Hmmm... I'm scared of boys.... Lol
That's not my date tho.. Dat date didn't favor me at all.

Scared of boys? And the date... Okay. No qualms. Enjoy!

Mekanus:
This is the kind of thieving that normally interests me.

Do the crime, and be ready to do the years.... I hope you will also find a kind of prison that will interest you to serve the jail terms...?

After talking for about 2 minutes during the part 2 of the speaking test, the examiner dozed off apparently, or rather obviously due to exhaustion.

I had observed him/her do this intermittently, however, I couldn't do anything so as not to be captured on the recorder.... Mehn, after the 2 minutes, I gently tapped on the table to wake him/her and we continued from there. I wanted to use my legs but we are far apart.

Don't tell me s/he doesn't grade it, otherwise what do they scribble on the piece of paper they have with 4 columns which seem to tally with the 4 band descriptors??

Have been thinking about it...

SQLmastar:
I hope this meeting is just superficial oo, nothing deep ooo, to avoid stories dat touch.

Your mind is kworupt, walahi... I know she's married na... At least a combined "buhahahahaaha" with her won't be bad na...

Hephgirl:
amen my love.... Chai see as I'm excited as if na me get copr

You've been scarce here. Sent you a pm if you don't mind meeting at the test venue on Saturday... @Kingoliza.

nanny2017:
Hello House. I appreciate your good works on this forum.

Please I have a quick question. I intend using my NYSC work experience (Secondary school Mathematics teacher) to get points for my work experience. It is stated on the cic NOC website that one of the employment requirements is Bachelors in Education. My question is, can I still get points for this even though I have Bachelor of "Science" in Mathematics not in Education

Thanks.

I hope you're not mixing up this with Australian requirements...

Please can you share the link where you read this from on CIC website... @the bolded.

Hello great people,
For WES assessment is it photocopy of my transcript I should send to them or original. I intend to use the original transcript for other application outside EE.

Hmmmmh. Photocopy of your transcript sent by you? I understand you have a copy of your transcript already, but you can't use it for WES evaluation. It must be sent directly by your institution.

By the way, try reading up page 0 and use the search button to query the thread before resorting to folks for clarification.

I even doubt you have visited WES website at all.

He is just a dear friend

Who else can be privy of an information that's not yet on the public domain if not a dear friend?

John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ as.............. is the forerunner of Cochtrane.

Since he hasn't updated us yet, kindly extend my congratulations to him oooo

Now back to the main question. Is it possible to use two sitting for ielts. As in two results?
Lets say i have 8.5 8.5 7 6.5 and i have 8 7 6.5 7.

Plx seniors epp here.
@santino1 @glitteringstar @40manlappy. Shey make i add @canadianfly an boss13?

For Canadian immigration, the answer is NO. If it were so, guys for no dey pop 68k anyhow like that.

I think I've read somewhere here that you can combine for Australian PR if you don't go below 6.5 in any of the sections for the results you intend to use. I can't recall who posted that. But Australian PR has its own wahala in terms of work experience aligning with qualifications and it's more expensive too.

GlitteringStar:
Nay. Not available. Thanks

Reverse psychology at work...

So someone cannot matchmake again in peace.

codebrew85:
You mean 30 days after receiving your second acknowledgement mail? That's quite impressive going by their current yeye processing time. I wonder what they are processing that should take 9 weeks! I got my second mail on the 11th of October, 2017 but yet to receive my ECA report . It's over a month already. These IQAS guys just dey vex me sha. Please can you share your IQAS timeline. I don miss plenty ITA cos of them. Mstcheew

Please don't misconstrue the 30 days. It's actually 30 working days. My IQAS ECA timeline as you you requested below:

Paid for application and documents faxed = 12th July
Faxed documents delivered = 13th July
Confirmation of receipt/first mail = 27th July
Transcript request from school = 14th July
Transcript delivered = 3rd August
Confirmation/second mail = 31st August
ECA received = 12th October.

Relax bro. The process is not under your control, unless you want to cancel it and ask for a refund. This might even take longer, so you better give that a miss.

Myredeemerlives:
After feeling my card details, it kept bringing back the page. Or am I suppose to fill the billing address and all that.

Of course, yes.

Myredeemerlives:
Please gurus attend to me

Maybe a better narration of the error message will help narrow down the cause.

With the increase to $1000 monthly limit on GT Bank naira card for international transactions, the payment ought to go through. Do ensure you have a balance in excess of the required amount in your account.

Ethelia:
thanks for sharing that, it's really encouraging. Sent my transcripts and documents 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for acknowledgment email. Sent them a mail yesterday asking for an update and they told me to wait for 4 weeks �

You're welcome dear.

The journey truly needs lots of patience, contrary to the "sharp sharp" ways we want things here in Naija.

Saintp:
Na waa ooo. So if it takes 3 weeks for them to send the acknowledgement of the transcript receipt, the processing time will now be 12 weeks ((9+3)? This is not encouraging at all.

Yes. But in some cases, as was with mine, it didn't get to 9 weeks. It was just 30 days from the day the second mail came.

You might even get it before the 9 weeks elapses. Just take some chill pills bro.

Hephgirl:
.. Konji fall on u.. Buhahahahhah
Even ur pillow will look all feminine and all

Buhahahhahaha... Is that how you used to do?

Better IELTS result fall on me joor...

maworld:
Grateful...to everyone that posted ielts preparation hints,materials and words of wisdom.
My result just came in,First and final attempt LRWS 8.5,8.5,7,7

Preparation time before exam...5days leave from work.
Thank you guys,you motivated me to push.

