Hello @deore @nonviolence @yooku @mrsbee
Ok i believe we are still on track. Apart from Ottawa peeps that be "flying like witches on a broom" (just kidding) applications take about 3wks to change from NA2 to IP2. so we are looking at a date around the 15th.
(my theory ooo... Could also be me justifying d snail speed[b][/b] )

I'm NA2 July 25th as well...club Sydney CIO

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

Oh my God. Congrats to you.

I have learnt several lessons from this write-up.

Do not give up your dreams...NEVER!!!

@ the emboldened......See me see tears

Thanks!

Lere2017:


definitely gonna drop,dont waste money on the ielts again,there is no probability you would hit ur right combination of results

And here it is, your prophecy came to pass

[quote author=coolhayor post=59393856]@bigfido i cant but comment on ur tenacity. It simply examplifies what this Canadian PR journey is all about. Ur post is an inspiration to all irrespective of our stages in Canadian PR process (either u are still thinking about applying or u have landed). My take from ur inspiring post is that this journey requires certain virtues/things & i will list some of them;

1-PATIENCE: At a stage in this application, u just have to be patient. For some it is at d IELTS stage, for some it is after AOR, for some it is even after PPR. While some people get PPR in 18days after AOR, unfortunately for some it is after 18 months. We just have to be patient.

2-TENACITY:U must be tenacious & never take no for an answer. Some will be rejected at IELTS stage, while for some it is Post-AOR, for some it will be by employers in Canada. U must not accept defeat for whatever reason. I had a guy in my AOR group whose application was rejected after passing medicals, he never gave up, he submitted a new application almost immediately after getting a new ITA, it was funny that he got PPR before 90% of us who didnt get our application rejected. What we are facing in the PR process is small compared to what most of us will face when we get to Canada.

3-DOING GOOD- Imagine u didnt reply Lere, who knows, dis testimony may have been delayed. U dont know on whose behalf d Lord will answer ur prayer. A lot of people have been helpful on this group, lets not be tired of doing good because at d right time we will reap d benefits not necessarily from d person u helped but d good u do always has a way of coming back to u. Some poeple's dream wont have come thru if not for this thread. If u have landed in Canada & u feel u cant help,remember this opportunity for Canadian PR was opened by people who didnt know if u even exist at all.Let us be our brother/sister's keeper.

4-DESTINY-Since we all have different names so are our paths. Some will write IELTS & pass it once but will not be able to raise d POF for 1 year, some will have tens of millions & good qualifications but IELTS will b dia hurdle, for some they will even have very fast timelines but dia application will go into security check & take months. Lets not always compare ourselves with others, u never know what they have gone thru or may be going thru.

I hope this lifts some1's spirit [b][/b]

THANKS FOR YOUR POST.
I AM ALREADY HAVING CHALLENGES WITH POF. JUST HOPING ON GOD.

Lere2017:

Hi everyone,
Please Is it possible for ielts listening score to be upgraded ? Has it been upgraded for anyone on this platform? I had a 7.5

Hi people. I believe i filled work history (with her NOC too) for my spouse pre-TA (i'm the PA) because when updating the form(post ITA), a place appeared for her work history (She has no Canadian experience BTW).
1) If i answer YES to DO you have any work history, the placeholder on the final page expects me to upload reference letters for her work. That means she has to get a reference letter just like i did !!!
2 )Please note that if i answer NO to (1) above, the placeholder for her work history in the submission page disappears.

So should i tick YES to her having work experience and ask her to get a reference letter OR tick NO to her having work reference since i do not get extra points by her non Canadian work experience.

Seniors, Everyone please HELP!!!

Mine was upgraded from 7.5 to 8.5...miracles exist!

Hmm.... This post leaves me thinking about the philosophy of life. Indeed God is mysterious in his doings , no wonder the holy book (Bible) says "His ways are far beyond anything we could imagine".

Lessons learn
Never give up on myself and dream( there's is a light at the end of the tunnel)
Never to work with others timeline( My case is unique in its own way)
Extend a helping hand (we need each other to make the world a better place.
The level of maturity I see here is undescribable. I think we have built good relationships and i foresee........ will leave the rest to the prophets and prophetesses in the house.
Hands up to my friends, my brothers and sister from another mother, jester's and comedians that makes the forum worth visiting.

My one cent.
Keep your heads above water each time you feel the process is choking/draining/ stressing you out. Fam will always be willing to lend a helping hand.


God bless U all for real.

Always passing by,so I thought I should just call in and say hi.

Just like going round sha.

Good day house,

pls I got ADR which I've responded to and status says "additional docs have been uploaded" but I checked later and saw "Your action is required"....I even got a mail to this effect but there's no 'request letter' on my profile, neither is there any new placeholder under 'submitted application'. Has anyone experienced this before? Should I just take it as a system glitch or I need to do something abt it? Thanks

Glory be to God, I got my ielts result yesterday and it out as LRSW 8.5,7.5,7,7. It was my first attempt and I prepared for about 5 months. I could have written the exams earlier but I knew I had brush up some areas where I was weak. I learnt every single thing about the exams on this forum.

I knew I could not afford to fail because that means I would need to pay 68k + 4k (for courier) again, travel to and from my base to Ibadan twice and Lodge in hotel twice so I started reading the posts of those who passed to learn what they did and more importantly, those who failed and learn from their pitfalls (no offence intended).

I felt like registering in May but deep inside me I knew I was not yet ready as my listening was still weak. I intensified efforts by downloading over 50 YouTube listening tests, downloaded Cambridge books 1-12. Diagrams in listening was another headache for me so I downloaded about 25 mainly diagram tests from YouTube. For reading, I started with Cambridge books but someone mentioned ielts buddy and I decided to give it a trial and it was a life-saver for me because it was there I first learnt the trick that I don't need to understand all parts but to pick answers from the passages (please ensure that you understand this concept well before adopting it, I can't explain everything here). For speaking, I downloaded about 20 band 8 speaking videos from YouTube and I also used ieltsallears anchored by 2 funny ladies ( just use google)

However, I neglected writing. Though I practiced writing some letters and essays, I did not take time to practice enough and learn the format for each type of letter and essay.

Let me state at this point that I am not that good at English I am just average at the language but I knew that if my immigration dream will ever come true I had to cross the ielts bridge and I put my mind at it. I learnt every single thing I know about the test from this place.

On the test day, I was one of the 1st sets of candidates to get to exams venue at 6:00am and with sanitation exercise in place I didn't want to take any chances. My writing was a mess because I had to cross several parts in the essay part and some grammatical errors eg sensor instead of censor. Please endeavor to use pencil in your writing as it makes your job neater.

In conclusion, I prayed and committed the test in Gods hand. in my mind I thought I would fail the writing test but God did it for me.

God that did it for me will give everyone preparing for the test enviable result.

A whole 2 months before me, I will buzz u for info on how the place is. Copr is on the way. How far tickets, where did u buy?

Hello guys, this is urgent!

Can Someone get the IELTS certificate from the British Council on my behalf?

How do I go about this?

XX01:


The last draw was 433 so she is still in line.

Actually, the draw was 441. A week before the recent draw of 433. Thanks @Kontagious for your kind help. I will be back in the pool to wait for the next reduced ITA hopefully.

a) Yes, someone can pick on your behalf.

b) You are to write a letter of authority to British council to release ur result to the person( the letter should have ur candidate details, date of the exam and passport details).

Items required are a copy of your passport data page, his/her passport data page (or any ID available) and the authorization letter

July 29 ielts LRSW: 7.5,9,8.5,7.5. I feel like running mad right now, one more correct answer in listening could have upped my score to 8 and my crs from 381 to a whooping 413. I had 9 in listening in my first ielts so maybe I was over confident.... I might apply for a remark sha tho I know chances are slim but I have time.

Sorry about that. If you have some cash to spare, you can apply for a remark while you also take time to prepare thoroughly for another test. Wish you success in the remark/next attempt. Cheers

Seniors, Everyone please HELP!!!

Tick "No" and put her work experience in the "Personal History" section. Her work experience neither adds nor subtract from you since it is not Canadian work experience.

However, you may wish to note that fact in your LOE i.e. that you filled work history in your EE profile but you have filled "No" post-ITA because it is not Canadian work experience. All the best bro!
