Ok, thank you. i am asking because i hear some persons say they get it done in less than 20days. so i am wondering...

It is possible but the 20 days will start counting after IQAS must have received all the documents. The current official processing time is 30 business days ( It can be +30 business days or -30 business days though).

twaintoy:
My brother has a similar case to yours. But he got 6.5 in reading. Please guys, if he applies for remarking, would it be possible for them to remark it?
Thank you.

Reading and listening modules are less likely to be upgraded compared to listening and writing which are subjective.

Lol. U av join bad gang.

Uncle this your writing.... I really, sincerely hope they are typos....

Hi everyone,

Tips on getting great scores, as well as personal experience in Writing and speaking will be appreciated. Thanks.

Personally, I tried to check online for the 3/4 formats of type 2 essay questions . I also studied how to answer type 1 letters.

I later on downloaded and printed solutions to type 1 and 2 questions which I studied thoroughly. Luckily for me, questions were repeated which made me finish very fast.

Pay attention to paraphrasing and not repeating the question, the number of paragraphs in order to answer the question, word length, vocabulary etc.

This is my opinion.

Practice listening tests using youtube videos.

Visit ieltsliz for speaking tips and ieltsbuddy for reading and writing.

Also, you should watch some speaking test videos on youtube to have a full understanding of how the speaking test is conducted.

Honestly, the key to having great band scores in ielts is practice.

Thanks so much for your reply.

Please if you don't mind me asking do you mean saving plan as pension.....

Thanks again

Hi @IAMCOMING

The proof of compensation requirement is designed to further reinforce claims that you were employed and were paid for your services... not that you just got somebody to write you a reference letter. You don't have to provide everything mentioned in the guide. Pay slips or Bank Statements showing salary credits to your account is enough. If you have income tax clearance certificates, you can include those as well. I approached my Bank to print out my first 3 months bank statement (which was in 2005 and my last three months( which was 2015) even though the account had been closed two years ago. They obliged me.

Secondly my settlement fund was in the form of a savings plan that had been growing steadily for more than 4 years. I didn't have the cash in my bank but I still presented my Bank Statement. I got my fund manager to write me letter stating the current balance on my savings plan and the surrender value should I decide to liquidate into cash immediately.

Finally, I did some research on the Province and wrote a short piece enumerating my the personal skills, qualification, work experience and my excellent English skills as demonstrated by good scores in IELTS. I ended by mentioning that I had an aunt who resides in Ontario who had promised to ensure a seamless integration into the society and culture for my family.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hello All. Please I have a question. I have gotten ITA and I am preparing my documents for submission this week or next week. I am the principal applicant but I am going with my husband. We did our medicals and mine was good but he has high BP and we were not able to get it down all day. My question is this- How much does his high BP (150/100)affect our chances of positive feedback on our application?

Also please is there a whatsapp group I can join?

No mind the BP wahala, I had a similar case on my medicals but I passed. Nevertheless steps must be taken to normalize it for general well being and good health. All the best in your application.

Check Youtube for Speaking Band 8 and 9 videos and observe carefully. The broader the range of vocabulary the better, complex construction and sentences you use in the writing and speaking will help you as well. Also the chain of thought and fluidity in your expressions all count towards at least an 8 in the Writing and Speaking.

Make I modify my typos before Wura27 go start dey "broda broda" me

Congrats

Please, does anyone know Province I can get a job or nomination as a Medical Laboratory Technologist? Your response will be highly appreciated.

A savings plan is an investment in which an individual contributes money on on regular basis in order to reach a short or long term financial goal. The funds are usually invested by a fund manager in equities, commodities etc. It is quite different from a Pension Plan.

Hope this clarifies.

Please can you elaborate more on the investment saving plan and the bank involved. I want to start saving but I don't know the one to do.

sammyacbxyz:
I am a bit confused. Please, what is the difference between federal skilled worker outland and PNP outland application.

If i got nominated by Ontario while in the express entry pool and got ITA, is my application FSW-O or PNP-O?

