Congratulations again Nicola and thank you so much for being so transparent about your process a lot of us don’t know that we needed to declare that we were denied entry when doing flag-poling. There is so much to learn and take aways from this video. Thank you
Hi, how long did it take you to get the police cert? My partner and I got an ITA and we did the fingerprint, passport cert, etc., and sent them off last week (we didn't think to send to someone, we just sent it straight to the commissioner but will have someone collect and send us pics since everything is uploaded electronically). We paid for express (both mail and with the commissioner), but our document won't get to Ja til first week of Sept. So, I am curious how long it took you to get everything done. Thanks!
Hi Blake. Thanks so much for your question and your explanation so I can understand your case a bit better. When we did our police record check we paid for the 21 days service because we did it in advance knowing that we wouldn't be going back to Jamaica for a while so when we got the ITA we already had all that we needed. When we did the 21 days service they gave the person a date to come back to collect it within the 21 working days period and it was ready at that particular date. In your case, it is not a process I have dealt with before using the commissioner of police so I assume once the documents get to the office in Jamaica is when the processing time that you paid for will start to count. Once the timeframe passes it should be ready. The express is 3 days right? I forgot. If so, I would give at least a full week after the estimated arrival date before the person goes to check on the status of the report. At least that's what I would do... I'm also not sure of the arrangements you have. But they were on time with the report as per the date they gave for the person collecting to come back. Please ensure that the scan the person will do to send to you is in colour and the PDF quality is good to upload to IRCC. I wish you all the very best with your process and congratulations on your ITA ☺️
Hello Mickinetsystems Thank you for your question and for your congratulations. It depends. If your spouse has previous skilled work experience from your home country they may already be able to qualify for FSWP but if they reach the one year of work experience in Canada in a skilled job they may be in a better position. In this case, you won't have to show proof of funds to apply for PR once he qualifies for CEC. Also, the one year work experience in Canada may also give your husband more points in Express Entry. Your Canadian degree may also give you more points once you successfully complete an eligible program. Think through things and do your research to see what will enable you both to be in a good position to get more points and then do what you think is best and also when best to apply. Don't rush the process either. I know the uncertainty can cause you to want to hurry and get things out the way. I truly wish you all the very best with your studies and hope that you and your spouse will soon be in a good position to get an invitation to apply for PR.
Hello Bukolaajay. If you got your educational credentials assessed from your home country for immigration purposes, from my experience, it will not hurt to include it in your current EE profile. If you do, although you have a Canadian degree, you may get points under Skills Transferability for your foreign education. I included my WES evaluation for my bachelor's degree although I have a Canadian master's. For reference, you can consult this IRCC webpage: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/education-assessed/who.html
Hi Lateef thank you and thank you for your question. The husband can show the proof of funds but you will have to show evidence somehow that the wife has access to the money or if possible, turn the account into a joint account. I took the following from IRCC's website that shows the following: "You must be able to use this money to pay for your family’s costs of living (even if they aren’t coming with you). If your spouse is coming with you, you can count money you have together in a joint account. You may be able to count money in an account under your spouse’s name only, but you must prove you have access to the money." Here's the link: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html In our case, my husband and I showed some funds in a joint account as well as we both had funds in individual savings accounts. However, since my husband also qualified under CEC, we technically did not have to show proof of funds but we did anyway so that may have made a difference in our application. I wish you all the best.
Hey, when claiming points for CEC for your husband, was your husband physically in Canada while gaining this experience or was he working remotely outside of Canada at any point of time?
Hello Rohit, Thank you for your question. My husband was working in Canada for the entire time of his Canadian employment. As far as I know, any work experience you had working outside of Canada or remotely from outside of Canada does not count towards your Canadian experience for points so it's always best to stay in Canada to accumulate the needed Canadian work experience. You can look at the information on this link; I hope it helps. www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/economic-classes/experience/qualifying-work-experience.html
Hi , i would like to know , my husband is primary applicant , as a spouse do i need to provide educational credential evaluation? And also provide reference letters from employer?
Hi Pia, thank you for your questions. From what I know, as a spouse, if you wish to claim points for your education that was not obtained in Canada, it would be helpful to get the ECA especially if you have more than high school qualifications. You may read up more on this by following the link to IRCC's website www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/education-assessed/who.html You should only include jobs in your express entry profile for work experience you wish to claim points for. In my case, my husband was the principal applicant so I only included my Canadian work experience in my express entry profile and submited the letter from my Canadian employer. Any work experience you don't put in your profile, of you don't want to claim points for them, once you get the ITA you will list them in another section of the application. From IRCC's website, they have listed the following regarding employer letters for work experience: "Individuals who must submit this documentation The principal applicant Their spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)" The heading you should look for is Proof of work experience and the link to the website is as follows www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/applications-received-on-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html I wish you all the best with your application. Please make sure to read the information on IRCC's website to ensure you are comfortable with the information I provided before you proceed.
Hi. Thank you for your question. I'm really unsure if IRCC did deduct the points for the education since his degree was not accredited; however, we certainly had enough points even if they eventually did remove the 100+ points he received for his education since we received the additional 600 points from getting a nomination from the province. If you are ever worried about losing points for something, once losing the points wont cost you from being deemed ineligible if you should lose them and once they start processing your PR application, the best thing is to get a provincial nomination if you applied though EE before applying for a program you qualify for with a province. What the BC PNP program does ask in their application forms is if applicants completed an eligible post secondary degree and not if the degree is accredited. So from my assumption, the province apparently did not place emphasis on whether the program is accredited or not. I hope that my response made some sense.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations. Very informative. I'm also a recent UCW graduate and a Jamaican as well. I have these questions: 1. Does your husband have an IT job in Canada now when he made this application, or he applied just with past experience? 2. Did he have to get any supporting documents from his current employer to support this application apart from the job description? 3. As it relates to the household income threshold, are you saying because he is qualified for CEC you wrote a letter to justify that with this eligibility he doesn't need proof of funds? Thank you for this!
Hi Jestina thank you so much and congratulations on your graduation 😊 1. No, my husband's job here in Canada is not IT. The noc code for his current job and that applied for PR under is 22310 - Electrical and electronics engineering technologists and technicians. We proved that some of his previous job duties in Jamaica in 2 jobs he had before related to what he is doing now. So we claimed also for directly related work experience in the BC PNP application. 2. Yes, we needed to get supporting documents from his current employer to support the BC PNP application. The employer was willing to do this and all they had to do was provide company documents and complete a form specific to the role my husband is employed in and their efforts in the hiring process and so forth. The documents the company should provide if the pathway requires a job or job offer in Canada is located in the BC PNP Program Guide: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/www.welcomebc.ca/Immigrate-to-B-C/documents/BC-PNP-SI-EEBC-Program-Guide.aspx 3. Yes. We provided this proof to IRCC. He initially qualified for EE under CEC as well as our household income did meet and exceed BC's Wage/Income Threshold so we wrote a letter to IRCC explaining these and indicated that we do not need to show proof of funds. ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1145&top=29 check this under the "Note" section of this IRCC page. To BC PNP, in the BC PNP Profile and the Application for Nomination we have to outline the hourly salary (even if you are not paid hourly) as well as your job letter, and the document the company fills out will detail your annual salary. I hope my responses clarified what you wanted to know. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello Amustycow55, you are very welcome. We got our medicals done by a panel physician in Surrey. Here is the link to find the closest panel physician near you.

