Dear All,

Please i have a question, would it matter if First degree was 2 years (300 level and 400 level). I have the folllowing

- First Degree in Accounting from Babcock Univeristy but 2 years

- ICAN Certificate

- ATS Certificate

What do you think about evaluation of these documents please and how do i go about the WES evaluation, i am clueless about it.

How did u achieve the bolded. The requirement for claiming "2 more or cert" is that one of the cert must be at least 3 years-
Anyway WES has the final say here- ur ECA report will tell u if u can claim 2 or more cert. WES might still evaluate ur BSC accounting as 3 years - just start the process here-www.wes.org and hope for the best.

OlakunmiSMELTD:
Thank you for the indepth

To explain better .
Ontario documents was
1. Msc
2. 6 years working experience IT
3. IETLS 8.0
4. My cousin ( son to my father's elder brother) who have permanent resident in Canada

Which gives me 467 point, and that's why they invited me to apply and pay 1500CAD.

To really understand ur point - When completing EE profile- did u select cousin and did u have point awarded for cousin "which I doubt". You will only be awarded point if you had selected him as a brother. If this is the case - he is not your brother he is ur cousin - then your 467 is wrong from the beginning.

You only received nomination from Ontario based on the information you have on EE profile and if the infor is wrong - then I am not sure if u can proceed.

I know it is really hard now getting nomination - but it is better to do it right.

Goodevening house, please I need help and advice. What is the implication of having three names on certificate and having just two on passport( first and last name )?

My opinion, there is no issue if the names are actually urs. You can do a letter of explanation to address it or sworn an affidavit of "one same person" see copy on page 1

The main thing is your name as it is written on your passport should be used for your application.

Mmamaroon:
LOEs are a God-send.....just attach a two line LOE stating you decided to convert to foreign currency because of volatility of the Naira.....you may include the Naira statement to show you had the money previously if you like. If the DOM account is in the same bank where your Naira account is, great! Their bank ref letter can indicate you have been a client since 19XX!

_{If you are a serious efiko that likes plenty wahala you can include bureau de change receipt of FX conversion and chart of naira versus CAD rates to buttress your point about how yama yama our money has been over x years!}

Thanks so much. well noted.

Igethope:
Omo, this thing was just 298 last week . 309 ?

I think it’s better for everybody to increase his or POF if it’s in naira o

Do you think if some one decides to open a dorm account now because of the fluctuation in rate, will there be an issue given that the account will be new one say "few weeks old" before submission of application.

Please seniors advise- can a dorm account opened within two weeks to submission be for POF bank reference.
Hope the date of opening the account wont cause any problem.

Cheerfulmum:
Hello People,

I've been stuck in payment method and I'm getting frustrated. My application has been ready for submission over a week ago and till now I can't get seem to arrive to a viable way of paying. would have been very easy with Mater card but won't fly cos of the limit restriction. On the other hand, people are using Flutterwave by barter but their dollar rate is high at 480 for my budget of family of 2 (2,820 cad). Called one or two people I know abroad to help they said that their credit limit is low. I don't have a dollar card either. Make I rant before my head will burst.

If u have not sort this out - u can reach out if u have not

Deolaw:
I so much appreciate your response.
1. I'm 31 yrs old. I have spent quite a lengthy number of years in a few jobs but I have spent 2 years+

You both have good chance. Continue to read page 1, get a note and put down points as u learn- let me help u small:

Estimate what ur score will be- u could be on 472 if u max out ielts as Principal applicant and wife also max out.

Ur wife has a good age to be the principal applicant but with only bsc, score will be very low. She needs additional cert, does she have nce, or nd or ATS. She can go for additional cert to increase her chance of acting as PA - check page 1 for sample of short courses.

It depends though, both of u should start the process fast, score is dropping hopefully it will remain.

You need to evaluate ur credentials-
Write ielts

I won't mind if I can be directed to a post that will simplify everything to me. Please help as I am so determined.

Thank you

Welcome - you are not late
How old are u, how many years of work experience, how old is your wife, what is ur wife highest qualification ( qualifications), years of experience of wife.
You need to write ielts General training, and max out all score in all sections LWRS -say 8 8 8 8 ( as example).

