I was also the custodian of the remote control with legs raised up on a footstool with toothpick in my mouth.
Lol...Chairman


I know some Nigerian men might call me sisi or whatever name. I don't mind, I would rather have my family together than let ego split the family. A family achieves more when they are together than doing it alone. The kids would be better for it too.[/quote]I appreciate this point u made bros, definitely something has got to give from both party to sustain a marriage bond.

Are you claiming points for the trade? if yes, then add it to ur EE profile. If no, add only the requisite work experience and NOC & wait till you get ITA then MAKE SURE you add it in personal history.
Cheers

Emerald86:
Not for WES, I evaluated my master's already, was wondering if I could mention that as a vocational trade while filling an EE profile

All the best thru the rest of the process

Thanks to everyone that encouraged me not to give up. I am very grateful.

New CRS is 476..Ese Baba

Hi,
As long as you have a one and same person affidavit, you should be fine.
You can send/upload the affidavit to WES, although your ECA report will still state that there is some disparity in your names blah blah blah.
Post ITA, remember to attach the affidavit and an LOE explaining that your name was used interchangeably so there is no confusion.
Cheers

Hello, everyone, I am having a name issue as well. However, I am not married yet. Its just that inconsistency can be noticed in my certificates. I finished both my b.tech and m.tech from the same university however, both certificates bear different but similar NAMES. For instance, the surname is consistent but both middle and first names are changing and its all this Oluwa and Olu, being interchanged for both yoruba names I have. Although I have done affidavit and confirmation of name to indicate I bear all the names, but do you think that if I send those certificates to WES, I will not have any issues? Despite all of this my passport name is consistent with the WES application name though. Thank you

Hi,
The more pertinent question is will she be able to process the transcript for an unapproved results?
I seriously doubt though. If she can get her transcript ready and sent, then yes there's a chance she can evaluate it.

FarmGang:
Hello and thanks for this thread. Its been really helpful.

Please what will you do in this case:
A friend has completed her MSc since last year in UI. But the senate has not yet sat to approve the results.
Can she still evaluate for the MSc with WES?

Depends on the choice of words in the letter I think, there are at least two persons that have used it successfully recently on NL.

mumnadine:
i don’t think they will accept to whom it may concern,mine wasn’t accepted anyway,,

There's a new adjustment WES made recently I noticed, you can upload your certificate/SoR during application on their website.
That eliminates the need to fax I think

ambo1:
Please try and be explicit. Do you mean your credentials? Are you evaluating for IRCC or for academics/University.

If the former is the case, you have to approach your University to send your transcripts to Wes through a courier service.

Certificates not transcripts can also be faxed to Wes through their address on their website.

Best to use WES contact form on their website and inform them of the changes you want to make. They will advice you accordingly.
Cheers

Slimmarshall007:
Guys,
I am having a slight issue. I included my AAT to be evaluated by WES by mistakenly chose ABWA as the issuing body.

Please i dont know what to do.

Kindly help me out here

Wrong...for immigration you only need your highest degree. Which is MSc, saves u needless time and money chasing after BSc transcript.
This is 2020.
Cheers

opeyemi2012:
It's better to evaluate both your Bachelor and Master degree.

Hi,
What you need for IRCC/Immigration is a document-by-document evaluation, you can sign-in to your previous account and choose upgrade my report option or u can use the WES contact form and inform them of your desire to do a D-to-D evaluation. There's some additional charges, but it spares you having to send transcript all over. Cheers

pjosh1:
Good day everyone
I am planning on entering the express entry pool and I noticed I’ll need WES ECA evaluation report. The issue here is I already have a WES course by course report which I did when I was applying for masters in Canada and I don’t know if it will be accepted for use in EE. I have googled and checked how to covert from course by course to document by document and I couldn’t see anything. The only option on WES website is converting from ECA to course by course. Can I still go ahead and use my Course by course evaluation for EE?

Thanks �

Hi,

For reference letter, what some persons do is to use their current name and put the maiden name in bracket e.g This is to certify that Mary Ajayi (Nee Alade) is an employee of...

For POF there is a marriage certificate that shows her maiden name and that she married u, to sleep well at night you can add an affidavit that shows name change upon marriage.
IRCC does not expect u change bank accounts because you got married, all that is needed is a proof that the marriage actually happened.

