TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by oge966: 2:38pm On Jan 08, 2020
Any luck with this sister?

I am currently stock on Unilag email verification to WES. They keep telling me that they have not received any email from WES.

I am really confused.

Pwinkle1:
Hello Canadians, please I really need some help. My Wes has been at verification stage for a while now and Unilag is taking their time. Please does anyone have a contact thay have used to fast track the verification process? Please help a sister!

Hello,

I’d try to answer to the best of my knowledge - if I’m not correct anywhere, someone should please correct me.

1. To make you feel more comfortable perhaps you should just evaluate both? Also - are you applying for PNP or EE? I think this would influence which one you should use.

2. Yes you’d get points from your husbands ECA, but no points from his work experience especially if he is not the PA - best to include his work experience in the personal history bit (so I learnt)
I'm applying for EE but may look in the direction of PNP much later.

You mean your degree certificate and not your transcript right?

If yes, please use hellofax.com
Thank you @Pwinkle1

From the advice received so far here on WES evaluation, it is better to evaluate only your master's degree instead of evaluating both BSc and master degree. I also read somewhere in this thread that it is better to evaluate the degree you would be working with if you eventually travel to Canada.

So this is my situation.... I have a BSc in computer science and I have been working as a software consultant for over 14 years now in Nigeria. I did an MBA in Unilag some 5 years back and I intend to use my MBA for my application to earn more points.

The confusion here is that my MBA is not too related to my work experience (Software consultant) and if I evaluate only that then I will not be evaluating a degree I will like to work with and this might affect me getting a software job over there.

Would you advice I include my BSc Computer science degree in my WES evaluation since that is related to my work experience or I should just proceed with evaluation of only my MBA? What is the implication if I go with the later option?

Secondly, I learnt I will get more points if I add my spouse degree but I want to know if I will earn further points if I include my spouse work experience and get a reference letter to back that up?

Thank you.

Exactly what i was going to say o!
Mine took 4months with the so called “fast track”!!
I sent mails several times nothing, not until I escalated by coping an ‘oga’ in the mail they then responded almost immediately. A friend’s own since December 2018 till date nothing.

It’s really appalling!
Please can you send me the 'oga' email. Thanks

I’m not sure - but I guess if you input it when making your WES application they’d be able to guide you further?

Or you can search the thread to find out if anyone has had a similar situation.
Pls how did you submit your certificate to WES for evaluation? Through DHL or post office and how long does it usually take?

Thank for your continuous support.

No additional points if you add BSc just use your highest qualification.
Thank you ChiefDaddy1.

Do I need to do a separate WES evaluation for my spouse first degree as well?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 9 by oge966: 8:32pm On Oct 19, 2019
Pwinkle1:
For mine, I used only IRCC and my Nigerian house address.

The physical address doesn’t matter so much, because you get sent a soft copy which you can use for your application.

If you have alternative reliable address outside of Nigeria then I guess you can use that since it’ll be faster than coming all the way to Nigeria.
Do I get more points adding my BSc on my WES application after adding my MBA degree?

Again will I get more points if I add my MSc degree which I'm currently undergoing on my application?

3 months is a long time - you can maybe practice for 6 weeks?

Have you tried videos on YouTube? I used Lizielts and JayE2 - go through the thread from Part 1, you’d find lots of resources to study with.

Based on personal experience I’d say; pick a date, book the exam and make sure you watch videos at least one hour daily. That’s what I did and it worked for me.

Everyone is different though, so figure out what will work for you.
Thank you. I will sure put your submission into consideration.

I have started my WES application after creating account but I'm having issues adding recipients that WES will send my evaluation reports to. I don't recognize the institutions on the pre-approved list or is this not necessary? My house address and IRCC has been added by default and I'm a bit confused what to enter on the recipients fields.

Secondly is it advisable to use residential address as correspondence address for WES and other applications considering the way mails that are sent to Lagos addresses get lost. If no what other alternatives should I consider?

Thank you for your support.

Please start the wes immediately.

Also, if finance is not an issue, please reconsider 3months plan for ielts. If you could do that earlier, why not.
Thank you for the advice.

Finance is not the issue but I need more time to prepare for the exams so I can get good results except you have an idea of how I can fast track it and still achieve my goal of getting good results?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 9 by oge966: 6:22pm On Oct 19, 2019
Pwinkle1:
Yes, you should proceed with your evaluation now, especially if your certification is from a Nigerian institution as there’s a longer lead time.

There isn’t really any correlation between ielts and evaluation.
Fantastic! Thank you.

Please do have an idea if Microsoft certifications will earn me more points and if yes, how do I go about evaluating them?

Pwinkle1:
Please check out Page 1 of this thread, there should be some guidance there.
Thank you for your response.

I have checked and saw that I can use WES for evaluation of my degrees.

Would you advise I proceed with the evaluation now even when I have not written my Ielts exams?

I plan writing the Ielts exams in three months time and I don't want the delay associated with getting WES results to affect the entire process for me.

Thank you as I expect your feedback

BusinessRe: IS AYEEN 2016 A GREAT SCAM? OR A MONEY MAKING EVENT? by oge966: 7:59am On Jul 29, 2016
I think AYEEN is a big scam. I got their email and have long overlooked it. Imagine an email for training of entrepreneurs having so much details about payment for form including payments options for Banks leaving out important details about the modus operandi of the programme. This shows they only concentrated on what is important to them which the MONEY. Anyone subscribing to this is doing that at his peril. Scammers alert turned on!

I think GEOFLUIDS PP is a scam. They knew what they were doing from beginning. I remember how their MD then cajoled innocent Nigerians to invest in their company when they knew they were not going to be listed. Same story of we are going to list but 8 years down the line nothing to show for it.

Victims of this scam should expose this company.
