Let's look for a way to be proactive here. If you are going to send scratch card to them, we should do it in groups of 5 or 10 people and share that courier cost.

1 volunteer can buy for 10pple, write the name and ref appropriately on each card, write up a manifest of the total cards containing the names of the owners, envelope it and send.

The total fee incurred will be shared equally and the tracking ID sent to those concerned.

ontarioissauga:
Does the scratch card serve as the secondary verification?

I think that's the idea. It's listed as a requirement now after the body sends the result.

Satubeee:
Just noticed now that WES updated their final secondary school certificate requirement, they now accept scratch card. Instead of waiting for the body to send result, just buy scratch card and send

Read it well. The body must still send the result in a stamped, sealed envelope. Thats no 1.

Then you will obtain a scratch card and send too. Thats 2.


I wonder why WAEC cant include the scratch cards in the initial mail. Why must it be the candidate that sends it?

2. WAEC/NECO Scratch Card
What you need to do:

From Applicant
Please obtain a WAEC or NECO scratch card and send it to WES by postal mail. You must include your WES reference number on the scratch card.

Important Information:

Please note that only unscratched cards will be accepted. These scratch cards will not be returned.

Seems WAEC has stopped verifying confirmations sent from WES.

WES just added the quoted requirement as part of the things to be sent for evaluation.

Stupid people

Annybens1993:
OK THANKS. Quick question pls.... I faxed my degree certificate and statement of result to them and they are claiming that they didn't receive it.

when I called the customer care earlier, she told me that they do not accept faxed credentials. I'm wondering if i'm i suppose to send a photocopy of my degree certificate and statement of result via courier for almost 10k when i can easily send soft copies

More so, many people have been sending soft copies to them...why are they rejecting mine

I guess it depends on how you are going about your evaluation. Officially, you are suppose to courier the docs. But they have been accepting fax silently which is good.

I wouldn't call them to ask about a doc i faxed. If i dont get a response in good time, i will fax again Afterall, its free

Annybens1993:
OK THANKS. But what category will the certificate fall under

You can't add it again like the rest on their site, the way you did initially.

Use the contact us button, choose add an additional qualification, type the necessary details and submit.

Then use hellofax to send a copy of the certificate to WES. After that, go and apply for the transcript to be sent to WES.

Tu as envie de la langue française? On peut apprend ensemble.
Lets hope for the best in 13 days

Google translate said you failed by the whiskers.

Corrected: Tu as envie de la langue française? On peut apprendre ensemble

Meaning: Do you want the French language? We can learn together.

We can learn together o. Just no curse me with French.

Hello family.
I am very confused now and would need help please on ECA for ICAN. I received my ECA report in January and have been living with the impression that this would be seen as an additional certification. But I have been getting differing opinions on this with many saying that this is not tenable for ECA purpose. Please I need your thoughts on this. I have also copied my ECA report (edited) to enable the gurus in the house assess. I have attached an edited version of the ECA. The summary section only shows BSc even though the analysis section shows ICAN as 2 years.

This is two or more degrees o

raphrulz:
Haaa testimony time.

I feel relieved on your behalf sef.

I wish u a speedy process.

Cheers**

Thanks bro

raphrulz:
Lmao!

This feels like one Naija movie sef. Village peepu!

Na so jare. My verification that WES/Uniben never agreed on sending/receiving for more than 5weeks was just replied today.

This journey is not a straight forward one at all You will start a stage, everything will just move very fast and you will be wondering if ppr is coming tomorrow

Then village people will just wake up and pause you at a stage till frustration becomes your friend

Just when you start thinking of quitting, Angel Gabriel will show up and clear the way again with his sword and stage 1 will repeat itself again.

It is well

Shyee:
Same thing happened to me, I almost asked her(omo dudu) to allow me to finish my response, why the rush na? I felt bad too... I had 7.5 in Speaking. Ogbeni, I prepared for LWR like they would improve the Speaking! Dont relent!

Thanks for the encouragement.

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

Quite useful!

Thanks bro. The zeal to continue preparing for the lrw test has left me after today's experience.

Its not easy jare

�� okay me and my waka waka need to get in check... Saint Joseph Oratory of Montreal. I took most of the photos in a hurry cos it was very cold out there and I still havent been able to buy a hand glove that is touchscreen compatible. I'd appreciate any recommendation for one that actually works well.

Debsify:
Are you sure about the 10k? When did you pay? Was it verification of both certificate and transcript? How did you pay?

Sent you a mail

flosk:
British council finally released result. You can check now if you have been trying before now.

Hope you crossed cut-off?

BarbaraCharles:
Yes. how did you make payment? Mine was online. I immediately followed their instruction to forward evidence of payment and other details like full name, account details etc. within 24 hours. I already have my speaking date and time and also the written time schedule. You should go physically to their office on Monday due to limited time.

They just sent me the test schedule mail now. Seems its peculiar to those writing in smaller towns like me.

einsteino:
for a family, Montreal has alot going for it. a 2 bedroom apartment here can be as low as 750 cad, 850cad to 1000cad in downtown montreal! in Toronto that can easily cost you 2200cad! cars are also much cheaper here and the city is lovely to raise a family. Anyways let me tell you a story that would help put things in perspective.