No too worry yourself pls, afterall Common-law partners only need show address that they have been staying together & still get PPR.
Cheers

olayinkareal1:
Thanks so much, I was actually concerned about her maiden name which might appear on her reference letter and on the POF and thought it could be an issue.

I dont think that will be an issue at this stage, WES evaluation will show the 2017 on your certificate.
However, moving forward when filling your EE profile try and be consistent.
If your certificate shows 2017, and WES evaluation shows 2017. Then fill 2017 even if you defended your thesis in 2016.
The school awarded the honors/degree in 2017.

newbie4c:
Good evening everyone. Please, I need a clarification. I finished my master's degree in 2016 but 2017 is on my certificate. I put 2016 on WES for evaluation and I have submitted. Will there be any issue regarding this, please?

That you are a pharmacist and asking this question is telling as you undoubtedly should have learnt pharmacy is a professional course/career....to practice legitimately in Nigeria you need a license from the Nigeria pharmacy council.

To practice anywhere else in the world you need the licence from the pharmacy council of that country too e.g Canada....you will write licensing exams and hopefully pass before you can practice professionally.
Cheers

flyingpig:
Hi guys,

Can a Nigerian trained Pharmacist practise Pharmacy in Canada?

Or is this certificate a shait?

Hi,
You and your spouse evaluate the highest degree ONLY (Msc) to gain maximum points.

Gratefulheart17:
Good day everyone,
Please I have BSc (Uniport), Foundation/PreMasters (UK) , MSc (UK)
Please which of them should I evaluate?
Also, does my spouse need to evaluate his BSc and MSc or it's okay if he does just ielts?

Hi,
I noticed u said u have HND. You should be the PA being younger(30), and evaluate your ND and HND to get 2 or more certificate. Your husband should evaluate his Bsc too.
Both of you should focus on getting the highest from each module of IELTS(CLB10), especially you.
With your 3 years experience your CRS will be 470 if you both get a CLB10. You stand a fair chance with 470 I think compared with 395.
Cheers

BibiKK:
Hello, I salute all gurus in the house.

My spouses Noc (2233 Industrial Engineering) needs certification and he doesn't have it

1. How does not having certification affect one's application? Could it actually stop provinces from having interest in one's application?

2. How can one go about getting certified ?

3. Please I need information on provinces we could apply to with the following info:

Noc 2233 Industrial Engineering/5years work experience/ crs score 375/ 35years
Noc 1241 Admin Assistance/3years work experience/crs score 395/30 years

Thanks

Hi,

1) Yes

2) Check their website there is a "request for remark" interface, u will download the EOR form fill, go back to the website and upload the filled form.
You will pay online/bank and attach evidence of payment...you will get email notification to acknowledge ur request. Cheers
P.S:
No need to go to their office.

Allylic:
Hi everyone,

1)Please can one apply for a IELTS remark(MOD) while waiting for the hard copy of the result.

2)What are the requirements for the remark

I agree with Khalil...
I know someone else who did this...its sometimes interestingly called "One and the same person affidavit ". A deposition stating that ur name can appear in different arrangements but that you are the same person. The court guys or notary public know the format.
Cheers

kingkhalil:
I agree with you. Juxtaposed First and Middle name a lot on my documents, and all i had to do was Depose to an Affidavit explaining the discrepancy, as well as do the LOE. Got my PPR

No. It either stays unchanged or increases. I'd wager that speaking may increase by 0.5, just take a leap of faith sister and perhaps this mountain will move.

Marykelly:
Okay thanks, but is it possible to get a lower score. I’m kind of scared of remarking writing.

Congratulations ma, remark both S & W as @ednut advised and stay hopeful. All the best

Marykelly:
Good morning everyone, so I just checked my IELTS I had LRWS 9,8.5,7,7. Is it advisable I apply for a remark for my speaking?

Congratulations mate...this is a good result

Olamiikunle:
Good morning all...
My first time commenting despite every day follow up.
Just got my IELTS result.
LRWS- 9, 8.5, 7, 8
I was super scared of writing because i did not have time to check for errors and was super nervous while writing. I even changed "Yours Faithfully" to "Yours Faithfuly" after convincing myself it is supposed to be single L. But i was confident of paraphrasing, answering all task,
And success in all our canny journey.
Happy weekend everyone

Yes Hantie
Not ghost worker ooo

ndidibabe:
"In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada does your spouse/common-law partner have?" Does this mean the number of years he has worked in Canada as a skilled worker?

