Please , if I'm getting my 100% POF as a gift from my mother, is it advisable I buy treasury bills with it or just get a gift deed

Page 1 is calling you

cuteguy201:
In addition, I believe all official email addresses from Nigerian Universities end in "@uni.edu.ng".
Hence, the need to inform any contact we may have that correspondence to ICES should end as stated above.
Just my 2cents.

Yeah! I was wondering why the .com was used

nanaghano:
His bsc certificate

ok Thanks

nanaghano:
WES here, WES there. I even heard someone asking another if he has done his WES. Please guys there are 5 evaluating bodies. ICES, IQAS, ICAS, CES, and WES. Although, I don't need the evaluation anymore I just did my spouse's BSC with ICES and it took exactly month from when the document got to them according to the date on the evaluation report and around 8days to get to the Canadian address, due to the Canada post strike thingy which they have called off now .
Guys stay woke and alert abeg.

Hello, please did your spouse upload a statement of results or certificate for ICES application?

FUTO WES verification came through after 3 weeks

Hobyno:
Same thing expatriates in oil fields do and they are happy and comfortable 28/28

exactly, but most of them do 35/35 days sha. Also have a Canadian and Irish who do this too. Those ones salary no be here.

joo2018:
Mm.
Also means stay in Nigeria one month, in Canada the next month.
The stress of long distance flights, the cost?
If people are doing that, more grease to their elbows.

I'm telling you the stress no be here, but hey 17k dollars is worth it, I even heard company pays for his flights too.

SolutionsGuy:
Only few people are in this category, and 90% of them are not interested in migrating to Canada.
DrMrsCK is probably referring to those who are moving to Canada to get better job, to to make money or to earn a living. In that case, it's definitely not cost effective to spend your earning flying around every now and then.

I mentioned two people I know doing this, and its working for them. Another oga of mine wants to try it out, but age isn't on his side. Their major reason for not bailing out totally from 9ja is that they need the fat pay cheque and also the best for their families..

joo2018:
People do live apart. Each family has to determine it's values and stick to them.

To maintain PR status? Unless a person is self employed or in business, it will be hard to maintain the 2 out of 5yrs residence requirement.

Some individuals are comfortable with their families being residents and citizens of Canada while they satisfy themselves with just visiting.

To each their own.

Working 28 days in and 28 days out mathematically means in 5 years, you'll have stayed cumulative of 2 and half years..

DrMrsCK:
Not cost effective

Really? I know someone who earns close to $17k a month...he's a company man on our Rig. His family is over there in Canada and he does his rotation job with ease. Tell me how that's not cost effective ma'am? His oga at the base does same thing too and he's earning above him...

joo2018:
Everybody has to weigh the cost-benefit. Hustle and get through it together or try for one spouse to make it first at the risk of the marriage.

The system has a lot of cushions to help out. The kids are covered for school: free education. Provinces have a sort of benefit paid to stay-at-home mums. If your family income is too low, you still qualify for some benefits, etc. Hospital costs are covered (though not drugs) etc.

The critical period is before 4-5yrs when kindergarten starts. I know of a couple with young kids. The hubby does shift work. So during the day, the wife goes to work and he babysits. The wife come back in the evening and he goes to work at night. I prefer that to the separation option. At least the family is hustling together.

what if one has a good job in 9ja and it's a rotation job of 28/28 days? I think the person probably the man can spend his time off with his family in Canada and still maintain his PR status.

segzy14:

It is 275CAD for international delivery and 220CAD for courier delivery within Canada.

it's actually CAD226 for courier within Canada.

Another ill advise. What works for you might not be fine with me remember. I have seen many people credit Jay and when I watched his lessons, they all makes no sense to me, but I have never for once come out and tell people don't follow jay, that's because our choices, strengths & weaknesses differs. Liz has been a saving grace to thousands since yrs back like jay too.
The basic challenge I could say wrt writing is that it takes conscious efforts to picking the pieces dt completes the puzzle together. For instance, the Introduction, paragraphing structures and conclusion for all the different kind of essays( adv/disadv., opinion essays,
discuss both sides etc) are all in no way similar. Meanwhile there are so many linkers that will give any student a good ground if used correctly. This I believe is what our people stucked at 6-6.5 shld watch out for and make no mistake or mix up during the exam. And most importantly, this can be easily achieved through constant practice.

to me Liz methods are complicated..my spouse studied both hers and jay's method and eventually went with jay's and scored a 7.5 in writing, though she used Liz for the other modules and scored 9,9,8

Jasmine17:
@Bolded. Completely untrue and just your assumption. I partially agreed and even derailed in the course of my essay (check my previous posts after my exam), but i scored 7 at first attempt. Most sites will tell you that tackling both sides of the question shows you are knowledgeable about the topic, gives you more points, and vocabulary. More over, partial agreement is a valid opinion just like agree or disagree.

spot on!

