Hello guys, I'm new here. I want to find out all the processes involved In applying for EE. After evaluating my credentials through WES and taking IETLS, is there anything else I would need to do before being able to apply? How much money in total would likely to be spent? Pls assist a sister

Choose your noc and ensure the duties stated on your ref letter matches with the one on your chosen noc. The amount of money you need will depend on how many family members you are going with. If you are married will you be going with the kids n hubby?

Na wa o. When e go reach our turn for those of us wey get 336 CSR. And as person dey old mark dey reduce. Wetin man go do now o.

Keep hope alive. Set your mind around Aug/sept. Now they are dancing back and forth 453 definitely score will drop further. To apply na beans Some people even rejected Ita they cld not get stuff ready, many people outside Canada fall btw 300 and 350. So just get your stuff ready so you won't be caught unaware. Happy swimming

House O...please help o...I paid for my WES since Dec 2014 and my alma mater, UNIBEN, sent my transcript to WES in February 2015. On the 26th of February, I got a VDR mail from WES. I contacted my school early in March and they said that they are yet to receive the mail from WES. I sent a mail to WES on April 1 to WES and they replied on the 6th and said that they have sent a verification mail to UNIBEN on the 26th of February, that I should exercise patience...I am at loss at what to do. Please can some one help me? Advice? Thanks

Go to exams and record rm 39 in uniben to find out if they've got the mail if not then check at the registrars office RM 12. Probably they are yet to sort mails received. Though it take about two weeks for the mail to reach exams and records from the office of the registrar. Good luck

dober:
Please can verification from institution be replied by my institution via email?

Yeah. I requested uniben to reply wes via email and they did. I've received my hardcopy and that of my hub. Its faster and cheaper.

Hi all,
Attention Seniors, does CIC put a call across to your employers or visit your employers for verification purposes.
In a situation where the company is wanding down and may have finally shut down by the time CIC may need a verification, what can I do now or then

Thanks black buddy.

Pls advice
I'd like to be assessed on my current job as a marketing/sales manager. My only
problem is I just got the job just 5mths ago. Though during my Nysc, I worked as a marketing staff with NTA. I can get a ref letter for that . Do you think i can pass for a marketing/sales manager Noc? Though I have a 5 yes experience in retail sales. Marketing manager is more professional :

Blackbuddy:


Hi, fill in both occupational classes but you can only indicate one on the basis of which your application will be assessed.

Hi all,
What if I have worked as a shop manager trainee and then as a sales manager. That's two different Nocs. How do I go about it.

luvluvluv:
I perceive another gr8 thread here...

Pls everyone, I studied engineering in skul, and am currently workin in a bank. Is there any category I can apply for?
Tnx

Its your work experience that counts. If you are in marketing then choose a Noc that is closest to your job description.
Cheers

6th draw is out .. 1637 ITAs and cut off score 453

I want to add my nysc one year experience. If I remember correctly fed govt was paying 9k then while my place of primary assignment paid 2k. My question is in my ref letter shld I state salary of 2k or of 11k?

Much better, we can relate on the same level here. Thanks for the idea

Hello all, I got a maik from Wes notifyn me dat my credentials have been sent to my schl (postgraduate) for verification since 17th of march. When I contacted my person dats d secretary to dean pg schl she sed shes yet to receive it. Probly, it was addressed to d dean and will soon get to her. Its about 9 days already and shes yet to receive it.

1. Was it hard copies Wes use to send for verification or soft tru e-mail.

2. Any body with similar experience? Is dis time interval between Wes sending and Schl receiving norma
Thanx all.

It takes about a week or two before your sch receives it, then another one or two weeks before your school allocates it to the office that will work on it.
My advice - ask your school to reply via email its much faster and cheaper

335 is quite high. Hopefully the scores will drop further for now since job bank is not yet active. I strongly believe it will drop to 300 or even less before it goes up again. Just get in the pool

5th Draw out....Total number of invitations: 1620
Cut off points: 481

Pls advice
1, what if the company I worked for has folded up how do I get ref letter?
2, in my case tho the company still have 2 HR staff carrying out the wanding down process doing skeletal work but my fear is if I get a ref letter the company might fold up completely soon and just in case CIC want to get in touch the company maybe unavailable

Hi all,
Pls do I need employers reference letter to get in the pool?

