Pls does any one know why Wes request for warm? I have issue of dob with my waec and I am thinking of using NECO but I don’t know if the sch made mistake in registering my NECO too.. just wanna know if NECO transcripts displays age or if I can use my GCE instead.
Note: I had 7 credits and 2 Ds in the GCE

NECO doesnt send DoB to WES.

Hi house, I want to start this process of express entry, but I have been researching and I don't know if I am eligible. Here are my doubts:

1.

I will be 39 by December. I am married and my wife will be 39 by November. We have got 3 kids.

2. Though I have a MBA from a Nigerian university. My wife holds a HND (yet to go and collect her certificate, because we
married immediately she finished school and family responsibility has not given her the opportunity to run around for it.)

3.
I have about 12 years work experience with my state civil service, but wifey is a business woman. Though she has some skill in hair braiding)

With the above will my CRS,, score get to 400 and above even if we ace ielts?
... what other option do I have in getting to Canada? Truth be told, I really don't see much future for my kids in Nigeria. The country isn't getting better, no matter how hopeful I will want to be.
I really need honest input from gurus in the house. Should I be hopeful?

If you and your wife smash IELTS and evaluate your certs, your CRS score will be 433.

You've options to increase your points: write TEF or go through PNP.

Arosam:
Pls all, i need a contact of someone in Minna NECO office ASAP

Hubby will be 33 in July and i am 26. Do you think he should be the principal applicant since he has longer work experience. Thank you for the response


@TemiGee Why don't you start now. Hubby has HND and OND, he can get evaluated as two or more degrees with WES. He doesn't need the BCS. That will cost more money and will still be two or more degrees. He has 5 years experience, which makes him the best person as P.A. (I assume his age is not too advanced)

By this time next year. 470 may struggle to get ITA. Who knows. "There is no time to check time"

If you evaluate your BSc, write IELTS and get LRWS 8, 7, 7, 7; and he evaluates his ND/HND and max out IELTS with him as the PA, your CRS score will be 455. That can get you ITA.

Jennypharb1:


IQAS will evaluate just your LLB as a professional degree, which will earn you the same points as a master's degree.

Did you let him/her know that the evaluation will be ready by Nov/Dec?

samsonedos:
Hello, my brethren in the hustle, please I will like to know which of the following banks is best to use to pay for my application fees(IN TERMS OF LOWER EXCHANGE RATE);
- GTB
- ACCESS
- POLARIS
- KEYSTONE
Help please!!!!!!!!!!

Sterling and Ecobank.

Laheelow:
Please help! My wife has ND, HND in chemical engineering and then a PGDE from NTI, Kaduna. What are the credentials to assess for ECA so as to get the highest point.

ND & HND. Forget that NTI. Many have been begging to have their transcripts sent to WES.

YoungDharniel:
Hello All,

Please I need advise for a friend.
She studied Law, has gone to Law school and did a post graduate certificate in Management.

Right now she needs to evaluate her certificate but not sure whether to use WES or IQAS.

I’m aware Law students go the IQAS route but the time frame is very long (about 4 months), while WES takes 35 days.

Now, the major question is: Can she safely evaluate with WES since she has a second degree anyways? Or she definitely has to use IQAS?

Is there anyone with similar experience? How did you go about it?

If time frame is a problem and your CRS score is high, then evaluate your law degree and law school with WES to get two or more certs. Otherwise use IQAS.

Dare834:
Please help!

Neco has suspended verification till July 15th due to exams ongoing. Please do you know if WAEC is still verifying?

NECO has not suspended verification. You can PM me for a contact in Minna that can help you.

chukwuemeka275:
Good evening people,

Is it possible to apply for express entry and for a masters degree in Canada at the same or how risky is it?
I need to explain to my sponsors, as they are suggesting I do that.
Pleases elders kindly give me an answer. Thanks.

It is not a big deal. You can apply for your Master's. When you get the offer, you wait till you get your PR.
Then write to your school that you've PR. This will enable you to pay local fees.

Debsify:
so there are huge chances that they'll increase invites to over 4000s and some back to back draws

Yes. And there is a possibilty that the score will crash.

