Dear @johnnybravo1990 , I observe with studied silence the way some of us display some exuberances on forum like this. Maturity sometimes take a lot of things away. People don't understand what this journey entails. It's a privilege and not a right. How do you force a man to open the gate to his house for you even though he sent you an invite to his party?

Sometimes in life, good things takes time and everyone has their path to take. That someone got to Canada before you doesn't mean they will do better than you and vice versa.

Our path may look alike, our destinations are different


Patience is a virtue!

Thanks for this. I’m glad someone truly sees reason with me.

DESTINATION ONTA...


OINP Application status - Approved

Current CRS - 1035

Fingers crossed, awaiting ITA...

But what if next cutoff is 1040? Lol. Congrats o.

Somaris:


This shows you are a Nigerian. Scared of challenging the authority even for what you know is right. Applications take 6 months, asking that they step up is not haram. You can enjoy waiting but others that don't want to will take initiative and draw attention to their plight. You trend issues to draw attention.

You can say what you want. I’m no more dragging AVO matter with you. My purpose on this thread is to tutor people that need help with IELTS Writing. Bye.

pejuhazel:
Please know that AVO is a visa office just like OVO so they'll get a share of the workload. Just because an application is in AVO does not mean it has any fault, my application was sent there as part of workload distribution your notes will let you know why you're in AVO.

Ok. No problem. I know it’s not easy. I can feel your pain. Don’t worry, the wait will soon be over. ‘Inugo’.

pejuhazel:
We are not the first group of people to call out AVO, people have done it before now and it has yielded results. Why should my reason for taking an action be bacause I'm comparing myself with someone else, or you feel it's fine for people to keep waiting for as long as 15-18 months or even more and not do anything? Let's see if you keep this same level of energy if you're still waiting this time next year for a decision to be made. Just as I am free to be a part of the Twitter callout, you're also free to do nothing and ignore us. Bye

No problem.

jjohndoe83:

This is easy yo say if your application is not at AVO. look at the attached photo. 1 year and 2 months! Kilode Whatever works my brother besides these people paid application fees and they are entitled to be served in good time like other applicants! So this is not an entirely discretionary thing again. People had paid serious money and the best you can do is to determine their application one way or the other and on time too.

Ok

pejuhazel:
Amen o, we have taken our fight to Twitter #accravoisslow

I think we should tread with caution. Getting PPR as well as getting it on time is a privilege and not a right. I can understand that as humans, we tend to compare our progress with that of others, but we should know that people have different destinies and futures. Going online to call out AVO on Twitter is not a good idea. CIC and all its visa offices own the yam and the knife; they can decide to cut on the yam anywhere they deem fit. While AVO applicants wait, please savour the moment and experience. That’s what makes life interesting actually: your unique stories, your ups and downs, the joys and the sadness, the unpredictability and the thrills in it. Let AVO do their job at any speed they are capable of.

Hello guys, I just got Barron's IELTS sixth edition textbook and i am preparing for General IELTS exam. Please will the Barron's IELTS help me?

Any preparation source can help for other listening reading or speaking, but for writing, you may need someone to review your writing samples and give you tips if need be before you enter the hall.

ladymarshall:
Faith works but timing and action is everything! You might miss an opportunity you may never get back. You have no control over whether the scores come down or not. You have control over ways to boost your scores. Work on what you can control.
The scores for now will keep getting high. I know some 25years olds with 3 years experience, sibling points, POF and a BSC, just waiting to write CIMA or BCS IT. Even with 8777, their scores will get them ITA at 480+
More young people are entering the pool, more sibling are giving out sibling points, more people are getting nominations, more people are knowing of Canada EE.
Also increasing the quota of invitations has no effect on the CRS scores. If 5000 people are in the pool with 470+ scores and the government invites 4000, if you like have faith from now till tomorrow, if you’re on 440, you won’t get that ITA. Positivity is great but it pays to be realistic and exhaust one’s options NOW!

That’s a realist like me talking.

When you finally submit application only for them to send it to Accra VO. .

So the presenters no fit change cloth

Nancy has changed cloth. Satisfied now?

landmark86:
Combination of Nancy & Reminisce doesn't work at all. Just make the show looks so dry.
And the stage work, why putting audience at the middle of the stage? Not to gud.

