Very well said!

And your brilliant comment will not get as many likes as it deserves compared to a silly joke because we don't like being told the truth.

You see almost the whole town coming out and standing for hours under the sun just to welcome a politician that came visiting.

Let's keep celebrating criminals my people and watch how things get from worse to worst!

TEYA:
When do we fix what?
Citizens defend thieves that call themselves politicians.
Citizens defend criminals that call themselves "G boys".
Citizens defend rich drug traffickers who come back home to build churches for them (The Ozobulu incidence comes to mind).
Professors and Doctors do not enjoy the respect our people accord to Yahoo boys and drug traffickers.
Yet all of us think a president will come one day who will turn Nigeria into an Eldorado.
The America and France and Germany that we love going to did not get far that way.
God will not do anything, no politician will change anything. We should change our evil ways and we will have good leaders and Nigeria will become a better place.

Hello Sir, sorry to bother you much, but do you have any idea on what triggered the need for ADR on Tax Certificate?

I'm about to start processing my documents and while at it, I definitely know my former employer will be unable to provide a tax certificate for me.

I just want to be clear on the cause, and probably a way out if I'm faced with a similar issue.

Best wishes as your PPR draws closer.

Hello, I can't really say for sure what may have triggered such request. I believe everyone's case is unique, it's not like it's a general thing to request for such. In my own case my old passport expires in February 2018, and so I was asked to provide a new one, proof of payment for my RPRF along with some payslips and tax documents

Abbylee:
Raise a CSE and upload it the tax clearance certificate

Thank you, will do so.

Good day dear e-family,

I was sent a mail to upload some extra supporting documents to my CIC account with just a one week grace period. Unfortunately I was able to provide all other documents except for one (my tax clearance certificate) by the given deadline.


I attached a letter of explanation that it would be made available to me by my employer some days after the given deadline.
The problem now is there is no more provision to upload any other documents after I put up the others by the given deadline.

Please guys, what do you advice is the way forward in my situation as I wouldn't want to take any chances?


Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses.

Good morning everyone,


I was sent a mail requesting for more documents like payslip, tax clearance and staff ID to back up my working experience. I was also asked to make payment of $490 CAD for RPRF and upload the payment receipt as I only made payment for my application fees when I submitted in August.

Please I'd like to know how I can go about this payment with my debit card. No payment details were given in the mail I received and I can't seem to find any link in my CIC account as to how I can go about it.


Thanks guys for your anticipated responses.

Abeg help me tell them o.
The average Nigerian doesn't appreciate unique punch lines in rap music.
Young Six gives me joy no Nigerian rapper can anytime I listen to his music or watch his videos plus his swag is very rare.
A very creative and intelligent young lyricist with a unique voice.

I just remembered a freestyle he did during the Tiwa Savage and Tbillz drama

'My chick be balling up in the club whenever you see her'
'She make it rain steady burning billz like Tiwa'

Ambitionsway:
Yung6ix remains king of the south no doubt, he got the money if you want to compare just that he does his own in low keys and as for the flows he got kills lyrics just listen to his jambs..

Wow! Seems we have an almost similar issue here.
Thanks so much for this info.
Please how much and how long did the renewal go for and how do I go about this CSE stuff?

Peaceful2016:
My old passport was to expire Feb 3 2018 and I submitted my application Aug 1. I renewed my passport already and submitted a CSE in September to update my records.

Thanks for your response

thoneey:
I think passport is eligible for renewal when you have less than 6 months as you need at least 6 months to expiry to apply for most visas. But I would let others share their experiences as i didn't do mine in Nigeria but i also had about 4 months left when i renewed.

Hello everyone!

Please I'd love to know when the Nigerian passport is eligible for renewal. Mine expires in second week of February 2018 and I submitted my application in late August. If and when my application is successful, are they likely to request for a new passport or it's still the old one they will need?

Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses guys!

Good morning my people.

I am currently doing all my uploads and I noticed there is no where for uploading IELTS result sheet and birth certificate from National Population Commission.

Please should I forget about uploading these two and move on or should I include them under Letter of explanation uploads?

Thanks guys for your anticipated responses.

AlexanderGreat:

Kevinoh:
Hello house, please what particular address should my bank use on the bank reference letter they are to give me?

Is Citizenship and Immigrations Canada enough or they need to include a particular processing office?

Hello house, please what particular address should my bank use on the bank reference letter they are to give me?

If only they knew there will be no eviction this week, I'm sure they wont be doing all these. Such a shame there is so much hunger in the land; I feel sad for my country...

Hello dear e-family,

Please for our Engineers in the house who have done their assessments with Engineers Australia, which of these payment options (between the first and second) did you choose? I'm a bit confused, does EA assess work experience? I've got 3+ yrs work experience and I read somewhere on the other thread that years of experience are being reduced to make up for the assessment. Does EA also do this reduction thing?

