Rotflmao! To be a lil’ bit more “clinical” with numbers. Let’s just do some elementary mathematics. 320k/mth is about $1130/mth, annual $13560. Minimum wage is $15/hr here, for a 40hr week job comes to $28,800 annual income. On numbers alone (without relativity). Even after tax, still trumps the 320k/mth naija job. This is without factoring the “wahala” tangible and intangible costs and other things like life expectancy etc etc.

I think the expenses you'll run with minimum wage like rent, food, transport etc will finish up $15/hr salary in Canada, whereas with 320k in 9ja you can comfortably run all these expenses and still save more. But to me it's not about the money, but his wellbeing and the future of his family. He has to be willing to sacrifice that for a better future

chicyclass:
Not yet dear..

Transcript arrived 20th December

ohk. The thing is that a friend of mine called them last month, and asked ICES if they'll accept statement of results in lieu of certificate, and they told him they won't, that if they don't get a certificate they'll just abandon the application.

But then again on their website they wrote a transcript can be sufficient enough to complete an evaluation. So I don't understand them at all

234ng44uk:
I believe at least one year work experience is required to qualify.

Correct

chicyclass:
Yes they did mine..

which year biko?

chicyclass:
1. I uploaded my statement of results, Intl passport data page and marriage certificate(if applicable) * there is a placeholder for all. Status changed to "Application submitted".

2 Afterwards, i requested that my school send my transcript via courier. You can send via school email, personally i don't want stories that touch as they now have high volume of reviews.
When they confirmed receipt of my transcript which I sent mail, my status changed to "Application received".

3. I didn't submit any form to school.

What's the name of your school? Maybe somebody here from same school can throw more light on it.

Cheers.

Hi is your ECA from ICES ready?

Youtook:
This is what mine looks like. Should I start crying? Lol

no need to cry, in a few days time you'll be giving a completion date

cutiep:
Okay, thank you

you're most welcome

cutiep:
Pls confirm if yours is out yet and when?. Thanks

It's out since Monday 7th

Maritee:
Please how long did it take waec office to send your results to WES? I submitted my application to waec on the 13th of December, 2018 and I haven't gotten any feedback yet.

I even tried calling the courier lady for UPS (madam Ify) which I used but she didn't answer her calls until after a week or 2 and then told me she was no longer at that place again.

Is there anyone who submitted around that period and is also waiting for a response? Please let's rub minds together.

I created and submitted an application before the WAEC demand, so I didn't go through that process

I created an account with WES just before the WAEC demand, so I didn't go through that process

Edechlo:
@Debsify, was today your completion date and was it updated today?

completion date was slated for Friday 4th, but it later updated to 7th yesterday in my account.

WES ECA completed, WES isn't that bad if not for their WAEC/SSCE demands sha..spouse's ICES ECA loading...

CoCoLav:
@nomad26, please share with us why your ices took 4 months.
I wouldn't be surprised if the processing time increases due to the manner in which we have been encouraging people to go with ICES. Their volume of work may have increased without necessarily increasing the number of evaluators. Please let's make an informed decision.

Those guys can be funny o, their evaluation time frame is not straightforward which can be an issue, plus if one has a problem with their application they wont even tell you until after 10-12 weeks

etrange:
So WES promised to complete my assessment yesterday. Till now, nothing from them. The status is still saying it's due on the 4th of this months (yesterday).

Y'all should calm me down...

same here o

Brethren, gather together.... The Lord of host has done it!. He did it at His appointed time.
IT ISSA PPR... Please click here for the abridged version of the journey so far

fizzile:
Really? I am actually hearing conflicting info ...wana be sure so i can know what to tell her.

fizzile:
Please i am asking for a friend oo.. she wants to evaluate her B.Sc. with ICES. Please what is required, since she will send her WAEC result. Can someone give me a breakdown please.

bro she doesn't need to send any WAEC

TheCongo2:
And this is what I have been saying from the outset

boss no dey worry yourself, English hard!! Understanding is hard too lol

CoCoLav:
It shows received

ok..and it's being like that for 7 weeks?

wasseynewest:
Now I be like , where debsify get him/her own oe
!

the website is confusing, so best to use XE.com and put a buffer to the exchange rate

CoCoLav:
It beats me too. I'm giving it sometime before I call them.

what's the status on your dashboard and have they gotten transcript from your school?

CoCoLav:
Certificate - Front and back

ok cool, I wonder why they're taking time

SkyWalk12:
Online transaction rates are veryyyyy different from changing money in parallel market.

ok

freshdad:
I was only clarifying the different rates from abokifx from you post and that of an earlier post

I tire o...Why give myself unnecessary headache. But like it is often said here, whatever makes you sleep better

lol no wahala

Debsify:
ok

I think this is the best place to get FX rates sef not abokifx

freshdad:
By 1am today it was 272

ok

freshdad:
Not really, your attachment is for those who made payments online on a Canadian site while the former refers to the black market rate.

are you gonna present cash as POF for express entry

SkyWalk12:
That 295 weak me cos I’ve never heard it anywhere. Thank you jare. 280 for me is being on the extremely safe side.

some banks take very high rates, especially fidelity bank, because when I paid for my WES fee the bank charged me 292

Godisincontrol:
Find screenshot below.

I guess the website is confusing...the rate on the timeline below is different from what's on the dashboard. Besides at access bank yesterday it was at 269 or so

Godisincontrol:
To be on the safe side use the blackmarket rate to do your conversion(you can use abokifx). Going by that, its about 280-295. Multiply that by the 12475 and see if you can make up the balance(if I were you, I would use the upper limit of 295). By so doing whether there is an increase or not, you are safe.

Oanda.com and XE.com will give you a lesser rate though

actually its 267/268 presently on abokifx

CoCoLav:
Yes

which of them did you upload.. Certificate or statement of results?

CoCoLav:
Its been 7 weeks for me. Please let me know when you get yours. I'm thinking of calling them soon.

did you upload your certificate or statement of results?
