Bellerin:
Congratulations!

Thanks a lot!

njbybrthnly:
CONGRATULATIONS etrange!!! Wow...see result! I'm really happy for you on both counts. I hope your ECA gets delivered quickly so you can dive into the pool asap.

P.S. please when you're not so busy could you post about your experience and tips to pass the test? Many thanks.

_{sorry about your "phonelessness"}

I sure will. Thanks a million times.

Mamaroon:
Aaaawwww congratulations sir!!!! Who is that human being that marked your TEF and marred your perfect score with unnecessary B1...imagine!!!

I pray for quick WES conclusion, ITA and PPR by God's grace.

Ps: I was thinking just the other..... say this Oga etrange just open thread for us and we no see am again...sorry about the phone issues.

LOL... that human being doesn't know I have many alternatives...

Thanks for the prayers, we will all get there.

I didn't run away o... NL banned me for a couple of times for typing in French; that was before I lost my phone. Thanks.

wasseynewest:
Good one estrange especially on been calm & natural on test day. But like Richness has added, Mother luck is Importanter with prayers too.

Thanks bro. I never said otherwise.

Richness1104:
You said alot of nice stuffs but spoilt it with the bolded. Really?? Hmmmmn...... People have come here to say ielts humbles one.. Yes it does. If you have enjoyed Grace, give thanks to whom it's due not to come and make it seem peeps are exaggerating. That Jay that u referred to, people have studied it in and out and are still battling with success in ielts. It's not just about the student, what about the examiner? The person who will mark A script can be different from the one for B and these two people are with different views. How legible a student is can also affect...... Please just appreciate what you have and be thankful

You obviously got me wrong. I do not intend to undermine people's efforts nor appear ungrateful. I found IELTS simpler than I anticipated and I do not think there is anything wrong in expressing that view. As a matter of fact, I believe it will help those yet to write to relax and concentrate more. Given that a lot of people have done it multiple times, those yet to write would naturally be nervous at this time and I think anything to calm them down would be welcomed. While a lot of factors could affect one's result like you rightly said, walking into the exam without panicking will still go a long way in ensuring a more natural output from the candidate; a factor to which I attributed my success up there. So saying that IELTS is simpler than it appears is not far from the truth. I am sorry if that expression does not sit well with you.

Thanks for the congratulations.

Good day everyone.

I am still a bit far but I feel the need to share something with a community that has given me a lot; maybe someone will be encouraged.

So I wrote my first IELTS this month and the result is out!. I was able to make L8, R8, S8, W7 in my first attempt.

I know I am supposed to share tips and materials used but to be honest, I did not really prepare much for the exam. For speaking, I just decided to be myself and talk as if I was with a friend or a colleague at work and that worked for me. For listening and reading, I only tried to concentrate and also pay attention to the instructions and to my spellings too. As for writing, someone I met during the speaking session recommended Jay's tutorials to me. I looked them up a couple of days before the exam and voila, I found the structure well carved out and easy to follow. I did not watch the videos as I had not time, just the writ-up. By the time I got into the exam hall and saw the question, I could tell the question type and the recommended structure immediately. All I had to do was to give it some flesh. I also tried to be a bit free so as to not to make the essay seem memorized. I wrote the letter part just as I would write a mail in my place of work. All these seem to have worked just fine.

Fact is, the exam is way simpler than we make it look. Don't be afraid, be yourself and let your points flow naturally.

Best of luck to everyone yet to write!

Bonjour a tous.

I am very sorry not to have been available here as expected of the OP, it's been a crazy period for me. I also lost my devices recently.

I'd want to thank everyone that has contributed in one way or the other to the success and continuity of this thread. Y'all are awesome and I pray our efforts shall be crowned with success. I also want to use this opportunity to congratulate njbybrthnly on his/her recently received ITA. I am sure I'm not the only one motivated by his/her dedication and resilience. Sorry I have not been available on Whatsapp for our French chit-chats, I presently do not have a phone. My congratulations also go to every other person that has written the TEF exam. Regardless of the outcome, I admire your courage and ambitiousness.

Just an update from me, I have seen both my TEF and IELTS results. While my TEF isn't the best result ever, I am glad my IELTS is sufficient to make it up. I got C1, C1, B2, B1 in TEF and L8, R8, S8, W7 in IELTS. By God's grace, I will be creating my profile next month once I'm done with WES.

Courage a tous !

gloire1:
yes PM, my group is sending tomorrow

Thanks. Please, check your mail.

Chicjennie:
Yes please. You are absolutely correct. A group of us combined and sent the scratch cards directly to WES ourselves through the FedEx at WAEC office.
Cheers.

Correct me please, is this scratch card in place of confirmation email from WAEC? Cause I believe that's what's delaying my assessment. And is there any other group I can join?

sirvvy:

They are not asking for your favourite sex position sir.

Dandsome:
Died at the age of 100? They shouldn`t pin the death to respiratory failure and lung cancer abeg. She died of old age.

Lol... there is no disease called "old age" bro.