You need to estimate ur score and see what is ur chance like. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

The soonest appointment is 13th January, 2021

Please how did you reach out to Qlife- email or phone call,

korodejvo:
wow 15 weeks. but IQAS timeline is just as long if not longer. if they don't accept paper transcript does this mean I'll have to get my uni to email them my official transcript instead? and pls how much did your cousin pay? 210 or 311? lastly, was it a law degree your cousin evaluated? Thank you

He paid $210, we used a Canadian address for delivery. You dont even need hard copy because after the completion of the evaluation they will send u ectopy to download. You can use someone address who is living in canada already.
I cant remember if that was what made the cost to be $210 though.

They have the email address on the website- check it

He evaluated a master degree.

Soraco57:
Good evening, I have a bachelor's degree in accounting, professional certificate in management studies of Nigerian institute of Management, am 31, I have worked in the real estate for 5 years as a real estate agent and property consultant, do I have any chance , my wife is hnd holder in food technology , do I have any chance at all?
Thanks

How old is your wife - you might get higher score if she is below 30 and max ielts. Use the crs calculator link below and put in figures urself to see how ur score play around. Alternate between you and wife as the PA.

phabulous88:
Could you please confirm if your cousin uploaded a copy of her transcript when she applied, in addition to her degree certificate?

Yes. He did.

korodejvo:
I've been trying to pay with IQAS for over a week now with no success. It keeps on saying daily limit exceeded. I actually dk how long CES takes but I saw a 7 to 9 week timeline when I checked (if this is inaccurate please tell me). I'm trying to evaluate an LLB so when I saw that @Ebuncrown was able to get a professional degree with them and IQAS wasn't forthcoming I decided to give it a shot

Hmm, CES took 15 weeks for my cousin ( u can check my previous post) . There is notification on their website now that they have stopped accepting paper transcript due to covid restriction. My cousin submitted e-transcript though. So if you know that u have more time to yourself, I would say go for CES- just hope for between 15-20 weeks after your e-trancript is received.

Please Go through their recent communications for perfect guidance.
all the best.

korodejvo:
I'm currently trying to start an application on CES here but its showing me a bill of 311 CAD instead of 210 because of an extra delivery cost which is marked as compulsory. How did you cross that bridge pls

if I may ask why CES - the time line is not smiling except you don't have option

temibanks:
It got even worse, I got a message saying, I'm ineligible. I can't even edit, or update. all fields are greyed out.

Even showing my CRS as zero.

sorry about that, I only advised based on experience. I did that few days ago for my cousin when it stayed on processing transmission for almost 8 hours- I reported technical issue and it was immediately resolved.

Hope u were able to create another though.

temibanks:
Omo! It's draw tomorrow, and my EE profile is showing "Processing Update" since morning.

Any Idea what I can do?

You can report technical problem, if the error still persist

horlorbah:
I used 3 NOCs for the 3 years experience and 13000CAD for the POF

Please can I create a new profile inside the same GC key?

use the exact 12960 as pof. check ur NOC, u can create a new one within same GC key. goodluck

NaijaGoingMaple:
The golden email visited us yesterday. It's PPR and we're grateful for the faithfulness of our God who's made this possible.

On this journey, every opportunity is golden, don’t procrastinate. For instance, if we had taken another IELTS to improve our scores and possibly max out on all; we’d have gotten the surprise ITA of 437 in January 2019. Since getting an ITA directly under the Federal Skill Workers stream was out of our reach given our ages, we started learning French by 3rd quarter of 2018 as that was the only option aside provincial nomination. The latter (Provincial nomination: Self-employed, tailoring NOC) that got us the ITA, and the rest they say is history.
!

Hi, please can u explain this part well- did u get Prov nomination with tailor as experience -
I also sent you PM.

A LESSON TO LEARN

Let's do all we can to perfect our applications pls

Copied from canadavisa ��

Long read.

