yomifowe: I sent mty documents to wes last week and got a mail that it has been received. I then went ahead to pay yesterday. I checked my statue this morning and still saw 'waiting for required documents'

Pls my people, what should i do?

frankad: Hello Solomonwis, damkollins and the other gurus, weldone for the good work you guys have been doing so far.
I'll like to confirm something please...
My husband's IELTS results are as follows:
Listening: 7.0
Reading: 5.5
Writing: 6.5
Speaking: 7.0
Overall: 6.5
He is the principal applicant. I understand that this falls below the 24 points required, so I as the wife I'm thinking of registering for the next IELTS test.
My question is: Can I take the test and have my result merged with his own to qualify for us to apply? Or does he also need to take the test again?
Please assist.

Simple. You send in a copy of your certificate and your school sends in your transcripts. Have you mandated your school to send that in?

yomifowe:

Thanks. The transcript my school sent has already been received by them and i don't have a copy, I only have my certificate photocopy. After paying esterday, I wrote to notify them of the sent documents but yet to get any reply.

damkollins:
[b]Madam...I commend your effort and I will still encourage you to do more.
As good as your hubby's result is,the only dark spot is the reading aspect where he got 5.5.The standard requirement is that a principal applicant needs to get minimum of 6 band marks in ALL 4 language tests in a sitting.Scoring high band marks in 3 while one is less than 6 is considered insufficient for FSW application as a principal applicant.
For now,evaluate your hubby's points needed to make 67 points,Let him register for a new IELTS general test(Compulsorily because the current one can not fly).
Encourage him to strive to make minimum 6 band marks in all the four test (L,W,S&R) and he will be cool with the result.
In encouraging him and not to take any chances,if you can afford it,you can register also....for you,you don't need to score up to 6 band marks to donate your adaptability points of 5 marks to the family.With barely 4 band marks in all four tests,the five points is assured and guaranteed.
For now,let him register as soon as he can.If you don't have materials for practice,ask here on the forum leaving your email address,it will be forwarded to you.
I wish you the very best.
Cheers.[/b]

damkollins:
Just give them till the end of the week.
I'm sure they will sort it out soonest.
You may send a reminder mail to them again.
Cheers.

solomonwis:

When applying for FSWP (after you must have obtained your ECA result),you will need both copies of your educational certificate as well as copies of your transcripts. You should make effort to obtain a student copy of your transcripts.

yomifowe:

Really? But i am aware that schools don't issue transcript by hand to graduate student except institutions. So how am i supposed to get a copy?

solomonwis:

There is always a student copy issued....I am sure a lot of people have that here..

meta4:
i am currently usibg ICAS, yes the require it, they have assessed my documents remaining the official document (transcript) my school is yet to send to them. so far so good.

Ekpekus1:
Transcript is not one of the required documents for 2014/15 FSWP. The checklist prove thus. So transcript ain't needed as the ECA would have covered that.

solomonwis:

I stressed that because I have seen quite a number of people make that mistake (and yes, I have seen an application returned simply because the applicant assumed ECA result covers your educational qualification,especially your certificate). This is a wrong notion.

You might want to read more (carefully this time)using the checklist attached here as a guide http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf

(List number 13 on the checklist specifically mentioned what you claim to be "unnecessary".

bjayzeez: I was going to call icas and ask if my transcript have been sent for verification, and I got this when I checked the file status. I know it may seem pretty obvious, but does that mean my unis have responded to their verification requests? Also, I haven't sent my WAEC results.... Would this have an implication? Biko I wanna know. I need help anyone. Thanks

..by the way, I love the edit option on my mobile

seemples: Good morning my ogas and madames, I have learnt a huge lot since i stumbled on this site. Thanks and many thanks all for your writings.

I think I'm starting very late but i still want to give the program a shot.

I want to request for my transcript but i am far from my school location so I filled out the WES academic request form softcopy, appended my scanned signature and sent to someone to help print out and submit to school.
Please is that okay as it will accompany the transcript straight back to WES or must i fill the request form with pen?

Kindly answer please

damkollins:
Its better late than never.....Wishing you the best.
You are okay with your gesture.
Since you have made sure your electronic signature and personal details with reference number(from WES after payment and registration) are all contained in it....you are cool.
You don't have to fill it with pen.
Many of us lived far away from our academic institutions also and so we employed same strategy which turned out positive.
Wishing you the best.
Cheers.

benik:

Yes you are on track

damkollins:
Yes some school gives while some doesn't or perhaps ,the students themselves never thought of asking or applying for it.
I stand to be corrected ,a reliable buddy from Unilag told me that the school doesn't issue student's copy of the transcripts.
Some schools even give it out for graduating students while some doesn't soooooo different schools with different policy.
Cheers.

Ekpekus1:
The checklist stated "IF AVAILABLE" as regard transcript. Certainly, copies of the certificates will be sent.
