I'd respond to your post in a bit, but if you read through the thread, you'd find very good tips shared by others. Cochtrane, GlitteringStar, Perks, and Osemigho are a few I can pick off heart. Skim through their posts to look for the specific tips and you'd be well empowered.

You can as well mail lwrs9999@gmail.com requesting for study pack.

is it possible to help my spouse pick up result(ielts TRF) at British Council office and also help my spouse request a EOR(remark). The result is LRWS-6.0,6.0,7,7. Thanks.

schules:
lol, no be only you oooo. i open british council page for one side for work. God help us ooooo

@schules, I just want to ask, did you fill a "name update form" either at the speaking test or on the main exam date. I'm thinking this could be the reason for the delay maybe?

Kontagious:
I concur. My mind no even de work today just because of this result, I must have tried checking like a 100 times within the last hour. I'm loosing my cool.

travelpoint:
You can apply because I did applied for my wife last year while we were visiting Philadelphia through their new York embassy. The only problem I see in your case is that your travel date is not now. Your travel date is still next year, that means you have plenty time to apply from your home country when you get back to naija. In my own case, we applied 3 days after we got to US because we have to visit Canada that same month. Application approved

@travelpoint, seems like we can learn a lot from your experience. Applying from the US, how were you able to proof home ties? How did you sort POF? Did you arrange some documents you need and take with you when leaving for the US? Thanks for your time.

travelpoint:
160 pages of statement of accounts, you must be kidding me. Only used 5 pages of 6 months bank statement to get 5 years visa

@travelpoint, how were you able to reflect all transactions covered within those 6-months with just 5 pages? Thank you.

@joanna25 @canadianfly..can u please just quit already... E don do.... U dont really have to always have the last word... Just ignore.. And @joanna25...let it be and quit acting like children.. Haba...

@deeore, I'm a bit confused by the bolded. Some say its London, ON while some say its London, UK. Which one is indeed CORRECT please?

[quote author=manlikegb post=60319005]Ok, thank you very much for your time, I’ll like to add that;

1. She had a complete 1yr work experience at a different company PRIOR to joining this current company where she’s been working for the 2yr & 8months. Is it possible to combine both to make up for 3yrs and of course claim full points?

I know that using the CRS TOOL, it has to be in a single occupation. A friend said for EE pool, it doesn’t have to be a single occupation only. I just want clarity, thanks.

2. Her sibling got married to a Canada PR holder in Nigeria earlier this year but is yet to finalise paperworks(still processing) to go be with the spouse in Canada. Since the spouse(in Canada) is already a sister-in-law, is it possible to claim the "family in Canada” 15points using her? Pls take a look at the attached.




@canadianfly, what is your take on question 2 above? After reading your old comment quoted below, I just thought maybe you may have someone from the zillion friends of yours who have dealt with the kind of situation before. Thanks.

"Let me answer your 2nd question. I have a zillion Canadian citizen friends in Canada but it is illegal to deceive CIC. And you will have to prove it by documentation, birth certificates with both your parents names on there. Besides if the relative is not a blood relation, I.e. Mother, father, sibling...forget it. Except you want to go the PNP route where you get points for having a relative living in that province".

Yooku:
Who was it who said "mental gymnastics" ?

Hmm, leave me o. Information is key o,

cochtrane:
There are a number of blogs which discuss this. On IELTS site you'll find the below, which is available at this link https://www.ielts.org/about-the-test/how-we-develop-the-test

@cochtrane, you're too much bro. Thanks Thanks.

MummyJaygirls:
Yes u can combine years from different jobs and yes u can claim points from ur in-law as long as she's willing to provide appropriate docs and proof of relationship

Thanks @MummyJaygirls, I appreciate.

cochtrane:
Don't worry, you'll be fine. IELTS adjust scores for difficulty. If they do and you perform well, you'll score high enough.

@cochtrane, thanks for your response to my post earlier. Somehow I couldn't get to quote you back on the same post to thank you, don't know why it didn't show the regular(quote,like,share)- strange.

Anyways, referring to the bold statement above, you're the second person I'm hearing/reading that from. Is there a link to where I can find this info online? Thanks.

Blackbuddy:
Hi, as just stated in response to you, that's less than 3 years. You must have 36 months of work experience or more to claim points for 3 years.

Ok, thank you very much for your time, I’ll like to add that;

2years and 8months is definitely not 3 years! !

@40manlappy, @blackbuddy, @cochtrane, @boldinc, @MummyJaygirls, @DereI, @bigfido, and everyone.

Please help with this - For someone who has worked at a SINGLE company for 2years and 8months, is that enough to claim points for 3yrs work experience OR does it have to be a WHOLE 3yrs, i.e full 36month to be able to claim points for 3yrs?

Thanks for your help.

adeivie:
please I finished from Lautech but I only have my statement of result. Can I send only the statement of result to wes for evaluation

@adeivie, I don't think so. You will need to have Lautech send ur transcript to WES, while you are personally required to send a photocopy of your certificate to WES. Its worth noting that you can make use of online free fax option to send this(certificate) to WES. I've never read it anywhere that a Statement of Result is acceptable.

