I did this. The way it works is that your school will give you the sealed transcript. Then the courier will have two envelopes in one delivery. That is one envelope with your transcript and another with your certificate and any other information you need. Two envelopes one postage.

Creative thinking there you know

bigfido:
MRSDA all these great Ife.. Great Ife sef *eyes rolling off sockets*

And to get transcript na war.

Bros you wont understand. We have a culture! Lolz @rolling eyes sha

fabdee:
Finally ooooooo PPR has fallen on me oooooooooo. Oh my goodness. Brb my people my people

Let somebody shout HALLELUYAH!!!

mamacajah:
Yes, I used online for the first and last time..
Transcript request --22k
verification request-- 3k
total --25k

Lol@.....first and last time. However are these charges similar with that of the school ?

MRSDA:
OAU transcript is so snail speed! It took me almost 2 months despite using an insider! Then they mistakenly omitted my husband's transcript. If we had know he wouldn't need it since he has a UK masters, would have just not bothered with his.
Their excuse for mine was that I graduated 15 years ago and I have never requested a transcript. So what?

As for the NOC, just choose the one that has the closest to your job description.
All the best

ife and wahala sha. I hope a 10year period would be of less headache to them since we got hold of good IT facilities during our understudy days...sigh

MRSDA:
Greatest Ife, try not to go the ETX route if you can avoid it. If you need someone on ground, I have a contact I can send his details to you. It will cost you a little but it will be way faster than ETX-NG

Great Ife,thanks for this as someone has warned against using them in an earlier post. I wouldn't mind having your contact info through pm.
Regards

mamacajah:
It was OAU, oh. WES did not give me any issues. See timeline below.

My advice, get someone to do the processing and follow up for you when it comes to OAU.

24th April.. paid for transcript
24th May...OAU finally sends transcript to WES
29th May...WES receives transcripts
9th June... WES sends verification request
13th June.. ETX sends payment request for verification, which is paid same day
13th July...OAU sends email to send my WES ref no in order to finally respond to WES
18th July.. OAU confirms verification response has been sent
15th August ..WES ECA report completed, e-copy received
21st August.. WES ECA hard copy received in Nigeria

Interesting but i can see you used ETX here. Could that be the reason for the delay with OAU and you now suggesting we should use someone on ground for proper and prompt follow-up?

P.S: can u furnish me with cost breakdown? Thanks
Great Ife!

mamacajah:
Hello All, Please I still need some clarification on this:

So I have finally gotten my ECA from WES completed (HALLELUYAH) after 4 months of back and forth with OAU and I am preparing for my IELTS test. So I need help with the following as I begin to gather the necessary documents for post ITA.

1. NOC- I am yet to sight an NOC for my work experience. My work was logistics HSE / data management related and the only NOC that seems to be close is 1215 but its only one item from the whole NOC description that I can link my work to. Other jobs done can be linked to NOC 1241 (Administrative assistant) and NOC 1411. So which NOCs do I use?

cc:cochtrane

Madam any major reason for the long period? Is the problem from WES or from our alma mater? Bcus IQAs n ICEs is now a considerable options ooo

baht shild !

bigfido:
No o.. Don't wait for him to get PR o.. Please hold his trouser like 2 weeks after AOR, drag him to court, put a ring on that finger, then raise a CSE notifying them about the marriage. They will ask you to submit your details then. But please make sure he has submitted, gotten AOR before your marriage date. Very important. If you wait for him to get PR before applying, menopause fit don reach before you see your husband again

closetextrovert:
For question 2, you wont be asked for what you didnt input in your form. So if you are certain that your current employer will give you work reference to cover the period of your nysc, then you are free to put your present work experience as 3yrs.

HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THIS INFO IS INLINE WITH THE INFORMATION YOU PUT ON ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, FROM FACEBOOK PROFILE TO LINKEDIN, INSTAGRAM ETC. CIC has been known to get information about applicants through these open source channels.

Cheers and all the best.

Wow see free expos3é. Thanks for this

Triv:
My people God has done it o! PPR!!! Finally, wow finally!!!

My timeline

AOR feb 10th
MP March 10th
NBG March 11th

Goodluck everyone especially my feb/ London VO people. The wait wasn't easy

Congratulations. More grace for the journey ahead has one has just ended. Welldone

Onlineise:


Be careful what you wish for...I remember praying for London VO earlier in this process when they were processing PPR like under 6weeks. So I got a response to my enquiry just now, saying my file has been moved from Sydney to London, my heart sank cause right now I hear Accra dey learn for where London dey.

They even said in their response "...please do not send repeat status requests...your cooperation will be appreciated." ... i take it as a subtle threat, so right now make i just dey my lane going forward.

MummyJaygirls:
Your question says is it a MUST for iqas and the answer is no. Its now up to u to send or not

Ok then. Thanks i will do the needful

Blingyrie:
Almost similar to mine and I have 3 yrs on u; ended up being d pa. But to max ya points, both of u shud do d IELTS (oga can fetch u 20points der) and also wes for his highest (more points der, mine had 2certs n added 9pts to me). And ofcourse u really need to nail that IELTS. If u evaluate both ya bsc n pgd, u also get higher point. These are all I did n managed to get 423 with that age; the rest is #olowogbogboro's handiwork that ended in praises. Goodluck

Good thinking

closetextrovert:
Its actually not different strokes for different folks. You dont need to submit that form with your transcript. As long as its your school officially sending your transcript.

Ok then. Thanks for the input. Will act accordingly

Ehrnie:
I think it's worth sharing this info on this new thread. I've had a lot of people ask about the stages -

Stages in Canadian PR journey

1st the profile
2nd is ITA
3rd is AOR
4th medicals
5th background
6th ppr
7th COPR
8th landing
9th pr card
=======================

These are 3 different stages that majority of the PR applicants in EE will see against Background check in My CIC.

IP1
--------
IP1 will be shown when we pass the medical. Some people get this update on the same day along with their medical and some of them couple of days after. CIC agents will do R10, criminality checks during this stage. Once they feel everything is good then they will change it to NA. These things will happen at CIO Office (Centralized Intake Office)

NA
---------
This stage, our file will be transferred to CPC (Case processing Center) where agents will do eligibility assessments. If they feel everything is okay, then they will provide their recommendation to Visa Officer and same time they will initiate Security Checks.

IP2
--------
This status will be seen in my CIC account once Visa Officer starts reviewing or after reviewing all agents recommendations. On the same day PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF upfront. These things will be done at CPC office.

It is not necessary that every applicant will undergo this process. But majority of the cases, I have noticed the same status

Good one

MummyJaygirls:
No

Ok then,i must confess this is getting interesting. Well i will conclude its different strokes for different folks.

DatechMan:
About the DOB issue. I've written WES, but haven't heard from them.

I am hoping to use an affidavit and a good LOE.

Sitting at 441, Awaiting ITA.

May more PPR fall on us in this Part 2.

Am keeping a tab on this. Keep us posted as event unfolds.

Hephgirl:
Ur transcript is dated? Strange
If it's dated u request for a new one.

I mean the accompanying letter of introduction. Ideally transcript are not dated except for ones DOB

Farefare:
There's an IQAS form ment to be filled and attached to the transcript by the school before sending to IQAS. I think a new request would be better so they don't insinuate foul play and refuse to evaluate your degree. Meaning wasted cash.

Ok but is it a must that the form must be sent along with the transcript?

dumsydsassy1:
Hey atigro, practice is the key word.. practice Listening like your life depends on it.. make sure you do practice tests every day. Under the same exam conditions. No pausing the video or playing back.. you won't get better like that. For reading , learn the tips for answering the different types of questions, you don't need to read the whole passage to answer a particular question, the key is to look for keywords in the question and then scan through the passage looking for a synonym of that keyword, it almost always never comes exactly as it is in the question,it's always a synonym, when you find it read the area well and choose your answer. Another trick I used for reading was to read just the first sentence of each paragraph. The topic of a paragraph is most times in the first sentence, if you want to be doubly sure, read the last two sentences of the paragraph in addition.
For writing like I stated above I used E2language tutor -Jay on YouTube.he makes you write along with him as he teaches. I also learnt vocabulary for different kinds of topics.. for instance a topic on crime & punishment, you need words like: parole,bail,inmate etc to include in your essay.
For speaking: that one was divine intervention, from the beginning of the interview to d end , I was nervous, shaking, smiling like a clown and stammering. I dunno how I got 8. I sha familiarized myself with the process of the test, I mean what to expect at different points, in part 1,2,and 3. I hope I was able to help.

