How many months until the "illness" is finally gone please?

Bia....... you wan hear in plain language say a Canadian is growing in leaps and bounds inside his/her NEW-MUM here in Nigeria?
Take ya time and let the sleeping dog lie if not.............. I reserved my comment.

Shyee:
CRS calculator is your best bet!

Crs calculator gives 14 points difference between Bsc and Msc for married applicant.
While, I read two different views online now that Msc can gives additional 30 points to someone with Bsc already in the pool.
So that is why I need clarification.

Please guys, what is the additional point Msc gives to one with Bsc already in the pool with married status?

Hello All,

My friend stayed in the UK for more than 1 year (from 2010 to 2011) for a master program. She has an ITA but she is required to attach 2 police reports (i.e. one for UK and another for Nigeria). Although she has the police certificate for Nigeria.
Please advise on what she should upload for the 2nd police cert. requirement.

thanks

PCC is needed from every applicant that have stayed 6months and above in any country in the last 10yrs.
So your friend needs dual PCC, UK & Nigeria.
Enjoy.

Ndkings1:
Yea.. It wasn't as easy as it was painted....

Oh so you are seeking EASY plans right? I say kontunu......... Do Msc, you don't have such time as 2yrs is forever for you. Do TEF, now it is not as easy again as painted. Mr painter and painted indeed. ECA and IELTS, you no gree do, yet you go about various tread seeking how to boost your imaginary scores, with your assumed IELTS and ECA. When you are given sincere suggestions, you jettisoned them with one lame excuse as if you got a better option.
Your case pass FG whala. For your information, you had better start somewhere, else this journey will appear elusive for you. It is well with you.

Tojued:
Thank you. Exactly What I needed to hear, especially the real life reference of someone it worked for.

Asians are the main chaser of this route as they are more informed about this route than we are. Although a hand full of niaja are getting to know of this route lately. The main discouragement is the distance and the inherent expenses involved.

However, I have seen more niaja on various online platforms eagerly awaiting the invite for this job fair, they are expectant as if they are awaiting EE ITA. Well such is life sha, different strokes for different folks.

HEADYWORLD:
Please, I want to know if WES can evaluate city and guilds of London certificate

Yes. if this certificate is at least a year program with at least two semesters. And if you can also obtain transcript for this certificate. So you have the answer now, act base on your response to the aforementioned.
Goodluck.

Tojued:
Really really trying to wrap my head around this whole job fair thing let's know whether it's worth the cost. My research so far is still hitting blanks.

If you applied and got invite, I honestly think it worth giving a try, because I know of a family friend that went through this route and she is chilling in Canada with her family now.
I think the province is using this means to provide workers to the teeming employers in her province, they allocated some of their nominations quota for this purpose. It's an alternative to getting New Brunswick provincial nomination. Although, I doubt if get crashers are allowed in this kind of organized event. Invitation will likely go out to successful ones by weekend, as IV are sent one week to the event.
In my opinion, if the cash,time and invite are YES, I humbly suggest you attend without thinking it twice. Remember this journey is not for the faint hearted.

tolfa:
New Brunswick has got their own requirements for nomination however attending the session gives you a tie to the province and can come in handy during nomination calls by them....the one for Dubai has hot some targeted occupation though, id your occupation is listed you can go and even get a job offer as job fair is part of the session....there is more information on their website...

Another advantage is that it is used as a criteria for their express entry program. As can be seen in the attached website screenshot.

joo2018:
All this stress for Nigerians. Meanwhile, Nigeria was the 3rd largest contributor to EE last year. I suspect we might be 2nd this year with all this interest.
http://www.albertafilipinojournal.com/2018/06/philippines-did-not-make-it-to-the-top-ten-countries-of-express-entry-candidates-with-invitations-to-apply-itas-in-2017/

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/express-entry-year-end-report-2017.html

But what I keep reading online is more VACs for China, faster student visa processing for some Asian countries.

From the data, so Chinese and Indians go school and hear English pass Niaja? Abi their own IELTS na in their local language? This one they both got more ITA than Niaja in 2017? Abi the 6.5 in writing score no waka reach their side?
It is well.

chizyay102:
Thanks for the response. What if i write a LOE and attach all relevant docs confirming my DOB with my application do u think it will raise an issue. I am not the primary applicant. What do u think. Thanks

If I were in your shoes I will do extactly this, instead of wasting precious time with WES protocols. So long you have convincing documents to back your position. This is my humble opinion.

ysteph:
This IELTS organisers in Nigeria are playing with peoples' fortune.

Can't be said better. I guess they are assisting IRCC to control Niaja numbers in the EE mission, so that we won't overstretched the quota on each ITA draws every fortnight. You no say our head dey hot for everything we decides to face with all might.
Imagine how the pool for dey be like without this 6.5 setback?
I am just thinking aloud sha, this is my humble opinion without evidence to substantiate.
It is well my people as we shall surely overcome all odds.

o2:
It is possible to click yes to Educational history and click NO for ECA. Go back and read his post, he never said he clicked yes to ECA.

Ok if you say so, because my IELTS skills dey on vacation, especially my reading prowess, that is why I say make him explain better in my local dialect, so that everybody fit get the koko of the matter. Na watin I sabi sef? Over to you @steve the 'Chief Questionnaire'.

stevo2016:
Thanks guys, someone said it doesn't matter since I will be able to upload her ECA number and result at the end of the day. I chose 'Yes' under her educational history because ECA is due for completion by 21st of September. Is this still equivalent to misrepresentation, and besides with her ECA, our score would increase from 451 to 459.Thanks.

Is it that you didn't fill in any number under spouse ECA you ticked YES to? If so, how was the application submitted successfully without an ECA number, I am asking this, because you said you ticked yes to her ECA and your CRS is 451 and after completion, it will increase to 459. I am lost here. Or was it that by your initial action, there was no point for her ECA to your scores?
You need to explain better, so that you can be advised accordingly.

Ebalu953:
I heard this September is the last pool till further notice. How true please?

This can't be true in my opinion.
The picture below speaks for itself.
Fear not!
Enjoy.

mynaija123:
Yes I can pay you
I am a trained cameraman and i have over 10 years of experience

I can see that you are really head bent on your asylum route despite the advice. To be forewarned is to be forearm.

See IRCC position on Asylum with this link for your information: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/campaigns/irregular-border-crossings-asylum.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=asylum_en

This thread is basically for those who are living in Canada via legit route (Permanent Residence), if their various testimonies can't motivate you well enough to pursue the legit means, I wonder what will then do.
Good luck.

Tojued:
Yes. (Except my memory fails me, its been a while). After my masters, my school gave me three complimentary copies. Unaddressed. In three different sealed envelopes. Stamped across the seal.

And then my own student copy for my viewing pleasure.

Wow!! Is this a niaja school This is rare for me especially in our government schools.
Well this is different sha with the multiple copies, as I doubt if you wouldn't had tampered it, if is was just a single copy considering the fact that you perhaps don't have immediate need for it.
We all learn daily.

Owlette:
True but will you forward something sent to lets say Uni. of Michigan to WES. Bro gats use his head na. Lol

When we give answers to others let's understand that they are not in the same level of understanding with us, thus we should give them guidance that will help them in the maximum way.
Let's also understand the question properly before we throw a generic answer without considering the peculiarity of the question at hand.
The question was simply centered on the possibility of sending the transcript he obtained for for his/her master he had with him? And you advise such person to go ahead.
Is is possible to obtain transcript for a Masters program, collected it by hand and kept it with you and end up not opening it? Your guess is as good as mine.
Years ago, after graduation from school, I immediately requested for my transcript with the sole am of keeping it with me to at least have my grades scores officially with me, on the day of dispatch, my school insisted that it must be addressed to an institution (school, organization etc). So, I had to opt for a neighboring school address before I could collect it by hand after much plea. Since then, I had requested for transcript more than five times for different purposes. Why didn't I send the one addressed to the neigbouring school I have with me?
It is obvious that it's not correct and not official as how do you send document addressed to Jumia to Konga?
How much more when WES have its unique requirements that it is on their website. So this is what informed my advice, as I placed myself in his position having been there before. That was why I also referred him to WES website, because after seeing those requirements, he/she will be be well informed on what exactly to do.
Again, let's not be quick to attack people's position as we are all here trying to help each other with love. As I won't gain anything misleading anyone.
Nice day!

abdulahi001:
Good day seniors, Please can I DHL my transcripts to WES myself as I have the transcripts with me, got them when I applied for masters.

Also, which is the most advised to first clear with, WES or IELTS?

efueh:
No No is the answer for me whether you had opened it or not, as transcript is strictly to be sent by your school to WES, to avoid stories of rejecting your documents by WES. Go and read more on this on WES website and be rightly informed.

For your second question, please visit page one and you will be well equipped on that and more. Enjoy!

Owlette:
Ahn ahn but this is not true now.

stonecoldcafe:
Please this is very wrong. He/she can send their transcript them self. Wes allows for this as long as envelope has not been opened by op. Op just ensure envelope is sealed with school's stamp across envelope flap.
Please read WES FAQ for confirmation.

@abdulahi001

Sthill5:
Very wrong!!!
I sent my transcript myself and it was accepted.
This forum is designed to give help and make things easier for people. Don't pass wrong information please

Owlette:
Yes you can. As long it is sealed and stamped by your institution. If the seal has been tampered with, you should get your institution to send directly to wes.

I would advise u start with WES. Incase of unforseen
Circumstances. I've been awaiting verification from my institution since February so u can imagine.

DonTee07:
Once the transcript is not addressed to WES with his/her reference number quoted clearly, he should not sweat it. Let him just re-do with his school and ensure its sent with his/her reference number and WES address. what do I know she, he might be lucky and WES accept it.

MaSisi:
I'm not sure the ECA will be ready before the expiration which will be on the 29th of Sept.

And... I can't update the ECA on EE without having it at hand abi? That will amount to misrepresentation?

