bozz007:No, it wasn’t. Firstly, one has to be physically present or send a proxy to initiate the process. Even after I filled out all the necessary paperwork and made payments, I had to wait for a long time because according to them, the DG was busy and couldn’t sign the transcript. When it was eventually signed and sent, verification was another war because their internet got broken. |

bozz007:Thank you bozz007. I used WES for my ECA. Although I didn’t get points for a professional degree, I chose the 2 certificates option. As a matter of fact, NCA has acknowledged the receipt of my credentials from WES and same shows on my NCA profile as approved. I currently await the result of the assessment. So yes, WES will send the converted course by course evaluation report to NCA and NCA will accept it. I am sorry, I don’t have enough information about IQAS in this regard. I hope this answers your question? Let me know if you need further info. |

jjohndoe83:No. It doesn’t say anything about it being a first professional degree in law. It simply states thus: Canadian Equivalency: Bachelors degree (four years) 1 Like |

It’s COPR guys! IELTS – June 2, 2018 ECA – August 30, 2018 ITA – Sept. 5, 2018 AOR – Sept 14, 2018 RPRF – November 15, 2018 1st Ghost update – December 24, 2018 2nd Ghost/File Approved – December 31 PPR – January 9, 2019 PP submitted – January 17, 2019 CIC profile updated to approved/Counterfoil generated – Jan. 22nd PUM – Jan. 24th IN THE DAY’S OF IGNORANCE! I started this process not knowing that there were other ECA bodies aside WES! I had already paid WES before I discovered that all I would get from my LLB was “Bachelors Degree equivalent”. I wasn’t sure if that was good enough, then it occurred to me to consult nairaland (God bless the founding fathers of this thread). After weighing my options, I decided to arrange for my law school transcript to be sent to WES as well so I could at least claim 2 or more. My undergrad school kept saying that they did not receive WES verification until they finally did after 7weeks! When it was time for Nigerian law school to verify, they said their internet was broken (whatever that means) I had to pay extra 10k for paper mailing. IELTS I didn’t have enough time to study for IELTS because of my job. But I was able to do some listening and reading exercises. I also tried writing on the task 2 paper to see what 250 words should look like. (Tip was from newmum0615) Did IELTS June 2, 2018 and results were 8.5, 9, 7.5, 7.5 I couldn’t enter the pool because ECA. On August 30, 2018, ECA landed. LLB = 4yr Bachelors Degree equivalent, Law School = 1 year Post Graduate Diploma. Without much ado, I plunged into the pool - head first - with a CRS of 474. POF I got 2 bank reference letters, one was in the required format; the other, not quite but I didn’t care much. No account statements! PCC I paid 17k for my Nigerian PCC! The police man scanned the documents to me in color, I affixed my fingerprints and scanned back to him with copies of my passport photo and passport document data page. FBI PCC was a breeze. MEDICALS: I paid $375USD for My medicals! Insurance no dey gree cover immigration medicals. I was emailed my medical report in 2days. TICK…TOCK… I submitted my application on September 14, 2018 when my passport had about one-month validity. I had already requested a new one though so I raised a CSE when it arrived. So, I thought I would receive PPR within 3 weeks because people have been preaching that US residents get faster processing times. But I waited, and waited, and waited – for PPR. After a few weeks, I became agitated upon realizing that I did not state my internship experience with a US Federal Government agency. I read of how people were refused because they failed to declare past or current work history. I quickly raised a CSE before my village people will reach my file before me. When I received my RPRF, I thought that PPR was near, na lie! I waited again, and again, and again! People with later AOR dates were getting PPR left, right and center, yet US residents were not moving (per immitracker). HUSTLE YOUR OWN PPR! After I got the two ghost updates, I called IRCC on January 7, and was told my file had been approved but that it might take a little more time for me to receive the PPR email. At that time, I had read how people were hustling their own PPR from NDVO, I quickly joined the hustle and in less than 24hrs, I got my own PPR. (By the way, I think NDVO has stopped that benevolence). I requested a change of VFS to submit my passport but received no response in that regard. After waiting for some days, I sha submitted my passport with my local VAC and the rest is history! PS: Application was on IP2 from AOR to PPR and file never left the CIO. I want to thank this family for the selflessness and love that radiates all corners of this thread. Despite the fights that occur at intervals, we all know that “what binds us together is stronger than what pulls us apart” per Obama POTUS (as he then was). And those to whom this may matter: Do not start this journey on your own accord, but “…in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall (it’s a certainty) direct your path”. Wherever you are encountering difficulties, do not hesitate to ask God for the wisdom to surmount the obstacles because He gives (wisdom) to all men generously! (James 1:5). Never forget that to an infinite God, all finites are equal. And when Jesus walked out of that tomb, impossibility became an illusion! 106 Likes 4 Shares |

Flaj:Could you throw more light on this? There are 2 recipients on my account viz; Myself (by default) and NCA. Do you mean I should edit myself out of the recipients list? Also, if you have received your upgraded report, does it say that the credentials were verified by your school (against the Credential Authentication column) ? |

blessings2017:Yes I did the EE application and I used my WES ECA report for my Application. When I called NCA though, they said they accept credentials from WES but that the report has to state that the credentials were verified by the issuing institution and not just sent by the institution. On my ECA report, it is stated that the institutions verified the credentials, but I am not sure whether they will state the same in the course-by-course report. I looked up a sample of an ICAP course by course evaluation report on WES’ website, and the verification thing isn’t stated on it. But then again, it could be that a verification wasn’t required for that credential and therefore was not done. Any advice? |

Hi Fam, this is urgent please. I am about ordering an upgrade of my credential assessment with WES for NCA assessment. I’m kinda confused whether to order a course-by-course or document by document evaluation. Those that have walked this path, please contribute, those that haven’t but have ample knowledge, please lend your PS: I didn’t submit my WAEC to WES, will it be required now? |
