Hey guys,

I write this in a very sombre mood. I just received my result for my fifth ielts attempt.

L-7 R-9 W-7 S-7

It's been an excruciating experience, because just listening has been the issue. In all attempts it's been 7.5 trice and 7 twice in listening and I haven't had any issue with other modules.

I do so well while practising ahead of exam but it turns out a ghastly situation and what's more, a serious case of phobia on the test day proper.

I know few guys may have had similar experience in the past. Please, I need your counsel.

There are things you are not doing right. First and foremost identify your weakness(es) and fix it.

Send me a PM let me email you materials that can help you max out.

Hi Fam,

Congrats to all PPR clinchers.

I'm in a serious fix and I need some advise.

1. I'm about to enter the pool.
2. Just got a phd scholarship offer (for 3.5years) that requires I return to my country at the end of the programme, and stay for 2 years without
getting a work permit abroad or applying for a permanent residency.

Beloved brethren, what does a brother do at this time of need... Do I;

i. Reject the offer and wait for PPR. (At least I can derive some consolation from my present job (although I'm not really happy with what's
going on there at the moment)
ii. ...
iii ...

I need some ideas please.

Thanks a billion.

You can get a PhD scholarship in Canada with your PPR (in fact, you'll pay local fees if you dont get a scholarship), but can you get PPR after 3-4 yrs doing this PhD?

The ball is in your court.

hi guys does it matter if my two work reference letters are of the same format, since the Hr asked i should draft it myself

One reference letter can be to "Whom It May Concern" while the other will be addressed to CIC.

[quote author=jelmusboy post=72789552][/quote]

Contact WES US and ask them to transfer your file to WES Canada.

Evaluate only your WAEC (since you've a contact there) if WES Canada asks for it.

OneLegInCanada:
Hi people,

Abeg, who has used ONLY NYSC experience as work experience?

My concern is that 1 month was spent in camp, so time spent in PPA is less than 12 months.

Please help guys. My NYSC job as an Oil Field Assesor is skilled. My current bank job is C, so doesn't help me.

I want to use ONLY NYSC. How do I show the full 12 months?

Thanks.

Your NYSC started from the camp. Check your discharge cert and see that it is 12 months.

illusory:


Ok. Thank you. And yes, I am very sure! I'm just wondering if NECO didn't do it right the first time, what's the guarantee they will do it right a second time plus another 17k for courier. And scratch card has entered now...
No. I am not on ground right now, so I have someone pursuing it. Yet to see how that pans out...

I think NECO office at Ilupeju probably didnt send your application to NECO Headquarters in Minna to confirm the result and send to WES.

WES only recognizes NECO result confirmation sent from NECO office, Minna.

senola1:


Please how much did you pay for this NPC Birth Ceritificate. I got someone who is requesting for 15k and I feel it is too much for a birth certificate.

Kindly assist please and which LG location you used

Go to their office and do it. It is between 4,500-6,500 depending on your location.

Debsify:
Hello all,

I just paid for spouse's ECA with ICES, but prior to paying, I didn't upload her student copy of her school's transcript, because it's not ready yet, but what's giving me major concern now is that her certificate isn't ready, but she has a statement of degree results, and I sent an email to ICES asking if this can suffix and they said no..what to do?

Give your school the statement of result to send together with transcript since the cert is not ready.

Annybens1993:


OK THANKS. Quick question pls.... I faxed my degree certificate and statement of result to them and they are claiming that they didn't receive it.

when I called the customer care earlier, she told me that they do not accept faxed credentials. I'm wondering if i'm i suppose to send a photocopy of my degree certificate and statement of result via courier for almost 10k when i can easily send soft copies

More so, many people have been sending soft copies to them...why are they rejecting mine

Did you put your WES Ref no. on the documents you sent?

ontarioissauga:
PEOPLE, USE ICES OR IQAS IF YOU MUSTN'T USE WES!

IQAS? That takes about 4 months. It takes them over a month to open your transcript and 3 months to evaluate it.

ICES is the way to go if you dont have contact that can help with WES verification emails/mails.

Wokeyim:
Good morning house. I got below message from WES as per my NECO result sent to them. Pls what does this mean, do I have to start the process with NECO all over?
"
"
"

'WAEC Examination Results *Not Accepted

Reason: WES received your document, but it was not sent directly from the appropriate examining body or institution that awarded your degree/diploma.
Instructions: Please ask the institution that awarded your qualification or the appropriate examining body to send your academic document to WES in a sealed envelop that is stamped or signed across the back flap by the appropriate official. If you have already contacted the appropriate body, no action is necessary at this time. Refer to Required documents."


