IELTS reading scope. (worked for me)...
1. Don't think outside the box when answering.
The answer is always in the passage.
Most times the answers to questions are in a sequence.
e. g question 1 answer will be in paragraph 1.. so if u have seven questions you most likely will have seven paragraphs.
2. Understand Topic sentences...
All paragraphs have a topic sentence. try identifying it and underlining with a pencil. Often times they are always the answers. As the questions are always targeted at the topic sentence of d paragraph.
3. Copy Verbatim from the passage.. Don't try and use your own words. if it says A. give it to them as A don't add a.
4. Practice and watch videos on you tube. just Google how to get a 9 in IELTS reading. you will be amazed at what u will see.
5. True, False, Not Given.
True- The statement or idea or opinion was clearly stated in the passage.
False-The opposite of the statement was clearly stated in the passage.
Not Given- Never at all was it mentioned in the passage.

N. B Dont over think or try to use your idea to answer questions. Answer with what you can see in the passage.

and the most important point. Think about the score you want Tell God about it and never stop confessing the score you want.
Matt 7:7.

Please feel free to add yours....
Wish everyone success.

Like I said it worked for me and I pray it works for everyone that needs it as well.
God bless.

Part 2
Sorry I forgot to mention
Medicals.
It was at IOM Ikeja . Was very stressful and tiring.
The wait begins
After submitting and paying all required fees. The wait began to see if there was going to be any change.
It was more or less like a ritual for me.
I check my profile in the morning and before I go to bed. And I was constantly on this thread following and reading people's gist
There was nothing eventful; Until February 6 2019 when I got a biometric Invitation letter.
Did my biometrics and started another round of
waiting....
Adding Spouse
Whilst going through the process I proposed to my wife. She was never pro Canada at all; She over believed in Nigeria but God helped me change her mind....
My siblings had been asking us how far that is she coming along with me to Canada; I said yes but will probably do d spousal sponsorship thing and all.
But I didnt know how i would survive leaving madam behind if eventually d PR comes
So one night while discussing we decided to research on adding spouse after AOR.
We saw the different options (the internet is a fantastic place).
Then it hit me, we had to get married and do it fast before PPR
This was in April; So after getting the consent from our parents we went and got married at a registry on the 8th of May. And I raised CSE immediately
Pay attention it gets interesting from here
PPR 1.0
I hardly check my mails and I solely depended on the info on my profile.. (people always check your mails o).
I got a response on the 13th of May and the response was I requested to add spouse after PPR had bn sent

PPR(when,how) Abi these ones are sleeping nii..
I sha sent a mail to tell them I am not understanding and they should not make my head turnoniown
Then sth told me to check my mail. Alas I saw it. Looks like your visa has been issued date May 7 2019. I got married and raised CSE May 8 2019. Totally oblivious of the fact. God really loves me cos I am 1000%sure I wouldnt have checked the mail in the 15 days i would be given to present my passport
The response I got was to submit additional documents for my babe.

Village People 2.0
My Babe was caught in the passport brouhaha of no booklet etc (one of d many reasons to leave d country)
It took us over a month to get it and we had to settle ooo
But at that point we didnt care as we had just 30 days to submit her documents
We got all the information needed from this thread. We sent all her documents added pictures, whatsapp messages. We sha sent everything that will prove beyond any doubt that our relationship was genuine.
We submitted and started another round of waiting..
Submitted last week of May and paid her fees.
Meanwhile we had bn confessing daily that our PR process will be seamless. No interview. No ADR. No updated POF...
We just kept confessing
Almighty Accra.
I was bored at work one day and decided to ask where our VO was. When d babe told me Accra ehn. From Ottawa to Accra ke. After all d Accra gists.
Our hearts sank.. but we still kept confessing; that ours will be seamless.
My people there is power in confessions oooop; I then mailed Accra. They responded that our file was in a queue

Last week Friday. I received a mail for biometrics for my babe..
She went for it on Tuesday
PPR came out Thursday
I submitted passports Friday...
No ADR whatsoever
I skipped some parts sef..
But my people keep hope alive
Thank God for all situations you are in. And never stop confessing

TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 8 by damihayjay: 2:53am On Jul 07, 2019
Hello ppl.
Kindly get a chair, popcorn and a bottle of cold drink as this PPR gist  is a long one....
Firstly.. All thanks to God.... My journey is a testimony.
The Journey Begins
I first heard about this Canada thing from my older siblings... They had always told me to do IELTS and start my PR process and all but I never took them serious.

