Hello Senior Members,

Kindly feel free to comment on this post as it will go a longer way clearing my doubts.

Presently I’m a single guy and a resident in United Arab Emirate and I'll be getting married next month (May) God’s willing.

I’ve discussed with my fiancee who’s also a resident here in UAE but she doesn’t seem interested(her current job is time consuming) in the program. However, I’m 100% interested and I’ve started with the process of ECA and working towards IELTS since they’re independent of each other. I work in the UAE as a Real Estate Broker and I’ve checked in the NOC code 66232.

My questions are:
1. Can I be married and still apply single(without spouse)?
2. She finished from Fed. Poly Auchi, does anyone know the procedure for transcripts?
3. As the principal applicant, will much emphasis be placed on her IELTS performance?
4. If I continue the process alone and it ends positive, what are the chances of bringing her over?

I'll appreciate anyone’s contributions regarding my questions please.
Thanks

You should reproduce the question, so that we know how to assess your essay.

Even without seeing the question, I need to ask whether you have seen the IELTS requirements for getting a 7? They are: Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource & Grammatical Range and Accuracy. It may be good to understand these requirements before writing any essay.

It will be very helpful to plan what you're going to write and mentally travel through your points before putting pen to paper. I am not sure this was done before you wrote this essay, because I see a lot of ideas all over the place, which I'm not sure were fully developed.

Your points and presentation do not cohere with the theme you're addressing (by this I mean that there is no flow or progression to your write-up). I cannot read it once and grasp the point, I have to go over like twice to make meaning of what you're saying. For instance, the word 'Besides' in Paragraph 2 suggests to me that you have made a point earlier which is negatived/neutralized by the point that comes after 'Besides'. In my view, 'Besides' cannot begin a paragraph if you have not made a previous point.

I think you also chose what I consider a technical essay. I was praying not to meet this 'outweigh' essay because I think it requires some skill to write it impressively within the context of IELTS. Please start with the simple essays and grow into essays like this one.

If it is possible, I suggest that you reschedule the test. This will allow you time to fine-tune your approach to the essay and get valuable help and insight from folks like ladymarshall, wasseynewest or johnnybravo1990. I think you have come out too late to be able to make any concrete adjustments to your plans and have someone tutor you. The tutors on here are quite busy and it takes a while for them to review and revert on essays submitted to them.

Disclaimer:
I AM STILL AWAITING MY IELTS RESULTS, SO I HAVE NO SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE IN THIS MATTER, JUST MY THOUGHTS WHICH YOU ARE ENTITLED TO DISCARD.

All the best.

Topsmamen:
Anyone have the link to March 2019 AOR WhatsApp group, please? Thanks.

phatroy:
Please is it possible to submit statement of result and/or transcript to CIC? i already confirmed statement of result is accepted by WES but the next phase where all documents are to be submitted including that gotten from WES (i think, as i havent started the process yet, just gathering info first). My reason for asking is because i plan on using my Msc (from UNIBEN) to apply but my original certificate wouldnt be ready till next year, tho i have both statement of result and transcript.

nelronaldo:
Please who is required to fill a schedule A form? Am I to fill a schedule A form because I have been refused a Visa in the past? I read in order to avoid delay in application or an ADR, I should fill the form.

Stencil:
LOL Dont get her started with her "cockroach brown"

majamisile:
Boss @Stencil, does this mean that those who claim 40hr/week work hours have more than 1 year work experience even if we have just done 12 months at a particular job? Then I would suggest s/he claims more hours from the recent job experience if she possible. Congratulations to all PPR and ITA clinchers, I hope to catch up to @wesseynewest PPR gist up front :-).

Upton:
Hello people,

During my NYSC, just 9 months salary of the 12 months were paid into my account. Can I upload the statement showing the 9 months alone? Do I have to write an LOE for this as well?