I think the award is the must prestigious musical ward in Nigeria, and this is the 13th edition? Haba!!!!!!

You people are watching too much of Grammy awards and feel ours should be like theirs.

Congrats yinkaspeaks and Bogini.

The kind of panic the next draw will create will be unprecedented. However, pre-ITAns, please keep hope alive.

Wow! Part 9.

jjohndoe83:

Brotherly, you have done very well. My own sister did the tutorials with you and she passed on her 5th attempt. You don't know how much of a relief that was to me because she told me about Express Entry and I wrote the IELTS once and passed, 8.5 LSR and 8 Writing, but I couldn't fully transmit my approach or knowledge to her. So, you can imagine someone who you told about the process blazing ahead of you whilst you kept battling IELTS. Thankfully today, she passed and we're both post AOR.
I say again, well done and God bless your good deeds.

Thanks bro. I appreciate your appreciation.

Firstly, after I saw my result on September 20th, I paid for the next exam and contacted @blissnenye on September 21st. I paid that same day for 1 week coaching with her.
I remember when I contacted her and she asked how many times I had written, I said I had no idea. She was like I shouldn’t hide that information from my tutor and I told her I wasn’t ashamed but I had no intention of counting it until I passed. @Blissnenye is the best.
#Canada2019/2020.

I love this. Your resilience had no comparison. Congrats o. Blissnenye, job well done.

ladymarshall:
@johnnybravo and I started coaching Ielts around the same time for free. But one-on-one coaching for Ielts is not easy and is so time engaging and demanding. I couldn’t keep up, but he kept on and he is very good at the tutorials. We have been praising Liz and Jay for their great Ielts materials and online tutoring and they don’t even know us. Should we stop recommending Liz and Jay just because the accolades are much and because they charge a fee for personalized services? Let’s praise our own too unreservedly. Johnnybravo is not a scam please. He’s authentic and deserve the accolades for his good work. Good work also deserves to get paid.

Thank you my dear. Looking at stress I go through to lecture people, you will pity me. I talk, and talk, sometimes for over 1 hour at a go, and repeat my explanations painstakingly. I even got an Apple Pencil which I bought for over 40k which I use on my ipad to write my corrections directly on people’s essays which they snapped and sent to me so that I can explain better when we do the lectures online and so that they catch the message clearly. A lot goes on in the background before people come share to share their stories. We are just happy to let nairalanders know of the success we(and our students) achieve.
People, please bear with us if the stories bore you. When PPR comes, surely we won’t have time to even lecture again.

Tina26:
no one is suggesting its a scam. but it is derailing the thread and starting to look funny . i.e i used a tutor you can pm me for details.

No wahala. Anybody that passes IELTS, please don’t share your testimony o. . We don’t need such testimonies here. Keep it to yourself. Why do we even need to share PPR stories here? It’s also derailing the thread.

I know why you feel this way—probably you passed IELTS without any hassle, and you feel it’s not a big deal. Life nor be like that my dear.

iela19:
There is an IELTS thread, specially for people preparing for IELTS which is also an ideal place to tell the testimonies. truth is people have found business opportunities (Tutoring) which is good, but this their marketing strategy is finishing the little space remaining on this thread. Its just for us not to divert from the main course. or maybe they should open a thread for tutoring so that people that want to take the chance of being scammed can patronize them. PEOPLE SHOULD SHA OPEN THEIR EYES, NOT ALL IELTS TESTIMONIES HERE(MARKETING STRATEGY) IS REAL! Don't let fear make you do things you will regret.

