Thank you for your response. I think I can begin the process next year then. I think a Masters gives you a higher point right?

Truth is I also want to gain more experience, by 2020 I'd be 5yrs in work experience. This also has an advantage.

My friend who recently got his PR, he had 6+ years experience (without Masters)

So if I'm to at least have a good number of experience, I might as well just bag a degree with it.

2020 is too far. You might not need a masters. But you do need to start from page 0.

May5ive:
Page 0 does not state when to begin the process. People have different instances, and page 0 can not answer everything.

Really? You don't know when to start and other people must know your situation more than you. Page 0 tells you that 3years of relevant work experience in the last 10 years gives the maximum points and you can learn french and do the test within a year instead of masters wahala. Page 0 has it all.

See if you go to page 0, you know to calculate your CRS using the preferred IELTS maximum points. If age and other factors favour you even with only three years of experience, and without a masters you discover you exceeded the cutoff, wouldn't you prefer to start immediately?
Also a PGD (which is one year) might also get you past the cut off so you don't spend a whole two years waiting.

May5ive:
Can anybody reply please?

Is it a good plan to start the process after or during my MSc?

You should Google CRS calculator to get an idea of your current CRS score which will help in answering this question as there is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL answer.

The Work experience normally climaxes at 3yrs for foreign experience.

@IamtrulyBlessed, has this been confirmed? What qualification will that give and with which body will you access or all accessing bodies give the Sam qualification for it? Please kindly respond. God bless you.

IamtrulyBlessed:
If your writing ACCA to gain additional qualification for EE, there's no point attempting F4.

Thanks a lot.

I'd check out my CRS & know my next move.

Just to let you all know that y'all are doing an AMAZING job! It's not easy, but I know the journey would be worth it.

And to Everyone who's already half way into thw process, remember everyone has their time, never give up hope!

Like @newbie18 wrote, calculate your CRS score first. That is why a lot of people are directing you to page 0.

When you compare your CRS score to the current ITA cut-off points trend, you can baseline your decision whether to proceed now or do another thing to increase your score like 1yr PGD, French, better IELTS scores etc as the case may be.
You don't need to do a 2yr Masters that may take 4yrs to finish in Nigeria.

There are elections next year and if the Liberals lose, you may find that a new government may have changed immigration policy in 2020.

Hello Everyone,

Thank God I've found this thread. It's been my dream of relocating, but I'm planning 2020. I wanna use the next 2 yrs to get an Msc from Unilag, after that I start the process. What do you guys think?

I'm self funding myself, so of course during my MSc I'd be gathering money.

I want to present myself as VERY skilled, hence the MSc first. I have 3+ years working experience.

I just calculated my CRS score.

438points! (Heard the cut off is 442)

Lol, I mean that's if my IELTS is quite high.
When I added french score, it skyrocket to 495!

So, I'm gonna do french too!

So my next move would be to start preparation for IELTS & the French test!

May5ive:

You made some much sense!

You guys are the best!

The ECA for your B.Sc may take time. Start now. WES ECA remains valid for 5yrs

Getting a high score in IELTS is not as easy as it seems unless you are an English major. Start preparing now.
IELTS score remains valid for 2yrs.

Then apply for EE. You can always update your EE profile when you have better points.

Thank you. A whole 6 weeks....I hope it's included in the processing time?

Yes cos someone on this thread opened a fixed deposit account a week before submitting her application

Shyee:
can I open a bank account solely for pof, and use it though less than six months?

Hi, please do you know if anyone has had WES evaluate f1-f3 as an additional certificate recently?

The last cut-off point was 442..it is never static. TEF and IELTS aren't joke.

The last section I blanked out on about two answers only to recover from the question with electricity. Reading part 1 took a lot of my time. Na God hand everything dey o..... last last I dey fear.

Abefeolu:

ACCA awards ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business after completion of F1, F2, F3 & FIP. However, I can't confirm the outcome of its evaluation with WES or any other body because someone got 1 year college diploma or so while another got 1 semester. F4 - F9 + PEM will give Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business.
