I see people come here and say "I want to do this canada Canada migration stuff but I don't have time or I can't practice for IELTS". These people just make my blood boil mehn. I mean this is your freaking life at stake and you're not willing to pay attention to even the minutest detail?

Listen sir/ma, this thing takes work, as in serious work. Getting the visa, which is no mean feat, is just the beginning of at least 3 years of work and planning, and at the inception you're already talking lackadaisically about it? FYI, Canada will be very competitive because they are attracting middle class professionals from the most populous nations in Africa and Asia. So better brace up! It is not gonna be a tea party.

To the lady who came to bash her husband here in the name of seeking advice and cannot have time to practice IELTS. Abeg, think am well o. I work in one of the busiest law firms in this country and without breaking from work I practiced for this IELTS o. Morning, afternoon, evening for about 2 months, I was practicing. As I resume, practice, break time practice, closing time practice. Don't let BC/IDP use you to meet their budget.

Going to Canada is no joke. I still get the shivers when I think about it that in less than a year from today, God willing, I will no longer live in this country that I have lived in for 29 years! And I will carry somebody's daughter and join body. Please let us be serious!

Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.

To evaluate Law degree, one has to use IQAS? Should the person add his law school certificate/transcript?

What will the report come as? Equivalent of Masters Degree?

If the person decides to use WES, what will the degree come out as?

Please help. I want to help a clueless friend.

Only law degree.

"first professional university degree in law" equivalent of a Masters.

He may get Bachelors degree equivalence with WES.

Bonus:
If he's in a hurry, age is on his side and can follow up with law school very well for verification, then he can evaluate his LLB and BL to get two or more certificate, 7 points less than Masters.

Aishator:
Good morning all.
I just joined nairaland as regards the immigration processes to Canada. I'm currently a student at the Nigerian Law School. I want to start my processing immediately after Bar exams in August.
Please, I really need any help y'all could render as regards the step by step process to Canada through express entry.
You can also refer me to whatsaap groups and individuals that are lawyers/law students that were successful.
Thanks.

You don't need to wait for law school/bar finals (I'm assuming you want to evaluate your B. L. Cert.) Just take a few hours to study what it takes to evaluate your degree with IQAS and try to see if you can pull it off in a week. This will largely depend on how quickly you can get your school to send your transcript to IQAS in the prescribed format, how quickly can get your application sent by courier as well, and maybe funds. Hurry and leave this country learned friend!

Daxbiz:


Thank you.

But these people slow sha, Still opening february envelopes?

Dem no know say person dey old??

Not even sure I will answer anyone who greets me happy birthday next month.

What's there to be happy about

Express Entry is the only thing that makes people unhappy about their birthday!

wisdom4today:
I am exactly in the same situation with your bro.

They seem overwhelmed with too many applications.

I deeply regret using IQAS. I actually used them because my POF wasn't ready as at the time and thought I would get it ready before IQAS process the ECA with usual delays.

But now miraculously POF is no longer a problem, but it's now the ECA.

If I don't get any meaningful reply from them soon, I might consider doing another ECA using another assessing body.

Cc: Daxbiz
Just relax guys. IQAS grinds slowly but surely. Check my posts a few weeks back on thi s thread. Also check out this thread, it'll keep you informed amd help you predict when your ECA would be ready. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/iqas-eca-timeline-tracking.490054/page-383

BumyImagination:
Hi my people,

I and my husband finished from same school so our transcripts were packed separately and kept together in one packet so as to avoid paying double money to courier. It was sent to IQAS for ECA. The school official said they have been doing it like that for couples. I need to know if anyone here has done it like that and if its fine.

It is not a problem. IQAS really doesn't mind. I also did something similar and I recently got my ECA.

This is for lawyers evaluating LLB. I came across new information suggesting that WES evaluates LLB as a first professional degree which is the equivalent of a Masters degree. See attached.

Please consult more before trying this. I am only "forwarding as received"

so Hephgirl is married afterall. And we have been sharing position for wedding with one of mamen on the tops
That's all I saw in the PPR story. Congratulations girl madam. Prosper in the land.

iaatmguy:
congratulations on your ECA report. but personally i am not too happy that your spouse is yet to write ielts. apologizes if i am judging you. #weareafamily

I understand. I didn't think she would need to, remember that it was in the last two draws that things just went south as per cut off. And I was convinced it was gonna come down before our ECA came out.

ladymarshall:
Congrats bro. This is good news. The miracle will happen. Also let wifey write it asap, it will boost your score no matter the band. It will end in praise.

Yes ke. We're on it already.

The Express Entry pool has been calling me since but IQAS would not allow me to be great. If I call now na so so grammar I go dey hear, email they will not respond.

