For Lawyers in the house, please never evaluate your law degree result with WES and try to claim Professional course or Masters. If your do This, your scores will be evaluated again and your scores will drop very low. If you want to claim Professional degree, jejely wait for IQAS or better still evaluate both degree and law school degree. People have had their application rejected in the past for this. Don't fall into the same trap.

This is especially for newbies who are about begining the process.

I saw someone posted a misleading screenshot from the earlier page, those IRCC agents can confuse your destiny, they are not visa officers. Ignore that tweet response.

Uchboggy:
Asking for a friend...

Does it mean if wes evaluates her law degree as a bsc she will update for masters on her EE profile and when she gets ITA she would now explain?

It's no different from work reference letter you'll find on page one.


And please, reduce your quote. It's too long.

4kingndcountry:
Good day to you Ma. Pls kindly help by sharing your format for NYSC reference letter with me. My mail is oonirane@yahoo.com. I already sent you a PM. THANK YOU, AND A BIG CONGRATS AGAIN.

Oh ye lady! Rejoice for you both seem no destined for each other. It can be argued that he has no real affection for you.

I understand you're heart broken now, but life goes on. He might regret his actions later, but you would have moved on by that time. You did absolutely nothing wrong, in fact, you were doing him a favor. Relax, you'll surely find your soul mate sooner than later.

Something tells me he's a mommy's boy who does not know What he wants yet, so let him be and continue your journey.

Let nobody born of a woman give you sleepless nights please. Your sanity is very important.

Queengrey:
Hello house, I intend3d to take my boyfriend on this journey with me. My points are really good. I planned to add him post AOR as a couple and we agreed. He says he spoke to his family about it and they told him not to go and he broke up with me almost immediately. He does not even talk to me again. Am I Wrong to have asked him to come along or to have proposed This? This is giving me sleepless nights and I can’t help but feel bad. I have started my process but my joy can’t seem to be full.

From past experiences here on nairaland, if you used that diploma to gain admission through Direct Entry to earn your degree, it won't be evaluated as two or more certificates. But if it was earned separately, then it should fly.


You can endeavour to do some more research in this.

IbroDante:
please can anyone inform me about my certificate evaluation (ECA), I have a diploma in biology and also a degree in the same biology, i used the diploma to gain admission to the degree, will WES see it as two certificate with diploma so as to have more points than just degree(bsc) in the crs scorethank you

Heya! Sincerely sorry you have to go through all these. Be more careful as you go ahead with your new application. Correct anything you can correct now in this new app and wrote a Letter of explanation if the correction is significant to backup your story.

esthernnanna:
I did upload a PCC but the expiry date was the same day I submitted the application. . you can’t submit an application until all required documents have been uploaded.

Please I'll like to understand something. Was it that you didn't upload your PCC at all that lead to the rejection. Or what our exactly did the VO have with your PCC?

esthernnanna:
Thanks for your response. So do you mean when creating a new profile I should still use the same information however when uploading the documents after ITA I can then use the actual information and write an LOE?

I also forgot to mention that the cancellation letter stated that the information on my EE profile is valid for 60 days from the cancellation date and that I can use the same information for the new EE profile. I haven’t checked to know if the information can be edited or if it’ll be permanent within that 60 days time span. Assuming it can be edited what please would you advice? Use it that way, upload the correct docs and write LOE or change it to the correct thing and upload the correct docs ( I’m writing particularly about the start date on my employment reference letter)

Thanks a lot for your help and response.

Shoot me a PM

Toshine2:
Thank you. I will however wish to talk to you if you dont mind.

1. Once you can prove the job is genuine, nothing stops you from using it.

2. If your work visa is also genuine, it wouldn't affect your Express Entry applications. But note that a lot of fake agents out there promise two year Canadian work visa. Be watchful and don't get scammed. Submitting dubious documents to Canadian embassy can hurt your chances later on.

WisdomSof:
Good morning everyone and a big congrats to everyone who just got their PPR.

I am about to start my journey and I think I will need all the experience and support I can get.
I have used the CRS tool and my score is 387

My first question is

1. Can I use an already existing employment for EE?( the job is in my field as an admin assistant)

2. Will having a two-year work permit which is already running,jeopardize an application for PR?


Please everyone, help a sister in need of direction.

Yes! Don't cut corners while at it. They ask for evidences.

Mummydd:
Thanks a lot, let me quickly do that. The issue has been bothering me o since. So I can add her when I have her legal adoption papers right?

Yes. Im in one already.

Titaness:
Is there a December AOR group? I'd like to join please.

Please edit out this your arrangee details. This is a public forum.

WisdomSof:
[God morning everyone and a big congrats to everyone who just got their PPR.

I was already in the process of getting an arranged work permit and job in Canada with a Nigerian agent before taking interest in the EE process.

