“We know una type” Judgemental much....

You should have at least asked to know why i want to message before jumping to conclusion. I have been reading for the last 2 days to find glittering star’s post but i did not find the original and she has deactivated her account.

The reason i’m looking for them is because i submitted an PNP application and my application was denied due to date issues so i’m looking for someone with experience using NYSC to advice on how to go about it because i have been given the option to submit a reconsideration request.

Thanks for your response, have a great day.

even if they did you will still doubt. We know una type. Glittering star did. She has deactivated tho. Her posts are still here anyways

CONGRATULATIONS on your Remark for Writing, I'm happy for you.

Please how long did your Remark take?

Also did you do your Remark with BC or MOD IDP?

Itzpearlz:


Lol!!!!!!!!


Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyssssssssssssssss!


I'm suppppppppper excited!

I've been waiting patiently to mark my first post on this thread with a victory story.


You People!!!!

It's IELTS victory o!

Lol, no vex in case my excitement is too plenty for IELTS as other people are celebrating PPR.

So I wrote IELTS at first attempt last month.

That is, after several postponements for fear of the money not entering voicemail (75k is not beans o )
I eventually got the push that last month and immediately paid before I could change my mind.

And then it dawned on me that it was less than a month away!
Oh My Wow!

The spirit of "I've been using English all my life" overcame me in addition to handling plenty other activities all at once.

Speaking test was really fine. The storytelling part was especially fun. I had a Nigerian examiner. At a point, where I wanted to use 'phoné' to confuse myself, she just looked at me in a way that communicated "Just be yourself, better don't phonerize yourself into failure!"

I thank God.

Next the LWR tests..

Anytime I remembered that I had exam, I would quickly play the listening videos I had from a dear friend. I looked at the Reading material only once. And then the writing, Oh the writing! I had looked at the Cambridge writing materials a few times and somehow my mind told me that "It's just regular stuff naa". (Brethren, this is the SCAMMEST scam o! Don't fall for it! It's not regular o)
A night before the exam, that's when I decided to crash read the MOD writing practice textbook that my friend gifted me (Brethren, don't do this - it's a recipe for High Blood Pressure ). OMG, it was that night I realized how book is sha! I covered more than half of the book (glossing through in crash reading style). That night ehnnnnn, different thoughts "Why didn't I" "What if I had" "I wish I could"...

I slept off at about 4am and ended up oversleeping. By the time I woke, it was almost 7am!
Lol I had to wash face, brush my teeth and wore the first available Jean and Top. (Yes, I wrote the exam without bathing! ) My Dad to the rescue, he took me to a spot where I found OPay to the venue and I was able to make it there early.

Thank God!

The crowd sha!

A fresh fear came upon me. I was looking at people's faces as if trying to discern how many times they had written the exam and wondering if I'd be coming back again. I'd read of people spending over a million naira on IELTS test fees. Many thoughts rioting "Why didn't I prepare well?"

Eventually, I wrote.

The day before results came out, I was beside myself in anticipation and fear. Alas, the next morning I saw the results. Lo and behold, beautiful result except for the writing. Yes o, that writing shaaaa!!! My Goodness! The 6.5 hit me like "Gboa!"

I was confused to be honest. I talked with my EE Big Sis and her confidence in my matter ehnnnnn. She said I should request for a remark. She was SO SURE! Another friend said I should jejely not waste time with remark and just prepare my mind to rewrite it.

To say I was confused is to say the least. I was disappointed, crushed, confused and afraid, all at once.

I checked my score with 6.5 and with 7.0, Brethren, the gap was wiiiiiiddddddeeee!

What to do?

I decided to Walk in Faith and pray for a remark to return in my favour.
I chose to remark only Writing even though I've read that it's advisable to tick two modules to ensure the refund. Lol I ghatz focus my prayers well biko, so I chose to remark only writing.

The waiting for EOR sha.... I read almost every material I could find on EOR process.
All the different materials, some sent shivers down my spine, some gave me hope, some confused me. Chai! In fact, that's how I read somewhere that if the difference between your highest score and the least score is more than 2 points, then automatically there's no hope for an increase. I got reaaallly scared. I thank God that proved to be a false claim o.
My mum was scared the scores will even reduce! Lol I had to assure her from what I read here on NL that it wouldn't. But Brethren, in my research upandan online, I stumbled on some sites that said it could reduce o. Choi! See fear!
I sent private messages to Pwinkle1 and Michaelsmadison. Pwinkle1 was so kind and so detailed in her response! God bless you! MichaelMadison was so helpful, and patient with my drama. Lol!

