Thank you so much for your answer. According to them( NABTEB) advance level is equivalent to OND.

lawland:
You didn't mention the qualification.

lawland:
Ok.. 4 of my mates did Advanced diploma in Electrical Engineering here, they assessed their diploma qualification for electrical engineering draftsperson with EA and never mentioned their degrees. They got positive outcome and nothing about their degree was mentioned in the outcome letter. When filling the EOI, they entered their degree as their highest qualification and got 15 points for it. Specifics: one studied a 4 years course in Unilag, the other 2 studied a 5 yrs course from FUTO and one is french and studied in France. They all got their visa granted and no questions about qualification asked. I hope this answers all your questions?

Azy123:
Plunge already taken since that is why I claimed 15 points. That was what I believed to be true but started doubting and fearing when I saw comments. As it is, nothing has changed.

CASE CLOSED. This case was open on this forum and closed before with the same conclusion.

Thanks lawland for the example from experience. If we like we can read all blogs but one single comparable experience helps put the mind at rest.
Thanks NNBB2012 for the info. Alphadoor #5 pt_movement#

Summary for others

As far as you have a positive assessment from an assessing body and the point you are claiming is clearly supported by CEP. the following applies...

1) If you have a positive assessment with one qualification and have another qualification that is higher you can use the higher qualification to claim point.
2) If your assessment authority is silent on the higher qualification - you can claim point for it
3) If the qualification is not related to your occupation - you can claim point for it
4) Even if you complete the highest qualification yesterday - you can claim point for it today

@ZoeW edit your 189 EOI Asap congrat on your ITA in advance

If the trade test is supported by verifiable formal training. She should be able to scale through but I'm a little bit sceptical about the work experience thingy...

For each year of self-employment:
• business registration documents (duly registered according to you)
• relevant trade or business licences (Local government permit should do or beta still get one from her association )
• annual business returns (Get an accounts to draw the business returns)
• statement from a registered/certified accountant if applicable ( She can ignore dis)
• taxation documents citing the name of the business (Get tax receipt from LIRS)

3.2 Qualification documents
For your application to be registered by TRA, it must include evidence of formal training and outcomes that can be considered comparable to the AQF qualification for your nominated occupation. Therefore, the following documents must be included with your application:
• final qualification/s or apprenticeship certificate or award
• a full academic transcript or other documents that include the start and end date of your training and details of the program of study
• apprenticeship documents such as the contract of apprenticeship, journal or any other relevant document from your employer, governing body or training institution relating to your apprenticeship if applicable.

The following items cannot be used as a substitute for a qualification:
• occupational licences
• trade tests not supported by comparable and verifiable formal training
• short course certificates such as single day or single subject training
• work experience.

The above info is from TRA's website

OlalekanKad:
Am sure my brother Sujydee is somewhere making his money lol! but I think I can make some notes.

How long was your apprenticeship for? I have colleagues here and they said their apprenticeship standard is five years.

So I presume they won't accept anything less than that. They accept apprenticeship certificate, there is no doubt about that.

You will see the note on that in their application guideline and do remember, the success of an application depends on the packaging.

@ Olalekankad, does that mean they accept only Trade Test Certificates for assessment too?

SUJYDEE:


My reply to your PM keeps bouncing back o. Yes you should be able to get positive outcome from TRA if the programme is related to the nominated occupation.

pweetiesuzie:

With her years of experience, try laurentian university

yemdogg:


There must have been a mistake somewhere.

I think she should reapply. With a strong sop.

Buh my advice is for her to look for a masters degree which is finance related. The big question is....why would a chartered accountant with 7 years of work experience go for a PGD? Why not MBA or some other striking master's degree in finance/business.

Lemme ask you what was stated in the refusal letter itself. Cos apparently it seems the gcms notes applied for on your wife's behalf may not be apposite to her profile. There must have been a mistake either from the person filling the atip/gcms notes forms or maybe the VO made a mistake in recording her data.

If the tuition is 7k per semester what is the duration of the entire program? How many semester in total. Whatever your outcome is add it with 10k cad. When you add these together is the naira equivalent sufficient?


As it is now, in view of the circumstance you still don't know the real reason for refusal. Try and apply for another gcms notes to be sure. If you cannot do that, tell us the reason stated on the refusal letter so that we can make a calculated guess on the reason for refusal and tackle it head-on.

yemdogg:


You first need to establish that this particular gcms notes doesn't reflect your actual profile. Cos if the VO made a mistake in coming to the conclusion stated in your gcms notes then you only need a very strong sop.

What program are you going for?

What's your previous discipline?

How much is the tuition?

How much is stated in your scholarship letter ?

What is the balance of your personal and family account? Specifically who's your sponsor?


Is the amount stated in your funds available section of your study permit application form consistent with the money already liquidated?

Are you a matured applicant with no economic ties to Nigeria e.g single, no employment, no property (real or movable) extremely low balance in SOA,?

Were able to address your employment prospects in nigeria upon concluding your program?

Is there any discrepancies with your intending program and your previous study background/work background.?

Answer these questions then we'd know if indeed this gcms notes applies to you.
