The IELTS made N279 million from Nigerians in 2017. N400 million so far in 2018.

I’m doing a short feature on IELTS for my blog and social handles.

Will you be willing to talk on camera or on phone, to share your IELTS experience and key tips for serial failures?

While we work to abolish the IELTS for its shocking hypocrisy, we can also provide support for the thousands of Nigerians who sit for the exam yearly.

Can we talk anytime soon?

Kindly drop (or PM me) your number and I will personally call you up.

Thanks.

laghopeful20181:
yes,received ita in september. was about to submit today when i realised ielts expired 3rd of November. Declined ITA now. Back in the pool. He will do ielts on 1st December. Meanwhile our police certificates will expire 7th december so we will need to redo them too and i will loose 5 points in 2 weeks because of a change in my age

God knows best.

Good morning people,

I am post ITA (5 days left to submit before my deadline). I was uploading supporting documents and cross checking them when I realised my husband's IELTS expired on the 3rd of November (I am the principal applicant). Without his IELTS our score drops to 438 and we would not qualify for the draw from which we were selected (cut off was 441). I have modified family information and changed him to unaccompanying spouse...score becomes 451 hence the children and I can go ahead to submit without him. Note also I loose 5 points in 2 weeks due to age change.
Our choices as I understand them are either
1. Submit without him, sponsor him as a spouse when we get ppr and land
2. Decline invitation, get him to write IELTS, hope he scores well enough and get back in the pool. However with this option, there is the added complication of 5 points lost due to age change...so what's the guarantee we score high enough to meet cut off! I used the CRS tool, using 6666 for IELTS score for him and using my new age... our score would be 442

My questions are:
A. Is there any other option I have not already considered?
B. How long does spousal sponsorship take?(I have researched but you know timeline given by CIC and reality of life sometimes differ and I would prefer to base my decisons on reality)
C. My research indicates that I will not be able to add him after AOR (since it is not a new marriage...visa officer might wonder why the sudden change of mind?). Additionally, I am not sure if even if it is possible to add him after AOR, score will not be recalculated using the fact that he had no valid IELTS at time of ITA received. Is this research accurate or is there a possibility of adding him legally after AOR?

I'm so upset at myself for not paying attention to the IELTS expiry date...this is a lesson to all. As I understand it, unfortunately only age is frozen upon receipt of ITA..IELTS result is not frozen.

Finally ielts has freed my spouse after 3 attempts LRWS Nov 1 BC 8 8 7.5 8.5. His two previous attempts were 10th February BC 6.5 6.5 7 8 and 25 march BC 7 6.5 7 7.5.
I have been on this process since march trying to max out my ielts to 441 because I have a bsc and he has a masters degree so it has been a rollercoaster. I wrote 4 times trying to max out. 6 January 2018 LRWS BC 8.5 7.5 7 8.0
May MOD LRWS 8 7.5 6 7didn't bother getting my TRF
July BC LRWS 8.5 7.5 7 7
01 Nov LRWS 8.5 9 6.5 7.
We have spent close to 600k for everything including hotel bills and transportation for the exams. It has been a frustrating couple of months. I remember back in march telling my hubby that by December we would have been in Canada, not knowing what ielts had in store for my hubby. This whole journey has really taught me patience and perseverance,I won't lie.
I just updated his profile and he is meant to be on 449 but it's showing 464 saying 15 extra CRS additional points for French / bilingualism, and I have checked through over and over didn't fill anything pertaining to knowledge of French language. Pls is this a glitch from the system and is anyone experiencing the same thing.

Dreamliner dude.. Dreamliner. Read up and stop embarrassing yourself.

AZeD1:
Lol RAM uses the Dreamliner from Casablanca to Montreal.

You can go and pass that info to all your friends who are intrigued by your "them say"

PS: you should try flying to different parts of the world. You might learn a thing or two about how airlines work.

AZeD1:
Mr English, the guy you quoted said he had an ok experience. He's only problem was with the inflight entertainment.

With your level of English comprehension, I expect you to know the difference between the two. May be you should enroll for that class yourself.


Anyway your 5 mins of fame is over, its time to go and meet people who have actual experience and not really on "them say"

AZeD1:
Two good experiences , one bad experience and one "them say".
If my math is correct, 2 > 1 so for now RAM still counts as a good experience.



I never knew "them say" trumps my own experience. Hmmm we learn everyday.

I've been surviving with my English just fine so you don't need to worry, if the English ever becomes a problem, I'll switch to French.

jelmusboy:
I once used Royal Air Maroc from UK to Nigeria, it was okay for me. The only error is that the in-flight entertainment is POOR

OYASALOF:
My experience with them wasn't a good one. Flight from UK was good and yes we stopped at casablanca and cotedivoire before getting to Nigeria. Flight back to UK, stopped at casablanca and had a faulty plane that they were trying to fix while we were inside, they eventually had to put us in another plane that didn't start immediately too, but thank God I'm alive to tell the story....

AZeD1:
Are you still pained we were able to fly "cheap"?

Don't worry about my English, its fine just the way it is and I rather keep my comprehension skills the way it is than giving advice based on "them say".

AZeD1:
Lol..... whatever rocks your oga.

AZeD1:
My English comprehension is excellent. You want to see my IELTS result?

AZeD1:
Feel free to take anything you "hear" as the truth.

AZeD1:
I flew Royal Air Maroc and it only stopped at Casablanca. I highly doubt there's a direct flight from Canada to Nigeria so most flights would stop at least once.

You should be careful with the news you hear.

sunvick:
Oga, all my trips from UK to Nigeria, I often use them. No issues with them in the exception that they don't frequently have TVs in most of their flights. So stop peddling hear say, hear say. You have not even flown with them before and you have crucified them.

sistaj:
Hello house,Has anyone travelled with Royal air Maroc.The prices from Lagos are so low to Montreal and comparatively short flight time. Please share your view on their services make I know whether I go rush them as their prices are the best I have seen so far.

Hi guys, please i have a question, a friend has LLB in law 2013 and went to the UK to study master of law in oil and gas finished in 2016. He did WES and evaluated only his master of law (oil and gas) finished in 2016. His work experience with regards to express entry profile will be calculated from 2013 or 2016?

I need responses from gurus pls.

Thanks

Hello Mr Kazeem
A Very good morning to you sir.

I understand your desire to get a job in Canada and I am sure some people might have started sending you email (because you dropped it) that they can help you get a job and so and so,.

May I advise you not to allow yourself get duped. Because they will surely dupe you.

If you are interested in going to Canada as a banker - then i believe you are learned enough to go via this express Entry that we are discusssing on this forum or PNP depending on your circumstance.

Please dont pay anyone to get a job because i smell serious desperation in your message - YOU CAN ONLY GET DUPED.

HOWEVER, If you go to Page One - https://www.nairaland.com/4657743/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

Read the information there and you will get all the answers you need to go to Canada legally and confidently.

PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW SOMEONE SWINDLE YOU OF THE MONEY YOU HAVE.

Hello guys..

Here i thought i was gonna be writing how happy i am to have nailed ielts in the butt... but here we are.. only nailed half of ielts butt..

I finally had the balls to go collect my result today as MOD refused to put up my scores online and my result: L9 R8.5 S7 W7.

The aim was to max out which will put me at 441 but my crs scores just moved from 432 to 435. *sigh.. i don't know what to do.

Or rather i know EOR should be the next step for Speaking and Writing.. but i just want someone to tell me all will be fine.

I'm running low on motivation.. help please!! edge �
