What of us that are living far from Lagos? How do we resolve our own? My speaking test date has not been sent to me yet. Imagine my apprehension now. I contacted one of their staff who promised to help but nothing has come up till now. Please can anyone help out.
Where do you reside? When/where is your test date/center? When did you make payment?

Hello all,
I want to kindly ask if one can base his application for EE solely on NYSC one year work experience. Thanks for your reply
If the employer will issue you a reference letter in that regard, you may use it and vice versa

Hello guys,i currently have the required POF in my zenith account which i got via different business...I intend to enter the pool in July.I am sure of getting an ITA as myslf and spouse points combined is 480 .However,my annual salary cant justify that amount..Can i put the money in treasury bills right now to use as POF later...Hope i wont be asked for payslip and all..Thanks
If the amount you intend to invest in T-bills is equal to or greater than the minimum required amount of PoF for you and spouse, then you are good to go. If you have extra money after that, better for you still. If you try to maintain a steady debit and credit flow on the account from now till you enter the pool (after your intended investment), no eyebrows would be raised.

Good Day Gurus in the house.

I have a bit of a challenge, I had initially used the CRS tool to calculate my score and it was 419. I decided to enter the pool with the score while try to get a pnp. On creating my profile now, the total score has reduced to 394. Has anyone ever experienced such and what was done.

Please help a sister.

Thanks.
Difference is 25 points. Likely cause would be a mistake in your educational qualification. Check that again.

If you must know Mr. Nigeria, I live "comfortably" here in Lagos, my own home at that but is that all there is to a quality life? Answer is a big, fat NO. I also intend to leave the country and that for the sake of my children's future. I have come to understand that Naija isn't on the right path as a nation. You can be doing well for yourself as a person in biz or career, good for you. I'd want my children to grow up with the right mindset (not a loser's mindset of a 50k apartment living in some obscure location), understand the dignity in labor and enjoy quality living while remaining productive. My dear country would hardly offer these. You love your country, but does your country love you right back?

I love Naija, it is home but I also plan a future too, a big one at that. You'd be joking to think that your well set out plan today would remain feasible in five years in Nigeria with our year on year hyperinflation and terrible governance. Even school fees would've doubled before one graduated. I mentioned something that shook me on another thread - I met a popular Lagos state legislator sitting for IELTS GT sometime in December. That sums it all up I think, if you'd reason it properly.

Bro, stay here (at least I still have my family here too) while we go to grow the population of Nigerians with the right mindset and grooming and we'd be back to make this country great again (if it ever was).

Thank you sir

You are missing something. In America nobody buys a new car with cash, they make a payment plan for them where they make payment of $500 monthly for six years before they can claim full ownership of th vehicle. While in Nigeria we pay cash, those tokunbo flooded vehicles were all bought with millions. This is something 90% of Americans are incapable of. When you factor in cost of shipping, buying, clearing and profits added by the car dealer you will find out Nigeria are paying more to own a car than Americans. Most brand new cars here cost between 15million-25million naira so 10,000 is a huge number when you consider most were bought with cash

1st ECA - WES (still uncompleted as I speak as that institution formerly known as Ogun State University refused to send transcript)

1st EE Profile - 27 Mar, 2017
2nd EE Profile - 12 Apr, 2017 (recreated to attract Ontario NOIs which were being released that week. Ontario had requested that we should recreate our profiles)

Opotuniti:
Hello everyone,
I have a complicated case, please help. Got ITA last week.
My concern is my Work experience & proof of funds. My NOC for EE was 1215 - Supervisor Supply Chain, tracking & Scheduling of which I have 5years experience in. but I lost my job January 2017 & became self employed since then, it is my company and it is registered.

My question is this, do I need to submit references for my self employed job? Most of the jobs I did during this self employed period were not documented, (they were german-german) so I may not be able to get bank references, invoices & transaction receipts etc to upload online on my profile. If I leave it out and base my ITA document work references on my NOC selection for ITA alone, is there any implication in doing that? Meanwhile, my EE profile reads my 1year self employed job and the 5years NOC 1215. Since you already have up to 3 years of work experience at your former place of work, use it. Provided you are sure of getting the required reference letter from them. For the self employment part, update that in personal history. There's nothing wrong in doing that.

