Finally, I've seen the IELTS that gave me sleepless nights
Listening- 9
Writing- 7.5
Reading- 8.5
Speaking- 8.0
It's my first take, and I was so worried because one senior applicant told me how he practiced like a hundred tests, meanwhile I hadn't done a fraction of that.
I also wrote my answers in all CAPITAL letters, except for Writing. When I told two of my friends who took the test too, they looked at me as if I've already failed.
Then I wasted so much time on my letter because I loved the topic, ended up not having time to structure the essay part and proofread before submitting.
It's been the longest two weeks of my life ! Thank God it ended in praise o, because I don't know where to get 75k to give British Council again.
Now waiting for WES on the 20th before diving into this our legendary pool !!!

GRACE FOUND ME
I will worship Him forever, Love Him forever, This God is too good oo (Nathaniel Bassey)

I discovered this family after I had already submitted my application......

This journey started in earnest December 2017. FAMILY OF 4
Got the magic IELTS score April 21 sitting LSWR. 8.5,7.5,7,8.5. Updated my profile May 13th, CRS 466.

ITA... MAY 23RD
AOR.....JULY 3RD
MEP/IP1.....JULY 18TH
IP2.......... AUGUST 7TH
PPR..... AUGUST 9TH

Before I submitted my application, I told God that my case MUST be different. What took others 6months will take me maximum 6 weeks( He even exceeded my expectations) cos my rent expires in September.
I stood on Jeremiah 1:11- 12 (I see a speedy ppr, and He will hasten His word and perform it.) & Luke 18:27...(my desire is possible with God)..... Focused on praying for God's kingdom alone while believing...Matt 6:33..
Pardon my sermon .....but JESUS IS LORD


POF:- I used a notarized copy of deed of sale agreement only, bank statement and reference letter. An LOE explaining one of the huge payment into my account......

WORK EXPERIENCE.....just used a general "to whom it may concern" reference letter from company not in "cic format". No payslip or any other document.

Lessons Learned...
1. FAITH WORKS!!
2. Make ur application as simple as possible
3. Your application is different.


GRACE FOUND ME!!
I remember emphasizing this and someone said misrepresentation...smh congratulations oo I tap into this grace and speed..AOR was just 3days after yours

Pardon any typo.

Thank you for your attention to my question.

I think around 1350- 1500 (will be glad if i get below sha) should be enough for a 3 bedroom house, i am looking at anywhere close to ottawa; orleans, hunt club , crystal bay , westboro etc. We arrive in two weeks by Gods grace.

Thank you for your offer will most appreciate it.

About the meet up, since ottawans are so busy parhabs the whatsapp group may be more beneficial for newcomers, i kind of started one but , hey! i never land, so na the same thing.

If he has worked and it is not in work history, it should be in personal history, else, it is misrepresentation. So how will it look when the VO goes to Linkedin and sees jobs that are not mentioned anywhere?

Or how will it look if such "an unemployed" spouse were to cough out N6M for POF? Did he steal it? Even if he is self employed, he would state it. Sometimes we may not see nexus between different bits of information but I assure you, the VOs connect all these dots. I totally agree with @einsteino

einsteino:
This has been addressed several times, you should have used the search button.

Anyways to reiterate, you must include it in his personal history, along with his other activities (education etc). That isnt negotiable(at least by the rules), what is, is the work history section. Any activity listed in work history must be evidenced while personal history wouldnt, unless his files ends up at the desk of an over zealous V.O, in that case you would get an ADR. you can always reply with an LOE stating it was contract jobs and knew it would be difficult to evidence as he was paid in cash, hence why you didnt list it in work experience. But its unlikely you would be quizzed over Personal history.

So it doesnt hurt to list all his jobs in the personal history section, though if you say he has been unemployed for all those years, it should be fine but i wonder if a V.O wouldnt find that even more absurd than the former scenario.

Yours is like a needle in a haystack... 1 in 5000 ppl. IDP is not favorable when it comes to remark and also I can clearly confirm that when you ask for a remark (EOR) and your score changes it does not reflect online. I kept checking online to know if my score would change meaning I got a positive outcome but was same and then I sent a mail to Australia.



You seem to me like you work for them or have personal interests in the organization and so you are trying to cover things up for IDP.

I know and can confirm some IDP staff come here to post positive comments about the organization to make them look like angels.

IELTS- IDP (MAY 25, 2018)

L- 8

R- 8

S- 7

W- 6.5
They are definitely making big box off this and are not ready to stop. Honestly if you can write elsewhere but Nigeria. I just really thank God am off their claws and earnestly pray and hope every other person held back by this writing stigma of 6.5 is delivered �


IDP, like seriously??

I am beginning to believe folks' opinions about the possible lack of total honesty of test organizers in Nigeria. I verily suspect it is fast becoming a big ticket business for these guys- BC & IDP and they are not ready to let poor us off the hook any time soon!! It is just so unfortunate on multiple grounds! Can you imagine after paying 68k for the test, only to dole out 15k/45k for re-marking again?? These people should fear God oooo!!!

I feel the pains of all my people here who got great scores in listening, reading and speaking only to be disappointed with the writing test...Honestly, there's something fishy here.
How do you want to explain it that someone got 9, 8.5, 8/7.5 in L, R and S...and now that same brain got a 6.5 in writing? It doesn't make sense!

It will get to a stage we will proceed to Benin or Ghana to write IELTS so as to get objective marking...at least, over there, let's hope they are not yet infested with everything wrong with our "system" here. I'm so upset...I read all the great scores in the previous pages...those scores were supposed to be great ITA CLINCHING SCORES now marred by dubiously marked writing test.

IDP may have tainted my "rep" with a 6.5 for whatever it's worth (Never happened before, BC wont even try it...we are talking about "writing" here oooo ) but hey, you cares? God has done it already!


All the same, It still ended in praise

NB: Guys, lets keep the hope high, it will happen soon! (We may have to open a public petition against the grading of the test by IDP in Nigeria and get the petition across to IDP Australia for necessary action)

Oreoluwa08:
Good morning all,
My IELTS result LRWS 8.5,7,6.5,7.5. I’m just sad. Why is MOD always giving people 6.5 in writing. Do you guys suggest applying for EOR or rewriting. Thanks.

mcstan18:
Inasmuch as we're all trying to be careful with our representations to the Canadian authorities, and having read through Canadatlast's argument, I think he/she has a valid point. Let's be objective about this, the money still legally belongs to you except that there is a timeline to accessing it. If one can use 25% that he isn't even authorized to have access to (since most people usually continue in employment until they're finally ready to jet out), one should be able to successfully lay claim to the isolated 75%.

The most it would cost is a confirmation of some sort from CIC concerning this PF matter. If the response comes out favourable, then we just might have unearthed an information goldmine to the benefit of many here who have been struggling with PoF. Let's not just dismiss this by the wave of the hand please. There is no information that is not power.

I am guessing you have not collected your TRF yet. So go to their office with the bank draft. You will be guided on the next steps to follow.
