that's the potential delay am afraid of, has anybody tried ICAS , is it the same process, the process of sending photocopy back to the school for verification will take a long time , I don't if ICAS do the same

From what I've gathered, WES is still your best option, ICAS is a long thing. What you need to do is get someone who will be helping you fast-track the processing at the school end while you try and get it by hand and send via courier

Hello house!!!

PLS can I apply for the EE with 1 year experience?

1 year is the minimum period of work experience that is required and so, you can apply. However, based on all other considerations, I think you should use the Canadatool on CIC to find out if you qualify, and check your score on the fsw scale as well to see if you will get the pass mark, before you continue unto proper application

badenugba:

can someone please help with this

You will have to do evaluation for your qualifications first to know it's Canadian equivalent and consequently, what marks it will fetch you under the scheme. However, my friend's HND and someone on this forum as well, was evaluated 3year Canadian diploma and one year postgraduate diploma

Raise the draft together with a covering letter showing the fee breakdown.

Thank you DoubleBam2X, I appreciate

Plenty people went for the interview yesterday yet nobody has posted. From hearsay I hear it was...tough.
Did you use agent? Why? What's the number of chairs in your canteen? Your office address etc. People working in the same office had their answers compared. The interview was inconclusive. They said they would get back to them later.
Somebody plz post your experience!

Hi, for online payments, please use this link, https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

You register at the location, make your payment with your card and a receipt is instantly generated and sent to your email. Print the receipt and add to the documents you are sending to AVO in respect of your baby. Cheers.

Can I also pay the RPRF using the online link for Express Entry? Am kind of skeptical about the online payment. It would have been the easiest option for me.

Gurus in the house, please what's the implication of paying online using the Express Entry instead of the norm of using bank draft or money order?

Please could you send me the link to the IELTS material, i tried to PM you from my profile, abyurla at gmail dot com

thank you

Hello all,
I just started following this thread again yesterday. Even though I have done my WES and IELTS since last year, I decided to wait for the EE instead of FSWP. I just created my EE profile yesterday and I started swimming in the pool few minutes afterwards. I have been encouraged by all the contributors to this thread and I also want to render the little help I can. I have a very good IELTS material (which I used myself). Its The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS Student's Book with Answers. All the audios for the listening tests and 17 sample videos from live speaking tests are included. You can PM me if you need the materials and I will send you the download link (1GB approximately). Its now your duty to find a way of downloading it. Cheers and goodluck to all.



Hello moderator,
I think it is better to create a dedicated thread for Express Entry. I can see that someone tried to achieve this in this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/2064942/canada-permanent-residency-express-entry but you redirected the individual to this thread, which is originally for FSWP. Since both FSWP and EE are entirely different, I think it is better all the information relating to each are placed in their respective threads.

@azeezbaba,

Any update(s) as to whether the payment can be made online via the cic website?

Not sure why it should be tough if you say you work where you work. As for number of chairs in canteen question if truly people where asked sounds ridiculous to me. Hoping some come out with their experiences good or bad. It helps the whole group. Thanks.

You don't have control over what time WES requests for verification from your school and what time the requests gets to your school. I however think WES will update your account with them to show they have requested verification from your school and the date the request was sent. The need to have someone fast-track the process at the school end is for the person to be helping you monitor when the WES request gets to school, how fast it is passed on to the right office where it will be processed, and collecting it from whoever dispatches letters so he can give it to you and you can then send it to WES, it will look like its coming from school.

Don't know exactly, but if it will be classified as two qualifications of which one is 3years like i said some folk's own were evaluated to be, then it should give more marks than just a bachelor. In addition, IELTS is a big determinant of what your total EE score comes to so, you might want to see how you can give it your best shot and score highest possible. Seen a situation where a situation where getting an overall score of like 8.5 or 9 in IELTS gave an added score of 61 compared to when the IELTS was an aggregate of 7.0 so, you may try and work on IELTS as well

Hello,

I am also still on the verification thing with LAUTECH.
@rasaqdayo and ejirostephen, Please inbox me ur email so we can communicate elaborately on this issue together.

ejirostephen:

Hi rasaqdayo, I am a victim of lautech o dough MBA. Wes sent my document for verification since 17th of March, I was able to affirm it has been received by the registrar department but what has been delaying it from gettn to the pg schl where my contact would package and send back to Wes is the major problem now. Wes sent photocopies to lautech, my contact confirmed to me dat is how dey deal. They dont deal via E-mail. If that is the modus operandi for pg schl den ofcos xpect nothin less for Bsc.

Thanks.

Choose your noc and ensure the duties stated on your ref letter matches with the one on your chosen noc. The amount of money you need will depend on how many family members you are going with. If you are married will you be going with the kids n hubby?

Thank you

Am yet to get any update too. I am still expecting the gurus or anyone who has used the online method to pay for either RPRF or to add additional dependent. Please let me know when you have any updates too. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the gurus to come around

Haa wait o, I thought it's just your school sending WES tour transcript and then WES evaluates and sensends you electronic and hard copy? Which one is WES communicating with your school and your school replying them back after sending the transcript to them?
Pls you guys should explain further cos I'm getting confused. I thought it's just a one time communication between the applicant's school and WES

If you apply to WES, the following occurs:

1. You have to go to your school to send your transcript to WES.

2. When WES receives the transcript, they send a message to your school for verification. WES could send the message by e-mail or by post ( usually the former).

3. After you school verifies it, they can send it back to WES by e-mail ( This is usually like a cover letter).

4. When WES receives it, they begin to work on your case and subsequent issuance of your Educational Credential Assessment.

5. It is posted to your address.

All the best.

Yes, WES contacts your school after the receipt of your documents for your school to reconfirm that your documents are genuine.

Hello solomonwis and co,

I'm an FSWP2014 applicant and I've been asked to make ''Payment for Permanent Residence Fee for my spouse'' after I contacted AVO that I recently got married.
My question: Apart from raising a bank draft, how else can this payment be made? Can I make the payment via the 'Pay your fees' option on the cic website? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp although for spouse or dependent addition, only Express Entry was stated there. OR is it possible at this stage to send a Fee Payment Form with my credit card details (IMM5620E)? What do you advise?

Can someone please answer this. No one has being able to provide an answer.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot for the information.

I need your further advice. Which document do you advise this applicant to evaluate with WES? He has OND, HND, ICAN, 1st and 2nd degrees. He had the 1st degree after 2nd degree, he used is HND and ICAN qualifications for 1st degree where he spent just two years after his master degree programme. Thanks.

Hello everyone
For those in a fix as to whether to use WES or ICAS.
WES is by far a better option. However, check if your school can be assessed by them
I used ICAS cos my university is not assessed by WES and I must add it was terrible experience. My timeline is 6months and its no fault of my private university E&Rs

Please can someone be of great help to me, I am rewriting my IELTS to upgrade my score. Someone kindly send material to toluinc@hotmail.com. I will appreciate greatly.
2. Any insight/material to IELTS writing will be particularly appreciated, a 7.5, 8 is so rare
