jjohndoe83: Dear Friend
I trust that you're keeping well. How's the new job coming along? I hear you've been posted to the offshore platform of your company just off the coast of Alberta? Good luck on that one.
I'm challenging the IELTS exam on 6th April . I registered with MOD/IDP in Lagos and I've been practicing feverishly for about a month. I'm currently preparing for my Writing module and even though I know you're busy to a hilt, would you be kind enough to review my essays for me? I'll really appreciate it. I'm targeting a 7.5 score and I need all the help I can get.
Note though that I'm writing the paper based test, so I'll have to send you photographs of my hand written essays and letters. I know its a little clumsy but I'm trying to practice under exam conditions and I'm not really used to writing with a pen because I type mostly on a computer device. I hope you understand. I'll make my handwriting as legible as possible.
I'm really counting on you for this one. It's a make or break test for me. If you don't want to get personal like on WhatsApp, we can talk via email or any other way you suggest. Thanks a bunch.
Best wishes Jjohndoe83. I heard/ I was told/ I will be writing/ I am going to write...not challenging Although i understand your hands are full/ you are occupied/ very busy, i would like your help in reviewing my essays as my exams are pretty close/ near. I type mostly on a computer/ on a hand- held device If you dont like instant messaging, I could send you an email. I hope this helps. |

Guitarlife: What language do you use ? I think you may need to reinforce your algorithm skills. Check youtube for free beginner courses in data structures and algorithms.
You should probably concentrate on that for a month.
Programming is logic and you need to have that locked down. I also struggle with algorithms so its a continual learning process. learning python at the moment..will check out the courses in data structure as you recommended. Thanks What language(s) do you programme in? |

VECOH1: Good evening all, congrats to all ITA clinchers. I am preparing my P.O.F ahead and I intend to use Treasury bills certificate. Will I need to submit my 6 months statement of account with the Treasury bills certificate?
This is because my Dad supported me with some funds 3 months ago to complete the P.O.F. My second question is- Is there a need to prepare a gift deed in case I am asked to present a 6 months account statement. Please, I would need your candid advise. Thanks in anticipation. Some people used only tbills certificate, i submitted both. + gift deed. Its also advisable to do a notarised gift deed. |

My expertise is back end and yeah I get your reservation towards front end.

Attach the affidavit, mail from HR stating that they cannot issue that letter, the generic reference that was issued, Bank statement, pay stubs etc. I am sure you will be fine Thank you very much cutiep..your response just relieved the worry this thing was causing me.

Hey guys please o..your help is required.
What is holding me back from submitting is work reference letter..not almighty pof..its letter.
So my organisation doesnt give ref letter in cic format, when they do its just employment level and salary they will state.
The problem now is that our boss has warned that no body should write ref letter for colleague. So i cant get that one everybody is scared.
I can prove that i work there with id and bank statements. But i dont know how to prove my Noc, as every letter i have from the company doesnt state my job role only level.
I believe proving NoC is important in this process. Sorry for all this long gist which is meant for ppr..but someone should help.

cutiep: My employer also doesn't give the CIC reference. They however responded to me via mail that they will not issue the reference.
What I did was to do an affidavit of my job description and notorized it. I also added employment, promotion, appreciation letters as well as my Tax clearance certificate and salary account.
I am post ITA though but I have a colleague who did the same thing and is now in Cannyland. Hello, i am in the same shoe as you. Please did you notarize the affidavit you did. Or you mean you have two documents , an affidavit and a notarized letter? Did you get a colleague to sign for you? Sorry for all these questions, just want to understand better so i can do mine. |

Kemzyebony: It’s PPR / COPR ☺️����
Our 2 years Immigration story ( Long post Alert)
Ielts - Nov 11, 2017 Wes started - October 6, 2017 [b]Wes [ Meanwhile our Accra Gang they throway prayer for us, our interview gang too, my May ITA group too, my siblings, my friends.... their prayers were answered o .....
Interview went amazingly well... lady was nice, hmm... let me rest, would continue later...
Cont’d
Back to the matter!!
So we got to the embassy, right on time, they collected all phone, all wristwatches, most things sha, but I still went in with my bag after they searched thoroughly, we dropped our documents with the receptionists and held on to some other supporting docs. We could hear an interview going well, the lady ended up passing and was asked to either come the next day or submit her passports from Lagos. Kai we were happy for her o and gingered ....
At this time, just hubby and I were at the waiting room, we waited and waited o, they didn’t call us, I even dozed off small, finally after about 1hr 30mins of waiting... I was called, she apologized for the delay, such an amazing lady, she was nice as well... then the questions came o ( another story), highlight was that the interview was almost like a spousal sponsorship interview, i told her the truth, adding interesting information in between, she was just laughing, me sef laugh join...one thing was for sure I made sure all I said was the truth about our relationship, because hubby was next and our answers at least had to match small.....
The Verdict - Hubby’s turn, she asked almost the same things, it went well o.... then she asked hubby to call me, and then she told us the good news , that we passed , you need to see the way we jumped, then she said in that moment when I told you guys, I could see the love, mehn we beamed even more. She then asked when we were traveling, we said tonight, she said they can only stamp our passports and issue COPR tomorrow or we wait till we get back to lagos, hubby said when we get to lagos ..... sigh
Hmm, we sha told her thank you and left... I was happy and sad ( left to me , we go reschedule flight and collect our thing sharply next day), but hubby kept saying he had to go back, I cried and cried , kept wondering why he didn’t see the importance the way I did... hmmm... didn’t talk to him o... finally I couldn’t stand to see him feeling so bad, sha told him how I felt and we settled...
Off to lagos back, Shebi all is well that ends well, next day ppr mail entered, I was so freaking happy, called hubby straight, told my Accra and Interview gang, I sharply carry passport say make I go submit. Got to hubby’s car o, na so stomach pain start again( at this time I knew village people were really trying , but I also knew Allah was stronger than them)... hubby rushed me to the emergency room in the hospital o, took drip, hubby stayed with me for a while... then I went back home as I was cleared...
Then I submitted the next day...
I know my story is very long, I even missed out some part , so that people won’t get bored and to conceal my identity
Now I pray for good health as we must get to our second country InshaAllah...
It ended in praise . Alhamdulillah!!!!!!!!!!! Aww..may you both continue to grow in love. May Allah make your marriage a very happy one. |

joo2018: Gradually increasing is ok.
The question is how do you define "gradually increasing". Someone in part 1 of this thread said increase should not be more than N250,000 monthly. I don't know how that figure came to be. Hello Joo thanks for your response. I think the amount depends on what you usually earn. For instance someone earning 80k, that 250 increase might be alot but another earning 500k, maybe not. I think sha, still learning about this process. |

DonTee07: not true. you can put your money a day before you print statement self but know you will explain the source of Also, i really want to buy tbills instead of allowing the money just sit in the account. However if i do, do i still need reference from my bank? Considering that by the time i withdraw for tbills, there would be zero naira in the account. Would my statement and tbills certificate be fine? |
