Be patient, it appears Unilag won't respond to their email verification but wait for the mail from wes instead, which may take a week or two.

harry41:
Hello Friend, I am still on this verifcation thing ooo. I have called WES several times and they insist that they have sent the verification via postal mail and email but Unilag keeps saying they haven’t received it. I have asked Wes to resend the email but they are reluctant to do so. Please I need help. Do you have another contact in Unilag to help please?

On this WAEC issue, I had mine evaluated with my Bsc last year because I didn't want stories that touch incase i wanted to upgrade my WES for school, which I have successfully now.

The info on their website was outdated, so I suffered small that day.

I went to the WAEC office in Jibowu, paid 10k for processing and 9k for UPS. I was asked for affidavit( you can get this done under one shed outside the building for 2k or so in like 30mins), plis dears, bother doing it elsewhere because they will not accept it and they'll still direct you to the shed outside the building. I was asked to bring my exam number (the exam number will be used in the affidavit), I also used a copy of my statement of result as I didn't have my certificate, some passport photographs. Cant remember any other significant thing I was asked.

I can't remember if I paid for verification again (I doubt I did)but I collected the transcript guy's number to follow up on verification.

The process may be different now sha.

I hope this helps!

Please can anyone help my friend. She is very good at writing and reading in French, the major challenge is speaking fluently and she want to take TEF.
Is there anywhere in Lagos she can learn the speaking and brush up her skills? Thank y'all in advance.

It is most likely ready but call their helpline on 08150199900 and follow the voice prompt to speak with an agent to be sure your passport is ready for pick up. You'll be asked for your tracking number. When did you submit your passport btw?
Nwandy218:
Please who sent you the "ready for collection mail? I just got this from vfs. Is it same as ready?

"Dear Applicant,

We would like to inform you that your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office, on 26 Jun 2018 to the Canada Visa Application Centre.

Hi guys,

Has anyone used the Nipost option on Unilag's website when sending transcript to WES? Did it work? How long did it take?

No response ☹️

Abbylee:
Thanks for all the congratulatory messages cheesy

However, something is unclear, when submitting my passports, do i still need to update my family information i.e. fill and send IMM008 and additional family information forms, since they have already acknowledged that I got married before giving me PPR?


Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 4 by Abbylee: 9:57am On Jun 03, 2018
I think they just wanted the applications completed separately for the sake of the fees while also acknowledging that we are married.
Ottawa won't take on my application without fresh fees, London won't transfer my fees to them either as they already mobilised manpower. I think it was just convenient for them although they know we are both going to Canada (and we will definitely accompany each other lol), just that we applied separately. The non-accompanying part is just for formality and to make the whole thing less complicated for whoever comes across our application in the future.....I think.

Elfmannisback:

What does that non-accompanying dependent mean?

Hi guys, I got PPR yesterday.

My application was onehow so I’m sharing all the details should someone find himself or herself in this situation.

My husband got his PPR and COPR before we got married. His application was processed in Ottawa while mine was in London.

His timeline below;
ITA- 4th August 2017
Medicals- 25th Oct
AOR- 31st Oct
Medicals passed- 10th Nov
We do not need additional docs- 20th Nov
ADR POF- 21st Nov
ADR submitted- 27th Nov
Add docs are being reviewed- 7th Dec
Ordered gcms notes-9th Jan
We need more docs...- 11th Feb
Gcms received- 7th Feb
ADR Addn family info- 7th Feb
ADR submitted- 8th Feb
We do not need add docs...- 16th Feb
IP2- 19th Feb
PPR- 20th Feb

My timeline below
AOR: 14th December
MEP/IP1: 21st December
NA2: 4th January
Job mail/FTD/NADR: 29th January
IP2: 27th February

Got married: 19th May
We notified them individually via email and CSE: 21st May
London responded to my email two days later, saying they would withdraw my application, reopen his application and merge mine with his. Ottawa was quiet about his emails.
ADR (Husbands account): 23rd May- The generic stuff they ask for when you add your spouse; Processing fees & RPRF, several forms, wedding pictures, marriage certificate and he was instructed to return his passport and COPR.

At this point, I was upset that they ignored the fact that I submitted an application as well and just sent him the same thing as though he added me to his application as a fresher. I had been in contact with a friend of @4Barr (thanks for the hookup btw) who had been in the exact situation and said the same thing happened to her and they had to pay again hoping she would receive her refund then but they never withdrew her application nor did they refund till date (over a year now). So we decided to hold out on responding to the ADR after all, we had 30days to respond.

Anyway, we both emailed them severally that I already paid with my own application and we shouldn’t have to pay a second time. London responded to mine and said they would contact Ottawa about the fees. Ottawa eventually responded saying he should disregard the ADR and fees and that an officer will attend to his file shortly, this was after he called them to order in an email about them ignoring his previous messages and explaining our situation again

Two days later I followed up with London, they responded on the 31st and said;

“Thank you for your email.

We have indeed received a response from our office in Ottawa. They will continue to process and issue for your spouse’s application and this office will continue to process and issue for your application. No additional fees are payable.

Your spouse will be added to your application as a non-accompanying dependent, and you will be added to his application as a non-accompanying dependent.

We will send a request letter via your MyCIC account shortly. Please review it as soon as possible”

ADR for Marriage Certificate (Husband’s account): 30th May.
ADR for Marriage Certificate (My account shortly after their response): 31st May
My account was also updated with my husband as a dependant.
PPR: 1st June

Another PPR for my hubby: 5th June.

NB: We sent our passports separately

Please get married first before you apply, your score will drop but it should be okay enough to get you ITA quickly.

Dotcman:
Hello house,

Please I need your advise. My CRS is 470 so I'm expecting ITA next week if there's a draw. Problem is my registry is next week Thursday, question is should I put the application on hold till after my wedding so I can add my spouse, or I should receive ITA, in that case how will I add my spouse ASAP.

Hi guys,

Can one use the certified copy of transcript from UNIBEN to access their degree with WES? Does it have to be original transcript? UNIBEN is asking a friend which they should send, certified copy or original transcript?

Anyone assessed their degree from Uniben? Please help

I have a friend that was exactly in your shoes. She got married after her hubby got COPR and her own application was on-going too. They notified CIC and they merged their application, requested for the hubby's COPR and re-issued a new COPR to the two of them. This however depends on the stage you are in your own application as she was already on IP2 so the process was faster.

We didn't really notice IP1, not even after medicals passed, so either we missed it or it was NA all through, most likely the later cos we were watching that thing like hawks.

Anyway, na my own remain now.

Based on this, I have a serious question, if mine doesn't come out by the time we get married, will he have to notify them? I have seen cases of people adding their spouses after COPR but before landing but never a case where the spouse had also submitted an application. Your thoughts?