Pls has any one encountered this kind of issue before?

What the email means is that, NECO didnt send your cert to WES.

Where did you apply for your NECO to be sent to WES? I have narrated here the procedure.

ottawasenators:
Thanks for the kind feedback Ralph. Most appreciated.

So if ITA falls on this candidate by Nov 7th, na to reject?

No. Dont reject it but submit your application in December and also get your reference letter in December. By then you must have clocked 3 yrs.

Nasachuky:



Thank you, please what is LOE?

LOE is Letter of Explanation.

Your husband will write a letter that he is the one providing the POF and has transferred it to your account.

You can PM me for a sample letter.

Nasachuky:
Hello,

please I need advice on how to go about the application, I have followed from part 1- 5. I will the principal applicant, I am married with 3kids, I have 4years post university work experience, an Msc and currently working in a multinational firm.

My husband has a Canadian visa that will expire by 2022. He travelled last month to Canada on a short visit from USA.

My question is this I will be using his account as proof of fund should I also include his account in USA and should I also include him in my application since he already has a Canadian visa. Help me out

1. Since you are going to be the PA, let your husband transfer POF for a family of 5 into your account and do LOE to that effect.

2. Add him to your application and if he's not coming to Canada with you, put him as unaccompanying.

Fshady:
Elders in this house, i hail o. please i need urgent help. Hubby is an unaccompanying spouse and i am the primary applicant travelling with a toddler. My question is our POF is domiciled in hubby's account. He wants to get an affidavit to indicate that he is the one sponsoring our relocation and i have access to the said fund. Is this acceptable please. Someone please bail me out of my misery biko.

Your hubby should transfer the fund into your account and write LOE to that effect.

Keep your application SIMPLE!

olujastro:
I did ielts last month and my CRS is 438 at the moment, 2 points below the current 440. If I wait till July/Aug next year my CRS will be 473 courtesy of masters and age.
My initial plan was to wait till next year before entering pool, but my friends have been putting pressure on me to use my Nigerian BSc and apply instead, citing unfounded fears that things can change really fast by next year (EE could stop, the process and required documents can become more difficult, etc.).

The problems I have with using my naija BSc is the unnecessary stress and cost of verifying transcripts. Having to put enormous pressure on people and bribe them to do their jobs that they're paid to do is sickening to me. With European degrees, it's about one click away at almost no cost. So I'll be happy to avoid all the naija wahala especially with WES now demanding WAEC for Nigerian degrees.

Any chance the cut off will drop below 440? What's the pattern like for cut offs...does it increase or decrease at the beginning or end of the year?
Any advice if you were in my shoes?

You better evaluate your naija BSc using ICES and enter the pool because one of the draws to be held in Dec., CRS score cut-off will be 422.

Jenncamp:
Please which organisation cAn l use for my ECA I Have a certificate Three years in school of nursing

TheBeat:

Bobomaigida:
Please I am still on the look out for a contact that can help with transcript processing at FUTO, please if you know or have anyone, kindly reach out to me. Thank you

Search for FUTO transcript here on nairaland and follow the info.

Omonoba1981:


But I already made payment for WES and the UI verification part has been completed. Just wanted to be sure if the RN certificate will add any advantage to my Express Entry.

I also change the document by document to course by course instead. The reason is I might be using it for Nursing society in Canada.

For immigration purposes...it is document by document, otherwise you will just waste your money and time.

JadonOVB:


Pls feel me in...
Been going through this stuffs for months now...

I HAVE MY MASTERS DEGREE & MY WIFE HAS A DEGREE IN FRENCH (B.A.)

I need to confirm if as the Primary applicant,
(1) my WAEC result must be sent to WES
(2) My wife must also evaluate her result with WES?
(3) I must have had the required money in my account for up to 6 months?
(4) & finally, reference letter must be provided for NYSC?

Pls help me with info...
Thanks in advance!

1. Yes if you obtained your degree in Nigeria.
2. The same as 1 above.
3. Not a must. Some people even use gift deed.
4. Yes if you want to claim work experience for the NYSC, otherwise no.

DawnM024:
Hello House,

Silent follower - something i read here made me wonder if i may have misrepresented myself. I was refused visa to Uk some odd 6yrs ago on grounds of insufficient travel funds and asked to submit with sufficient(no refusal stamp). I did that immediately and got Visa 3wks later. I have gone on to obtain 3 additional visas including an active 2 year visa plus 2 other 2year US visa. This was my first attempt at outside ECOWAS travel.

My question is - is there a way to mention this now, though i have no indication on passport and i cant find any email or letter concerning the incidence.

Biometrics done plus MEP and background check says ongoing.

