I got the contact of @adeboye11. He advertised on this thread about processing WAEC for WES with a fee of #28,000.
Sent him a picture of my passport and WAEC certificate and he went to do it that same very day on 19th March, I got my tracking ID from WAEC on 30th March saying my package will get to WES on 3rd April.

If you won't be able to do it yourself, you can contact him on 08101047979,

Please, if this person is legit, I need to contact him for mine.

I hope he is. Is he on this forum?

Please, with this current WES requirements, how do I send my degree certificate to WES? Can I take it to DHL office myself, but that will mean that the stamp and seal WES requires will not be on the envelop. How Do I send it, So that the envelop and package also meets WES requirements?
I was advised by someone to use hellofax. But WES specified, by postal mail or courier. Are they the same?

topacs:
My transcript has been sent to IQAS from my sch.... DHL showing received and signed but it has not been updated on my portal, do i need to email them to notify them..

Congrats.

Please, with regards to current requirements for WES evaluation, do I have to get WAEC to send my WAEC result directly to WES? If yes. How do I do this?
Or do I just mail my copies of the WAEC results to them(WES)?
And also the required scratch card, how do I do that. Please.

jazzy:
Congrats to the IELTS and PPR Clinchers... Your stories give us hope.. Well I ve got some good news of mine.. Wes has finally updated oooo.. My expected date of completion is around the corner. The 20/35 business days didn't apply o..

My evaluation will be out 3 days before my IELTS results will be out (re- writing on the 6thof April). I m so excited. God willing I should get ITA in the first draws of May.. Minimum IELTS scores should get me a CRS of 462.. I pray for great results o... Back to studying.. Good evening family. #Wemove..

Please, how did you handle the WAEC part as a requirement by WES? Did you go to WAEC office to give them the request form so they can send your result to WES? And also the scratch card form.

I'm not to clear on the current WES requirement as stated in their website and how to go about IG.
Pls help.

Hello boss, asides the customary WES fee, I have spent the following on WES ALONE so far:

1. WAEC- 28,000
2. UI TRANSCRIPT: ABOUT 22,000
3. LAW SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT: 34,000

I think like me, you should make WES your contingency plan. One never knows with IQAS...[/quote]

Pls, how can I contact you. I will like to speak with you to know how it has been for you and the steps. Pls,
thanks.

missKeri:
I used WES and evaluation summary was 6 years of professional study in Optometry

I have not evaluated mine yet. I just got information that WES evaluates all degrees as 4years bachelor degree, which is why I am trying to confirm from anyone who has gone through it, particularly the optometrists. So I can avoid that. I want to use a body that will evaluate it as a masters degree equivalent and a professional degree which it is.

sinie:
How come WES evaluated yours for 3yrs a friend of mine used WES and the result was 6 years.

CIC did not specify a body for optometrists like they did Med and Pharm, so I guess you can use any Evaluating body.

And don't listen to those saying its not a professional course because it is...

Pls, has any optometrist in the house assessed through IQAS? What is the time frame and requirements, and also for WES

Thanks. Pls, how did you go about it. I really want to avoid issues that will reduce my points. Which is why I am contemplating IQAS and WES.

Pls, which body will give the ECA for optometrist. Medicine and pharmacy assessment is done by their repective councils in Canada.
And WES only evaluates degree as 4years bachelor degree, which it is not. So which body evaluates optometry degree as a masters degree equivalent, which it is.

Pls, I really need help and answers.
I was considering IQAS.

Congrats

Silent reader but not anymore, lol. Decided on this journey January 2019.

Wrote ielts 09 Feb (first attempt)

LRWS: 8.5, 8.5, 8, 8. Overall band= 8.5. I saw my result and could not believe. I still think maybe it is not mine and they switched results.

I am grateful to @Eshay for introducing me to the Cannyland journey, this platform and thread, guiding me and sharing her experiences while I prepared for the exams. You are my angel. May our dreams come true

I prepared for a month.