His webform report said security background verification have not yet initiated na....so he still has one to go
Eligibility passed/completed just means he met the minimum requirement (Ielts, eca, age, etc)

kingkhalil:
You are good to go, it seems. Congratulations are in order!

Hi boss,

Biko 2.30pm which time zone? & Please what's the number to get the plug? Thank you very much

That's series 1-14..Don't sell what is free.

Give freely, for freely you also received....lol

DoubleAA:
You definitely need to prepare with the Cambridge Practice Tests For IELTS to familiarize yourself with the exam questions which can be very tricky. I have series (1-14) and I can give you for a token. Chat me on WhatsApp 07062300636. Only serious minded people please

1)Hi, in my opinion, why not aim for 7.5 in writing too so ur CRS can be 471. This is a good score considering recent ITA trends.

2) Yes you will need 3 reference letters since u worked in all 3 companies I think

3) You can start requesting the previous 2 you've left as the letter is supposed to show duration(from 01/01/2010 to 01/01/2011), the third one can be requested just about or when u enter the pool so it can reflect the extra few months that will be inevitably spent on ECA and IELTS.

4) Even domiciliary account(s) that has your name can be used as POF afterall most people submit screenshot of NGN-to-CAD online conversion rate with their NGN POF documents post ITA. No need to convert back to naira if that's ur question.
Cheers mate

Bosspapi:
Hi everyone, I'm quite new here and looking to kickstart the Express Entry process. I've been trying to consume as much information as I can and to be sincere, it's been overwhelming but I never expected less. A bit about me professionally, I'm a Software Developer, with about 5 years experience. I took the simulated CRS assessment/test with an IELTS score of S7.5, L8.5, R8.0, W7. I specified 2 certificates (I intend taking the BCS Certificate for IT). My total score is about 468, I don't know how great this score is, considering I've been told the threshold is getting higher.

I have a couple of questions:

1) How good is the score? How can I boost it any further if it isn't?

2) Experience-wise as a Software Developer I have been a freelancer most of the time especially in the University, but I have worked at 3 different companies in a professional setting/capacity for about 1 year each. Currently at my third company. Considering my assumptions are correct, I'd be needing 3 different reference letter once in the I get ITA, right?

3) Can I start requesting for these reference letters or do they need to be of a specific date range?

4) Also regarding the issue of POF, I don't have anything in Naira or sitting in my bank at the moment, thanks to how the Naira is being constantly devalued. Can I deposit a lump sum into my Nigerian account when the POF is requested?

These questions are in foresight and assuming I get into the pool and subsequently get an ITA. I'm trying as much as possible to start getting the necessary documentation together as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Wrong: MOD remark/EOR is also 15k now.

Rifkiz:
If you are about starting the process, i'd recommend you start with your education evaluation. Then spend the time studying why waiting for it to get to verification before writing your English test.
For IELTS, you have MOD and British. Both are almost the same amount, but the fees for remarking are different.MOD would charge you 42k, while British would ask for 15k.
You would need a passport for this too.
If you don't have one yet, it's not a bad idea to invest in one before writing IELTS

1. Depends on ur proficiency with a computer, are u comfortable when using a computer? Perhaps u use it everyday at work? Is your writing legible? Final decision is urs.

2. ONLY international passport babe

punchyy:
Good day all, please I plan on writing Ielts next month. I would like to know which exam options is preferable that is computer based or the written type.
Also can I use my National ID for means of identification on exam day, I saw some conflicting information somewhere. I would appreciate a kind answer/suggestion.Thank you.

@ kiari he did not say he wants to get it from mfb, he simply said can he use them as a financial institution same way we use regular banks & others. He could have some form of investment with them abi?

kiari:
Asking to get pof from mfb. that's not right as it is not allowed. I already reported it

Some weeks ago, immigration minister addressed this post Convid-19 immigration issue.
His comment was antithetical to the "Indian made news", notice his convincing reasons why immigration will continue post Convid-19.

true that there may be changes or restrictions. But lets wait for ircc or minister of immigration to announce. Not all these Indian made fake posts