It was a good resource for my family and we do not regret our decision to make the purchase as it worked well in helping me to understand a lot of key things.
@@ThroughNickysLens I absolutely understand, it seems like a lot. Could you at least tell us which points you consider crucial for success within the entire course. For example: skilled work experience, NOC codes, documents, etc. So that one could inquire separately and be better equiped? Thanks again for what you're doing to help.
@@jupitergonewild Of course! I am not sure if you saw another video I did and posted on Saturday. I listed 5 essential points that persons should consider when preparing to take on their PR journeys ua-cam.com/video/1R2ACzZCleI/v-deo.htmlsi=naPpd4JI-wrLmxex. I also will post another video on Saturday coming with five other important points. Here are the points that the course emphasizes: Knowing and Understanding Express Entry, Doing Your Express Entry Profile well (answering questions properly), and Correctly Filling in Your Electronic Application for Permanent Residency after you get the ITA. Being Mindful of Your Document Checklist - The checklist is unique to you. Ensure that Your Documents are Done well including Evidence of Your Skilled work experiences and the use of letters of explanation where necessary. In the videos I did about the tips to prepare for your PR application (Part 2 to be posted this Saturday) I emphasized the following: Preparing for Your Permanent Residency Journey - Important Points: Part 1 1. Hold the Required Work Experience including Prior Work Experience Outside of Canada 2. Choose the Correct Noc Codes 3. Know the Educational Qualifications and Credential Evaluations Necessary for Eligible Programs 4. Understand the Pathways You are Eligible to Apply for PR 5. Understand the Program You are Invited to Apply Under to Provide the Necessary Documents and Ensure You Can Prove You Truly Meet the Requirements Part 2 1. Be Prepared to Show Proof of Funds If Necessary - In Canada or Outside of Country PR Applicants 2. Required Documents - Ensure you take keen note of your document checklist and provide all that are required 3. Importance of Accuracy and Truthful Information/ Ensuring that Information Across all Applications Align 4. Master and Provide Proper Evidence of Skilled Work Experience 5. Adequately Utilize Letters of Explanations I hope this will be helpful to you. * These points are mainly from my experiences and I always provide links in my description for you to fact-check* All the best!
Hello Adejumokealadesiun. From my knowledge test, someone with an accounting background can do a master's in business administration. You may check the requirements of the program to be sure. Some schools are easier to get into than others. I did an accounting course as part of the MBA I did. Do your search well to find a good program and ensure that if you are intending to come to Canada you will be eligible for a PGWP. All the very best.
Hello Francymen, thank you for your question. In most cases a job offer is required. There is at least one of the BC PNP programs that does not require a job offer. Off the top of my head, once you studied a particular subject area, and recently graduated and you qualify for the International Post-Graduate Stream in the BC PNP Program you won't need a job offer. Here is the link to check the eligibility of the various PNP Programs www.welcomebc.ca/Immigrate-to-B-C/Skills-Immigration#:~:text=The%20International%20Post%2DGraduate%20stream,to%20apply%20to%20this%20stream. I wish you all the best.
Hello Christnation. Costs for MBAs in Canada vary and can range from approximately $25,000 CAD up to maybe $40,000 CAD or more. The cost of the program at the time I studied was at the lower end of the range I quoted.
@@thebealemeredithfamily1456 No worries at all. My husband came to Canada on a visitor visa and then we applied for him to get a spousal open work permit as I was an international student at the time so he was eligible for an open work permit for the duration that I was a student. He started working pretty quickly in a skilled job so he eventually qualified under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry.
@@thebealemeredithfamily1456 You are welcome. Just so you know, you can look up what countries offer the CELPIP language test or you can do IELTS. Just be sure you do your research first to see what programs you are eligible for, if you need proof of funds and what your work experiences and/or education can qualify you for. Do the language test once you know you are well on your way and know what pathways are best for you as the language results are valid for only 2 years.

