My darling sis.. it's just FBI PCC left which I should be getting in 2 weeks since they are now on 30th of April applications.
I've gotten bank letters and statements ready.
Work ref letters.
God will perfect what he has begun IJN.

If I'm so happy because I received ITA I wonder what I'll do when I receive COPR? Na wa for me.

Please, did you use your nigerian or usa address under the applicant home address section on the FBI pcc form?

elfmann:
Yea..my pal is at 390! Nothing yet. Any lull in their invitation?

Their first round of invite was the week of June 28th. Some have received nominations already.

elfmann:
309? I don't believe it.

Yes. Ontario need ICT professionals and their applications are prioritized.
Stop doubting and get into the pool if u are in the same category. Scores as low as 308,309,311.
Mind u some pple have over 400 and are still waiting for our application to be processed by oinp.

It's their time ....

JustinTrudeau:
Hello guys Bimpsy raised an interesting point here. Lets put it to bed once and for all.Many of us want to do ECA and we don't want to fall victim of any excruciating wait.Which one is the best WES or IQAS.Seniors pls contribute.If u have done your ECA kindly contribute abeg.

Thank you
Your PM

Well, the both of them are good. IQAS seems faster in it's evaluations. But WES is also fast just slower for any degree that originates from Nigeria.It does evaluations for UK and USA degrees within 2-3 weeks max. But for Nigeria,they do their due deligence (verification from institutions)to avoid future litigation I assume. And u can't blame them based on Nigeria's profile.

fidelism:
How do I do that. Any calculator?

I will need to do a search for you. But the point is that you might have a Crs score of above 400 and still be ineligible for express entry if u do not met the min req of 67/100.

Modified:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Point grids for each factor:

Language skills
Education
Experience
Age
Arranged employment in Canada
Adaptability

Each factor has a max score.

Use it to calculate ur points.

fidelism:
My EE scores is currently 388, but my submitted profile reads 'Not eligible'.

Do you av the min req score of 67/100 for the express entry prog?

Rightthumb:
Thanks so much for this response. I will be working on getting the transcript sent to WES soonest. One more thing is the Payment process for WES. Can it be done through direct debit from a Naira Account?

I'm not sure abt the payment options from Nigeria. I'm sure someone else can help with the question and u could just check d website.

Please, I need a clarification as regards ielts min req for express entry. I don't want to give wrong info to someone asking me.
I'm very sure about celpip but ielts no idea
is it 6.5 or 7 in each band? Or is it avg band. Biko clarify o

Good Morning,

I am 29yrs Old, would be 30 by December(Single), I have 3years experience in Systems and Network Administration, with the Last 5 months in a Multinational firm. I recently revived my Long concived interest in applying for the FSWP. So while trying to get things sorted, I got this link( http://pinoy-canada.com/articles/ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-oinp-2017-updates/ ) from someone. I would like to know if the information contained there is still useful, and also ask for some tips on how to process and Pay for WES - I finished from Lautech.
I'll also like to know if WAEC certificate verification with WES is necessary in this regard considering the fact that I am applying as a graduate.

Thank you.

Yes, the information is true. So far theve had only a round of invite in the week of June 28th. NOI was given to as low as 308 Crs score so Be prepared if you are an ICT professional.

WES is required for ur highest degree obtained.
Google Wes and follow all registration instructions on their Web page.

bigbroda:
Really angry and feeling devastated right now. July 8th exam result just came out and it was a mess up for me. LSRW-7.5,7,6.5,7.5. Feel so hurt and tired of the whole thing. Ain't doing dat exam again perhaps for now. Gotta take a break, Ontario might call while chilling being an IT person with 381 which is possibly hitting 390 after spouse's ECA or EE cut off just come down to 390 while I believe will happen someday from a personal study. I will be glad to embrace any of the stated options.

Gotta take a break but before dat lemme ask for a remark in listening and reading. Who knows, something good might come outta dat cos I'm a bit optimistic about it especially for the listening.

Guyz, can someone please list all the steps involved in asking for a remark biko. Dat's all I need for now.


Salam!

Pls stay in the pool. Ontario is pulling stunts. A friend with 309 got OINP nomination within a week. Miracles still happens!!!

damilola1978:
Mehn i need help with this ielts o...L7.5R7W7S7...i just dont know how to ace this thing...any idea's please

Devote more time for practice. Get free online practice questions and if u need to buy more from ielts pls do. It's an investment worth putting ur all into to achieve ur desired results. You tube ielts videos is also helpful.
I wish u success in ur Canadian dream.

Kontagious:
I am retracting part of the quoted post. N10,000 is indeed to be paid for verification!

My status unbelievably changed back to waiting for verification, I waited for about three days to see the wonders happening if it was some sort of glitch or whatever. About the 4th day, I sent a mail to WES to please clarify if LASU had responded as my status had earlier changed from waiting for verification to documents received and now back to waiting for verification. 2 days later WES replied saying they are awaiting verification and the evaluation will be completed as soon as they get a favorable response from LASU.

I gave another week to see if LASU would respond. After watching status remain same for the whole week, it became apparent a visit to Lasu is necessary so I went today. Lasu in her wise thinking sent WES a pay advice that I have to pay 10,000 before they respond. (a payment to be made by me was communicated to WES!).

What needs to be done for LASU applicants; as soon as you get a status change to awaiting verification, proceed to pay N10,000 at Sterling Bank in school - account name and number to pay to is in the banking hall tapped to the writing platform, go convert the bank teller to official receipt at Block 2 Room 11 (note, you'd be asked to write your name and purpose of payment at the back of the bank teller), then take the official receipt to Exams and Record (ICT building), there the receipt will be stapled to your documents sent from WES and verification response subsequently processed.

cc: Algbenguze

It's really sad when institutions request for additional funds to verify that they actually sent out the transcript. Nigerians causing hardship for fellow citizens. Haba. It really hurts. Same applies to other institutions like Unaab even WAEC claimed they were marking and could not respond to Verification via email hence requested additional 10k.
Someday I really do hope this madness and insensitivity will end.

akinkk:
It's quite sad to be ignored.

You can make it. The crs score is high for now but you can get a provincial nomination that gives you additional 600 points. So when creating your profile,choose all province to the question where do u intend to reside in Canada. And remember to Ace ur ielts. You will need good practice and time invested to achieve good ielts results and it's very possible. Best wishes!

Nigerians and jungle justice. Btw why are these badoo beaters not after the useless politicians that are causing hardship for the citizens. Go after the politicians and let them flee from seat of power.
Pls note that I do not support kidnapping or stealing but I advocate for the youths to go after the politicians with same passion they are dealing with these badoo culprits. Truth be said, badoo cultists and nigerian politicians are synonymous. These politicians av destroyed d life's of generations so DEAL with THEM!!!!.

jpepper:
No, I don't even know what NOI is, it that like PNP? I have less than 1 year experience here so I don't know if that makes me ineligible for NOI. Was really just going to work for one year and apply under CEC but i decided to try a faster route as the rules might change plus I have work experience from Naija anyway. I have a dependant which is why my point is low as I lost points for having a dependant. I didn't get my spouse to do a WES or an English exam because when I used their CRS tool to calculate my points before applying it was pretty high, I had points for the job offer so I didn't see the need for the trouble on my spouse's part. Looks like I have to revisit that option now

Notice of interest from a province to apply for the PNP
You can get an NOI irrespective of the stream u are applying for however u must meet the express entry requirement first

jpepper:
I guess i found the answer

Yeah, that's d answer.
Did u get a NOI yet?

eyoiba:
OK thanks.

Can I start processing my transcript for sending to WES even when they are yet to finish verification.

They verify your transcript from your institution after receiving not before. First thing first:
Register with Wes and get a reference number
School sends transcript to wes indicating ur reference number.(u av to provide the school with wes address)
Wes receives transcripts
Wes verifies transcript from institutionand finally,
Evaluation begins...

And when the evaluation is completed u receive a notification email from WES.
I hope this helps u to understand d process.

eyoiba:
Someone should please answer my question.

So your status might change to
Verification from institution or
Evaluation in progress.

CPA01:

Ehrnie:
Tutor? Please you don't need a tutor...all you need is quality time to practice. You have spent money already using an agent, no need to incur further costs.

Use online study materials -
Liz IELTS
Ielts buddy
Study materials from British Council
YouTube

I believe you will ace it. You just need to invest time.

Exactly my thoughts.

peppers:
Thank you very much. Do you know any tutor I could talk to? or what do you advise? I have spent so much already. Thank you too @Beem4cupid.

Tutor? Buy recent study materials online from the organizers of d exam. Practice well.u will be fine.

olajide21:
Hi everyone?
Please does having a relative in Canada add to your your CRS? If it does, how many points does that add...?
Also, how long does it take to get a Canadian passport after the issuance of PR.
Thanks

It seems it's 5 marks for Adaptability.
It's usually stated under the eligibility scores breakdown(100 marks)
Or u can just try creating a dummy account. U can always delete it...

Is an applicant supposed to provide reference letters for all job positions stated in the work history in the last ten years ( irrespective of the noc code i.e 0,A,B,C or D) or for just the qualifying job.(with noc code 0, A or B) ?
Thank you.
