Curlie:
Hi everyone. Please has anyone had their UNILAG Bsc degree evaluated by WES? Mine has been in process for almost 4months yet not completed. School claims they have not received the verification one from WES when they said the got my transcript from Unilag and sent them a mail via post for verification but school said they dont have it please i need help in this regard.

If it is transcripts you are talking about and you both didn't finish from the same school, then don't try it, WES will void both docs cuz it is school that ought to send the transcripts and there's no way two different schools will put correspondence in same envelope. If however its copies of your certificates you want to send, then you may send it together. A better and costless alternative is to use online fax facility to send them(ensure you have written the reference number on the certificates before sending).

Bimpsy99:
Thanks. Can I evaluate just ACCA with WES? ICAS is delaying my post secondary evaluation so I am looking for a cheaper and faster alternative.

Yes you can

Hello House, I have a BTECH in chemical/ petro-chemical Engineering but happen to have over 8 years experience in Telecommunication Engineering. Will this discrepancies pose any threat to my application.

Also, if am the principal applicant, does wiffy need to write ielts?

Thanks

It shouldn't, except in some Provincial Nominations where they require that you have at least one year education related to your profession but largely, it might be irrelevant at the end of the day so, you can start your application.

a mother of 3(age 7,5 n3), had B.sc industrial chemistry (second class lower in 2005) and pursued a postgraduate diploma in education in 2011. I av been working in my present job like 5years ago( 5yrs work experience in a research institute), I want to use school route to get a PR, and I was told I cannot get a master in Canada with my 2.2, pls is it advisable I go for a postgraduate diploma in Canada( which university) or can is there any university that takes 2.2 ,make i find alternative cos this game of express entry is getting tighter pls advice

Contact the schools yourself, you should likely get one that will accept 2:2 and if not, you can then get PGD instead. However note, the cost of going through school is much more than through PR

Bumdesh:
Note of CAUTION

What ever is not on your ECA report don't include in your express entry profile.

If you only evacuated Masters in ECA put Masters in EE profile. If you put BSC and u recieve ITA, pay ur fees n submit all documents including ur ECA, there is no place where dat BSC was evacuated to show d Canadian equivalency.

Some people application have been rejected coz of this and based on the grounds of incomplete documentation.

My advice is put only d degrees u hv on ur ECA report wen registering ur EE profile.

You must include details of all your education and upload the certificate of completion of the programme but should however indicate the ones you don't have ECA for. If you indicate you don't have ECA for the lower degrees, they won't penalize you for it. The incomplete documentation is as a result of uploading only ECA for your highest qualification and you overlook uploading certificate for the ones you inputed their history but you didn't provide certificate for

Hello all,

Please does anyone know the most appropriate NOC to use for a job profile which matches that of an account officer in a Nigerian bank (popularly called marketer) in order to apply for the express entry?

Check NOC 6235 and 4163

living2k:



So to confirm, I will just evaluate both bachelors and masters, with the translations and transcripts and all at a total cost is C$234?
Why would one want the evaluated documents send back? Are they not all photocopies?

By 'evaluated document', i mean the evaluation result. A softcopy will first be sent to you and then a hardcopy will be shipped to you same day and yes, all at a cost of 234CAD

living2k:
Hello house,

I have been a silent reader and now want to take the plunge. However, I have these questions:


1. On lists of document to send. It says our Secondary School Certificate must be sent in Directly by WAEC. How does one go about this?

2. I possess an Engineering Bachelors and Masters Degrees. Do I need to send both for Evaluation from WES?

3. What is the cost from WES, because I have foreign degrees from a Eastern European Country. Is it a flat rate?

You are paying the same flat rate of either 233.91 CAD or 322 CAD(if you want them to send the evaluated document to you via courier). Ignore the WAEC part, its not necessary, evaluate only your foreign degrees

emeify:
Thanks a lot.
Will they accept savings account and also fixed deposit? Or ONLY current account?

Savings, Current and Fixed Deposits are all acceptable

40manlappy:


Saved for future reference. Thanks Boss

How far with your "hustle"? This process is really getting tighter. More faith is required.

I'm good bro! Yeah, there might be some easing up in the system soon but then, that might favour inland applicants more. We anticipate the new programme being proposed by the Atlantic provinces early next year, that should favour outland applicants by God's grace. I think the challenge for quite some people now is the exchange rate and how its shooting up the amount required for pof. I pray God will help us and make a way in Jesus name

Thank you @ richieadeolu
Please can anyone help me with the link for Job bank Registration, and what must I do for it to reflect on my EE profile?

Go to the page where your score is displayed in your EE Profile, scroll down and you will see a place where your EE Profile number is displayed, click on that and you will see a small drop down showing a short link saying 'click here'. Click on it and it will download a pdf message of your EE details, open the pdf and you will see the specific job bank link you are to use in registering your job bank account.