God will bless you for this! I am highly grateful. I will keep every word you said at heart. Thanks

cochtrane:
EE is the route through which you get FSW. I'm guessing you are applying to go to Canada as a skilled worker. People also go for skilled trade and experience class. Everyone goes through express entry where they are all pooled together.
By getting a CRS score above the specified cut-off you then apply as a skilled worker under FSW where you must meet the requisite 67

Yes your guess is right and thanks for the debriefing. But above all i wont mind your assistance as towards me aceing my ielts. Gunning for LRSW 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 respectively. Thats my projected baseline score! Boost me with directives

Feygbe:
Let me use this analogy.

Express entry is the Father and he has three children:
1. Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
2. Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
3. Federal Skilled Trade (FST)

Better,lolz at the analogy

dumsydsassy1[b][/b]:


Yay welcome part 2! I promise not to be a silent reader on this thread, and to help were I can, just as our seniors have helped me this far. So help me God.  
still at ECA stage, ielts done-LRWS-9,9,8.5,8.[b][/b]

Your best advice for an intending test taker? I fancy your score because i am gunning for LRSW 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 by God's grace!

Farefare:
That 10-12wks wait besides results would be frozen and can't enter the pool until result is out(I think). Make I just write again jor.
I can get into the pool when my ECA is out then update with new perfect score

OBO thingz

Farefare:
I studied using materials form this platform and ielts Liz.
IQAS: I registered and sent my docs in March; school sent my transcript in April but after waiting almost 2 months and not getting the second maiI from IQAS,i made enquires and was told it was sent via nipost. I requested that it be resent via courier. With that I was able to track delivery. Got the second mail about a week after delivery (that was last month).expecting result anytime soon.

Ok nice one about the ielts,already digesting cochtrane feeds.
Regarding the ECA i think its important one enforce the school to use other courier instead of nipost but then i have this to ask" I am in possession of my transcripts but it's dated 2010 didn't use it back then so I just kept it intact/unopened?. Can I send that for evaluation to IQAS?. Will the date/address be any problem? Or I shd request for another one but mind you,ASUU is on strike?

cochtrane:
You know, FSW is not ranked. So you only need enough selection factors to give you 67. Once you get 67 you are fine. If you have 67 already, with only 3 years experience, then you are good.
It's express entry that is ranked. But experience maxes out at 3, which means if you have 2 years it's not good enough. You get?

Am confused! Whats the difference between EE and FSW?

Hephgirl:
1. U wanna submit ur application do u have an ECA?
2. I read on d other thread where wes changed d dob also sort of quotted d old one.
So u can use that with loe, mayb an affidavit

ECA about to be initiated through IQAS but the concern is the wrong DOB on my transcript. I have an affidavit with the correct one but i dont know if IQAS would agree to correct it . Whats the way out if they're adamant?

dupyshoo:
Oga 40manlappy, e se gan. May God bless you for this.

To all that have contributed, thank you.

Wish everyone still on the journey quick PPRs.

AMEN

Farefare:
Writting oh! am rewriting next month.

Its well. This time it shall be a complete usable result!

Algbenguze:
I think he's asking about the total expenses to be incurred from scratch and not just settlement funds.

To add to the info above, you will spend an average of N450k-N700k to cover cost of IELTS, ECA, Medicals, PCC, Courier services (before & after PPR), PR Application fee, PR card etc. The exact amount really depends on ur family size, no.of IELTS attempt, PNP vs direct ITA and a few other peculiar factors.
Note: Flight ticket cost not included.

Cheers.

Good analysis

Hephgirl:
click on Cochtrane posts...
U will see where he elaborately the broke down tips

Ok will search his post out asap. Thanks hephgirl
