Buh dat 68k no be beans o.
My previous score was LSRW 7 7.5 7 6.5,
Pls gurus helmp n advice me...

Get it re-marked. Hope its still within the 6weeks accepted time range, if yes...go wt your TRF(hard copy of result) and 15k bankdraft to Ikoyi,ur score wld most likely change. The only issue is it takes ages to get the reviewed result (7-10weeks).

@ Adiahabasi thank you for your opinion, i will ask him to send only my transcript then he will scan and send me my Certificate so that i can send from my end then i will use EMS speed post instead of dhl and the likes to send it to WES .

Uw. Better still, send the soft copy to anyone u know in Canada, so they print and post locally. It'll be faster and way cheaper. Just make sure they write your WES ref number on the envelope. Local postage Costs 3CAD

showerses:
The gurus in the house please help me out I want my ECA to be done by WES but please i need your input, since i graduated i have not collected my Certificate due to time only have my Statement of result, now i contacted my school for my transcript and i want them to include a photocopy of my certificate which they have accepted and i also told them about the Transcript request form from WES and the guy asked me to scan and send to him to also include , my people is it advisable or my school should just send only my transcript

Your certificate and transcript is fine. No need to send the transcript request form for WES. But if I were you, I'll let the man scan my certificate to me, then wld send it separately from my end. That's the safest option in my opinion.

40manlappy:


That's how it is now o...I could not believe the information too until I got to the school.

I learned that the state government has not paid their monthly subvention for about 15 months, so the school has to find a way to survive and pay salaries. This they did by increasing all the related that ex-students have to pay.

For OOU ,just send your certificate (s) to WES, chill for 2-3weeks, then check your profile, it wld hv changed to document sent for verification, follow up wt the school to reply and datsall. Worked for 3 friends from OSU. No need for transcript. But you'll def still need your transcript in Canada.

Today's draw...786!

dupyshoo:
I have read on this thread of someone that did it and it worked. Just ensure the transcript envelope is sealed and stamped by your school.

Another option is to send a scanned copy of your certificate via email to a friend/family in Canada to help you post it. I [b]don't think it will cost more than 10 CAD to post [/b]locally as it costs from £1 - £6 to post to Canada from the UK.

The application form and checklist is not necessary. I did not include it in my transcripts and there was no issue. In fact, a friend included it and her transcript was rejected as WES claimed it was not sent directly from school. She had to instruct her school to resend it again and without the checklist before it was accepted. I am not sure if the checklist was the cause though.

You're right sis,costs 3CAD to post it locally within Canada, normal mail and they receive it in less than 5days regardless of which part of the country its posted from

iykedpetes:
please family

how can i pay to WES because i have been having issues with payment...i have gotten the form and the reference number ... but the problem now is making payment....some one that have made payment should help mee please

Get someone outside Naija to pay for u wt their card, then u pay back into their Naija acct. That's what I did. The 2nd option is to get a Dom acct,buy dollars @ the parallel market rate to fund it, and use d debit card attached to it to make payment.

Empire14:
Hello I need someone to put me tru , me and my wife score is 471 and we got invitation the last draw but I am on training abroad now. I won't be back till dec and our score will have drop to 466 due to my wife age.pls I wanna knw if it won't affect our application when applying

I don't think that's a problem, as long as you apply within the stipulated 2months.But let's still hear from more experienced ppl like Dupyshoo.

SINP OID just opened!

knigh04:


Thanks for your responses @deking and dannietee; as suggested by @deking; maybe she missed out on bonus points... Please am humble and grateful if anyone can take us through this process.

Gracious!

Go through page 0 of this thread. You'll learn a lot.
That said, to have up to 450, she'll need to rewrite her ielts and ace it. 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 in L,R,S& W respectively. Then if u intend going with her,its advisable u do your ECA and ace ielts as well. If u don't, you'll be reducing her score by 30.

mzjennypher:
Good day house,
i had my undergraduate degree in ui and masters degree in ife pls ow do i go abt evaluating it since they are different schools and is it okay for me to start the evaluation process when i am yet to do my IESTL test? pls assist

Google WES canada, got to where it says CIC or so,register and make ur payment or choose western union and pay later. U'll get a reference no. Send copies of both certificates to WES( or u scan to someone in Canada to post for u, its faster). Then apply for transcript from both schools to be sent directly to WES..quote ur reference no in the WES address you send to both schools. Read my previous posts to see Hw to go abt getting transcripts from OAU.

deking:


ETX is highly inefficient, I rate them 1/10. Aside making payment to the school on your behalf they rarely add any value. I used them to apply for my transcripts as well and for over 2 months they had no information for me, other than "it is being processed". Even when my backend checks and WES had acknowledged the transcripts and sent it back to the school for verification.

If this is not your first time, then I will advise you get someone out there to assist else be willing to wait for a long time as ETX will not give you any useful information until about 3 months after payment is paid .

It's the school's fault more often than not.ETX sent my payment to OAU same day I paid.I followed up the process thru some staff I know in OAU. Can u believe that the departments asked for 2 rolls of paper before printing result and sending to the transcript office? They claimed its to make it fast and if not we should chill till transcript sends them paper(4 weeks average).Anyways wt serious follow up took 8working days for the transcript to be ready and sent via DHL to WES. ETX hasn't updated my profile to transcript sent yet since the school is still yet to notify them.

dammysanmi:
We both have over 6 years work experience individually. I'll attempt the IELTS exam one more time, and ace it too. I infer that she does not need to re-attempt the IELTS (she's already demotivated anyway)
Thanks a lot @dupyshoo.