It never occurrred till i read it here yesterday. Please help i am in panic mode.

Thanks alot.

If you paid another visa fee for the one that was approved, then it was a refusal.

pejuhazel:
Hi, please what is the best way to contact WES. They sent me an evaluation update last week and I noticed they made a mistake in my address and since that's where they are supposed to send the report to, I filled the contact form on their website but I'm yet to get a response. So please if there's any other way I can contact them to correct the error, let me know. Thanks

Contact them on Twitter. They respond faster there.

Bola2202:
Dear all,
Thanks for responding to all my enquiries. Assuming I claimed to be married as I am not legally separated as there is no legal document to back it up for now and the divorce process is a little bit slow in Nigeria. If I claim spouse non-accompanying, what are the documents I need to produce apart from PCC in all the countries he has lived in and medicals keeping in mind as he won't be writing IELTS for obvious reasons? How much POF will I need if I 'll be taking a child with me or they will still expect me to show POF for a family of three? The third question is that after getting PR, can I submit my divorce papers?
CC: @joo2018, @bellniki01 @ArcUgo and all my chiefs. Hoping to hear from you soon.

1. POF for family of 3.
2. PCC & Med for him
3. Data page of his intl passport
4. Reason(s) why he's not accompanying you to Canada.

drcynthia:
Biko, pls anyone... Everyone, how do I pay for my app fee... I don't have a credit or dollar account. Just ATM. I tried first bank MasterCard.... It didn't work.
Pls help a sister out..... Amount is $2700 for family of 5

Use Access or GTB.

55emem55:
Please guys, any comments on this? Where can I do the birth attestation letter in Lagos. I'm based in Ikeja, but born in Surulere.

Go to any NPC office near you. Location doesnt matter.

samnijazz:
Good day Peeps, pls I want to get clarification on the best agency(IQAS, WES OR ICAS) to use for ECA for a polytechnic graduate with ND and HND in Mass Communication.

Thank you very much

If you use WES, you will pay $207 for the 2 certificates but you must also evaluate your WAEC/NECO.

WES also needs to send verification email/mail to your school & WAEC/NECO. This is where the time wasting lies.

If you use ICES, you will pay $200 for each certificate plus $75 for international shipping, making it $475 (in your case).

ICES doesnt request the evaluation of your WAEC/NECO. They dont send verification email like WES. They also allow your school to send your transcript to them via official email address.

Forget IQAS & ICAS...they are time 'wasters.'

shuddyy:
Dearest Brothers & Sisters,
I have been reading up this thread from page0; I'm somewhere around page 150 but i kindly need your help with responses to these specific enquiries.

I worked in a bank from 2007 till my disengagement due bankwide staff rationalization of 2016. I rose through the hierarchy up to a Service Manager position. Considering that I'm no more in the employment of this organization can I still claim the 10years I worked with them as years of experience for the EE evaluation? Will the bank provide me a reference letter covering these years of experience with the bank?

After my exit from the bank, I registered a company with Farming business as one of the registered services of the company. We basically operated a poultry farm though I also own and manage some hectares of land for crop farming. Can I also claim these years of experience under the job type skilled trade (supervisors and technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture and related production NOC codes that start in 82)?
If yes this will imply I will be writing a reference letter on behalf of myself. Will that be tenable?

Please advice.
Many thanks!

The years you need to get maximum points for employment is 3 years.

To keep your application simple, just claim the work experience in the bank and let the bank write reference letter for you.

In your personal history, then state you're now a business owner. You can also write LOE to that effect.

Frankrobbn1:


The applicant is asking if he can renew his passport before submitting to CIC for visa stamping and not the other way round. Therefore, the answer should be NO, when he has finally received his stampped Canadian visa passport he can then apply for a renewal.

The validity of his passport determines the length of his visa. Let me rephrase, if his passport has one month validity, CIC will issue one month visa for him.

And when he applies for renewal at NIS, he will be issued a new passport and NIS will render the old one invalid.

Do you get the point now? The decision is his to make.

LolaAkins:
okay, but I have RN and RPhn- these two are diplomas. Will wes evaluate it as two or more certificate or just bachelor of science? This is because Iqas evaluate the two RN, Rphn as two certificate. I just don't know if I should include the Bsc or not. Thanks

IQAS is a 'notorious time waster.' Read a post by Shyee to get more insight about evaluating nursing degrees.

LolaAkins:
Yes, the program was inclusive. And each has its different transcripts and certificate. Thanks

If you have BSc Nursing, WES can evaluate it favourably. But if you want to avoid WES WAEC/NECO B.S, kindly use ICES.
