You are correct

Keep it short and use high band tenses in your sentences that are common to a native English speaker.

E.g Instead of saying ""He was angry that Mukaila had escaped" you could say "he was livid that Mukaila had escaped"

venorite:


Ok thank you. But in part 1, keeping it short or giving details?

I booked for medicals at IOM last year 20th December i think. From the email confirmation of my medicals slated for 10th January, no such request was indicated.

were you asked for it, or you heard of it from another source?

shege45:
i think its new ooo
Wasn’t asked for that

Are you kidney me?

How I love the territories.

Who's joining me in Northwest Territories - Yellowknife

In my opinion i will say IELTS jay, reason being that his techniques helps you to speak at length on any topic presented in part 2. Jay advises from the perspective of an IELTS student. Note that he has taken the exams severally.

But Liz is more understandable, like she explains in layman's terms i.e trying to get the message across as simple as possible. She advises from the perspective of an examiner.

In summary, its advisable to combine both methodologies to pick out the best of both worlds.

Note, this is strictly my opinion

venorite:
Please for ielts speaking, which is better, ielts Liz or jay ? Cos ieltsliz says keep it simple while jay say, elaborate and make longer sentences

No worry, just go and drink water and come back. latest by Monday it will show

So WES promised to complete my assessment yesterday. Till now, nothing from them. The status is still saying it's due on the 4th of this months (yesterday).

Y'all should calm me down...

His Job title will better help in finding out his NOC
Eg, Director, finance
Director, Accounts & reporting
etc

Mcseun:
Goodevening everyone, my husband wants to be the PA, but he is currently a director in a manufacturing company, but he studied accounting . Please what is likely going to be His NOC. Because I tried searching director nothing came up. Please help

Just spoke to the account officer and was like they just gave me the letter in the format which i requested due to relationship. But in reality that's not their own format. In fact she mentioned they will likely remove the line that says average balance and indicate current balance so as to generate another and send across.

But really, whats the big deal in adding up account balances for July to December divided by 6, i guess that's average?

Anyways they will get back to me by monday on how best their bank can handle this. one bank with elephant in their symbol. lol

Tojued:


Honestly I think you should get the letter corrected. If they can't give you average balance, let them indicate it's current balance. It's inaccurate to call it average balance and then put figure of current balance.
Would be an inconsistency if you get adr for statement of account.

That should be dependent on your income if you ask me.

For example, someone earning 100k and voom!!! 500k credit reflects on that account. That should require an LOE

etrange:
Just for clarity purpose, how much credit in my bank statement is big enough to require some explanation (gifted deed, LOE, affidavite, etc)?

Since you mentioned its a significant amount, then it will be nice to explain it.

I'm sure that''s easy to do?

etrange:
Good Morning Fam,

A quick one, please.

My coy paid a special performance bonus last month. This is quite a lump sum and has made a huge impact on the account I am using for POF. Do I need to add a LOE for this?

Thanks in advance.

Congrats bro, what a powerful way to start the year.

Thanks to both of you for your kind feedback.

Now, i received my reference letter from the bank and noticed that for the average 6 months balance, what was specified was account balance as at day letter was issued.

Although i made it very clear that what i wanted was 6 months average balance and relationship manager was like, that's hard work for them to achieve since their system does not keep that information.

Well, i hope this is fine?

joo2018:
Only the Reference letter + latest FD certificate.
If you are planning on adding the older certificates to prove that it has been your money all along, then it might be best to also add a LOE to avoid confusing the case agent.

cc: @ottawasenators

Good day House and a prosperous 2019 to us all.

In terms of POF, i intend to submit All Fixed deposit certificates , which i have been rolling over since December 2017 and a reference letter from same bank showing 6 months average balance.

Note: Fixed deposit sum actually originated from the said account and last significant flow was july of 2018. Fixed deposits are usually for 6 months

Hope i'm good to go in providing just the reference letter and fixed deposit certificates (in historical order) ?

I had same issue while processing mine.

What i did was to double check with my contact at school to be very very sure dey did not receive the verification mail.

After the above confirmation, school were still sure dey never received any mail from wes for my verification.

Armed with the above information i contacted WES using the contact form and also made phone call 2pm Nigerian time which was 9am their time, and i got through quickly to a very nice person on the phone who informed me that my confirmation was sent via post.

I screamed and said what tha hell? that will never get to my school .lolll

In summary, i requested that it be sent via email, of which dey did same day and i was notified via mail. Followed up with my contact the next day and voila verification mail was there.

philip2014:
My school is claiming they didn't receive my verification mail from Wes, please what can I do?its been 3months

Spot on! Selecting the country options to world wide did the trick. Thanks

rainazoe:
Did you change location/country to worldwide? Check the top menu options

Yea using a laptop, but i notice that i'm not able to select airport of origin as well as that of destination. The drop down menu doesn't populate

Godisincontrol:


Use your PC, Tab or Laptop. If you are using a phone change your settings on their page to desktop site.

