Haven't you met out Resident Prophet Cochtrane, of Canadian Express Entry Church, Part 2 Branch in Nairaland State?

The bros get plenty title na, only him still hold Chief data custodian. Only him you see eligible women fighting for his body parts - some going for brain, some for chest, some left ring finger, some uhmmm.

cochtrane:
What was I thinking...that should be next two weeks.

I wondered, but then you even put date join like say thing was a sure bet. The more closer the draws to each other, the more likely points are to drop. So I was already getting happy for us in the waiting.

Guys, please let's continue to be tolerant of each other, there's really no point throwing words here and there. Divided we stand, united we fly.

As life proceeds, we all make choices that comes with consequence(s). Worst thing to do is to blame that consequence on someone else.

cochtrane:
Next draw, 14th Sep, you will surely get ITA

Bros, please Ehn, how are you so sure there'd be another draw Next Week?

elfmann:
How u take know? Transcript wey u never see.

Cos he knows DoB he filled when entering school is different from what he filled when applying for the passport... Official age things

oluphilip2008:
Draw at 435 today

This one draws be taking one step forward at a time so, hopefully it won't decide to take a giant step or even leap.

Erm, Mr. Oluphilip, were you constantly refreshing that page?

By the way, congrats to all recipients of this draw.

There is no placeholder specifically for IELTS for either the PA or accompanying spouse. From information on this thread, IELTS results and ECA should be added to Educational Qualification Documents. Except there is no placeholder for your spouse's educational qualifications.

I don't think there is placeholder for spouse's educational qualification if ECA for spouse is not done. So, placeholder for spouse's ielts becomes Gulder Ultimate Search in that instance, thus the suggestion to add spouse's ielts to LOE. Issue has been resolved though.

You see some posts and can't just help but laugh out loud, these two below are one of those!

Temas:
Are you evaluating your credentials and then sending it back to unilag. AYAMNOT UNDERSTANDING.
please clarify.

and the young man did clarify!

Enryking:
yes, am evaluating and sending to Unilag.

Ehm Enryking, please be sure to do the right thing. You are to input just your own address in the recipients tab. WES will even do well to send your ECA to IRCC even without you sending them message ehnn.

GlitteringStar:
Osemigho evaluated his NCE and BSc certificates but he used IQAS and not WES.

sleekysilk:
YES! I hereby confirm that NCE and BSc qualify for points for 2 or more certificates. These are my qualifications. NCE according to WES is equivalent to a Canadian '3 year diploma' and my BSc( direct entry for that matter) also equivalent to a '3year bachelors degree'. And my CRS gave me maximum points under education and with my over 3yrs work experience, I also got 100/100 under skill transferability.

Thank you both.

Choice is left to either go with WES or IQAS. Might be reasonable to say ICES will evaluate in same light.

yimiton:
Yes, I was in the same situation, and I raised a CSE but was I advised that I should have explained it with an LOE and uploaded it in the placeholder for LOE before submission. I think the advise is a better option.

Thank you Yimiton. Guess you have a workable solution now Philip3.

JORN:
My wife has NCE and BSc Ed. and yes, she is my mate. I assume her taking IELTS and going for her ECA as advised will be the game changer assuming I also retake the test.

Cochtrane, can you please help confirm (search) that WES equates NCE and BSc to two or more certificates.
Be like we had a case of such but I can't remember well.

If WES does equates to two or more, than that's good for JORN - that's more points than just BSc.

philip3:
hello, there is no place holder for wife's ielts. do I add it to my own education place holder since I will be uploading my ielts or do I put it in the LOE place holder?

Yimiton was in same spot few weeks back, seem she raised CSE to upload. Let's wait for her to confirm what she did.

Hephgirl:
Wes got my hubby's transcript on d 1st of September. And his eca is ready . Mainwhile they said 22nd o... Jeez d speeeeeeeed

Great. I want to believe the degree is not Nigerian. Please confirm.

elfmann:
Each year increase is 5 points deduction.

It's increased to 10 from 40 years.

JORN:
its International Credential Assessment Service (ICAS) of Canada and I suppose its one of the bodies nominated by CIC. was designated same year as WES. Reply was my credentials is same standard as that of Canada.

My IELTS was taken in February this year.

My wife is same age as myself and i will say i am more qualified than her.

What do you think?

I will reecho Yimiton's advice.

You have to redo the ielts and aim to score what Yimiton advised.
Redo your ECA with WES, both BSC and PGD to get you two or more certificate summary.
Let your wife take the ielts and aim 8777
Do your wife's ECA (assuming a BSc for her)

If you achieve all above, your score stands at 420. If draws are higher than this when all documents are ready, you should get a provincial nomination and that will be sufficient to get you in.

You should however note you'd loose 10 points as your age increases!

