Seniors, please help me clear my doubt.

I dropped out of school for one year to work and returned in 2018 to complete my Bachelor's degree.

I got a Job in December 2018 after my graduation and I have been in the same organization to date.

Can I use the year I dropped out of school as one year of experience? I have my employment letter and reference letter for this.

I also have a letter approved by the Senate in my school that I dropped out for one year due to financial constraints and returned in 2018 to complete my study.

Will this count as one year experience even though I did the job before completing my Bachelor's degree.

I later obtained a PGD in 2020. So right now I am claiming 2 or more certificates.

I just need to be clear on my years of experience.

Dear All,

Please i have a question, would it matter if First degree was 2 years (300 level and 400 level). I have the folllowing

- First Degree in ing from Babcock Univeristy but 2 years

- ICAN Certificate

- ATS Certificate

What do you think about evaluation of these documents please and how do i go about the WES evaluation, i am clueless about it.

How did u achieve the bolded. The requirement for claiming "2 more or cert" is that one of the cert must be at least 3 years-
Anyway WES has the final say here- ur ECA report will tell u if u can claim 2 or more cert. WES might still evaluate ur BSC ing as 3 years - just start the process here-www.wes.org and hope for the best.

My people..good evening.i have come again. Please i need advice. I just got ontario nomination,however,I just got married about two weeks ago. I hadn't updated my profile.with my new status and i got.the nomination with my status still as single. My hubby hasn't written ielts yet and if i add him,my score drops as a result
Now i am confused,should I reject this nomination? What is the best thing I should.do. my crs without him is 460,if I add him without his ielts,it's 442. He has ed to write in January however.but I am scared of throwing this away......I have been on this for two years. Please help me with advice

Lady if you have Nomination you get an extra 600 point or do you mean you just submitted the application.
If you are nominated by the province you should have an additional 600 points so whther your hubby wites iketa or not doesn't matter

December 17, 2020 is a remarkable day in PPR land. Infact, I am really excited (Grinning ear to ear) like say I don get (me wey still dey remark IELTS).

Anyways, May we all clinch this much coveted PPR o so we can experience this surreal feeling. Chai......I can imagine.

tysaxmalomo:
please can you send me a pm i ry to send but it keeps saying I've sent too many messages and that i should wait. dont know why that is

Responded

zorodninja:
It is PPR my people!!!!!

Congratulations

My humble opinion. Your work experience when you dropped should count so long as it is in an acceptable NOC Code for EE. As you explained to us here, also do the explanation in an LOE while submitting your application with the concerned documents. All the best.

Hi Betterlife2018,

I got ission into Babcock with my ICAN certificate so i was exempted from 100 level and 200 level that was how i came about 2 years First degree.

I also have a credential evaluation report from Foreign Credential Service of America. (FCSA)

I dont know if i answered your question

Yes, it is the same NOC.

NOC 2175 - Web Designers and Developers

I just want to be sure I am qualified to use 3 years of experience.

Ok- Like I explained earlier- start the process with WES - evaluate ur BSC and ATS ( note that ICAN itself is not favorably evaluated by WES). WES evaluates ATS favourably. Use the search button up here to look for previous posts on ATS ICAN evaluation so u can learn better.
Your final report from WES will tell you if u can claim 2 or more certificate point. I hope it helps.
All the best.

Congratulations to all PPR Clinchers. Your stories are inspiring. What a good way to end the year.

It is about 4.5 times my salary.

phabulous88:


When you say way more than your salary what do you mean? And by how much % ?

Companies pay bonuses (performance bonus, profit share, discretionary bonus, retention bonus, etc) and sometimes it can be 200% more than your salary.

If you want to make explore this route, you can get your company to do you letter and backdate Simple!

1. yes, NOCs under skill level 0, A and B are acceptable, provided they meet the conditions in this link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html#skilled

2. yes, provided at least one of the jobs is continuous, non-stop and meets the conditions in the link above

3. yes, I believe you can use 3 different NOCs, but your primary NOC must be one of them.

4. Sorry, no idea on NYSC issues as I really don't have any personal experience here. Many many people here have used it, please search "NYSC NOC" and limit to travel section for more details.

good luck!

Good morning,

I have considered getting her to sign a gift deed but my sister already signed a gift deed for me and I dont want to use 2 gift deeds.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm- it looks so simple and same time u can complicate matter for yourself if u are not careful. I am not in of ur boss giving u gift deed because of an over zealous VO might say your boss is not ur direct relative. Some people have used gift deed from friends and distance relative and it worked- but I am scared in this era of overzealous VO. I was a victim of gift deed from relative and my application was rejected in 2019. Though I appealed and it was overturned and PPR was released( long story).

I would say apply wisdom - look inward there are plenty ways to handle it- my opinion.

Hi house! Just wondering! If I'm yet to receive PPR and my port is 3 months to expiration, is this an issue?

I hear my port won't be stamped that I need to renew ASAP. Pls advise

Phabbs:
You don't need to reject Ontario nomination. When filling your OINP application, make sure you indicate that you are married and submit all requested doc for you and your partner including your POF covering for you and your spouse.
In my case, I got married after getting nomination from Ontario and before submitting my application. I included my spouse, spouse did not have IELTS nor ECA and it was approved.

Sis, your case is entirely different from @Denerystomborn because you married after receiving nomination from Ontario, so technically you were single as at being nominated. In her case, she was married and she didn't update her status as such.

In my own opinion, just as @Mmamaroon suggested, she should edit her status to Married/Spouse Unaccompanying to see if her CRS still meets that 460 or clarify her situation by mail, if possible that is, from Ontario. Otherwise, she might need to reject it and wait for hubby's addition(s) to her CRS points.

Mighty congratulations to everyone who, today, secured the much coveted and ultimate price in this journey. Grace and favour to y'all in the new home! Amen.

Goodday good people,has anyone requested EOR -writing for computer based IELTS before? How long did it take? I know BC says 2 to 21 days but i want to hear from ppl who have done it how long it took to get .I am really anxious.

Congratulations to those that got PPR, especially the early/mid 2019 AVO applicants, pray mine comes soon. Wait has been mental!!

Mmamaroon:


Perhaps you could paste the reference where you read that cousins are applicable for OINP.

Where and how did you indicate your cousin to OINP? From what I understand of OINP, they pick directly from the pool (based on CRS and NOC) and from your posts you just got the nomination, so where are you indicating your cousin? In the OINP application form? Also what is the breakdown of your CRS?

If the cousin reference is only in the OINP form (application checklist here..... note that there is no reference to family in the province but it may be in the form... no idea: https://www.ontario.ca/document/oinp-document-checklists/ontarios-express-entry-human-capital-priorities-stream-applicant-checklist#section-10 ), then please refer to my previous comment on LOE. Please note this is just my opinion, other people and a VO may view this scenario very differently.

Thank you.
I read the link you posted I'm and it is very helpful
If you or your spouse or common-law partner has

a relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada and is 18 or older, you must scan and the following documents:

relative’s birth certificate(s)
relative’s citizenship or permanent resident document(s)
evidence of relative’s residency in Canada, for example; property documents, employment documents, bank statements, tax documents that contain name address and information
Note: Relatives include parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, siblings, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews.

So I can't use relationship above excluding cousin.
Thank you. But my question if you have nephews in Canada and use it for Ontario as they mentioned above. Will EE accept it ?

However, SINP accept cousin. And you don't have to mention it on your EE application. But he or she must have be living in SINP for the past 12months
