I actually said something like this. Those who will make change are leaving the country. The smart and intelligent once are leaving. Govt may not feel the impact now

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hello. Pls does anyone know how much Prime Clinic in port Harcourt charges for medicals for adults and children? Also, can you walk in or do you have to make an appointment?

ray78:
I'm in IP2 and just received a request for Height and Eye colours well as Bio data passport request.Hope thats fine?

sleekysilk:
Yes. Very sure. E.g, if medical date is today 18/10/2017 and ur passport is expiring say next year June, your expected landing date and that will be stated on your COPR will be June 2018 as against October 2018 when ur medical is supposed to be 1yr.

It might not even be the principal applicant's passport sef. It could be the spouse or any of the kids. Once any member of the family has a shorter passport expiration date compared to the 1yr medical, its d expiration date dey will stamp every member of that family.

codeworks:
I know this is not right

Pls who knows where i can attend mock exams and coaching in Port Harcourt,

Thank you

I recently did an upgrade of my WES Credential Evaluation and Authentication report to ECA for CIC. My request was processed same day and I got the e-report. Payment was CAD$75.71. So all you need is Login to your WES account and request duplicate report for Immigration (IRCC)

Ehrnie:
Are you also applying for an upgrade of your completed WES report ie are you applying for a course by course evaluation? Please share your experience. Thanks.

Ehrnie:
Hi - I don't think you should worry (much) about this status. I got PR almost two month ago yet my CIC status (as at today) still shows "we are reviewing the additional documents you have provided" and "a final decision has been made". So you see that the updates SOMETIMES really do not show the true picture.

Just give it a bit of time, but if it still worries you then order your GCMS notes

cochtrane:
You definitely should ask for a remark. Something is wrong with IELTS in Nigeria.

MY results:

Reading - 9.0
Listening - 9.0
Writing - 7.5
Speaking - 7.5

I would have contested this result, cos it's just completely way off. Were it not sufficient for CIC, I most definitely would have contested it. I know how well I write. I should have a 9 in that writing. I wrote TOEFL and got 30/30 in writing the two times I wrote it. For speaking, my score should be higher than 7.5. I had a small encounter with the examiner that day, so maybe that affected it. Still, I don't understand why an examiner should mix sentiments with assessment.

I'm completely gutted, I swear. Something is wrong with IELTS in Nigeria. It's either they get the sense everyone is doing this for immigration purposes and so try to frustrate their efforts, or they have examiners who are inadequate in their competence.

Nonsense!

Abby2017:
Lol...sorry i had to laugh. This your process sounds like 2 months journey.
You sound like you work for ETX @ it is not their fault, so it is my fault abi, Ok.
My bro/sis, OAU transcript doesn't need more than a week to be ready if everyone is doing their job, max 2weeks if you are applying for the first time.
So you can pay through ETX and follow up the remaining part yourself and let ETX dispatch on completion.
So if you are really in Ife, don't waste time, enter a cool headed smiling officer there, buy "recharged cards" and get them to work.
All the best!

Algbenguze:
I seriously doubt it. Ideally, Transcript shouldn't even be in your possession; that's why it's only provided directly by the institution and addressed to a 3rd party.

Cecegal:
Update people,

After 10weeks i have received feedback on my EOR for my March 25th 2017 IELTS:Scores were:LRWS:877.5,6.5 There was no way I was going to accept a 6.5 in speaking this was my second IELTS I had a 7.5 in my first speaking I wasn't even as prepared as I was for this.I was very confident that I had done well in my speaking and in being pessimistic should at least have a 7.

Imagine my shock and surprise when I received my TRF with a 6.5 in speaking I knew I had to contest that particular score now in other not to bore you further my EOR came back and my speaking was bumped from 6.5 to 8.That's more than an entire band I keep wondering what was running through the mind of the Nigerian man who examined me that day which made him conclude I deserved a 6.5,I wrote the April 8th as well and had an 8 in speaking.

You see these BC Nigeria people let's just say I leave them for God.

If you ever have any doubts regarding your results please do not hesitate to remark it might take time but it's better than never knowing still waiting on EOR for April 8th remarking Writing 6.5 as well and as I mentioned before it wasn't my best writing but let's see how it goes.

I think he only examined you, it is a possibility that another person graded you. Notice there was a recorder on. After my speaking exam, I was about speaking to my examiner, he gestured for me to move close to the door, open and lock it as if I stepped out. Afterwards,he told me they do not grade, theirs is to conduct the exam and record. They conduct it all over the country too...anywhere, anytime ....

Amakyzuu:
sad... pm me @PH immigration

Hisvoice:
As much as I can't speculate the consequence of using a bogus e-mail account for referencing, I believe you can still get it done in the right way through those steps highlighted. Only a graduate section of a school may determine what could happen if one impersonate.

Having said that, I think our image as a Nigerian is still undergoing rebranding than to add this peccadilloes.

Check your mail. I have sent the referee stuff

Hisvoice:
That was a very good observation. It is unfortunate that students - undergraduate, M.Sc and even Ph.D - find ourselves in this 'Referee issh'.
From my observation, reference letters, arguably in some situations, carries much weight than GRE itself in application packet. But, some lecturers are either not apt in writing or 'too busy' or don't even understand the implication of the letters. If you see the letters some lecturer writes, uhmmmmm .....It took me days to get a checklist assessed for a sound reference letter (available if you need a copy) -
Possibl[b][/b]e Solution.
1. As an applicant, get a sample copy of a good reference letter and revamp it aptly.
2. Do not just pick Prof. as your referee, ask for their availability to assist before filling their names on your application (some schools may not alter it)
3. After persistent call and no response, take a time and travel down to meet the Prof. (remembering 'if Muhammed story ....) with your laptop, modem or a phone with hotspot.
4. If none works, make a request to the school for a change on your application.

As regards using 'fabricated e-mail account', it may be difficult because those schools might be aware of that possibility and some may even require official e-mail e.g successg@oau.edu. I believe those tips would yield a good response

ciao.

ridsan4real:
sincerely speaking!

ponpon:
Referee's or references trims student's application. that's why most people apply to 5 max, when they could shoot to like 8-12 schools

ponpon:
you just preached the TRUTH