But bear with me
AOR Sep 7, 2018. FSW-O, Nigerian Citizen and Resident. Family of 2 (or so I thought). I am the Primary Applicant
PPR:Mar 26, 2019, Visa&COPR: Apr 26, 2019
So with the above in ind, wifey and I set about quitting our jobs, selling off our remaining assets, running down the lease, As an accountant, I already started the process of getting my CPA. Apart from the obvious physical stuff, there was also the mental side of getting ready to move to a foreign country. We set a travel date of Jun 20, 2019. Just for kicks, we splurged on Business Class tickets for the one-way trip (twas EgyptAir- still cheaper than economy class of other airlines).
Touchdown in YYZ on Jun 21,2019.

At this point you are wondering, isn't this the normal landing gist we dey usually read �


After the CBSA officer questions my wife about family composition, she says she cannot land us. Because my wife says she has a 10 year old daughter but the CBSA officer says she cannot find her in the application. We vehemently argue that my wife's daughter is on the application and she should check the system carefully. After a few hours, the CBSA officer allows us into Canada but landing is not completed as she holds on to our passports and asks us to return to the airport on Jul 5, 2019. At this point, we were still unclear as to what we had done wrong.
In the intervening period, and after contacting IRCC, I found out that the mistake is indeed mine. While it was indeed true that while we listed my wife's daughter in the family section of my wife, I did not list her IN the application as my stepdaughter so she didn't go through admissibility tests. The error was mine but I am slightly upset that this is something that should have been caught and addressed by the IRCC when reviewing the application. not really making any excuses, but it never did occur to me that I had a stepdaughter when filling the forms. With benefit of hindsight, when we received the COPR and my wife's COPR did not at least have a dependant listed, it should have triggered something I saw that but I thought that well the IRCC had gone through everything and if there was a problem they would let me know.
Back to the timeline,
Jul 3, 2019: IRCC sends me a letter to include my step daughter in the application. Forms, birth certificate and international passport. We have 30 days to provide the information.
Jul 5, 2019: we return to the airport for the CBSA interview where she informs us that our visas had been cancelled without prejudice and we were to leave Canada immediately (Voluntarily though). Somehow, we were lucky because all the flights were booked and we were able to get our things to leave on July 8
Jul 10, 2019: We return to Lagos, Nigeria after a 2 day journey. Later that night, I get a Procedural Fairness Letter to provide the same information in the letter of July 3. This time, only 7 days was given as the deadline. Not sure why I received this.
Jul 15, 2019: Submit the information required. If there was any delay, it was because we had to get an International Passport for my stepdaughter.
Jul 16, 2019: Receive Medical form for my stepdaughter. Profile updated we are now a family of 3, Stepdaughter is non-accompanying.
Jul 21, 2019: Stepdaughter Medical Passed
Silence afterwards
Aug 9, 2019: Our (My wife and I) medicals expire
More silence.
Aug 20, 2019: Office of Ralph Goodale assists in confirming status " ...As before, eligibility, criminality, and security checks are passed. Medicals are expired. The response to the Procedural Fairness letter is awaiting review. Timelines are not available."
Today: still waiting

Side note: Returning to Nigeria now means that we have no jobs, no place of our own to live, no car etc. I moved our POF funds to Canada in anticipation of the "once in a lifetime" move and to get the money back, another story. It should be easy to reintegrate back to a country where I have lived almost all my life but It does not necessarily happen to be the case. Trying to get a temporary job is a nightmare. The irony is that my wife is now expecting "our kid". Chances that a new medical will be required is high and with Xrays and stuff, who knows how long this will take.

Not sure why I am sharing this here, maybe it's therapeutic. Lessons have been learnt. Just hoping for this to end.

Stevewonder:
Good evening all,

Please I'm asking this for my fiancee. She passed IELTS already and her ECA has been ready for months. She wants to create profile now but someone says she needs NOC before she can create a profile even after IELTS and ECA. Please all, how true is this?

Very true. She needs to pick NOC that fits to her job experience. This is very key. NOC cant fall under NOC C. She will need that information while creating the profile.

I will suggest this, kindly take your time to read through cic.gc.ca. That should be your main source of information. If you are not clear on it, go to page 1 - there are plenty resources in there already.

Use the search button to clear doubts- plenty people have asked these questions before and answers were provided.

Please read and understand the process so you will not be misguided. There might be draw next week - so fiancée should create profile as soon as possible to take advantage if score is high enough.

Good luck.

