I also used post mail by Nipost to and fro without any issues. I think Nipost is very efficient now.
Danchiks, how long did it take from the day WES sent and the day you received?

1.As banking has gone global,international transfers through demand draft should be a product of any bank that wants to compete favourably in the global market. You might need to put a call through or physically visit some of the banks to ascertain if they can raise draft payable in Canada. I want to believe most multinational banks in Nigeria should be able to do this.

2.You can put the period as at the date you started the employment up until the date your application was signed off.

3.If you have your fund in a Micro Finance Bank,you should endeavour to use the statement of this bank. Also,include a letter from the bank stating that you bank with them and have the stated amount in your account. You should also make arrangement if necessary to move this money to a commercial bank to give backing to the authenticity of the availability of this fund.

4.Depending on the speed of processing as stated on WES' website,it might be too early to worry about the processing now.

5.As I understand.application received as at July 15th,2014 are being attended to.I also understand that application packages received beyond this date are being given preliminary attention by the CIC central intake Office.Hopefully,there will be an update this week on the number of applications received.
Thanks alot Solomonwis. Appreciate your response.
As per 3. - I have the funds as an investment in Fixed deposit in the microfinance bank and I have the investment certificate. Will that be enough or do I need additional document?
As per 4. - My evaluation has been completed and it was sent as at 15th of october. Though i requested by mail post but I expect to have gotten it by now. It is been 21 days now (15working days).

Halo guys,

I am sure alot of people would be in confused thoughts like I am concerning this Debit card/Credit Card/Demand Draft issue. I used my GTbank debit card to pay for my WES and there was no issue. I guess I can as well use it for CIC. But seeing the cases of people who used debit card and haven't been debited, I think Draft will be the answer. Now we are hearing that GTbank has suspended Draft sales.

1. Is Gtbank the only bank that one can purchase this kind of draft? Cos I spoke to my account officer in UBA and he said no problem raising it from UBA.

2. Form 5669 (Background/Declaration), under personal history requests one to account for personal history. I am a little confused. I have been in my present occupation since 16th Nov 2011. If I am to put the period, do I put 2011-11-16 as starting period and end period as today's date? or should I leave the end period blank?

3. Has anyone used a Microfinance Bank Fixed deposit investment letter for CIC and suceeded? Cos that's where I have my funds. N2.5m

4. Still awaiting my evaluation report from WES. It has been sent since 15th October. I haven't gotten it. Should I be worried?

5. Does anyone have any update on the applications that has been received? The one on the website hasn't been updated since early october. My NOC is 0111. I hope I still make am.

ANBAKO:
My personal opinion is that if you have enough points without the diploma, please don't add it. I had a ND, BSc and MSC but only use the latters for application. What is ECA's evaluation?
Thanks ANBAKO for your response. WES evaluation gave me 4 years. Though I didn't assess for my diploma.
I think i'll just omit the diploma as you said. With the Bsc, I already have my 67points.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by HenryIX: 2:50pm On Oct 23, 2014
All in the name of having a perfect processing.
I did my diploma and Bsc in the same university. The diploma (satelite campus) had to be done to gain the admission then. Though it was done as a direct entry to the university.
I only sent my BSc to WES and it has been evaluated to four years equivalent. Mind you, I started from 200level in the university (3yrs in all).
Now, do I include my diploma along with my BSc with ECA in the package?
If yes, can I use notification of result? As I don't have a ceritficate
OR should I omit the diploma?

Thanks

I will prefer you leave out the PCC for now especially at this submission stage since it is not mandatory ,besides,it's valid for just three months so there is every likelihood that Accra will ask you to resubmit it again....better safe yourself the stress at this stage.
.fr the process ,Just walk in to Alagbon with your passport document ,also make a photocopy of the biodata page as you may see to give them.Go with two passports .You will be asked to fill a form afterwhich your fingerprints will be taken.
It should be ready within 3 hours.......depending on your negotiation power,the cost is averagly 5k per adult.
Give your ECA about 2 more weeks to get it....just make sure you continues check until you receive it.
Cheers

Thanks man! You are one in a million. I guess I'll just chill and watch. I am putting in for NOC 0111. I know I will make it.

