Thank you so much and God bless you �

Hmmm you don't mean it? Then i guess the underground theory flying around that someone somewhere knows more than what they are telling us.
How can you be the conduit of updates and communications for criminal gangs in a country where we have several official channels of Communications.
Nigerian government please lets wake up ohhhh.

This one that it’s a daily case in Abuja we all need to be extra careful in the FCT and follow the WHO guidelines of staying safe and COVID 19 free.

Iyamarun:
Pls o.

I've sent my statement of result of diploma to wes 5 times. And each time after the "we are processing a new document" I get hit with another email from wes saying "not received"

All other ones I sent including transcript for the diploma and bsc has been received and accepted. Certificate for bsc received and accepted. Just the diploma one saying not received. If it wasn't accepted it would have been a different case. Pls what do I do?.

Hello I think if its your Statement of result then its better you send it through hellofax,its free and I can assure you that WES will confirm receipt of the document few days later.
Just try it and let's see if it works.

If you are going for the New Brunswick seminar In Abidjan, pls hit my whatsapp link below.

Hey Bro,i applied and up till now no response from them.When did you get your invite?And did you include french Speaking as part of your language skills when submitting the online form?

Hello my fellow PR hopeful,
I have a little challenge that i am wondering if i can get a solution on this thread and that is why i am writing this.
I have read about how WES has rejected the format in which schools send in their verification back to WES to confirm certificates and transcripts and i don't want to take such chances,that is the reason i want to ask if there is anyone who knows how the format of the reply that schools send to WES to verify certificates and transcripts is drafted.
This will really be of help so that my institution doesn't waste my time and money sending the document in the wrong format as they are claiming they are not sure of the format to be used.
The gurus who can help out should please help a brother.

ysd01:
Good morning people, please when is the Canadian immigration program ending? Thank you in advance.

Bros don't sit there and be asking when it will end,if you are interested then get off your ass and do something towards actualizing that dream cos no one can tell you for sure for how long it will continue because policies can change without notice.

Hey Family,I am so surprised that just now now the new thread is already on the 4th page.I know most of us that started this thread will also share our own stories very soon.Lets continue to seek support and also for those who know more than others please lets continue to assist ourselves.It will all end in praise!!!

Good day family and how is the push towards actualizing our Canadian dream?It will all end in Praise for all of us.
Please house,i need your help in clarifying an issue about WES in regards their latest requirement of not asking for WAEC/NECO compulsorily again.I got an information that one can remove a document that was previously added if you are yet to submit that document and in our own case,its my wife's NECO that i want to remove because i have sent in her degree but not done anything in regards the NECO yet so i want to confirm from this family of sharp brains if its possible to remove her NECO and how it can be done since WES can now evaluate without NECO or WAEC.
Please help a brother out so we can go past this ECA thing and move to the next level please,thank you.

Annphils:
Pls shed more light on how to use the gtb master card. Do i click credit card and continue the process.
Kindly reply

Yes please, it will prompt you to choose the option of the type of card,but make sure you have close to 70k in that card so the transaction goes smoothly if you are using WES and paying $227.

kayvinci:
How else can I pay for WES, tried my diamond bank Visa card and ecobank Mastercard, it keeps saying payment cannot be processed

I would advice you use GTB MasterCard,it goes immediately cos have tried it twice and it worked.

KaceeDcontrol:
Guys, please what was the cut off point for the last draw?
I tried to skim through recent posts but couldn't find it.

The cut off for the last draw held on the 24th of July was 459,not sure there has been any draw after that.We are anxiously waiting for the next one.

Hey my Canny people,
Please i need help to proceed with my processing please via WES.I want to proceed with my wife's evaluation through WES and there is this critical question about what name to use to process her documents.The Dilemma is in between using her maiden name which is on her certificates and using the name on her international passport which has my surname on it but the full names on her school document is also included making it now three names as against the two names she used in school.
Please house help me with a speedy response my people,thanks.

Good morning and hope you are good?
Seeing your response to what someone wrote made me also think I need help and I want to ask for it.
I am about to do my wife's WES but am having this challenge of not knowing if I should use her maiden name on her credentials to process the WES or her new name which carries my surname and which is also on her international passport to process the WES processing.
Please anyone can help respond to this question cos I want to finalise and pay for the WES possibly today.
Thanks as I await responses from our gurus to guide me on the right thing to do.

jummolami:
Welcome on board.
You and your wife need to make cic.gc.ca your friend first and read well about the whole process.
Page 1 is full of information that you need from start to finish.