Don't go that route as it will be detected because the ECA report has date on it that will surely differs from the day you entered presumed ECA info.
I fear your efforts will still amount to nothing as your application will either be rejected only, or both rejected and misrepresentation slammed on you. I hope you know the implication?
Goodluck!

30watts:
The delay is from Unilag don't be deceived. The staff generally have lackadaisical attitude and believe they are doing you a favor.

Trust me I understand how you feel on this.
But, that of my sibling (Federal school) and two friends (Same state school) are not in any way close to Unilag. Both schools are in the South South. So from this, you can see that there is a common factor they all share. The friend's transcript was received Wednesday last week, by WES, while others verification mails were sent on Friday last week.
The coincidences can't just be ignored in my humble opinion.
Again, let's see how it goes next week Tuesday as Monday is public holiday in Canada (Labor day).

GlitteringStar:
1. Tomatoes: $6.88 per box

2. Rice

Thanks for the photos so far in wetting our appetite for the landing gist.
We are staying tuned on your channel.

I love the fresh tomatoes! Lol.

MaSisi:
Please house what's the tie breaking rule? Make una no vex o biko

I have an existing EE profile that will expire next month cos hubby initially wasn't keen on the canny stuff and did not do ECA or ielts and my score was low based on age and low ielts. But I've aced ielts now, hubby too has done ielts, waiting for ECA which will give us CRS score of 441.

My question is, do I withdraw the existing EE profile and create another one or should I wait for it to expire next month then create it again?
Or, should I just wait for hubby's ECA to be ready before diving into the pool?

Thanks.

From your explanation above, I can deduce that your 441 is a projection predicated on your hubby ECA report. If that is the case, then your chances of getting ITA before your profile expires will be greatly determined by your hubby ECA.
Will the ECA be ready on or before your profile expiration date? Your answer to this will point to your expected outcome.
Don't delete it just let it run its full cycle.
Goodluck!

khinde:
Thank you for your reply. WES claims they haven't gotten a reply at all from school. Who is d liar now? Unilag or WES?

It is almost obvious to me that the customer service guys give generic information on this subject matter. As one clearly told me today that they don't have access to the mail box where schools reply to, so they can only confirm school mails when the evaluators had reviewed the mails and updated candidates profile before they can give callers update in that regards.
So I guess they have backlogs to deal with or they changed their mode of operations, hence the delays. Meanwhile, I suggest we just keep our fingers crossed and see how it goes next week, before asking school to resend.
This is abnormality is becoming the new normal for them.

EzekielMab:
Is this applicable for any country ?

Yes. It is for job experience outside of Canada with 3yrs maximum. While 6i is strictly for Canadian experience, so you select none if you don't have any.
Enjoy!

WES with their 'whala', has anyone noticed the unnecessary slow nature of transcript and verification mail acknowledgement in candidates profile?
Two friends and a family member that their transcript or verification mail from school received by WES last week is yet to be reflected in their profile and this week is almost ending.

WES....................I comment my reserve.

jhoci:
So is it a crime for him/her to ask questions on the other thread? Or to be a teacher? Please we need to stop this uneccesary air of entitlement displayed on this thread.

You missed the crux of the matter, he called himself an elder here, demanded for respect from a helpful and regular member here, with subtle insult to follow.
After which he went to the other room and asked a question, wherein he revealed his true status on the EE journey, that totally negates his self acclaimed eldership status. The irony of it is that the said person he was lashing, is far ahead of him on this journey.
Elders don't rub off their eldership on others here, no wonder our man Elfmanisback refused that title.
So understand the position of the fellow you are defending and see his comment below.
I rest my case. Good morning!

Another job opportunity for our sisters with COPR that are in Administrative or Financial field.
Apply and give it your best shot.
Best of lucks!

Newmum0615:
I am confused. Respect which elders?
You were on our sister thread sometime today asking about what it takes to be a teacher in Canada and how you haven't even gotten into the pool and yada yada yada and you came here out.

I also noticed his Moniker on the ozza room after spewing insult on a helpful hand here. Imagine primary school pupil seeking respect from an undergraduate. Wonders will never end.
Congrats on your COPR in your kitty. Please do well to visit us here occasionally just like sister Glitteringstar, Ethelia and co. As it shall end in Praise.

For our COPR elders in the house, kindly try this SOPA link for virtual job fair with Canadian employers coming up in September.

JiggyFighter:
Is she sure they checked with the bank or they just used a different exchange rate? Your bank details are proprietary information. As a matter of fact I think it would be illegal for your bank to tell anyone (except maybe the police) your bank balance or anything relating to it.

This is not correct as embassies has understanding with banks to confidentially confirm statements of clients of the bank requesting for Visa. This is why embassy's statements processing is different from the ordinary statements at least with its unique stamp. Infact, this statement finds their ways to the corporate headquarters of the bank for verification and this is done at various intervals. There is a designated desk that swiftly handles these enquiries from embassies in banks headquarters. So there's no illegality in this after all na you beg to apply.