Furthermore, I just got a new job to resume 1st week in January 2018, do I need to update this new role in my ITA profile before I submit? The issue is that I only have the employment letter and cannot go to ask the HR of this new establishment for additional reference to Canadian immigration, I am just resuming there and do not want to raise any red flag or risk losing this new managerial job. You do not need to tell your new employers anything for now unless you are expressly asked to provide some information that might require you doing so during your application review process. Since you will be submitting your application by January ending, include the new place of work in personal history too just so you don't leave anything that might cause delays subsequently

For Proof of funds, is there any harm in getting 100% gift as proof of funds from my father? I know gifts are allowed by my concern is the 100% of the funds because due to the job loss, my 6months statement can not make sense. There is no harm in your PoF being 100% gift. A number of persons have done this and given explanations in the past. Just get an appropriate gift deed and notarize accordingly. Someone made reference to Yimiton's post, check that and every other search result that "PoF" would give you. It's one of the most repeated topics

Please respond please, please, please. I plan to submit my ITA profile by January ending
My take above

Hello Elders,

Am currently waiting for my Uni to come back from xmas leave in jan for them to send my docs. I assume there's no way wes can finish evaluation before receiving transcript from school.

I uploaded my certificate to WES and my status changed to 'Your evaluation is in progress. You are not required to do anything at this time'
and it hasn't changed since for a full month now. Is this normal
Yes it is. The status only changes upon receipt of any applicable document referenced to your WES ref number. However, you might receive another e-mail from WES reminding you of the other required documents that have not been received on your behalf (e.g. Transcript). Which school is it? Someone here might have a contact in the school that can help out.

Please, how long does it take WES to update one's account on the receipt of transcript? I was asked to give 24-48hrs for the update after the package tracker acknowledged delivery to WES (21/12/17). But that is long overdue and Iam still yet to have my account updated as regards the receipt of my transcript. Can it take as long as a week?
Well, from experience, WES doesn't take up to the maximum time they communicate to update profiles. In my case, my school uses DHL so I tracked using both DHL and the WES document tracker. DHL delivery time coincided with WES receipt time and my profile was updated in less than 6 hours even though they said 24-48hours.
It is also possible they're on Christmas holiday (not so sure though). I think you should contact them here https://www.wes.org/contact-us/, call their direct line on +12129666311 if you are in haste or wait until January in case my suspicion is true.

My dear Fantababy,
.

My candid advice to you and your husband is to decline this ITA and ensure your ITA date is after your ECA and IELTS dates (which as I have mentioned are requirements for you to be in the pool in the first instance). If everyone could claim future ECAs, the pool will be overflowing by now. However, you can choose to take your chances and then your experience will guide those coming after you. I hope you will come back to share.
Guys, let's do this thing the straightforward way already set out on CIC website. The worst that will happen is that you don't get ITA but still remain eligible for subsequent draws. I suppose that's way better than getting disqualified and banned for a whole 5years or more, by which time age would've eaten deep into your existing CRS score (that is if they truly decide to show mercy and reconsider you)

The British Council office remains closed until January 2. It's so saddening that despite the plethora of complaints pouring in before they went on Xmas vacation, they couldn't make alternative provisions for candidates still faced with various degrees of concern.
Best bet would be for everyone who still has issues to resolve to endeavor to be at their Ikoyi office on January 2. The test date would've been only 4 days away by then. I pray it ends well for all concerned.

The guy has guyman spirit in him cheesy
lol. It's no guyman spirit sister. My former colleague who has already landed did exactly the same thing and I'm very certain he did. Only thing is that he already knew when his ECA report would be ready, as WES advised. That date didn't change, he used it and the rest is his Canadian PR history. Like I said earlier on, decline ITA if you do not know the date your report would be ready. I do not see misrepresentation in this. Worst case, you receive ECA before the estimated date which isn't a big deal on its own.

Inasmuch as it's not advisable to cut corners, we can also seek for more efficient ways of achieving the same result. Especially where it's been tested and it worked. I already did same for myself and that's why I'm cool with making it public. If anyone thinks it's not worth it, they had better left it out.
