Kontagious:
Michelllo, thanks for your input. Lasu has responded to the verification! I checked profile this morning and noticed a status change - now "Documents received, review in progress".

For future Lasu applicants, In my opinion using my request as reference, you actually don't need to visit the school to follow up your transcript request and verification response. Transcript got to WES three weeks from request day while verification response got acknowledged within two weeks. I never got to the school nor called anyone.

I'm quiet impressed with Lasu.

Shalom.

Thanks for the info. I plan to assess my wife's BSc from LASU but need a little clarification.
1. How did you get your WES transcript request form to LASU without visiting?
2. Can she use her notification of result?
3. How much in total did it cost you? I know LASU uses an online portal and charges N4k for transcript. Did you pay any additional fees for courier?
Cheers!

Hello house,

@deeore, please did you have to make a new payment entirely for the new application or is there anyway that the previous payment receipt could be used for the new application and if not, do you know how to request for a refund if payment was not done using credit card? Please anyone can respond if you know how it's done. Thanks.

Hi everyone, please I'm new to this thread and I can see it's two years old and there has been modifications to CIC requirements please where do you advise I start reading from. I'm interested in the EXpress Entry route. Thanks I will be patiently waiting for a feedbac. God bless

Hello Algbenguze,
1.) From my understanding, that form is mandatory for only UI (I stand to be corrected) though I submitted same for my Unilag request. To the question at hand, since there was no placeholder to upload the form, all i did was to fill the address part of the form the same way WES would send you. It's something as;
WES Reference No.: 0123456789
World Education Services
Attention: Documentation Center
2 Carlton Street, Suite 1400
Toronto, Ontario M5B 1J3
Canada.
Once the reference number is quoted, I believe your package should be fine.
2.) Not sure but seem notification of result is accepted in lieu of certificate.
3.) Total I spent was N14,000 (exclusive of N100 bank charge), seems it now cost N20,557. The N14,000 is made of N4,000 for transcript and N10,000 courier charge. So, no extra fee.
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

Please which evaluating body is suitable for a lawer?? WES OR IQAS?

From my experience.... WES isn't good at all!!! They have the worst customer relation I have seen in ages. I have sent them countless emails and not a single response from them. Unless someone else speaks ill of IQAS, DO NOT CHOOSE WES...
(The above is an advice based on my experience)

Good day house,
Please I need some help on this Issue.
I have written the IELTS Exam and I was able to have a suitable score,also I have done the WES certificate evaluation. I entered for the Provincial Nominee Program, but I have not been selected.
Please I will like to know if I can also apply for the express entry too. will this affect my application. Thanks

Please help me with the process and documents needed by MCC for doctors

Yes very possible. That exactly what me and my friend did. We wrote our names on each envelope and put in one big envelope and sent to MCC.[/quote]

I am a silent reader of this thread and I have benefited immensely from the contributions here which is why I am motivated to give back especially because my case is peculiar so I hope it will encourage or help someone. please before I begin, I would like to encourage people to read the thread from beginning before coming to ask questions that have been flogged and over flogged on the thread. It makes the thread unnecessarily long which in turn discourages people who would have actually put in effort to start from the beginning and there are little important inputs within that would help someone which could be missed if one does not read through.

My degree is in law but my NOC is in management ." Iphie's "posts led me to use IQAS for my evaluation instead of the popular WES because an LLB is awarded more marks as professional degree which going through WES doesn't give. This boosted my CRS. I evaluated only my degree certificate. You do not need to evaluate law school Certificate.I don't have an LLM. my CRS score was 407 so I had to apply through Ontario. I received NOI in April, applied may 20th and got nominated June 26th with 600points which boosted my score to 1007. I don't have reference letter (which is a very important document in the express entry process) because the company I worked for was shut down. so in place of reference letter, I provided a letter (in form of a reference letter) written(typed actually) by me and notarized by a notary public stating everything that is required to be written in a reference letter. regarding the format of the letter, I started the letter in the form of an affidavit (I, Dolly Parton, hereby declare that...) and not like a proper formal letter with addresses. Also, I attached all my contract/employment letters which had my salary,job roles and position stated, income tax certificate,6 pay stubs and my first and last bank statements showing salary deposits . Before applying for OINP(ontario Immigration nominee program) please ensure that you request your duplicate ECA to be sent to OINP from whatever evaluation company you used. This will reduce any delay in processing your application. The process of requesting for duplicate ECA from IQAS got irritating cos they requested I send hard copies of my request form which cost me more because I used EMS express whom also did not deliver my documents on time(supposed to be 5 days but took up to 2-3weeks). I was fortunate to get a reply from a better informed IQAS representative before EMS was able to deliver my duplicate request form to IQAS, that advised that I could send the requested application copies by fax which was received immediately .why I said "better informed " is because prior to sending my documents through EMS, another representative had responded to my enquiry that IQAS doesn't receive faxed documents .About the fax, I used a free fax service I found online gotfreefax.com. I was able to fax the documents for free to IQAS .There are other online fax services you can use to send fax. All you have to do is scan your documents and send it through their fax link and it gets delivered to the fax machine. There are usually instructions on the websites/apps about how to get it done. (I love how much the internet has made life easier) . Lateness in requesting your duplicate to be sent to OINP can delay your application. Recently, some applications have been processed within a week. I got ITA after the nomination last week .I think I have said all that needs to be said. More information on OINP human capital stream can be found on http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oinp-ee-human-capital-priorities-stream-comprehensive-guide.396543/page-315

After receiving nomination, OINP Will deliver the nomination certificate to you through express mail. mine arrived after 7 days of nomination . When filling my ITA online, I noticed there was no place for uploading the nomination certificate but had read somewhere that CIC usually requests for it. so what I did (which I read somewhere that others also do) was to upload the nomination certificate together with the LOE .my LOE also explained the reason why I don't have a reference letter and that my POF (treasury bill) is from my husband because the treasury bill statements are in his name. He also wrote a letter stating that he's giving me access to the funds which we uploaded to the POF section.

OINP is definitely expensive and cumbersome to apply for because they request for more documents than CIC did ,but it can be done. Yes, I did it on my own without an agent .I understand that this application process can seem too much for some to manage themselves but I believe with patience and research, it can be done. Hope my post helps someone. Once again ,I appreciate the people who contribute to this thread. God bless you abundantly.

Good evening house! please I receive 50k as salary, does it affect my POF? And will there be any problem as to how the closing balance will be 4million naira?

I did WES evaluation last year from USA for an admission. my question is: since am now applying for Canada express entry, can i still continue to use the WES USA reference number or will need to do another evaluation from WES Canada?

MissShakara:


Good luck on Saturday, the Lord will see you through. I wish you'd applied for remark on your first ielts though.

Amen! Thanks so much. I also thought of remarking cos I obviously needed between 1-3 more marks to get 8 points in listening since 7.5 is between 32-34 but was dis discouraged by d nature of d test(just like objective, very difficult to get extra mark). Anyways, God knows best. Success(as wished/targeted) is all I pray for now.

None at all...

Thanks for your response. Yes, the accounting experience is within the last 10 years. But do I put my self employment in personal history if I'm not claiming points for it if I get ITS?

Should the self employment experience even be in my EE profile? But it would probably look like I haven't been working.

What do you think please?

PS, I just got NOI from Ontario

Congrats on your NOI from Ontario.

Yes, you can put the self-employment in work history if you don't have any documentation to support that. Note that 3 years work experience gives you the maximum points that can be earned in that section.

Thanks for the lovely post, pls regarding the OINP is it compulsory to list all the paid job in the last ten year in my application? They are jobs that i didn't gain point and i did them while studying.
