Thank you all, I am truly touched.

Long post alert!

When I started this journey, I was less knowledgeable, in fact I had zero knowledge till I stumbled on this thread. Plan then was to make my wife PA. Our profile is almost same except me with MSc and hers was still in the making. The decision to make her PA was because she has only one employer while I’ve had not less than 4, so I thought should IRCC need work confirmation, it will be much faster getting the confirmation from one employer than multiple that will be applicable in my case. More so, her employer has some form of international recognition while I have mostly played with semi-local champions, so her reference letter should also carry much credence I assumed.

Meanwhile, because of lack of knowledge, myself and my wife agreed to use an agent – who is a client of her employer. She spoke with the fellow and feedback was “first thing we need is IELTS, once that is gotten, we will proceed”. I was somewhat angered that he gave a very vague response without even telling at the least what will be done following IELTS, man didn’t even recommend the score to aim. I will later thank God he didn’t give any other detail cause that was the last she spoke to him about this journey. Luckily for us, his stand propelled me to search which of course led me to this thread.

Previous thread was around page 440+, read about the first 180 pages while keeping up with current discussion, also read about 100 pages backward and left the remaining but always kept followed the discussions.

It was during my reading I deduced the IELTS wasn’t necessarily the first as ECA takes a bit of time, then reviews about WES was somewhat terrible with folks complaining WES hardly respond to queries. Other than the communication lapse, I didn’t see any other negative comment plus few participants had shared ways of getting WES to respond (the twitter/facebook attack). Unfortunately, I don’t have any of such account but figured if need be, I was going to open the needed account and get my message across. So, WES we went with.

To get transcript from the school to WES, I posted my first questions on the thread but still PMed Yimiton for more tips and ways around Unilag. Unknown to me, she would be very instrumental in the subsequent days and months to follow. After a few exchange of emails on transcript request and WES Vs IQAS, we switched to BBM. During our early chats, she asked for my profile. Next, she sent me two CRS scores. One my wife being the PA and the other me as PA. Because my wife has only BSc at the time, her CRS was far lesser than mine. My new found friend advised I take the mantle of course shredding my thoughts of having delayed confirmation cause I’d be using three references. Later in our chats, I’d realize my wife didn’t even need to write IELTS, scores was then at the lowest ever. Another relief for me cause my wife preparing for IELTS was a dream we both dreaded. Her work is tasking, she gets home knackered and we have a wonderful infant who would still demand the most of her.

While ECA was ongoing, we got our new passports and I registered for IELTS. All looked well as estimation was to have IELTS and ECA about the same thing. Truly, both came days apart but IELTS was a wreck. Eventually registered for another IELTS while EOR was initiated. Second result was a relief, started gathering needed documents as soon as the result came, there was a draw the week of the result so I had roughly two weeks to gather all documents as I wanted to submit the earliest possible.

AOR was few days from ITA. Week of submitting, a discussion came on that would send me shaking – it was VO’s erroneously ignoring some POF documents. I had used two similar TBills certificates and balance from provided statement, all without a cover letter. The TBills were sufficient to cover my needed funds but if the statement was only considered like it was discussed then, that will be a blow.

Again, I ran to Yimiton who we had grew much closer, some successes had been achieved on our paths. Conclusion was of course to redo the POF with a cover letter and raise CSE the fastest possible time. I’d later discuss with GlitteringStar who also assured me to relax as all needed to be done had been done. Some days later, I was a bit free then went through my CIC account only to discover that my CRS score was one point higher than it should be. I digged further than found where the one point came from, spouse education was 9 instead of 8. GlitteringStar shinned again assuring me to stay calm and positive, “patapata” VO will only remove the extra one point and proceed should I not fall below my draw’s ITA.

Let me add a little more detail, maybe some questions would be answered in the process.

Work Experience/Reference Letter
Pre ITA, I filled three places of work – all previous employment. The 3rd being just a 6 months duration and without it, I’d still be over 3 years.
Since ITA was sure, I started gathering supporting document from the day of the result. The 1st two reference letters were gotten with very little effort but the 3rd was a bone in the throat. After the request for the letter, I called, mailed, texted, sent whatsapp messages but the CEO somewhat ignored all communications. I had earlier discussed my need of the letter with line head, but he was out of town so option of having him write the letter was dashed. I gave myself till a day to ITA to get the letter or I’d delete the work experience from work history. I ended up not getting the letter before ITA and I didn’t get chance to delete. I had no other option than to delete post ITA since letter was not forthcoming.

