Hi all. Please I need practical experience from anyone who knows about a gift deed or has successfully used it. My question is that will I need to submit the bank statement of the gifter or evidence of where he got his money?
Is the notarized copy sufficient.?
Lastly, any idea of how much it will cost, I have a sample letter shared on this platform but how much does it cost to notarize it in Lagos.

Thanks

I second this view. This is as extracted from the CIC website, as long as you correctly wrote your reference number, they will surely get thier copy from British council and credential evaluating body. People only upload to avoid them requesting for it at a later date, which I would believe may be due to inability to track their own copy for verification.

Your educational certificate or transcript is the most important which failure to upload may lead to a rejection. Please go to bed and thank God for the success of your application cos you havent broken any rule grin

'Where an ECA has been obtained, the applicant must provide the ECA reference number in their e-APR for online validation directly from the issuing organization.
A scanned copy of the ECA is not required when submitting the e-APR but may be requested by IRCC at a later date.'

Babachi:
I don't think it was asked to upload Ielts and Eca. They requested for university certificate. You have already given your ielts and Eca numbers before. I didn't upload them as well

Hi

I thought your writing was 6 before the remark, was it bumped up to 7.5 or did u remark the most recent result?

Kathyjex:
Good evening dear people. I just want to encourage everyone of us hoping for good IELTS score that there is hope. Don't give up. I took IELTS Feb 11th and my score was LSRW 8.5,7.5,7,6. The writing made me drop 100points. I rewrote the exam again and had LSRW 8.5,7.5,7,7 which I used to get ITA. However I had applied for remark cos I didn't have peace about the writing. My New result came out today and my writing was bumped up to 7.5 from 7. please don't fear requesting for remark. I realised a long time ago that if something never hard, naija no de like am.

Makes absolute sense.

perks:
@Bimpsy99...i don't think it's as clear cut as u think. Note that d name on his statement is showing the company's name and not d donor's name. So I will suggest two options:

1. If u are going with ur spouse, transfer d money to her account, then after a while let her transfer the money to any other account owned by u which u will now have to use for ur EE profile. Then write LOE dat it's from ur spouse in support of u guys application.

2. If u are a single applicant, then transfer it to ur parent's or sibling's account and have them transfer it back to another of ur account then do a deed of gift.

My seniors hope my suggestions are in order?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 7:57pm On Apr 24, 2017
The first thing that crossed my mind is one chance. grin

Why tie your next future to someone when u can do it yourself? Please get ur PR then u can get a job, she can assist if she has links but the job openings are everywhere on the internet o.


If you have made up your mind to use an agent then its up to you and I would believe you have your reasons.

All the best.

Hello everyone....Pls advise

A good samaritan (family friend actually) whom i had discussed this canadian journey with at the beginning of the year and whom i complained to about the amount of money i would need to have in my account as pof, suddenly asked her trust fund manager to transfer close to #5m into my acct today.

Nw I wasn't expecting it cos she didn't assure me she would do so nd when i called she said she was borrowing me for my pof.

I haven't received ITA yet. Bt I'm already thinking.... when i eventually do, where would i say i got #5m frm? Although the name of the sender was ***** marina trust Ltd bt i dnt av evidence that i did any investment with them or that i have any trust fund with them.

What do i do pls?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 7:51pm On Apr 24, 2017
From the top of my head, She is ur child whether u were married then or not as long as you have her birth certificate to show for it as well as other evidences like her naming picture, family picture you all took together at some point. An LOE would do, main thing is the birth certificate of three of you involved.
She's not ur adopted child but your biological child and you just have to demonstrate that tie. That's all

Good morning,
Please, I need help with making a decision. I am in the EE pool with 401 score and I received NOI from Ontario. Written ielts 3 times in search of 8 in listening. Latest ielts score is LRSW 8.5, 5.5, 7, 7

1. Should I accept NOI and apply for PNP?
2. Should I retake IELTS... 4th time or request re-mark for reading? Or,
3. Should I be hopeful scores fall to 401 in next 2 draws if it continues to fall at present rate?

