Finally, ICES came through!!

Registered 7th January,2019

Transcript was sent from my School to them on 14th January, 2019 and was received same day

Evaluation was completed 1st April,2019.

I received an email from them on 3rd April,2019(this was after I had bombarded them with emails asking for updates on the evaluation of my transcript).

Got an email from UPS that it would be delivered today, 8th April,2019 and Yes!!it did...Hallelujah!! Another hurdle crossed!

In all, it took approximately 11weeks for ICES to evaluate my transcript.

Meanwhile, my hubby registered same day he did mine, and his evaluation was completed and sent back to Naija within 3weeks! We believe it is because his transcript was from a UK University.

Now we are sitting gallantly in the pool with CRS 453... May the next draw favour us all!

Thanks a lot

kingspaco:
What this means is that if you ever have in mind to practice engineering in Canada, you'll need to do another Evaluation for the professional body in any province.

Please @bolded
1.Can you explain more. Does it mean Alberta recognises only WES Engineers?
2.What about other provinces?

Thanks.

Avidreader748:
It depends on what you want. If you intend settling in Alberta, you may want to use WES because you would be needing it for you to become a registered engineer eventually. Wes seems to be the fastest. But it comes with waec wahala.

Ices is less complicated but takes 14 weeks.

1qas takes 3 months and above.

So if you want a fast ECA and don't mind the extra money, you may stick with Wes. If not, choose any of the other two.

Congratulations!

We are indeed grateful to the Lord that rules in the affairs of men. And that is why when the world say "No" we declare that we have a "Yahweh" who is a specialist in impossibility.

teeielts360:
Hello Guys.

i'm going to take this post like my first therapy session.
i am teeielts360, a prospective Express Entry applicant.
i think i'm .... sorry. i am an IELTS addict.
i've been up here since the beginning of this thread and between then and now, today confirms my 5th but not final IELTS test.

1ST- APRIL 2017: LRWS- 8.5, 6.5, 6.0, 7.5 (BC)

2ND- OCT 2017: LRWS- 7.0, 8.0, 8.0, 7.5 (BC) EOR UNCHANGED

3RD- SEPT 8TH 2018: LRWS- 8.5, 7.0, 6.0, 8.5 (MOD) EOR CHANGED WRITING TO 6.5

4TH- SEPT 29TH 2018: LRWS- 8.0, 7.0, 6.5, 8.5 (MOD) EOR UNCHANGED

5TH- FEB 14TH 2019: LRWS- 8.5, 8.0, 6.5, 8.0 (BC) EOR CAME OUT UNCHANGED TODAY

I THINK I SHOULD ADD THAT ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE CANADIAN EXPRESS ENTRY ARE READY AND AVAILABLE AND MY MAJOR CHALLENGE IS THE WRITING COMPONENT.

I HAVE A BROKEN HEART, I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING RIGHT NOW SO I CAN TAKE ANYTHING SAID OR DONE AS LONG AS ITS A SOLUTION.

IF I MAY ADD AGAIN, I AM AVAILABLE 24/7, MORNING/NIGHT, ANY TIME FOR ANY KIND OF CONTACT OR CORRESPONDENCE THAT CAN HELP END THIS IELTS STREAK.

MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS teeielts360@yahoo.com

I NEED HELP.

@dumprep, @4wearegreat, @joo2018, @Ifeoma77, @Topsmamen, @wasseynewest, @samsonedos, @raphrulz, @smslive2, @ladymarshall, @Livy2018, @tolfa.

ANYBODY, EVERYBODY.

I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS ONE.

Ask yourself this question..

If everyone in the 440+ are in your shoes, will they wait for the scores to drop?

People are looking for ways to upgrade their scores or upgrading their scores and you are asking this.

Please don't wait for uncertainties because nobody knows tomorrow.

Run 4:40 and goan write IELTS biko.

Scandinavian02:
Dear Seniors in the house.

We have been waiting in the Pool with a CRS of 448 since February 16th and from the trend, I don't think I can wait any longer.

My spouse alone did the IELTS that gave us the CRS score, I don't want to miss the next drraw hence wants to register for CBT without preparing just to earn 5-10points and boost our CRS for next draw.

Please, can I just walk in and write normal English and score at least 5 points to enable us get ITA in a fortnight?

Congratulations dear

Smooth processing

QUTEE:
Congratulations

It's ITA.

Fellow citizens,so this is it...
I
Decision to travel: December 2015 after my NYSC.

I started scrambling for foreign scholarships, engaging agents on how to obtain US visa with ease,how gullible i was then. I fell into the wrong hands and all my savings depleted. I even joined the students usa visa thread where the likes of lagosismyhome were elders then. Just know something today, agents are not your friend,all they wanna do is enrich their pockets. Fastforward to 2017,my brotherinlaw said he knows one agent that can help me with Canada, i was reluctant at first,agent again. I finally visited the guy in his office and he mesmerized me with juicy details about Canada and Australia,i met some gullible ones there too nodding their head like agama lizard in affirmation. He told me to write IELTS first and aim for a good score, he was not specific. I left his office that day thinking sebi its just English and this agents seem nice.


IQAS dealt with me too,i won't bore you with that,see my IQAS timeline below.The next time i hear I before u hear Q i don run

Lo and behold my IELTS of 4months was delivered to my house 2 days after i received my ECA and it came out positive.

Listening: 8.5
Reading:8.5
Speaking: 7
Writing : 7

Come and see your PM cry of joy then,i was there was a Sophie by my side then,well sha maybe i will talk to Ifeoma77 about that later . I dived into the pool with #435. That was how IRCC decided to increase scores,CRS refused to drop. Which kain life be this. That was how i dug up my ATS and since IQAS does not evaluate professional cert i needed to cough out another cash for WES. I researched online if i can merge 2 ECAs as 2 or more. Happytbaby came to the rescue,God bless you Happy wherever you are. She advised i do a small table with name of institution, certificate obtained, year of study, assessment body and ECA number and back it up with LOE.