For the other two, I provided complimentary cards even though the letters were on letterhead. The 1st, a real estate firm signed by a managing partner, I included his card. The other, a much bigger firm. Reference letter was a one page on letter head with all details except for Job Description. I requested the letter made reference to the JD as an attachment which was obliged, JD was 2 pages printed on plain paper (like an internal memo) with company’s logo and name at the top – the two page JD was black and white, only the one page letter was signed by Head, HR and DMD. Both signatures were digital. I couldn’t get any of their cards so I got Recruitment Manager’s Card in place and attached to the letter.

POF
POF was initially 9 pages – 2 Tbills certificates, 6 pages of 6 months SOA, last page was screenshot of Oanda and Xe showing my total sum in CAD equivalent. POF was all from a joint account. The 1st Tbills was about 2 months to ITA, the second was a day after ITA. Both of same amount, same tenor (6 months) but different rates. Then SOA was printed two days Post ITA – a day after the 2nd Tbills. The Tbills were sufficient to cover our required funds but the statement had a closing balance of about N1.8m, Within a week from printing (or AOR), balance in the account fell below N1m. Even till now, it’s still below 1m. There’s been inflows but the outflows are heavier. Application fee + RPRF were taken from the funds. I had conviction to deep hand into POF has the TBills were sufficient so even if asked for updated POF, I’d submit the two Tbills and the SOA (maybe with a little topup). Later raised CSE with exact same document except that I added a cover page letter to the POF detailing there were two similar but different TBills certificates and SOA.

Medicals and PCC
Both were done same day, a day after ITA

Educational Documents
BSc Certificate
MSc Certificate
IELTS TRF
ECA for both degrees
One and Same person affidavit (draft and cheapest way to get from Yimiton)

I added the affidavit cause my names varied through all documents, somewhat of these;
BSc certificate – Olusegun Buhari
MSc – Olusegun Jonathan Buhari
Passport – Jonathan Segun Buhari
ECA, IELTS, Medicals, PCC (all tied to passport) – Jonathan Segun Buhari
Reference Letter 1 - Olusegun Jonathan Buhari
Reference Letter 1 - Olusegun Buhari

No LOE added.

For my wife.

She has completed her MSc but couldn’t evaluate since ECA was ready before she completed. Post ITA, I added her MSC but stated no ECA for it. I didn’t include work history for her, answered No to question of her having work history but included all details in personal history.

As a wrap, this thread is lit with information, I packaged my application from reading only this thread.

Behind this page, I and a host of others chat, you all are appreciated. Please permit me to mention but a few… Elfmann, Cochtrane, 40manlappy, GlitteringStar, Yimiton, Philip3, Wura27, Algbenguze, Incredibledude, Hephgirl, Canadianfly... Thank you all.

Congratulations Kontagious.

See you at the other side.

Good afternoon my honorable advisers.

I am really privileged to be on this platform.
I wish to seek your advise.

I have the over 7 years full time work experience as an administrative officer that's what my employment letter states.
In the course of my job, I carry out environmental health jobs because we don't have an environmental health officer my office.

My highest degree is a master of public health, i have a licience to practice as an environmental health officer, I also have a diploma in management.

Is it OK to apply as an administrator and present my masters degree for evaluation?

I would be most happy to get a response from you. Thanks

Mamacajah, why did you say family sponsorship is the cheapest? Does the adoption route cost more?

The cost I used here is relative. I am talking more of time spent than physical cash itself for option 3.

From what I understand about adoption, it takes time and lots of protocol to cut through. At the same time, you would need to wait to apply for PR until the adoption pulls through.It can be anything from a 1yr upwards. I am not sure anyone would want to wait that long before applying.
But the family sponsorship gives you the time you need to apply, settle and then apply for your sibling. this is my personal opinion though. I stand to be corrected.

Everyone can do their findings accordingly and come update us as this is an area I know lots of people are looking at.

Of course school route means you have to pay international school fees until the sibling qualifies to apply for PR.

hope this helps.

I did some looking into this your case. Some persons on the canadavisa forum have applied successfully with ECA carrying /ab reference. If you are in doubt, I suggest you just send an email to them or call their care line.

Lol, why are you covering face, mine was 47 pages. I have a minimum of 10 transactions per day. and i included Money Market Fund & Statements, Pension ref letter & RSa Statement and another POF. Just try to shrink it as much as you can or reduce the scan resolution.

Congratulations Kontagious.