It was as though they were waiting for me to rant! The ECA came in just now. Dived straight into the pool. CRS sitting at 454! Spouse has not written IELTS and I'm hoping for a miracle! Another phase has started.

YoungDharniel:
Hello All,

Please I need advise for a friend.
She studied Law, has gone to Law school and did a post graduate certificate in Management.

Right now she needs to evaluate her certificate but not sure whether to use WES or IQAS.

I’m aware Law students go the IQAS route but the time frame is very long (about 4 months), while WES takes 35 days.

Now, the major question is: Can she safely evaluate with WES since she has a second degree anyways? Or she definitely has to use IQAS?

Is there anyone with similar experience? How did you go about it?

It all depends. She can choose to evaluate LLB and BL with WES to get two or more certificate. It is faster undoubtedly but she'll lose 7 points, which is the difference between getting her LLB evaluated with IQAS as the equivalent of a Masters and 2 or more certificate. If she's pressed for time, WES is the way because IQAS will test her patience.

Peaceful004:
Good evening all,
Please can one still do change of name after biometrics? Got married and application got updated to married and spouse added. Please, I am trying to change my last name to hubby's own and also change my passport to reflect the new name. Has anyone done this before? I am asking because I have already done biometrics with my maiden name.

Why not leave this thing simple and uncomplicated. You have many years ahead to change your name to your husband's mbok. Just get through first.

Philips49:


I think cutoff score will still be above 460 for 26th June draw.

Mrs A should now register for IELTS sharp sharp.

bigwizzy001:


Please share me your number. I need Eksu contact person too. I would have PM(ed) you but I've already sent one lately and it's not permitting me.

Thanks boss.

PM me.

@Jaygirl20
You did not even waste time at all. April COPR and you've already landed. Great one. Have a good time. See you people soon.!

ojsamuel:
Really crazy! Distribution obviously becoming skewed to favour single(and unaccompying) applicants as married applicants (with spouse accompanying) are gradually being eclipsed out.

How do you mean sir? Explain more.

Draaaw!

I was in one corner sipping tea and waiting for you Sir. Thanks for showing up

godG:

Good People,

I just had a terrible experience with a notary public. I wanted to notarize my gift deed and another document, na so the guy dey ask me questions oo. Who sent the money to you? What do you want to use it for? "You need to come here with the person that gifted you the money, then we can talk about the price."

I just left the crook's office at that point.

Please, I would appreciate it if anyone would recommend a notary public (on the Island or in Ibadan) you have used for gift deed. I am too busy to be explaining stuff.

Thanks as usual, people.

As a lawyer, I feel pained that you denigrated this NP as a crook for no apparent reason. I believe he was entitled to ask these questions, I might have asked same. It doesn't make him a crook I think he was just doing his job and may have been overzealous about it.

In other news, a gift deed should only have one signature, that of the giver, just like a power of attorney. I don't think it should be two.

onyekakingsley:
so WES can evaluate only M.Sc result without sending his/her WAEC result

Yes, if it is a non-Nigerian qualification.

sesay:


Oh, sorry I meant this week. 27th May, 2019.

Okay. Thanks

sesay:


yes, got acknowledgement last week.

Nice one. Please don't mind my asking, when exactly last week did you receive acknowledgment? I checked through your posts and I see that your courier delivered to IQAS on 1st February, mine was delivered on 7th February and nothing yet.

@gozyna and finishedworks

Thank you for sharing yout landing stories. It feels good to read landing stories again on this thread. It was almost going extinct!

Calgary is a favourite destination for Nigerians. It might have been said over and over, but is there any reason for this?

Hi sesay
Any luck with your IQAS application?

KAYSEE8686:


Hi. If you don't mind my asking when did you submit to IQAS? i submitted since Jan and I'm yet to get a confirmation from them

What date did your transcripts and applications sent by courier reach IQAS? I know that people who delivered their documents /transcripts in the January 20s have started receiving AOR. What IQAS seems to count is when your courier delivered your documents not when you submitted your online application. You can follow this thread to see others who are also waiting:

I applied to IQAS may ist 2019
I have applied for my transcript and I hear waec has to send my waec certificate bro them too.
kindly help I really don't understand the process.
thank you.

As far as I can tell, IQAS does not require WAEC verification. Kindly read anf understand the process well. IQAS takes a lot of time ordinarily and you don't want to elongate that time by making unnecessary mistakes.

baileys007:


Hiya, I confirmed reciept of my transcript yesterday from IQAS and also saw the attached on their site if anyone needs this.

This is really nice then. Thank you fpr educating me. Have you received any AORs yet? What's the status on your IQAS dashboard?
