Good day all, I'm new here and I would like to know my chance of getting admission into MUN or U of Manitoba with a CGPA of 3.65/5.0 but the average GPA of my last two years of undergraduate study is 4.3/5.0. Thank you

For Manitoba I think you should. you might be as well get the IGSES award.

you can put in. make sure your SOP is convincing.

Long post alert!!!

Hello my people,

congrats to everyone who has conquered any hurdle in this journey. I can say it has been God.
For those that will remember me, I was very active here 2017, got ECA completed for hubby and I since Jan 2018.

IELTS has been proving hard for me since 2017. on the 5th attempt!! result was out yesterday ! I am still struggling with listening 7.5!!!

Am not discouraged anyway. I so much appreciate the encouragement from wonderful people here @ osemigho, balogunsam, Glitteringstar ....... And many others.

But to the glory of God Almighty who is ready to make the dream a reality. I got admission this year with scholarship and I apply for study visa. Osemigho my wonderful e-brother did a lot for me. Read and reviewed all LOE and SOP selflessly. Because I had a refusal last year. We worked together on the application and I submitted application on the 16th April.

I got my study visa APPROVED on the 16th of July. Praise God with me, God is faithful. Resuming this fall by the grace of God.

I want to encourage ALL. stay focus, stay in faith till we all achieve our dream.

I really appreciate all for the support.

IT WILL END IN PRAISE.......

kpizzle:
Congrats, I thank God for u.

Hi,

Congrats to ITA recipients
WES has finally released me! ECA ready on the 20th Dec and hubby's report will be out on the 3rd Jan 2018.

Make BC release me this January oo. Amen

I did with IDP.

about 20 candidates in total. No head phones. but I had 6.5 in listening alone others very good.

hayor2014:
Good day all,

Has anyone of us written the IELTS exam with IDP/MOD, what was the experience, especially for the listening test ?.....Were you given head phones ?, if not, was the sound audible enough

My people,

Just got my result now. I wrote with idp

listening- 6.5
speaking-7.5
reading -8.0
writing -7.0

it pain me small oooo. Can listening score be changed in any way.

My BSC has been verified already.

happytbaby:
Hello,

If you do that, I think you will only have one degree (ACCA), the polytechnic certificate will be assessed as an additional certificate if you wait and get it sorted. If you use only the ACCA, then your points will be lower both on Level of Education (112 as against 119) and Skills Transferability Education (25 as against 50 when combined with CLB 9 IELTS scores).

Just do a simulation to see if its worth it.

Best of luck.

Hi,

My hubbys verification is taking forever in LASU. He paid 10k like 2 weeks ago. Nothing has happened. we were able to speak with someone in exam and records and she said its the certificate dept. that is yet to verify his certificate. Do u understand the online system of verification. someone mentioned that/any contact in LASU.

I just want to be free from WES and Nigerian university wahala.

Kontagious:
This will work better if you mention your school, also your present stage and how long you’ve been there. Alumni of your alma mater or those in the know can then wade in.

Verification for Unilag took about 2 weeks after I got the update “awaiting verification from institution”.

Then for LASU, took about 4 or 5 weeks - that’s because 3 weeks was wasted without knowing I had to make payment for the verification. Got verified week after payment was made.

Timeline for Unilag is something like;
WES Profile created: 23/05/2017
Sent Certificate same day.
Certificate got accepted three days after.
Transcript request like 3 days after WES profile date.
Transcript from Unilag got delivered to WES about 5th week from request.
Verification sent to school about the 3rd day after receipt of transcript
Verification received about the 2nd week after update of awaiting verification from institution
ECA completed exactly 15 working days after receipt of Verification.
Summary: WES Profile Created: 23/05/2017 - ECA: 15/08/2017. 12 weeks on dot.

Summary applies to LASU too, created and got ECA same day but would have been faster if not for the 3 weeks delay.

Thanks so much Bimpsy99 and others.

ACCA has sent my transcript and certificate. My status for both has changed to "accepted"(all within a week). So i have ACCA and BSC accepted by WES

Just yesterday my contact from Fedpoly called that the school has received the verification mail after 2 solid months.
My people kindly advise me ooo.
I want to discard the verification from Fedpoly and ask WES to remove poly completely and generate my report. Hope its a good decision.

please advise ur humble sis.

Thank you.

Bimpsy99:
Send them a fax with your request. Hellofax..I learnt they respond faster

Send me a private mail. Then I link u with the person I know.

eddycross:
Hello jummolami or anybody else who can.

Can you help with a contact for transcript/verification at UI - for undergrad?

Thanks

Bimpsy99:
It shouldn't. I included an LOE to say that so say that I didn't go to the UK for the ACCA and I was taking my professional exams concurrently with my undergrads.

As long as you can explain the overlap. You should be fine

Thanks so much. Still waiting for Wes to give procedure on how to include ACCA. I have sent message to them.

Thank you.

Hi bimpsy99.

I want to confirm if the dates for BSc and the Acca will not cause any issue.

BSc is dated September 2011
ACCA diploma is dated Feb 2012.

I have sent message to WES but no response yet.

Please advice.

Thank you.

Bimpsy99:
Me no be Oga o. So Yes. Advanced diploma gotten after completion of ACCA level 2 can serve same purpose as ACCA. Since your Bsc is accepted. You can tell them to drop the ND and HND. Then write to ACCA to send your transcript to WES for the advanced diploma. They would and it will be accepted by WES. With that you should have two or more certificates.

No point delaying further since your Bsc already earns you at least 3 years degree..the advanced diploma is sufficient to dive into the pool.

To modify your order with WES I think the option is available in the contact us. You just write to them telling them what to exclude.


Cheers

Thanks everyone.

I really appreciate the swift responses. I will do as u have suggested.

You can combine your BSc with any of OND or HND to earn points for 2 or more certs. It is said that ACCA can also be used. But I am not familiar with the peculiarities. It seems it depend on the year/syllabus blablabla.
Try to search this thread for people that have used it.
Here is what oga Bimbsy99 has to say https://www.nairaland.com/3999848/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/236#61082818[/quote]Thanks

My people,
I am currently experiencing delay with ECA. I have BSc, HND and ND. I am also a student member of ACCA and I have advanced diploma certificate.from Acca after I completed stage 2.

My BSc has been verified. HND is yet to be verified since Aug. School claimed not to have request after WES has sent twice.

Please can I use my Acca diploma with BSc to claim points.

And if yes can I modify my existing order with WES or I start with another evaluating body.

Please make Una advise me ooo

Congrat. At last UI has released u.
ITA sure

balogunsam:
@threadstone @senors @jummolami, WES finally got docs on October 3rd and status was changed. Just checked now again and saw status showing this yet ETA is October 24th. Though i strongly believe this will be much faster. Told them via chat to help expedite the process as i had lost a month due to their technical errors.

It will surely end in praise.

balogunsam:
WES replied on FB and they said they would investigate. I thereafter got the email attached below and the "last updated" date changed again to today's date. The thing is i NEVER got this email the first two times they said they sent the verification to UI. I will confirm with the person assisting me in UI tomorrow and ask him to recheck again. I just wanted to update the house and also to help educate others who may find themselves in a similar circumstance. I will keep everyone updated with the progress...very soon i shall rejoice being free from this one month verification back and forth and enter the EE swimming pool...CRS tool scored 469!

@senors @jummolami thank you all...I really appreciate the help.

Is it undergraduate or post graduate.

DEEAJA:
Good day House!

