In the academic section, the passages are all about academic topics, while in the general section, the passages are about a variety of topics, including general news, advertisements, and personal experiences. The writing section is also different. In the general section, there are two tasks: a letter and an essay. In the academic section, there are two tasks: a report and an essay.

Only for doctors7 _ Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (the professional body for Pharmacists)
http://www.pebc.ca/index.php/ci_id/3374/la_id/1.htm

This is for pharmacists only

A person asked me, where did you do your evaluation and why?

I told him that I did it at WES, even though I am a pharmacist, but it is possible and the difference is about 3000 Canadian dollars, which means about 4000 Egyptian pounds. So why don’t we all do it like this, what is the difference?

The difference is that when you travel and want to get your degree accredited, you must register with the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC). But because I am not sure if I will travel, I evaluated my degree at WES and that’s it, and I hope God will compensate me for the 322 Canadian dollars that WES took.

Is it okay for doctors to get their degrees evaluated at WES?

Honestly, I don’t know!

Now let’s talk about equivalence.

In Canada, equivalence is not required before travel, but you will not be able to work as a pharmacist there until you have completed the equivalence process, which consists of 3 parts. You may be able to work as a pharmacy assistant after completing the first part. Yes, a pharmacy assistant, you saw the shame, which means you will be stocking shelves and playing the role of an assistant here in Egypt. Of course, this is only for pharmacists, and I do not know the conditions for other professions.

How do we get our degree accredited, what are the subjects, and how do we obtain a license to practice the profession?

We will fly to the forum to get you all the answers to this question, which I personally, after I understood its division, consider it to be tens of times better than Facebook, because the posts are organized and saved, and they can be accessed quickly.

Question: I am confused about whether to immigrate to Canada, the Arab countries, or Europe and Italy.

Answer: The salaries in the Arab countries are low, and the sponsor treats you very badly. In Europe, the situation is still difficult, and there are few job opportunities, and they may even be non-existent. In addition, it is difficult to obtain a legal residence or citizenship except through marriage. Canada, on the other hand, grants you permanent residency from day one, then citizenship. You are treated as a Canadian citizen there, and you have all the rights and privileges, as well as the availability of job opportunities, good salaries, and excellent services.

Question: What are the stages that the immigration file goes through?

Question: Are there people who travel without an interview?

Answer: Yes, there are people who get their approval delivered to their home because Canada’s immigration depends on your obtaining a number of points that you get from educational certificates, experience, the number of children and wife, and language. If your grades are below the required grade, you will enter an interview, but if you pass the required grades, you do not need an interview. This happens in the case of submitting the TCF or TEF exam with your file. Immigration under the federal system does not have an interview.

Question: Give me an example of someone who can get a visa without an interview.

Answer: Someone with a certificate of accountant, engineer, chemist, pharmacist, doctor, social service, or with a doctorate, married, with two or more children, and with the Delft or Delft or TCF or TEF exam in French or with the IELTS in English. This is no longer in need of an interview because the purpose of the interview is to measure the level of language and since you sent an international exam recognized by the embassy proving your proficiency in the language to the required level, there is no need for an interview and you will receive a letter of approval and then you will send your passport to obtain the visa.

Question: Does your site provide assistance after obtaining the visa?

Answer: Yes, our site, through our services, qualifies those who have obtained the approval of the embassy in the interview or those who have obtained the approval without an interview and are waiting for the visa, taking advantage of this period before travelling to prepare immigrants for life in Canada and equivalence of educational certificates and others.

Question: Is your site obligated to find us a job or accommodation in Canada?

Answer: No. Our role is only to help you obtain a visa for yourself and your family and to prepare you for life in Canada before travelling. Work and accommodation are a simple matter that can be arranged in the early days of travel.

Question: What is meant by family?

Answer: The family is the wife and children, and the father and mother and siblings are not meant. Therefore, when you are asked to make a family register, mention the wife and children if you are married, and if you are single, mention your mother, father, and siblings.

Question: How do I do the equivalence of my certificates?

Answer: Each specialization has its own equivalence, which is different from the other. The most famous is the equivalence of businessmen, doctors, pharmacists, and engineers. This starts in preparation for it after obtaining the approval of the embassy and the office will help you in that.

Question: Do some immigrants fail despite their high educational qualifications?

Answer: Yes, it fails those who are unable to equate his certificate, either because it is weak in language level or laziness and do not want to study and do not tire themselves, and these people blame Canada, while most succeed in reversing the previous reasons.

Question: Is it a good idea to start studying from scratch and change my career?

Question: Does the spouse, whether husband or wife, need to take IELTS?

