@trioti & @Ismail85,

Did you eventually attend the chat today? Same address with different coy name (MAG Group, Mac Consult and bla bla bla)

Got scheduled for tomorrow morning but not going.

I can't even recall ever applied to such coy and the text message came to the number I don't use regularly. Not even on my CV.

SMS was BC'ed randomly, most likely...

That's the way to go @Faskey.

It reminds me of waiting endlessly for LASU to release my PT result some years ago. I heard it could take over ten years or more to get it released, with loads of backlogs.

I woke up one midnight, vexing and wrote directly to the VC. VC responded same midnight and the rest na history. That same week, omo my result/ profile was released and even got an official letter from the school signed by the DVC, Academics apologizing for the delay.

Welldone and Congrats @Faskey

Hello All,

Please note that BC just sent a notification to my email for change of written test venue scheduled for tomorrow from Classique Event at Oregun to Anchor Events Place at Agidingbi, Ikeja.

If you are scheduled to write BC written test tomorrow in Lagos, please quickly check your inbox or spam if there's any change of test venue or not.

Kindly take note accordingly.

All the best!

@Sleekchic.

They responded two days after I sent my evidence of payment to their email.....

You can raise bank draft if you are not comfortable with BT.

Your choice....

sleekchic:
Good morning,

Please has anyone paid for IELTS via bank transfer,did they respond to the proof of payment mail on time? Or I should just raise draft jeje and go with it to their office? Please advise.
Thank you

I 'm not a troublesome person so I will tender an apology to those people I have insulted. Yes it is quite annoying when people don't read up and ask questions that have been answered a million times. It doesn't give you the right to be rude. I have seen people direct newbies to page 0 with tact and politely at that. We can all do that. That you have been on nairaland since you were born don't mean you should Lord it over anybody.
That being said I'm sorry to those I have slighted. Let's kiss and make up kiss kiss kiss

@Fayzz

If you eventually get WES to send the package back to you, sure you know it won't be free.

Best bet is to follow up on OOU to resend another one and pay again.

If you use another evaluation body, say ICES....I doubt if you will ever get a refund from WES....

The choice is yours..

Fayzz:
Hello house

Pls I need your opinion. School (OOU) finally sent my transcript to WES but got an email from WES stating that the transcript has been tampered with due to the way it was sealed. And school said they need WES to return the transcript before anything can be done. I've been mailing WES ever since just to get a solution to this to avoid spending that much all over again, but got no response. Don't knw if there is anything I can do? Pls want to know if anybody has been in this situation before and what was done to resolve it and also any advice on what to do to avoid spending almost 80k again. Thanks.

WES usually send verification request to LASU via postal mail and email. LASU in turn confirms verification to WES via email.....

If you ask WES to send another verification via international courier, WES will gladly send you a Payment Request of $96.05 (that's about N28k) and wait for you to pay before sending the new verification request via courier.


tobey2ng:
WES started it categorically in the their verification mail to the applicant to give them and your institution 3 weeks or more before you raise alarm and they promised to resend it afterward. Your friend can request for courier sending of the verification if lasu don't get the mail after second sending from WES.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 2 by billy: 4:11pm On Nov 09, 2017
@Jummolami,

LASU responds to verification request from WES via email. Maybe a small tip to someone at the exams and records will help fast track the confirmation from his dept...but ordinarily it's unnecessary. After the N10k payment teller has been changed to receipt @ Admin Block and its taken to exams and records, max a day after this, your WES profile should change to Accepted.

Keep following up....


jummolami:
Hi,

My hubbys verification is taking forever in LASU. He paid 10k like 2 weeks ago. Nothing has happened. we were able to speak with someone in exam and records and she said its the certificate dept. that is yet to verify his certificate. Do u understand the online system of verification. someone mentioned that/any contact in LASU.

I just want to be free from WES and Nigerian university wahala.

LASU usually confirms WES verification via email....

Kontagious:
Apologies to you both for just responding.

@Newmum, I have no contact but your colleague needs to make a 10k payment. That's probably what's delaying the verification. See below an excerpt from a previous post.

"What needs to be done for lasu applicants; as soon as you get a status change to awaiting verification, proceed to pay N10,000 at Sterling Bank in school - account name and number to pay to is in the banking hall tapped to the writing platform, go convert the bank teller to official receipt at Block 2 Room 11 (note, you'd be asked to write your name and purpose of payment at the back of the bank teller), then take the official receipt to Exams and Record (ICT building), there the receipt will be stapled to your documents sent from WES and verification response subsequently processed."

I don't think so @greatlifeis89. LASU sent my academic result, transcript and verification under one month and it's my first time. All concluded under one month. And I did part-time.

greatlifeis89:
hello,
for first time transcript request in Lasu, it usually take a while. Although not as long as 6 months.

Subsequent transcript request are usually faster. for instance Lasu sent my transcript to wes in less than 3 weeks.

if I may ask, was it a part-time program you did in Lasu?

But most verification officer or whosoever is in charge of responding to WES for verification will be forming as if it's more than just to reply an email.

Begging people to do what they are practically paid to do. O ma se ok.

Thanks @Impish

impish:
My friend's husband had this. I believe he studied at Ife (or was it UI?). Anyway, he went to the school and met a woman. He told her that WES said they had sent the school a mail for verification. She said, "what is your name and arrand wish time?" and he told her when he guessed the mail would have been sent. She looked on a computer, through an inbox, then said, "ah! I have found it!" And then she replied and that was it!

This is what I was told happened. I hope it helps. In summary, I think you may need to pay a visit to the school asap.

All the best!

He should just go solo as single....

Exactly @sleekysilk.

If you're considering saving cost by doing just one of ECA or IELTS for spouse, I'll rather let spouse do IELTS at lesser cost and aim at getting the maximum points of 20 than doing ECA at higher cost with plenty stress of transcript application and the maximum points spouse can get is 10 even with a PhD degree

[quote author=sleekysilk post=60775655]Hi. If you're married, you have 2 options. (i) selecting married and say YES to spouse accompanying and ur spouse may or may not help u get d extra marks u need to beef up ur CRS depending on if u have great points or not.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 2 by billy: 7:26pm On Sep 25, 2017
Dear Hephgirl,

It depends if the spouse is accompanying or not. If the spouse is not accompanying, the PA will be good with great ielts score but score will drop if spouse is accompanying and the spouse does not intend to take ielts and ECA evaluation.

But if the PA can pass the ielts excellently well say LRSW 9999, then spouse ECA & ielts is irrelevant. PA score can be 437 largely dependent on lots of other factors such as age (less or =34), educational level of PA (Masters), max work experience & blablabla.....


Hephgirl:
nope.... It's easier.
Here's d thing once u r married ur scores drop except ur spouse does eca and write ielts....

I can relate to this. As an Alumni of the school, I requested for my transcript to be sent to PG school for MSc admission, paid the full amount of 15k for local delivery and at the end of the day, they didn't deliver it until I had to come physically. Records department and PG school are just a stone throw apart in the same environment.

Sadly enough, I was denied the admission because transcript was missing in my file Senate has already sat and taken decision. It was a really bitter experience that made me resolve never to do any other higher degree in this country.
