I think you can do medicals but you have to notify them that you are pregnant.

Nukkiz:
Hello my people. Please I need help especially from those who have done their medicals.
My question is it possible for a pregnant woman to do her medicals or she has to wait till after delivery.?

Congrats to you...sometimes it's best to follow up because they drag their feet a lot.

Hello guys, good evening
I have been a member of the silent readers association for a while now but something happened today and I decided to share to be an inspiration to someone else.
I was reading through this thread this morning and saw this post by @populargingo on MOD DIP IELTS remarking.

I couldn't contain my joy when I checked my mail at about 5:30pm today and saw an email informing me to fill out an attached form for my refund. I immediately checked online and my results came out as LRWS 8.5, 7, 7, 7.5.
The essence of this post is to inspire someone, don't hesitate to go for re-evaluation if you are sure of yourself
A big thank you to everyone on this thread for their immense contribution. You really don't know what you do for us.

Eniolakate:
Good people,
I would like to request for a reference letter from my previous employer while I await an ITA. I was told that it could take months to get them to sign the letter.


And again, will the letter be valid irrespective of the date it carries since I no longer work there? For example, if the letter is dated today and ITA comes next month..
It doesn't matter the date it was given to you as long as they can eventually confirm you worked there when contacted by CIC.

Use the address below or To whom it may concern.

I'm making this post because i've seen few people ask get no reply (Maybe i missed it). I've shared my experience in the past but doing it one more time won't hurt. I wrote IELTS for the 2nd time in April 2019 and got LRWS - 8.5, 7.5, 6.5, 7.5. based on advice and the confidence i had that i wrote well, i applied for a remark and got upgraded to 7.5.

The reason for this post is to say if you have high scores in other areas and you are confident in your writing/speaking, please apply for a remark as soon as possible.

The process for applying for MOD/IDP is this: send them an email requesting a remark (info@ielts.ng) including your exam number and centre number. they will send you the forms to fill as well as account/amount to pay.

Once you pay, send form back along with proof of payment. They will confirm receipt and inform you that your EOR is going to be reviewed. This next part is important... within a day or two, Follow up with an email to IDP Australia (idpieltsaustralia@idp.com) and copy IDP Nigeria (email above) confirming that they have received your request for remark.

Once they respond and confirm that its been received or looked into, you can now sit down and wait for the results.

P.S:- always tick remark for at least 2 sections just incase once changes and the other doesn't, that way you'll still get refund and money is not lost. unless of course you've maxed out points in other areas.

Hi,

Please i'd like to PM you here regarding Alberta nomination. I got notification of interest and i'd like to clarify the work reference portion with you.

thanks

BootyliciousHon:
Is it just me or is PPR gist getting scarce?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 8 by PopularGingo: 8:28pm On Aug 06, 2019
I've asked this on the PNP thread but hopefully someone here can help too...

Please has anyone successfully gotten PPR through AINP or at least gotten the nomination points? If yes, hopefully you can help answer my questions as i'm in the process of submitting my application. My NOC is 1241 Administrative Assistant.

1. Looking at the document checklist, there's a slot for certifications, licenses and registrations. In regards to my NOC, will i need to submit anything or process anything through alberta to add to my application?

2. Can I get a sample work reference template used for the Alberta nomination? The one i have doesn't include information about skills/knowledge required, work experience required as well as education required. This seems to be the format required for the AINP.

or will the reference letter i have suffice along with an job advert for said post stating all the above requirements?

3. Is it possible to add spouse after getting the nomination from Alberta, getting ITA and post AOR? Reason being we are not married yet but planning to and even if we rush and get married and i add him now, my crs score will drop.

4. What is the estimated duration of the AINP program from submission till one gets nomination (600 points)?

All response and input will be appreciated.

If you claim 2 or more certs, you have to evaluate both bsc and pgd if not your evaluation will come out as one year canadian pgd only. I know this because i had to evaluate both bsc and pgd to get 2 or more certificates with WES.

playces:
Pls house.. I salute ur effort in educating us here.. Please I need some clarifications.. I will be rounding up my pgd soon. For the process of ECA, m I to evaluate both my BSC and PGD or the highest (PGD). Though in the CRS simulator, I choose 2 or more CERTIFICATES. Wifey is the PA. She is in the process of rounding up her MA

Adunnee:
imo, these examiners ought to be sued. How and why did they mark you down?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 7 by PopularGingo: 9:10pm On Apr 26, 2019
soo I'd like to share my testimony regarding IELTS.

Last year I registered for the exam in may, I looked up sample questions and videos for listening, reading and speaking but totally ignored writing because confidence and the fact that I lived and schooled in the UK for 7 years. I went into the exam hall with the mindset that its just english and i've never had problems reading,writing or speaking. when results came out, I was humbled. I had LRWS - 7.5, 7.5, 6, 8. worst part i didn't know about EOR then so I focused on work and finding money to retake the test again.

In december, I made up my mind to retake the test in March. I struggled to get the funds and this time i started practicing all aspects and reading day and night using Liz, ieltsonline and ielts advantage. I focused on writing because i felt that was problem area, of course it didn't help that all my friends had failed writing too. Exam day came (23rd march), I wrote like my life depended on it recalling every point i had made in regards to getting at least a 7 for writing.

April 6th, result came out LRWS - 8.5, 7.5, 6.5, 7.5. I was weak, I mean i thought i wrote enough to get a 7. I made up my mind to remark, waited a week and paid the fee. this morning, i woke up thinking where i would find money to retake IELTS again. my mind was just focusing on the fact that it took long to get result meant it won't be changed. Lo and behold, this afternoon, while making my hair i got an email, writing has been upgraded to 7.5. i'm over the moon.

Moral of the story: if you believe in yourself that you've put in the effort and still get marked down especially in speaking and writing, please apply for EOR ASAP. Be confident in your abilities.

Sorry for long story o, I'm just excited and i thought everyone should here my story and hopefully i can encourage someone. Both exams were written with MOD Lagos

Mm.

Your no 4 is a concern. If school certificate is his highest degree, he should confirm his eligibility before starting the process. Check page 1 for how to calculate eligibility.
Ohh i meant he has neco instead of waec. he has OND and Bsc which is two or more certificates. thanks all the same.

Thank you

Topsmamen:
1 - Please take a look at NOCs 5243 well. "Designers in this unit group conceptualize and produce designs for [s]film, television, theatre and video productions,[/s] garments and textiles". 5223 is another to read through. Let him check his experience and match against these NOCs to see which best fits his job.

2/3 - See my Nairalander sis here who applied as self-employed (her work experience - Print Production Manager).

Please can anyone answer?

PopularGingo:
I’m asking on behalf of my boyfriend, he wants to apply for express entry. He’s self employed, business registered since 2013. My question is this:

1. What will be his NOC code- He draws sketches & design on computer then give instructions to tailors to sew them. He also brands clothes and caps with pictures and designs. He makes clothings on special order.
He thinks his NOC should be http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/Profile.aspx?val=4&val1=5243&ver=16
Or something graphics related. 5241

2. Most of his payment was either cash or paid into his personal account. Will showing his personal bank statement be good enough evidence since no business account?

3. How will he show hours of self employment equivalent to the 30hrs a week full time requirement?

4. He’s submitting neco because thats what he has, what’s the procedure for sending neco?
