Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 6 by Sexyuhlala(f): 10:50pm On Nov 23, 2018
I started my IELTS journey in August 2017, I actually thought it was just English and that I could just read and pass. I was wrong. Didn’t know there were tips and tricks to the exam until I met a friend who sent me time table and more materials to use. At a point, I had so many materials I became confused on what to use. Well, these are my results below.

1st Attempt BC- LRSW – 6, 5,7,6.5
2nd Attempt BC- LRSW – 7.5,5.5,7,6.5
3rd Attempt BC- LRSW – 7.5,8,7,7 – went into the pool with this. CRS 381
4th Attempt BC- LRSW - 8.5, 6.5,7,6. When I saw this result, I wept like a baby. I was angry in my spirit and at the same time angry with God. I asked for a remark and it came out thus – LRSW 8.5, 6.5, 8,6.5. I hissed and moved on.
5th Attempt BC- LRSW – 7,6.5,7,6.5
6th Attempt MOD– LRSW 8.5,7,7.5,6.5. Oct 27th

When I saw this result, I was weak. I didn’t cry, but I wasn’t happy. I was weak, exhausted and all. I just said to myself, I am not writing this exam again, I am tired and I have tried. Whatever happens happens abeg. I showed people and almost everyone told me to remark, a friend who has been following up on me steady told me instead of remarking I should use the money to pay for another ielts that his wife’s friend remarked and it didn’t come out positive. I said no oh, I will remark. I am tired of writing. He said okay, lets satisfy your conscience then. That’s how I carried my last 46k and I mean last. I didn’t even know how I and my baby will survive till month end. I just told God, I am taking a leap of faith, please don’t let me down. From the day I submitted the EOR and copied Australia, anxiety wanna finish me. I took solace in praying and reading people’s testimonies on Nairaland. I also told my very good friend in the office to pray for me. She could see I wasn’t happy and she said don’t worry, your result will change. She took it up with her prayer warriors o. There were some nights I’d be tossing and turning on my bed all because of remark, there were also times that the devil filled my heart with doubts but I kept on saying to myself, I will dance like David danced Chai. Then 12 days later I decided to send a mail to remind Australia if they had received my scripts from Nigeria (even though I was so afraid not to upset them…lol), they replied me this morning by 5.54am, I was shaking like a jelly fish. They said I should contact my test centre that the result had been sent. Hmmm, I said I won’t o, will wait for their mail, that’s how I got the mail from Naija that they had received my EOR from Australia. Omo cold enter my body, I started shaking again. I summoned courage to check online and boom…… my writing got upgraded to 7 and took my crs from 381 to 442. Why this epistle? It’s to encourage people going through this hurdle that it will pass, it wasn’t easy for me, I exhausted my annual leave for this exam, I didn’t rest at all. I thought of giving up so many times but I kept pushing and saying to myself, common girl, you can do this, keep pushing. There were times I wrote and didn’t even tell anyone oh make I no look like olodo. So to you out there, yes you. Please don’t give up. You’d get there in no time. Cheers.

The agent really no get joy.

Another perspective: I'm not sure it is about the date exactly. The guy apparently submitted only his FD statement that he raised 11 days to his AOR. He/She fixed it for 1yr thinking it would cover all doubts.

The guy might get an ADR for 1yr salary account SOA to cross-check that he is not indebted.

FD can still be liquidated long before the maturity. The one year is not enough reason to just cancel the entire POF and say the person has CAD $0
Choi!!

Anyway, lesson learned; if you're buying Tbills or using FD, choose six months or less. The option of investing for one year should be avoided

I don't agree with this though. Six months or less could in another case also be suspicious.

Well think of it, if your FD has not matured by the time your Medicals expire, you are essentially going to travel empty handed.
In this case, the lock-in date is 22nd July, I'm guessing that's his AOR since it's a Sunday and no ITAs were issued on a Sunday this year.
Obviously, he must have done medicals before this date.
Now his money will be returned on 11th July 2019. Very likely that he would already be in Canada because his Medicals might have expired.
So in theory, he will spend at least a couple of weeks flat out broke in Canada while waiting for the maturity of his FD.

That's my own understanding sha. If anyone wishes to fix for one year, just make sure that the maturity is way before the expiration of medicals.

@Godisinc.ontrol
The agent clearly stated there that the review is "... regarding the maturity date of fixed deposit".
In any case, thank God he knows what's cooking so he can send updated POF ASAP.

Still on POF.
Some COs or VOs work like robots shaa.
If I were the applicant, I would quickly liquidate that FD and raise CSE to update on my POF.

Delay may land him/her in AVO, where he'll have all the time for the FD to mature.

I will also testify as I have requested for an EOR for tests written on 27 October.

I will surely testify as it will end in praise.

Expresso17:
IELTS Testimony!
IELTS test date was 13th October BC
Results ready by 26th Oct -LRSW: 8.5 7 7.5 6
I was so sad especially because I fell ill about a month before the test so my practice reduced and the last week was meant to focus on writing. I was out of work for about a week and just resumed that week still not in the best of health and was required to rest, butI listened to tips from Liz and Jay, but could not practice, I read some books on writing as well.
So I decided to go for a remark and asked God for mercy and speed, willing to stick to my faith on this....
EOR form was filled and submitted on the 30th October
Received an email on the 7th that my EOR has been sent to the EOR Team on the 6th Nov and should expect feedback in 2-4 weeks from that date
Received an email 16th Nov that result is ready,
Writing was upgraded from 6 to 7!
Praise the Lord for me please, my joy knows no bounds!
Note that there was no change online,someone asked a few days back if it meant there was no upgrade, please pick up your new TRF to know your score, no assumptions, I nearly got scared when I read a certain response saying most likely not.
I am really grateful to God

please any ideas how long withheld results are released with BC? Hubby’s results for today were withheld for review as I wanted to pick my EOR and his TRF, don’t know why it’s withheld..

I think AVO has less to do with POF issues, more to do with work experience concerns and maybe marriage stuffs, any issues that can require the applicant to come for an face-to-face interview to verify some details.

Any other concerns raised in your notes?

Still on POF.


I think the issue here is not about 3months, 6months or 1 year investment. I think the Officer was looking at when the investment ends.

Remember that you are meant to have travelled to Canada on or before 1 year after your Medicals. So firstly, when did the individual do his or her medicals?

Lets assume it was June, the officer is simply refusing her POF because by the time her next medicals, she wont have the funds available to immigrate. That might be too harsh by the CO but he is just doing his job.

So my 2 cents his this: Before u submit your application, check the date and ensure that any investments in FD or TBills wont mature the same period next year after your medicals.

I hope I tried to help.

10th Nov IELTS writers with BC can check their result now. Its online. I'm really sad. Don't know what else I can do to improve my writing. My first IELTS in July 28 was lrws-9,8,7,8. I needed to Max my scores. I took time to prepare for writing and i wrote another ielts on 10th Nov, now result came out ; lrws-8.5,8.5,7,7.5. Writing is still holding me. I felt I did better in this writing than the previous one. I don't know how else to improve my writing.