Third draw cut off score 808, no of ITA, 849.

Was just wondering how Canada employment letter accepted for express entry would look like. Pls share if you have one. Not full info just an idea.
Secondly, what should be the status of the company offering the employment, a multinational, local or a one man biz?
Thirdly, what could be the implication of a job offer to both the employee and the employer.(taxation may start immediately)?
Just wondering. Pls share your opinion

Pls solomonwis can this ielts result fly, listening 6.5, reading 6.0, writing 7.0, speaking 7.0. Overall 6.5

takin35:
Pls house,I have written the IELTS test and this are my scores>R:5.5,S:6.5,W:6. And L:4.5.
Pls I wish to know if I am qualified for canada expess entry.thanks

You need at least 6 pts on each test. So you need to repeat the test.

Thanks solomonwis, I feel encouraged. Hopefully they will be done with PNP and people with job offer sooner than we think. If you remove 600 from the draw score I think there's hope

drealsheggs:
@Anticabal, please can you please help me out on IELTS exams, how difficult it is , what are the success tips to writing the exams, where can i get past question papers that i can use for preparation.....thanks.

Ielts is a simple exam but don't underrate it. Prepare as much as you can. There are lots of practice questions online and u can also get from this forum at request. For the speaking you can subscribe to ielts-blog for likely questions. Speaking questions can be repeated. You can practice by speaking to yourself or writing your thoughts down. Dont give straight answers. Always give reasons or description for your answers. For the listening, try to follow the story don't get lost. Skip anyone you did not hear just try not to get lost. For the writing, just be good with descriptive letter and argumentative essay. That's often the writing questions. The reading is the toughest. Do a lot of practice so you really understand what is expected.
Above all practice practice practice.
Goodluck

please I need clarifications as I would want to apply for EE to canada....am a 35 year old lawyer with 10 yrs work experience though not law related..will wrap up my Masters in Law this year...married with 3 kids...am I qualified to apply cos I learnt (unconfirmed) lawyers couldn't apply again...how much would I need and how long will the process take...will appreciate your good response,all.

Under express entry occupation is not specified. Anyone can apply. Whatever experience you claim to have just make sure it matches with the duties listed on the Canada occupation Noc you choose.

wahabcoal:
I already got my transcript evaluated by WES USA, can I use same report for WES Canada.?
I can't imagine going through the stress of obtaining my transcript from ekiti again, so frustrating.

If you already have wes evaluation then you are OK.whether u s or Canada it's same body. Just make sure its within the time frame; five yrs

Vek2015:
Hello People,

I'm new here. I would like to know if i need to submit more than one credential(BSc & Masters) with WES for verification. Would there be any advantage if i verify the two credentials.

If you have both then its OK. Just that the highest qualification kind of make the others obsolete.

Hello and congratulations to all the seniors in the house. For those apply for express entry more grease to your elbow.
Pls am a bit confused about my job experience. I would like to get opinions. My highest qualification is a masters in business administration. But my work experience, is as a retail sales executive for about 3.5 yes. My education qualification would put me in Noc o. I do not know which Noc my work experience place me on. Moreover, when I checked the education qualification for retail sales in Canada occupation Noc , its a sec sch cert. Pls your views.

solomonwis:
SINP (Saskatchewan Immigrant Provincial Nominee Program) has reached its cap for the year 2015 within the first 1 hour. Prospective applicants can look towards other provinces for nomination.

This is kind of discouraging. Are you sure anyone without PNP and a job offer will ever make EE

thanks alot solomonwis. i just noticed that Saskatchewan nominee program does not require evaluation of credentials and their clb level is lower than that of the fswp. if one is nomitated does with a province requirement does one still need to meet the federal requirement to be in the pool? hope my question is clear
