, get in the pool (if eligible) with whatever you have and evaluate your credentials when they are ready

(I have years of work experience)

For FSW, you do not need to:
* have the educational qualifications listed on your chosen NOC
* have a degree that pre-dates your employment start date
* wait to finish school to use work experience while schooling full time, if it meets the conditions of hours, pay etc.

Please see page 1 post 3

What I did was request transcript from 200 L to 400 L from my university then ed my bsc certificate and IJMB results on the documents part of my portal so they evaluated it without any delay. I hope this helps

hafdol:
Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of ECA evaluation by WES and i need clarification about something, I see that the highest level of education is what is required to submit for evaluation, In my case my BSc is only 3 years as i entered through direct entry (IJMB) and i saw the below statement on WES website:

"If you had direct entry into the second year of study, you must also provide documentation for prior study, e.g. IJMB exam certificate, A-level results, National Certificate of Education, National Diploma or Higher National Diploma."

My question is do i need to add IJMB as part of the evaluation which needs to be sent by ABU Zaria or just add only my BSc and wait till WES reaches out and i provide the exam certificates? I saw in the previous threads that some people also had issues with this specifically, I'd appreciate some answers or if anyone who had this issue and was able to sort it out could guide me.

Thank you

Good morning Everyone,

Please how do you tend to access your WES as my tends not to open most times as it either refers me back to the g page or says the site is down or I have been logged out.

Thank you.

Well done guys,

Opemipo2107:
Good evening seniors. Please can anyone explain how to calculate the current POF using the updated POF rate on their website. I can’t seem to figure out how people arrived at the $485. Thanks

If Nexford can send your academic transcript to WES, why not You’ll never know until you try.

Good day, I went on a road trip with friends to cotonou this year. I showed my national ID card at seme border. The police just smiled at us and told us to proceed. Post ITA I have to scan all port pages because of travel history. Should I attach LOE to my application, stating I used my national identity card? Or just leave it like that since I didn't use my port.

While leaving it out, ensure you remove anything on social media that shows you were there.

No evidence you went there unless like braine said.

This depends on your job duties. I used 10022 but it could be 11202 if you were not performing managerial duties.
Check page 1 of this thread for how this is evaluated.

by visiting the pnp website of each province to see if you meet their requirements. Some require job offers, some require having relatives in the province, so require having a specific noc, some pick from the express entey pool randomly.

I have read the recent discussions on this thread about WES evaluation.

I would like to ask for your best advise on which of my academic certificates to evaluate.

I have ND, HND and B.Tech.

ND - 2004 to 2006
HND - 2007 - 2009
B.Tech (HND to B.Tech conversion through Jamb DE) - 2017 - 2019

The B.Tech was for 2 calendar years but 3 academic years were done within that period (300L to 500L)


Considering the timeline of the certificates, which combination should I evaluate with WES that will give me the highest CRS score possible for me?

Salientsinmi:

As at the last time I ed Nexford University, they assured they were working things out with WES. Get in touch with them

Please, who has any link to any post-ITA group on WhatsApp?

My hubby had a similar experience. In his own case, his port was stamped to enter into Benin Republic by road. Thereafter, he travelled from Benin to Togo and from Togo to Ghana by road. His port was not stamped because he was part of a team that was led by a military convoy (this was during COVID 19 era). He flew out from Ghana back to Nigeria and his port was stamped. We explained all these in the LOE. And everything turned out fine. Please note that withholding information from IRCC can easily be taken as misrepresentation. So it is always better to lay everything out. Moreover, travelling (especially by land) without one's port being stamped is an occurrence in other parts of the world (a Google search will convince you). It is not peculiar to Africa. So my advice is that you explain in your LOE.

Hello Good morning,

Please at what point will ircc request for an updated pof for a family of 2?.

A little context; so I recently notified ircc of my marriage and they sent an email listing all the documents we have to submit. However, in the email, nowhere does it state we have to submit updated pof.

Will they request for it at a later date or is it just assumed that we should attach it?


Meanwhile what is happening to the exchange rate 🤕🤕