1. If the above pulls through can I use it instead for EE ( we agreed that the job will be in my field as an admin assistant)

2. I hope that the visa that should come with the work permit will not jeopardise my chances for EE processing or permanent residence.


Please everyone, help a sister in need of direction.

I'm really sorry about your plight, this too shall pass. Still trying to wrap my head around where you made a mistake in your app. Can you please share the mistake you made and how others can avoid such in the nearest future. Was the mistake from you or from WES?

passionate2019:
For sure, its not likely to be this year. The limit for AINP has been exeeded.

Nomination certificate limits
The following numbers are accurate as of December 16, 2019.

Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) can issue up to 6,000 nominations for the 2019 calendar year. This limit is set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The AINP has issued all 6,000 certificates for 2019. The AINP will continue to assess applications in the queue; however, no further certificates will be issued until January 2020.

Approximately 1,900 applications await assessment for eligibility.

Information on application volumes and processing is available to help you determine the status of your application.

The AINP does not provide status updates.

Remove her from your profile now, this can be termed as misinterpretation. You have to adopt her legally before you can add her to your application.

Mummydd:
Good day all. Pls I have a question. My sister's daughter is living with me but I don't have her legal/formal adoption letter. I intend moving with her to Canada if granted PR, hence I included her in my Express entry profile. Can this be termed misrepresentation since I don't have any legal document for adopting her. She still bears my sisters surname, not mine. I will appreciate any one with relevant information on this. Thanks all...

Be careful about this watsapp group thing to avoid getting ban by the moderators.

TraderM:
Ok will add you

Good. Now, I see you're taking the literal meaning which I can categorically say does not apply in this case.

#1. You're not sending your IELTS results to immigration in this case, you're only creating a profile.

#2 We all know that with the current high CRS score, anything below Clb 9, cannot get you ITA, so nothing stops you from creating a profile with your present IELTS report card pending your EOR.

#3 EOR is not certain to come out positive. So is it not better to create a profile with what you presently have in order to have an edge with tie-break rule or even PNP.

#4 The Express Entry profile is made in such a way that you can always update your current status including your IELTS scores, meaning you can use your present report card, if your situation changes through EOR, you update your profile. (No misinterpretation here)

I believe with all these I've stated, there's nothing stopping anybody from creating an Express Entry profile before the outcome of EOR.

I hope there's some clarity now.

GBSS:
I think this screen shot may answer the question.

I think you're misinforming people. It is completely allowed to enter the pool with your IELTS result while you're awaiting your EOR. There's no statement in IRCC or IELTS website that states otherwise.


Please if you find such statement in your findings, paste it here for all to see.

NaijaGoingMaple:
It's a common knowledge. You may check IDP.
That you can improve your scores whilst already in the pool doesn't imply you can use an IELTS under inquiry as it's locked out. You can't use it, but you can register for another IELTS, obtain higher degrees or educational qualifications, take a second language test like TEF, garner additional work experience if less than 3 years, explore PNP and the likes.

The guy's story was recent. And even at that, there has not been any case of rejection on the internet.

Anyways, I rest my case here

iaatmguy:
it was accepted before, but I can't say it's still the same presently

@iaatmguy! See what I said about ACCA evaluation. The thing is that for someone who just wants to attempt any of the exams now, it's best to go with CIMA. But if a person already has ACCA, it's best to go-ahead with it.

MY STORY
DECISION TO MIGRATE

---

Growing up and coming from my kind of humble background, I have always wished to go abroad but how was that going to happen (local man had no clue). During my NYSC days back in 2014 in IB, I remember how myself and my guy Chris would talk about saving money and running to Dubai just in a bid to japa any which way. After NYSC, got a job that paid local man 25k in IB (the joy in my heart that i got a job ehn...chai..I even forgot about travel plans, may be bcs money was too small). Left the job and moved to Lagos 5months later (in my mind I don blow until our naira got devalued again)
Fast forward to sept 2017 was preparing for my final ICAN exam when a friend hinted and briefed me on this canny waka and how his brother was leaving in 2months and that he was already in the race to japa...Local man was in shock (but pushed it aside to prepare for my exams I had in November 2017 but there and then I knew this was my way out).
In the course of my research I stumbled on this thread in part3 when the likes of @Newmum (NOC matching specialist who was expecting PPR at the time) and @McStan visibly active.
The information here is “nmua”. Even my friend was shocked at how much I came to know in such a short while.
Got my passport in Jan 2018 and also registered for my first IELTS for Feb 20, 2018


