Hello,

I just found out the person who sent my transcripts to WES no longer works with the school and might have used the wrong email or address as I saw a cache of requests and emails from WES.

I applied for Express courier on WES but I will like to cancel it and resend my transcripts cos WES might post to the wrong address.

My status on wes portal is on hold cos of the request I made for Express courier. How do I cancel it?
You queries are not too clear but are you saying you made a transcript request in your school and someone who's no more a staff sent the transcript? How did the person get hold of your transcript if s/he is no more a staff? Can you confirm the courier used, if you can get the tracking number, you should be able to query the intended address. That would confirm if the transcript is headed in the right direction or not.

You can edit your address on WES portal, so there's really no need to cancel the express courier.

I am interested in this question.
For 1) she said they have evaluated only their MSc. Would it be appropriate for them to indicate both their BSc and their MSc while filling the EE profile? Or are you saying they should indicate both but only signify ECA gotten for the MSc and state NO for their BSc?

For 3) You answered she should state "NO" for her husband's work history on their EE profile. Wouldn't they be losing marks for that when actually the husband has over 10 years working experience?

Will like some clarifications so I can learn here.
It's two ways - indicate both and state ECA for only MSc or Indicate just the MSc. I would rather go with the first option as that might relate to when one started working. There's a question as though when did Belushi7 became authorized to practice this profession.

Spouse's work experience gained outside Canada will not add any point regardless of number of years. I assumed the work experience is outside Canada.

Thank you for the response. All points noted.

For #1, pls note we both did not evaluate Bsc, does it matter?

The reference is from a past employer, it has been issues since June, 2017 with the Toronto address. Do I request another pls?

So if I understand your response to #3, his current job detail is fine?

Thanks
Sorry, I skipped to respond to this yesterday.

If you add BSc, select no when asked if you have ECA for it. Alternatively, you may leave out the BSc and just state MSc. Whichever is fine.

Your reference letter is fine.

For your spouse's work experience, if the experience is outside Canada. It's best you edit your EE profile now, select No when asked if he has work history. Answering no will take out the part where you have to fill his work details. If you leave it the way you have it now, you may need to provide reference letter for him.

I hope it's clear now?

I got PFL about one and half hour ago.

A Canadian Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree or an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report produced by a designated organization indicating that your foreign education is the equivalent of a Canadian Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree. o Based on the results of your Educational Credential Assessment, your foreign education states that you currently have the Canadian equivalent of two diplomas and one graduate certificate in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology. As such, you do not appear to meet the education requirement. You have 30 calendar days from the date of this letter to provide additional information or documentation to support that your application satisfies program criteria:  Provide any additional information or documentation to demonstrate that you have a degree that is equivalent to a Canadian Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree and have it verified by any authorized Educational Credential Assessment.

Please help!!!!!
1.) What degree(s) did you evaluate?
2.) What's the summary on your ECA?
3.) What class of education did you select in your EE profile?
4.) Which evaluating body did you use?

Those evaluating or wanting to evaluate Unilag (or other schools) diploma may take note of this.

Good morning lovely people,

Please I have few question/clarifications:

1. I evaluated MSc only for spouse and I. Do we need to list educational history from secondary to Bsc and then Msc?

2. POF is in spouse name. However, I am the PA. Can we use it?

3. Spouse has over 10 years experience with just a single organisation. Although, he has passed through different departments. Do we specify various job position/dept he has been in the EE or just his current one.

4. I have an employer's reference letter dated June, 2017. Can I still make use of it ( hoping for ITA in the next draw). Also, they requested for an address ( they do not issue 'to whom'), I provided CIC Toronto, Ontario address - Pls is this in order?

Thank you all.
1.) BSc and MSc should be in order.

2.) Yes you can. You may also add a consent letter from you spouse stating he's authorizing the use of the account/funds.

3.) Since you are the PA, please save yourself stress of adding his employment history. Just simply leave it in his personal history. You wouldn't even need to state the department there.

4.) If the letter is from a past employer, yes. If not, simply request a new one. For the address, use;
Central Intake Office (CIO)
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
Sydney, Nova Scotia
Canada.

Modified:
The #3 up there applies post ITA. Simply select No when asked if he has work history in your EE Profile.

einsteino:
mehn, i got tensed in part 2 cry. dont know what came over me. i think i even had about 20 seconds left, wasnt up to my average performance. the other sections were fine, i started part 1 well and managed to get a hold of myself in part 3.

my last attempt was an 8 in speaking, and i had a similar experience but cant say if it was as bad. Nonetheless, I really do hope it doesnt slip below 7.5.. my tentative CRS with max IELTS is a borderline one, so i really need a minimum of 7.5. Thanks for asking
Hi Einsteino,

Surely, you'd pass your test with the desired scores.

