Even at your present stage, you can still edit her work history to remove all or that which she has to travel to get. Spouse work experience gained outside Canada adds zero point to your CRS. So, if you remove any or all (provided it's outside Canada), your CRS is unaffected.

Please do the needful, save your self and more your wife the stress of travelling to get reference letter. Folks (PAs inclusive) have removed work experience after ITA was received and nothing consequential happened. I (as PA) did remove a work experience post ITA and sailed through quite well.

Glory to God. I got my ITA today.

You guys are so Awesome, thank you for all the advise.

I entered the pool around 2AM today with a score 453, infact I was shocked when I got the mail of ITA.
To everyone that contributed to it, Thanks a lot. Thanks for the knowledge we have been sharing.

More questions are still to come please oo, Na mid-way journey be this.

May The Lord answer all our prayers. May we all make it to Canada. For those that are already there, may they continue to florish, Am so so happy. Entered the pool & got ITA same day. This can only be God.

kunmi5:
Yes, you are correct.
I had to write IELTS 3 times before I finally got a very high score. My 1st was made up of all 6,6,6,6.5. I had to study more, online tutorial before coming up with LRWS 6,7,6.5,7.5 in Oct2017 but all this could only get a CRS of 376, Still not discouraged I re-registered for Dec2,2017 immediately again & God took control L-8, R-7, W-7.5, S-7.5. This shot my CRS from 376 to 453. Now I can apply for EE this week

2. The higher your degree, the more pointd accrued for credential evaluation.

3. Relative(or spouse relative) gives you a score or 15points.

Here are the links to some of the materials I used which has been shared here already before.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1A32Ko0KVjhZDZEWFBsOWYybDA
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-ojk5EVi9onWm5NcHB5UEVYY2c

The first link contains cambridge IELTS 1 - 10. while the second has cambridge IELTS 5 - 12. So you might want to consider downloading the folders individually so you don't have duplicate copies and waste data. You can also request for a practise material from https://admissiontestportal.com/en/pages/4-ielts-test-preparation/

Other sites I used for tips were ieltsliz.com, readingielts.com ieltsbuddy.com especially for writing, band 9 speaking videos on youtube. E2 videos and so. Just practice reading and listening more with the cambridge ielts after looking up tips and you should be good to go for those ones.

I think for the duration for preparation, it depends on the time you put in and how fast you start getting desirable results and build your confidence. I took about 5 weeks to prepare.

Hello guys, I've been silently follwing this thread for a while now. Want to thank you guys for the good job you are doing here.

Just got my IELTS now. First attempt LRSW - 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7. All thanks to God for the success. @einsteino and @yetunde84 thank you for the materials you shared. Was really helpful.

I have concluded my ECA for my MSc alone. Submitted my application on the 11th of october, my Uni requested a copy of my certificate and sent it along with my transcript to WES the following day as it was a UK institution and the process was seamless. Got my report on the 7th of November. Just getting ready to dive into the pool now. I should be swimming in lane 450

What I think is more important is that the date of birth on your ECA report is the same as that on your passport. I made a mistake with the DOB i entered for my husband when registering for his WES evaluation, I sent them his passport, birth cert and affidavit of age declaration via hellofax when sending his BSc certificate and they quickly effected the changes. I think you should go the route of ensuring you put the date of birth that shows on your passport and birth cert (assuming they are both the same) when you are applying on the WES site. You could also include information on your cover note (if using hellofax) when sending these docs about the disparity on your transcript if you so wish. My own thoughts though.

Thanks. I appreciate your good gesture.

If you must change this, there are two possibilities:
1. Changing the DoB on your transcript: This would require you sending in a request to the registrar/exams and records department for an update on your records. This will of course trigger a senate approval process since your current result (and bio data) passed through same before your certificate was issued. This as you may rightly guess would take a lot of time with comparatively minimal cost implication. I know this because I also made a similar inquiry, but was related to correction of some grades which ended up plummeting my CGPA. I decided to ditch the idea (tentatively) after the woman in the records office gave me this breakdown. Well at least, the error didn't change my class of degree.

2. Effecting the change on your passport: I do not have the exact amount on my fingertips right now but you can check the immigration website to see the amount and other requirements for change/correction of passport particulars. Chances are that this would take a pretty long time when you process in Lagos towards the end of the year. So I'd advice that you go to some other reasonable state's passport office to initiate the procedure albeit, it would still have to go to Abuja in any case.

I'd advise anyway that if you have sat for IELTS it would be wiser to go through the first option since BC only authenticates candidates' information from their international passport. They must've picked your DoB too and the last thing you want to be faced with is being questioned for conflicting information on your various documents

If you mustn't, kindly IGNORE. I do not think WES has any business verifying your DoB or school reg number. They should be more concerned about your academic credential evaluation

@DatechMan had the same issue. You can read his posts.
