Good morning everyone, i just got my ielts result (first attempt) may 23
LRWS 87.577.5


Please I need your help....my NOC IS 4011 because I am a university lecturer but my husnand js a polythecnic lecturer, Can he also claim the same NOC. .....wes hasn't sent our evaluation yet, so I would wait because scores with siblings point and without hubby's ielts is 470.....

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.
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.

johnnybravo1990:
I have a couple of question for seniors in the house. I got an update, and in my application status, Background Check changed from ‘We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information’, which it has always been from AOR, to ‘Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check’. This looks like my application process is going backward instead of progressing.

1. Should I be worried? AOR was in March; I passed medical exam on 3rd March and completed biometrics on 6th March 2019.

2. What stage of application am I—Ip1 or Ip2?

Current application status is as seen below.

It's been a long while I have been here. Decided to share my PPR story even though I didn't get it through express entry.

May 2017- Wrote IELTS for the first time and passed. (Just expired last week).

July 2017 - Got the result of my ECA assessment from WES.

July 2017 - Dived into the pool with a total score of 466.

August 2 2017 - Got an ITA as lowest CRS was 441.

August 9 2017- CRS was 433.

After due consultation on this forum, I realised I had wrongly put a certification that I had not assessed with my ECA. I was advised to remove the certification and revert to my 433 scores since it would be sufficient to get an ITA since the last draw on August 9 was 433.

August 23 2017- CRS was 434

September 6 2017- CRS was 435

September 14 2017- Celebrated my birthday and lost 6 points. My CRS dropped to 427

September 20 2017 - CRS was 433.

The rest as they say is history. CRS never dropped again to levels achieved in 2017.

I was sad, cursed my luck and was unhappy. I continued with my masters program in Unilag, hoping to finish by the end of 2018 so that I could get the extra 40 marks for masters. As I type this, while I am done with my course work, I'm yet to defend my project, talk less of results or certificate.

January 2019 - I got married to my girlfriend who was a PR.

January 2019 - I got a new job.

February 27 2019 - Submitted my sponsorship application (Average time of processing is one year)

March 2019- I did my biometrics.

May 16 2019- I got an e-mail that I was eligible for pre-arrival services.

May 16 2019- I got another e-mail to go and do my medicals. I was so excited about this that I was bubbling up and down. People usually do medicals 6 months or more after the application has been submitted.

May 16 2019- I got yet another e-mail from Accra Immigration notifying me that my Visa was ready. So is my COPR. I had just gotten the PPR email. I was behind myself with so much joy and I still can't believe it. But God did it.

I share this to encourage someone. Be patient, keep at it and God would bring your own testimony for you.

I couldn't keep up with the thread from Part 3 because my situation wasn't changing. I am pretty sure that people we started together then are well settled in Canada now. But I am just so glad that God showed up for me this way. It's only him!

Oopsy:
Good day people, has anyone seen or heard of a Ph.D holder who has successfully done ECA? If yes, which institution was used and what documents can one send? Cos I learnt there are no transcript as there is no exam, just research work... and then the certificate.

Any one with any info on this should assist urgently.
Thanks.

Daybour1:
Good morning guys.

I wrote CDT ielts test in Ibadan on the 10th of May. The result should have been online since 17th May and up till now results are not yet available. If this issue happened with paper based, I probably wouldn't be this worried.

Please advise what to do. Thanks.

Simply click on ''continue''

Well, i did. It says continue to canada government home. It keeps taking me back and forth.

slushy:
Hello house. Please I have some questions.

1. Which certificate is more acceptable and will increase points. PRince 2 (IT) or PMP or a certificate from LBS.

2. If any of these is acceptable, do I have to evaluate them too? Also if I need to evaluate will ICAS or IQAS assist with the evaluation?

Thank you all for your help

Reading: 7.5
Writing: 7.0

LISTENING: practiced only Cambridge 9-13 Ebooks until I was comfortable.

WRITING: Watched all Jay's E2 videos on different types of essays and letters. I wrote only one letter during my practice. I never had time to practice the Essay.

READING: watched Liz videos on TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN. Practiced only two full reading from Cambridge 13 book.

Good luck and best wishes guys!

Chynwey:
I slept well knowing that I had fulfilled all righteousness. @johnnybravo1990, there is really no harm in trying. Kindly do the needful

On another note, I was refunded the sum of N1665.30(by CIC) about a week after my application was submitted. Other than a credit alert, no explanation was given. Has anyone experienced this? Could there be an explanation for this?

Another thing is I submitted a generic letter of introduction from my bank, a certificate of treasury bills and a letter of non-indebtedness from my bank. I didn't submit any statement of account. Should I be worried?

Can someone also assist in adding me to the February ITA group

Once again, please you guys should help a confused me

ladymarshall:
Seniors, please which comes first? R10 completeness check or MEP/BIL? If for instance, I did not submit the correct police certiificate, will I be rejected early on or months after MEP/BIL?

johnnybravo1990:
I beg to disagree. I don’t think that could be the reason for the person’s rejection. Clarify if the person imputed their ECA number correctly. There is a column somewhere in the application where we are to put down our ECA report number. Or are you saying the ECA number we wrote does not count? Please don’t give people unnecessary anxiety. I uploaded only degree certificate, and I am not going to panic, because the instruction for uploading document for education clearly said ‘degrees/diplomas’, and not ’degrees/diplomas + ECA certificate’. The ECA number we put should take care of the ECA. However you can also upload ECA certificate if you wish.

pejuhazel:
I just received the 5 ADR's from Accra, my problem now is that my salary was paid in cash and it is stated in my pay slip. What can I do about the request for the bank statement showing salary deposits?
Also, I can't remember the exact dates I filled in the personal history section for my past addresses, will this affect our application negatively?

joo2018:
Since it is stated in your payslip, I think you are ok. On a side note, don't you deposit in your account after receiving in cash?

Hmm. If it is just a few days difference, I don't think it will matter.
