Please for those that registered for IELTS via BC, please how did you make payment.

I was aware that the details were given but how will IELTS BC verify payment on your account

Please I wouldn't mind someone explaining the process so it would be clearer and to avoid any mistakes whatsoever? Thanks and God bless you

Its all explained on the payment page when you make a booking. You are to send your ref number and some details to an email before they can confirm your payment. Check your email for the booking email sent to you when you booked an exam. It's all explained there

20th of this month made it complete 12 weeks. besides 5 weeks timeline was before, but this new year they increased it to 12 weeks. people that had not gotten their report prior to the update where affected as well

chicyclass:
Same Timeline with my spouse... This is crazy

I swear. The thing is so tiring. 15 weeks from Jan is like May/june

Thanks

Wumi93:



I asked because I wasn't able to get a reference letter at all from the bank

Oh okay. Just make do with what they give you, then you can add an LOE to explain the situation.

Don't give up: @Mamsvee

You are good to go: @MoneYibo

Congrats on ECA: @Chicagomum

May this week be a great week for all of us.

Nothing is impossible, just very difficult.
Work experience might be a problem when considering PNP. EE accepts self-employment, I don't know if provinces accept that.

What about the federal skilled trades program? I haven't heard much about it here. Is a degree required?

Check page 1.

mactoni91:
Please what the average cost of everything excluding airfare?
The way Nigeria is going now, i intend leaving.

No.

But your NOC must be on the list. However, you still need degree(s) to get good points.

Can someone without a degree apply for EE? Is it possible? Asking for a friend please. Thank you

Read through this and see if it's worth pursuing. There is no degree requirement but a degree does fetch more points. However, the one significant and slightly difficult requirement there would be the possession of a certificate of qualification to practice a trade in Canada

Thank you, I just read a bit about it. A bit more complicated than the FSW

I saw what you did there ma'am...

I don't know anything about that one but you're right, it's worth exploring that option

I also paid the $200 for evaluation with debit card, i'm talking of payment to change delivery method here. If u did this with debit card, then i'll rush down and do mine too. Tnx

..

I watched the video as well and bought the 17k blueprint before I found this thread. I can boldly say the page 1 of this thread is so much richer. I am not spoiling anyone's market O, but those in this thread don't even know the value of what we have at our fingertips. The 17k still dey pain me whenever I remember but nothing spoil. Since then, I've been cautious to research wella before making any payment. Every penny counts now.

Topsmamen:


Not bad.

Hmmm. Mr. Victor named the video presentation - "How to successfully relocate to Canada as a Permanent Resident Without Wasting a Kobo on Agents". I was enjoying this until I saw the optional 17,000 naira required to purchase the blueprint (a 65-page document detailing the A-Z of the PR process).

Quite funny. Seeing as our most popular page 1 here is a rich, informative 1-page document that is free for all.

Hello all, it's nice to be here. Please I need some clarification on PNP. For example, if I want to apply via Manitoba PNP, and I have just one degree (Bsc), no Masters and score high in the exam (IETLS), does that participant stand a good chance. Also, if possible, can the steps to be taken be stated on this thread. That is step by step process for PNP application. Looking forward to reading from you guys. Thanks.

PLease, what alternative can I do for employee reference as my company has refused to issue me an employee reference letter?

Thanks Sultanlek!

Sultanlek:

In my opinion, you should enter the pool with the result you have, if the cutoff drops and you get ITA continue with the application provided your ielts score didn’t change after remark. But if it changes you will decline the ITA and go back into the pool with a better crs. It’s a win win
My opinion tho

After looking at the presidential election results so far.

I am even double motivated to cut ties with this useless country

Congrats

Silent reader but not anymore, lol. Decided on this journey January 2019.

Wrote ielts 09 Feb (first attempt)

LRWS: 8.5, 8.5, 8, 8. Overall band= 8.5. I saw my result and could not believe. I still think maybe it is not mine and they switched results.

I am grateful to @Eshay for introducing me to the Cannyland journey, this platform and thread, guiding me and sharing her experiences while I prepared for the exams. You are my angel. May our dreams come true

I prepared for a month.