If she rewrites she'll only get 2-3marks extra,so not necessary.

PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP

Go to the Canadian nursing website and read up.Also google "WES Nursing express entry

Some new changes to Canadian immigration rules. Scanned thru but yet to dissect the info.Sleep no gree. Only thing I've seen so far is that we now HV 3months to submit an application after ITA.

sehawale:


what about boosting points by getting a valid offer of employment in Canada. I checked using the CRS tool that it could add 600 points to your score if you get Canada job offer. There is a concern though. Some oyinbo agents based in Canada claim they can help applicants get job offer in Canada but you will be charged ( as high as 3000 CAD). Any one knows how true this is?

It'l be quite difficult to get a job if you haven't landed. The LMIA process seems tedious
Moreover even for landed immigrants it takes an average of 3months to get a job. Is the 3,000cad refundable if they end up not getting you a job?If its not, its not advice able.

sehawale:


yes....Wes confirmed receipt already too. I used etx-ng.com/oau

Pls how long did this take?

How much would it cost to re-paint a camry 2007 using the same colour on it?
2. If u will be using Sikkens,how much wld u charge?

livchi:

please i need an urgent reply.

urgent help pls....

i want to send this transcript now that i find myself near my school and later make the payment in 2weeks time when am back to lagos

urgent reply pls

No Naira dominated card can be used pay 4 WES.Ur best bet is to get someone in the US or UK make the payment wt their card,then u pay back into their Naija card in naira.
Sending your transcript wtout your reference code is risky,WES takes no responsibility of such deliveries.Its safer you pay WES first,so you don't end up paying twice for your transcript.

ray78:
Very informative thread,i wish i had followed it earlier.I'm interested in the Express Entry migration scheme-i'm single 29 years old,i have a WES for my Unilag Bsc and currently awaiting a WES for my UK masters.I have 4 years 8 months work experience and an additional one year from my NYSC.I took the IELTS last year and scored L 7.5 R 8.5 S 8.5 W 6.5 Overall band 8. I was feeling good with my ielts score but im just finding out that my Listening and Writing score should be higher?Is it too late to request a remark? Do the ielts examiners mark more favorably if you dont indicate you're a CIC applicant?
What will be my current CRS points?Do i stand a chance for an ITA?
Appreciate any advice/commentary.

Its too late to get a re-mark. Enquiry on result can only be done within 6weeks of the test date. As it is, your CRS score would be too low to get ITA without going through provincial nomination. Your best bet is to re-write IELTS and aim for 8.5, 8,7.5,7.5 IN LRSW resp. Hope this helps.

DIPXOID:


Thanks for the reply. Can I send the result to WES directly from OAU without going there?

I went there physically but was told its now strictly online.So its either you go through ETX-NG(https://www.etx-ng.com/oau/) or through the OAU e-portal (http://eportal.oauife.edu.ng/transcripts). I tried the e-portal but it wasn't straightforward. I was directed to request, after the request the next screen said I should keep checking my mails on the portal that a staff would attend to me soon. After 4days of checking, re-checking and re-sending mails and getting error msgs, I decided to go with ETX. So far so good,their customer service is on-point. So fingers crossed to see how fast they'll be.

DIPXOID:
As I asked earlier:

Hello guys, please has anyone sent their transcript from OAU to WES before, I'd like to get some information. Thanks!

Yes...still on it though.

Fatima is a 43year old widow. So this is not her 1st marriage. Ppl should stop making a mountain out of a mole hill.

debbiejosh:

This is incorrect. You can sponsor your wife as soon as you get your PR Status, how be it, you need to come back to Nigeria to get married, then sponsor her which would take about 9 months.
However, I would advise that you complete your application Before you get married. After you get married, please inform them, they would send you documents for your wife, and you add her to the application, it's much easier this way than declining the ITA.
Other seniors and gurus can give more input.

oops my bad. Hw u dey babes? Long time. My physio in the diaspora

damidior:
I have followed this trend from page 1. Wow.

I have an issue,i have tried to calculate the CRS score but my eyes are "doing somehow".
Please help me out (a kind hearted Nairalander):

Work Experience : 15 years

Spouse :

Also help calculate who is more suitable for PA

I have trouble calculating the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level per ability




God bless you as you do so

If your occupation is on this list, it'll be better to tour the provincial nomination route.

Bumdesh:
Please people let's help a brother that's in a fix

Hi All,
I need small clarification. My score is 475 and I received ITA in the last draw. I got these points as an unmarried. I am getting married next week and I am confused on how to proceed.

Option 1:
Should I continue my application as a single applicant and apply for dependent visa once my PR is issued? Is it still valid?

Option2:
Should I include my spouse's details before applying for the PR? In that case, does she needs to take IELTS and get her transcripts verified? This is not at all feasible in 2 months time.

Pls advise.

1. You can only apply for dependant visa 2 years after you got PR.
Not so sure of hw best to go abt it...the gurus in the house will advice on the best option.
But in my opinion option 2 is out of the question.

klawaaa:
yeah, you can send mail to ETX customer care and attached your wes form to the mail. Please your will have to followup closely with them both on calls and mail. check ETX.ng on google.

pls how long did it take them to send your transcript?

Hi house, Kind of in a dilemma. Please who has recently gotten his or her transcript from OAU?I.e since they went strictly online (ETX). Want to know if WES went thru the transcript verification process and if IQAS..how did you get the form to ETX (I.e the form you have to fill a part of and send to your school to complete, and then send with your transcript.
