If you're just coming across this POV it means you've not properly done your research on express entry.

That is what I was about typing here. It's obvious that he has not done his research well. Like @Canadianfly mentioned earlier, this issue was dealt with last year on the living in canada thread, first hand experience not just someone POV being generalised. Part of the response to the same tweets., a guy mentioned that his friend landed in February and got a job with a big bank in march/ April.
I saw a lady's tweet yesterday where she mentioned that it will take her 3-4yrs to get her professional license to practice but she is working in a Home Depot as a shelve stockist for now. According to her tweet, she is living a more better life with her current job than when she was a professional in Nigeria.
I encourage people to read more, be ready to face the challenges over there and not to just fold your arms thinking everything is automatic for ilu Oyinbo when u get there.

Please does anyone know whether I can collect my IELTS TRF from IDP on the 13th day after my test day or does it have to be later than that?

You can pick up at their office. You will be sent a mail before the 13th day to indicate where I want to collect ur TRF . Another good thing ur TRF number will be stated when you check the result online.

ICAN to ACCA is not a MRA ,you only get exemptions but you still write exams to pass finally

That is the interpretation most of us gave to that statement. Pls do u know anyone that has gone through this route? @talkingboy see this..

Hi,

Just like somebody has already suggested. Going through ACCA is your best bet at the moment, because with ICAN you will need to write CPA exams (I don't know how many, but it feels like a lot still).



From what is stated on CPA website, people joining ACCA with MRA do not qualify for the conversion.

Nobody said it was a magic wand for getting higher scores..I'm only saying that people who use BC for EOR receive favorable outcomes.

At the end of the day, to each his own.


Some were lucky with BC while some were not.

I had evaluated my Btech degree @ $233.91. After I received my Msc degree, I applied to evaluate it @$120.91. I think the cost is lower when u want to add another certificate.

Write a small letter with your reference number as part of the title informing them you prefer standard delivery and fax it to them. In addition make use of the contact us form to inform them of same.

I got ICAN to give me my ATS and ACA transcripts, Letter of Good Standing, I packaged my MBA transcript, filled the relevant CPA forms and the painful part , I had to part with 480 CAD processing fee and DHL courier fees (man eye don see enuf in this PR hustle  ).

Hello everyone,
Please my hubby has just one stage left for ICAN and I want to know if we can evaluate the incomplete one with WES to boost scores for CRS.
thank you

Don't bother wasting money cos some of the qualified members didn't get positive evaluation. Just let him prepare very well for may diet so that by November he can evaluate his ACA and may be lucky to get positive evaluation then.

Okay. I think the summary is "Completion of a college-level certificate (one year)". With that, I believe you are good to go.

According to IRCC, to get points for "two or more certificates", one of the certificates should be a three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree PLUS any of the results in the sections below. The "sections below" refers to:

1. Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute or
2. Two-year [/b]degree, diploma or [b]certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute or
3. One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other [b]institute.
[/b]

Read more here.
Based on no 2 above, I believe with ICAN evaluated as 2year professional study, people should be able to choose two or more certificates.

Thank you so much. This advice is so on apt. I have chilled from yapping about Canada o and don't even brood about it so it doesn't come between us.

We will definitely make the short landing and I hope he falls in love with Canada.



Let me share this with you. My brother never liked the idea of relocating to Canada 8yrs ago. He decided to do short landing and come back to Naija hustle as an architect but never came back until 7yrs later. He admonished all his friends to relocate. He is doing pretty well over there now. So fear not, when Oga reach ILu Oba, he will definitely have a change of mind.

That's true cos how will I bear the brunt for what wasn't my fault. Will make sure I use all means to get my msg across to them ... I pray I get a way forward this week. Thanks

I even went as far as arguing with one of the female customer care officers when she insisted I opened the my transcript from ICAN. Send mail to this email address and be nice in ur introduction and ur explanation. lgrogg@wes.org. I guess she is a senior official.

Hello All,
Happy Sunday! Please, how long does it take WES to change status from 'awaiting verification' ? My school already sent the verification over a week ago but the status on WES website is showing 'on hold' and awaiting verification. Anyone that already passed through this stage should kindly enlighten me. Thanks.

Give them some few days, if the verification was sent via email, it will be more faster but if it is physical mail u may give them some time more. The moment ur status changes, ur report due date will also be stated.

Hello house

Pls I need your opinion. School (OOU) finally sent my transcript to WES but got an email from WES stating that the transcript has been tampered with due to the way it was sealed. And school said they need WES to return the transcript before anything can be done. I've been mailing WES ever since just to get a solution to this to avoid spending that much all over again, but got no response. Don't knw if there is anything I can do? Pls want to know if anybody has been in this situation before and what was done to resolve it and also any advice on what to do to avoid spending almost 80k again. Thanks.


Plz call their customer care line, explain to them. Also DM their twitter handle. I was once in that situation and I kept calling their customer care nos everyday until I was able to speak with a supervisor. Also, do this, track the package on their website, see when it was delivered and compare with when your status was updated or when u received the mail. Further more, insist you didn't tampered with the transcript cos u didn't see it. Suggest to them to verify from the institution. It took me 2 weeks to get mine resolved.

Whao.. so this gist about ICAN giving a favourable evaluation is probably dependent on the officer in charge.. until we see more people come up with thier evaluation results so we can know if it's a particular year upwards that get the favourable result.



Well, according to goldengem posts, it was evaluated as a 3 year degree. It is believed that this applies to only the new syllabus which was adopted in 2014. Let's wait for more people's report to know where we really belong.

Hello All, in light of the new policy (see attachment) on withdrawal from Pension funds, hope it will not affect our POF plans?

This is in respect to voluntary contribution made by the contributor not the statutory pension contribution. The VC was designed to encourage people to make additional contribution towards their retirement. Also, in order to encourage this, VC was exempted from the computation of PAYE under the new tax regime thereby becoming a tax avoidance method that can be adopted by an employee to reduce his/her tax liability (paye).

Presently as Naija people wey we be, employee will contribute a certain amount as VC which is deducted from source (salary) thereby significantly reducing their tax liability then will go round and make withdrawal of same from their RSA account. So this practice defeated the purpose and short change the govt.
In conclusion, this does not affect the 25% withdrawal from the statutory pension contribution when a contributor is out of job for 4 months.
Me Sef dey rush go request for my VC on Monday to escape the deadline.