Lets wait for more input.

JustinTrudeau:
No definite time, i'm just soaking it in each day.All i get after sending them an email is:

Thank you for contacting us, we appreciate your patience.

We're working very hard to ensure that we get feedback from the team as soon as possible; we have been in contact with them.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Kind regards,

This response is pathetic and useless, how hard can it be to get a feedback from a team. If it's been a while you got this, i'd suggest you do another mail or probably visit their office. Least let them give you a time to expect your result, that will aid your decision on what next to do.

Have you registered for another test?

JORN:
I have a little challenge and I pray to be given a helping Hand. This is it:

1. I have done my IELTs with the following scores: L 8; R 7; W 6; S 7.5
2. Sent my ECA to ICAS and have been replied
3. have a 12 years Experience as a teacher with Bsc Industrial Mathematics and PGDE
4. NOC is 'A 4031'
5. Have a wife and three Children
6. I am 40yrs old
7. Just got admitted for Msc Mathematics
8. Now tried using the come to Canada online tool to check for my eligibility and along the line was asked how many years experience do i have as a skilled worker in Canada, then my NOC. I replied none for each since i have not been to Canada and was told i was not eligible to apply. Should I have used answered on the affirmative based on the fact that i already posses this skills in Nigeria as well as the NOC in Nigeria?

What are my Chances?

Thank you.

Please clarify ICAS or ICES. If ICAS, what reply did you get and when are you expecting to receive the ECA... You might want to consider a shift to a more reliable body if you are just starting with ICAS.

Sadly, your age puts you at a disadvantage, as you will be losing lots of needed points. When did you take your ielts, was it less than 6 weeks back? If yes, please request for a remark in your writing.

Another way around your situation is to make you wife the PA. How old is she and does she have work experience that falls within the A, B, 0 category? If yes, and a bit younger, she might be a better option at being the PA. You’d just have to prep her for ielts and go for her ECA.

geebaby10:
Please I have a question

Person A had over 3 years in one job then started a new job post ITA. Because new job is less than two months at the time 90 days is up, a reference letter cannot be obtained as Peron A is still in training in the new job.

For documentation Person A uploads a proper reference letter for the first job (this is the work experience that points were claimed for before ITA) and for the second one, uploads just the employment letter. In the LOE, the person explains that as the job is new and training is still ongoing, roles and responsibilities have not been properly defined and includes other details about the job like hours a week etc.

Both jobs were listed in the employment place and personal history place. Documents have already been submitted.

Please what are the implications of this?

ITA was received, more so, maximum points needed for work experience is already attained with previous job, why not leave the new job out of employment history?. Capturing the new job in personal history should be sufficient.

By documents have already been submitted, do you mean application submitted? (and gotten AOR). If so, what you listed up there should suffice, I believe.

A plea to all,

If you have an issue that has been touchlighted by the house, please do well to update the house even if na minor movement. Let’s learn from you and keep the information bank rich.

kissoflife, any update as regards your ECA conversion?

Our honorable PM, JustinTrudeau, what’s BC saying? Any definite time to expect your result?

Wapu, were you able to resolve your missing result with BC? and hope you've made progress on your ECA with IQAS

Miminice, your EOR (though not needed) should be about its 10th week by now, any word from BC yet?

Hephgirl:
I wanted to answer... But then let's wait for Cochtrane and 40manlappy to comman answer you

Hephgirl yaff vexx finish oo... This your comment is funny and at the same time wicked. To conceive and then type it out is even more wicked. We follow mmrius beg you, e do mistake, e for include your name in those mentioned. Biko, no vex again ehn.

sweetrie:
Pls how do I help someone collect his IELTS trf and apply for a remark. What do I need to go with? Thank you very much. @Cochtrane and anyone else who can help.

Request the person to write an authorization letter stating you will be collecting the result on his/her behalf. Go along with the person’s copy of international passport data page, remember to go with yours too (I think any statutory ID will do).

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

Once at BC, you’d be given the result upon presentation of the letter, person’s ID and yours.

Proceed to ask for EOR, you’d be given a form then asked to hand over the result and the bank draft.

Bankole1790:
Hello great people.I want to write ielts exam in 2weeks and I need a recommended textbook or online materials that will make me get the points I desire.Thanks and I am looking forward to hearing from you.Thanks

The test I know coming up are this weekend (9th) and on the 30th - more than three weeks away. Not sure where your 2 weeks falls.

