Good job dear

Please edit your first post, each paper is now £77 effective today 1st August

It means registration £77

The 4 papers also £77 *4

Best of luck to each and everyone of us

Wao. Ok

LecturerIFE:
Obj.

How long are the exams?
Cert BA exams are 120 minutes long. BA1, BA2 and BA3 will each contain 60 objective test questions, while BA4 will contain 85 objective test questions.More info here



My colleague wrote two of the four exams in a day. Considering each exam is two hours long, writing the four exams at once may be difficult. I'd advise you call CIMA Nigeria for guidance.



Should not be difficult. But then again, only you know your ability. Good luck

Thanks alot ooo. Really helpful

LecturerIFE:
No. Difficulty is relative. For your background, you may consider it difficult, but trust me, it's not impossible.

I have a colleague who completed the 4 papers in 6 weeks... her educational background played a big role though.

True...... Difficulty is relative.

I guess if I give myself 4months of study i can take on this CIMA of a thing .

LecturerIFE:
Yes

Ok, thank you. Did u write? Is it difficult?

CoolOg:
The Charteted Accountants have a paper to write plus added advantage of Canadian CPA

From that image up there, we are only writing that first part right? ...that B1-B4.?

Is it an exam to be scared of?? Please who has written

I created this thread for those of us that need the extra CiMA qualification to count as Two or more degree and increase CRS score .


Who has written? How was it? Can other peoole that have no background in Economics or accounting write and pass?? Atleast within 6months of studying??

I wish too go for CIMA, i studied microbiology but fear no gree me as i am afraid i have no background in it.

The exam is a 4 paper exam, Materials available on astranti.com. Exams are CBT; visit cimaglobal.com to register. Registration is 77GBP while each paper is 77GBP

1. Register with cima on https://www.cimaglobal.com/Starting-CIMA/Starting-CIMA/Registration/ fee is 77£. Please pay online, if you pay to the Nigerian office, your registration will take weeks.

2. Send your credentials to CIMA. you'll get the email to send it after registration

3. Study for your exams with Astranti.com and Opentuition.com

4. Exam registration is 55£ per paper.. Exam is electronic, you choose a convenient time, date and center ( any pearsonVUE center).,The various centres and their addresses will appear during registration, so you can choose a center near you. DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY TO THE TEST CENTER.. You're to book for your exam atleast two days to the exam day.

5. You will get a provisional result after each exam, then details will be uploaded to your account after like 2 days.. pass mark is 100/150. There are 60 questions for 2hrs for BA1-3.. then 85 questions for BA4, 2 hrs

9. Once you have gotten your WES reference No, send an email to cima to prepare your transcripts and letter of good standing.. Also tell them you want to arrange for a courier service.. This is to expedite the process because cima uses regular post which takes weeks to get to Canada.. Follow up with a call to CIMA.. I requested for mine and it was ready for pick up the following day.. Remember to put your WES reference no while booking the courier.. I paid about 65£ for the courier and it got to WES in 3days...

use the crs tool

Calm down, new people dont even know what the crs tool is .

Mafolusola:
This platform is quite interesting. I also desire to relocate to Canada through the express entry. I'm a civil servant working with a federal University and i have 3 kids. I am 33yrs and my husband is a business man. I have a master degree too. Could you explain who should be the PA and the chances we have?
Thanks

You would be the principal applicant because you have a masters degree . If your husband has any degree he can apply with you and you can both write the English test IELTS ..... Your main sucess will depend on how well you peform on the test as well as your husband .

If your husband has no cert or if you feel he will perform poorly in the english test you might have to take the journey alone for now .

Theres a site you can calculate your score to check your chances and know where you stand, that is the CRS calculator ..... U can just type it on google and it will take you there . Scroll down and fill the form, it will tell you where you stand ....


Read from page one and keep reading till you become familiar with the things being spoken about here . No one can explain everything to you, ..just read and read ....

LecturerIFE:


Make I go write ACCA.

Is ACCA easier than CIMA? .. I'm so confused on which one.

OK we can either write PTE or IELTS for Express entry?

Just hearing of PTE for the first time.

perma:
Any one willing to help?

Your masters degree is enough I believe.

It will give you the maximum score unless you have a PHD or Doctorate....

Over to the gurus in the house. .

This one CRS cut off keeps increasing. God help us all o.

Pls do they have writting centre in the east? Like Enugu, Anambra or Delta state??

benatokwu:
Hello house,

Please I need your advice.November will make it 3 years since I started working and presently am doing my pgd ,which I will be done with by December ,but i don't know how long it would take before the result would be ready. I've been reading for Cima but haven't registered yet. Should I write the Cima or wait for my pgd ?.Am worried because I don't know how long this Express entry is going to be on.Am Also yet to write Ielts. The Age is 27. I kindly await your advice.Thanks

Your profile is ok, no need for hurry, at 27 waiting for ur pgd will not affect you .