Betterlife2018:
I really need a candid advice at this point. A friend is currently using CES for the evaluation of his master degree. He passed his IELTS yesterday with CRS at 478.
CES has been very slow due to covid. He is currently on stage 2 of the evaluation and this will go through 6 stages in total. His transcript ( OAU) was acknowledged received Aug 27th 2020.
He is thinking of switching to WES because of CES slow processing time and also uncertainty with CRS cut off these days.
He is so confused on what to do. Please has anyone use CES recently- please share experience
Do you advise he start all over with WES, has any one processed OAU transcript recently, any candid ideas or suggestion is welcomed.

Thanks my people.

Just to celebrate a win on behalf of a friend;

ECA ready today @ 15 weeks processing time-
Electronic Transcript delivered to CES Aug 27, 2020
ECA electronic copy received today Dec 3,2020

He started WES evaluation already as back up ( though not paid for)

CRS sitting at 478

Thanks @Mmararoon , @Ebuncrown for the motivation.

Hi everyone, I know this group is not for ACCA. I am actually losing patience with British council. ACCA F2 and F3 registration is now so difficult with BC. Please I need information if anyone is going through that process or know someone that just recently register for the exam. Please if u can refer me to any group to ask, kindly help.

Sent payment and registration form to BC for over 1 week and just got the response below:

Thanks for your mail.

Your email has been forwarded to my colleagues, however do note that we are yet to commence the ACCA on demand.

We are looking into commencing soon, the exact date and time is still unknown.

However, my colleague in charge of this will send you a mail as soon as this commences to notify you about the necessary information needed before the test.

This is really frustrating, they are not picking calls, took over 1 week to get the above response after sending payment. Please I need help

hairbyuj:


I sincerely appreciate your kind response.

Is it advisable to proceed with WES while I write my IELT Exams?

Yes. The best idea ever.

elmoduddah:
Sorry about the inconvenience. For records sake, please send a DM to the ACCA Instagram account and you will get a positive response in minutes: @accanigeria

Thanks. I did that. Hoping to get this resolved

elmoduddah:
By the way, I see a lot of people mentioning ACCA here. If you want to make any enquiry or have any complaint or issue and need to contact the ACCA Nigeria office, kindly let me know and I’ll ensure you are sorted out.
My own little way of helping on the thread

Can you help with exam registration. No response from BC for over 4 days now. payment confirmation already sent and form completed. It is really annoying. It is F2 and F3 CBE exam, BC handles the exam.

55emem55:
Hi guys, so I recently passed my ACCA exams F1-F3. The journey of 2 or more certificates has officially come to an end. I Self Studied for 2 months With ACCA Approved Textbooks and workbooks and they helped a whole lot. If you're in Lagos, PM me and I can give you the textbooks/workbooks for a token (I bought them and they were quite expensive). Let me know.

Hi, Please I need help on something. How did you register for your ACCA exam. BC has not been helpful this time. My sister did a draft for her exam, she went to the office and was told they are no more receiving draft payment, that it is now online transfer. She made transfer and sent completed form to BC with proof of payment. It is over 3 days and no feedback from BC. They are not picking calls as well.
It is so annoying

is it normal? exam schedule is next week, is that how they behave. Please any infor or help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Jacknn:
Please for me that have bsc and one,and want to use dem to claim points. I already have my bsc transcript at hand with me,but for ond do I also need to have it at hand or I just need go to the poly and request de send it to wes,and do I need the original result for the ond or the statement of result can suffice. As I have only statement of result for my ond??

I can see you have many questions still to ask. Do you know u can use the search button up there to get immediate and fast response to ur questions. It will open you to many answers and feedback.

Note the following : You can only send transcript urself to WES if it meets specification by WES, hence your school need to send transcript to wes directly and address it to them. Check wes website for detail of requirement

Same applies to your OND transcript

Statement of result can be used in lieu of certificate.

Good luck.

smartkester:
having 474 points would imply how many years of work experience?
I'm just curious to know how many years of work experience would land me on 474 CRS if I ace IELTS, under 30 years of age, and single. It seems I have been calculating wrongly, I did my simulation with just 1 year NYsC experience and it landed me on 399 CRS.

3 years