Listening: Practice and concentration is the key. I practiced at least 3 times a week. First results were poor but over time it got better. Know the scores you need to get an 8 (36/40 minimum) and never give up until you can score it in at least 6-7 practice tests consecutively. @happyme31 is so right, that listening tip helped me too especially part 2, 3, and 4. I remember it was a lady that scored so high in part 6 that gave that tip. Practice writing out keys parts of the conversation as you hear them, especially for those academic and touring conversations (part 3 and 4). This will be so useful for answers that are synonyms of what was spoken. For instance, in part 3 of my exam, the supervisor told the student that her presentation was too sudden and the answer was Abrupt. She told the student that she was also too slow, too fast in her speaking and the answer was Irregular. Writing out that conversation helped me identify the synonyms as I rechecked. In those sections, where you have A, B, C options, You would waste a lot of time and lose concentration if you are looking for the answers while the conversation is on. Write out key words and points. Part 1 and sometimes part 2 are straightforward, no need to write all, just listen carefully. If you miss an answer, MOVE ON FAST, don't panic or think about it.

Reading: Skimming and scanning are the keys. The answers are sequential through the passage but they can be tricky. In passage 3 of my exam, the last two answers were in the second paragraph because it mentioned two sentences about outdoor jobs, while the rest of the paragraphs were about indoor jobs. When you cannot find the answer, move on immediately and finish the rest, then return to those unknown questions and read the passages carefully sentence by sentence in that paragraph you think it is, you will find it, depending on how much time you have. While practicing, I noticed my weakness was the difference between False and Not Given, so I spent more time on those parts.

Speaking: Telling a story in part 2 and talkativeness in all the parts are the keys. As @happyme31 pointed out, Jay's videos are the best. I also watched past interviews of band 9 candidates and asked myself why they were deserving of band 9. They never stopped talking and used the right vocabulary for the topic. Talk so much and allow the examiner to get tired and stop you (Be a talkative on that day, even if you are not naturally one). It does not matter if you have no idea. If you are unlucky like me to be asked about tough topics like Global Trade, importation and exportation between countries and sustainability in businesses in part 3, still say anything. I paused and told the examiner that this was a tough question because economics is not my strength but I will answer it anyhow based on my layman's knowledge. I used the example of computer village, Nigeria's population and our hustling spirit as the country's best export. I knew I did not make sense but I was determined to keep talking. I just kept thinking of President Trump who says rubbish with so much confidence and still gets supporters, lol.

Writing: Structure and complex sentences are the keys. Just like @happyme31 said, Jay's video was my only guide. Please use the first 2 minutes to understand the question and what is required. Then use the next three minutes to draw an outline in your question paper of points you want to write. May a sketchy outline so you do not get stuck in the middle of your writing especially for Task 2. Practice using different kinds of sentences (passive, complex, compound questions, etc. Avoid writing in simple sentences). Also, use transitional words like your life depends on them (However, even though, although, yet, still, nevertheless, etc). Use uncommon words as long as they make sense (critics, cousine, turbulence, flabbergasted, etc, write like those village headmasters of those days who use big grammars that make sense). Also keep writing, do not stop, collect extra sheet (you can only do this if you have drawn an outline of your ideas).

For task 2, fill at most three pages or three and a half. Structure is everything in task two, there is a template for writing from Jay's video (introduction, four to five paragraphs for body and elaborate on your ideas, then conclusion). Elaborate on each point in each paragraph (use examples, quote researches and studies (whether they are true or not, the examiner does not care about whether that research really exists), use your personal experiences as a student, worker, mother, father, Nigerian, hustler, business man anything). As you write, imagine you are a debater in the room trying to convince, expantiate, elaborate or prove to your listener about points. Finally, don't be like me, please proofread, allocate the last five minutes to proof read and edit all your tasks. I think I was only fortunate that I write error-free sentences on first draft, but maybe if I had edited, I would have scored higher (maybe, or maybe I scored lower but God touched the examiner's heart). Editing helps and might improve your score by .5 which might make a big difference.

Most importantly, avoid over-confidence. This exam is about technique and strategy, not English knowledge. I am at the level of a native speaker and very advanced user in my profession but I practiced like it was German or Chinese I was preparing for. And after writing the exams, pray, pray, pray to any God you believe in.

Apologies for the long post but I just wanted to help like previous posters in part 6 have helped me too.

ECA is in the final evaluation stage with Wes. Once it comes, I will dive into the pool. I am currently gathering post-ITA docs because my CRS score is really high (thanks to IELTS scores) as our seniors here have advised potential CRS high scorers.


Fingers crossed for us all in every stage of our journeys. May our dreams come true. It will end in praise.