Sorry for my plenty questions guys, I just don't want to make any mistakes.

lawland:
1. I think you should process both together if your husband meets the requirements, Accounting in Australia I believe have reached its occupation ceiling and is considered in pro rata bases.
2. There is a strong competition here for accounting, but Australia is land of opportunities, the most important thing is getting here.
3. You can use the same ielts if it meets the specified requirement but he will do another skill assessment with his assessment body.
4. www.border.gov.au and www.skillselect.gov.au you can also get more information if you read up this thread.

Helo sir, sorry to bother you. Please I'd like to send you a pm; I need some help from you with reference to a previous post of yours concerning CDR assessment.

Thanks in anticipation for your response soonest.

johnsontade:
Its no longer required. All you need to upload is your 3 episodes(to be uploaded separately), CPD, summary statement and other required supoirt documents like your transcript, cert e.t.c.

Merci beaucoup @ johnsontade
You are a kind hearted fellow.

princdebola201:
Eastern part of Nigeria consist of more than one tribe.

But one of them is notorious for drug trafficking

And if I may ask, what part of the country is synonymous with being on the news for ritual killings? Just ask google!

Crime is crime!
But if you ask me, taking another man's life/body parts for money is the height of all crimes cos it's not only babaric but evil from the pit of hell.

Happy sunday sir,

Please I need some advice from you concerning PTE exam and my career episode drafting for Engineers Australia. I have just sent you a pm. Please do respond when you can.
Thank you.

[quote author=scrollmeout post=42911972]You can write PTE @ BCIE, William Jumbo House Aba Road (near Garrison ). You need to register online for it so you wouldn't have to pay more. Use Google to search for the PTE registration link


Thanks bro!
Pls where can I get materials for the exam? Have u got some u can share with me?

Hello people,

Well done to everyone who have kept this thread alive and furnished us with relevant information.

I wish to apply for the PR 189 route. I have written IELTS general twice now and didn't get my desired scores. In my first attempt I had R8.5 L7.5 W7.5 S7.5 and my second attempt R8 L7 W7 S6.5. It's quite painful because I need an 8 across all bands in order to ace 20 points under language ability .

I am 29 yrs old with a B-Eng in Mechanical Engineering and just 2 yrs work experience. I have decided to give PTE exam a try hoping I make 80 across all bands. Please I need help on all possible materials soft and hard copies I can lay my hands on so I can ace this exam once and for all. Where in PH is the best place I can sit for it and how much does it cost presently?

To my fellow Engineers who have gone about their assessment successfully with Engineers Australia, pls show a brother how to go about this the right way. I have downloaded the hand book and studied it to the best of my knowledge but I still find the whole process a bit challenging with my little work experience.

I need your guidance and professional advice. No tip is too small. Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses.

Hello guys,

Please is there anyone here who has had his/her credentials evaluated by WES from Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri?

My status on WES website has been "awaiting verification from your institution" since november last year.

All my efforts to get past this stage has proven abortive. I'm soliciting for help from anyone here who may have a link or contact to the particular department responsible for responding to such verification in Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri.


Thanking you guys in advance for your help.[/quote]

Sunny4Gold:
How far?

I finally got a mail a day after the graduation ceremony I was suppose to attend saying my passport is ready for pickup but am yet to do so. Even if it's a denial, I ought to have been contacted before the ceremony. I will go pick it up whenever I am chanced as I'm not in Lagos right now. Its quite unfortunate they had to behave so unprofessional

Sunny4Gold:
How far? Have you pick up your passport yet? My wife is having same issue since November 11th

No, not yet. I contacted them via their TLS contact link and they sent me a mail that their local team is doing some further investigation. Meanwhile the graduation ceremony I was to attend is for today.

I don't understand how they are still investigating whatever after I got a mail on the 11th from shefield saying a decision has been made.

Please guys, is this normal?

FrontPageLawyer:
Send a query to TLScontact through their website.

Thanks for your response, will do as suggested.

Good morning my people,

I got a mail since thursday morning last week that a decision has been made and uptil this moment I have not heard from them.

Please is this normal?

Brytawon:
Same youths clamouring for Biafra were the same people shouting UP NIGERIA! when we won the FIFA U-17 World Cup some few days back in Chile.

Do me a favour and look up the names of these football players that brought us victory and tell me what part of the country they are from

Helo my dear people,

Please I would love to know if it is mandatory I go with my original international passport for processing a police report in Lagos or I could use a photocopy in place as my passport is currently at an embassy. I don't reside in Lagos and I intend being in Lagos by next week wednesday. I just thought I could seize this opportunity to get the police report while in Lagos.

Again, I would love to know the recent validity of a nigerian police clearance report for the express entry program. Is it 3 months or 6 months? How much does it now cost?

Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses.

Hello my people,please I need some help.