Your PM

Na so oo.

The journey after PPR

ladymarshall:
Haha! Is anything worthwhile ever easy? I think that going is the easiest part sef. PPR is only the beginning. Living, settling and getting a job in Canada seems even more tougher than going. I have not slept since yesterday. Spent all night on Quora, Canadavisa, google home page and the living in canada thread NL reading migrants' experiences in Canada, their survival strategies, job hunt efforts, their happiness and regrets etc. So many varied experiences from people with different nationalities, some are happy, others are bitter, some settled in fine quickly, others are still finding their feet after years. This is indeed a personal journey, only you can own it and make the best out of it with information and networks. The major lessons I could get out from last night reading is the importance of managing your expectations (there are positives and negatives), keeping an open mind to what you get, while still being ambitious and striving for better opportunities.

Do not be discouraged. Take this journey one step at a time. And see it as a training for you. When you have questions or have the slightest doubt, keep asking. There is no stupid or dumb question, only different levels of understanding. It is why we are here

@doctorfitz, Abeg the guy is an optometry technician joor, not O.D.

If you really want to use ICES, to be sure, follow up on your colleague here who said he is using ICES for his ECA, when it arrives.


PS..He is here on nairaland, he can share a screenshot himself.

Trying to reach him for a screenshot.

I have replied your mail.

Waec ish is not funny, but from what I have read here, WES is sure. You can also wait for the other poster who equally used ICES for his evaluation, so that we all can weigh in and compare, just like Law.

Doctorfitz:
Lol.thanks but some of us don't want to go through waec ish.
Pls u still haven't told us what precisely was on your friend's evaluation

Happy belated birthday dear.

Ifeoma77:
*Whispering*
AOR has been gathered, and now your watch begins.
It shall not end until your COPR.
You shall take no leisure trips, hold no feasts, extravagantly spend no more.
You shall wear no new clothes/blings and win no new babes.
You shall live and continue to live at your post - CIC website.
You are the sword on the necks of CIC call center agents.
You are the watcher on the walls of NL and CanadaVisa forum.
You are the fire that burns against the cold of LVO/AVO, the light that brings the dawn through NDVO, the horn that wakes the sleepers in OVO, the shield that guards the realms of SS.
You pledge your life and honor to Cannyland, for this night and all the nights to come

You can use your statement of result.

I used mine, it may be favour or not.

kams19:
so what you are saying is that I have no problem if I send my Statement of result.
because why I'm asking is that I don't have certificate yet. thanks

iaatmguy:
you own is good, me that to even type and open the profile i get scared. to add salt upon injury, filled london as place of study for ACCA, when the exam was written in lagos. since then i almost ask people to help me spell my name

I strongly agree with the bolded

bunmioluwa:
I don't think 8777 in IELTS is all about sense o, if it is many people will get it once. There are first-class and intelligent students who had to attempt IELTS 5 times before having 8777 only because they kept missing 0.5 in one component.

The guy might have also looked for 0.5 many times. It is well o.

Please use WES ejoor.

Doctorfitz:
My self and some colleagues are trying to take the ICES route but this one someone said they didn't evaluate doctor of optometry degree well.

NAwa.

Pls house if any one has something concrete on this issue pls ur inputs would be appreciated.....

Full story below

Decision to Travel: November 2017, after proper analysis of the inherent benefits.

Family composition: 2

POF composition: 25 % from pension fund and 75% fixed deposit

Post AOR:

- Provided reference letter of PA in desired IRCC formats.(no payslip provided)
- Thought it wise to provide reference letter for supporting applicant since majority of funds came from supporting applicant, just for 2 previous jobs though. Reference letter for current job was not included. Also no payslips. Wanted to keep application as simple and straight forward as possible.

A wise woman once told us that there is always something that needs an explanation, hence we included LOE to explain change of name, travel history and police certificate.

A separate LOE was included in the POF placeholder to properly explain composition of funds.

Interview

My interview was scheduled to hold 14th February in Accra. I was asked to come with just about everything pertaining to my application. Even the job I got after AOR which I didn’t inform IRCC of, I decided to take my employment letter and payslips along. On the interview day, I intentionally got there few minutes before so I won’t have to wait for long but I didn’t get called in till over an hour later. I submitted my documents at the reception.

The interviewer told me the purpose of the interview was to determine my eligibility. All of my documents were thoroughly checked (I arranged them in an orderly manner using office clips but when I entered the interview room, they were all spread out on a table). It turned out that they needed to be absolutely certain of my marital status and that I understood the implication. I applied as married but life happened and I became separated which I informed IRCC of along with the necessary document. The questions were mostly personal and the interviewer wanted to be sure that POF was still intact.

In the end, I was told that I passed the interview and I would be issued a remedicals request as the one I applied with already expired. My interviewer also said that due to the peculiarity of my case, a meeting with another colleague (abi their boss) was necessary but that I definitely will be getting an ADR before PPR can be issued.

Immediately I stepped out of the premises I switched on my phone and remedicals request was waiting inbox. For those of us at AVO (especially those who got interviewed), remedicals request is to PPR what John the Baptist is to Jesus. Right there and then I knew all is well. After walking aimlessly for some minutes out of excitement, I took a cab to a Chinese restaurant and gave myself a treat. Mama I’ve made it!


My journey was a long and bumpy one but las' las', na God win.

Same here.. I thought it was more of BC.

Infact, I can't comprehend again

dorothy0324:
...and i heard Otherwise, that BC loves 6.5

I will double tap into it.