Listening: Practice and concentration is the key. I practiced at least 3 times a week. First results were poor but over time it got better. Know the scores you need to get an 8 (36/40 minimum) and never give up until you can score it in at least 6-7 practice tests consecutively. @happyme31 is so right, that listening tip helped me too especially part 2, 3, and 4. I remember it was a lady that scored so high in part 6 that gave that tip. Practice writing out keys parts of the conversation as you hear them, especially for those academic and touring conversations (part 3 and 4). This will be so useful for answers that are synonyms of what was spoken. For instance, in part 3 of my exam, the supervisor told the student that her presentation was too sudden and the answer was Abrupt. She told the student that she was also too slow, too fast in her speaking and the answer was Irregular. Writing out that conversation helped me identify the synonyms as I rechecked. In those sections, where you have A, B, C options, You would waste a lot of time and lose concentration if you are looking for the answers while the conversation is on. Write out key words and points. Part 1 and sometimes part 2 are straightforward, no need to write all, just listen carefully. If you miss an answer, MOVE ON FAST, don't panic or think about it.

Reading: Skimming and scanning are the keys. The answers are sequential through the passage but they can be tricky. In passage 3 of my exam, the last two answers were in the second paragraph because it mentioned two sentences about outdoor jobs, while the rest of the paragraphs were about indoor jobs. When you cannot find the answer, move on immediately and finish the rest, then return to those unknown questions and read the passages carefully sentence by sentence in that paragraph you think it is, you will find it, depending on how much time you have. While practicing, I noticed my weakness was the difference between False and Not Given, so I spent more time on those parts.

Speaking: Telling a story in part 2 and talkativeness in all the parts are the keys. As @happyme31 pointed out, Jay's videos are the best. I also watched past interviews of band 9 candidates and asked myself why they were deserving of band 9. They never stopped talking and used the right vocabulary for the topic. Talk so much and allow the examiner to get tired and stop you (Be a talkative on that day, even if you are not naturally one). It does not matter if you have no idea. If you are unlucky like me to be asked about tough topics like Global Trade, importation and exportation between countries and sustainability in businesses in part 3, still say anything. I paused and told the examiner that this was a tough question because economics is not my strength but I will answer it anyhow based on my layman's knowledge. I used the example of computer village, Nigeria's population and our hustling spirit as the country's best export. I knew I did not make sense but I was determined to keep talking. I just kept thinking of President Trump who says rubbish with so much confidence and still gets supporters, lol.

Writing: Structure and complex sentences are the keys. Just like @happyme31 said, Jay's video was my only guide. Please use the first 2 minutes to understand the question and what is required. Then use the next three minutes to draw an outline in your question paper of points you want to write. May a sketchy outline so you do not get stuck in the middle of your writing especially for Task 2. Practice using different kinds of sentences (passive, complex, compound questions, etc. Avoid writing in simple sentences). Also, use transitional words like your life depends on them (However, even though, although, yet, still, nevertheless, etc). Use uncommon words as long as they make sense (critics, cousine, turbulence, flabbergasted, etc, write like those village headmasters of those days who use big grammars that make sense). Also keep writing, do not stop, collect extra sheet (you can only do this if you have drawn an outline of your ideas).

For task 2, fill at most three pages or three and a half. Structure is everything in task two, there is a template for writing from Jay's video (introduction, four to five paragraphs for body and elaborate on your ideas, then conclusion). Elaborate on each point in each paragraph (use examples, quote researches and studies (whether they are true or not, the examiner does not care about whether that research really exists), use your personal experiences as a student, worker, mother, father, Nigerian, hustler, business man anything). As you write, imagine you are a debater in the room trying to convince, expantiate, elaborate or prove to your listener about points. Finally, don't be like me, please proofread, allocate the last five minutes to proof read and edit all your tasks. I think I was only fortunate that I write error-free sentences on first draft, but maybe if I had edited, I would have scored higher (maybe, or maybe I scored lower but God touched the examiner's heart). Editing helps and might improve your score by .5 which might make a big difference.

Most importantly, avoid over-confidence. This exam is about technique and strategy, not English knowledge. I am at the level of a native speaker and very advanced user in my profession but I practiced like it was German or Chinese I was preparing for. And after writing the exams, pray, pray, pray to any God you believe in.

Apologies for the long post but I just wanted to help like previous posters in part 6 have helped me too.

ECA is in the final evaluation stage with Wes. Once it comes, I will dive into the pool. I am currently gathering post-ITA docs because my CRS score is really high (thanks to IELTS scores) as our seniors here have advised potential CRS high scorers.


Fingers crossed for us all in every stage of our journeys. May our dreams come true. It will end in praise.

please i am yet to find an answer to this?

sibabe25:
