I just thought to say anyone who wants to start the express entry process should start with ECA first and should not do ielts until their ECA is ready or almmost ready. I see a lot of peple registering for ielts first and i shake my head. I did my ECA in 2015 and ielts in 2016, by the time i got eligible to get ITA, My ielts expired just before the next ITA and i had to redo it but my ECA didnt expire.

Let ECA be the first thing you do before ielts.

Lol my friend's application took 6 months from AOR, Baba was checking every hour of the day except when he doesnt have Internet access. You will be fine

Shyee:

You could send ALL your required documents at the same time. Your WES account would be updated as your documents are received, and verification takes place AFTER ALL your documents are received. It's irrespective if you send WAEC or credential(s) to be evaluated first.

Chi194604:
I was trying to apply for my ECA today but i was surprised to see the new policy of assessing WAEC result first. I really appreciate this post. So after sending the WAEC result will you get a response from WES before proceeding with the ECA for degree certificate?

Talkingboy:
Good morning all .

I have been battling with WES for some time now (Since 2017) , and I need some help .

I have Bsc and ATS/AAT from Ican and I got my ECA Report in July 2018. All necessary correspondences were sent to Wes by Ican and they (Wes) confirmed receipt and verification of Docs/certificate. To my surprise , the ican credential was no where to be found on the ECA Report .

I made this known to them and they requested my certificate again. I did send it to dem and they've been saying nonsense since. The below response was what they sent to me yesterday .

Dear Mr. Talkingboy,







Sincerely,

Director of Evaluations

The certificate ICAN gave me was what I have been sending to them since and they keep rejecting it . Do they want me to goan manufacture cert in OLUWOLE ni ? because I don't know what to do again .

Is there any Post 2013 AAT holder that has successfully crossed this hurdle ?

NB: I picked ICAN as d issuing body and not ABWA when I was filling d form.

Help Biko . Thank you .

Hello,

Please, I want to send all my credetials @ once to WES via Hello fax as I hav read here countless times people that used same & also, so I can cut costs. Any idea how much it'll cost in total? i.e. how much in total i'll spend wit WES? I saw ICES would cost 171,000. I'll be sending my GCE, OND & B.Sc Cert (I did D.E hence Y I am sending an ND result).
I have my GCE Cert alrdy and ND Transcripts & Cert bt only Transcripts 4 B.Sc. can I go ahead?, should I also just go ahead & attest my GCE result in the High Court or I still need to go to WAEC office? Your feedback would be very appreciated! Thank You.

Any further contributions/guidelines would be very appreciated.... Thanks.

Hi Talkingboy,

My AAT certificate was issued by ICAN as it was before the introduction of the ABWA certificate. Let’s wait on feedback from Justin I believe he had an ABWA certificate. I had no issues with the evaluation of the ICAN AAT.

Cheers

Expectantbee:


If it’s any consolation I’m 85 days post AOR. I’ve now reduced my daily log in to once or twice a week. I attended a planning for Canada session and I’m spending time looking into the MAP they prepared for me...it helps, but in all honesty it’s not enough. I try to read on NL posts and canadvisa daily, helps but still not enough... If I’m being honest, I can’t even say how I’ve managed to stay sane esp cos I’m not currently employed. If you’re currently working, I think it makes things a lot better...just try not to worry too much. For me, reading PPR announcements actually helps me stay very hopeful and positive. I hope you find something that works for you during this waiting time. Cheers!

stonecoldcafe:

Go ahead with your evaluation. Simultaneously, start exploring ways to increase your score. Dont be downcast cos your CRS is low. Even those with lower scores are in the pool and also working towards increasing their score.

As a general rule, the sooner you commence ECA, the better especially if degree is from Nigeria. Good luck

Reasonabledoubt:


At what point while waiting did you register for the planning for Canada session?

I see Zutlin did his/hers after medicals was passed.

So that I know if I should try registering.

Shyee:


I know how you feel, I've been in your kind of emotional state too. ICES don't offer refund, unless they initiate it by themselves as seen in their disclaimer, which happens if they can't evaluate a credential. I suggest the following options:
1. WES for example allows you to create an account, even pay till, when you're ready for your evaluation. If ICES allows the same, you may hold on till when you're ready for evaluation, may be next month may be next year. You may find out by emailing ICES, but make sure to title your message, ECA, quoting your reference number.
2. Go ahead with the evaluation, the earlier the better. Since ECA lasts for 5 years, whatever option you want to consider, even M.Sc is NOT up to 5 years, hence, ECA still covers.
3. You may look for someone who wants to do ECA with ICES, get their details, and go to your ICES tab to edit your details out for the new person. I would advise you contact ICES for this because it may have devastating effect. This should be considered if you think Canada is not worth it.

In my present state of mind - Serene, option 2 is the Best. Going with stonecoldcafe!
Good luck, Kings!

ChandlerBing:

I'm also exactly 4 days post AOR. I swear I didn't even realise it was only that many days. Feels like it's been weeks. I haven't been checking as much as I thought I'd be. What does your profile say now? Mine says background check is in progress.

berra:
Hello all. I am planning to use ICES for my ECA. i have a masters degree so I was hoping that I only have to evaluate that, which should cost 200CAD but reading from their website, there is information on how WAEC results should be sent, do I also need to evaluate my WAEC and at what cost please? Kinda confused because I thought only WES requires WAEC. Thank you.

Utonne:


Lmao. Same here. AOR is exactly 4days just like you.

I am a worry wart and made a conscious effort not to keep checking lest I loose my mind. Decided to pray, hand it over to God and go about my daily business occupying my mind with work and do a lot of research on the next step.

Still a bit clueless about registering for planning for Canada session on the site when it specifically asks for the documents that I don't have. But I see that people did theirs before receiving COPRs and stuff

Dear Mr. Talkingboy,



Thank you for contacting us with your concerns.



We reviewed your evaluation report and confirmed that it is correct.



World Education Services (WES) does not evaluate study from The Association of Accountancy Bodies in West Africa (AATWA). If you wish to have your Accounting Technician Certificate (ATC) included in your already completed evaluation report, please submit a copy of your certificate as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). Upon receipt of the ICAN certificate, WES will review and update the report as warranted.



We would like to emphasize that WES evaluations are advisory opinions and not binding upon any institution or organization.





Sincerely,

Director of Evaluations