In January 2018,  I just got a new job in Lagos and the pay looked amazing for a young man who had lived all his life in Abeokuta. So when my siblings brought up the idea of writing  IELTS and starting the PR process again,  I just laughed and went pro Nigeria.....
Turning point
By the time the bills started hitting me gbas gbos from  April 2018 and Lagos started showing me it's true colours I started reconsidering my options. Canada won't be a bad place after all.

P. S. My sister introduced me to this thread as at part 6 and I can say I have read every post up till date...

WES Journey.
Having siblings and a forum like this really helped in gathering information that I needed.
I paid for my WES evaluation around May 2018 and It took almost 10 weeks for it to be completed...
I was lucky enough as my school (Private Uni) didn't delay one bit...
Whilst waiting for WES, I started preparing for IELTS.

IELTS hmmmm...
I Had written  IELTS twice before. The first was Academic and I got a 7.5average all thanks to the fact that I saw a pretty girl and lost concentration in my listening and couldnt answer questions 31-35.

I had learnt my lessons, so the second time( First time GT) I had an 88 7.5 6.5 LSWR in that order..

My reading was poor cos I disliked comprehension passages.
Then a friend told me he had 9 in reading. That was how ginger came ooo. I prepared seriously for IELTS. Focusing  more on the reading.. till I found the scope to answer the questions (u will always get a 9).
Village People part 1
After preparing so well for my exam..
Guess what, d VPA (Village People Association ) paid me a visit.
I completely forgot my Speaking test date was a Saturday and didn't realise until the evening of that Saturday.
Haaaaa!!  Ko funny mehn.....
Let me spare you the details....
I was allowed to reschedule and did the test and the remaining three.
Results came out 9887.. RSLW....

First ITA.
I got my first ITA October sth. Can't remember the date. My scores were very high cos I claimed sibling points like 480 sth
I couldn't get all the documents needed before the 60 days. So I declined. Re entered the pool and yanked off my siblings from the application as my points were still High enough to get me an ITA and it also reduced the documents I had to present...

Second ITA
Cut off was 449 Mid Nov. My score was 450... got ITA.. had all documents apart from the POF.
This took me a while to get. But God came through for me as usual, my dad gave me 95% as a gift deed and I had well over the recommended funds needed. (This well over pof will later pay off).

Submitted and paid the fees needed and got AOR Dec 27 2018.

Part 2 is coming soon.
The story  has just begun.

Good morning,
Please at what stage does one do the biometrics registration, is it after submission of the application or before. And what is the process.

How come u believe in the existence of Lucifer even Lucifer believes in Christ
sonOfLucifer:
ANd the story that a man that died for claiming nonsense 2000 years ago in some village in the Middle east is your saviour is not enslavement?

What if Jesus died in Africa
Born of a carpenter
Welcomed by three dibias
With cowries, yams and talismans

What if Jesus died in Africa
Faraway from Mecca
And closer to Abuja,
Aso Rock, his path on Passover

What if Jesus died in Africa
His cross made of rafia
Stoned with mounds of eba
Alomo passed to him as his soul crossed over

But Jesus didnt die in Africa
No eba was stoned at Golgotha
The son of David had no idea whatsoever
That there was a land called Africa.


God that didn't save himself from three nails 2000 years ago and hasn't come back since will save me from what?


HE didn't save all the Christians and Muslims Boko Haram killed in the North. HE didn't destroy the Boko Haram that was supposedly 'spoiling' His Name. Can you see how stupid your God is. Look at all the prayers and tithes and pilgrimage and time Nigerians spend on 'God' business every year and see where we are... Nansenz.. grin grin

Your cars, your phones, your language, your books do not reflect you. You fight for the Gods of the Jews and Arabs. You kill yourself in the name of Allah and Yahweh. And destroy the temples of Chukwu, Olodumare. You insult Esu by calling Him Lucifer. You insult Ekwensu, the great god of war and craftiness, by equating him with Yahweh's archenemy Lucifer. You are deranged, your history is broken, that is why your present is a miserable existence.