For everyone who needs to contact WES, your best, most reliable and costless means is to reach them via fax. You can send free fax messages online. Google myfreefax, hellofax, etc, they provide free fax facility. Compose your message in microsoft word, and send it as an attachment through the free online fax facility, don't forget to provide your email as the channel through which WES will respond to you and, you should usually get a response from them either same day or the next. Those who need to send a copy of their certificate(s) to WES as well can use this medium. Their fax number is (+1) 416-972-9004. Try it and thank me later.

Thanks for your response
noc 6541 matches with my duty,but I don't the exact category that I'm qualify to put in for,kindly put me through.

I'm afraid NOC 6541 is below the Skill type and level of occupation that qualifies to apply in this programme

emeify:
Please has this question been answered?
Must the funds be in the name and account of the principal applicant only? Or can it also be in the account of the spouse or a joint account?
Any other help on proof of funds will be appreciated too

Principal applicant or joint account. No more, no less

Hello Gurus in the house, I really appreciate the humanitarian service you are rendering here. Pls I need your input before applying. I have B.TECH (Agric economics & extension) 6 yrs working experience in in different field,specifically,(NSCDC).33yrs of age, my wife has B.TECH (fisheries and aquaculture), no job experience 32yrs, 2 kids.
With the above info, are we eligible? and do we stand any chance ?
Thanks to all.

You surely qualify to apply but your chances can't exactly be measured for now mostly because of your occupation. Some occupations give leverage to apply for other opportunities like provincial nominee programmes which serves as a booster for your application. However, try and use your job duty to find the equivalent of your occupation in Canada first, we can then know if you can leverage a PNP

Blackfinegirl:
Please what's the noc for fixed asset accountant .is it the same as accounting .
Also can I use my dads cousin as my relative, they share the same grand parents.

Thank you

Under Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker, close relative does not include cousin but for most Provincial Nominee programmes, it does.

Adewakeup1:
Hello Gurus in the house, I really commend what you are doing here. Pls I need advise before applying. I have HND Comp Sci, 10 yrs working experience 36yrs of age, my wife has OND Bus Admin, trading, no job experience 29yrs, 2 kids.
With the above info, am I qualify and do I stand a chance of winning.
Thanks to all.

Yes you do, as long as you will write your IELTS and pass very well and provided your work experience is in IT, it stands you a better chance. I may also recommend that your wife writes the IELTS Exam as well

imii:
Hey guys..I love this thread..I have a little problem finding my noc. i studied microbiology. And i have five years post graduate experience.
1 year at an environmental protection agency as an environmental inspector.
1 year' as a biology teacher.
2 years in a dairy company(FCMG) as a retail Merchandiser.(modern trade department )
1 year in marketing in the same company as i got promoted to marketing department as a nutrition delegate/area medical representative
My experience is kind of unrelated except the last two in the same company.I can go for pharmaceutical rep cos i cant find my present job title but having just one year reduces my chances.any ideas what NOC code might favour me?

I think your two year retail merchandiser might likely be in consonance with your 1year marketing, which should totally make 3years provided they are related. If that's the case, check NOC 6221 and 0621. You may be able to get help further if we can see your job description and details both for the marketing and the retail but, try and check the ones I suggested first.

socialmisfit:
Hello everyone,

Are there any HND graduates who have completed their EE profile in the house? I need some clarifications please...

When filling the Education History in the Study and Languages section of the EE profile, what should I choose in the Level of Education for both OND and HND?

This is because my OND was evaluated by WES to be Diploma (two years), and the HND as Diploma (three years) and a postgraduate certificate (one year), so I'm a little confused on what to fill in the complete/full academic years, Level of Education and the Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report to avoid misrepresentation.

Thanks for your help, guys.

For the OND, select two years postsecondary while for the HND, select 'two certificates of which one is for a minimum of 3years'

Nickoko:
Gbam! 100% correct and that is the clarification about part time work.

tolzbaby2016:
please everyone in house,
i am about submitting my degree qualification to WES. if i have both masters and Bsc,do i need to evaluate both degrees?
thank you

Not necessarily, you may evaluate only your Masters, particularly if they are from different Naija schools as one school may delay the other but if the two degrees were obtained from the same school, you may submit the two to be evaluated. Meanwhile, note that you will pay more as each school will charge you for transcript and courier and for another courier money(if they don't do email response to verification) when they are responding to verification from WES

TBDL:


IM STILL TRYING TO GET A HIKD ON THIS WORK EXPERIENCE THING.. SO IF I'VE WORKED AS A LN ECONOMIST IN WORK A AND AS AM ACCOUNTANT IN WORK B, I CANT MERGE WORK A AND B TO FORM A YEAR'S EXPERIENCE?
AND IS THE NYSC WORK EXPERIENCE CONSIDERED AS VALID WORK EXPERIENCE WHEN FILLING THE EE PROFILE ??