SonsOfLiverpool:
I have a question oh. What are the chances that the Score will remain at 460 and what are the chances of changing to a lower or higher figure? I would love to see the trend and history of cut off marks if I can analyze and predict future cut offs. Anybody please assist.

These are the factors that make the cut- off points to go higher or lower:

1. The frequency of the draws: If the draws are held weekly, cut-off will go as low as 420-. However, if it's held on 4-week basis, cut-off will go as high as 470+.
2. The number of invitees: If IRCC gives out 4000 ITAs in ome draw, cut-off will be lower; but if they give out 3000, it'd be higher
3. Number of people invited via PNP route.
4. Number of people that enter the pool weekly.
5. Number of people that land and give 15 points for their siblings.

To predict if cut-off will go higher/lower, you should note the number of ITAs IRCC wants to give out this year and deduct it from ITAs given out already. If whatever that is left is bigger than what they've given, there is a possibility that the cut-off will come down.

Guccigucci:
Hi house

I don tire o! IELTS result June 1st
2nd attempt
LSRW 8.5, 8.5, 9, 6.5

Imagine
I and my spouse are in tears right now

Help me pls!

Remark writing but also add speaking.

Nitrobenzene:


Please can you share the contact again. It will highly be appreciated

You can PM me for his contact number.

bukkie04:
Thanks so much.
I spoke with the contacts yesterday - Mr Omoyeni and Mr Moses. I was told to come after exams which is July 15th.

For all those requesting for NECO, you may need to wait till then.

You dont have to wait till after the exams if you've a contact in their head office, Minna. I have shared this info here many times but it seems some of us dont like to use the search bar.

Trunky:
My people ur advice will be highly appreciated. My spouse IELTS results came out this morning as LRWS 8,8,7,6.5. This is putting my CRS as the PA on 450. If she had a 7 in speaking, my CRS would have been 452. Considering the scarcity and importance of 2points these days, do we ask for a remark or just hope some day we will clinch ITA with the 450? Pls note that she wrote with IDP. Thanks

Remark speaking and writing. Goodluck.

Joromi12:
441

Then smash IELTS, enter the pool while looking for additional cert

Ladywinterfell:
Happy Sunday guys.
.
.
I've been dedicating enough time to read this thread from part 1 and i understand so many things now. My crs score is 429 (using 8,7,7,7 in ielts) but once I clock 30 this November it will drop to 424.
.
So I think the next step is to get another certificate to boost my crs score while preparing for ielts at the same time
.
I read this September is next Bcs in IT exam.
.
I have just one question please, with no prior knowledge in IT, can I sit for the exam in September. I don't mind coaching everyday from now till September. (I have more than enough time to study)

Check LRWS 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5 and see what you get.

SharryB:
Please someone should help me with answer to this o. A sister needs help.

As long as you were paid and can show evidence for it, you can count it.

boco2126:
My people oh, una well done. So, my sister's IELTS results came out today:

R - 8.5
L - 9
W - 6.5
S - 7.5

I'm advising her to remark writing as I am positive for a change there, but for better respite (and refund perhaps), do you advise she adds another section to remark? Which would it be? Thank you.

Remark speaking too.

firpemi:
When is the next draw please. Who can guess or permutate

My guesstimate is 457!

Bubblefairy:


Thanks, WES reference number and named boldly written in all caps on the document name and individual pages.

You've two.options if calling, emailing or contacting them on Twitter/Facebook fails:

Ask your school to send the SoR or you courier it to WES via FedEX/DHL.

teechedah:
How did you do the certificate for OND & HND for maoply?.I just pray I won't have issues with WES as regards this statement of result if I fax it to them.

You can tell Mapoly to send your SoR together with your transcript to WES.

Bubblefairy:
So, WES decided to burst my bubble and fall my hand, faxing my ND and HND Statement of Result to WES was the first thing I did after payment. My status was updated 'we received your documents bla bla bla', numerous emails and two months of inactivity later, I got an update that WES has ACCEPTED my documents save for my statement of Result which has not been RECEIVED. so status was put on hold oh.