You are PNP-O

Gurus in the house I really need answers to this questions

please does anyone know if having a B.sc and a diploma from French institute(in nigeria) can be considered as having 2 or more certificates when calculating your CRS scores? and if yes, can the French diploma be evaluated?

Wow! I am so inspired by all the IELTS testimonies I have read today.

My sister is about to do hers for the 3rd time. We are praying for success for her and for everyone else looking to cross the IELTS hurdle. I will make sure she reads this, which I am sure will motivate and encourage her.

It will all end in praise!

but i got my breakthrough at my fourth attempt and got 8.5 in listening. i have gotten my ITA and waiting for PPR. have faith. all my four attempt were done this year.

Feygbe:
Hello everyone,

Please I need help with the following questions.
1. In the address history, must I list all places lived in, including places travelled to for short periods?

2. In the ID document, do I list my old and new passport?

3. Under education, I have two degrees, a BSc and MD. I only have ECA for the BSc. Do I list both qualifications in education? Or I list only the BSc and then mention the MD in personal history?

Thank you.

1. You can list places that you actually lived and their addresses. Temporary addresses may not matter.

2. Your current valid passport suffices, you don't really need to include expired ones.

3. List both qualifications and support with valid documents by uploading scanned copies of the certificates and also mention them in personal history. Don't forget to include your IELTS result, ECA...

Which hospital did u have Ur medicals done please? Seems some hospitals delay than others...am I right seniors?

Please house, i have read a lot on this thread, but there is something i want to ask. Do you get extra point for your ECA report and that of your spose? If you do, what exactly is the point? Does it boast your overall score 'cos' my score is 339. i intend re-writing IELTS again to boast my former score of LSRW 8/7/6/6.5. Thanks for your prompt response.

Our application was definitely longer on the average, however, still within the 6 months timeline so its okay!

Thank you.

Hamiltondreamer:


Sorry for the delayed response, congratulations on your PPR . I see your timeline is timely. Was reading this thread and saw where there is some speculation of delayed processing in timeline of government workers. Just wanted to know the timeline of other government workers. Thanks

Hello bro/ sis,
We in Saudi Arabia. Please how did you get your PCC?
Is it ok if we get it on vacation?

For Nigerian PCC, I got it while I was in vacation, But after submitting, I realised that some Indians have been refused for this. Though yet to see any Nigerian refused for this cause, some did same and had no issues.

However, to be on a safe side, when I returned to Saudi, I requested for another one and uploaded to CIC via cse and email.
I just contacted the same police man, I didn't tell him I was outside the country so he wouldn't bill me, I had the forms, I thumb printed them myself and scanned to him. He printed, did the PCC and scanned everything to me which I uploaded.

I didn't take to Nigerian embassy here though it's advised. This is because I know it's not really compulsory. But if you wanna attest with them, then it should be sent by courier to you from Nigeria and not scanned so it stays original.


For Saudi PCC, you need a PCC request letter from Canadian embassy in Riyadh. Simply email them and say you will pick up letter at their gate. They will reply and tell you when to visit the embassy at gate.

So you travel to riyadh to get this PCC request letter from the embassy gate and go to MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to attest it. Opposite MOFA building, there is a place to pay for it before going into MOFA itself.

After attestation, you take this letter to the CIA police headquarters in Batik and do ur PCC. It's free. After 2 - 4days you pick it up.

It's in Arabic, so you translate it at a certified translators office.

That's all!!

It looks like a longthing.......but with PPR in demand, all things are possible

My shock too oh. Never thought there would be any movement on a weekend...Sunday for that too. Anyway I had just come from church where I had prayed some prayers to move the process

Yes man, I kind of abandoned the whole process in my mind and didn't even bother to recreate my profile after it last expired because I was nowhere near the CRS for ITA for about a year. A friend already in Canny alerted me when the CRS cutoff started dropping and even that I didn't recreate till after 2 draws where I could have gotten ITA. I shook and revived myself again by the grace of God and that's how far we come. Everyone should keep hope alive. There is hope!!
