Denerystormborn:
Hello brothers and sisters. I have a question.when submitting my wes application,for the required documenrs,I put my university information and also my secondary school information. I didn't know,at the time,that only my university information would suffice and that my secondary school certificate was already part of the required documenrs automatically. Now,when I check my profile on the wes platform,in the place for required documents,I have my university info which has the secondary school examination,scratch card,university transcript and university certificate and then my secondary school info again,making two required documents. Should I remove the second document which is the secondary school which is already among the list of things in the university doc requirements or should I just leave it as it is? I do t want it to be that wes is waiting for document again from my secondary school thinking it is another institution.

Abeg,who understands my question and can help me with answers?

Congratulations to everyone who got PPR and crossed the IELTS hurdle.

Welcome back Ifeoma77, but you know you do share some of these villainous traits? You're witty sacarstic(in a hilarious way, 007 sacarsm) and you come off as super strong.
Don't mind me I just missed you.

Ifeoma77:
lmfao
The reason I love villains is because they're diabolically brilliant, always two steps ahead of everyone, witty/sarcastic and super strong.
Bubu is a negative on all 4 points, his movie also plays in slow motion
That will be a hard pass

Congratulations @deboks. It's a happy ending , go forth and prosper in your new home

Personally I find your markings very interesting and just. Pls carry on my lady.

ladymarshall:
Since I am sensitive to the desire of the majority in group forums like these, if most of you are uncomfortable with my marking style and would prefer another, please indicate. I will humbly step down. I don't respond well to soft threats It's nothing personal really, just for the benefit of all.

Congratulations on your PPR. I really admire your courage , glad all went well.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY....IT’S PPR!!!!!

The speaking test is more or less like a discussion, it's going to be difficult for you not to be able to answer a question. Just keep talking, doesn't have to be the truth. Visit Liz IELTS page and see past test topics, you can practice with those.

teechedah:
What of if they asked a question I did not know, can someone tell them you don't know the answer?

You need to keep practicing and find a quiet place cos distractions could be affecting your score. I was getting something like that during my practice but on test day I got the required 8.5. Also I think the actual test is easier than the Cambridge practice test. Keep at it and goodluck.

benatokwu:
Hello house,

Hi guys
It's been a while I visited nairaland, life and other stuff. But I just want to say congratulations to everyone who scaled one hurdle or the other.
Special congratulations to Ifeoma77. I know it's been a while you got your good news, but I'm here celebrating. Good luck sis.

Wow! It's been a minute, guess I went to vote and a lot has happened.
Special congratulations to @Tojued and @Ramj. I celebrate you guys, you have been mighty helpful on here. I pray you find favour in your new country.

Congratulations to all ITA clinchers. I wish y'all speedy processing

Ifeoma77:
Ayam telling you! The longer they take, the more violent the asoebi colours. Right now it's pepper-red skirt, okra-green blouse, gele that is the off-white shade of unripe pawpaw, cover-shoe that is the shade of the foam that comes out when you wash bitterleaf, last but not the least, handbag is the exact purple shade of Thanos' blood.

Dia fada!!

.loollll, thanos' blood got me

Decision to migrate:
November 2017: At this point, it dawned on me that my stay in the UK was coming to an end. I possibly couldn't believe my eyes until i got a mail from Home Office reminding me that i had some months left on my Visa. I was like na so this people wan thank me for spending millions running a Masters programme? At this point, i pinched myself and i was like..."oboy wetin u wan go do for naija"? To start from the scratch? Mbanu !!! I thought of applying for scholarships in the UK and US but for the UK, i was like never!!!.. not after breaking my back all in d name of warehouse jobs...lolzz omor i huzzle shaaa oooo. Options like residency in Australia and Canada became my best bets but I rather chose the Canada route and came across this thread..the rest is history.

IELTS:
My first IELTS test was in the UK, and i prepared for two weeks. First IELTS was LRWS: 7.5, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5...I was so excited thinking that was gonna fetch me a good CRS not knowing i needed atleast an 8.0 in the listening band. I really appreciate the great guys here who encouraged me to retake the test. Got back to Nigeria in January 2018 and decided to retake IELTS, this time around in March. Had ample time to prepare and was very much relaxed in the hall. My second IELTS test was LRWS: 8.0, 7.0, 7.5, 7.5 which was enough for me. As for the materials i used, i basically used online platforms like ieltliz, ieltsbuddy.com and ielts-up.com.

ECA
This was straightforward as i evaluated just my Masters degree. WES was at my service and did the needful. Being a foreign degree, it was a smooth process for me, and i had my evaluation done within a month or thereabout.

MEDICALS
This was quite straightforward. Had mine at Prime Medicals in Port Harcourt. Unfortunately, they are no longer part of the process.

PROOF OF FUNDS(POF)
Used 100% gift deed from my dad. This was transferred to my savings account and transfer document for that was secured. Many have been of the opinion that notarizing the gift deed isn't necessary. Personally i notarized mine. For the gift deed, i simply followed the format put up by wakanowdotcom. His post was really helpful. Other documents i submitted are:
>6-month bank statement showing inflow of cash and transfer of POF.
>Also got a printout of currency converter (oanda and xe.com) as at day of submission,
>LOE explaining source of funds and bulk sum and,
> bank reference letter.
NO PAYSLIPS WAS INCLUDED. I contemplated including one, but when i got necessary advice from the likes of Tojued and Newmum0615, i had to submit my application without including payslips. Happytbaby, glitteringstar, ugoiyke79e, thanks for all your mails. I so disturbed these guys and trust me, they were of great help.