Okay, no problem, sent another fax immediately and after about 24hours, my timeline was updated as 'we received your documents bla bla bla' again. Fast forward to 35 days of back and forth emails I got another update that all documents has been accepted except my ND and HND Statement of Result which has not been received.
I don't understand again ohh, please someone should help me out.
I personally faxed Hubby's certificate to WES myself and we are waiting for verification from his school, I don't understand what is going wrong. This matter Don tire me ohh.

Make sure your WES Reference number is written on the documents.

Temyluvdee:
Good evening all,

My husband gave WES instruction to send the verification report through standard courier but haven't been delivered since last year. He was sent a web link to share with anyone that wants to know/see his verification report. Can he share the link with any Canadian employer and expect it to be sufficient for their judgment against presentation of the Wes verification report hardcopy that hasn't been sent to him?

Please urgent reply is needed.

Go to the post office in your location to pick it. But the softcopy is all that you need.

akosh005:

Tanks. But will i have to go to WAEC office or how do the package go. And also when filling my details on WES website, about my mailing add, can i fill Canadian add since i have relative or it must be my Nigeria add.

1. Yes or No. You can go to WAEC office, Yaba if you've the time. Or you can send someone to do it on your behalf if you're not in Lagos. Or you can PM me for a contact in WAEC that can help you.

2. You can use Canadian or Nigerian address. It doesnt matter. What matters is that when your ECA is ready, WES will upload it on your account for you to download. That softcopy is all that you need.

akosh005:

Pls like how much will it cost me in this stage of evaluation of result. Including couriers expenses for both waec and transcript from sch. Just a rough estimate. Thanks

1. WES is C$227
2. Transcript - I dont know about your school. Some schools would require you to pay for transcript, courier and verification.
3. WAEC is 25k-28k.

teechedah:
Does that mean WES doesn't require or evaluate NECO for ND & HND credentials?

No. WES must request for your WAEC/NECO for any degree obtained in Nigeria. This process started on 3 August, 2018.

Probably, @Prettyamebo evaluated the ND/HND before August 2018.

prettyamebo:
Good morning. Please I have a few questions to ask.
I already have my HND n ND evaluated by WES, but i read somewhere here that some persons were evaluating their WAEC. Do I have to do that? Secondly, i haven't really worked b4 but I've been engaged in a paid volunteer job for 2 years plus now. Can that serve as work experience for me?

1. No. Your business with WES ended when they evaluated your ND/HND

2. Yes, as long as you can show proofs (SoA, Reference letter, or payslip etc) that you were paid.

Duchynwa:
Hi All,

Please, I need an urgent help with the question below:

My friend wants to do her ECA and the date of birth (DOB) on her WAEC is different, i.e the dob on her WAEC is 2 years younger than her real age. Though she said she saw this at the point of picking up her certificate and complained, but, the process to get it corrected seems tedious and she just ignored it.

My QUESTIONS ARE:

1. Does it really matter to WES that her DOB on the intl passport is different from that on her WAEC since WES evaluation is actually on post-secondary degrees and I would expect that they ECA report does not report age.

2. I have looked for solution too but it seems WAEC no longer corrects error on DOB since some people falsify their age. I am wondering if any one have ever used "Comparative Education Service: University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies". They are listed as one of the authorised ECA by CIC for immigration and they stated on their requirement that secondary education is optional. We are considering using them but wondering if any one here can share his/her experience with them. Also, she wants to verify her ND and HND and they require double payment of $210 for each credential and that's $420.
WES will be cheaper for us, and am wondering if NECO will do, as NECO doesn't not print DOB on the certificate.

3. Please, I will appreciate if anyone can advise us on this ASAP.

NECO doesnt put DoB on their evaluation. You can PM me, if you need help.

ladymarshall:
Congratulations.

Thank you so much for sharing your timeline but it just occurred to me that you had over 5 days since you last dropped the one line PPR notice (on May 15) and you couldn't inspire us with your script? You score 1/10

All the best in Canada

You're brutal. We'll 'dethrone' you. Lol

Avidreader748:


Please are you sure this is helpful?

Someone forwarded a case to me last night, her waec was rejected because it wasn't sent from waec. Her documents got to wes in March and was accepted. After review, she was asked to go to the proper bodies to send the documents.

Please let's be careful in dishing out advise so people don't waste time and money.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot abeg.

I think he is talking about secondary verification.
