So sorry about the way you feel. And happy birthday!!! Your life is worth celebrating!
Listening and reading cannot be remarked because the results don’t change so do not waste your resources. I’d advice you study some more, use ielts online tests.com Jay and Alex on YouTube... Liz on YouTube and also any other resource you can find.
Try again.. I’m sure u’d better. Cheer up.

Hs anyone told you that you'll make a great parent? Before sleeping yesterday, I rumenated on your words for several hours..... I am gingered to try again.. With better experience though. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate

I like the way you packaged your question and followed it up. I'm interested too o, maybe just like everyone else, at landing a 'valid job offer'. I have a sister who age has dealt a heavy blow and who's been asking me for a short cut around this but till today, I've disappointed her in that regard. Over to you @ednut1 @Lagbaja88 @MissMa01 and @ all relevant stakeholders.

LoL! Thanks, bro. We must achieve this at last!

Awwnn... I wish I could. But I only simulated the scores to have an idea of what my score would look like were I to apply. Cheers!

Hello, I did IELTS three times and I can confidently tell you acing it isn't as difficult as most people think.

First, study as many questions as you can. If you can treat 10 years past questions at least twice, you're good to go.
Regarding writing, ensure you know "linking words" very well, use at least 15-20 difficult words in your essay and ensure your essay exceeds the word count, you'll be fine. For speaking, lay your hands on as many materials as you can, go through all the topics and build ideas around them all. Also, memorise as many vocabularies as you can for each topic. For listening and reading, adhere to the first advice.

1st attempt : L 6.5 W 7 R 7.5 S 6.5
2nd attempt, L 8.5 W 6.5 R 8.5 S 7.5
3rd attempt: L 8.5 W 7.5 R 8 S 7.5.

hello am new here and will like clarifications in some things for Canada express entry application:
I have BSC in Nutrition and Dietetics and PGD in peace conflict and strategic studies, all in Nigerian university. I have also done wes for the both degree as two or more certificates. I have over 3 years work experience from my BSC course of study Nutrition and Dietetics and worked in humanitarian sector as a coordinator in crisis affected area, I will like to know what NOC I will use for my application, That of the BSC or the PGD (kindly note I have work experience relating to just the BSC(

another question is: can I also apply for PNP with my BSc course (Nutrition and Dietetics), I want to know if its eligible to apply for PNP with my course of study (Nutrition and Dietetics)

Gabem:
Please i sent my SSCE OND and HND for evaluation to WES but when the report came they only evaluated SSCE and HND the summary of the report "Diploma (three years) and a post Graduate certificate (one year)" I contacted them to request for my OND why is not evaluated their response was that they determined that the documentation was sufficient also IRCC only requested for Highest completed credential but if i wish to include the OND i should upgrade my report and this comes with additional payment. please can i do should take the report like that since the wes itself said its sufficient? or upgrade to include my OND? thanks

Really? How possible is that! Does it mean that SSCE cert. and BSc will also be evaluated by WES as 2 certificates?

473 is still a very good score. Even if you miss the first draw, you won't miss the next two draws. Unless you have a birthday approaching any time soon.

Uzland:

Thanks, dear. Yes, I noticed that the high score was mostly brought about by the 'Valid job offer', cos I recalculated without it and got 473 instead.
My question now is, how possible is it to get a valid job offer while you're outside of Canada? What are the usual requirements by employers to give a job offer to someone outside Canada? Thanks.

Lotusgoddess:
Good evening house. Please it’s been over three weeks I applied for EOR but haven’t received a feedback. Has anyone here experienced such? It’s just for writing and speaking.

Secondly, am I to send my TRF before or after EOR ie after receiving a remark? I wrote with BC

Keep checking your online portal.

Sometimes BC in the UK update your score online but BC in Naija takes a longer time to notify you via email.

Landnaira5:


Hello did you enroll? I heard his classes are kind of pricey so I’m looking for three other people to join a group class with.

Good afternoon Landnaira5, kindly tell me the cost implication of the group class I'm interested please.

if you were an employer in canada would you rather go for people on ground with pr or go all the way for someone who you will incur immigration costs and time( you dont even know if their application will take 6 months or 18 months plus covid wahala and restrictions). They also have to prove to government they couldn't find someone in canada. Most employers dont have that time or want that smoke.

noc has nothing to do with degree. Your noc is based on your actual job description or occupation. Pnp is also not based on course of study but occupation. Visit the pnp websites of different provinces to see if your occupation is in demand or not

Good morning people, please is there any update on the FSW draw or an anticipated date for the draws.... IELTS don almost burn finish oo.

only ircc knows that

Uzland:

I don't think so, cos i actually sent 3 certificate (about 3yrs ago) then wes requested for SSCE, so I sent ssce, OND and HND. I don't know why they decided to be silent about OND but in the summary of the report it was 2 certificate which means OND i& HND and SSCE is just the Diploma

OK. That means it's not an option. Thanks a lot, bro.