In addition, can I upload bank statement from two different branches of the same bank? In January, i printed my currrent job salary bank statement showing till December 2018 from one branch. Last week, i printed my POF which is in the same account from February till date from another branch. Can I upload both as proof of payments along with my work reference letter? January 2019 salary deposit won't be captured in any of the statements though.

claseek:
Hello, please I've read through the first pages, i couldn't find anything addressing my question.

My husband has an MBA with 5 years experience, and i have a BSc with 3 years experience, with one child.
Now we both believe i have an higher chance at acing the ielts score.

Is it advisable i take the ielts alone, or we do it together. (Note He has not been serious with studying for the exam because of his busy schedule). What will better boost our chances?

Does it boost ur chances, if both couple take the exam

Please advise me. Thank you.

Congratulations!!!!! So happy for you!!!!

Honestly if not that writing is subjective and never perfect, I would have scored you 10. I really enjoyed your script and laughed many times.

Really nice introduction. Your script had a nice flow. Thank you for your elaborating.

@bolded resonated with me so much, I totally understand, hmm!

But why leave out the crucial detail na? Worry not about privacy, we still won't know you in real life So that is minus 2 But for giving back and relating the full gist, I will score you 9.7.

Ypu have made your mum proud and she is definitely smiling back at you. Now go and succeed in Cannyland.

Liz019:
The following events take place in the city of Lagos and a far away dreadful land called the ACCRA VISA OFFICE.

It has been said by victorious warriors before me that once you survive a journey through the Accra visa office evil forest, you can kill a lion with your bare hands.

Starring:
Two study abroad agents, One Canadian Immigration agent, The men and women of the Accra visa office, Big Daddy Ralph and my humble self formerly known as AmeComplique.


The Beginning....
It all started when I got a job with a paramilitary agency sometime in 2016 right after my masters, I knew immediately that I was going to hate the job (i despise redundancy and i felt i was too young to be wasting away just like that). After my first month, I told myself I wasn't going to spend more than two years on the job (even though I exceeded the time frame, praise God I'm finally leaving). My dad hated the job even more than I did and successfully talked me into starting a PhD program.

I reluctantly started the program in one unnecessarily expensive private university. The only thing that kept me in was the thought of having 'Dr.' in front of my name by 26 (man proposes abi. LOL). After my first semester, i knew I wasn't going to use the 'Dr' in front of my name to live the kind of life i wanted, then the search for a better life began...



I am so so grateful to God Almighty for this sha. It is more than a dream come through, I just wish my mum was here to see this, but I know she definitely has a fat as* smile on her face up there .

P.S: I had to leave out a very very crucial detail from this post for privacy reasons, I'll definitely update it once I can. Promise.

Pardon any typos biko. The story long small.

Adeyemmy24:
Ladies and gentlemen! It's PPR!!


If nothing else this journey has thought us patience. As in patience!!

God makes a way where there seems to be no way as long as we are determined.
If you close the door of your mind to a process.... everything remains closed. But if your mind is opened to options and you take out quality time to research and get informations, you will be amazed that you'll discover what you thought never existed. This was our experience with this our US trip. It was indeed a training period for us. We have bonded better as a family and also have been closest to God like never before during this period of stay in the US. We have indeed learnt a lot.
We have seen US in totality this past 2 years and God has been faithful. It's time to go and see, live and prosper in Canada.
This PPR journey has ended in praise.

Thanks to everyone for your support through this journey. Special shout out to Tolfa, future energy, joo2018, nobody, Ayemaybe, o2 and Yuddy2.
I pray God will grant us all our heart desire in Jesus name. Amen!
God bless you all

Let me go and continue monitoring passport return tracker closely

Edmontonlad:
I think I just made a HUGE mistake. I don't know if I can change but here is the mistake.

Instead of choosing Yaba college of technology, I chose Federal Science and Technical College Yaba. I was sure I chose YABATECH.

I just found out while I was trying to pay. I am yet to pay but all I did today in school and waec office, I used the WES reference. I ALREADY called the Transcript person to hold on, that there is a mistake in the reference number.