Debsify:
wow..I think what causes WES not to acknowledge mails is because verification of transcript and certificate/SOR are done by different offices in futo.

As in they are sent at different times

cntabs:
Definitely not the first

wow..I think what causes WES not to acknowledge mails is because verification of transcript and certificate/SOR are done by different offices in futo.

cntabs:
email

That's great! Was it at the first mail that wes acknowledged or FUTO had to send several emails?

cntabs:
Guys help me thank God o. My verification finally got to wes after almost 3 months

From FUTO? Was it sent via email or courier?

canadiandamsel:
I had same experience. Ensure the verification from school covers both transcript and certificate. Before the last email was sent, the woman was kind enough to show me the mail. It should comprise of the transcript and certificate WES sent for verification and the verification letter itself. All the best.

@Canadiandamsel which university is that?

Teoyube1:
My people ohhh

debbydee:
ok madam.

For ICES, I think you can do multiple applications, so just start another application for your BSC. Mind you you'll still be charged another CAD200 regardless

Trunky:
I beg take am easy now. This no be PDP/APC propaganda debate when your tune go just harsh any how. See attached snapshots from their website when make me asK the question. Anyways I already have my answer. Thanks

Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I felt the requirements on their website is easy to understand...

Dannyko:
The exam was on a Thursday and today is the 13th day.

Oh I see. Thanks

Trunky:
Has anybody noticed that documentations required by ICES for Nigerian candidates ECA includes secondary school certificate (WAEC, NECO) and a scratch card? If yes how can one navigate through the rigors of just sending only scratch card and certificate to them as the school will always send your transcript separately?

Please stop mixing things up, ICES does't require any WAEC/NECO thing for post-secondary evaluation biko before they hear now and start demanding for it.

boco2126:
Waiting on BC today like you people should just find this result asap let my heart be at peace.

I thought results come out on Fridays.

Jasmine17:

BC 1st Nov 2018

correct..congrats bro! after all the panic it ended well..now na WES and their wahala. Last last we go jam for Canada.

drcynthia:
it's still fine...I guess they will send it to appropriate centre....mine took 3months (I kept calling them).....I guess they forgot it somewhere...lol...finally it was upgraded and remarking money refunded.

God forbid bad thing! make them no try that long wait with mine o abeg.

drcynthia:
Get EOR form from here https://www.britishcouncil.org.ng/exam/ielts/results

On the EoR form u can indicate the part u want remarked.

Your Ielts result original and bank draft of 15k. U can add I think a photocopy of your international passport. Send the docs to their office. Just confirm were ur state falls under. Lag or Abj...eg. Benin is under Abuja. So if u wrote in Benin, u Send to Abj.

I sent to PHC o, and from the tracking it was received by BC Ph last week. I'm awaiting the outcome sha.

Jasmine17:
Bro. Told myself i wont respond to this issue again as the guy was trying to be sarcastic and nasty even when it was clear i only wanted to help. But knowing what you have done for me, i will respond to you.

Make him pick sense from our convo if e like, no cares.

I paid WES N58k+ which is the equivalent of #207CAD for the evaluation of my first degree and Master's.

Transcript cost is not applicable as i would have paid same if i used ICES.

WAEC costs
(which i would have avoided if i used ICES)
Affidavit - did mine N200 but had to courier it to lag. In Lagos, it goes for N1,500 minimum, 3k at WAEC office.
Confirmation of result payment = N10k
Courier fee, Fedex - N10k
Stationery+Tfare+Thank you for my proxy - N6,000
Scratch card sent as a group - N4,505
Total cost from WAEC - N30,705 (as i didn't pay for courier of affidavit).

School A verification
Official payment to school - N0
Sorting to get verification done - N5500
Tfare to school for verification - N1,000
Total - N6,500

School B verification
Official payment to school - N10,000
Sorting to get verification done - N7,000
Tfare to school for verification - N0
Total - N17,000

Phone calls to WES on verification issues >N6,500 as of date.

Waec verification not done as of today, dont know if i would sort in the end to get it done.

Total from WAEC and verification as of today = N60,705 ~ 213CAD
Dont forget schools that pay N20-30k for verification with high sorting. If you are from such a school, you will spend above that 600CAD without noticing it.

Now, have i not spent above the extra amount for ICES additional certificate evaluation? I have done that conveniently with additional stress.

Did it save me time? NO. My application to WES is EXACTLY 3 months old Today. People get their ECA from ICES in less than 1 month after receipt of transcript.

Good analysis bro

Jasmine17:
Ok sir. No vex for my fingers. Na me make mistake comment on your question.

Je m'appelle Mindmybusiness

He definitely won't spend CAD600 on WES with all the WAEC palava na

Jasmine17:
My bro. D said it was sent on Friday afternoon. Expecting update hopefully this week. I appreciate you.

No wahala