I have been doing some shopping, mehn converting from naira to CAD is the most sadistic mathematical operation. Anyways, to make good savings on my shopping, I have been hopping from one thrift store to another, trying to get the best quality at the least price. So yesterday I found another thrift store on google map to try out. It was about 17 stops away by train and another 4 stops away by bus. I took the subway to the other side of town, got off and made to catch a bus from the metro station to the Thrift store. On getting to where google map said I was to board a bus to the shop, I found a hand written notice placed over the Bus-stop sign but since it was in french, I was like make una carry una wahala go. So I just stood there waiting for the bus, it was 0 degrees and every second out in that cold felt like eternity. A gorgeous lady walked up to me and spoke some french to me. Walahi I didnt hear a word! listening to french is much harder than reading it, at least while reading I can make out the words even if I don't understand them, spoken french esp in the Quebecois accent sounds like someone is rapping in high Valyrian.

I just replied "Sorry... I dont understand french", she looks at me in pitiful shock and asks "Anglais?", I replied "Oui". In my little head, now she would speak something I can comprehend, some good old English...Instead she resorted to speaking the french very slowly I didnt get much but now I understood she was trying to tell me something important about the bus I was waiting for. At this point, I took out my phone and copied the words on the notice to my Google translate app, my fingers turned ice cold in those few seconds I spent typing... only for Google translate to pour out some incomprehensible English translation as the reward for my finger's effort. aaaah! I was like which kind sufferhead be this na. na FSW i be no be PNP, which kind over sabi carry me come Montreal sef? I no even know wetin dey sup with my bus or this notice, See fine babe wey i for even shine teeth give if we dey speak the same language sef... Anyways, since two of us no fit communicate and this bus no gree show, mek I kuku go take subway go back house house before my battery die. I looked at the lady and I muttered "Merci et Bonne nuit", as I made to walk away, she cautioned me to wait for her to try one more time. she heaved a sigh of frustration, picked her phone and called someone hoping he could help translate, the person laughs hard and said some inaudible thing in french... she drops the call and looks me in the eye like "this coconut head how wouldn't you even know a little french, are you trying to die in this cold?"

Then she reaches into her bag, gets some paper and a pen and starts using her hand to make signs like someone talking to a deaf and dumb wey no go school.. then finally says "you.. booos number? booos number?"... I tell her my bus number, she writes it down, then she says "me booos number 97.." points at me and then at herself, circles both our bus number and then points at the notice and says "booos stasion laurent"... Omg! I finally understood i was waiting in futility, the bus I was waiting for has been rerouted from Metro Mount Royal to Station Laurent! turns out the road repair works necessitated it be rerouted for some hours(please note that I said hours, not days o.. I returned 45minutes later to see the road open and traffic already plying the freshly asphalted road! Naija get centuries to come up sha). Anyways I thanked her and we tagged along, a young boy walks by and she asked him for direction to St laurent, the guy explained in french, she turns around trying to tell me what he said but remembers I dont quite understand french.. she tells the boy that I only understand english, he switches from fluent french to fluent english almost unconconciously.. I mean he speaks the two languages with native proficiency, his french has the Quebecois accent, his English the usual Oyibo fonerisation and intonation without the overlapping french accent.

Here bilingualism is like a norm but I have realized that it is often teenagers that are fluently bilingual, folks in late twenties speak English and french but for most of them, their proficiency in one of the languages rarely meets up to native proficiency; people in their 50s upwards are usually monolingual, they speak either English or French and just know a few words in the other. If you come to Montreal, your kids would likely end up bilingual like most kids their age here. Since it would put them in a situation where everyday they would meet someone who only speaks one of the two languages, they would have to speak the two languages everyday but french would dominate. That way they get french and still keep the most economically important language in the world, English! but how about you? you would be just like me, risking the possibility of freezing in the cold cos you cant read a damn notice in french even when you life depends on it. lol.

I like the vibe of doing it for your kids, but you do know your job and happiness would affect your kids too. So if you get frustrated with the language thing, it may wear off on your kid's happiness too. You can pretty much get customer care jobs, factory jobs etc with your English, with this you can pay your bills and save a bit. if you land in Montreal, just go to Randstaad at 333 Cote Vertu, they would interview you immediately and fix you up soon as they get you a job that matches your strength and interest. but if you are a career person, someone whose happiness hinges on finding fulfillment in your job, say you hope to work as an Engineer, a lawyer etc. then you should know without french, Montreal would hardly give you the opportunity you seek.

Can't you learn french and move up the career ladder? Yes you can learn french, actually the Govt of Quebec may pay you if you register to learn french full-time, and if you join a part time french class, the fee would be waived for you. But please note, work place french is not moi moi, it means you have to get at least intermediate proficiency in french. if you attend part time french classes for say 3months, you should be able to know enough french to enable you guess what folks are saying. 1year of part time french class and you would be able to pretty much form Quebecois but still may not know enough french to work as an Engineer in Quebec! You know the way Aboki knows English but keep messing up the pronoun I, "I dey crase?" that's the struggle here. Learning the meaning of words is easy, learning to conjugate verbs and pronounce words correctly is not too easy but doable but learning lexis of structure and grammatical rules at this age... oboy that's punishment! especially those stupid rules that have exceptions with no other explanation than that's the way it is. So you need to know that you may put in all your effort into french and at the end of the day, you are only able to speak it the way an Aboki speaks English. that's enough to get you moving around and working survival jobs, but not at a professional job that cares for top notch communication skills in french. Given, some people have an attitude for language and may get native proficiency in a year, but only you can say if you are one of those people or don't mind the challenge and relegating career ambitions for a while.

This guy You are good. What a wonderful explanation.
