FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[Pipis Husband]

Hello,
Please i want to confirm if an expired Nigerian drivers licence will be accepted in Canada, for driving experience confirmation as a renewal might not be ready before the travel date.

No, as it is expired, it is not a valid document and will not be accepted here. Go ahead and process a new driving licence and make arrangements to have it sent to you in Canada when it is ready. That is how others have been doing it, cheers.

Hello,
Does anyone have AVO contact phone number?
I received an email to submit roof of RPRF payment on 9/77/18. I replied it severally but received a postdelivery error message.
I used a different email address and it continue to bounce back.
Sent it via WEB FORM on CIC webpage, I did not receive any confirmation email.
My concern is that I am given 5 days to submit this, which of course, I have sent along with my passport on 26/06/2018, uploaded on my cic account and yet I am being asked to provide this proof.

Please, if you know how this can be solved do reply me.

Many thanks

Hi, please I need advice on my application. I requested for GCMS note and the analyst spotted a date discrepancy in my last job resignation date. Date I filled in my application is different from what is on my resignation letter. Kind advice what I should do to clarify the mistake.

Raise a CSE (Case Specific Enquiry) and write a Letter Of Explanation, explaining the mistake to Accra (I’m assuming it’s Accra).

Please I have a query that needs help.

I am unable to get my transcript from my University [UNILAG] because they said it is against the school rules to give transcript to individuals except it's an institution or a professional body.
Please what can I do because I have almost all other documents and ready to submit ?Got ITA on 25th June.

2ndly, my husband travelled to Ireland for 5 days when he was studying in uk. Unfortunately his passport/visa wasn't stamped that he came into Ireland because he went by road. Should we include it in his travel history or just skip it since the stamp isn't on his passport?

I don’t think you need your transcript to submit your application to IRCC. What you need is your certificate/diploma, which I believe you have.

It will be wise to include all the travel history in the application, firstly, to avoid inconsistency and secondly, not including it will be misrepresentation, and that could cause big problems.

Express Entry Application


(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)


1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp


2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.


How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp


3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp


4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp


The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.


5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng


You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp


You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp


Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp


For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.


6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:


a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp


b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html


c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp


d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp


e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.


f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.
