Use CES or IQAS.

guess thats a far better alternative.

Hello Canadian Family,
i have got 2 questions. please your answers are appreciated.
1. through out (NYSC) Service year i worked at a law firm. thereafter, i worked for another law firm for 1 year. subsequently, i was recurited as a law officer for my current Employer. i worked in that position for 3years, though i got promoted 3 times in those 3years in the same capacity ( from officer to assistant manager). late last year ( that is my 4th year with the company), a new department was created in the marketing division and i was made head of the department ( though i studied law i am multi-talented ... lols). what do i choose as my NOC @newmum0615... please help.

question 2. while i was working full time i gained admission to do my MSC full time and i completed the Msc while still working full time. does this timeline affect me negatively? if it does what should i do?

thanks in advance! and yes it will all end in praise!!

Hi,
Pls when did WES receive all your documents before giving u a completion date of 08/08/18?
To your question,u can't submit your application without the ECA,but getting ITA before ur birthday is very feasible with your 462,so no worries

the next day. but i call them scatter... 4 times i think... lols. thanks for answering my earlier question.

[quote author=Matilda2609 post=69629888]Hello house. Am currently studying for IELTS. I try to practice at least 2 listening tests daily (I use ieltsonlinetests.com and Cambridge IELTS 12).
Am getting very concerned now. Never gotten up to a 36 (am always within the 28-32 band), in all my practice. How did you all do it?

Pls what could I be doing wrong. Can anyone point me to a good study material, so I can improve. Kindly assist. Thanks in advance. [/quote

tips that helped me score a 9 in listening. 1. those few seconds they give you to look at the next set of questions is crucial. i underlined definite words , key words like time, date, place, names, etc for example" ........will attend this year's carnival " i will underline.... this years carinval... why i do this is to draw my attention to the question and i know for fact that the word carnival MUST be said either exactly the same or in a synonym. Underlining key words helps you not to wander off also not to panic when the speaker goes on and on and you havent heard those words underlined....i hope you get what i mean.
2. the 10mins given to you at the end of the test is very very crucial as well. use 3-4 mins to transfer your answers to the answer sheet all in Capital Letters. and the remainder of the time, use it to go over your answers. your answers must be grammatically correct ... that means the answer must fit the sentence correctly. for example " we have diffrent..... at the library for rent". if the answer i wrote is MAP.. cause am sure i heard map when i go through my work MAP does not make the sentense gramatically correct... eg " we have diffrent MAP at the library for rent." but MAPS make the sentence gramatically correct, besides the word "diffrent" is a clue that there is more than one map for rent. another example .. " we should meet up at......... answer i heard or could pick is LIBRARY . inserting only LIBRARY doesnt complete the sentence structure... there should be a prefix before the noun. THE LIBRARY makes the question/ sentence complete/ gramatically correct.
3. there are 4 sections during the listening test. figure out which section gives you issues. mine was 2 &3. reason was my concentration will begin to waiver by section 2 and 3 . i realised that for section 1 i was ready for the test but by section 2... i am still wondering if all my answers in section 1 are correct so all my attention divided... this is where underlining keys words during the few seconds given before the section start Helps... because if forces your concentration back to the section at hand. thats all the tips that come to mind now.
oh yea... one more... print out at least one or two listening test.. it should prep you for how the test is actually written.. this way you can underline, listen, write. finally as others have said practice only makes perfect when you learn from your mistakes... ask your self what you did wrong and how you can fix it. All the best!!!

@deboks: please how did you apply for transcript (Law-ABSU)? What do I need to do? and did you use WES or IQAS for ECA? I dey your back, I hope to tell you congrats in the nearest future.
To all PPR winners, congrats and as is the slogan here: IT WILL ALL END IN PRAISE!

i used WES. but i have sent you a number let me know how it goes. its alot of money with ABSU 30k for transcript, 13k for courier. then the logistics... changing reciept, transport to bank, and thank you ma... also ABSU mandates you pay another 43k for verification. crazy crazy system...

can i open an express entry profile or should i hang on till my ECA lands.my IELTS is ready and WES says it will be completed on 8/8/18. Current CRS score is 462. my birthday is in September.

Congrats on the IELTS and ECA.
I wouldn't consider it a waste though. All things work together for good.. You might still need to do credential evaluation when you get to Canada for school or as a requirement if you are planning to work in a regulated field. All you will do is ask WES to convert your ECA to course-by-course evaluation. No need for transcripts wahala. I'm still on the ECA train for my masters only. But I will definitely do my Bsc evaluation before I land. So I wouldn't be disturbing people back here for transcript brouhaha.

thank you for your open arms!

You are welcome in our midst. Nice to see you that have read through the thread. I wish you speedy and hitchfree processing from here on.

Hello everyone. just joined this great platform of Nigerians helping one another. Its a beautiful thing to witness. so far i have written my IELTS L/R/S/W 9/8/8/7. ECA had been a battle. i was told to evaluate all my credentials. i studied law first degree and did and MSC in conflict Management. so this wrong info from a friend lead me down the "money spending & time consuming road " of obtaining and send transcript and then verification from three insitutions. ABSU, Law School ( Abj) and UniJos. form reading post on tbis platform i wish i had known better or was better infromed. i wouldnt have wasted all this time and money. Good news is my ECA is finally expected on the 8/8/18. lesson learned, i will stick to this platform for legit info.
finally congrats to all those who have PPR ...it has been inspiring to read through your journey!