Fine result.

Congrats.

Saintp:
Is IQAS 9 weeks processing time from the day the receive all your documents or from the time you receive a mail from them stating they have received it?

It starts from the day their second email comes confirming receipt of your transcript (assuming you have earlier faxed your application, certificate, passport and got acknowledgement receipt for that).

Santino1:
Did you just say Thai? I hope person no go carry Caitlyn go house.

Hahahahaha. When eye clear you go know say na Bruce. But then she will be like... "Don't forget, I'm Cait"

cochtrane:
Why should you stress over Canadian babes when there is a ton of other nationalities present? I'm sure a Thai babe, for example, will mingle easily.... Just saying

Choi! With all the tales of extreme cold temperatures... I see... So, there's light at the end of the tunnel after all.

Canadianfly:
Mon ami cheri ko, mon ami banana ni

I'm glad the singletons are being proactive by tryna hook up a mate before landing the land of konji Canada

Madam abeg help us torchlight the bolded...A friend of mine that studied in Canada also said something of that sort, but I quickly waved it off.

Canadian babes no dey gree mingle with migrants? Wetin person fit offer them sef wey go make them fall for you? Will those our regular lines I crammed back then still work?

Just wondering

GlitteringStar:
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!!!!! I'm not an ambulance. I'm just ecstatic. My EOR is back!!!!!!!!!!!

...and BC just lost a customer for life.

I also pray to breakup with BC before the year runs out by God's grace.

Congrats.

Hephgirl:
u like shouting sha...
So all I typed was waste of time abi?
I've crammed ur moniker.. I won't reply u again

Yes I'm petty

@The bolded... That feeling when your lecturer caught you cheating during an exam and says... "I have crammed your reg number, I will make sure you carry the course over"...

Please tamper justice with mercy...

Aig84:
I personally won't encourage the bolded, I think answering in upper case is best. In the case of Nouns as answers, I'm not sure it would be wise to start the spelling with lower case. My opinion though.

Irrespective of whether the answer is a noun or not, once you adopt the lower case style, you need to maintain it all through. The answer will be correct so long as the spelling is right.

You may confirm from British Council's website https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/prepare-your-test/test-day-advice/listening-test-advice

In summary, it's only advisable to go with the option of upper case letters for legibility for both listening and reading sections in case your handwriting might put the examiner in a situation of doubt.

chizilulu:
To be honest, I was shocked at my Listening score. I expected something better. I think I mixed up the answers in the maps section (in section 3 i suppose). So i am practising maps and diagrams and other little common mistakes like pluralising words and writing in capitals where necessary. I also go back to check the ones i did not get right after each practice and learn why. Its better to make all the mistakes now.

The bolded should not pose a problem at all. Simply give ALL your answers in either UPPER CASE or lower case to avoid losing mark for capitalization.

tosinkay:
Good morning house, nice work here guys and GOD will take us all to the dream land. Please is there anyone in the house that can help me with Transcript from University of Nigeria Nnsuka? I just want to know the procedure and i will like to get it by hand so that i can mail it with other documents to WES.

Thanks

You don't need to get your transcript yourself because you will risk rejection of the transcript by WES. Apply online at https://alumni.unn.edu.ng/itranscript Let the school send it directly to WES and ensure you attach the transcript request form with your WES reference number clearly written on it.

Search for WES fax number and send any other document via one of the numerous free online faxing websites.

The cost of sending UNN transcript outside Nigeria is 35k and since you're using WES, you will pay additional 10k for verification.

A thunderous congratulations to all those with PPR... I feel so happy as though I was the one that got it...

More happy because it's not by "connection" as we are used to here... But by merit and God's grace not minding your background nor family name.

Meanwhile, I've got here a very cost effective way of "porting" for those of you that intend to land this year... Just choose the one you feel is faster and cheaper... Lol.. Offer valid while stock lasts...

Madcow:
Practice with www.mini-ielts.com

If you had challenges during the listening or you are not confident, complete a complaint form immediately after the test... check the results on Friday morning... if you aren't happy, you can play your complaint as a joker... redo just the listening in 7 days...

Please can you explain what you mean exactly by this? If one can fill a complaint form and get to redo the listening section, why haven't many taken advantage of that? Don't forget that a lot of people will know if their performance in the listening was good for them or hopeless immediately after the test... And a lot of sound check is conducted before the actual audio is played, so what challenge exactly will the person claim? Shed more light on this, mbok.

When you practice, watch out for your weak part(s) then work at improving. May the force be with you in your next trial. Pele

Amen oooo. Thanks.

@ bolded.

Ontario was generous few months back... Folks in the range of 380 (I think in IT related occupations) got invited. Your CRS with 8 in listening looks good, why think the long and expensive route of PNP when you have potentials of getting ITA directly?

The only implication I can think of is the one year validity period of your profile which starts counting as soon as you create the profile, that of course is inconsequential as you'd get your desired score and subsequently receive ITA in no time.

This listening section don do me something twice. Preparing to retaliate like one writing final year exam.

At current CRS of 385 (LRSW-6.5,8,7,7.5), an 8 in listening would have landed me at 435 , does it make any sense to create a profile now while preparing to rewrite IELTS?

Has anyone in that score range ever gotten provincial nomination? ##JustThinking... What if CIC decides to do Christmas for peeps and am nowhere to be found in the pool..

What are the implications of entering the pool with this score?
