Good day.

Based on your below response, is here anyway someone can prove ties to first cousin. She's not not my sibling but we are related

Cousins do not count as sibling.

As a family of four(An adult and 3kids all below 14years) residing in Nigeria, I would like to know if PTE or CELPIP exams are acceptable alternatives to IELTS

CELPIP is acceptable.

Hello great people,
Please from your experience, do you think that having a Canadian TRV might help boost one’s chances in getting PR?

Oly23 happy new year fellow OD.

i have retaken my English tests, my CRS has become 462. What else can i do?

Pls house, does anybody know what the cut off for the next draw will be? I have a crs score of 462, what do I do next?
How do I go about the PNP? I mean how do I make myself available?
Do I just stay idle like I've been staying and the PNP will work out for me like I'll be selected?
My NOC is 31111 and I've been doing same job for 5 years.
If I marry girl with same NOC will it increase my/our crs and our chances?

Hi,

Is there mails(courier/cargo) that go back n forth the ship? I’m asking cos I had same situation few years ago, was stuck offshore when PPr landed and I just mailed my port back to land c/o a friend who couriered it to VFS.
Alternatively send a webform explain your situation, attach proof if you have (e.g ships manifest when you boarded/daily head count)& request for an extension to submit when you’re back onshore.

Congratulations

Ayolayemi:
Hello house,

please i need guidance on my PR path, i recently entered the pool and my score is 404 which i think something is wrong cos a friend of mine with similar qualification has 465.
I am 27 years old
I have 5 years working experience
I have both BSC and ATS result which qualifies as 4 years and 1 year education in Canada.
The only difference with my friend is IELTS, she has 8 in Listening, 8 in Reading, 7 in Writing and 7 in speaking with an overall of 7.5
while i have 8 in Listening, 7.5 in Reading, 6.5 in Writing and 7 in Speaking with an overall of 7.5
I am thinking the issue is my IELTS result

Can anyone shed light as to why we have a different score in the pool even though we have similar credentials and experience

And what can i do to boost my score.

Thanks

@Ayolayemi @ednut1 @Kunleos good day and how are you?

please how did you fill or what did you select for the specific columns when Evaluating your ATS certificate with WES:

- Type of Education : There are 6 options, please which did you select for the ATS evaluation - University Education; national diploma and higher national diploma education; Teacher training colleges; colleges of nursing and midwifery; Professional Education qualifications; secondary education.
- Name of the Institution: Was this where you indicated in full "Institute of Chartered ants of Nigeria (ICAN)"
- Name of Diploma/Certificate: Is this where you filled in "ing Technician Scheme"? or was it "Association of ing Technicians". Please what did you specifically write in here.

Please can you guide me imminently, the previous conversation on this topic is not clear and I can see that you got awarded. It just says, you filled ICAN as awarding body and ATS as credentials but no mention of the type of institution as that information is needed to complete the WES application.

Please my application for ATS WES evaluation has been rejected before because I did not fill out the respective columns above correctly. Can you please guide me? Please refer to screenshots attached

Thank you.