Can I cancel this WES application, open another one with my second email and do the right thing?

Please i need your suggestions. I am ready to return to waec office tomorrow to change the envelope and forms that has the WES reference number I generated today.

Dare002:
ANYBODY, EVERYBODY

Before you start writing at all, plan/think on paper.
Write out your points for each side and note which you are better equipped to support or be against.

Now the essay;

Introduction:
Your intro needn't be long but must be captivating. What you are trying to achieve is get the attention of the marker.
If you can get the marker's interest at this point, you are most likely to get a good grade.
Here's how I think you could do that. However precise your intro is make an opinion. Let the marker know which side of the argument you are. Particularly for essays that ask you to speak for or against.

Paragraphs:
Each paragraph must carry a view point. A good number of paragraphs shud suffice to argue your points. I wouldn't go more than 3-4 though.

Use Connectives:
These are words that help link your thoughts. E.g However, yet, on the other hand, therefore, furthermore, although etc. When you use these words, you help the marker focus on your main ideas. Although, connectives like first, second are too basic. I wouldn't use them.

Share a view on the other side:
This I learnt while preparing for Toefl.
When you are done arguing your points in about 3 paragraphs. Let your 4th paragraph say a few thing about the other side of the argument. Say you are writing about early marriage.
Let's assume you are arguing for, you can also say something like
On the other hand, when people marry late they tend to be ready and are better mature to handle issues when they arise. This however is not enough point to say marriage at old age is better
But at this point remember that isn't ur position and also counter it in a way.
The reason you have to counter it immediate is so you let the marker know your view point is better.

Conclusion:
Your conclusion should summarise your paragraphs.
Sometimes a single word that encapsulates your thought is enough for summary.

johnnybravo1990:
I wish I could, but any general advice will not do much good. Every person’s writing inadequacies are unique, and each person needs a personal tutor to groom them, by the tutor reviewing their writing samples. However, you need to be sure your tutor is good in writing.

xtosync:
Yeah. Thanks guys for the assistance. 2282 kinda fits into my early day running the biz (2008 - 2012). More recently (2013 - date) 0651 or 0621 or 1211 fits somehow into my current status. I am still undecided yet.

I don't know if it is right using two NOC codes on a self employment.

Ifeoma77:
You're still asking queshon??
Official ministry website indeed
I feel insulted by the laziness and olodoness of these scammers. You're supposed to be trying to trick me out of hard earned cash, make the freaking scam believable at the very least, put in some thought and build a magnificent phishing website and most importantly, try to sound bloody official! What Canadian official press release will state; 'All expenses of the file are paid, what's you waiting for'

Topsmamen:
Nice one bro!

Anikulapu:
The word “it’s not true “sounds like you work for the examination body of IELTS or IRCC . From the beginning I stated it worked for me I don’t know of you. We all can only offer help with what worked for us. No one on this tread determines the outcome of anyone’s results only GOD can. I rest my case.

Sufisunni:
Below is a screenshot which shows the worst form of discriminations in any developed world happening in Canada. Africa immigrants are the worst paid. I can't imagine that even south and central Americans are better paid than African immigrants. Canadians want only USA and Europeans citizens. My question, where is the equality we are being told exist in Canada? Or it only exist on paper and media in order to bring in university educated African immigrants to work in production and hard labour.

Skilled immigrants wasting their talents in Canada.

Educated immigrants stuck in survival jobs. An immigrant professor with degree from University of Minnesota working as a security guard. A report "the unemployment rate for these immigrants was four times that of similarly educated Canadian-born residents"

What about second and third generation black Canadians. Black Canadians both educated and uneducated have double or more unemployment rate as compared to white Canadians.

Babyvet:
I agree with you. When she gets to Canada she will learn about the Canadian experience requirement for jobs . That to me is another form of discrimination. The article below talks about incomes for Canadian immigrants from different part of the world.
