MummyJaygirls:
She's actually a girl

For me I paid 19,500 (18k to send and 1k5 for insurance) insurance is not compulsory.

The dhl office I used refused return payment upfront cos prices change from time to time, blablabla. they said when passport is ready for pickup that's when I'd pay.

Sorry oo. The combination of Ugo and Iyke caused it lol. Well I used DHL today and all went as yours did.

Put CSE on the search button. I haven't done it so don't know the procedure

i saw this in docs required but it doesnt say colored as it is indicated in police cert:

Proof of completed Canadian or foreign educational credentials can include copies of
secondary or post-secondary education documents (certificates, diplomas or degrees); and
transcripts for successfully completed secondary or post-secondary studies, if available.

please what do u think?

I think yes. The documents requested is to ur degree certificate not transcript. Did you upload a photocopy of your certificate? If yes you still have time to raise a CSE to scan the original

i uploaded a photocopy of my degree cert. please whats the link for CSE. and how lpng does it take to upload. thank you.

Ehrnie:
The address on your UK PCC can be either (1) a UK address if you are currently living in the UK (2) a Nigerian address if you are currently living in Nigeria. Summary is that the address on you UK PCC will be the address you CURRENTLY live.

The address on your UK pcc has to be the address you currently live that is why they ask you to submit proof of address when applying for the PCC. You have to be careful to ensure all your documents have the same address. You cannot have an old address on your UK PCC, and then have a new/different address on you Statement of Accounts (for e.g.) That doesn't sound right to me & it may be picked up.

You have to be consistent. Hian!

Well, what of a situation where one has a permanent address in Lagos which he still maintains and also an address in PH where he works. i have similar situation and my UK pcc carries my Lagos addy while bank statements carry PH addy.

Maybe a LOE will clarify better to the VO.

with the current cbn restriction, I dont think any bank does that for now.
What has been severally advised here are
1) get a friend or relative outside naija to make d payment for u and then u balance them in their naija accounts....me no too like this because it mayvbe quite difficult for some friend/relative to do this and u may divulge too much info to the person
2) get a dollar denominated card frm a naija bank...buy dollar frm d BDC and fund d account, get to pay yourself online.
i know of zenith bank. maybe some others too will have dorm accts with card.

Thanks bro!!

If you have Nigerian card that can pay in foreign exchange YES, if not NO

Thanks for your response @Optionese i am actually looking for ideas with regards to the Nigerian banks that can make such (1040 CAD) payments because the banks i use dont do such transactions.

Pls did u do such payments from Nigeria? If Yes, which bank did u use & @ what exchange rate?

Will appreciate your response. THANKS!

Literature › Pen And Paper by blaizetony(op): 6:57am On Feb 20, 2017*

Pen and paper by O.A.O

"The pen is mightier than the sword" (Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1839). Growing up, I was a little kid with few words; I expressed myself better by my actions. My words came out short and precised but lacked the depth, strength and the supreme potential of conveying my deepest thoughts from my soul articulately and seamlessly to my listeners. I developed dire impatience, as people often misunderstood or disregarded my scanty words and inept actions which I often utilized to buttress my viewpoints, up until I unwittingly discovered the glamorous art of writing.

Writing, although arduous at first trial, gave me the desired platform to pour out my heart via one of the cheapest but effectual medium of communication, which is a “pen and paper”. Time after time days after days, writing became a part of me. With that little pen, I could express my deepest thoughts without restrictions. No government, no oppression, no turmoil could hold me back. I became unstoppable! Even with the stifling recession, I adjusted to cheapjack pens but my words were hitting the papers hard and connecting unlimited thoughts, vast and uncountable as the waters. Lines after lines, I saw myself educating myself, I saw myself casting out anger and frustrations on plain papers, rather than hauling distasteful words on my oppressors. With writing, I now see myself crossing boundaries in my heart and reaching out to you. Yes, you my prudent reader. I feel relieved that through pen and papers, I can connect with your heart faster than ultraviolet rays.

As you read my words, you connect with my soul and my innermost thoughts even if we never cross paths, I have an unshakable conviction that through your eyes, I have reached out to your thought mechanisms but above all, I have subtly beguiled your attention! No villain, no repressive government, no corruption, no shackles can stop this invisible link between our souls. We are inconspicuously united!

Pick up your pen and write me, write your foes, write to that villain, write to that individual or people that have kept you a prisoner, subjected to nothingness. Write for the world to read. Shakespeare, Dickens and Hemingway all did it, you also can. Let your emotions guide your priceless pen; let your eyes connect to your innermost intuition. Believe me, your words can break barriers and connect hearts all around the world in a way science will forever find unfathomable.

I pledge to write… do you?

Hello House,

Please am in a delimma. If one claimed points for work experience say between 2013-2015 with a particular NOC. but currently works in a different company and totally different NOC, which he/she didnt claim points for, do the person need to upload ref letter for the current job(which he didnt claim points for)? Or jus add it to the personal records?

Travel › Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by blaizetony: 12:03pm On Feb 11, 2017

Adiahabasi:
No references required for employment you put in personal history only.

What if one claims points for an employment lets say between 2012-2014, but not with his present job... does the person need to provide ref letter for the present job that he didnt claim points for? Or like u said, put in personal history??

Thanks

PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school), or:

Post-Bachelor's Certificate
Post-undergraduate certificate
Post-Bachelor's Diploma
Post-undergraduate diploma
Graduate Certificate
Graduate Certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
Postgraduate certificate
Postgraduate Diploma
Graduate Diploma with a focus in [area of concentration]

Reference letters alone would suffice, but if you can get payslips, you can attach those as well.

secondly, what happens to those that were paid by cash?.

Hello house. I have been a silent follower of this thread. I wrote my first IELTS General exams around Oct and got : L 7.5, R 6.5 W 6.5 & S 7.5. (I didnt practise so much) tongue

This result was really depressing but i, my colleague and friends decided to give it another try and we wrote the Dec 3rd's exam. I got L 9, R 8, W 7.5 & S 7.5. (Practised hard for 1month)

When i checked my CRS score, it came out to 481 lol grin

.

I am yet to create a profile for the pool (no ECA yet) cos i never really took this Canada EE seriously.

I just quickly applied to my post graduate Uni (Sunderland) to send my transcript to IQAS.

I urge people taking IELTS to use Youtube videos for their listening practices, then use IELTS Liz for the rest, especially for the reading tips. IELTS 68k is not beans with this recession!!! cry

Wish you all goodluck and the best!!!