I and my husband registered with WES for assessment since Aug 2016. I got my own assessment Dec 2016. He is yet to get his assessment. The status still shows "Awaiting verification from Institution". He has gone to his alma mata (Uni Ibadan) to follow-up and he ensured those in charge responded but the status still remains the same. WES still claims not have received confirmation from Uni Ibadan. Please what do you think he can do as this is delaying us from creating EE profile

Wao. This is really helpful.
Thank you.

billy:
If WES has sent verification mail to LASU. First of all, check with the verification unit (first floor) in Exams and Records to confirm receipt of the verification mail. If it's in, you need to proceed to Sterling Bank inside the campus to pay N10,000 into LASU Third Party Account. You then take the copy of the teller to Block 6 in Admin Building to convert it to receipt. After this you proceed to Exams and Record and give them the receipt so they can respond to WES accordingly.

I am equally waiting for LASU to respond to WES Verification mail after I sorted out the above process.

All the best!

Thank you,

He will be there next week

Kontagious:
There's a payment (10k) required to process the verification. Try get to LASU as soon as you can or send someone there. Once that payment is made, watch your status change within a week.

Quick update!!!!

LASU has delivered hubby's transcript to WES finally and verification sent to LASU. Really appreciate all.
now to pursue verification with LASU.

Still waiting for UI oooo, no response per verification yet. hmmm the only delay is "no light in the school" as reported.
I am tired of naija.

jummolami:
Please great people I need help on the following:
1. university of Ibadan verification process. I got an email from WES since last week Monday that copies of my transcript have been sent to my school for verification.

2. Hubby applied online for his lasu transcript 2 weeks ago. But don't know even understand how to track the transcript processing in lasu. Does he need to visit LASU in person. .

Please any one with idea. Please help me oo

Thank you.

Sent a PM.

Respond ASAP

balogunsam:
The verification request WES sends to schools after receiving transcript and your certificate.

hi

which inquiry?

balogunsam:
Anyone from UNiversity of Ibadan (UI) who has done WES should please provide contacts for those I can call to confirm the inquiry sent to the school from WES please oooo. Sent since August 7 and up till now no update.

Hi,
Am also waiting for Ado response to verification. The person I called said I should wait for 3weeks. By next week it should be 3weeks for me. Its the hard copy mail sent by WES thru Posting they work with.

You will pay 5k as well for the verification.
Once they have it, they will respond via email first before posting a response letter via courier.

I am also waiting. So relax

eyoiba:
Good evening everyone, please I'm in a dilemma and need assistance. This is a little long but kindly bare with me. I'm doing ECA for my wife and we're stuck at verification stage. My wife's institution is Federal Polytechnic AdoEkiti. Transcript has been sent to wes and already acknowledged. Her transcript process was super fast and I was surprised at the level of the school's transcript processing speed and ease. Her status has changed to "awaiting verification from your institution" since 17th August but that's where the challenge started.

I have contacted the institution and was told that they have not seen any mail from WES. Infact almost all the school's emails have been checked without success. From the way one of their staff spoke, it's like verification is always sent through surface mail which sometimes take weeks before arriving at the school. Then the school replies through surface mail back to wes. The staff however promised to check another email of the school next week but I doubt if they will see anything.

I went back to wes website and I saw where they said they also use regular mail depending on the verifiable channel of communication that an institution use. My challenge however is that I paid for the regular mail option when I registered for her ECA which is not reliable as I never envisaged that the school will use surface mail for correspondence.

Please house I need your help. What should be my next course of action?
(1) Should I contact wes and pay additional money for courier and is this possible? How will I go about it?
(2)Has anyone ever had experience with Fed Poly AdoEkiti and if yes how did you go about it?
(3) Any other advice or suggestions?

I had to use WES because they give higher points for OND/HND.

I am the principal Applicant and I need the points she will add to my score.

Thanking you in advance for replies.

Responded.

ENGRDUDU89:
Hi,I just pm you.I want to ask some questions pertaining UI transcripts

Any UI person in the house.

I was just told that UI does verification via email but in batches. But I have to wait till they have more request for verification and that it is not done individually.

The lady is saying I can pay for dhl is to fast track.......