Little hint:
Your wife can be the PA and you be under her (if she qualifies more in terms of age, work experience and qualification)
You can add point to her being PA by taking ielts and evaluate your master.

Goodluck!

Hello house,please help a brother out in regards information for WES reference number.When do i get the reference number,is it when i complete my registration on the site and make payment with my card?
I want to start with my WAEC confirmation this coming week and i do not have a reference number yet for WES.

beepromise:
So, the process is pretty straight.
1. Get an affidavit @ #1,500 (there's a court @ Sabo).
2. Buy Waec scratch card @ #1,500 (available @ waec office).
3. Have a minimum of 4 passport photographs (though 3 is what you really need).
4. Get two small brown envelopes (available @ waec @ #50).
5. Obtain the result confirmation form. Fill and pay Waec verification fee (10,000).
6. Go with your receipt to the customer service section to pay courier charge (there are 2 options: DHL @ 11,500. UPS @ 9,000).

The process should take about 30-40mins.

Starring:
Two study abroad agents, One Canadian Immigration agent, The men and women of the Accra visa office, Big Daddy Ralph and my humble self formerly known as AmeComplique.

Now the Story Begins.....

NB: I did the first draft of this post in November 2018, but Alas brethren God had other plans for me.

The Beginning....
It all started when I got a job with a paramilitary agency sometime in 2016 right after my masters, I knew immediately that I was going to hate the job (i despise redundancy and i felt i was too young to be wasting away just like that). After my first month, I told myself I wasn't going to spend more than two years on the job (even though I exceeded the time frame, praise God I'm finally leaving). My dad hated the job even more than I did and successfully talked me into starting a PhD program.

I reluctantly started the program in one unnecessarily expensive private university. The only thing that kept me in was the thought of having 'Dr.' in front of my name by 26 (man proposes abi. LOL). After my first semester, i knew I wasn't going to use the 'Dr' in front of my name to live the kind of life i wanted, then the search for a better life began...

I stumbled upon a "study in Germany" agency sometime in February/March 2017, and decided to give migrating yet another shot. The plan was to start my PhD all over again or even go for another masters. I just wanted to leave. I really carried myself to the agency one Saturday afternoon after work. Long story short, they didn't see or hear from me after that day.

Not long after that, a friend at the office mentioned another agency, this time I decided to give applying for a Masters or PhD in Canada a shot. While i was still toying around with the idea, someone randomly mentioned Express entry in May 2017. When i realised how much was invloved and the fact that I had to "write a test" I completely forgot about it until I realised the PhD in Canada dream wasn't going to come to pass at the time.

Looking back, I think the idea of having to write IELTS was what deterred me from starting sooner. But you know what they say about God's time.


The Beginning of the Actual Journey....

ECA (WES)
After the PhD in Canada dream crashed, I decided to start the Express entry journey. Asked around, did very very little research (I wish i had read more) and figured evaluating my degree was going to be the first hurdle.

Started in July 2017, finally got my report in November 2017.

First IELTS :
September 30th, 2017.
So I had this "it's just English" mindset going in for the first test, boy was I in for a massive surprise. This thoroughly and completely discouraged me!! I gave up on the whole journey all over again!

Re-trying the Study route:
Seeing as IELTS didn't favour me on the first try (sour loser like me), I decided to retry my luck with the study route. I attended a study in Canada fair at Eko Hotel, then went ahead to start boosting my travel history (��) hence the UAE trip (all because the representative from the Canadian high commission at the fair said they mostly give student visas to individuals with extensive travel histories (a UAE my waka end sha, na where money reach).

I decided to apply to two universities for Masters and Accelerated Nursing in October/November 2017. Thanks to the NASU strike then, i couldn't get my transcripts early enough. I would later come to learn that both my applications were unsuccessful.

Getting an agent:
See ehn ignorance is not good! I was too lazy to read extensively about the process, so I took everything I heard about it to be true. I mean! I remember one guy telling me that when you get your PR Visa, you would have to travel with your POF in cash, and that the Immigration officer will count it in your presence and if its less by even 1 dollar, they'll put you on the next flight back to Nigeria. LMAOOOOO.