Dear VO(AbujaNIV),

I paid visa fees with cash at GTBank and I’ve just submitted our(me&wife) DS-160 application and went on to the appointment site. Since I have a previous profile used to schedule our appointment in 2015, I just edited the information with the new Application ID, answered the questions, input the receipt no from recent GTB visa fee payment, and we both are qualified for Interview Waiver Program(dropbox).

However, on our dropbox confirmation letter, I noticed that the UID numbers is the same as the ones we used in 2015 to obtain our expiring visas. Although the receipt no from the visa payment I made few days ago is also listed, I am a bit concerned as to why the UID is the same as the old one?

Please enlighten me VO, incase this is a mistake on my part and there’s any step I need to take to rectify this before I submt at DHL.

Thanks always.

balogunsam:
Thank you so so very much for your input. I will run with this information and also try to see what else i can come up with myself and drop updates here so it can help folks who may find themselves in similar circumstances in the future.

Thank you so so much once again!

@balogunsam, I have a similar profile to yours and I'm confused if 'Self employed' means I'm not eligible to partake in the Express Entry FSWP. Please let's share ideas, opinions and findings. Thanks for your time.

jelmusboy:
Thank God, WES credentials evaluation (Nigeria and UK) completed within 3 months. Despite LAUTECH strike, I got my transcript verified. Na who know who I use though.

Please, does anyone know Province I can get a job or nomination as a Medical Laboratory Technologist? Your response will be highly appreciated.

@jelmusboy, must be one big relief to get your verification done even with the ongoing strike. I would like to ask you a thing or two in that regards as I am stuck in the situation as well. Can you PLEASE send me your phone number to my email: manlikegb@gmail.com

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

@Toqunbur, I sent you a message to your email(got it from one of ur previous posts). Its about WES verification. Kindly respond bro. God bless.

NeeYoh:
FYI: You can send your academic transcript photocopy via fax to WES (No need for courier or Postal service). It's easier and cost effective also. Just download a fax app from Google playstore or Apple app store, buy credit units for sending fax document, get WES fax no from wes.org, include your WES Ref no in the cover note and document. Make sure the document is in black and white NOT coloured and less than 20mb. After sending the document, your document should be received and accepted by WES latest the following day.

@NeeYoh, referring the bolded statement above, is it compulsory to have the document in black and white? Reason I am asking is because I already have a scanned copy of my degree certificate(coloured) and I intend to just upload it and send to WES through free fax services online. Please guide me with your knowledge.

2. Also, how do I include my WES Reference number with the degree certificate using the fax route?
3. Assuming I made a photocopy of my certificate, is it advisable and acceptable to use a pen to write my WES Reference boldly on it?
4. Would it be sufficient to type my Reference No in the the "Fax message" column.

Thanks for your time.

Algbenguze:
Finally guys, I got my IELTS results at BC office today and unfortunately nothing to celebrate at all after 2 attempts. I'm really really deflated right now but I'll keep pushing.

1st Attempt 3/11/16: LRSW 8.5, 6.5, 8.5, 7.5
2nd Attempt 8/07/17: LRSW 8, 6.5, 8, 7.5

@Algbenguze, sorry to hear about your result. I wish you the very best in your next sitting. I quote you that not even a disappointing 2nd,3rd,4th try is good enough to discourage anyone. All the best.

However, could you share any tips or ideas on how to get study materials and prepare for the exam? I have checked BC sample tests, but I feel I need many more to practice with over and over. Thanks for your help.

perks:
Guys IELTS has been vaporised
LRWS: 9,9,7.5,8. Their fada!!!

CRS=467

IQAS pls hurry up ooooo. Feeling like, Michael Phelps now. Can't wait to take a dive into d pool.

Abeg can I sell my excess points?

@Babachi...congrats Bro. At dis rate I may spend Christmas in Calgary.

@perks, this is an awesome result, congrats. Please how did you prepare for the ielts exam? Any useful tips please, thanks.

Ehrnie:
Oh sure...you are qualified even though you are out of work at the moment.

All the best!

Thanks for your reply @Ehrnie.

One more question though, My wife's brother recently got married to his fiancee(she lives in Canada, came to Nigeria for the wedding) that I believe is a PR or Citizen, do you think this counts for additional points for us in the EE pool where it was asked if we have any family living in Canada? My wife is the primary applicant and our estimated CRS score is below 400. Thanks for your time.

Quick question house, For someone that recently quit his occupation(about 6months ago), but had had about 3yrs continuous work experience before quitting, is this person still qualified for FSWP and the Express Entry Pool?

Thanks your your help.

chybaz:
Pg cert and pg diploma is basically same.

In canny , you can get a good job with pg cert. The system in canny isn't degree based like u.s. what matters is to be good in what you do.


And yes if you want to further. You can get an msc with 3rd class and pgd.

@chybaz, msc with 3rd class really possible? Any reference in terms of School and course please? Thanks a lot.