How do you book flight via Egypt air? cos cant seem to get that done on their site

have to visit their office or something?

Peaceful2016:

I'm traveling in March too and I booked Egypt air but that cos it was cheaper and the flight from Cairo to Toronto is shorter than the flight from Addis Ababa to Toronto. Also Egypt air has a promo going on now from Lagos to Toronto... u can check it out

Hmmm, following up on all em discussion. I must say quite educative.

All the same, we need Christmas pix, landing gist etc

Lagos

Anyi3:


Lagos or Abuja?

Good day House and compliments of the season.

I was at IOM, Ikeja around 8 am today and scheduled medicals for the earliest possible date which is 8th January 2019.

But i noticed we have been playing ping pong via email shifting dates from 8th, 9th and now just got another email

informing me that earliest possible date is 10th.

I'm assuming they have backlog they cant complete this year hence what i'm experiencing?

Anyone with similar episode?

Sure i can. Just DM pls

ijoseda:
Erm, Boss, Can you help book an appointment for sometimes next week (28th or 29th)?

Should I come to your DM?

No problem, monday i resume with them. heheheheh

forevermine:


You're absolutely right. Sent a friend in Abuja to help book an appointment and make enquiries but she was told they were unavailable till Monday. One of their numbers isn't connecting while the other just rings with no response. Phew!

Meanwhile, went to IOM this morning and was informed that the unit/dept in charge of medicals ain't working today, but could check them on Monday.

Any one got contrary info. ?

Did PCC with Moshood this morning and still called him inspector, baba no even worry, na the bar him dey after.

Edit: you are actually right on the ASP thingy, juts checked his contact card which i collected from him and viola na ASP

ijoseda:
Dear All,

INSPECTOR Moshood is now ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE (ASP) Moshood.

Please take note.

I did my police clearance today. How come nobody mentioned that we should go with tissue paper or wipes to clean out hand after the fingerprinting stage?

I paid 5k but I made it clear to him say the extra 1k na dash!

Thanks for your help everyone.

BTW - I got my ITA yesterday. CRS - 444

Thanks. You are far too kind.

Zinggi:

If you are close to Ikeja, you can also pay them a visit.

Good Morning house,

Sincerely speaking, you genuinely have a good heart.

But please be careful as you embark on this high level of magnanimity. God Bless

aworldcitizen:
Thank you for your concern.

I thought through it and will go through repacking if anyone indicates interest.

Also it can't just be anybody. There will be strict selection process.

Though cant say anything about this, but it reminds me of those people on Quora who respond to questions with a high dose of sarcasm

einsteino:
A canadian on Youtube by the name Johnny Nonuts had this to say about Canadian healthcare:

Its tiring listening to Americans brag about Canadian healthcare services. They dont have a clue.

last year I had an incident where I started feeling increasing pressure in my left ear.

Eventually I couldn't hear anything out of it and the pain became so intense I barely managed to drive myself to the Trillium Hospital in Etobicoke. When I got there the the line up to register was almost out the door. Every seat in the waiting area was taken and people were lined up against the walls and every other standing room space available. Kids were screaming anf crying, people were on gernies and in wheelchairs all over the place. The look on most peoples faces was dead pan and depressing. It reminded me of a scene out of an apocalypse movie.

There was no way in hell I would have survived waiting there as my ear felt like it was going to explode at this point.
I drove myself back home and had a family member drive me all the way to Milton where I anticipated a better waiting time. When I got there only 5 people were in the waiting room but it still took me 5 hours to see a doctor. I thought I was going to go insane from the pain. Toward the 4 hour mark something in my ear had popped and the pain started to diminish.

The chairs in the room where the doctor saw me had duct tape holding what ever material was still on the arm rests and on the seats. Compared to the newest of hospitals, like in Oakville, this place was a dive and a step back into the early 70s. It needs a renovation badly.

Doctor couldn't tell me what the issue was. Saw me for 5 minutes and I went home.

I was fuming. For all the talk of our health care system being so great this experience was shit.

I had similar experiences in the past with brutal wait times and doctors that are overwhelmed.

An operation to my arm was my only positive experience but the MRI scan required before that took forever.

If you don't have an insurance plan through work you will be paying out the nose for dental and drugs and other services. Walk in clinic doctors are 50/50 in terms of help. Most have you out the door before you even have a chance to sit down and explain what's wrong. Good luck finding a Family Doctor.

When I see Trudeau brag about our healthcare system I want to puke. The guy has no understanding of what hard working average Canadians have to deal with. A spoiled man child.

Our system needs help big time. The amount of taxes we pay does not justify the level of service we experience on average.

Remember when patience had to wait in the hospital Tim Hortons in wheelchairs and gernies a few years ago because there was no place else to put them? yeah.....thats our healthcare system.

Re-strategize and find out what you need to improve on with W,S.

Too early to give up bro. on this journey its no retreat and no surrender

alwayspositive8:
