The wait from VETASSESS is finally over. Got a positive assessment for my occupation this morning.

Pls Gurus in the house, what are the documents needed to apply for Victoria nomination (as a Geologist want to apply for subclass 190 visa )

Nice, aside what you used for your assessment, you'll need your IELTS as well.. As suggested earlier, check out the state's web page for what is required so you don't leave anything out.

Victoria nomination doesn't take more than 2 weeks most times

Ekpekus:
Really? This is Quebec he is asking about

Being able to speak french is no longer a requirement.. But if you can speak.. You'll have an edge

JesusDWay:
Happy to announce to you all that Saskatchewan has reopened its SINP Express Entry Category again on November 2nd. Chek the link below and hurry with your application. There are just 500spaces available:

http://www.economy.gov.sk.ca/immigration/express-entry


After opening the page, scroll down a little and locate "Application Guide". Click to open it and scroll down the guide(its in pdf) first to check if your occupation is listed. If its there, then click on the Apply Online to start your application. I must warn you that its a very tedious process but just hang in there till you submit before the Indians carry the day again.

Best wishes!

lol. @the indians... Fear those guys o.. The way they fill up available slots is crazy

Manweysabi:
No, they didn't tell me to upload the transcript.

The first one i sent was mistakenly sent to the US instead of Australia.

The 2nd one was sent with the envelop unsealed.... It was rejected

No biggie, in part one of this thread someone's transcript got to them on the 12th week and they still sent his positive evaluation two weeks later..

Hopefully next week we will hear from them.

Manweysabi:
Though, my transcript got to them 10 days ago

Ohk.. But did they tell you to also upload a copy of your transcript? They would have already been working with the other details you provided.
Cos the funny twist to mine was that my transcript got to them a week before I even submitted. After they acknowledged it has been received they still insisted I upload a copy.

Manweysabi:
Submitted 8th August

Nice. Same day as me. So we can both monitor from our end.

Manweysabi:
This waiting on VETASSESS, no be small thing o

Just like groundhog day.

When did you submit?

bellong:
Are you living in isolation there? Are there no humans you can talk to?

Make friends with people of other race, culture and gender, then you wouldn't be bored.

Help me tell am o!

You would think he's on mars

Franzeez:
Thanks my bro, make dem no go vex and think I am not real or trying to fake something ni. I have spent too much to just loose out cos of that mistake. Above all thank you

I understand the only way to calm your nerves now will be to give you the CO's number directly so you can explain one on one abi?
Seriously, I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill as earlier pointed by two of our most experienced gurus..especially since you have followed due protocal with the correction form..
What if you typed 8 instead of 2?

Dude just relax, everything will work out at the end,

NNBB2012:
Good one! Indeed, it's been a while. Although I always read comments on the thread.

With your good IELTS result, you can quickly go for your assessment. The goodnews now is there is fasttrack path which you rightly mentioned. I know of someone that got her positive assessment within 24hrs.

It would be good if you could get supporting documents for your NYSC period because that would help you to get 5 points on experience. Otherwise, you would be at the mercy of states which is very slow these days, particularly, NSW. You could give PTE-A a go and see if you could make 20points from it to boost your points and then go for 189.

Kai.. If only Vetassess had fast track

irondome:
Typical draw packed with applicants that have PNP nomination and LMIA. I think the Canadian immigration system is skewed so much in favor of inland applicants and it's about to get worse with the Liberals in power.

Yep, I said this earlier. Best to just be on the look out for PNP.. Fastest fingers

Been a while we heard from the PR click..

zandora:
GLORY BE TO GOD. I'VE JUST GOTTEN PPR UNDER EXPRESS ENTRY!!

Please if you're still contemplating applying, don't give up. My application was by no means perfect but here I am, if I could do it then so can you. Goodluck!

P.S - Don't worry I'll still be here to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge

About time. Congrats Zandora

sftt:
Dear bro and sis,
Please what is vetassess address for transcript to be sent to?

To be honest, I think you should confirm it directly from their website. To be on the safe side.

Manweysabi:
Please, which of the email did you use?

VETASSESS should reduce that 3 months jor... It's too far

I know someone whose evaluation took 7 weeks, but for most people, its strictly 12 weeks or more.

Just brace yourself.

.

Manweysabi:
Hello all,

How do I know that VETASSESS have received my transcript sent from my school?

... And can I ask them to scan and send a copy to me?

Thanks

Nope, you can't ask them to do that.Quite the contrary, after I sent mine thru my school, they insisted I still upload a scanned copy to my profile.

You should just track it online.

Morning folks,

Just woke up to see that DIBP has reverted to the former method of holding 2 invitation rounds per month (every two weeks). The draws are no longer held on the Mondays but now on Fridays.

The numbers of 189 monthly invitations have also dropped from 2300 to 2000, while 489 has also declined to just 40.

Am pretty sure more there will be more changes by the time the new government settles in e.g stricter rules, increase in visa fees e.t.c

vetassess status showing in progess.
kai the waiting is killing.

lol..when did you submit?

yuad:
Hi guys just a quick question. If I studied a bsc in information technology graduated in Aug 2013 have been working in customer service at a bank since Dec in the same year can i apply for pr under customer service manager?

Customer service manager requires 3 years relevant experience to be assessed by Vetassess

Manweysabi:
Hello house,

Please i need clarity about what VETASSESS meant by uploading a certify copy of my passport biopage.

I uploaded the original copy, they're still telling me they're not satisfied with it... and in 15 days time they'll cancel my application if i don't provide it.

I Had the same issue, but i uploaded my birth certificate (original copy) instead and they were OK with that.

MockingBird:
Hello guys, pls help me out, my wife applied to WES Canada to have her credentials evaluated. She logged into her account to check her status and it showed 'waiting for verification from institution'. Upon calling her school to confirm if they have received it they confirmed that it has come and that they need money from her to send the document back. They started quoting different amount for DHL, FedEx and normal courier. Pls I want to know if this is right or its just one non-academic staff trying his luck. I'll really appreciate answers. Thanks

In a normal society, that financial burden Should fall on the school, emphasis on 'normal'.

Anyway I had to pay for courier for the verification, and if you go through the tread you'll notice so did a couple of other guys. I also know people who didn't pay anything.

Etfash:
In my opinion, anyone who scores 400/496 hasn't done badly. Let's face it, if you have never been to Canada to study or work and doesn't have a provincial nomination or prearranged employment, I think you will have a maximum score of 496 or slightly more. That's with a phD.
What percentage is that? That's over 80%. Some have also said maximum score possible without Canadian links is 520, but even at that, the percentage would be greater than 76%. That isn't bad.

I feel the entire process is skewed - my opinion though.

Meanwhile, have you noticed the trend of people's scores in the IELTS? Get at least band 7 in three of the modules and have your band score reduced by 0.5 in one of the modules. That way, you lose at least 56 points. 496-56=? It will always be less than 450. So: immigrants influx is checked; more and more people repeat the test; Newbies who are yet to write apply to write; people who feel they should score more ask for evaluation - but pay for it; then, one out of say 20 gets his marks changed. That way, people will still believe that the process isn't biased and, will pump in more money into writing the exam.

Lastly, what do you make of a CRS of 800points? That means the person had just 200points outside one of a provincial nomination or a job offer.

Now, I am not a pessimist; just stating what i feel is obvious.

N.B.
I read that IELTS exams are marked at the centres where they are written.

In my opinion, the provincial nomination is beneficial largely for people already in Canada (and they are the ones who fill up these slots faster) and also for those with jobs in Canada.(how many people have gotten jobs from outside Canada? not many)

Then very limited number can apply outside Canada (BC only accepted 200 applications in the whole world) ..lol
So for provincial nomination, you have to be pretty fast about it (competing against mainly indians)


Then their processing time is a different story.

Well, at the end of the day the system is meant to work to the Country's advantage not the migrants.

The lesson to be learnt is perseverance

Ekicedar:
Please house, which provincial nomination is ongoing and which will be opened soon?

Most of them have been opened for so long, they now require applicants to have a job offer or have a relative residing in their province. I guess Quebec will be opening soon, but their processing ehn...lol

Edgeoftomorrow:
Please I need an advice, WES sent verification documents to my former institution since about 1 month now but the school keeps saying they have not received it yet, is it advisable to ask WES to send the verification documents to the school through international courier

From my experience, it never hurts to have someone on the inside (Registrars office/exams and records)

If WES says they've sent it, then free them. Like I said, try and get someone at your school who will be on the look out for your stuff (if it hasn't already arrived)

mjlbabajide:
Still expecting my result from vetassess. its been couple of weeks out now. staying on the positive side though.

Fastest processing time I have heard from someone regarding Vetassess is 6 weeks, even tho most people fall within the 12 week period.