Morning guys,
Congrats to damokollins. Your selfless service has gotten you this far. The good lord has just started with you. Victory upon victory for you.
Please, I will like to know the requirement and procedure for police clearance @ Alagbon. And how much it will cost. I am thinking i should do it while waiting for my evaluation from WES to get here.
Also, has anyone received WES evaluation by post? How long does it takes to get here? Been almost a week, I haven't seen it.
Thanks and cheers

I just got a mail from WES that my assessment has been completed and my report sent by mail. As I didn't request shipping by courier, does anyone know how long it will take for the mail to get to me in Lagos.

Highburygonner, WES only verifies the certificate you send to them. Click on your reference number and check your order details to know more about your status.

highburygonner:
Morning house, I apply for ECA through WES in September and have sent my credentials which they acknowledged but my school is yet to send my TRANSCRIPT. in fact they will send the transcript today. This morning I checked my account with WES and they wrote "waiting verification from institution" does it mean that they have sent email to my school without the transcript? Or what does it mean?

Good day my pple, pls i have a question:

I have sent my degree certificate to WES and it has been received but my transcript is just on its way to canada and i received a mail from WES that my certifcate has been sent to my institution for verification. My question is will they still send my transcript for verification wen it reaches or its only certificate they verify .

Can i contact skul now or wait til my transcript gets to WES incase they want to verify that too. Has anybody been in this situation.

Thanks for ur prompt reply.
No need to worry, WES only verifies once. Besides, it is only your certificate that needs verifying since it came from you and not from the source(your institution). So rest assured.
Goodluck

Verification response has been received from your academic institution.
They should complete your evaluation within the next two weeks.
Congrats ahead.
Cheers.
Thanks man. I am resting assured now.
Anyway, I saw your response to Hollaugo. Personally, I wouldn't want to use my debit card because of the fear of losing the card or network issues when it is to be debited. Besides, I use my card alot for transactions and I might forget that I pledged a certain amount towards the program. Also, because the exchange rate. I think I will raise a draft. It is safer and more assuring.
But can i raise the draft from any bank. I intend to use UBA.
Thanks and cheers

Rest assured that your credential assessment will soon be ready, even before Nov 5. If I may ask, why do u intend to contact your institution? WES has a cordial relationship with most institutions over the years, therefore for verification purposes, channels of communication are numerous and quite open. I had a similar experience a year ago.
Scrollmeout, thanks for your response. Reason why i intend to contact my institution? You know how our institution are being run, especially non-private universities. You have to be on their neck to be able to get things through, and possible grease a few palms. I had to collect my transcript myself to send it, because I was told it could take weeks or months for the school to send it. So I needed to know if WES has contacted them so I can push and beg them to respond on time.
Thanks

Morning guys,
Appreciate all the kind and prompt responses to my questions.
When WES got my documents, my status was updated as 'documents received-review in progress'. Thereafter, I got a mail that photocopies of my documents have been sent to my institution for verification, I checked my account and my status showed 'awaiting institution verification' (something like that). After 2 days, I got another mail that my documents have been received and it is being reviewed. On checking my status,'documents received-review in progress'. Now this morning I checked my status and i see 'Evaluation in progress'. Does this mean my institution has responded or Evaluation entails the verification. I need to know this so as to be able to contact my institution.
Though November 5 has been set for Nov 5 has been set for completion.

Thanks

Thanks Yomifowe for your response. I am a little confused. How do I attach my ielts results if i don't get it by mail or post? Do I print my result page online?
Thanks once again.



yomifowe:
Your ielts result would not be sent to you by any means o. You would have to go to their site to check it.
Visit this link;

https://ielts.britishcouncil.org/checkresults.aspx

For your WES confirmation, they send it by email, fax and i think courier. Once you get the notification, you can contact your school, most likely they would have gotten it.

I sent my certficate through dhl (N12,800). Hoping to send my package by the end of the month. I am applying under NOC 0111. Still 109 received. I have faith that i will scale through.

Halo guys, great job you are doing keeping people informed and updated. Good job.
I work for a microfinance bank as a Finance officer (been working there for over 4yrs). I have a fixed deposit of about N3m with the bank since 2012. The fixed deposit have been rolled over severally.
I got my school to give me the enveloped and stamped transcript. I intend to send it myself cos my school could take forever before they post it.
I have written my ielts and i am awaiting my scores (though a message was sent to me by British council that my result was sample picked for some assessment.
My question:
1. Do I stand a chance?
2. What does the reassessment by British council mean?
3. Can I use my fixed deposit as proof of funds?

Thanks for your response.