I had my Bsc evaluated late last year. I now wish to evaluate my OND for some extra points which is not in any way linked to my Bsc. When I logged into my previous acct on WES website I saw an 'upgrade report' link beside my previous evaluation which I selected and it took me to another stage where I selected the option 'add another credential'

At some point I was asked to enter the details of the credential I want to upgrade. My challenge here is that I am not sure if it is my Bsc credential which has already been evaluated or my OND which I wish to evaluate that I should enter here. Perhaps if it was a masters degree I now wish to evaluate I wouldn't be encountering this confusion considering the fact that it is an upgrade to a Bsc. I have contacted WES severally without any replies. Maybe my challenge sounds funny to them. All I want is to get a single report showing I have two or more post secondary qualifications for the express entry.

Please for the experienced ones and for those who have done two evaluations at different times, how did you go about it and how much extra did it cost?

Thanks guyz

luvly3:
WES Accepts SOR + Transcript. Just got my uniport degree evaluated.

Hello luvly3,

Pls kindly confirm that WES now evaluates degrees from uniport because I know they had a fallout in the past.

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

waleprizu:
This is for those asking about IELTS tips. I will write all I can below (Pardon the writing for being chaotic).

The first thing I did was to get the Cambridge Official Guide to IELTS (picture attached). The book is amazing and it contains all the tips you need to ace the test. Try to lay your hands on the book and study everything from cover to cover. Make sure you outline and strengthen your weakness(es).

Listening: For the listening exam, solve as many practice tests as possible. Also, you can improve your listening abilities by downloading different IELTS apps on your phone (android, iOS, Windows OS etc). Some apps have radio stations from different countries (Canada, England, Australia etc). This will attune you with the different accents. On the exam day, try as much as possible not to get distracted. If you miss an answer, don't waste time trying to ponder over it. Just go straight to the next question. Also, be wary of punctuation when writing down your answers in the listening section. On the test day, make sure you pre-read the question when they ask you to. Try to read the instructions and understand the maximum/minimum words required for each section. I'm not sure about the operating procedure for each centers. For my exam, I studied with earphones and I did the listening exam with loudspeakers (in an enclosed room). I was distracted and didn't answer 2 questions. I also made a mistake not to ask for a walkman/earphones which I was told that they would have provided if I asked.

Reading: For the reading, remember that the answers are in the passage (actually you just need to lift them verbatim from the passage except you're doing the true/false/not given or multiple choice section). Try to read the first 3-4 questions before reading the passage. Read slowly and try to answer without using common sense. Actually, my weaknesses are the true/false/not given section and using common sense to answer questions. Try to avoid that. If you have enough time, start with studying the Academic reading section (even though it is unnecessary) before approaching the General Training Section. It will make this section a lot more easier for you.

Writing: I didn't study for the writing part because I thought it should be intrinsic to my subconscious after writing several technical reports in the last few months (I also didn't have the time to study). However, try to write clearly and legibly within the box on the exam day. It's actually better to use pencils than pens. Time is a huge factor here, the first part should take approximately 20mins and the second part should take around 40mins. For the first part (letter writing), remember the different tricks and formalities for writing a formal, semi-formal and an informal letter. For example, ending an informal letter with 'yours faithfully' should be avoided. Learn the rudiments of paragraphing and try to put your thoughts into pen and paper quickly. Strengthen your vocabulary and avoid repetitions. Check online for sample IELTS letters and essays. Lastly, after each paragraph, count the number of LINES (not words) and assume that you write an average of 8-12 words per line depending on how tiny or big your handwriting is. For example, if you assume that you write about 10words per line, you should have at least 16-18 lines (160 - 180 words) for the letter writing. Do the same for the essay writing part.
Note: the minimum no of words for the first part and second part of the writing section are 150 and 250 words respectively.

Speaking: For this part, remember that your English speaking ability is being tested and it has nothing to do with how vast or intelligent you are (avoid arguments also). Be fluent and try to speak SLOWLY and steadily. We all tend to speak very fast if we are passionate about a topic. It's a trap, please avoid it. The mistake I made was that I didn't study at all for the speaking part too (I spent the 4days on Reading and listening). For the part two of the speaking test, I was asked to speak for about a topic for 1-2 mins. I spoke very fast for a little above one min and stopped before being asked by the examiner to continue (this is not a good sign). Try to speak calmly until you are interrupted by the examiner. There's no penalty for speaking beyond the time limit. Ironically, I learnt about the skills for the speaking test after seeing my results (I was worried about the score). I later stopped worrying when I found out that I got a CLB 10 in all section which is the maximum.

Those are my two cents about acing the IELTS. Try to have a target score and work towards it.

Hello sir, did you sit for your IELTS exams here in Nigeria? I have noticed the examiners here in Nigeria seem to be a bit miserly with their marks. They just feel next to no one here deserves to make a CLB 10 across all bands.
