MRSDA:


I wonder what it is with the writing. I scored, 9, 8, 8.5 and then 7 in writing. I graduated top of my class in English literature and I know I write very well. I didn't even know it was possible to contest but thankfully it was OK to apply so I didn't bother my head about it.
This is another evidence they are just doing their own thing. You don't graduate tops in English Lit and then get a 7. Good thing you met the requirement.

For the dude that passed the ielts that is complaining bitterly, please be thankful to God.

I have written ielts 7 times. My journey started since 2015. My Wes has been ready since then, but because of age and ielts, I have been falling short. I wrote ielts and got moderate score. I didn't know what was required then, since then, it has been a battle for me. My last 3 scores were 8,7.5,7,6... 7.5,7.5,7.5,7... 7.5,8,7,7..after the 6th one in June, I swore I was done with this dream. I had sunk so much money into this. I have gone to dubai to write celpip, went to dubai again for new brunswick info session, spent money 2ice on SINP and all to no avail. I was frustrated and devastated. July, I told my spouse to let me try ielts one more time. Even thou she didn't want to see me hurt again, she let me have my way. As for her she was done. She wanted the dream closed and buried. I don't blame her. So I paid and decided to change venue, this time I went to Ibadan, meaning I was spending more again. Then something changed. I prayed a lot about it. For catholics amongst us, please pray the prayers for exams to St Joseph of Cupertino. I went into the hall, did my best and left. I couldn't even beat my chest about my performance. I have been humbled by Ielts. But I kept on praying. I am not going to fail the 7th time. In between that time, a stranger in Lere2017 on this platform came into my life. She needed something from me. I actually wasn't in the mood to talk to her (reply her pm) but I did. We got talking and I told her my story. She was touched and she also truly prayed for me seriously. She will send me messages almost everyday telling me how much I was in her prayers and letting me know all is well. Yesterday midnight was the most awkward time of my life.. From 12 am till 7 am this morning, I was refreshing ielts website to check my result. The fear and panic was too intense. When I didn't see anything, I decided to go to their office to pick up my result.. That drive was filled with swallowing stone like saliva. On the bridge, I decided to refresh it again.. My result was there. My soul left my body and my eyes became blurry. I didn't know what I was reading but I knew I was reading.. L-9, R-8,S-8,W-7

I felt water swell up in my eyes. I understood what it is to look for something within your grasp and yet not have it. I am still basking in this euphoria so I can't real explain my ordeals. So please if you have it on a platter of gold, don't come here to rub it in on people that are going through a lot of even have a slice of what you have. For me the journey starts soon. I now have 450 points. I pray we all get to the promise land. Thank you @lere2017 I appreciate you. That's the beauty of this thread. Goodluck to everyone. I apologise for the long post and misspellings

You definitely should ask for a remark. Something is wrong with IELTS in Nigeria.

MY results:

Reading - 9.0
Listening - 9.0
Writing - 7.5
Speaking - 7.5

I would have contested this result, cos it's just completely way off. Were it not sufficient for CIC, I most definitely would have contested it. I know how well I write. I should have a 9 in that writing. I wrote TOEFL and got 30/30 in writing the two times I wrote it. For speaking, my score should be higher than 7.5. I had a small encounter with the examiner that day, so maybe that affected it. Still, I don't understand why an examiner should mix sentiments with assessment.

I'm completely gutted, I swear. Something is wrong with IELTS in Nigeria. It's either they get the sense everyone is doing this for immigration purposes and so try to frustrate their efforts, or they have examiners who are inadequate in their competence.

Nonsense! angry

Speechless. Some peeps would give "an arm and a leg" for this kind of result....

what materials did u use...
I used www.mini-ielts.com for my reading and listening practice. For writing, I used ieltsliz. And for speaking, I did my own little exercises at home and used YouTube a lot.
Of course, I also used some of my own tricks

In some hours, I'll share a more detailed post on tips for attacking the different test components.

I think it's best your husband sends the balance to your account, cos when you add him to your application, CIC will request for an updated POF for 2... You can add an LOE stating he transferred the money to you to complete the POF.

Thank you very much boldinic. So my husband can send the money to my account and I only print my statement and write LOE about the transfer from him to me without having to attach my husband's statement because I don't want them to see the source being a lump sum from another party.

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by boldinc(m): 12:11pm On Aug 11, 2017
Good morning... While I am not a supporter of using agents, I am very certain you had an agreement with this said agent and agreed to their price and payment terms. Just because you stumbled on this thread and realized 'now' it's something you can do yourself, does not mean they are automatically scammers. They offered you a service and you agreed to take them on. They even ensured you got ITA! Some just take your money and do not work... I see work being done here.

If you had a contract with them, I will advice you finish up your side of the agreement, especially when they are keeping up to theirs (ITA for you)... But really it's your call at the end of the day. Just tryna give advice based on my own opinion.

All the best!

fashoga:
Elders in the house
Good morning All.
i need your advice
Am new here. me and my wife engaged the help of an agent to enter into the EE pool before seeing this wonderful platform.
I will not advice anyone to use an agent...they are SCAMMERS!!!
Now we finally got our ITA but the agent is asking for another fee for continuation.
I want to end the contract and continue on my own. Any advice on how to go about it?
Thank you All and God Bless

@ cochtrane, quite understandable when you're marked down but your result still gives you the highest attainable score you can get. Just let it slide. Maybe BC would have given you an award had you smashed all components. wink
