Inflation rate dropped to 17.24% in April

awesomeJ:
Good evening house,
please can anyone confirm if the MPC will be meeting next week, and also when the NBS is likely to release April's inflation figures. I pray the former happens before the latter, because I don't want any funny change from the status quo yet as far as rates are concerned. Let the rates remain high for several quarters to come.
As a concerned citizen, and as one who thinks constantly about the economic well being of this nation, I often get worried when I see that our debt service cost is in excess of 60% of government revenue. But then I understand that even if it's only 10%, with the persistent leadership problems, 70% of the remaining 90% will be mismanaged, and so there may not be any significant headway. So I'd rather have the rates remain high since that's a sure way of giving more peeps little bites from the national cake. Whatever downside that has will eventually sort itself.
Splendid night to everyone.

Oga...i get ya...was just a little confused with the IELTS score and 428 CRS. Except other factors added some points for him, we never can tell.....Cheers

Yeah. Someone has advised him to redo the calculation. Cheers

I sent my transcript myself and I was creative with the senders name. In fact the DHL lady knew how it works and advised me not to put my name and use different writing for sender.

Gbam! Creativity at work

9jabiggurl:
Current trend? can you please expatiate because i would expect that to score above 400 you need 8,7,7,7 (LSWR) at the minimum. Please help my curiousity

Madam, my response was based on the CRS score that was provided. I didn't analyse the IELTS result, you get?

elfmann:
How about the verification phase? Will he pretend too? Omo.

Pretence is neither required or necessary here. I assume that the transcript was addressed to WES and sealed but given to him. If that is the case, he can send it on the school's "behalf" using the earlier suggestion.

If otherwise, he may need to go back to the school.

Please help a brother out!

I need to know if it is still acceptable to forward my credentials to WES via hellofax. Thanks.

Does WES have a fax number? If the answer is yes, then you can use hellofax.

1stNumeroUno:
Thanks boss,
Mine: SLRW - 6.5,7.5,6,6.5 Spouse: 6.5,5.5,5.5,6

Did the crs on the link you shared and I had 428. Is the cool enough?

Should be cool going by current trends and provided there are no surprises in the next draw which may be tomorrow. Hope you have created the profile already?

keleto:
Seems you did not get me clear sir.
WES said you will send the certificate but your school would be the one to send the TRANSCRIPT.
But I have collected both. So how can my school send the transcript

This is no rocket science. Simply walk into a courier company and use the name of a high-ranking staff (if available) in your institution's academic unit as the sender. Include his/her phone number in the waybill if you have it. Make sure your name does not appear in the document

In this journey, thinking out of the box is key...

@bellong and other seniors in the house

I have a family friend who is very keen to move out of the country and Australia is one of the favorites. He has 15 years of work experience while the wife has 10 years and they have both managed an agro-based enterprise together for the past 10 years. He has HND Accountancy while the wife has BA/B.Ed English.

The major concern is their ages: The man is 52 while the wife is 45 so having the required points is almost impossible. I have personally reviewed visa subclasses 132 and 188; the required net assets are very high!

I estimate the net assets of the couple to be about 185,000 AUD. What alternative routes do you think they can take? Any suggestions?

Good evening house, i have been reading this thread from the first page. It has been very helpful with the comments and contributions.
I want to write the IETLS General, i need materials that would help me in scoring good marks . My e-mail is yetlukoy@yahoo.com .
Thank you.

So many suggestions have been given on this thread. Use the search engine at the top.

elfmann:
One can't even claim points from spouse's work experience if not got from Canada.

Very true

Remxyj:
Thanks for the advice. But this information was given in the express entry profile before an ITA was given, are you advising we should remove it in the work experience section on the permanent residence form and leave it in the work history?
In the Crs point break down I did not see any point awarded based on the relative she said she has in Canada and we can't even edit it cos cousins are not listed as part of relatives and she chose aunty so the only option is to remove it.
Hope all dese changes will not show dishonesty and get the application rejected because I tot we are not allowed to change the informations given in express entry form after an ITA as been issued and all other documents are ready for submission. This image is for clarity. Please advice
cc Babachi, LordSebastian, Onlineise, optionese, 40manlappy

From the image, you only claimed points on spouse education and language proficiency, there were no points for her work experience or even relatives. It is only a problem when you change information that affects your CRS score negatively post-ITA.

If it makes you sleep well, do a brief LOE on your wife's cousin i.e. the error that you made on your EE profile and attach on the e-APR.

mctowel01:
PR eligibility states that applicant must be below 50years at the point of applying. So i think he is not eligible for subclasses 189/190

Thanks bro, I know that but I am considering the wife as PA. She is still under 50 but the age (45) will give her zero points. What are the possibilities?

