Hi Guys,

I have been a follower of this thread for few weeks and I have found it very helpful and informative. Big ups to all who are contributing to this platform. My IELTS result just came out LRSW 8.5/7/7/7.5 and I intend to enter the EE pool as soon as possible but a major stumbling block is my ECA. My School (LAUTECH) has been on strike for almost a year now and it doesn't look like the school is going to resume anytime soon. Is there anyone who is in similar situation? I only have my statement of result and from what I have read here, I don't think that will suffice. Is there anyway around this? Your input will be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

This Wunmi Issue is an eye Opener, I hope she is able to resolve it quickly, I have been considering removing my spouse from the application to get more points and then file for her few years later

Hello people,

Under my spouse's personal history page, the following is a breakdown of her timeline:

from to
2000/11 2007/7
2007/7 2007/11
2007/11 2008/11
2008/11 2009/11

2012/12 2014/1
2014/1 2014/12
2014/12 2016/6
2016/6 till date

But each time I try to submit, it still gives me the error message:

Error Description: Personal activities:
You must provide at least 10 continuous years of history, or all time since this person's 18th birthday, to the present.


I do not see any gap in the timeline. I really am not sure what could be the problem. I am the PA. Someone please help. Thanks.

Will the school have to respond via courier or email?

E-mail.

Hian so i might have to follow up with them to reply email. Hmm

I experienced similar issue yesterday, even though I didnt have any entry later than 10years back/18years old as stated.

Remove/edit organization from your entry. You should be fine. This error message popped up after the update on the website, "being a member of an organization no longer count as part of personal/address history".

In essence, tell them something else you were doing during that period tagged "organization".

That was what I did and the form validated succesfully.

Modification: there are some entries that could amount to misrepresentation if you just decide to put them to start at 2007 because of the 10years ish e.g. saying you started schooling in 2007 when you actually started in 2005. Your form will still validate if you enter education start date as 2005 even though it is more than 10years ago.

I see records from year 2000 there. That's longer than the 10 years required. Begin your entry from June 2007

oddysey:


Thanks a lot. It says at least 10 years, so I think more than 10 years is still fine.

Dammiehar:
You need to be really patient. They will get in touch when they are ready, and their processing time is getting slower and slower. I received acknowledgement 20 days after they received the documents I sent, and 14 days after they received the documents my school sent.
They have also increased their processing time to 30 days after all documents are received, so you need to relax and focus on other things, they will send it.

I sent my documents since the 3rd of May to IQAS, and it arrived since the 16th of May but up till now, I have still not gotten any acknowledgement from IQAS. I faxed the same set of documents to them on the 5th of June but up till now no response.
Please is there a way I can contact them because apart from the documents I sent personally, my schools have also confirmed to me since the 5th of May that my transcripts (B.Eng & Msc) have been sent to IQAS.

Dammiehar:
Yes, 30 days now. I got the second acknowledgement yesterday, so I am not expecting ECA anytime soon.

vcole:
@joala, fill this work experience as is. 1yr under NOC as a medical doctor and the other years under whatever his current job function is. Ref letters should be obtained accordingly.
However his degree has to be evaluated by mcc irrespective of his current job function.

MummyJaygirls:


Maybe people should try out ICAS now as IQAS don dey dull

codebrew85:
Boss, based on your recommendation, which would you advice if I'm evaluating my OOU degree? WES or IQAS?

Ballerz:
Dear Friends,
I am new here
Please does anyone have a link for people who just landed / immigrated to Canada forum
I am looking for folks to collaborate with, network with and share ideas.

Kontagious:

1.) from my research thus far, t-bills is acceptable. I actually intend using t-bills.
2.) yes, longer tenors guarantee higher return. But the tenors are 91days, 182days, 365days... So apart from 91days (3 months) being the least, next you can opt for is 182days (6 months). Remember you cannot terminate like FD, so if you go for the 6 months, your money is locked and unaccessible for the entire 6 months.
Presently, 91days is at about 13.5%, 182day at 17.2%, 365days at 18.8%. These rates are at per annum so remember to prorate just like FD.
3.)the interest is paid into your account on day one. It's automated, you get the interest credited just after you are debited for the t-bills.
For FD, you get principal and interest creditted on day 91 (assuming you did 3 months tenor), but for t-bills, you get interest on day 1 and principal on day 91. You have full access to your interest as it is paid.

The whole essence of t-bills is citizens borrowing FG money, in effect, it's actually FG mopping up money in circulation as you do not have access to that money (your invested amount) for the period of your investment, but the interest is good (and you have access to this from day one)
