Well to be honest I'm not sure... I think I'm just assuming that they would have a branch in Abuja as well.

It’s only IOM MHAC in Abuja

How to book the appointment without an ITA is the issue here

Tbh I don’t know about this. But if you are certain you will get an ITA at the next draw.....You can book an appointment. But I don’t see the rush as the Medicals doesn’t take time.

Please can you explain how to go about this


You schedule an appointment with any of the approved clinics in Lagos or Abuja. I am not sure of the one in Lagos but its IOM MHAC for Abuja.You make the payment, go for the tests and you will get a print out that same day which you will attach to your PR application. The clinic sends your results to IRCC 2-3 days after you complete your test.

Hello all

Am I supposed to do it and submit when submitting my pr application or I wait till ircc requests for it?

Do it before submitting your application. It’s called upfront medicals.

The first time i ever filled it, i put 40 hours and still got rejected. The only thing that I changed before being eligible was the Amount.
I applied 6 times, only thing diff the last time was the amount

Also , i have more than the POF stated , when i was inputting 14k and it didn’t work is why I reverted to the exact number

I can imagine your frustration. Maybe you focus on your work experience page. Maybe you use a proper job title instead of intern/contract staff. Look for job titles in your NOC and take one that best suits your role. And the job title should be consistent across the place you worked.

E.g IT technician, ABC company-1 year
IT technician, EFG company-1 year
IT technician, XYZ company-1 year
Minimum of 3 years on one job role. I hope this helps sha

Still on this, Just to test, i used a Single and Continous 2 years as work experience is only, and i still got ineligible profile.
What could be wrong please, cos obviously its not the work experience.


I think you should check your NOC code. Not all codes are eligible for Express Entry. That should be the major problem.

I also had the same issue. Make sure your job falls under skill A,B or O. Any job under skill C is ineligible. Hope this helps

Can police certicate be done in any other city besides Lagos ?Cities like Port Harcourt or Warri?Will it be accepted?
I ask because on IRCC page they provided Alagbon Lagos as the only center to obtain Police certificate in Nigeria.

Yes it can be done. They would have to send it to Lagos for you because that’s where their database is.

The recording is played once. What’s the point writing your answers in the question paper, and then coming back to transfer the same answer to the answer sheet?

Why not write/type your answers directly in the answer sheets as the recording is playing, and then come back to correct any errors?

You could have helped him/her clarify you were advising. You made it sound like he is forbidden from doing it.

Even the instructions say you should write down and transfer your answers.And who is to say this method of writing down isn’t best for him/her? But as you have clarified it’s your advice.

Like i have said earlier, he should by himself find out which method works for him.

how do u do listening since u can't write on question paper on cbt.. ? It seems hard to do.. wats ur scope

Please don’t let anyone mislead you. You can write on your question paper. It is not difficult, the key is practice!! Practice!!! . Try and simulate the real exam conditions, time yourself, realize your weakness. Also try using CBT, you might find it easier than paper. I did CBT and I found out it was easier. They give you headsets so you can listen and concentrate better....just increase to the loudest and you hear every word being said. The only downside is that you don’t have the extra time to transfer answers. So explore CBT no fear!!

Better still dear, go online and do your research yourself.... go on youtube you will see a lot of useful materials. Just type what you want and you get!!! Information is free, just do the work.

In listening, you’re not even supposed to write in the question paper, whether CBT or paper based. You should write your answers directly as the recording only plays once

That is not true. You can write on your question paper. Its just not advisable because it’s a bit distracting. Its best to listen, get the answer and write it down immediately on the answer sheet. Go back and check for spelling or any errors at the end of the section. Or just keep practicing and see which method is more suitable for you.

Thank you for the response.
I would submit before my ITA expires. I just want to be sure my EE profile won't expire while ITA period is still valid. Late submission is due to a specific document.
Thanks.

Your EE profile won’t expire. But I can’t say the same for if your ITA expires.

Good day all,

Please help with the 2 questions below;

(1) I already got ITA and I have started documents gathering but my EE profile would expire on the 18th of December, 2020 and I plan on submitting my application few days after 18th of December, 2020. Hope my EE profile won't expire before I am able to submit?

(2) Also, the Banks I have been to insist I must open a DOM account to get a Dollar Card. Anyone who has been able to pay the app and other fees without opening a DOM account or by other means should help me out.

Thanks in advance.

1. If you submit after your ITA expires, means it has expired. Hence you cant submit any application again. You would have to re-apply, enter the pool and get another ITA. Why do you plan on submitting late? Money issues or you are having issues with getting some documents?

2. Either get someone who has a DOM account to help you pay or get someone you trust in canada or US to help with the transaction. You will have to convert to US dollars if you are using a DOM account or a US debit card and that would cost you extra money

Thanks for the information but on my profile Status still shows On hold awaiting institution to verify your document even though the MSC has been updated to accepted.

Funny enough, both degrees are from the same institution.

Yes. The school would still verify your result as WES will message them. Once your school responds, your evaluation would be completed shortly after. So just calm down or try to contact your school if you can to speed up the verification process.

Hope this helps.

True in this case.

However, some applicants may require their bachelors evaluated as well, not for additional points, especially those going through PNP pathways that their undergrad degree evaluation may be required.

True. But then they will have to do a separate WES Evaluation just for the bsc.

Hello , thanks to everyone for all the helpful information on this trend.
Please how do I get WES to evaluate only my MSC degree. I had earlier sent in request for both my degrees but now they have received verification email for my MSc while the BSC is still outstanding. I want to withdraw the BSC. Any advise?

You don’t have to contact them to remove it. I did the same thing you did. Before I could send in my Bsc, my evaluation was completed. They would only evaluate your Msc. No need to stress. Just follow up with your school so they can verify quickly when WES contacts them.

I've been practicing Listening with IELTSLiz and doing well but immediately I started using ieltsonline, it's become quite brutal. Any advice?

Include Ielts advntage(best writing format), E2 Ielts on youtube (their speaking and reading tutorials are very good) and Fast track ielts on youtube (great listening tips). Download a marking score and grade yourself on every task, monitor your progress. You can achieve your desired score in 2-4 weeks. I used these materials and achieved a band 8 on my first try...studied for one week .

All the best

Below is my IELTS Story from the 6th Thread.



Hello Everyone,

Trust we are all prepared for the 2019 train?

I will just like to share my IELTS testimony and encourage someone out there going through the wilderness of IELTS. My timeline is as follows:

Attempt 1= 1st Feb. 18 LRWS 8,8,6,7.5 (BC)
Attempt 2= 12th May LRWS 8, 6.5, 6, 7.5 (EOR W=6.5) IDP
Attempt 3= 18th Aug. LRWS 8, 8.5, 6, 7.5 (EOR W,S =6.5, 8 ) BC
Attempt 4= 13tH Oct. LRWS 8.5, 8, 6.5, 7 (EOR W,S =6.5, 8 ) BC

At this point i was just tired!!! After putting so much effort (after using JAY & LIZ writing materials and videos) i could not get above 6.5. I also made a call for Help here ohhh.... but no one offered assistance. Anyways while reading through the tread @Distinct777 mention that he/she used the materials on this site (https://www.ieltsadvantage.com) for writing....

Attempt 5= 15th Dec LRWS 8.5, 9, 7, 7.5 IDP

All praise be to God!!!! It ended in Praise!!!

Congratulations o!!!!
