I sent an email to NC-NOC-CNP-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca requesting for advise on my NOC classification and apparently that email is not officially used anymore. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

On another note, can anyone who had his or her IELTS on the 14th please comment on their experience. In my own case, I think it went exceptionally well. I blasted the LRW part of it. Sure of the max points there. I have concerns about my S though which I had on the day before. Was a bit nervous in the early stages but picked up as things went on. Can't blame myself though, it's been a while since I last wrote an exam. As such, I was a bit rusty.

eyoiba:
Please send me a PM.

Done.

DatechMan:
OAU charge a verification fee of 2.5k or so

I don't even know who to contact. And travelling to OAU is not an option for now. I'm so pissed and confused right now

DatechMan:
OAU charge a verification fee of 2.5k or so

WES said they have contacted OAU for verification. I just wanna make sure that whomsoever it was sent to can respond to WES ASAP

Kontagious:
On a very light note... You see something, you de find something. Yoruba translation might make sense

I get your drift. I will be careful going forward. Thanks.

mzjennypher:
@Mavor you can contact Akeem on 08077112332, tho i didnt use wes i am using iqas and so far he has been so helpful.

Thanks. Please who is he exactly?

THIS MESSAGE IS ADDRESSED SPECIFICALLY TO OAU ILE-IFE GRADUATES:

I got a message from WES saying that "photocopies of your documents have been sent to Obafemi Awolowo University for verification and that your file has been placed on hold until we receive their written response."

Who from Ife went through this and how were you able to facilitate a speedy verification response from the school?

Thanks.

does anyone have an unlocked 4g modem for sale in Lagos?

This thread was stale this year. Like people no play Fifa 17 ni?? Anyway on to Fifa 18 thread here -->https://www.nairaland.com/4081971/official-fifa-18-thread-ps4

It begins again!!! Already downloaded my Fifa 18 Icon Edition for the PS4.

Below review is culled from http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/fifa-18


FIFA 18 is the best FIFA game ever made. It’s that simple. I cannot believe the huge leap the series has seen in one year. This entry is streets ahead of FIFA 17, let alone any that came before that. The football on the pitch is more fluid, passing is improved, close control better, and we finally have upgrades to the game’s offline modes. Throw all that in with Ultimate Team’s continued brilliance, another engaging story in The Journey: Hunter Returns and the Frostbite engine’s beauty, I don’t think we could ask for much more.

EA Sports deserves huge credit for the journey it has undertaken with FIFA. Starting off at the launch of the current generation of consoles with the ill-fated Ignite Engine, each year it was clear what the team was trying to implement. At times, the baby steps fixed some areas, while breaking others, like when heading became so overpowered for big men, many matches became a David Moyes cross-fest. Thankfully, crosses were broken at the same time, too, meaning there was some bastardised form of perfect imbalance.

Then it was the turn of defending, with a way more advanced system meaning you actually had to think when you didn’t have the ball. Unfortunately, because defence was overhauled in one year, attacking felt awful, as that had to be fixed the following year. But now, here we are, and all those pieces have finally come together to form a beautiful picture. It’s hard to not admire the end result when the gameplay is this good.

One huge complaint year-on-year has been that you’ll be dispossessed, concede a goal or commit an inexplicable error because your player is still finishing the last action. FIFA’s stilted and locked animations meant the football could feel slow, with mistakes often not your fault. You also had to learn to beat the system, and had to play “FIFA” football, gamifying the real sport. Now, EA has unlocked animations, meaning everything is so much smoother, faster and more responsive, and significantly closer to the games you watch on the telly.

Shielding the ball feels a much more viable option, as players don’t act like they’re turning around a council estate when spinning, they actually make sharp moves when dribbling. Sprinting is much better, as you can make intricate little touches to move between defenders, rather than knocking the ball yards ahead and stupidly losing it.

Pace also now (finally) plays a factor. Mbappe will comfortably beat most centre backs in a foot race, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are lethal on United’s flanks. If your defence lacks speed, you better not play a high line.

The Manager career mode has received one major new feature and it is significant enough to provide it with a huge breath of fresh air. During the transfer window you can now engage in real-time transfer negotiations with other managers. Choosing to negotiate the purchase of a player will see their manager enter your office, and you can submit bids, negotiate the fee, trade a player, all done as a back and forth cutscene. It’s a bit like a Mass Effect conversation, though with mute characters. It’s a great system that also occurs during contract renewals. It just adds further to the feel of being a management sim.

We’ve also got a new story in The Journey: Hunter Returns this year which is surprisingly gritty. Without spoiling too much, Alex Hunter is riding high off the back of his heroics last season, and talk of a big money move abroad starts to rise. However, the move doesn’t go as planned, meaning Alex has to rebuild his career and almost start from scratch. The darker tone of the story is surprisingly strong. You can also now customise Alex’s hairstyle, clothes, tattoos and boots, and there’s also new objectives in each chapter which earn different rewards, from more social media followers to new tattoo designs.