My 1st speaking is what I'd term a disaster, I didn't speak for 2 minutes during the part 2. I was tensed for a better part of the whole speaking test. Result came and I scored 7.5

2nd test, I was too confident. Examiner had a couple of short laughs with clear smiles here and there, she stopped me in part 2 plus a few other questions. Result came and I scored 7!

I will not accept the argument that I used a wider range of vocabulary or I spoke more fluently in my first attempt. I couldn't have been tensed and be using high end vocab not to even mention the me all of a sudden stuttering and saying thank you where not needed.

I remember well I was worried about my speaking in the 1st attempt and listening in the 2nd. Both components came out with desired scores. How I got 8 in listening remains a mystery. If they did the adjustment as discussed here, God bless them, if it was solely my effort, all thanks to God.

In all, relax, breathe and prepare for Saturday's bout. You will triumph.

Please someone should help me I have used the crs calculator it is showing I not eligible. Single applicant 33, working in the financial industry for 7 years highest degree is BSc
The CRS tool should not show if you're eligible or not. It's just meant to calculate your projected CRS score. Use this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

You may however reconsider the amount you stated and your IELTS score.

My question is.for a principal applicant who has a b.sc degree in anothr field.but has certification and experience which falls under NOC 2263 Inspectors in public and environmental health and occupational health and safety. How can he defend such work experience in express entry since the certificate cannot be evaluated by wes.
2. If the spouse decides not to write ielts can her ond and hnd alone be used to get more points.
Thank you for your anticipated response.
Hi,

1.) Evaluate your Bsc degree using any of the preferred organizations. You simply defend your work experience by providing reference letter(s) from your employer(s) stating IRCC’s requirements. Your education and work history does not necessarily need to match.

2.) Yes, spouse ECA alone can be used to gain more points. In case of OND and HND, it is accessed as 2 or more certificates which gives 9 points out of 10 points claimable by spouse under education. So, your spouse can gun for ECA and not write IELTS, but IELTS has potential of adding 20 points if aced.

Congrats bro.

Mine is nothing to write home about. Worse than the first infact, got 7 in listening while first attempt was 7.5.
All others were okay.
Demotivated, confused is an understatement right now. 68k down the drain again embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed
Allow me share little experience. I felt almost same way you feel when I saw my first result, in the anger I registered myself and my wife. Though without her writing ielts, we stand a chance of hitting 452, I wasn't thinking straight as clearly there was no need for her writing. When I was claim, I realized we'd be spending 151k (the two exams + remark). 151k to dash BC when POF never complete, and that was even discounting the earlier 68k.

We later decided to go for just the remark as chances were high we'd get the boost. Eventually went with option of writing the second time just as a back-up.

Think about your result but don't dwell too much on it. Pick yourself up and forge ahead. If you didn't leave too many questions unanswered, I think you should explore remarking.

Good day house

Please I need your advice seriously.

Me and my husband Ielts result came out today

Mine -LRWS 8.5,7,7,7.5
Husband- LRWS 9,9,6.5,7. first attempt (7.5,7.6.6.5)

Hi,

Let me respond to just your query on the remark. His result as spouse is perfect, if you remark and he gets even the highest band, what a 9 (from 6.5) would add is just 2 points, same if it is upgraded to 7!

About 10 weeks to wait for the remark for 2 points is a no for me.

Go to BC Center in Enugu (I presume you wrote it there) with your draft of 15K addressed to them.
Fill the forms there and they will tell you all you need to know/do.
Enugu test center has its BC office in Port Harcourt, the EOR request will have to be made at Port Harcourt. Concern I have is that the result might be shipped any moment from today I think, hence him waiting to receive the TRF before he can proceed with the EOR.

Obinwannechukwu, I just read your post on you travelling. In that case, let the TRF be delivered to address you used, once delivered a proxy can request the EOR for you. You might however consider writing an authorization letter asking your result be given to a designated person just in case the TRF isn't delivered but that's very unlikely.

What do you advice we do further.

407 seems low for recent draws. Have you checked with you being the PA? Another option is to max out score from language test but that puts you at the mercy of BC.

Last resort might be to aim for PNP, that way you get 600 additional points if nominated but its an expensive and time consuming route.

You need to raise a bank draft of N15,000 in favour of British Council.

Go to British Council's office of your test center, speak to any representative that you want to request a remark, you'd be guided to the appropriate personnel where you'd be given a form to fill then asked to hand over the result and the bank draft.

So, go along with your TRF and Bank Draft.

Please note you can only request for remark if the test date is not up to six weeks.

Using the 5 digit exam number is fine. You can as well use 6 starting with 0 then the 5 digit.

But as matter be now that you couldn't view with just 5 digits (assuming all other required details are correct), i'm almost certain it will be same using 6 digits. Looks more like yours is part of those to be released much later.
