Take a bus going to oshodi or ikeja inside and alight at ikeja along. Cross to the other side of the road using the pedestrian bridge and board a bus going to ojota. From ojota, take a bike to the office address

A great thanks Opeoyek. I really do appreciate your response.

please enter the pool asap, you dont need POF to be in the pool, you have all it takes already, as regards IELTS i think it has to be valid as at the time you submit your application post-ITA. am not sure of it but people with more valid info should advice accordingly. tie-break rule is not a friendly something please endevour to submit your profile.

Hi all,

I have all my WES documents now. And I have IELTS band score 8 which expires in December this year. The only issue is I don't have the funds to show ready yet. Can I submit to enter the pool without the money in the bank just yet? I plan to get the money immediately I am invited to apply (ITA) by the Canadian authorities.

Also would I be required to still have a valid IELTS result after I have been invited?. Example: my IELTS expires 6th December 2019, and I am invited to apply November 15th 2019, would I still need another IELTS test result?

Is it just me, I noticed I can't access my Express entry account when I log in as the site keep returning me to the homepage. Has anyone else experienced this and what is the solution as I'm tired of login in and seeing the same thing happening.

Thanks. Do I get invited for sure if my score is higher than the cut-off? I'm currently at 449 and i see the lowest score as of 16th october was 357. What do you think are my chances? If I get ITA, won't a sudden increase in my bank statement raise eyebrows?

As for IELTS I still need help with this so please anyone help.
Also how can I get a police certificate in Nigeria? I'm currently in the UK. And how do I go about getting an alternative document for work experience as my previous work place (Nysc) people have refused to give me a letter due to God knows what's wrong with them.

Sorry for too many questions

Fantastic! Thank you.

Please do have an idea if Microsoft certifications will earn me more points and if yes, how do I go about evaluating them?

I’m not sure - but I guess if you input it when making your WES application they’d be able to guide you further?

Or you can search the thread to find out if anyone has had a similar situation.
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 9 by Eraytee: 7:00pm On Oct 19, 2019
the previous draw was for FST not FSW (which is the category you belong). you need to up your score as the pool is not smiling presently with people with very high scores. As regards a sudden increase in your account, you need to provide an explaination to the lump sum, if you get it as a gift from family, you would provide a gift deed... details is on page 1.

for PCC I think that is not a problem, all you need is to get a contact person that can do the running around for you..... page 1 also has the details of PCC.

i'll advice you to rewrite that ielts because of your CRS score and the expiration on the result.

if you have email correspondence from where you did your NYSC, print it out to back your claim of not getting the reference letter. then you can get a colleague you worked with at that time to sign the reference letter and also notarize it.

others can weigh in their opinion too.

Thank you for the advice.

Finance is not the issue but I need more time to prepare for the exams so I can get good results except you have an idea of how I can fast track it and still achieve my goal of getting good results?

3 months is a long time - you can maybe practice for 6 weeks?

Have you tried videos on YouTube? I used Lizielts and JayE2 - go through the thread from Part 1, you’d find lots of resources to study with.

Based on personal experience I’d say; pick a date, book the exam and make sure you watch videos at least one hour daily. That’s what I did and it worked for me.

Everyone is different though, so figure out what will work for you.

Thank you.

I have started my WES application after creating account but I'm having issues adding recipients that WES will send my evaluation reports to. I don't recognize the institutions on the pre-approved list or is this not necessary? My house address and IRCC has been added by default and I'm a bit confused what to enter on the recipients fields.

Secondly is it advisable to use residential address as correspondence address for WES and other applications considering the way mails that are sent to Lagos addresses get lost. If no what other alternatives should I consider?

Thank you for your support.

For mine, I used only IRCC and my Nigerian house address.

The physical address doesn’t matter so much, because you get sent a soft copy which you can use for your application.

If you have alternative reliable address outside of Nigeria then I guess you can use that since it’ll be faster than coming all the way to Nigeria.

So, fast rewind to May 2019, when FST was drawn. CRS hit 470. The next set of draws done saw a shed of about 11points down to 459 over 4 draws. Notice an increase in ITA value from the then regular 3350 to 3600 then up to 3900. That was to cushion the spike in crs trend here; We can see our projected 471 dropping to 459 by December 4, if not 460 later in November 2019.

The events fuelling the influx of people will slow down soon. I hear Canadian graduates getting ITA, We see PNP rolling out a lot, Lot of people completing wes/iqas/ices/ielts and hitting the pool. Bulk of those in the pool in that 451-600 bound are below 460 but entered the pool anyways to secure their tie-breaker spot.

The dynamics of the pool doesn't really tell the true picture of what we are contending with but a whole lot is a fluke. We've seen the crs deflate irrespective of any initial spike, so we should be very optimistic.

Me I'm driving the score down with my mind and positive energy. 460 no be joke. I dont see the score sgetting sustained at a 470 or 466 sef. It will always come and kiss 459 again. At least we did 430 early this year. It's just a cycle.
I like that. Which of the LOA gurus is your mentor,?
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 9 by ifevictor: 9:00pm On Oct 19, 2019
Yes,
You don't necessarily need to have any ties with Alberta, it is based on the NOC. Just tick the province when creating your express entry profile and if your NOC is in demand then you will picked

Please I need some clarifications.

After completing my PR application online, is it immediately I will be required to upload all the supporting documents?

Today is the last day for me to complete my application. I have intentionally not clicked on submit because I am still waiting for one more document.

If I click on submit and fail to upload all the documents required today (60th day), is the application void?

Thank you.

Why did you have to wait till this late?? Clicking on submit without uploading all supporting docs might do you great harm. Don't leave things to chance. If you can't get the supporting documents soonest, you could decline ITA.

If you can meet up with the documents required, you have to quickly decline your ITA tonight or else your profile becomes inactive. If you decline your ITA, you go back into the pool and will be selected next draw provided your CRS score is not lower than the draw score but if you leave your ITA and not act within 60 days, you will lose your present EE profile.

Thank you so much. The delay was due to circumstances beyond my control.

I'll decline the ITA. I can only hope for another ITA in the nearest future.

I suggest you start practicing. Personally, I felt a month was okay. However, I found out that the more I practiced and the more I researched, my weak points gradually vanished. So pls weigh your strengths and weakness to help in the best duration for your preparation. 75k is a lot of money to gamble upon.

I can’t say for sure oh. Me I evaluated just first degree and masters. I had initially put my professional qualification, but took it out.

But to the best of my knowledge, the only certificate that might give you a higher point is a PhD. So it might not be worth going through the stress.

I would say that if your BSc is from a Nigerian Uni, maybe don’t bother - but aim to do it in the future because you might need it for work?
