Well done dear! It will surely end in praise!

Amen Maami.

Thank you so much.

Congrats. Please I have a question. I will be writing the BCS exam by September and the result will be out by December. I would like to start this WES process so that my NECO and degree can be evaluated as I don't want any delay when I fully kick-start. Do you think its a good idea since the BCS won't be ready yet and can't be evaluated. Can WES evaluate my NECo and degree and do the BCS later?

Hi good afternoon, it depends.
You can go ahead and evaluate your results now and do an upgrade when the BCS is out. The upgrade is 100CAD.
Or you can send your results and add the BCS certificate,send them a mail that it will be ready in December. However, they would not evaluate the rest until all the other documents have been received.

My advice, go ahead and evaluate Bsc with waec, if you have IELTS, enter pool because of tie breaking rule.
From now to December, anything can happen, including a nomination. If not, do an upgrade.

Wes doesn't even take the normal 35 working days again. Plenty applications. You may wanna start on time.

Fellow Canadians Una good morning oo.

So many pages to catch up with. The struggle for two or more certificate no be here.
Exams and project and Co. Last last we go ITA as a reward for the sleepless nights.

Congratulations to all those who got crossed one hurdle or the other. IETLS, ECA, PPR. Wishing you guys the best.

In other news, WAEC is currently away for marking.
I would sincerely advise anyone that intends to use WES and has just NIgerian degree to think twice unless you have HND and it's cost effective for you.

Your WAEC will take anything close to one month or two months if you apply now as they are won't be back until 18th July and at such would have a lot of backlog.

WAEC has the capability of delaying your Wes. I have a lot of peeps with backlogs from June. May even.

Alternatively, if you have NECo please i advise you to use that. Neco has a faster timeline even though they are writing Exams.

Otherwise Choose ICES or CES.

Last last everything will end in praise.

We await an outpour of PPR rain.

Have a great day peepz.

@ladymarshall Maami I dey greet oo.

Boss@topsmamen I've been waiting for your landing gist oo.

Good evening house, pls am about to start my WAEC process to WES. Pls what and what should I do to fast track my transcript from WAEC office and the fee to get it done. Pls can someone throw more light on it.
I will appreciate a speedy response.

Collineno:
Hello guys I have one important question to ask.
I am trying to verify my academic credential using WES but I was told I must include my WAEC certificate.
I already have a Bachelors degree and currently completing a Master's degree. I read previous post and fund out that some people only verified their bachelors degree. But it keeps poping up automatically on WES website that WAEC or NECO must be verified first.
Is it compulsory to provide my WAEC certificate to WES before my Bachelor's degree can be verified?
Has anyone successfully gone through this hurdle recently and succeeded?

Unfortunately yes. If your MSC is foreign, flu can skip the Waec Neco part.
Otherwise, it's compulsory. Or better still, use ICES.

Narkoya:
Ladies and Gents... come ohhh!
Application has been approved.


Long story short, logged into my CIC account for my daily check and saw application updated, prayer again! A final decision has been made, double prayer!! APPLICATION APPROVED!!! Allahu Akbar. Took a screenshot and sent to hubby.

Started sending supplications to God to thank him. God bless y'all. You really helped to preserve my sanity. Looking forward to getting our passports back. Need to start packing and selling stuff off

Congratulations to you and yours!

Didibibi:
Good evening people of God,
I need help with this knotty issue. How do you tackle Wes if they update a profile without actually receiving any document? My clients waec has been requested for and I can confirm it has not been sent, but Wes updated the profile with Waec result and scratch card not accepted

Are you sure either you or weac didn't misplace the Reference number. Could be a careless error.
Send a message to Wes and ask if they received any document with that reference number.

Ifeoma77:
Hello from the other side

Happy landing Shekere mama!

We await the gist.

I was thinking @topsmamen go be your fellow landee

Chai, been a few days away.

Congrats to all IELTS smashers, ITA grabbers, Completed ECAs. Every other new level achieved.

Just wanted to address some few things, as i get a lot of calls. I am not a waec staff, I just have tiny mosquito leg inside.

WAEC had a backlog due to exams. The whole of May applications were barely touched just the few lucky ones.

Currently, late Aprils and Mays are being completed. You should start getting your tracking numbers by next week. Unfortunately, 1999 and below may be excluded as they are not online ie pre 2000. They are trying to push out the 2000s and then focus on the 1990s.

I can assure you they are all working on your applications although they will be leaving in two weeks time again for marking. Slight delay.

Neco is currently having their exams but havent stopped collecting applications. It is rather slower than before. Any contact in minna should sort it out for you.

Finally, this journey will teach you patience. My transcript from my school took eight months to get to Wes. But we still here.
Just chill, pray if you believe in prayers and buy patiencylin tablets.
Las las, we go all enter canada.

May the new week bring an outpour of PPRs.
Have a great week.

Mariesio:
Mine is since 5th Apr, the reason I was given was that it's pre 1996 so is not online but in their store. The people that did same time with me has theirs already sent

Unfortunately yes. 1999 below is not online and so they have to do it manually. For now they are trying to sort out the 2000 and above to push out the volumnious applications as the backlogs are too many.

Also the staff handling yours may not want to go and start digging for 1996.

Sha go and lay a complaint if you havent.

WisemasterBizWd:
Hello e-fam. Pls my waec verification process is now 5weeks and WES haven't receive my documents. Pls is this a normal thing because am really worried. Help a frd.

