Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by ijoseda(m): 5:31am On Oct 29, 2018
I can't really call what I have a study plan.

I had a month to prepare for the IELTS exam. I dedicated 2hrs daily (weekday) and about 3hrs daily (weekend) to the preparation.

1. I started by watching introductory videos to understand the structure of the exam (My first time of attempting the exam). There are some good videos on youtube (between 15 to 30 min long). Once I get a good video, I save it in a folder that I created on youtube.

2. I downloaded come materials from the internet (Cambridge series). That numbered book - Series 1 to 12/13. I just picked a couple of them with the audio file for the listening section.

3. I did some exercises to assess my level/establish baseline performance. The exercise also helped me to understand my weak points and areas of strength. I did 2each of LR and I left W till a little later.

4. I started watched specific videos on the LSWR sections from youtube (IELTSLIZ and other ones. Several links have been shared here). 45min of video and 1hr practice of R or L daily. In that way, I was able to do about 10 L&R exercises. For the listening, practice using a headset and try to simulate the exam condition as much as possible - Don't pause recordings and resist the temptation to rewind when you miss something out.

5. About 10days to the exam, I was quite confident with the L&R section, so I focused on the W and S section. That was when I downloaded the speaking app I talked about. For the W, I downloaded the exam answer sheet from the internet and that was what I was using to practice. I also watched a specific video on writing - There is this guy - 'Jay', I think he has the best videos on W. I did about 5 writing practices (section 1&2)

6. Make sure you do your corrections when you finish all the exercise. The speaking app records your voice. Listen to it very well and pick out your mistakes.

That was how I prepared for the exam. I hope it made sense sha.

All the best!

There is this app that I used for my IELTS speaking preparation. It's called IELTS Speaking on Apple App store.

Quite useful!

My best friend and my Madam kept telling me that my 'EFIKO" too much with the way I was preparing for the IELTS exam. Me that I know what my problem is with English! I got C4 in GCE (English Language) that I did in SS2 and WAEC gave me P7 in the one I did in SS3. Na since that time I don dey fear English Language!

Anyway, first attempt and I had 8.5,8.5,7.5 and 7 - LRSW.

Praise Jehova with me brethren!

cheesy cheesy cheesy

efueh:
No announcement of IELTS result from yesterday’s release? This is strange here, well may God meet our IELTS expectations asap.

Today’s writing task two question: Some people think it is important to spend a lot of money on wedding celebration. Others disagree.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

May today’s IELTS favor all those that sat for it; amen.

People of God, help me o! Let me summarise my long post.

For PoF, I am expecting some money for work done and it'll cover the PoF required. However, I intend to print bank statement for October -December (the fund will be in my account for just 6-8weeks). Is there a problem with this? Should I wait for the fund to be 'breathing' in my account for 3 months before printing out statement of account?

Thank you!

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the good work on this thread!

I started my PR runs in September 2018. I am expecting IELTS result and ECA assessment by the end of this month. Based on the CRS simulation that I did, I should have a score of between 440-448 (I don old small). I intend to get into the pool by middle to end of November (waiting for my spouse's ECA - MSc was in Nigeria, so a little delayed)

I need a bit of clarification on the POF. Here is my peculiar situation.

I work as an independent consultant with erratic income, however, 80% of my income is from two sources and I intend to include those sources as part of my employment history. In the past 3 months, I've not earned from those two sources, however, I expect some inflow from both sources in November. The expected sum is large enough to cover my POF. My dilemma is this; [/b]If I print out my statement of account by end of December(OCT-DEC), the fund from those two sources wouldn't have stayed in my account for more than 6weeks, but it'll be clear that it is my personal fund since I have the contract papers to back it up. Will this be a problem? [b]

The other option would be for me to keep the fund in the account from November till the end of January and then print out the 3 months statement. The implication of this is that I can't enter the pool until late December or early January.

My good people, I need your advice! (my preference would be to get into the pool ASAP)

U see enh! in this part of the world, its very common for people to engage in side gigs which even pays more than their regular jobs.

As long as you can legitimately prove that the funds are yours, i dont see why you cant enter the pool immediately IELTS and ECA are ready.

After all, some peeps didn't even include statement of account in their application, just FXD and or T-bills as the case may be and they chilling in Toronto as at time of responding to your question. others can weigh in tho

Thank you so much for your response! I'll wait for others to also weigh in on this!

Hi guys, an innocent by-stander here! Thanks for all the good work.

For those waiting for WAEC to send confirmation of result to WES, I think the wait is over. I checked my spouse’s profile on WES today and it’s been updated as received.

Cheers and good luck!
