Hi, dud you apply online and which passport office did you use?

[quote author=MissMoroti post=71129070]SILENT READER HERE! CLEAR ROAD PLS!! PARDON THE LATE AND LONG POST! Single applicant here!

My first IELTS was September, 2017. Speaking was fine but on the day of LRW, my village people sat by the bonfire and stirred the pot well. Guess what? I woke up 10am! I did not bother to go again, just went online to book another date in december. Till today, I still wonder how I didn't hear my alarm ring. But petty IELTS had the guts to courier my result to me ..average of 2.0 smh! lol

Anyway, second attempt results came out December 15th, I maxed out the scores LSWR (8.5,8.0,7.5,8.5) and entered pool same day with CRS score 441. Every fortnight, my heart will beat fast but tie-breaking rule didn't want me to be great. So I used that opportunity to gather docs, got my office reference letter, opened an investment account with my bank cos i planned to use 100percent gift deed.

After 5months, I got ITA in May 23, 2018. Went for medicals in June, Oga moshood to d rescue for PCC. Submitted July 6th.

Timeline:
Submission and AOR - July 6th
MEP: July 21 (on a saturday fa) ...No mail o, I just make sure I log in once everyday

House, do i need to get reference letter from my previous employer if i already have more than 3years experience with my present employer?

Shyee:
Not mandatory, though advisable. When you get ITA you'll have ONLY 60 days to gather ALL your documents for submission, hence having them already is wiser. Meanwhile, you could get international passports within a week or two, depending on your location. Before you go for the international passports, I'd recommend asking here first; for now, you could get it done WITHIN a week or two in Osogbo.

Thank you for the speedy response

Hello house, please is it mandatory to have your dependants interntional passport ready before entering the pool? If no when will it be requires?

ChandlerBing:
You can show marriage certificate of your parents.

thank you

ribaby:
Her PR card, utility bills, birth certificates, marriage certificate

thank you, did u include any documents from your parents?

I found out it is cheaper to apply online. Has anyone done it before and is it advisable?

ribaby:
It's PPR my wonderful e-family!

First heard about Express Entry in 2014. I was still a patriotic Nigerian then, believed things would get better. Fast forward to 2017, my friend convinced me to write Ielts and that was the first step of my EE journey.

PPR 15/08/18

POF: had 40% of funds transferred to my account by my sister didn't do a gift deed just a LOE.
*wouldn't advise this as it was noted in my notes to review large sum transfer into my account. Thank God I didn't get an ADR or worse an interview.
Please people get a gift deed irrespective of the sum once the money comes in post-ita.

I added my sibling in Canada post-ita because I wasn't certain she would release her document to me but she finally came through. My CRS score was recalculated from 453 to 468.

Special thanks to the wonderful contributors on this thread. I got most of the answers to my questions without even asking, they were just there in black and white.
To the newbies, always start from page 1.
It will end in PRAISE for us ALL.

Congratulation, please what are the documents you used for proof of sibling relationship?

Laughing here! with right investment mind and God is on your side, 50m is very small for you to have legit and not govt of fraud money. now let me tell you why the person that said if one has 50m, one has nothing doing on nairaland might not be totally wrong. if i have 50m and put it in TB for 364 days @ 12% the return will be 6m fine now play the game on investment on NSE for those who can take the risk like me which have been enjoying, stake 50m in one stock like zenith bank @ #18 cos as the election draws near, stocks prices would be going down due to uncertainty and the believe is election will come and go and naija still remain one. so back to 50m on zenith @ 18 it will give u 2,777,000units after the election and zenith release their finacial result which of couse would be ok, the stock can go to #28 but lets take #25 so 25x2,777,000=69,425,000 now lest say zenith do a dividend of #2.30 x 2,777,000=6,387,100. All together, return on #50m for less than 5month is #25,812,100.

summary

TB 50M(364DAYS)@ 12%=6m

Stock zenith bank less that 5month= #25,812,100

now capital plust gain= 75,812,100. ok

pull it back to TB @12% for 364days when share prices would have gone down. return would be #9,097,452+ 75,812,100=#84,909,552

same stock @18 then u get 4,717,000units by #25= 117,925,000+10,849,100@ # 2.3k div totalling #128,774,100 for period of 2yrs.


so one can generate addditional #78m just in 2 yrs. i choose zenith cos have been investing in the stock for a decade now and no cause for alarm though i do some other stockS like GTB

Has there been any time you have got your finger burnt in stock market using this technique or has it always been rosy?

brosjay2k17:
I wrote with MOD in June and we made use of headphone(earpiece) not speaker

thanks. But where did you write yours

tolfa:
I think it's about your priority.... nothing to worry about if it's payment as far as BC is concerned just a raise a bank draft wherever you are and send it via courier or visit their office within 5 days of registration and you won't have issues and be sure of earpiece....as for MOD you can as well start practising without earpiece atleast to balance things up and prepare for worst....that's my take....

Thank you

Please house, I need your candid advice with which body to write my ielts with in Lagos, BC or MOD? I have read previous threads about people complaining about BC's confusing speaking test reshcedule as well as their strict payment option. Though MOD seems to be better in the aforementioned points, my fear with them is that for listening test they can either provide speaker / earpiece. I am used to practising with earpiece and don't want otherwise on test date. That is why am confused, please help me out as time is running out for registration

exquisef:
hi i already quite shared this in my earlier posts if i remember well it was 8.5 7.5 7 8.5 lrws please note the writing was upgraded after EOR

Thank you very much

exquisef:
yes they do

Thanks alot, please when did you write yours and can you share your result?

Good day house, for those that wrote ielts with MOD in Lagos mainland where you provided with earpiece for the listening section. Please i need response urgently. Thanks