To your concern, please send your email address to lwrs9999@gmail.com then politely request for study packs. You can as well quote or tag DereI with your email address, she'd send you study materials she has.

nnekdre:
Pls must I verify my Bsc result cause I have a master's and intend verifying only that to reduce money as time constraint because my master's is in the UK and will be quite faster to evaluate. Just want to know if it will affect my score.
Secondly the CRS is that the actual score you get when you enter the pool or just an estimate cause I near people saying that the more experience the higher the score and the NOC also increase score as well . But on the CRS it's just shows 3 or more years having same score from NOC A,B, 0
Thanks

Save time and money by evaluating only your MSc with WES. WES will complete the ECA much faster than any other known body. You'd get the same score even if you add your BSc.

You get same score in your EE profile as obtained in the CRS tool if all information remains same.

cochtrane:
The best advice I'll give you concerning reading is that the answers are almost always paraphrases in the original comprehension. If you understand this concept, you'll get a 9 in reading. Use that concept to practice. The reading is the easiest to get a 9 in, cos all the answers are staring you right in the face.

Questions are paraphrased you meant. Answers are picked (word for word) right from the passage without changing their form.

billy:
He should ace the ielts exam first and not with an assumed score. A bo wa ba ni ECA....Lol

I go with MummyJaygirls on this one. S/he should start ECA as soon as possible. ECA for Nigerian degree takes months, some Nigerians schools can like to be something else. You should also not discount processing time of the evaluating body can be extended at any time. Both ECA and Ielts should actually be pursued simultaneously, preferably starting the ECA 1st.

I started my ECA when I had no valid passport, went on to renew the passport (which took about 4 weeks), then booked the earliest ielts (that too was about 4 weeks away). ECA and Ielts came 3 days apart.

billy:
@bbaby84, to corroborate your post below. I did a small analysis shown below using the CRS tool.

I am married with two kids. I completed CRS tool as married and chose spouse not accompanying me with a certain IELTS score (S:7.5-9, L:8, R:7.0-7.5 & W:7.0).

Hi billy, I feel compelled to respond to this post though would rather want the the debate to end as its been subtly on for a while. However, if the debate goes on with pointers that might help one, two or five people, then it's worth it.

I agree 100% with your post (and bbaby84 submissions) but I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that you lose points in some factors if you chose you have a spouse, rather we mostly recommend test takers (either single or married) to aim 8777 LRWS. Here is the gist, an applicant who is single does not get maximum score attainable from ielts with 8777 so does a PA with a spouse loses points attaining that score. A spouse on the other hand gets maximum (20) points claimable scoring 8777.

If I am right, yooku's initial post was made to encourage future test takers to max out their score with 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 (LRWS), but she only referenced CRS factor from a married applicant's perceptive.

In summary, applicants either single or married (PA) gunning to secure points possible should aim higher than 8777.

cc: yooku, bbaby84, XX01

XX01:
I was buttressing his fact. 8777 does not give you maximum points. It gives you about 20 points less than maximum. Its for spouse that it gives the maximum.

Supported. 12 points less actually. 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 (LRWS) gives maximum points for PA while 8777 gives maximum for spouse.

Bimpsy99:
I changed my name on international passport post AOR. I raise a CSE with it and they acknowledged three weeks later, created a placeholder for me. My PPR came with the new surname.

I would suggest you start the process of getting the new passport immediately after ietls so that you can use it to submit the application once and for all in order to avoid an ADR. Which ever way you do it. You would be fine. Just ensure the change of name documents are uploaded when submitting.

Thank you Bimpsy.

1. Will i be able to change my passport post IELTS to my Married name? if yes, please share a reference.

Please is there any one that has experienced this, please share.

My sister, you have absolutely nothing to worry about here. You can change your name post Ielts. We've had a case of one who changed post AOR! ugoiyke79e (I think), she submitted her new passport post AOR and got PPR about three weeks after she did.

linaskreat:
Trust me I did. I started reading the post from3 weeks ago. Not line by line, but scanning through to find questions and comments relating to the areas I am confused about.

It won't hurt to flog it one more time though.

I remembered seeing your questions and thought you couldn't have read the entire 820 pages without being adequately informed, particularly to your situation. Then bigfido took the words out of my mouth.

The bolded means you indeed missed what you were reading for... You can put out your questions again, sure cochtrane will single out postsssss related to your questions. Abi I lie Senior Resident Data Analyst. Elders sef will follow torchlight the matter.

koonlay5:
In addition, she can swear an affidavit at a Fed High Court, stating she has never been married, has a child, has lost contact with the father and effort to trace him prove abortive

This will be perjury - the offence of wilfully telling an untruth or making a misrepresentation under oath - and comes with grave consequence.

MummyJaygirls:
Please those that checked their ielts result, how did u do it, someone I know can't access hers. Thanks

Let her check that passport number is entered correctly, the alphabet be in capital. If passport number and candidate number are entered correctly, then the undesired might have occurred - test result held for QA/QC. If result is held for QA/QC, she will be notified via mail before today runs out.