EMPLOYMENT:
This was the point i needed my God to step into the matter...lolzzzz.. I actually worked in a firm where i was paid in cash, and all i did was to get a reference letter from my boss in CIC format. I also included an LOE stating the reason i was paid in cash. It was indicated on the letter that i was paid in cash. As for online presence, the firm had no online presence like a website, and i had to including a screenshot of the firm's registration page on the CAC's website. Lastly, i included my boss's complimentary card just incase they decide to reach him directly. In all, i committed everything to God. One prayer i kept praying was, God please blind them from all my inadequacies and trust me this prayer worked like magic..hahahahha.

PCC:
I applied for Nigeria and UK PCC. Mr Moshood was of great help when i applied for the Nigeria PCC. Though he made some errors on my PCC, but Lucia was very helpful as she helped me apply for another and scanned it to me.

ADRs:
I recieved my first ADR on Sept 20th and it was to fill Schedule A form, of which i did immediately and submitted.
Second ADR came in October, which was to make payment for RPRF. Made this payment immediately.
Third ADR came in and lo and behold, i thought it was PPR not knowing i had another form to fill up. This time around, it had to do with filling the IMM5406 form (additional family information). As usual, i responded swiftly.

GCMS NOTES:
Ordered first set of gcms notes on the 24th of November, 2018, and for over 60days it wasn't delivered. Mailed them severally and kept getting all sort of excuses. Atlast, had to re-order and it arrived on the 9th of Feb, 2019. Everything look cool. The wait continued

In all these, it's been a long wait...some will say long overdue but i must say it is worth the wait. At some point i almost lost it 'cos i was beginning to get fed up with responses from CIC agents. Disturbing CIC agents became a hobby to me, as i kept calling and calling...dats how i spoke to one agent thrice on different occassions..lolz...but shun, this lady's voice is something else...often felt at home each time i got connected to her. Will miss her though...hope we get to meet in Cannyland. Psychologically, this process drained me..imagine friends always wanting to know wats going on in this life of dis dude who just got back from UK...enemies at the gate i must say...but God pass them. I no wan mention all dos "cats" (babes) wey don chop my UK money run....lolzzz.. dey go soon come back to chop Canny money...Chop keee una there...hahahahaha...

Emotionally, it was hard for me...thinking about the whole process and thinking about a sick dad who keeps asking..."my son, when are they gonna send the mail?...are you sure this thing will work out?...it became a regular thing that each time i watched his face and have the thoughts of FSW Express Entry, i simply got weak. One thing is for sure, he gave me a big smile early this morning when i got the golden mail..been a while i saw him smile though. One thing is for sure, i am happy he is strong to see this become a reality....no worry, na canny doctors go treat u las las. Maybe all those great doctors on this thread.

I must say a huge thank you to everyone who chipped in one info or the other, you guys were of great help. Smslive, indeed you are a great oracle. Fresty, we global now !!!! Cheee !!! thanks for being a buddy indeed...God bless you real good.

To my family...u know yourselves, AOR August Whatsapp group and August ITA whatsapp group, you guys rock.. Love y'all.. Mo, u aiit? init?

To the newbies or those in the process, stay strong, stay focused, asked questions, i repeat ask questions.. read...read...read too...this journey is one that requires even the smallest person beside u.. Throw away pride and ego, and be humble enough to seek information. It is key. ABOVE ALL, BE CLOSE TO YOUR GOD...IT MIGHT SOUND FUNNY, BUT TRUST ME NOT EVERYONE WHO SEES YOU GOING TRU DIS PROCESS WISH U WELL...HENCE, BE CLOSE TO YOUR GOD.

TIMELINE:

One funny thing that happened prior to when i got the ghost update yesterday morning was that, i ordered for second GCMS notes in the morning, and after some minutes i got the ghost update, trust igbo guy like me naa.. i hurriedly mailed gcmsbuddy to cancel my order and initiate a refund. Indeed God was ahead of me.

My bad, it's actually 37 hrs a week

quote author=capsule post=75855554]
I thought it's minimum of 30hrs/week.
I'm I missing out?[/quote]

Whichever role you had a full-time job of at least 1 yr or its equivalent in part time job. Remember full-time job is 40 hrs a week. As for the business, if you can show sufficient proof then you are good, but with no bank documents I don't know how you would pull that off. Let the seniors in the house assist with this.

ThePath:
Hello. I’m here again. Please candid advice.
Which would you suggest I create a profile with
My certificate as a lawyer (done law school too)
A baker
A business owner ( I have a registered company , But don’t have a company bank account because of a few glitches)

Don't know about CES policy but most evaluation bodies strongly discourage sending documents together. It may not be honoured, to be safe I advise you send them separately.

Abiodunnn:
Good day my people,
Please i need some clarifications on Transcripts palava.. I'm requesting for my hubby's MSc and my own BSc transcripts to be sent to CES, i want to confirm if its possible to send both documents in the same envelope so as to cut some costs. I've registered both of us with CES and we have our different identification numbers, I'm thinking this should not be a problem since our ID nos will be written on our cover letters.
What do you think?
Thank you guys.

The people who have "crossed " to Canada are in the other thread, but it's up to you how much physical cash you carry, just declare it if it's 10,000 dollars and above at your point of entry.

Ologunsunny:
To all the people that have crossed to Canada, please like how much is it advisable to hold, am going alone, I mean the amount to hold out of the proof of funds cos I can't hold everything at a time

I really hope this is the case, cos I've been having sleepless nights over their coming elections.

iaatmguy:
naaa, conservatives can't stop express entry, actually they initiated it, the only thing they can do, is to make it stringent. Canada needs people to fill up the void, being created by massive retirement in their workforce. the only thing i see conservatives doing (if they win), is to clamp down HARD on refugees, tighten the border, frown at illegal immigrants.