You guys!!!!!!!!

Drum roll!!!

EOR Result is out and God gave me the 0.5 I needed!

I am MAD excited!

I kept praying and my prayer was "0.5" and He gave me exactly what I needed! Gratitude doesn't begin to contain how I feel.

Like, I don't mind the wait of this process o, but you see the thought of rewriting exam? Oh My!

Please, forgive my long post and join me to thank God!

Now, ECA wait begins.

Guys please has anyone successfully used experience in fractions for EE ? Like for a 3 years work experience but you worked in two firms ,same noc for 2years 4months and then 8months in the other or 2years 6months in one and 6 months in another

BCS proved very useful for me. I wrote in March and got my certificate in June. It also improved my CRS point. Since I am above the age threshold, I am still writting IELTS hoping to get the highest CLB.
My point is, try to write BCS exams. It is IT based but very easy to pass if you use a tutor since I did not have an IT background. I am a graduate of Library and Archival Studies.
If you need further advice, you can contact me or visit their website.

DECISION TO RELOCATE

I Left Naija for UAE in November 2015 on an employment visa. Hubby and I had applied together but unfortunately mine was processed first and cuz the company.needed lady staff urgently, I had to leave him behind with the hope that he would join a month later but that didn't happen as his application was refused and had to join after 7 months. The job he later got sef was in another town.
Immediately I got here, I started actively applying for jobs but all efforts proved abortive and the problem is not even that I'm not qualified for those those jobs cuz I was getting interview invites but the fact that I'm a Nigerian. Employers would prefer to give the job to other nationality even if they are under qualified, dem get trust issues with us. To be Nigerian in this country eh!...hmmmm.....story for another day.
The job at hand is only a menial one is so hectic and na also means to enter the country for better opportunity. Working 12 hours( this doesn't include the commuting time) night shift with one or two days off in a month. The off days sef na with fight sometimes as you would either have to lie you are sick or you have an emergency.Talk of the living condition, sleeping in a room with almost nine other occupants. It was hell!- Although, this is not the case in other companies and I know of Nigerians that are doing a well paid and skilled job but the percentage is very low.
Talk of the people we work with, Chaii!! Some no even get secondary school certificate and dem go dey do yanga for you unto say na their country men dey at the top.
Another issue that made me fed up of the job is that hubby and I hardly see. Most of the time when I'm off, he's not and we might not even see once in 3 months. Which kin life.
After about a year, I gave up looking for job and we decided that I should focus on the one at hand, finish my 2yr contract and go back home while hubby would continue looking.
Towards the end of my first contract in 2017, I was one day chatting with one of my friends whom we did NYSC together on FB. He asked about life in UAE and while I was complaining, he was like why u no try Canada na. Told him I don't have any money for agent jare, then he told me its all DIY. He explained the basic things like WES, IELT and that I should be the PA since I'm younger. He then sent me all the necessary links I needed. My friend was alreadyh in the pool then waiting forITA
When I got to work that night, I took my time to go through those links and simulated my score and was around 450 something. I chatted my friend up and he was like, with this score, you are balling oooo.
I called hubby and explained everything to him, he agreed at the instance but then reminded me of the POF which means I would have to renew my contract as no job would be waiting for me in Nigeria.
Thought about it for days, weighed the prons and cons and concluded to remain here. I renewed my employment in November 2017and by January 2018, my friend had gotten ITA and his PPR MARCH. That was when I started the preparation for IELTS.