Someone from work introduced me to an agent who was going to charge about 3,000 US dollars or so and said my first IELTS scores would be sufficient. According to him, he was going to assist with applying through the PNP route. He sounded very promising, so I paid the first instalment (1k US dollars). He requested for some documents, but baba no do anything o. Baba didn't even encourage me to take the test again to boost CRS score or anything. When i decided to free the guy was when he said he would see what he could do on or before December 2018, that by then he would have found the right immigration program for me apply through (Lmaooo OVOKO). This was just around February 2018 o, me that was already seeing myself eating snow by December? You lie sir.

That was the moment i started considering retaking the test.

Second IELTS :
I talked to God about retaking the test and got my go ahead. I apllied about 2 months ahead and began studying. Thank God for IELTS Liz, that site changed everything for me mehn. Finally took the test in May. I still remember how I rolled on the floor thanking God when I got my result (Thank God i was at home that day. Lol).

Going back to the Agent:
I really didn't want my money to go down the drain just like that, so i informed the agent of the new scores. Next thing, baba asked for another 1000 US dollars to fill my express entry profile, and i was to pay the last 1000 US dollars after ITA. LMAOOOOOOOO. You say wetin?

Pre ITA:
I carry my two legs enter pool by myself, start to swim immediately!!! To be honest I still didn't read up as much as I should have and made a lot of mistakes when filling out my profile. For example, i was utterly confused about my correct NOC code. Seeing as i was in the paramilitary, i didn't know if i was to go with the code for my specific duties in my unit, my department or general duties as a paramilitary officer. I had sleepless nights!

Finally went with one that covered my duties in my Department, I still wasn't comfortable with it. So even after i submitted my profile, i kept searching.

ITA :
Got my ITA shortly after entering the pool, I had already started gathering my documents as soon as I got my results. The only delay was with the medicals, I would have been able to submit my application the following day sef ��.

POST ITA
Now back to the NOC issue, i ended up changing the code to one that reflected my duties in my unit in my e-APR, after i go my reference letter (I didn't explain in my LOE). To be honest, i didn't know the one i picked previously would still reflect, i only found out after i had already submitted my application (more sleepless nights).

PROOF OF FUNDS:
Na God do this one!!! This was one of my major fears before i started this journey, but somehow even in death, God used my Mum to come through for me. Unexpected entitlements started dropping from different corners few months before i retook my test.

I still remember the day i got ITA and realised i had to pay another 300k. I started crying! I didn't want my dad to know about the process until it was almost done (he doesn't want to hear anything about relocating), so that was a no go area. My man (A complete blessing in human form) had already brought out all he had and more. We prayed that evening and started hoping. Even tabled it during the Hallelujah challenge that night.

The next day (my birthday), i got a call from my mum's office to pick up a cheque they had stalled for over 6 months. I was expecting about a hundred thousand from there. I already started looking for things to sell to make up the remainder. I got to the office to pick up the cheque. I burst out in tears when I saw the amount. Lo and behold it was almost double the amount i needed. TALK ABOUT A WONDER WORKING GOD!!!!

Post AOR:
Found this thread and many others on Canada Visa, Quora, and facebook after i had submitted my application and I started poking holes in every thing i submitted. All of a sudden, my scans were no longer clear enough, my reference letters started to look too similar. That Mark Holte man gave me the biggest nightmares fa!. Ahhhh I had sleepless nights thinking about what i could have done differently. An example was the NOC issue.

One major concern came from the fact that since I work for the federal government; (a paramilitary agency for that matter), it would draw unnecessary attention to my application, i remember the agent pointed this out then. The devil started drawing me to experiences of other military and paramilitary applicants. Shook that one off like after a week or more (It came back when i got the ADR).

Found out my application was sent to the Accra visa office when I raised a CSE, see wahala. I joined a couple of WhatsApp groups so I could track other applications. Then I found out applicants from 2017 were still in queue. I told myself my case would definitely be different. I told God I wanted to testify to his name on this matter. I realized later that the WhatsApp groups only made me worry more, so I left all of them and stuck to this thread and the Life in Canada sister thread in faith.

I rememeber reading Kwado's PPR post in November and going through the bible passages he had in it and just then something said "start writing out your PPR post"; which I did, not long after my spirit fell again thanks to news of Accra not tending to applications till "early 2019".

In the later part of November 2018, I started thinking about cancelling my application! The big question was still, what if it landed back in Accra

Another major cause for concern I had was when I heard gist that the Admin officer that signed my reference letter had "japa-ed" to the UK. Na there high blood pressure start again o.