One must die of something. It only happens at old age cause that's when the immune systems and the organs are at their weakest.

sisisioge:
Ha! Dearest Lord in heaven! Biko is there anything else I could do to boost my scores? This French is looking long already

Cc: estrange

Dear, if you can speak French, it is your best bet! Use it to your advantage. A lot of people out there wish they could speak French today and would gladly step into your shoes if given the chance. January is not too far away. Sers-toi de ta connaissance. Que ta competence t'ammenne au Canada. Bonne chance.

My name is etrange(strange) and not estrange

trastar:
For you to be asking this question, there's a high chance you are about to waste 150k.
Everything you need to know is on their website, take your time and digest it all.

Thanks. I read the pdf file supplied by ACS and it indicated all documents should be notarized and uploaded on their site. I was wondering if this includes transcript too given that most schools would rather send transcripts directly to the the requesting authorities.

OP, there is no breed of dog called Nigerian Shepherd. Stop fabricating names and misleading people.

mosky47:
I think the laminating myth only works in Nigeria.

Is there anyone here who has applied for a job or admission outside Nigeria where they asked to see your original certificate? Most times your transcript confirms where you attended school, and not your certificate. As for Embassies, I don't know anyone who has been denied a visa for presenting a laminated certificate. (Someone here may know sha).

It's only in Nigeria that if you have a Federal job, you would be asked to go to Abuja twice a year to verify your credentials (that they have seen before).

Lol... Thanks.

Please, how does one send transcript to Australian Computer Society?

glowberry:
Bonjour tous. Happy to be here.
I'm so happy I found this thread.
Please is there any TEF session this year after October.

Je n'en suis pas sur. Mais je pense qu'il y a une session en decembre.

TwentySeven:
Nope. WES evaluation, as I was made to understand is just to enable you score CRS points in regards to your immigration.

There have been several instances however, of people who never evaluated their degrees (usually accompanying spouses) and are gainfully employed today.

Hhmmm... that brings me back to my initial fear. Thanks nevertheless.

ottawasenators:
Aunty/Uncle,

Why u sef go laminate Educational certificate?

You and the person that agreed to laminate them for you deserved to be flogged.

As per not being accepted in canny, i do not know. I guess someone will come up with some good news for you. cheers!!!

Chai! This one finished me in public!

vickyehi:
For this process, it really doesnt matter.

After you arrive in canada u can worry about lamination.

Thanks a lot. I can now sleep.

TwentySeven:
Trust me, after doing your credential evaluation, you may never need those certificates again. Laminated or not.

Thanks my brother. But does that mean prospective employers will value WES evaluation more that the actual certificates? I really hope so.

Hello House!!!!

Please, do not ignore me, I beg.

I have all my certificates laminated. And I just read somewhere that laminated documents are considered invalid in Canada!

What do I do?

JudasNaCarrot:
A lot of people don't verify before sharing....just post it, that's what they know.

A friend of mine can share anything Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and Isreal deploying missiles to Nigeria if Biafra is not achieved.....and he can argue blindly about it to the last drop of his blood.

One day I told him to his face that he is a big fool for believing every trash someone somewhere in the comfort of his bedroom type and post to be true......I blocked him and that solved my headache with him.

Dear brother,

In my humble opinion, you and your friend probably just had a fallout over tribal issues and not cause of any sharing. I believe it would not have gotten to you both parting ways if he were sharing any other thing. I could be wrong but if it's so, it's really sad.

Good morning!

lordizak:Yes waiting till other guest arrives.Ok. Kindly share the links so others will follow. Thanks.[color=#F5F5F5]O[/color]

We are duly observing and preparing ourselves. I have chosen a nice Chinese name already.

The most painful part of all this is that the signors and signees will be in their graves when all goes south.

We must go wake dem up oo.

Ni hao my people.

Enjoy my siggy

Ni hao wode pengyou. Ni xianzai shi zhun guo ren ma?

dochenaj:
Like seriously? You mean someone in the bus just asks to see the book you are holding, possibly to see the title and the author, then hand it back to you. But you tell me, you must have to like the person first before giving him/her.

That guy is probably one of those kids that believe it's a manly thing to criticize women in every discussion; you know, just to belong.

Fuckdamod:
What kinda nonsense grammer is that bitch writing? Are u sure it's not an innocent man they are beating?
Daughter of zion my foot. Go to school they won't, all they know is carrying their money to pastors. Release that poor man!

Grammar*

Mamaroon:
Hello everyone, thanks to the originator of this offshoot of the Canada thread and thanks to all, for the links with study materials.

Just to confirm that @njbybrthnly is 100% correct and so is @etrange. You will get points for French from CLB 5...anything below CLB 5 is ZERO points.

There are 4 abilities just like IELTS, the ranking is:

CLB 5 or 6 - 1 point per ability
CLB 7 or 8 - 3 points per ability
CLB 9 or 10 - 6 points per ability

However if you are able to get CLB 7 and above, in addition to the points stated above you will get an extra 30 or 15 points....depending on your IETLS English CLB scores.

So aim for CLB 7 and above if you are looking for mega points.

BONNE CHANCE A TOUS!

Thank you dear brother/sister.

On va y arriver par la grâce de Dieu.
