Type ICES ECA evaluation and detailed process pops out.However,click on *apply now*, fill in your details,your reference number with A000.....,will be displayed,take note of that then after filling it,scan and upload original B.sc or whatever degree you have in coloured as well as your international passport.There is a placeholder for each document.Of you are married,upload your marriage certificate in the placeholder for*others* this is important to prove the reason for discrepancy for the names in your certificate and international passport.

Go ahead to make payment with debit card as it is accepted notwithstanding their website specifically said only credit card is accepted.Courier fee for Canadian address is $26 while international address is$75.

Then for official transcript,your school *must* send it to ICES through the school's official email address or they can courier it to ICES.Official school email address should not be yahoo or gmail.

I would suggest you follow up with your school so that once the transcript is ready,you can create an ICES acccount,submit then send the reference no to your school to submit the next day or so.

They only send acknowledgement of documents,and completion of ECA to your email or you can log in to your account to see it too.

Once your school sends your transcript to ICES,send them a mail to confirm receipt and you will get response within 48 hrs.Goodluck guys.

The whole process was 5weeks.

hello, how much were you billed per Cad?

For anyone who is confused about the issue of credit or debit card, I just used my Gtb debit master card to pay today, and it worked perfectly well.
Cheers!é

Your DoB is very likely on your Transcript (and would also be the same on your WAEC)) andat's the date WES will put on your ECA regardless of any extra documentation you provide now. The only way to get WES to use your 'new' DoB is to change it from the school so that you transcript reflects the new date.

Or you can use other bodies for your ECA, don't use WES

veleta:
Ok thanks but how long did yours take for verification?

I was just thinking,why can't WES borrow a leaf from German Consulate,what they request for is WAEC or NECO scratch card/pin from applicants instead of this back and forth verification.
I don't think it's age discrepancy that they are interested in,I think it's the authenticity of the result because some transcripts don't have date of birth like Unizik.

Dera12345:
Exactly!!!
That’s the process..
I paid all the fees before getting my offer letter, and I completed the second payment immediately I received my offer letter.
Mine is 2years post secondary (under graduate) healthcare and environmental science management.

@MrniceG

A simple response to your question would be an advise to forget that advanced diploma. It is lower than a degree and you already have one. It is also not going to scale through as an entry qualification for your current occupation as you already have experience in it. Your best bet is a PGD/C with a strong conviction as to why you have chosen it.

Advanced diploma mainly is designed for folks who just completed high school and about to lunch a career path before pursuing a degree and with very little experience or non atal.

Don't dash Accra visa office your application fees. Your application will be REFUSED. If you say you cannot find a PGC/D in Canada for this program, a good question would be, why not somewhere else where you can get a PGC/D or a master degree program in biomedical engineering. Why must it be Canada for a degree lower than one you already have? How competitive would an advanced diploma be for you in Nigeria(having claimed you would return) where many job aspirants and applicants have either a master degree or a degree in your field?. How would you progress in your field after this program with a lower degree amongst others with higher degrees and experiences?

These are some of the reasonable questions that would matter. It will be very evident that you would not leave Canada at the end of your study. Your purpose of visit is likely to be ticked. You must think in a VO's direction.

Regards.

Austinpee4:
Before you even apply for admission, ensure you have good and cogent reasons to give to the visa officer about why you have chosen an advanced diploma(this is below a degree) and why you intend to spend huge funds obtaining it in Canada as against Nigeria. You will also need to explain all you have been doing till date. And yes, in your case, your age may raise a little eyebrow during your study permit application but if you can convince them enough, it MIGHT matter less.

You really need to think this move before you decide. There is a lot about 'purpose of visit' hovering around it already. If you have a very genuine reason for going for this program, then you can proceed otherwise, it will be highly unlikely to convince the officers seated in Accra.

Elo, Same thing with me, plz i just want to ask are u saying an advance diploma program isn't t good to go for? Cos i also intend applying for an advance diploma program for 2years in Biomedical engineering technology in one of the collegies in canada. But i hv searched for pgd program in Biomedical engineering technology but to no avail. I study electrical electronics engineering, worked for some years as an electrical engr, i got an other job as a biomedical engr 3 years back, but b4 i was confirm a biomedical engr i was train on how to fix hospital equipment both home and abroad. I hv good job experience on this career and some foreign certifications to back my CV and i so wish to go forward into it. U also said some thing on the age side cos i am 33. I will appreciate u guide me.

Thanks


Regards.

HSE Officers are called CASHES...in other words Community Affairs , Safety Health Environment and security ...It is a kind of unique career path on its own ... You can only start by going to d nearest ISPON branch close to you and check their calendar to see d schedule that fit in ur own timing or d time of d month when you can spare 5 days for the training or 10 days if you have the cash to run it upto d HSE Competence level 3 stage ... You must start wit d General HSE b4 u go for level 3, d genera is also more expensive that level 3 but not higher in grade... It is safer doing it with ISPON because they are backed by an Act ... Called ISPON ACT 2014.... I don't get paid for this neither am i a staff there , am only a member, I used all my cash earned during my NYsc and election money in 2011 to run mine from General to becoming a member... It is called Self-Development , I confess that was the best decision i ever took all my life...D secretary in my branch is nw a safety manager somewhere in EEDC, his take home pay is alarming...also one of our member is also in another branch of PHCN earning large just as a safety officer...six digit salary is d way to go

excelsiorfarm: A few had being in touch with me offline, for every biz u intend to go in, follow this adage that says always do the math i.e do conscious reasoning,get a biz plan, there is no need raising 1000 birds when u can only feed a hundred,why employ when available funds wont pay

Jamoyt001: Why not mail the schl and ask them if they can accept it. Only ur schl can answer dis question oga

emeka55: I'm not sure u can apply for Msc with HND certificate. U require Bsc, except u want to aplly for Bsc... Not sure though

Most schools don't require Ielts or Toefl from Nigerians, but it's better u check the school's requirement on their webisite. U can search for schools on www.daad.de or www.mastersportal.eu

SimplyD: All you need do is get copies of your documents authenticated by a 'notary public'- usually legal practitioners. You shoul find this option available for most universities in Germany, you can verify this on the "required documents" page of your choice university.
As for TOEFL you can also avoid it by obtaining a letter from your state's ministry of education which would indicate that you have been taught in English from primary education through university (about 16 years).
These worked for me and also for a friend of mine. All the best.