This my small head wants to blow up. Help pls!

Hello people,

This is quite an interesting thread I must say. Thanks to the gurus in the house for all your wise counsels, beautiful suggestions and awesome pieces of advice. Please I need your input in choosing the most appropriate NOC code for a Customer Service Officer in the bank (those people in banks you meet for ATM cards and stuffs).

I've been going through the list but couldn't find it. The closest I saw on NOC was 1114 = other financial officers but the job descriptions aren't similar.

Again, I studied computer science but have this job role for over 5years now. What should I do concerning the code? Secondly, must my educational qualification be in tandem with my job? Please help.

Brought up this post for people who feel that reading and listening cant be bumped up cos its objective. This person got a 1 mark bump in listening. The question is are you willing to take the bold step and do you believe you should have scored higher if it were properly marked?



dammysanmi:
Hello House,

I would like to thank @vcole @dupyshoo and other members that offered advice especially concerning my IELTS test i took on 29th October 2016. After EOR which took exactly 10 weeks, my scores increased by a band.

Former Scores: LRWS- 7.5,7.5,7.5,8
After EOR: LRWS- 8.5,7.5,7.5,8

Here's my issue, my name was not included among the convocation list, so i can't get my Masters certificate OFFICIALLY till next year January (so annoying angry cos i fulfilled all graduating conditions well before the list was drawn). They promised me a letter "in lieu of" which i don't think will suffice for ECA.

This sets my score at 426 (instead of 465) without the Masters (i'll be 31 years in 2 weeks, married with over 7 years experience). Should i go ahead with the ECA with my B.Eng. OR/AND try for a PNP?

Wifey's IELTS scores were lower, going to clock 30 in April, doesn't have a Masters degree/2 certificates either, so i guess she's not a better PA.

Thanks in anticipation everyone.

Pardon?? Dont mistake IQAS for ICAS as they are different bodies. IQAS is the recommended one, https://www.alberta.ca/iqas-immigration.aspx. Its been discussed extensively on this thread. Payment is made at inception before you get the reference number which would be used for the evaluation





abimbolaariyo:
please can someone explain the process of credentials assessment using ICAS and when do i make payment ?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 11:48pm On Apr 21, 2017
Hi

My honest response is that the Speaking and Listening has to be switched for it to make great sense. You need a minimum of 8 in listening as the principal applicant. If you could achieve this at first attempt, you will only need some extra efforts to ace it the second time.

Please verify to check your actual listening score.

All the best

QuantumK:
Hi people, I wrote my exams also on April 8, 2017 and i have seen my result online.

Speaking - 8
Writing: 7.5
Reading - 7
Listening - 7

I hope this works for my express entry application. To be honest , I didn't prepare at all. I kinda took it for granted
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 11:39pm On Apr 21, 2017
Whao, not heard of certificate verification o, WES and them wahala. As per ACCA, they just accepted what ACCA sent to them in my case without any verification and then they requested for my transcript verification for Naija school. I can imagine your frustration cos I was in your shoes. Sent them over 30 tweets in less than a month and some interesting DM's grin. Was praying to God to cancel every spirit of delay cos I was so frustrated after ICAS drama spending over 11 months waiting for my ECA. Eventually God took over and they responded via Twitter that my case as been marked as urgent as I wont let them rest every minute on twitter. The ECA got ready the next day. They even notified me on twitter to check my status that it should have changed to completed. When I logged on, it was true grin.

Like I always say, if you dont have to use WES or ICAS FLEE!!!!!! angry In your case you needed two or more certificates and your ACCA made u use them. Lets trust God for the best

Thinking of it well, If WES delays so much with Naija transcript, should one not just do ACCA with them and then IQAS for Naija degree?, its more expensive but more relaxing. You dont have to use the same body for both degrees.