Answer: Yes, the spouse must take the IELTS test and score a total of 4.55 or its equivalent in any Australian-approved language test in the final result of the test, regardless of how many bands they scored in each band of the test. In the event of receiving an invitation and not submitting the language test results for the wife/husband, you will be required to pay 4800 Australian dollars to guarantee the issuance of the visa.

Question: What are the conditions for obtaining 5 points from the spouse?

Answer: To obtain 5 points from the spouse, the spouse must have a job that is in demand in Australia and the qualification is only equated by the responsible authority in accordance with the mentioned in lists of required professions.

Note that the spouse’s profession must be on the same list as the main applicant and obtain 6666 in the IELTS test or its equivalent in any test recognized by the Australian Immigration Department.

Question: The right age to apply to Australia

Answer: No less than 18 years old and no more than 45 years old.

Question: The difference between visas 189/190/489

Answer: 189/This is an unlimited visa with conditions. The one who gets a grant can work anywhere and move as he pleases, and after four years, he has the right to apply for citizenship.

Visa 190/This is a state nomination, you must work in this state for two years, and then you can move at your convenience.

These two visas give you the right to insurance, education, and citizenship for you and your children.

489/ This is a work visa for 44 years and has two types: one type of regional county nomination within a specific state and another type is family sponsorship, which is in the case of having first- or second-degree relatives in Australia with Australian residence or citizenship and they submit an application for sponsorship of the applicant, but this does not negate the fact that the same conditions apply to him, from language test, equivalency, and maximum age limit.

Both give 10 points in the event of approval of the nomination request, whether it is a county or a family.

Question: I don’t have experience, is it possible to immigrate?

Answer: Theoretically, it is possible you achieve the 600 points without the need for experience points, but there are agencies that require a minimum of experience in order to accept the equivalence of the qualification itself and be aware that the Australian immigration system is based on competition, so the 60 points mean that you can apply, but this is not a guarantee that you will be selected.

Question: Do the documents after translation need to be authenticated?

Answer: No, of course, Australia does not require authentication, send it directly. Unless the equivalence authority requests a copy of the original documents, in this case, you need to authenticate your documents from an office accredited by the immigration department or from the Australian embassy in your country and you do not need to authenticate the foreign ministry.

Question: Is it considered experience if I trained before graduation?

Answer: The experience must have been obtained after graduation and obtaining the qualification. Experience before graduation is considered training, not practical experience.

Question: How do I calculate immigration points?

Answer: You calculate your points from here.

Question: Who are the people I can add to the visa?

Answer: Partner and children.

Question: What about my parents? I want them to come with me.

Answer: After you go, God willing, and settle down, you can apply for a second visa for your parents, but it is expensive, about 20,000 dollars, and you are responsible for in everything. However, there is a cheaper way to apply for a tourist visa for them, and since you are a resident, this gives strength to the file you submit and is usually approved.

Question: Does Australia accept other than IELTS?

Answer: Of course, do not limit yourself to the following:

  • PTE
  • TOEFL (iBT)
  • OET
  • CAE**

Question: What if my name on the experience certificate is not the same as my passport, for example, it is quadruple instead of quintuple or a changed letter, for example?

Answer: In this case, you either need to do a statutory deceleration explaining why this change occurred, or you need to change your passport to the correct data and name that is on the certificates.

Question: Is it required when I go to work the same job as the visa?

Answer: No, it is not required.

Question: Can experience be different from the specialization?

Answer: In most specializations and assessment bodies, unfortunately, it is required that the experience be the same specialization, unlike in Canada. In some bodies, they accept a difference in qualification from experience, but years of experience are deducted, and the deduction may reach 6 years of experience.

Question: Do dentists have immigration?

Answer: Yes, of course, but you must pass the Australian board before travelling. In fact, it is said that doctors and pharmacists have better opportunities in Canada as the assessment is easier regardless of whether they work when they go or not. As for engineers, their opportunities will be higher in Australia.

Question: Where is the medical examination, and do I just do it?

Answer: The place was originally Anglo-American, but now it has changed to a hospital called Mecca, according to the people who were blessed and did it recently. Of course, the whole family has a medical examination, even if you are the one travelling alone.

Question: Is it possible to convert or break the tourist visa from there?

Answer: Absolutely not, nor can you even work.

Question: What is the validity period of the assessment?

Answer: Its validity is 5 years, but it is possible that you will be asked for a new IELTS.

Question: I heard that the validity of IELTS is 3 years, is that true?

Answer: Yes, it is true.

Question: Is the 60 points still the minimum for submission, or has it changed to 70?

Answer: The points have not changed, all that happened is that the round increases in July due to the high competition, then it starts to calm down and return to 60 in August/September/October/November, then it increases again according to the competitive numbers, and you may find the jobs that do not have high competition, their rounds are the same as they are.

 .

