Plismoll:
Hello house,can anyone suggest the acceptable way to notarize degree certificate here in Nigeria for MSc admission in Finland. I applied to LUT last yr with complete documents(IELTS-7.5,Transcript sent by my University,CV...and my degree certificate stamped and signed "Certified True Copy" by a notary in the Ministry of Justice of my State).Unfortunately,my application was disqualified by UAF at the eleventh hour,stating that the "Certified True Copy" stamp was unacceptable.Kindly advise cos I don't wish to waste my money like last yr.Thank u!

That's strange.
Did they put a read seal on it?
Or was it just Stamped and signed?

emmabod:

howfar,
Have you done the numeracy test?
I did mine yesterday with no acknowledgment from them but i noticed this morning that my status changed from "you have completed an online test" to "Your application is under consideration"

Do you notice this also?

Bro, yes I did it last night. Just got an invite for the verbal test.

Cheers!

kiete:

Thanks bro and I wish you success in your numeracy.
...... In other words, there's hope. I completed mine on Nov 20.

Thanks boss!

kiete:

Bro when did you complete your SJT?

Nov 17

Applied for Engineering too.
Just got invited for the online numeracy test.

Cheers guys

Applied for Engineering on sat. Got SJT invite on sunday.

You don't need both as you only need to assess your highest qualification, so if you are sure that your Master's degree would be equivalent to a Canadian Master's then you should only assess your Master's.

However, you've mentioned that you are yet to complete your Master's therefore you can't assess it because you'll need a copy of your certificate or Statement of Results to send to WES which you currently don't have. If you can't wait till December or March then you should assess your Bachelor's but beware, it'll be quite tough to score over 450 with a BSc except you are between 20 - 29 years of age and blast your IELTS otherwise you'll have to look at going via the PNP route.

The difference in points between a Master's and a Bachelor's degree is 14 hence it's up to you to decide if you can wait.

My advice though would be for you to wait till your Statement of Results is out in December. Meanwhile start preparing the other documentation such as writing your IELTS, gathering the necessary police certificates and arranging your funds.

Thanks a lot!

JesusDWay:


I'm supposing the cert you don't have is that of the Msc, anyway, I will suggest you send everything you can send, let WES determine if they will want to see your statement of result or certificate before doing the evaluation

Thanks boss

Nice Job here guys. Just discovered this thread and I've taken time to read from the beginning.

Did IELTS Sept 26: L:9 R:9 W:8.5 S:7 (guess i am good to go)

From what I've read here, i guess the next thing to do is WES evaluation.

I have a BSc and almost done with MSc. Will I evaluate just MSc or both degrees?

Also, do I need my certificate for the evaluation or just transcripts (I noticed only transcripts is mentioned on this thread)

I can obtain my transcript now but I have to wait till december for statement of result and till march for certificate. So i want to know if I can proceed with WES now.

Thanks good people.

@ Zandora and other bosses, pls help to answer this.

Hello JesusDWay,

Good day to you.

I am completing EOI on NBPNP Express Entry Labour Market Stream Self-Assessment Form, New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program which I plan to submit early next month, what are the meanings of Job Seeker Validation; Express Entry Key Number and where can I find them?

Thanks.

Hi, I followed your question and the answers provided.

Does it mean one has to register in the EE pool, be eligible and get those 2 numbers, before one can submit an EOI for NBPNP?

. I am in Arabiarantaa. I don't have an appartment yet. So I'd need someone that has one that I can share with and share the cost. The month is almost ended. It wouldn't make economic sense to pay for a full month.

ICEBERG, if you do know someone...please holler. Thanks for responding.

Oh!...sorry.

I thought u have an AYY apartment and just looking for a roommate.

Get in touch with your tutors. They can arrange a temporary apartment for you. And by the way, u should apply for an apartment asap, against Oct 1.

Cheers!

Itzmusiccafe:

adexbaba010:

Baba, weather is ok now. I heard this is about the best time u could have in Finland, being summer. The temperature is around 20 degrees. But forget no be the same level with those our China a.c temp. However no matter how cold it is outside, the houses are well heated that u will just feel like u de nija for ur room, na when u commot, like go outside u go know how far. But baba, magooooo... from September i hear say it will be a lot different, like the temp go drop below 0 degrees. So he go be indoor things! Yoruba will say that 'eni ti a n gbe iyawo bo wa ba, kii garun'.... Experience they say is the best teacher, seeing is believing!

LoL....yeah.... this is the best time.....and a good time to come too, cos u experience the drop in temp gradually, it helps to adapt.

Cheers sir!

And some rubbish was circulating recently about bargaining too much with road side traders. Now we can see not all of them are poor.

Again!!....Another Northern appointment!

Sureb0y, who spoke to you on phone?....A Nigerian or a Finn?

If they wanna verify anything, its usually done before RP is granted. Also remember they themselves recommended Mutual benefits and AIICO, so they definitely have no problem with verification.

And also, they would send you a mail not a phone call. If its a Nigerian that called, i honestly have doubts on the allegation. Those naija embassy staff are the worst set of people on earth (after ISIS and BH). But if its a Finn, then you can consider earlier suggestions. Get all necessary documents from Mutual benefits, Let them write Finnish embassy directly as well. And try to book an appointment at the embassy to see them face to face. If its indeed a fake document they gave you, then they should be ready to cough out some millions in damages, for sure!!.

It is well bro!

pearl360:



Hahaha.....
Yea I'd perform Nicki Minaj's Anaconda...

Smiles.... I wouldn't mind that.

pearl360:


I don't know what's wrong with Chike.
He's not been having this "wooooow" performance. It's always just average.....


Dehinde be forming badoo. I don't really like him though, but he did well.

Pearl, you should be preparing for your next performance. What are you doing on nairaland?

Blackett:
Your head has it's own naturally shaped roof.

Ok sir!