I pray your case gets resolved on time cos you are kinda stuck with them and you can only trust God to intervene, So sorry about your experience. sad







browndoll:
I wish I had done a proper review of WES before engaging their services.i have missed several ITAs because of them.
I started evaluation since February 11 th,all documents from me and my uni and acca sent.last week they asked for a letter of confirmation from acca and certificate verification from ABU Zaria(which cost 18k for verification and 16k for courier).ABU sent both soft copy and courier which was delivered on Monday this week. Only for me to get a mail tonight that not only is my certificate verification pending,they are requesting for a TRANSCRIPT verification now!!! I am so angry right now because getting these documents from ABU is so expensive not to talk of the time wasting.i have been doing everything they ask just to be able to take advantage of the low scores and WES is making my life a living hell
Wish I had the funds to start IQAS at least I heard they have sense there.
BEWARE OF WES PEOPLE!!! They will frustrate you and you have no customer service there.useless organization
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 11:23pm On Apr 21, 2017
I doubt if WES would evaluate your certification based on what is on their site as seen below. The only exception I have seen so far is ACCA. You can goggle to see if anyone has successfully gotten an evaluation otherwise let it go.

Does WES evaluate work experience?
WES evaluates formal secondary and post-secondary academic credentials only. WES does not assess professional designation, professional competence or experience.


freeradical:
Thanks Patrick. How do I go about evaluating a professional certificate with WES. When I tried to the drop-down list I saw for type of degree/diploma did not have anything like diploma on it
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 11:06pm On Apr 21, 2017
Hmmn, it appears that you are assuming the got 8 in listening cos we are used to a particular format of result presentation. Please confirm if your 8 is in speaking or listening, that is the deal breaker to determine if its fantastic grin



perks:
Fantastic result u got there. Thumbs up. If u ve ur ECA then u r ready to take a dive into d pool. grin
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 2:02pm On Apr 21, 2017
Yes I think its true, but if you are not going through provincial nomination, you may not have to worry. Its a question of speed. If u need say Wes for your occupation in Canada like CPA accepts only WES ICAP ( For some internationally trained accountants) so IQAS won't fly for that purpose.

My advice is find out if your province will accept it if you are going through them. Otherwise, If all that u need is this ECA to get the ITA, IQAS is faster. You can always work on registering with your professional body once you get ur PR. One step at a time




temmytee1:
Is it true that some provinces dont accept IQAS assessment?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 10:43pm On Apr 20, 2017
Evaluate MSC only using IQAS. Avoid WES if you don't have to use them. Please read up what others have said on IQAS for better understanding

If you mean in the eAPR. I included ND, two year diploma, hnd, 3 year diploma and one year post graduate. The most important thing is that I didnt claim more points than i should cos I realised its different from the CRS tool that just says two or more degrees. I had to input it as interpreted by WES.




telias:
Hello Bimpsy99, how did you input the HND assessment? 3 years or more PLUS one year program?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 6:38am On Apr 14, 2017
Guess I have answered your question. All the best.
IQAS is fast but gives u same point as BSC

Please house,I wanted to know if anyone has used IQAS in assessing his HND transcripts,I jst want to know if it is well assessed
Thanx
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 6:36am On Apr 14, 2017
Wes gives the most favorable resut. Two or more cert. IQAS evaluate as three year diploma, use them if you are not the principal applicant otherwise use WES. The difference of over 50 marks is significant


elfmann:
I don't know,, if WES will...hit their way.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 8:06pm On Apr 13, 2017
If you are about 30 or less you can get as high as 467 with your HND. You don't need ICAN for this purpose. Get 8 in listening and 7 in the remaining. Evaluate with WES and you are good to go..

I used to believe in the subjectivity theory until I read on nairaland about people who successfully got their marks bumped up in reading and listening. If you are absolutely sure that you didnt doo well in some parts, then you can let it go.

Let's be hopeful that you make the next cut off. Cos your ietls result is invalid during the time of the remark until its ready.. So a bird in had may be better. All the best



Lordnath:
@Bimpsy99
I thought of that too. But Listening section is objective. If it was subjective sections like Writing and Speaking, I would have challenged the result. Furthermore, I have maximum CRS points from all sections but Listening.

Pls reply if you disagree.
