Please recalculate. With BSc, and that IETLS score, 400 is unattainable.

You may try PNP though with your work experience. Check https://moving2canada.com/pnp-canada-live-tracker/#Manitoba for more information on that.

pyruvateluv:
That score can't give you 439
I'm sure you selected "work experience in Canada"

Joromi12:

adanac13:
Please dear rewrite it, when you smash it your score will sky rocket

Magnifico2000:
75k no fit just go like that na. Did u source all the materials u used for the test online?

Magnifico2000:
From what I have been able to gather so far. I think 460+ scores give u more edge when you apply. Let the more knowledgeable people answer you.

Magnifico2000:
How long did you take to prepare for the test?

charlione:
You dey shame? You should see my wife's score

Time for my testimony (IELTS)

Its been a long time coming. I have been following this thread since part 1 when i was in the UK for my masters. I could have attempted to write the exam there but my procastination got the better of me. I kept pushing it till i landed in Naija in November 2016.

On my arrival, i fortunately got a great job earning quite a huge sum of money so i relegated ielts and canadian dream behind. However, fast forward to 2018 around April. I noticed most of my family friends and people i knew were vamoosing to Canada. I picked interest and paid 40k for 6 weeks tutorials, registered for june 2nd exam with BC. I thought that, isnt it the same English i spoke and wrote in the UK? Result came out and i scored LRWS 7.5, 7, 6.0, 6.5. Wow, i was dismayed and embarrased. Ielts humbled me but their humbling wasnt just once.

I practiced for my second attempt immediately my 1st results were released, i made sure i gave myself 3-4 months gap to prepare properly. Then i heard about IDP , some people told me idp was lenient and i should give it a try. I registered for october 23 exams with idp, results came out and i noticed where my problem was. (Writing). LRWS 9, 7, 6.5, 7.5. I thought i did well in the writing to deserve at least a 7 so i applied for EOR same day. I transferred 46k to IDP and after 3 weeks the results came back unchanged. I was annoyed with myself.

I wanted to apply immediately for the next exam around december but due to christmas festivities and the lack of preparation..i decides to tally and register for my 3rd attempt february 9th with IDP. I prepared only for writing, i never practiced LRW, i used all materials i could see ranging from Liz, Jay, Chris, Ryan, Ieltsbbuddy, ieltsonline. I prayed and fasted for weeks prior and after my exams, i told God that if this didmt work for me this time, i would pass my next attempt. I must say st joseph of Cupertino was my daily prayer. Result came out and still writing was my nightmare LRWS 8, 8.5, 6.5, 7.5.

I was depressed for the first time in my life, everything annoyed me, i couldnt even eat for almost a week. Then i remembered that i told God to make it happem for me in my next trial. I immediately got to work, this time i focused my attention on just a website and i recommend it to ieltstakers. For me she did justice to writing. Her name is Shelly, her website is myieltsclassroom. She broke every inch of the writing down. My friend subscribed for her monthly paid videos and she was magnanimous enough to give me her log in details which i watched, downloaded and followed it religiously to the latter. I never forgot God, i prayed but didnt fast. I made it a duty to pray 3ce a day even at midnight. I registered for june 1st 2019 with IDP, focused only on writing again. I though that listening and reading was easy. Result came out today and to the glory of God i aced my ielts on my 4th attempt. One full year of practice and trial. LRWS 8.5, 9.0, 7.5, 7.0.

My ielts jourmey officially comes to an end. Thank God. I want to tell everyone not to give up. Please dont forget God in your studies. Pray and practice and remain confident in your ability. To be honest, in my 4th attempt i spent 30 minutes on my task 2 infact i asked for extra sheet and filled everything to the last line. I was wondering if i was writing jargons cos i know people were saying you should make your essay short and coincise. My task 1 was rushed, i practically wrote what waa coming from my head and didnt plan. Finally, to all the catholics ielts takers, and of course, christians as a whole. Pray to God and read St Joseph of Cupertino.

From all I can tell, the OP is not competitive. You are a banker in a 3rd world, teaches English and do marketing and sales. You haven't sold anything that will make our eyes pop out. Chill bro, you aren't competitive and that will decrease your chances of going to a better country.
I know you will think I'm harsh but Germany, and other Western countries are in shortage of high skilled jobs, for instance, data scientists.
Anyone is more likely to employ a South African as an English teacher compared to a Nigerian. That's because they feel their education is better than ours and that's true.
Now you have to up your game, go learn something that will cut you an edge. This might take years and energy but 3 years from now, you will have better chance of getting a good job in any country that you'd want. Think Data science , digital marketing since you said you are a sales person. The world is so open, you can be anything you want to be. If you put your time and effort in it.
I wish you well.

You don't need a masters to get you 100K - 200K euros per year job. You can always learn online and do some certifications.

temitayoolu:
I don't see how this one can help you honestly.



Are you into tech? If yes what do you do.


If not what interests you?



I can lie about my job role, educational experience and udemy skills or what ever you call it just to discard your questions but just tell me what you wanna achieve and I'll advice.

I tell ya, all fake smiles everywhere that's america for you. I remember one time i went out to launch with two of my bosses, we joked, ate and had a great time. 3.30 pm time to get off work i was called for a meeting with the same two bosses and they told me today will be my last day. I should clear my desk while security escort me out of the building .. These are d same people i laugh with had good relationship with, since that time i learnt my lesson. You can be replaced at anytime nothing like "padi".

edoman2016:
I doubt if you earn 500,000 Naira salary in a Nigerian company. If you are bold, mention the company name and I am sure some nairalanders working there can confirm it or not.

500k salary in Nigeria? Na so e easy. Be deceiving yourself.

Contumely:
The op is an attention seeker and doesn't even earn upto 100k

nonsense.

Cyberknight:
What you can do depends on your own abilities and interests, of course.

But I will advise you to take as your starting point the lists of occupations in demand for which Canada and Australia are seeking immigrants. Discount most of the white collar ones and pay more attention to those that are practical skills-based.

Lastly, remember that paper qualifications are not as valued there as they are here, so you need to target your efforts and hard-earned naira.

Best of luck.

Cyberknight:
If you must go abroad, try and revise the list of courses you mentioned there and look for something more practical that will give you the skills you need to succeed in your new environment.

Dear @BornToSucced,
I am happy you’re not dissuaded by what you currently earn. Nothing lasts forever in Nigeria. However, I do not see why you’ll resign only to go run masters degree when you can do it yourself and get a permanent residency in Australia or Canada.

This is the link to Australia thread here on Nairaland. Search Nairaland for the Canny thread.

You should leave ASAP but make sure you are going to a top school. Target at least top 50 and spread your tenticles. Look also to schools in the USA and research on scholarships. I used to be one of those that believed in Africa and would always talk people out of leaving but after I saw Italy my perspective just changed. We in Nigeria are living like animals and no amount of money can change this. Leave if not for your sake, for your children's sake. They would forever be grateful.

dingbang:
ok good choice. I wish you the very best in your endeavours and success in your life decisions. Just as your moniker is, you will succeed.

dingbang:
Of course you can get a very good job when you come back.
