@Kontagious
How are you sir? Been a while. Finally submitted application January 16th and got AOR...now in the waiting and praying season...pray along with us o.

Inception12:
Thanks for the detailed reply. I have an insider in the registrars' office who confirmed that no email has been received from WES yet. And she says that many people have complained about the same issue with WES verification emails.

I guess my next step is to use your facebook route and send them nonstop messages and until they check into their system.

WES claims they send physical mail to the school. Am wondering how long that would take to reach the school?

God be praised!
That is the problem with most Naija higher institutions. For physical mail, i don't know if they use DHL or FedEx..if its either it should be there in a week while if it is regular mail that will arrive via NIPOST...that could take a while. Reach out to your contact to give you the school or registrar's office e-mail address for such correspondence then give that to WES..who knows..you may find favour like i did. Pray you do! God bless!

Hello Fam,

Can someone recommend the cheapest courier service for sending document to WES.

NIPOST...but it could take weeks. I used DHL and it was just 5 days or thereabout at about 9k. UPS at about 7,500...best of luck!

Good day house,
Oh wow! so many pages, don't even know where to start from. I am hoping to start my express entry application this week as I am awaiting my IELTS result from 20th Jan. Please advise or point me to the relevant pages. I just need guidance on what to do and how to go about it. I have four continuous years experience in Business Development, I have a BSc and Masters degree. Will really appreciate any guidance please.
Considering the time it might take to verify my Undergraduate degree from Nigeria, is it better to just indicate only my masters degree which was from the UK when filling the form?
Many thanks.

This has been tackled many times brother. Its strongly advised you read te topics bookmarked on page zero of this thread as it will make your life easier. For your verification, use your masters...and being from a school in the UK, you are lucky because verification is much much easier than our schools here. Best of luck!

Holuwarsehun:

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Coincidentally, I just received a mail from WES about the verification.

This is to advise you that photocopies of your documents have been sent to your institution for verification and that your file has been placed on hold until we receive their written response.

I understand that the verification can either be paper based or email based. In this situation, is the verification sent via email or otherwise? I'll like to know so that I'll know who to contact in my school.

Thank you once again.

Praise God!
I was made to understand different schools have different preferred methods. Some use emails while others use hard copy. Try reach out to folks from your school who may have gone through the WES experience before you or reach out to those you know in the school regristrar's office who may be informed. Cheers!

For the ADR I got, I was asked for additional proof of employment for myself employed work. The requested for contract documents, photos, tax returns etc. I was also asked to provide detailed explanation why a certain company was always depositing money into my account. Some few months back, @boss13 wrote extensively here about what documents you should submit before for your proof of employment.. I mocked him, I was asked for those documents exactly has he said it. I am sorry for my actions. Please go through his TL for those documents. London is not a joke. The trauma is intense. I am on different whatsapp group and the agitations are very intense. Try your best to submit those documents. Documents I submitted for my self employed work includes contracts, cac document, lirs tax card, ID cards, call cards, bank statement highlighting payments for the contracts I submitted, screen shots of official emails, practice licence, receipts and invoices

I have been at this journey since 2015. If you go to the first thread, first few pages, you will find me there. It has been a surreal experience but I thank God it ended in praises. I wish you all the best of luck

whoaaaaaa!!!! Congratulations!! Finally!!!
How are you feeling?

Holuwarsehun:

Sorry to bother you, I have a question. Will I see it on my timeline (WES) when verification is sent to my school?

You will receive a mail to that effect..if you do not get a mail, contact them via Twitter, Facebook or whatever means necessary.

@Inception12 the same thing applies to you sir.

Here is my experience

I waited for about two weeks for the school to receive the verification request WES claimed to have sent but got nothing. Then i was able to get the contact of someone on the registrar's office who confirmed nothing like that came for me. He then gave me an email address to give WES to send the request to but WES said they could not do that. I then started mounting pressure on WES via Facebook and i complained bitterly till one of the customer reps said he would look into it and we had to wait hours for facebook message replies but it worked out as he discovered there was a sort of system malfunction that did not allow the verification request reach my school despite showing them tht it went through. This was instantly fixed and i got an email instantly that the verification request has been sent to the school. I called my contact the following day, he logged in and confirmed they'd received it.


1. The main help you need is having someone on ground that can confirm receipt of the verification request
2. There is no instant way to reach WES. Most take time or will not go through. However, facebook worked for me

Cheers!

Inception12:
Hello good people,

How long does the physical mail that WES uses for verification take to reach? The university has denied receiving an email form WES regarding my verification and apparently WES cant disclose the email they sent to due to confidentiality reasons.

