I'm just frustrated with WES. I wish I never decided to use them. When did they start asking for verification of certificate?. I sent them my BSc certificate through hellofax only for them to ask my school to verify the certificate, which is going to cost me double. I'm just so confused.

If you are still at ECA stage, I'll reiterate what others have been saying. DO NOT USE WES!!!!!

they have always verified

rieme26:

WES here, WES there. I even heard someone asking another if he has done his WES. Please guys there are 5 evaluating bodies. ICES, IQAS, ICAS, CES, and WES. Although, I don't need the evaluation anymore I just did my spouse's BSC with ICES and it took exactly month from when the document got to them according to the date on the evaluation report and around 8days to get to the Canadian address, due to the Canada post strike thingy which they have called off now .
Guys stay woke and alert abeg.

ur head is very correct

Guitarlife:

Hi please can you give detailed info about this cargoeing of a thing, surprisingly there is hardly any detailed info for those who have ? Please we need information about how much it cost and the contact of the agency or their name. What are the logistics et all all these will be very much appreciated for those who have succesfully cargoed things.

Cargo takes about a week max, fees per kg is about 1200, can be reduced if load is plenty. Most guys share cargo but pray to get someone whose head is correct, lol

Also theres a fee charged at customs when picking up, like $110, cant remember

einsteino:


I havent been to the U.S but I have seen a video of an American who landed in Toronto during winter and he was outraged at the cold and kept asking "why do y'all live in a place like this?" Lol. My guess is that he is from a temperate U.S state, cos Toronto isnt that cold by canadian standards, that would be the likes of Regina. Anyways Canada is north of the U.S, so should be further up the poles and so
most parts of Canada should be colder than the USA.
But it isnt cold all year. From what I have heard it gets very hot during summer, and generally depends on what part of Canada you live in. Montreal was much colder than Toronto, if I am to compare my time in both cities.

The cold in most canadian cities is not something you cant tolerate if you dress for it, and if your work is indoor, ultimately you would just commute from a warm house to a warm office by driving a warm car - via a snow stormed road though(hopefully you arent as broke as me and dont need to wait buses in the cold). Anyways there are people living in Yukon, though i dont know how they manage to call that living, to me i think it's more like battling the elements.

What I least anticipated is how much effect the short day light can have on one, I am beginning to suspect that it's affecting me psychologically.

vit D pills should be ur best friend this period

tobore187:

Interesting einsteino....funny enough my husband was telling me earlier today to try and go outside for periods of five minutes at a time to receive sunlight as i work indoors the entire day/daylight. I laughed it off, now i know better. Thanks.