IELTS
I joined some IELTS groups on FB and many were expressing their feeling on how they'v failed several times especially writing. Na their I know say E no b moimoi. Me wey I know say my English sef don spoil with the kind people I dey work with....Na to go carry BRIGHTER GRAMMAR so I go fit start from scratch ooo....lol.....dem no dey understand if you speak correct English so na to dey pick out the keywords of the sentence wey u wan try pass across.
I prepared for more than six months. Started preparing in March 2018 and wrote in November 10th, 2018 and passed at the first sitting with scores L8.5. W7 S7.5 R8.5. For reading and listening, I downloaded Cambridge 1-12 from the link I got from my friend and added other materials I got online. At first, I was using my phone to practise but due to the nature of my work but couldn't practise in exam conditions and those reading passages were hard. My work involves staring at more than 20 monitors at once and with moblie screen, by the time I finish my duty in the morning, my eyes would be strained. So I got a pinter and printed the whole of Cambridge 1-12 to make things easier. God knows how manymanu A4 paper I used..lol..anything for canny....
For writing, I knew I needed someone to review my essays so I got an online tutor for a fee. As for the speaking, I didn't practise until had booked for the test. I subscribed to liz's youtube vidoes and also checked out her website. It was from her I got to know that speaking questions are changed every 4 months(don't know if this is still applicable) and so questions can be repeated within those months. So, I copied questions that were being reported by students around the wrorld who recently did the speaking test, asked myself those questions and recorded my voice. On exam day, I listened to my voice on my way to the listening test and to God be the glory, my part 2 question was among those that had prepared for.
Hubby didn't have much time to prepare as we decided late for him to write but his score was enough to increase our score.

ECA
This was ready before writing IELTS. I did my verification at the time WES was still accepting transcripts directly from applicants, so I took vacation and went to my school in Nigeria. It was hassle free maybe na cuz na private school sha. I sent my sealed transcripts with photocopy of Msc. certificate to WES and evalution took 7 weeks.
I didn't know of this thread until few days to ITA and so we used to think that hubby's verification was compulsory. He wasn't due for vacation at the time so he contacted one of his friends who gave him one lecturers number to help him process his transcript. The school doesnt give transcripts directly to students and so had to be sent direcly to WES and Oga billed us almost 40k which we paid. After payment n ko, na so story start oooo, till today, transcript we no see, money e no refund. It was when I was complaining to my friend that I got to know that IELTS and WES isn't compulsory for secondary applicant. Na so we bone the man. Mr. Lecturer, there is God oooo!
While creating profile, we chose below secondary school for hubby's education and included LOE post ITA stating we chose that cuzI ECA wasn't done for it credentials and we won't be claiming points for it.

REFERENCE LETTER
This was straightforward. I went to my previous employer during my vacation who told me draft the letter is the format I wanted and he printed on the school letterhead.I added salary certificate as I was paid in cash, wasn't issued payslip and and school has no official website. I attached an LOE to explain all these, I even explained further that the COLLEGE behind the name of the school is commonly used for secondary schools in Nigeria and not College per se. Na wetin paranoia dey cause be that...lol..and I no wan NOC mismatch wahala.


ITA
Around October 2018, I transferred around 500k from my salary account to my.Nigerian savings account when I realised I wouldn't be able to use my salary account for POF as I would need a no objection letter from my company to get account statement. And the company wey I know no go even get my time.It was in December when we wanted to enter the pool that I got to know in one of the Indian FB group I had joined hat I would have to explain where I got the lump sum transferred meaning I would still need my salary account or wait till after 6 months . Which kind wahala be this one na!
My friend asked what we were waiting for and I explained the fund transfer ish to him and that POF sef never complete. He told me he doesn't matter that if the money isn't complete then I could reject ITA. He was like what if they put a stop to immigration and that even tie breakingthe rule might afftect us. So by January 19th, we sha created profile with one mind and got ITA on 23rd. I waited till February before declining ITA thinking that we would get in the following draw. The draw in February was 457 which was exactly our score but the tie breaking rule affected us...haa! Village people, and friend talk am oooo. Thankfully the draw in March 6th was 454 or so and thst was how ITA was clinched

POST ITA
I discovered this thread after the first ITA when and I was researching about lump sum transfer and gift deed for canada EE. It was then I got to.know that one doesn't need 6 months statement when using gift deed and so my mum transferred the balance to complete our POF.
After receiving the second ITA, I asked if there was any post ITA and when I didnt get any response, I created one and invited people to join. The group name was later changed to April/May Post AOR. which is full of awesome people

POF
As have read that most Nigerian banks don't gove reference letter in CIC, I applied for 3 months bank statement, non indebtedness letter and reference letter which was scanned to my mail. I added the transfer slip showing the transfer of fund from my mom's account to mine and a gift deed which she had done the affidavit in court. I also added my birth certificate towith proof the relationship between my mum and I cuz we do not bear the same surname (my parents use our family name while my sibling and I use my father's surname)
PCC
We submitted Nigerian and UAE PCC. For Nigerian PCC , we printed the fingerprint form online, filled and sent through courier to Nigeria and my uncle who had chatted with Inspector Moshood took them to Alagbon. He collected 15k for both. UAE PCC sent to our within 24hours after applying online.
In my passport, my surname was written as middle name and vise versa. So there were documents that didn't have the correct order of my name and so I attached my NIN slip, one and same person Affidavit and LOE.
I attached an LOE at the beginning of each placeholder and also a general LOE summarising all that needed to be explained and uploaded in the LOE section.

