Is there any reason why you chose ACADEMIC ielts? Are you using it for Immigration purpose or schooling?

If it is for Immigration purpose, it has to be General Training IELTS.

No need to add Organisation

Hello I guess there is no need to add organization right?

[/b]Chief Accountant[b]

PataAlhaja:
Good question.

The only criterion for recognition as a subsidiary is CONTROL over it. You don't need 50 percent stake in a company to control it. You may even have more than 50 percent stake in a company and not control it.

Google IFRS 3 and IFRS 10, educate yourself and report back to this thread.

I no get power to type, abeg.

For the verification part, an email correspondence from your school will suffice. That's what is required. The courier is just in case they don't respond to the email.

moneybag4411:
Hello all, una no gree answer me on top this matter. However, I've been able to confirm from a staff of my school, who called me saying they got a message from Wes as regards verification and all that. I made sure to investigate a little by asking him for the full names on the request from Wes which he got correctly (that kinda settled my nerves on the legitimacy of his claim). However, he said I'll have to drop something (understandably as n naija we dey). He also said I'll need to pay for courier so he can reply wes. I'm of the opinion he can simply do that via email. House, I'd like to know, does he need to send anything to Wes via courier again? I already sent transcript and certificate.

Please help asap. I will be acting on this today. Don't want to pay courier and later find out there was no need.

Sorry I am responding late.

Average typing speed is fine. The listening was fine. In my mind it felt clearer and gave more time for answers. Some of the answers are just clicks away, others are dragging and typing. So you should be fine.




Mauriss:
Please, how is the CBT version of the listening test? Do I need to know how to type very fast? I type at average speed. Please, its urgent. Thanks!

Thank you for your response @Topsmamen.

Just to clarify, If I have more qualifications than is required for an NOC, but the NOC is a best fit for my JD, would there be an issue? As it seems like picking a lower level NOC (based on qualification only). I hope my question is clear.... undecided


Topsmamen:
You can use more than one NOC but you must have full-time continuous work experience in your primary NOC.

I see some of your duties are listed in both NOCs. I would go with 0122 though as 1212 is mostly for cash officers as well as payment and account payables desks.

A point to note: An applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 7 by Ecanes: 3:17pm On Apr 25, 2019
Dear Gurus @Ifeoma77, @Topsmamen and any other person that can help me ooooo,

Please I need help with identifying the best fit NOC. I picked 0122 but I am not really settled. I have an MBA and ACCA and over 12yrs experience. I have 6 years in banking (Cash Officer - 3yrs but I do not intend to claim points with this as I do not want the stress of going to get reference letter from them but I can if I must) and I currently head a unit (not in the bank ). My JD is as seen below. Kindly help me to verify if I have chosen the right NOC. A friend says 1212 is the NOC but another person says my qualifications demands a higher NOC. Its confusing.

I also want to ask if there is any gain in using more than one NOC

• Prepares and regularly monitors the budget of the department, while reporting deviation to the Head of Department.

• Examines and approves posting of statutory remittances such as taxes, pensions, payroll and other statutory fees.

• Reviews and verifies accuracy of work and approves payments to staff and other vendors in both local and foreign currencies.

• Approves transactions tickets posted on internal ERP (Oracle) Account receivables after reviewing them for accuracy.

• Oversees reconciliation of all operating account and general ledgers.

• Ensure the Corporation’s policies and procedures for processing payment transactions are followed according to established standard operating procedures and make recommendations for improvement.

• Supervise monthly bank reconciliations and year-end activities for the department to ensure proper financial reporting.

• Processes the disbursement of approved credit facilities to customers and staff and ensures compliance to established guidelines

• Provides direction to staff members in resolving problems which arise with internal or external customers.

• Set priorities for team to ensure task completion; coordinates work activities with other units and departments across the Corporation.

• Contributes to the daily cash planning process in collaboration with the Head of Operations and executive management.

• Attends to both internal and external auditors and ensures that documents required are provided and recommendations made are adopted to ensure controls are upheld.

Just to share a bit and come out of my silent mode....

I want to use this means to thank God for freeing me from IELTS... I wrote it 3 times in all and God answered me by the 3rd time.

1st IELTS - LRWS - 7.5/8.5/6.5/8.5 (MOD)
2nd Attempt - LRWS - 8.5/8/6.5/7.5 (MOD).... I was so sad that day, I can still remember the feeling (Remark came out negative. I still have the feeling my EOR was not done because I had to remind them after the remark timeline that i was yet to get a notification for the result. Na the money pain me pass sha)
Final attempt - LRWS - 8.5/9/7/7.5 (BC/ CBT)

I must say IELTS humbled me. I was so sure I would make it at one sitting. When I saw my 1st result it was a rude shock. You can imagine how it felt the 2nd time and even worse when the remark came back unchanged. I thank God for the encouragement from my spouse and some other unknown people who wrote their experiences on this forum, I decided to really swallow my pride and reassess what the problem could be with my writing. I found out it basically my structure that was the problem. Jay's videos really helped me to fine tune my writing.

