All in the name of having a perfect processing.
I did my diploma and Bsc in the same university. The diploma (satelite campus) had to be done to gain the admission then. Though it was done as a direct entry to the university.
I only sent my BSc to WES and it has been evaluated to four years equivalent. Mind you, I started from 200level in the university (3yrs in all).
Now, do I include my diploma along with my BSc with ECA in the package?
If yes, can I use notification of result? As I don't have a ceritficate
OR should I omit the diploma?
Thanks
Just include the photocopy of the statement of result and you will be fine.
Cheers.

On the alternative,please try to contact your back physically and asked if there is a pending transaction on your account.
A buddy of mine was in same issue yesterday.It was at Gtbank that it was realized that there was a pending transaction from CIC on the account which needs the applicant's approval.
Once the approval was given,the account was debited immediately.
Funny thing is that the banks sometimes do not give approvals for such transactions and they will never notify applicants for such.When this happens after about 48 or 72 hours,the transaction will be denied.This has happened to me before and cost me alot of additional waiting time which is why I always advised applicants to go for demand draft(DD) because not all applicants find it rosy with credit card debit.
I really pray yours do not fall into this category....please visit your bank and explain further to a senior bank official to the one you have met before.
Cheers.

Wow, Damkollins this is very valuable information. I'll do that this morning I'll go to their Ph head office. This is why its good to ask questions. Thanks again bros.

Hi all,

Go through the link below and you will be able to pay with you credit card..
https://ielts.britishcouncil.org/CountryExamSearch.aspx
Alternatively,you can raise a bank draft IFO ''British Council'' and go to the nearest British council office to pick your date.
Paying through credit card in the link above will be N35,000
Raising a draft IFO of British council will cost you N38,000.....your draft must be N38,000.

Hi Guys,
In my original application package, I missed to mention the “Address of Payer” in the “Section A” of fee payment form. My fee payment mode is Credit Card. My spouse is the payer. Is Address mandatory to swipe card. What can i do now. I am a sep 3rd applicant. If i send a new Fee payment form, will they accept it?
Thanks
Even though this not mandatory but you can send it to free you mind.
The most important thing for a credit card payer is the section B where the name of the cardholder and the signature signifying the authorization of the cardholder to deduct the required amount from the credit card.I'm sure this has been done for you.
Like I said to clear your conscience,send another as additional document stating all your personal details,NOC,Passport number,date of birth and any other information to trace your application.
Cheers.

Relax...it may take some days for them to update your details.
Why did you send it through NIPOST?...You should have send through courier.
Expect some delays on the NIPOST mail as you can not track it.
But all will be fine.

Hi @ Damkollins,
I have posted here before now about the inaccessibility of my WES report by CIC online. My evaluation was done in 2013 and when I got WES notification for a fee payment of $50.85 (for my report to be visible to CIC), I paid on 3rd October, 2014 through a link given me by WES.
Surprisingly, I got an email from CIC yesterday saying WES has not released my online report for visibility.
Is there anything you have to say to this?

Hi Damkollins, Anbako and others

I went to First Bank and discussed with the Manager. I went with a copy of the fee payment form. He told me the transaction is not possible with the fee payment form alone without either my PIN or a letter authorising the payment which would contain CIC's account no. He also says the CIC process is too open and is subjec to fraud. Does that mean ALL debit cards from Nigeria cannot do the job?

Can I know what your friend had to do? Thanks

[b]I'm sure the official you spoke to have no clue about what you told him or perhaps,you are unable to communicate to him in a language that will be understandable to him or her.I'm sure yourself knows that WES doesn't need your pin number to access your account when you pay for assessment like wise British doesn't need your pin number to access your account when you pay for IELTS registration .
CIC have your authorization on the fee form where you have filled your card details,name of the cardholder,card numbers and the security number digits at the back of your card.I also assume you sign the fee payment form before submission .Once all these ha been done,that is the authorization needed to deduct the cash.
Contrary to you,credit and debit cards are acceptable for CIC processing fees even though so many reasons avail that makes it unpredictable .....just that it affected me.
So many applicants in Nigeria have been successful including a recent experience of my friend i share with you.
My friend only gave a verbal confirmation/authorization without the so called pin code and it was debited within 10mins.
These are info you should have been aware of before using this card.......I'm sure the bank official is not well updated to understand what you explained to him or her.

Also in respect to DoubleBam2x's post, i believe my type of assesment with WES can be independently viewed by CIC. Lastly, how was your medicals or you haven't gone?

Hello,

Could you let us know banks in Nigeria that issue DD in Canadian dollars so we explore this option rather than the unpredictable nature of using the debit card. More so, what happens to the DD just in case your application is unsuccessful?

Thanks

Gtbank,Plural house at Oyin Jolayemi is popular to get your draft done provided you have your dorm account.
Alternatively,you can initiate the FX draft from your internet banking and ask it to be delivered to the nearest Gtbank branch near you to pick it up or nominate a proxy on your behalf to pick it up.
In case your DD is unsuccessful,you can REPURCHASE IT BACK to your dorm account...it will be done within 10 working days.

I share your sentiments too. In fact i later went to GTB - where I also have an account- to discuss these same issues and it was a different story. I was told the direct opposite that the process is quite easy, the only thing is that they might hold the funds for a day or two but I'll still get an alert.

Now, I am thinking of writing to CIC to inquire about the status of my application. I think its against the rules to send multiple applications under the same NOC else I would have paid for a copy if my Ielts from British Council and obtained GTB DD to go with it.
Can someone please furnish me with the email address for specific case enquiries? I find it difficult to fold my arms and just wait for so long. Kindly advise.

Thank you for your reply. Like i said in my post, i have visited the bank - twice, but the guys seem clueless. For now, maybe i'll try to contact Interswitch, i'm not sure how but i'll have to try. Frankly, this waiting game is painful - i pray i laugh at the end of all this

i think you can also call their contact center on the internet to verify that the card is activated.
Better still, try and do a test debit on it just to be sure it's ok.
also, at the back of your card, there should be a number to contact for any enquiries.
i hope this helps a bit.

@Damkollins,Solomonwise and others, please i need your advice asap.

I am doing my ECA with ICAS and on 10/10/2014, my file status was changed to, '' Application reviewed for completeness and placed in queue for assessment''. Also,by tracking the courier company online, my last document/transcript got to ICAS 23/09/2014 even though my file was updated 10/10/2014. And when I sent them an email last week they replied me that the reference date they are using for my file is the date they got my last document which is 23/09/2014 and not the date it was updated on their system (10/10/2014). Do you think my ECA Report will be ready on time and I can submit my package to CIC before 31st December 2014? Or would you advice i start another ECA with WES instead?

Secondly, I got into ICAS wahala because I graduated from Uniport and WES clearly stated that they don't evaluate Uniport results. But i also have a ND and HND from PTI. If i am to turn to WES to evaluate only my ND and HND, how many points would that give me and how long would it take for the Report to be ready.

NB: All other documents needed for me to submit my FSW application are ready.
Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Jetspeed: 8:59am On Oct 25, 2014
I f I may answer your question. My ND and HND(2.1) was accessed as 3yr Canadian Diploma +1 yr Canadian postgraduate certificate, That gives 22points