Please about CIMA, .... Can a microbiology graduate write/take CIMA?? ... Do they need you to have certain accounting qualification/background before you can apply?


Basically i just want to know what qualification one need to have to apply.

Please i need this answer urgently, hence the thread.

Im finishing my bsc this year and wish to enroll into a graduate diploma immidiately .... While also serving .

I know that for Masters you need your NYsc discharge certificate during screening but what of Pgd diploma? Is it thesame

Please house, Is NYSC compulsry for Pgd diploma? Not Masters? ..cuz i wont be done by the time i wish to apply for a pgd diploma at noun.

?

Please does anyone know how much it cost to study any of these diploma programs? Not PGD diploma but these regular ones :

DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES
a) Business Communication 1201
b) Entrepreneurship 1205
c) Financial Management 1206
d) Marketing 1207
e) Medical Office Practice 1208
f) Arabic and Islamic Studies 1218


And also what is their duration?

Silversurfer1:
Please go to CIC's website and used the CRS calculator. You would get at least 468 when last I checked with your credentials and a high IELTS score

Yes but with only 1year work experience? I think the people that scored 450+ with my credentials had 3years work experience ...?

Silversurfer1:
I was wondering too. Two or more certificates (one must be a degree) with an 8,7,7,7 score in IELTS is 460+. Don't know where this person got this calculation from.

I think the diffrence lies in the work experience, ...you probably have 3 years, ..and I havw only 1 year.

TITILOLA88:
Good morning,

As a lawyer she could evaluate with IQAS(check pg1), which willgive maximum points for a masters degree. This body takes a while to finish evaluation, between 3-6 months.

She could evaluate her degree and also her certificate from Lawschool, using WES(kindly refer to pg 1 again). WES's evaluation is about 7 points lesser than IQAS, but very fast.

I used IQAS, but some one here took a screen shot of IRCC's response to whether the IRCC website supercedes the evaluating body's report. Kindly be guided as the VO still has the prerogative to accept/reject anything that he/she is in doubt of in an application.

Shalom!

Ok, very well then! Thank you!

sambless2013:

Gracias! Thank you, will let her know this.

bozz007:
You can either apply to WES by submitting transcripts from both school and Law school to earn 2 or more degrees

OR

Apply to IQAS by submitting transcripts from school to earn professional degree.


WES will cost more as you will have to pay law school for transcripts but it takes lesser time compared IQAS.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

DboyizGood:
BCS, CIMA, B.TEC Diploma, QUALIFI Diploma

Thank you. I appreciate the reply.

And please do you know how Lawyers qualifications are evaluated. That's is can they claim 2 or more certificate?

Since they have NBA and the one issued them from school? ...my younger sister is a lawyer, ..im asking for her.

Pls house, what are the various 1 year courses one can undertake to boost crs score? Im asking for my sibling.

Is one year polytechnic diploma an option? ...who has gone down here and what did u do?

Prettiepearlz:
Why is your spouse not accompanying? You will provide proof of funds for your number of family whether accompanying or not. Why can’t you apply as spouse accompanying so you can claim point from your spouse’s education and English test so as to boost your point. Spouse can just do a short landing and head back to Nigeria as soon as he or she gets PR card.

As for your profile since you didn’t indicate which one is LRWS, I assume it is. With that your CRS score is 446, which was okay ast at the year 2018 but for 2019, no one knows at the moment, I wouldn’t totally rule out your chances but with the situation of things now, you may need to chill very well in the pool and wait till the CRS score drop to that point. You would get more point if your spouse accompanies so as to get points from education and English test. Spouse accompanying is better even if he/she wouldn’t live there as compared to doing sponsorship route which from what I read here is time consuming.


To the seniors, I stand to be corrected.

My DH has shown no interest whatsoever in it, ... He just feels its out of reach, thats why i thought its something i can just run myself. But thanks for ur advice i will push him harder.

nomad26:
My dear, I thinkyou should be able to do this yourself. Here's the link to the crs tool: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
Also read pagr 1 and thoroughly absorb IRCC''s website on express entry
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry.html
It is better for you to take ownership of your application now so you don't waste money, this is a costly process. Good luck.

Allright, i appreciate. Thank you!

funshobabs:
Your score is 446 that is if you have L9 R8 S8 and W7.if not then the score will drop. Best wishes

sayveetwice:
Lmao. Overly flydey worry am. Nothing concern wes with your grade since its ECA. You should only worry about 3rd class while doing course by course evaluation. Which is not what you're doing.

Ahhhh! Pheww! Thank you !!!!!

I dont know much about WES evaluation. ... Hubby finished with a 3rd class, will it still fly? Can he use a 3rd class BSC result?