So, I wrote CBT(I chose this because I truly hate waiting for results) with BC on the 9th of April and I got my result on 14th of April. The feeling of relief was so strong that you could touch it. I know God was teaching me something through this experience. I appreciate the success more and I truly understand how depressing it can be when the scores don't match up.

I wish everyone struggling with IELTS good success.

Waiting for ECA now before we dive into the pool.

In all, I enjoyed the CBT process because we were just about 10 people. I did my Speaking on the same day (Morning session) and the rest afternoon session. Although there was technical issues that day that made the 1st set start pretty late which also impacted my start time, the whole process was wayyyyyyy better than the paper test for me.

Please my seniors I will be needing your help with my NOC. I will be sending it shortly. Thank you in advance.

Thank you. My email address is chiluv4u2nv@yahoo.com.


boco2126:
On this IELTS issue...my two cents.

1. Stick to a FEW practice materials! The number of materials for IELTS that we see on a daily on this thread can be overwhelming. Try out only a few and stick to the one that resonates with you. Don't use ieltsliz, Jay, Cambridge, ieltsadvantage, road2ielts etc at the same time (some of these peope don't agree on the same approach and reading all can get really confusing). If you try one and it sits well with you, ditch others. Focus on that one and be a master of it. I almost got overwhelmed at some point, because l wanted to open every link or try every material l saw here. But l had to give myself brain oh.

2. Practise everyday. No excuses. Create the time. Even at work, you can use your lunch break to practise. Instead of listening to music or radio on your way to work, listen to your downloaded tips on writing, speaking, reading, listening. When walking down the streets, have an earpiece on (l hate this, but we can make sacrifices for one month abi?) and keep LISTENING. At weekends, practice speaking with your wife/husband, friend, son/daughter etc. Write out questions and tell them to ask you (under exam conditions). I finished a WHOLE 30 leaves notebook for listening practice (yeah l work an 8 to 5 and live on the mainland with my office on the island -remember, no excuses!). Always check your wrong answers and replay those portions and find out what you didn't hear properly. I used youtube for listening/speaking/reading.

3. There's this ielts expert too, one Ryan (cannot remember his surname) that l think is underrated. I used his tips for writing. He talks about 15 sentences max for writing. 3 paragraphs with 4 sentences and the closing paragraph should have 3 sentences. This keeps you in check and you already know what to write before the exam, all you will be waiting for on the ielts day is the topic given! I can share his materials if you drop your email address.
For writing, write letter and essays! Don't read what someone else wrote. Write yours too. Some people practise writing by reading another's work -WRONG! write yours too and compare. Minimum letters to write on different topics - 10. Minimum essays - 20. Revise your work and look for better ways to reconstruct your sentences. I suggest you write with pencil on your exam day so you can erase if need be.

4. For reading - use youtube. It also has a timer, so practice using the time and don't stop the timer or pause the video. The easiest comprehension in reading are the first two. Spend less time there. Say 5 mins tops for each. You do not need to UNDERSTAND nada. Just look at the instructions (very important), then the questions, then scroll through the passages for the answers. You need all your time for the last two passages. They are more technical.

5. For speaking - Be confident, relaxed and know your basic english and introduction (see ieltsliz). See this as an interview. We all attend interviews don't we? I got a list of 42 likely cue cards from ieltsliz blog (l think she said they change it every 3 months but she always update the cue card questions) and l practiced the 42 different topics and l always set my two minutes timer with my phone. You can be in the BRT or your car and practice this one, or when walking down the street or whilst doing chores at home, or lying down in your bed doing nothing (l did this. Some days, people will think you are going crazy because you are talking to yourself, but...who no go no know). One of the 42 questions l practiced was my cue card during my speaking test -something on my pet animal (l was wondering "madam why me? Animal kwa?" but because l had practised earlier, the examiner had to cut me off when it was two minutes. I just went on and on.

4. Lastly and certainly not the least...the place of PRAYER. I'm catholic, so when l saw the prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino here, l made a mental note to say it. I started saying it every day from September till i wrote my exam on the 1st of November. I even added a 9 days St. Joseph of Cupertino novena with prayer and fasting which ended on the 31st of October (l'm that extra oh. I left no chances). I asked my family to add me in their prayers too. So, pray, pray and pray. Whatever works for you. Someone dropped one St. prayer here on financial assistance for POF, best believe l'll look for that prayer and do it too!

5. People have done it, you too can. Don't be discouraged if you have tried more than once. We don't give up on this thread oh. Being here has taught me a different level of selflessness and never say never spirit. People you don't even know are quick to help and empathise and l am still in awe of you guys.

6. Please drop your email address so l can send the Ryan materials to you.

This too shall pass!

All the best everyone and my apologies for the long post.