Remxyj:
Help Help Help
I got an ITA last month and since then have had mixed feelings whether to accept it or decline cos noticed errror in my express application after I got an ita
Firstly, My wife stated in her work experience that she's self employed in poultry and this a business that she dose behind the house and sells to final consumer. The business is not even registered, now i have read that accompanying spouse will also prove that work experience even doh not Crs point has been awarded for this. She can't even meet up with cic self employment requirement.
Secondly she stated in her application that she has a relative in Canada who's her cousin but she chose aunt. Now all the documents she and her sister has to tender will only prove she's her cousin not aunt. Will this not amount to a misrepresentation? Or can we remove this from our application after an ITA has been received. I recalculated my point and i noticed nothing has changed cos they didn't even ask questions concerning relative in Canada or wife's work experience.
Please advice

1. Not a problem. Fill her work experience in the "personal history" section only since you are not claiming points on this.

2. Not sure about this but since you did not claim points on siblings (not even available until June 6) you may edit in e-APR or remove completely.

Hey guys,

For the sake of your sanity, please do not use Iqas for your ECA for now.
1. They are under pressure.
2. They only send out assessments on mondays.
Blood Pressure 151/90

i was able to track via DHL that My transcript and other supporting documents were acknowledged on the 14th of April, 2017. I however didn't get an acknowledgement of receipt till 3rd May, 2017.
i just called Iqas and the representative said i wasn't in the batch sent yesterday that prolly next monday.

Meanwhile a friend that used WES has the following timelines
1. documents receipt acknowledgement 2nd May 2017
2. Eca issued 12th May 2017

Both assessments are for Msc in the UK.

The dynamics are changing.

It is no longer news that IQAS is overwhelmed. A lot of applicants switched to them based on their record processing times thereby giving WES some breathing space.

From 7 days》10 days》15 days and possibly 20 days now. Indeed, previous performance is not an indicator of future performance.

However, it must be noted that both WES and IQAS process UK qualifications faster.

Cool. Next to AOR

@japhethGold You have to select the NOC that corresponds to your job. Have you gotten ECA?

Jumia get some cheap tampered glass, d only issue na their stupid shipping fee. By d way, na still from Aliexpress Jumia sellers dey buy from.

In that case, AliExpress is here to stay then. We have to make do with their shipping wahala.

fibonacci2526:
Na wa ooo, AES is freaking slow these days. Even some china small packet items fast past them now.

Am averaging 12 days through china small packet now.

Talk of snail movement. Maybe I will consider China Small Packet for subsequent orders. Funny that the tempered glass and flipcase that I ordered after the phone purchase may arrive before the phone itself.

jboixxx:
But no be only xiaomi Nigerians de buy on AliExpress na!

I am referring to their Xiaomi customers and of course, consumers generally from Nigeria. The delivery process/period is too long, IMO.

Thanks madam fibonacci2526 and jboixxx

If Jumia should step up their game on phones/accesories in respect of variety and pricing, AliExpress may lose a substantial customer base in Nigeria.

Hello house!

Chordata:
The poster didn't say he/she wants to evaluate the Canadian degree. He asked about evaluating the Nigerian BSc. Any thoughts?

You will get the points applicable to a Masters without ECA, so why would you want to evaluate the Nigerian BSc again?

bbaby84:
Why would you have to evaluate a Canadian degree again?

Good question!

Jumdah20:
Good morning, good people, my EE profile expires at 2.pm today. Should I wait until it expires or I should create a new one now. I don't want to miss a possible ITA tomorrow

To be on the safe side, you can create a new profile immediately but I suggest that you use another email address. What is your CRS score?

DPizzy:
Hello great people, quick question pls! For a person with Canadian masters and Nigerian B.sc, is it necessary to evaluate the B.sc considering the fact that what matters most is the highest qualification?

You have already answered your own question. Evaluate what "matters"

*Modified

I actually missed the "Canadian" Masters part. Please take time to review the basics.

I wrote my IELTS test on APR 29. Scores were L:9 W:7.5 R:8 S:8.
Trying to bombard WES with emails and hounding them on twitter too so I can get my ECA asap.
Thank you all for the tips; this is like the best thread for my current needs.

Excellent scores! Continue "bombarding" WES so that you can dive into the pool asap

The phone that I thought was already on the way to Naija was just despatched to "destination country" from a transit country today.

How long do I have to wait?
