According to what is written on CIC's website, to get points for "two or more certificates", one of the certificates should be a three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree...
You finished work here babe, then over finished with the other post with evidence. Great stuff.

@GlitteringStar thanks for this. That means a Unilag diploma and a Unilag B.Sc will count as two or more certificates. Am actually waiting for @Cutegu201 who is verifying these two certs with WES. Let’s wait for his evaluation result.

WES will not positively evaluate Unilag diploma. I believe some have pointed that out on this thread earlier.

Hello guys, congrats to all who passed their IELTS exam excellently and recent PPRs.

How long does it take IELTS to acknowledge receipt of payment? Do they at all? I paid yesterday and I haven't gotten any confirmation yet.

Please advise me on this soon as I'm concerned and want to be sure that my registration is locked in for 28th October since deadline for registration is today .

Cheers.

Hello everyone,

Please i have two questions.

1. I GOT MY U.K POLICE CERTIFICATE IN FEBRUARY AHEAD OF I.T.A WHICH I EVENTUALLY GOT IN THE LAST DRAW. BUT WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY ITA. I VISITED THE U.K FOR 5 DAYS LAST MONTH . DO I NEED TO GET A NEW POLICE CERT, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT IT WAS JUST A SHORT VISIT.

2. HOW DO I REDUCE FILE SIZE OF PDF DOCUMENTS. MY PASSPORT TRAVEL PAGES MAKE UP 8MB AND WE R ONLY ALLOWED TO UPLOAD 4MB. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY APP OR METHOD THAT CAN ASSIST WITH REDUCING THE SIZE.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. THANKING YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.

1. Your PCC should be within 6 months. That alone nullifies tendering what you have currently. According to CIC, "If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and:

are currently living there, or received the police certificate before leaving, the police certificate must be issued within six months before you apply.
have lived there in the past, the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory."

2. www.ilovepdf.com compresses nicely

Yes! WES evaluated @Tolurigs, @Bimpsy99 and Gustalnov's National Diploma's certificates as "2 years Diploma". @Beyunce evaluated her BSc and National Diploma's certificates also and she got points for two or more certificates (She got her COPR last year)

Just to correct. Beyunc went with PNP and not FSW. Though she did get WES evaluation as "Two or more certs...bla bla bla"

Dear People,

Please is there a validity period for employment reference letters? Can I start gathering them pending when I submit my EE application? Or do they frown at employment letters obtained over a period of time? Thanks
Nope. In fact, CIC advises that you start collecting your docs as soon as you submit a profile. Except of course, the letter does not grant you the maximum points you'll get for a 3-year experience.

Finally checked my result

Listening 8.5
Reading 8.5
Writing 7.0
Speaking 7.5

Finally entered the pool. My score is 427. I really hope the draws start to come down.
I won't be any surprised if this earned you an ITA by the next draw.

Hey guys, I wish i had read through this thread before I wrote IELTS but all hope is not lost. Got 7.5 in all parts and it's my first attempt. I am not enthusiastic about re-writing d exam so I am thinking of d job offer option. Has anyone tried this and can advise appropriately? I.e getting a job in Canada from Nigeria since dis gives about 50 points.

1.You need a fresh UK PCC since you've visited the UK since the last time you got one. Don't risk it, not worth it especially since its "cheap and straightforward".
2.Use small pdf

Hi, sorry for not responding in your previous posts.

My B.Sc had been successfully verified and accepted by WES.

However, my Diploma documents were left unattended to along side other diploma documents awaiting verification at the records office.

Anyway, I discovered this yesterday when I went to the Records office to make a complain and made sure the documents were transferred to the Diploma office for processing.

I would keep you posted when the verification is sent.

hey guys. My AOR is june 10 and I have been on IP1 since july 7. I got my gcms note on september 28 and i noticed my criminality check hadn't been done. Am in the London VO whatsapp chat group and everyone there is telling me that is really weird and that my criminality should have been done in CIO. Every other person in my chat group who posted snippets of the gcms note showed that their criminality was done at CIO yet mine is not the case. Most people in my AOR are either in NA or IP2 status and yet am still in IP1. It really baffles me. My due date was October 6 and till today i haven't seen any updates.

Just wanted to find out if anyone is in a similar place as me or if anyone has had their they criminality done in their VO rather than CIO or better yet just help make sense of my situation. Thanks

please can someone kindly help me with my question above?

Did you pay via bank transfer or by bank draft? You will receive a "Test Confirmation Email" after registering and payment of the exam fee.

According to what is written on their website, it may take up to 72 hours to receive confirmation of any payment made by bank transfer.

Today's ielts at Abj Centre was a shocker, after all the preparation, still missed out part of the listening ( multiple question) the third time, so bitter. My 8 in listening can be a miracle. I missed like 6 questions. Should I wait for the result or can I register another date in Nov before I ll become lazy again. Pls advice.

1. Evaluate both the BSc and National Diploma certificates to get points for "two or more certificates".

2. If your CRS score is low, your wife will need to evaluate her certificate and take the IELTS test to boost your CRS score.


Thanks a lot

Yes. All things being equal, you stand a better chance of getting PR than TRV as you don't need to prove that you plan to return to Nigeria.
Ensure that you meet the requirements and can provide documents to prove this before proceeding.
Also ensure that whatever supporting info and documentation you plan to submit will not conflict with what you've already provided in your trv application.

You can use your NYSC experience if it falls under skill level A, B or O. Check your skill level here. As the Principal Applicant, you will need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for education received outside of Canada (except your master's degree is from a Canadian University). Evaluate your highest degree only which is your master's degree.