IELTS

---

Booked my ielts with MOD and preparation began. Used ielts Liz, ielts studybuddy basically to see sample essays, watched youtube videos for speaking to get an idea of what to expect, used cambridge materials for listening and also practiced lots of Maps and Diagram questions on youtube.
After my exam, I booked another one with BC for March 3, 2018 because I knew my listening didn’t go so well because I never expected a loud speaker would be used for the test. LRWS-6.5,8.5,7,7
Second test was in Abeokuta. LRWS-8.5,9,7,7. CRS was in the 440’s at this time and because I was still expecting ECA report, I applied for remark hoping for a 0.5 increase in Writing and Speaking (waste of 15k after waiting over 3months and nothing happened. I doubt if a remark was even done on my exam sef...I felt these guys just repacked my TRF for me after plenty calls from me). I remember I had to sit for like 20mins to catch my breath and regain strength to go home because even my legs immediately grew weak immediately I opened my report and saw nothing changed. Local man wanted to cry...Chai


I wrote four ACCA foundation papers in about 3weeks in July 2018 but the outcome was one-semester in sept 2018. There was a lot of controversy around using it but I made up my mind to use it in Oct 2018. I had all doc's and ready for submission in Nov. 2018 but chickened out last minute and decided to go the extra mile to get an ACCA advanced diploma certificate by writing more papers in the Nov 2018 diet exam (those I did not write, I claimed exemption for using my ICAN certificate).
NB- using the one-semester would have still worked. I know over 6 success stories of comrades on this trip. If you have it and with no other option in sight, please use it.
3rd ECA report came out in March 2019 and I got ITA April

For someone working with Lagos state Government (Civil Service).

This journey that started last year has finally come to an end.

We got tickets a few days ago already, to land in January (in the middle of the winter), may God help us. That was the cheapest tickets we could find, plus our documents expire in March.

I wish everyone here Goodluck.
Hope to see you all in Canada.

Time to start packing

Best advise, she'll ace it within a short time. na money E go chop

ednut1:
before you do ican induction, acca exams etc time don go. Do cima foundation jejwly in 3.weeks you can ace it all easily

I researched on it some months ago and discovered people still used it. The problem started when WES started evaluating it as one semester, even at that, few people still went ahead with it and got PPR. The problem is most people now are not ready to take such risk. So that's why it's advised to just do CIMA straight up to avoid uncertainties related to ACCA.

Anybody that's interested in evaluating their ACCA F1 to F3 should use their hand to do extensive research, tweet at IRCC and WES if need be before going ahead with it.

iaatmguy:
I mean that of someone who recently evaluated F1-f3 for acca, and got a positive evaluation

People have used ACCA F1-F3 to get two or more certificates. Extensive research should be done on this.

iaatmguy:
ican ats is giving a positive evaluation,acca is equivalent to a Canadian degree. However, it must have been completed

Those on 472 that didn't get ITA were affected by the tie-breakijg rule.

Iphiegrace:
Please all those with over 472 CRS complaining of not receiving ITA yesterday, kindly update us on the latest developments so we can know how many of us are waiting for ITA. Congratulations and have a smooth post ITA journey.

It should give you two or more certificates upon evaluation.

omotola90:
What's the chance if one with ACCA

Check tie-breakijg rule. This might be the reason.

nolacozy:
Please I how long does it take for updates in the express entry profile to be transmitted.

I made an update like four days ago but it’s showing “update not submitted”

What could be the issue??

Because of that I’m on 472 but I didn’t get an ITA

It is a good monetary policy which is good for an economy in distress like Nigeria.

VicThory:
Is it for good or bad?



I don't understand

Why is everybody so anxious and on the edge already. We should relax small biko before some of us have high BP. There s no stipulated time when the draw is done, but we all know draw will take place today within the hour or few hours from now. So let us all just observe rather than creating anxiety on the thread.

shygunXs:
They just want this score to get out of hand sha! Extending it will keep raining the benchmark. I PRAY they do it this week sha, if not today.

You can't use any of those computer certifications to claim Points in Express Entry.

tizzdi:
i dont understand like what do u actually mean bro?....my question is can I evaluate the certificate?...CCNA (cisco certified Network Associate) pls i need answers oo before i go waste money

All these things are calculated pre ITA not AOR

Hephzibah2018:
My thoughts exactly....but then, what do I know, right?

I was faced with the same issue some weeks ago. After extensive research, the best decision to take was inconclusive. All through my research, I didn't see a car of rejection or a case where someone scaled through. But in reality, everything depends on the VO. A lenient VO will overlook it while a harsh VO can see it as not a complete 3 years and decline your application.

So the best bet is to adjust your profile to delay ITA till it clocks 3 years since your scores us very high. Ibdont think this thing is worth the risk. It will make you sleep better will during the waiting period.

This was what I had to do.

blissnenye:
I would advice that you accept the ITA if it comes. You did not do the computation yourself, the system did. However, do not submit your application until after the exact date you will complete 3years. Since you have till January to submit your application, you may even submit in January. Just ensure that your AOR comes after you have completed 3 years.