ADR
I remember getting the mail for ADR on a Monday morning (February 25th) just after parade. I ran to my car to open my profile thinking it was either going to be PPR or interview invite, i was shaking sha (ended up locking my keys in my car that morning). Looll. Anyway sha that one was practice.

Another cause for concern with the ADR was the fact that I didn't have payslips or salary statement of account for the first employment I claimed points for. The only proof of payments I had were for two payments made for what i was owed after i had left the company. I submitted the statement like that.

Second concern was that I had fixed POF like 2 weeks before the ADR came and i had even done like 4 fixed deposits between AOR and the last fixed deposit. So, terminated the fixed deposit, then i got the fixed deposit documents for all the months i fixed for scanned it in addition to my statement of account.

Wrote a letter of explanation to cover the two concerns I had.

Mail to Big Daddy Ralph
My friend told me to reach out to Ralph's office about my application, I sent the mail in the very early hours of 2nd April. I got word that evening (while standing beside my car that had just packed up at iyana ipaja bus stop) that Eligibility, Security and Criminality had been passed earlier that day. I was busy smiling while my colleagues and concerned citizens were trying to help out.

Checked my profile that evening and saw Application updated; I was in IP2 (Background check in progress)

PPR!!!!!!!!
The golden mail came on the 3rd of April 2019, 8months and 26days from AOR inside Idumota. Told my dad that evening and he was ecstatic, my siblings were too excited. Oga was over the moon. Me sha didn't sleep that night, i was feeling too giddy.

Submitted Passport and all the orishi rishi they asked for at VFS on the following day. That day was a very hectic one sha, had to borrow a laptop to fill out the form IMM008 as mine had issues, their printer wasn't working in the first studio 24 (Ikeja city mall) i went to, had to go to Allen. Ended up getting to VFS at 2:30pm, better late than never abi?

Now the planning and research contines intensively...

Word of Advice....
For anyone on this journey losing hope for one reason or the other, I urge you to please keep the faith. God works wonders. Imagine if i had given up after the first test (me wey hate failure pass as i hate satan). LOL.

Also, read, research and ask questions, who dey ask question nor dey miss road.

Again, i know we all want to keep everything hush hush until it's all done, but you don't know who can/will have one beneficial information or the other (but try spot whether na bad belle first biko)...

I just remembered the leather jackets i bought from Katangoa late 2017, told my sister i was buying them in faith .

I am so so grateful to God Almighty for this sha. It is more than a dream come through, I just wish my mum was here to see this, but I know she definitely has a fat as* smile on her face up there .

P.S: I had to leave out a very very crucial detail from this post for privacy reasons, I'll definitely update it once I can. Promise.

Pardon any typos biko. The story long small.

I am so happy for you bro...this is actually my first post here and I have to confess have been a silent reader here but I think its good to talk to people and liaise with them so one does not miss it.
Congratulations to you bro!!

He must attend ohh cos we are just waiting to see all the blunders that will come from him that day.

I am sure the person that wrote this article didn't go for NYSC either and the simple reason is this,the call up numbers for NYSC has to do with the institution you attended and the reason you saw NYSC/LAG.....is because Tonye Cole graduated from UNILAG where he studied Architecture and I know that as a fact you can research on that so please if you want to criticise or bring someone down get your facts right please because it could be your turn tomorrow.
..

Please can they pull down this post already?Why will you use the picture of Pastor ID of RCCG City of David to depict such devilish story.Please fear God and remove the picture you added to your post whose source we don't even know if it's verified or not just because you want to feature on FP.

Infact you will lose money trying to get your money because they will tell you to get to $150 dollars before you can withdraw then ask you to pay money to get referrals because they know you can not manufacture 40 referrals,out of desperation you will pay for referrals and your money is gone.
Just spend your quality time on something else bro,they are bunch of con men.

I have come to realize that a lot of Nigerian young school leavers from year to year keep staying at home because of their inability to meet up with the traditional cut-off mark of JAMB and also the Post-UME exams that has become the order of the day for schools to trim down applicants to be offered admission and also use the fees paid by the crowd of students seeking admission in these schools to increase their income and at the end of the day deny these students admission in to the university of their choice.
I want to help such people who want to explore other options and even better ones by helping them with schools and the countries where they can seek such options at the lowest and affordable tuition.
You can drop your email so i forward you the links,so we can help ourselves.