I've emailed them to resend it but i got the generic email below:

Your academic records have been sent to the institution for verification by email and mail. The status for these documents will be updated in My Account once their response is received and accepted by WES.

We appreciate your patience in allowing your former institution sufficient time to respond to our request.


I wish i had used IQAs

Link up with the registrar's office in your school or exams and records. They could help you check incoming correspondence to confirm if it has arrived or not. Cheers!

Canadianfly:
Quick advise to the house,

If your score is not that great, I.e. below 440 and your spouse hasn't yet sat for IELTS, I'll recommend you encourage them to give IELTS a shot to improve your score. There are two benefits to this:

1) you stand to gain 20 points from them. Giving you a fighting chance for ITA.
2) saves you money in future when it's time to apply for citizenship as proof of English/French language test is one of the requirements for Canadian citizenship. Good thing is they'll even accept the results even if it has expired. As long as you get above CLB 4/4.5.

So in a way you are winning all round and saving for the future, who know...maybe the price for IELTS then will be $500 as against the N68K you can pay now

If you're single and your CRS is below 440 and you have maxed out IELTS, look in your neighborhood for a local MFM to join.

Just kidding....

Number 2 is motivating. You are really funny with the last comment.

Uzoreen:
Im sure u will get news soonest. Im hoping to also get good news too soon. God's speed!

Yes ma'am! We will rejoice soon!

agates:


Hmm. I received AOR on 13th of January and no update yet too.

Maybe they always travel "home" for the holidays like our igbo brothers do too. May the wait be worthwhile!

Uzoreen:
I received AOR dated 22nd January. Even though i submitted on the 21st and i got the email for AOR like 5mins later. Please who else has AOR for 22nd o. Make we de support ourselves with prayers.

Yes o. Some folks received update in 10 days or thereabout but this one is now day 13 and counting. I however believe i am getting good news latest by Thursday. Stay strong!

Happy Sunday guys. Did anyone receive AOR around January 16th or 17th? Kindly indicate so we can form our own association and compare notes. We hope this wait will be the short type.
Cheers!

Selzsky:
Can you try Nitro software. I remember someone mentioned it here and I noted it down.

Thank you. Its a paid app and the trial i got was misbehaving. I have sorted the issue though.

Thanks again, God bless you!

manlikegb:



@balogunsam, I hope you have sorted this already. If not, you might want to try going to an internet cafe and seek help with their computer guys. Had a similar issue a while back and I had used online compressing sites to reduce to 7.7mb on my own and the sites couldn't reduce further. But the guy used Corel Draw to further help me reduce to 3.98MB.

If you're anywhere near the Computer Village, Ikeja, I can describe the particular cafe I did mine from. Very easy and on the road.

Wish you all the best.

God bless you real good sir. I have resolved it.

Sugaro:
75mb? That's quite alot, what are u really uploading?
Scan your documents to 100dpi that will help in reducing the size, then you Can compress if it's still big

Thanks fpr your response. Its bamk statements mainly o...statement makes 78 pages...adding gift deed and co made a total of 86 pages

Guys please help with this 86 pages of POF to less than 4mb...submission deadline is today...please...slept 5am this morning because of this and still no headway. Need a way to compress to around 85 to 90 DPI

Uzoreen:
You need to reduce the resolution of your camera to as low as 1MP. With this you can scan multiple documents and it just might be under 4mb.

Thats what i did anyways for over 17pages and it was just 3mb.

This totals 86 pages ma'am. Someone also suggested i forget HP scanner and use camscanner on phone

optionese:


Please please and please if the document is blurred do not submit it. How many pages is the document? Why don't you get a letter in the required format instead of statements

Thanks for the help. Document is 86 pages in all. Stanbic did not give the letter in IRCC format is the problem i have and because my account has lots of transactions day in day out, the statement is bulky.

lexxyrule:
70 payoneer available

Thank you for a swift midnight transaction

$200 payoneer needed ASAP. Contact in signature. Thank you.

optionese:


You just have to rescan this documents with a lesser resolution. No way a 14.5mb document can be compressed to 4mb.

Thanks for your input. I successfully compressed it with an online PDF service but the bank statements texts and some other texts got really blurred. If i scan again using a lower DPI, it will end up worse...this is really confusing.

Hi guys. kindly help with compression options for PDF. I have used small PDF to compress my POF docs from 75mb to 14.5mb and ilovepdf and smallpdf says they cannot compress anymore without significant loss of quality.

Please help, what do i do to compress this further to the 4MB or so IRCC accepts.