Waec had a backlog. As at yesterday, a lot of April and early May are being completed with exceptions to 1999 and below. By next week, you should start getting tracking numbers.
June applicants will chill anyway.

I have completed the WES of a thing and try to make payment with my Mastercard, it was completed and was asked to wait for 15mins for my status to update. It almost 30 mins now, no update yet from them and there is no sign if the money haave been deducted

Wes will update soon. Keep refreshing your account.

Your bank may take some houra or aometimes forty-eight hours to debit the naira equivalent assuming you paid with debit card.
Give them time.

careerwoman:
Very valid point.
I’m not an authority on writing matters but I think Joromi 12 is right.

Writing does require a lot of attention and practice. The tone must be formal except when writing informal letters. Some words aren't acceptable in formal writing. Jay E2 has a YouTube on this.

Paraphrasing is also very necessary. You can’t use the same words in the question over and over again. My essay topic was about Violence among young people being caused by parents spending long hours at work. While writing my introduction, I used Juvenile Delinquency to replace Violence among young people. In another paragraph, when I needed to make reference to it I used delinquent youths. Instead of salary, I used remuneration. I used different synonyms for the same word/phrase.

Then, paragraph structure is crucial.. Your thought process must flow. Put yourself in the reader’s shoes. You don’t want to read a disjointed essay. Prepare your ideas on the question paper first before you start writing. That way, you can decide which idea should come before the other. In each paragraph, the first sentence should introduce your idea starting with a linking phrase like Firstly, In addition, Furthermore etc.
2nd&3rd sentence should explain the idea (what,how,why) you can use examples for this. Phrases like, For instance, For example etc. The examples don’t have to be true, be creative. In my essay, I created a story about a research by an American Child Psychologist, John S. (I don’t know any John S. sef) and what he findings were to support my idea. The psychologist and his research were created in my head that day.
3rd/4th sentence should conclude the idea or show what the idea leads to. Phrases like, “As a result” can be used here.

I don’t want to derail the thread too much; my suggestion to IELTS takers, read ielts made easy pdf cover to cover if you can and watch Jays tips on YouTube. There’s a Cambridge book that has a range of vocabularies for the different sections from which essays are created and sample Band 9 essays. (I can’t remember the name and my laptop isn’t with me atm. Unfortunately, the materials aren’t on my phone). Ask for help from people around you. I understand we don’t want people knowing our plans but sometimes being too secretive does more harm than good. I got materials from my colleagues taking PLAB etc.
If I had kept my plans to myself, maybe I wouldn’t have gotten all their ideas, tips and materials.

Finally, may we obtain all our good heart desires.
God bless..

IETLS is a game of synonyms. Both reading o, writing, listening. Speaking too. Of course amongst other requirements.

It will end in praise for us all.

Good evening guys.
Please who knows the process of sending documentations to.WES via fax.
I need clarifications on how to go about it and the price

Likewise for the WASSCE evaluation, do I need to still request that WAEC sends statement of results when WES requested for result checking card?

Thank you.

Go to the search bar, type 'WES FAX' all the info on it will pop up!

Waec will send transcript alongside the result checker.
Yes, you will request that they send your transcript to wes.

Gud moni my people, am filling my WES application form, I just want to confirm if I will fill my WAEC details as my HND and ND in the information box . Thanks

No you wont have to, it automatically pops up as part of the final requirements.

I'm dedicating this PPR to God and our friend who was also on this journey but lost his life in a ghastly motor accident. He died on the spot, the day his IELTS result was released (October 12) and he was yet to check the result.

Thank God for his sufficient grace. We're moving to Edmonton, Alberta.

Congratulations ma'am!!

Wow at the bolded.
A good way to take your mind off pressure.. I like!!

Daybour1:
I would be the most ungrateful being if I didn't share my story here. This is not PPR (at least not yet), but I just conquered IELTS on the 10th attempt, still awaiting result of the 11th and a remark of my 9th. First of all, my ultimate gratitude goes to God Almighty for giving me the resilience to fight though these trying times.

My first IELTS test was April 21 2018, and I wrote back to back on a monthly basis until 23rd May 2019 (the game changer). Months I didn't write, I was hoping for a positive EOR, none ever came back changed. Allow me to state that, the 6.5 in writing was my major hurdle. I have sought help tirelessly on this thread but it was the same story. I eventually stopped practicing for other components again because I knew all the questions and answers in my head already, I mean, after studying almost every day of your life for over 12 months, there was nothing new to learn.

To be brief, my last resort was to contact @JohnnyBravo just 3 days to the test of 23rd May. I ensured I unlearned everything I had learnt about writing and strictly followed his teachings. I'm sincerely grateful to you for your attention and professionalism, God bless you endlessly. For all who are still stuck with writing, please let him guide you. Thank you again bro.

In conclusion, (sorry o but after taking the writing test for over 12 months, my writing has been structured into 4 BPs) while it is not easy, I'd like to encourage anyone struggling with any aspect of this journey not to give up. There's joy in knowing you eventually conquered. I'm positioned for an ITA in the coming draws and may The Good Lord make the rest of the journey smooth for us. Amen.

Such resilience!! Super proud of you. Congratulations!!
May PPR be most speedy for you!

Imsu has still not given me my certificate since March last year, in fact, someone had the guts to tell me that it got missing in the VC's office. I have a contact for transcript and verification but not for certificate collection.