PLEASE HELP!!

You can only merge jobs that have same functions. NYSC is acceptable since it's remunerated. Also, you don't have to state it on your letter that it was NYSC

Gymme:
I was actually pointing out part time hours that qualify for full time and not about before or after qualification work experience.

IRCC rejected a friend's PR application because they counted his work experience from after he graduated here in Canada. He thought since he started the job while as a student, that should count as work experience but they said no, the work experience should start counting AFTER school.

So i would also say that post qualification (whether part time or full time) is what IRCC recognizes.

I think I may have understood what the problem is. While filling your EE Profile, they usually ask you the year you qualified to practice the work experience you are claiming, its possible your friend wrote the date he graduated which obviously will negate the period cuz you cannot have been working a job only to then qualify to practice it after you have been working for some years. If the job falls under Skill Level 0, A or B and does not require a degree to do the job, he ought to have put the date he graduated from Secondary school instead since the work experience was after that period. I hope you understand what I'm saying.

HELLO DUPSYSHOO,

PLEASE CAN YOU THROW MORE LIGHT ON THE WORK EXPERIENCE?
I READ FOR THE F.S.W, IT MUST TO BE CONTINUOUS AND AT LEAST A YEAR, CAN ONE MERGE TWO DIFFERENT WORK EXPERIENCES TO FORM 1 YEAR?
PLEASE I NEED YOU GUYS TO HELP CLARIFY.

THANKS

As long as its the same occupation, its accepted

hsim247:

Hi JesusDWay,
I have about 4years experience in 2 different NOCs- 2years in both but while filling the EE profile, I told them I have 3 or more years. Is this a problem?

Why did you mention 3years in the first place? It will be a problem which they will discover from your reference letters. Like i once mentioned, IRCC will award you marks based on the years of experience you have in a SINGLE NOC, not the lump sum of years you have been working.

Nickoko:
I don't think your work experience while undertaking a part-time study counts, CIC requires post-qualification in calculating your points though i stand to be corrected.

Nickoko:
@Gymme. Are you saying part-time job before qualification counts or part-time job after qualification? Are you saying if somebody graduated last year from a part-time program in nigeria university though he has been working for the past 6years whilst schooling, he will he get 6years or 1 year working experience for canada express entry?To the best of my knowledge cic only consider post qualification working experience wheather part-time or full time.

The guy in question said he studied part-time, he didn't say he worked part-time, you can work full-time and study part-time In Gymme's friend's case, it is the work that was part-time, not the study and there's a likely tendency one or two things is the case with the work experience he claimed cuz, IRCC never said anything about 'part-time work must be post-study'. Moreover, how will one work part-time when you have already finished studies

Gymme:
I was actually pointing out part time hours that qualify for full time and not about before or after qualification work experience.

IRCC rejected a friend's PR application because they counted his work experience from after he graduated here in Canada. He thought since he started the job while as a student, that should count as work experience but they said no, the work experience should start counting AFTER school.

So i would also say that post qualification (whether part time or full time) is what IRCC recognizes.

So many things could be the case otherwise, their clause of "part-time work of two years equal one year" should have included 'post-graduation work experience'. The possible situations in your friend's case may be that the job he was doing while studying didn't fall under Skill Level 0, A or B, it may be a volunteer job that was not remunerated as such, the requirement to work the job he claimed may be a Bsc which obviously he didn't have during the period he claimed he did the job, the total hours worked as part-time if added together ended up not meeting 1,560hours for two years or, even if it met it, since its in Canada, he's not meant to work more than 20hours a week as a student and the job is even supposed to be on campus which kind of jobs wont likely fall under skill type 0, A or B. At any rate, kindly help find out from your friend the kind of job he did which was rejected by IRCC, how many hours per week he worked and consistently for how long and also, what the required qualification for that job is. Thanks

semperfidelis:


thanks for the feedback, dont have NYSC experience as my BSc was part-time and was not eligible for it, i only have an exemption certificate. yes i did a few part-time jobs in the Uk but not related to my field of study, will that count?

It's not compulsory for your experience to be related to your degree. The part-time work you did counts and, if you also worked while doing your part-time Bsc, it counts as well. However, you will need to get reference letters from the places you've worked to substantiate your claims, CIC requires it.

basdow101:


Really!

But they have it as Job Offer or Certificate of Qualification on the Site: Both carry the same 600 points. So I think it should exempt me from providing POF.

Only job offer exempts you from providing pof