Na wah o. You really serious for this matter. Testimonies are not fake, aunty. Appreciate our efforts. As far as students need assistance, we will always be relevant. When people start passing on their own, you wouldn’t need to play down our usefulness; when such situation happens, we ourselves will naturally fade out and become irrelevant. But till then, we will continue to be useful and helpful. If you don’t know, there’s a reason why more people, than it ever was, are passing now—although this unfortunately results in high CRS cutoffs; it is because more efficient tutors have entered the scene, and it will be good for everyone to know of this opportunity to boost their scores. If this was a scam, I believe someone would have said it long ago.

bankyh1905:
A few weeks ago, I had to refer my friend to Johnnybravo after his writing score came back with 6.5 for the second time. I said "enough is enough, I think you need help with writing". Johnnybravo took him on just one week to the test date, after a preliminary test of admission . His intervention has finally paid off, as my friend has now aced IELTS as follows: LRWS - 9, 8.5, 7.5, 7.5 (diving into the pool with a CRS of 481 )

According to my friend, he had to "unlearn" and relearn what he knew about the writing component and believes it's better for anyone who's planning to write the test to be well-prepared through training. He said he would readily refer anyone to Johnnybravo. Thank you so much @Johnnybravo, for helping people overcome their trials.

Thanks for the mention. This is the only thing keeping me sane since these people don’t want to release my PPR. . So who’s next on my IELTS train of victors? You know what to do. Hit me up.

freshkidr:
Grpnp if i max out ielts, am sure of ita, my fears now is I'm not still sure of my writing especially task 2 essay, I'm pleading with

Thanks all in anticipation of your joint help.

ladymarshall:

Erigo23:
Sorry for the long post.
DELAY IS NEVER DENIAL!!!
This is not PPR it’s IELTS victory. Finally after multiple trials IELTS HAS FREED ME!!!
I started ielts August 2018 passed all but reading JJC I didn’t know the techniques for reading and I didn’t finish had 6. So I wrote immediately and that’s when writing started showing me pepper. Everytime 6.5 or even 6 with computer based. Finally after falling short in writing again by June 2019 I cried and cried. I’m a lawyer for Christ sake I have written harder exams what is this?? Finally nairaland directed me to the magnificent JOHNNYBRAVO. Woke up this morning prayed again and when I got to the office collected a white envelope opened it and saw 7 in writing!!!! Jesus I almost screamed in their office.BYE BYE IELTS. Pool here I come with 472!!!!

Congrats o. I really have no idea who you are really. Can you chat me please?

Hi John,

Please accept my email request, I need info as regards IELTS coaching.

Thanks

I’ve replied you.

Kendrix69:
Hello, do you guys have any tips for me on speaking, I need to get an 8.Thank you
I have taken the LRW already.

Be confident. See it as a ordinary discussion between you and a harmless stranger. For the short response sections (Sections 1 and 3), listen carefully to the questions. There will be some long questions to throw you off balance by the way they are asked; don’t assume you heard the questions well if you have doubts about what you heard. In this case, politely ask the examiner, ‘Can you come again?’. This exam is ‘Speaking’, not Listening. So, you are given some leniency if you don’t listen well. Therefore, take advantage of this, and tell the examiner to please repeat any question you did not understand. Also, you can use this to bide more time to prepare your answer in your mind. But don’t do this too much; only ask the examiner to repeat questions not more than twice in the whole exam.
For the long talk(Session 2), you have to continuously talk until the end of the 2 minutes. You don’t want to rush and answer the three points of the question presented to you so fast or else you and the examiner will stir at each other for the rest of the 2 minutes. So, take your time. Beat around the bush, first, to use up some time. You may even need to narrate some ‘unnecessary information’ in your story, for example like how you woke up in the morning at 4 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. or how you brushed your teeth with your left hand for a try instead of using your right hand. Lol. All these are to while away some time. But please, be smart to make sure you still answer the three bullet points of the question before the time runs out.
Please maintain a very formal attitude. Do not be too friendly or smile unnecessarily; examiners, especially Nigerian ones, may interpret this to mean you are not confident and that you are trying to plead for their generosity with your smiles. Instead, show confidence and show some mild form of pomposity.
I wish you the best.

SonsOfLiverpool:
Hey buddy, I would love to relate with you. Do you charge for your services? I see you have helped a lot of peeps here. I intend to write mine November ending. Can you help?

Bros, I do it free for a few people, but for other people, we can agree on something. I have invested financially in some resources to upgrade my teaching. Also, coupled with the data I expend during our internet calls, it would be only fair if my expenses are compensated for. If I’m available by November ending, I’ll gladly coach you. If I’m not, I would refer you to some other people. Blissnenye is also a good tutor who you could contact as well. For anyone whom I am not available to tutor, I usually recommend her to them, and she does a pretty good job as well.