Question: If I have 55/60/65 and I hear that the round takes a high score, should I apply or not?

Answer: Of course, apply and open a visa 189/190/4899 and rely on God. Just be well-studied in your affairs in the region, jobs, housing conditions, and so on.

Question: If I studied for a master’s degree for two years or a doctorate, can I apply for PR?

Answer: Of course, you can, because you are allowed to work part-time, so the two years will be counted as one year of work, and this will be very beneficial for you in terms of points and priority for winning because you studied there. All of these are points in your favour.

Question: What are the diseases that prevent the owner?

Answer: If the cost of the disease to the state is more than 250,000 Australian dollars per year, unfortunately, it will be rejected even if it is one pound. Second, some diseases may be rejected in some jobs. Therefore, each applicant for a job must research well and analyze it, as they say, to avoid risk.

Question: If one of my certificates was not registered with insurance and the salary was cash, no bank transfer? What is the solution?

Answer: In this case, there is nothing you can do but bring payslips, which is the receipt that you used to receive salaries from the company and that covers the entire period. We must say that it is not strong evidence and there is a possibility that it will not be taken into account because the original in evidence is that it is from a third party other than you and the company.

Question: Is racism higher than in Canada?

Answer: The issue of racism is not in the form that is circulating, you will find it in individual cases, you will find that there may be an unpleasant look or a word that bothers you from someone, but there is a law that criminalizes and prevents racism. If this person practices racism with you explicitly, he knows that the law will protect you, so he will not do it in a disturbing way. This has become the case for Arabs everywhere, unfortunately, but the advantage here is that the law protects you and will be applied in favour of this Australian.

Answer: No, it is not necessary at all, and no one has the authority to speed up the procedures or facilitate them or affect in any way the course of immigration procedures. The matter is based on the competence of the applicant only.

Question: How do I get a work contract to Australia?

Answer: By entering Australian job sites and looking for a company that hires people who are not residents. This is generally very rare, as all ads require people who are already in Australia and are residents and have the right to work. The matter is within the realm of the impossible after the restrictions that were imposed on Visa 457.

Question: Is it possible to enter Australia to study and then apply for immigration from there?

Answer: Each profession and specialization has a different accreditation body with different fees, applications, and systems.

Question: To what extent does the list of professions in Australia change?

Answer: It changes according to the change in the labour market and its requirements. For example, if a certain job is fully qualified, it is removed from the lists, and the professions that are close to the limit of satisfaction are flagged, meaning that the market has begun to saturate with the owners of this profession and is nominated for removal from the lists soon.

Question: How long does it take for the visa to be issued?

Answer: This depends on the type of visa that was invited to.

189 from 8 to 11 months after the invitation

190 from 9 to 13 months after the invitation

Answer: Unfortunately, no.

Question: Are architects’ certificates equivalent or not?

Answer: Of course, they are equivalent, but the equivalence body requires that the study be 55 years old. That is why it is difficult to evaluate graduates of the engineering department of architecture, as they have a preparatory year and 4 years of architecture. However, fine arts are easily approved, or the Arab Academy, and here is a link to the experience of evaluating an architect for one of our members.

https://m.facebook.com/groups/283255795167217?view=permalink&id=787190898107035

Question: What is the meaning of equivalence of degrees?

Answer: The equivalence of a certificate means that the scientific content and materials that were studied in your country to obtain the qualification are evaluated and compared to the scientific content that the Australian citizen takes to obtain the same qualification.

In the same way, experience is equated by comparing the job duties that you do in your job at your workplace and comparing them to the Australian code of job duties that the owner of this profession is supposed to do in Australia.

Question:  Can I raise my children in an Islamic way in a foreign country? I am worried that the law there will take them away from me after the legal age, which is that a boy or girl after the age of 16 has no authority over their parents.

Answer: I have always believed that the only safety valve in this matter is to raise the child Islamically, instil values in them, teach them religion, and monitor them from the beginning of their awareness to the age of five to seven. This is like a reinforced concrete foundation inside the child, and any other shells that will catch up with them will be easy to clean up immediately by following up, and the seed will remain intact.

So, you have been working for 15/16 years to plant and establish a religion, righteousness, religion, monitoring, and Islamic education with care. It is impossible that after reaching the age set in these Western countries, all of this will go with the wind unless you have not tightened and improved the construction.

Education is a great responsibility in all environments, and Egypt has not become an easy environment for education. So, we should raise our children on cleanliness in these countries, the most important thing is to plan for their education, follow-up, and care.

Question: I am a ceramic technician, or an electrician, or … Do we have immigration and evaluation?

Answer: You have an evaluation and you must have a certificate of the trade “diploma of industries for example” in addition to experience, insurance, and IELTS not less than 6666.