Ultimate Team has also continued its utter dominance with much more fanfare around the card-collecting, making getting those upper echelon players in packs feel that much more rewarding. Now, when a top-level player is found in a pack, they come out to fireworks and even walk on-screen celebrating the fact they’re now part of your team. No doubt this is to play into the YouTube pack opening scene, which generates an absurd amount of views for popular personalities, but it still felt great when I got Sergio Aguero and he looked delighted to join MY team

There’s also a great new offline mode called Squad Battles, which is perfect for those offput by competing online against other players for coins. Similar to Forza’s Drivatar feature, players can take on other players’ squads, controller by AI, to earn points over the course of a week. Points are awarded based on the quality of the opposition and the difficulty level you select, and you’ll be ranked against every other player’s scores in the mode at the end of the week, unlocking rewards in specific tiers. It’s a great feature added to an already superb mode.

However, for as much evolution as there is, there are still some areas which are in need of an update. Custom tactics, for example are the same as they’ve always been. It’d be nice if EA adopted a Konami-style presentation to these and brought in more modern strategies like Gegenpress and attacking full backs. With the rapid evolution of real football, these are starting to feel ancient.

Defending, while continuing to evolve and become more refined, is becoming increasingly complex. For fans who return year-on-year, this is fine after the initial learning curve, but I have no idea how newcomers adapt to the approach of jockeying the ball carrier and hitting tackle at the exact correct moment to win the ball. PES is so basic by comparison, and I personally prefer FIFA’s depth, but there needs to be a middle ground.

VERDICT

FIFA 18 is simply magnificent. Streets ahead of what came before, and continuing its dominance over its rivals, EA has done a superb job. With huge improvements across the board, this is the game FIFA fans have waited five years for. While the offline offering may continue to lack the depth of NBA 2K18, but the continued improvements each year have culminated in a brilliant game this year.

Pros - The best football in the series to date
Gorgeous graphics with amazing lighting detail
Ultimate Team is still the best mode in sports games
New negotiations in career are superb

Cons - Career mode improvements may not go far enough for some

Guys please I need your advise. So I'm new to this Canada immigration thing. I have already applied via WES for a Transcript & B.SC certificate review. I have already paid WES and my school has sent the transcript and a copy of my B.Sc cert. I have IELTS scheduled for 14th Oct.

My question to you all is this; (1) What next should I do? What are the next steps in the process? How do I initiate the actual application process with Immigration Canada? Note that I am doing this on my own without using any immigration lawyer or 3rd party. (2) How long does it take WES complete their evaluation and what next is WES meant to do? Also please explain some of the immigration lingua I see on this thread - ITA, AOR, CSE, CIC, PPR, etc.

Thanks.

Evaberry:
Ladies take this advise seriously


1. DONT ever ask a guy out


2. Don't ever tell a guy you love/like him.


Asking a guy out never ends well

It's women like you who don't think it's right for a man to know you love him, while in a relationship. Women like you always want to have the upper hand in a relationship and don't believe in meeting your man half way. May God never send your kind of woman my way!

Vaseline crew!!! Where art thou?

shinarlaura:
Lol... not that kind na

it's the intent that counts. going into the bush, facing off hyenas, lions and vipers. to dig up that hibiscus for you.

kennygee:
I scored 5 over 6!

Flowers will wither and die but my belly will be full.

I hate IPhones

I cherish cards, I have all the cards I've ever gotten in my life.

I love getaways

I love some peace and quiet, I'll pick a picnic over the noise and meaningless chatter in a club.

ayam wife hunting ooo

shinarlaura:
Exactly

try tropical flowers like hibiscus

tziz:
Ur just realising this?
I have a white DS4 I bought for 15k that worked only for 2 days, It's currently collecting dust in my drawer.

Na wa!!!

It's like we now have fake pads in the market. Kai!

can anyone help me fix a PS4 dualshock 4 pad? stopped charging since last night. very pissed right now cos it's a few months old.I'm island based.

Abby2017:
If you have contact in your school, please don't bother waiting, just do the personal followup. ETX won't do anything, at least from my experience and what others have posted here. Your transcript and ECA might even be ready in that 1 month.

Noted. Thanks.

hayor2014:
I personally advise you go direct,a colleague used them,after paying am amount I found ridiculous,transcript could not be obtained,he traveled some days back to get the transcript done himself,waste of time and double money spent,was on it for more that the months with no luck,and IELTS has been ready all this while

I have already made the order through them last week. I will give them one month. Thanks for the heads up though.

MummyJaygirls:
Sept 30 isn't even on the list again

i was having that problem last week with sept 30

abiriba:
Hello House,
Please the below message appears on the britich councli website when i tried to register for an ielts test. Who do i I complete the registration please?

Oooops! An error has occurred that we didn't anticipate, for which we apologise. Fortunately, the error has been logged for our techie people to investigate.

you are trying to register on sept 30 right? there is a problem with that on BC site. I advise you try the next available date.

Raconteur14:
I believe their service is dependent on the school involved and how well integrated the school is with them. However, for my experience with OAU, after paying 25k to ETX, they were almost utterly useless to me. I ended up using my "source" inside exams and records to ensure that the transcript was sent to WES early and that verification was done promptly.

Hmmm...This is disturbing news. The school in question is OAU as well. Is there a way I can contact you privately please? Thanks.

Anyone familiar with using etx-ng.com for sending transcript to WES? What was your experience like? Thanks in advance.

Canadianfly:
Eziokwu? How did you come by this knowledge?

"To the best of my knowledge" implies that I may be right or wrong. Then again, I don't need to be explaining this to you now do I?