MEDICAL
I was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2015 when I wanted to leave naija for UAE and I took some medications then. I didn't even bother to redo the test to know my status since I wasn't having any symptoms and my visa was approved. So during our medical, I declared upfront to the doctor( I also answered yes to statutory questions while filling form post ITA) who stated that both hubby and I had to do the test. We assured him we know hubby's status but he said its protcol since we are couple. This came with additional cost. Result came with hubby being negative and mine positive.

POST AOR
Submitted our application in April 17th and one week post AOR, I got a mail from NDVO for furtherance test and contcted the doctor where I did my medical. Further tests were done and result showed that the viral counts are low and almost undetectable. On may 27th, meidcal was passed and Bil recieved. Biometrics was completed on may 30th and then the wait began. There were no changes in our application and every time we open na so so SUBMITTED for 6 months, thank God I belong to an amazing whatsapp group wey full of lovely people, the wait for turn person to another thing.
I lost my younger sister on the same day that our application clocked 3 months (July 17) and I was devastated. This took my mind off the application for a while cuz I jad to be there for our parents being the first child. Thanks to my group members also for their prayers and words of encouragement..April/May AOR, you guys are awesome!. Can't wait to celebrate those that still waiting.
I Mailed Ottawa towards the end of July to know visa office and app status and got the response that it's on queue to be reviewed by officer. I thought it was the famous RR cuz of those K-leg wey the application get and ordered GCMS immediately. Ordered through GETCMS and later got to know the response gotten from Ottawa was generic. Got the notes after 30days and it showed only criminality passed and others not started.
Mailed Ralph on 19th of August and his response was no different from that of GCMS note.
Raised CSE 3 days to 6month completion and Eligibility was in progress, criminality passed and security not started.
As other members of the group with same AOR date were seeing ghost update, I decided to check our application on October 24th and saw that I had a GU. I was so happy knowing that PPR was on the way. Woke up 5am the follwing morning to pray and decided to check my mail and there it was, the most awaited mail. Mail was received 12.25am UAE on 25th October.
Passport submitted on 27th October and now awaiting COPR.
Thanks to all those who contribute to this great thread.God bless you all.

AN APPROACH TO ANSWERING OPINION ESSAY QUESTIONS—THE JOHNNYBRAVO APPROACH.
I will use a sample essay I wrote to explain how to do attempt an opinion essay question. An opinion essay question is one that asks for a specific opinion on an issue. This kind of essay should have an introduction that contains your opinion, a body that contains the reasons for your opinion, and a conclusion which summarises your opinion and the reasons mentioned earlier.

Introduction
The introduction should amongst other things contain your opinion, otherwise known as the opinion statement of the essay. Your opinion should be an appropriate answer to the specific sentence in the question that asks for your opinion which in this case is ‘to what extent do you agree or disagree?’ In my essay, my opinion is seen in the introduction, underlined.

Body
Opinion essays should have a number of body paragraphs according to the number of reasons(or points) you wish to use to support your opinion. Ideally, try to have 2 or 3 reasons for your opinion, i.e. 2 or 3 body paragraphs for opinion essays. Each reason must be stated clearly in the very first sentence of each body paragraph. In each body paragraph of my essay, you can see each reason highlighted. Also, endeavour to refresh the examiner’s memory about your opinion before mentioning each reason, as seen in my essay. The rest of the body paragraph is to elaborate on the reason and to support with a relevant example.

Conclusion
For opinion essays, the conclusion should simply be restating your opinion again and summarising all your points mentioned earlier.

Pls aw do I get in touch with u.
Here s my email... blessukwenya@yahoo.com

Vincad:


I am going for French too and yes it will be evaluated positively by ICES or CES. WES will just give you one semester at best so use ICES. It might take a bit longer but it's definitely worth it.

are u sure do u know anyone who has done it?

Thanks so much

Yayyy. Congrats to you. Well done.
