When I applied online for LASU transcript which costs N20,557 including courier service, I called someone that works in exams and records if I need to bring any printout of my payment confirmation, she replied negative.

They can easily print out from their end without any stress. Infact, you will receive an automated mail from LASU after payment confirmation.

I understand different staff are assigned to each department to process transcript for applicants

redocean:
I got my transcript from LASU sent to WES and further verification done without much stress but that required some follow up from exams and records. Moreover, after applying online, you need to submit a hard copy at LASU. You can contact me directly for a link if interested. email: tonike_101@yahoo.com

All the best.

Dear Friends,

Please find below two years trend of past CRS scores and no of invitations issued. It might interest you that the lowest so far in the last two years (August 2015 to August 2017) is 415 which occurred twice on the 19th April 2017 & 17th May 2017.

Trust this helps....and hope it will be heading south when I enter the pool...My ECA evaluation in progress and IELTS exam scheduled for September 30th 2017.

All the best to everyone!

It would have been easier if you had informed your school to include your statement of result or certificate before they sent the transcript to WES.

Your statement of result or certificate is also required by WES for evaluation.

What I did was to scan my statement of result to a friend in Canada and he sent it locally to WES last week Thursday 17th Aug and WES acknowledged receipt on Wednesday. Though my transcripts are still being expected from my schools (OND & B.SC)

It will end well.

lovetree:
Hi, I graduated from UNILORIN. I collected it last year though when the exchange rate was still 160naira to 1 USD. It cost N2,500 for the transcript and N13,500 for courier services to WES. The transcripts were sent about a week after request and The verification was done in less than 2 weeks I believe.

The whole process took about 6 weeks from transcript request to ECA completion.




Hi feygbe, thanks for your prompt response ....Pls can someone help me with it or do I have to be there? I understand i have to send my statement of result to WAS as well right? Or willbthe rranscript alone be ok? And will the school send the transcript to WES directly? So I just pay for the transcript and the courier service . Thank you for your response. Really appreciate I'm
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by billy: 3:40pm On Aug 18, 2017
The $233.91 CAD is just for WES evaluation fee. You have got to sort out courier service with your school. It's not inclusive in the WES evaluation fee


cochtrane:
Does the 233.91CAD include sending the assessment via international courier?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by billy: 3:34pm On Aug 18, 2017
I applied to my schools to send my transcript & result (ND & B.SC) to WES.... Meanwhile, I have a friend in Canada so I just sent a scanned copy of notification of results to him so he can post locally to WES cos I don't have my certificate yet...

He posted it to WES yesterday and I await an update from WES next week. I'm aware WES will still wait for my transcript from my school..


ITABABE:
. I successfully used my statement of result for WES. I requested my school to send my tanscript as per normal

Do some binding and casting out....Perhaps, powers that be don't want you to move ahead....lol.

But can you start all over with the profile creation using another system?

Let's see how it goes

kissoflife:
Yes I do. I have over two yrs experience but I have decided to put only one year for ease of reference letter.

I have actually tried both one year and two years experience but still the profile ineligible problem.

I am certain I meet the requirements, I just don't understand what I am doing wrong.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by billy: 7:47am On Aug 16, 2017
Yes, I paid using my GTB Naira MasterCard. I was charged N71,092 on the 7th August 2017...

sleekysilk:
Yes you can.

@bicmitchum,

How did you finally resolve this?

Kindly share

bicmitchum:
Thanks. I called the contact in my school's record office today. She said they did receive a paper mail, but the sent the verification by email. She claims that's how they have always done it. You think WES is not acknowledging their email and wants a paper reply instead?
TravelRe: General Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa Through Skilled Migration. by billy:
Thanks a lot Osazeej.

I sent a mail to "exams.nigeria@ng.britishcouncil.org" about the issue and it was corrected two days after my mail.

In for the exam scheduled for 30th Sept 2017....


osazeej:
Hi Billy,

Don't stress it. You may go ahead to make payment. I had similar experience and British Council recognize the potential for first timers to write only the first name as their given name consistent with the format of the application form. You will have at least two opportunities to correct it namely at the speaking test day and on the written test day. You will be given an admnendment form to fill before your test on day 1. The amendment would have been implemented by the time you show up for test day 2. In the event that the speaking and written tests are on successive days thus making it difficult to implement an amendment submitted at the first test day, you will be given an admnendment form at the end of the test day 2.

Just focus on preparing for the test. All the best!

HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!

Please while registering for IELTS with British Council, where I am supposed to input "given names", I input only one name instead of two as it appears in my int'l passport and I have submitted the application. Gotten an acknowledgment and I was addressed as Dear Mr Sunday Tayo instead of "Dear Mr Sunday Wale Tayo" (names not real though).

Can I still go ahead and make payment? So all the names British Council has is just my surname & first name but the name in my int'l passport under "given names" are two names.

Am I safe to make payment? Hope it won't affect me in any ways in the future on EE platform? What can I do?

Please advise me so I can make payment for IELTS or otherwise?

Thank you all

Well done to all the gurus in the house. Nairaland is an addiction.

Pls, i need advice and input from all.
Situations:
EA Assessment is done: Engineering Technologist
IELTS first attempt: l/s/r/w 8, 8.5,85,7
IELTS second attempt: l/s/r/w 8.5,8.5,8.5,7.5
IELTS third attempt: booked awaiting result
PTE: no available date in Melbourne till sept
Points acquired now: Age 25 + BEng 15 English 10 points
We are still aiming for the 20 points so we can apply for 189 and 190
Now my question I have Electrical & Electronics HND, ND, City and Guilds certificate, can I go through the TRA route.
1) Why the TRA route because Engineering Technologist now is Pro Rata. For occupations e.g Electrical Engineering Technician, Electrician (General) in TRA with 60 there are still more chances, what do you advise?
2) When applying for TRA we will leave out the BENG certificate I want to know if it won't be a problem when nomination comes or when we need to apply for the visa because already our details are on dibp website already because we are here on a student visa.

Thanks a lot @Calfy

calfy:
I will advise you not to use any agent. You can do it yourself.

The first step is to do your ECA (Education Credential Assessment). If you have a degree in Law and that's your highest qualification, then do your ECA with IQAS. In this case only evaluate your degree, no need to do the law school as well. IQAS evaluates law degree from Nigeria as a professional degree while other evaluating bodies don't. If your degree is not law then use WES. From my experience, WES is faster.

While your evaluation is going on, you can prepare for and take IELTS. Aim for a score of 8, 7, 7, 7 or better in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

When you have your ECA and IELTS result, create your EE profile and hope for the best.

Good day Gurus in the house.

I want to initiate plan to relocate to Canada using the Express Entry system (Permanent Residence). I am married with two kids, presently working with over 9 years of experience. But the arrangement on ground is for me to relocate first while my wife and two kids (3yrs & 5yrs) will join me after my settling down.

I am new on this platform and have reached out to Attorney David Cohen (I am sure most of us knows his firm). The professional fee requested by this firm is rather on the high, $1,990.

My enquiries are listed below:

1. Can I initiate the process myself without going through any firm or agent?
2. How do I go about the process from start to finish if i need to do it myself without any agent?
3. If I include my family in the processing, will it increase my chances of getting ITA, noting my wife also works with over 7 years experience.
4. At what point will I go for the IELTS exam?

Please help with all the necessary info I may require to start the processing.

Thank you ALL