Hi, how long did it take you to get the police cert? My partner and I got an ITA and we did the fingerprint, passport cert, etc., and sent them off last week (we didn't think to send to someone, we just sent it straight to the commissioner but will have someone collect and send us pics since everything is uploaded electronically). We paid for express (both mail and with the commissioner), but our document won't get to Ja til first week of Sept. So, I am curious how long it took you to get everything done. Thanks!

Hello Mickinetsystems Thank you for your question and for your congratulations.

Here are the points that the course emphasizes:
Knowing and Understanding Express Entry, Doing Your Express Entry Profile well (answering questions properly), and Correctly Filling in Your Electronic Application for Permanent Residency after you get the ITA. Being Mindful of Your Document Checklist - The checklist is unique to you. Ensure that Your Documents are Done well including Evidence of Your Skilled work experiences and the use of letters of explanation where necessary.

Can someone in the accounting line study masters in business administration
Hello Adejumokealadesiun. From my knowledge test, someone with an accounting background can do a master's in business administration. You may check the requirements of the program to be sure. Some schools are easier to get into than others. I did an accounting course as part of the MBA I did.
Do your search well to find a good program and ensure that if you are intending to come to Canada you will be eligible for a PGWP. All the very best.
Thanks, i would make enquiries
You are very welcome@@jumokealese
hi. do you need a job offer before applying for BC pnp
Hello Francymen, thank you for your question. In most cases a job offer is required. There is at least one of the BC PNP programs that does not require a job offer. Off the top of my head, once you studied a particular subject area, and recently graduated and you qualify for the International Post-Graduate Stream in the BC PNP Program you won't need a job offer.
Here is the link to check the eligibility of the various PNP Programs www.welcomebc.ca/Immigrate-to-B-C/Skills-Immigration#:~:text=The%20International%20Post%2DGraduate%20stream,to%20apply%20to%20this%20stream.
I wish you all the best.

How much does your MBA cost for the duration of 2yrs?
Hello Christnation. Costs for MBAs in Canada vary and can range from approximately $25,000 CAD up to maybe $40,000 CAD or more. The cost of the program at the time I studied was at the lower end of the range I quoted.
So how did u get to Canada in the first place
In the beginning of the video I explained that I came to Canada and studied as an international student.
@@ThroughNickysLens sorry, that must have missed me . I thought it was your partner
@@thebealemeredithfamily1456 No worries at all. My husband came to Canada on a visitor visa and then we applied for him to get a spousal open work permit as I was an international student at the time so he was eligible for an open work permit for the duration that I was a student. He started working pretty quickly in a skilled job so he eventually qualified under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry.
What’s the name of the language test?
I did the CELPIP test. Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program. The General test for Immigration purposes.
@@ThroughNickysLens thank you
@@thebealemeredithfamily1456 You are welcome. Just so you know, you can look up what countries offer the CELPIP language test or you can do IELTS.
Just be sure you do your research first to see what programs you are eligible for, if you need proof of funds and what your work experiences and/or education can qualify you for.
Do the language test once you know you are well on your way and know what pathways are best for you as the language results are valid for only 2 years.
@@ThroughNickysLens appreciate your response thanks
Just in a month wao
Yes Pooja, from the time we noticed evidence that they started processing the file to when we received the confirmation of the PR approval.