CaptSolitude:
Thanks a lot guys for your contributions on this platform. They’ve been helpful.

I intend to engage WES for education evaluation and have:

1. BSC
2. MBA
3. Have done intermediate level, ACCA (F1 - F9), although I had few exemptions ( I think, F1 - F3).
4. NIM certification
5. ACIB certification ( Chartered Banker)

Please, what is relevant to ask WES to evaluate?

MBA is fine

You should consider taking another test. No one knows, not even IRCC can tell when the next draw will happen, just God.

That’s a LMIA conversation. You and your employer will know the requirements or your immigration lawyer/consultant.

I don’t think it will be fair if we do this research for you.
First of all, what’s your IELTS score and your age?
That will determine if you should go for FSW or PNP.
Since we don’t know your job description or role,you should check the NOC database and see which aligns with your job description then we can chip in if it is suitable. To be eligible for FSW you need to have work experience in either NOC 0,A and B.
Do the basic research, read page 1 of this thread, use the search button to see if someone has asked the same question and in the same field as you thereafter ask specific questions.

Please do anyone know about a group for COPR holders who wants to travel to Canada before its expiry. Kindly add me

Thanks

Good morning group members,

Can a graduate student in a Canadian University use Teaching Assistant as part time job while applying for PR?
Considering the fact that the working hours per week is equivalent to the required weekly working hours.

Thanks

It will not work..because that's not considered a valid Canadian experience.If you are a student in Canada on study permit, your part time job either as teaching assistant or otherwise does not count until you have graduated and have a proper and valid work permit..then work experience will count subsequently

Belle35:

You're still single, Alternatively you can marry a Canadian man and immigrate easily


Abeg where we go find Canadian man biko, me sef I am single and really wish to marry a Canadian o

You wan marry Canadian guy because of papers..then he brings you over there, then you reveal your true colours abi then dump him like we see in many cases..lol Better forget that and hustle it yourself..most guys over there are now smarter.

ahmedgafar7:
my people does NYSC play any role in this process, especially for a pharmacist. I’m asking in case you choose not to serve.

I used NYSC and like they say the rest is history..just identify the appropriate NOC aligned with the NYSC role and get the appropriate reference letter and you are good to go.

I must advise those writing IELTS soon:

For reading, start from the questions at the end of the booklet ie answer Q20-40 before 0-20. Conquer Matching Headings/Paragraphs and TFNG/YNNG questions and you are good to go.

For speaking, use makkari and try to cover at least half of the text. Be confident on your speaking day and be fluent. Answers may not be correct but fluency counts more

For listening, forget your worries and just focus. Try and have a retentive memory.

For writing, understanding the essay type is more important than writing down the essay.


All the best guys.

For FSW

Work experience while schooling may count if it fits the requirements stated in this link e.g. was it paid, did you work the required number of hours, does your job description match an NOC A, B or 0?

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html#skilled

For CEC

It does not appear that work experience gained while schooling full time will count as Canadian work experience:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/canadian-experience-class.html

Please see page 1 for links to IRCC's website for details on each programme. This link from IRCC comprehensively answers your question though:

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=394&top=29

In summary, this experience is not wasted it will add to your CRS (if you're trying to gather 3 years work experience) but it will not be considered Canadian work experience for the purposes of CEC.

All the best!

Please tell her there's still hope for her. As has been suggested here by quite a number of persons, learning and taking French might be the only option for her. Additionally, she might consider doing a masters if she doesn't have one already.

I love the improvement. I 9ray I also improve drastically too and the 3rd attempt will be my last and best so far
1st attempt : L-7.0, R-6.0,W-5.5,S 7.0
2nd attempt : L-7.5, R-6.5, W-7.0, S- 7.5

I really need tips on listening and reading.
Pls do you have any recommended tutorial I pay to learn other? I no trust my brain again

Hello everyone please I have two concerns :
What does this mean? I saw it on Ircc website ... Does it mean u can’t combine two different NOCs
1) In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation

2)is it okay to say ur job was 55 hours per week. Will dt be a problem ? Or 40 hours is the maximum

I'm about to go to my institution to prepare and send my transcript to WES while I wait for my other institution to call of their strike.

The problem now is
1) my OND statement of result which I'm about to prepare transcript for and send to WES,my name was misspelled with one letter, eg; instead of one 'r' they typed two 'r'.
2) and again I intend to include my middle name in the OND result,I never taught I'll use it again not until now,then I felt reluctant about the middle name not until now. Its just my surname and first name which was misspelled that's what's in my OND result, of which my BSC carrries my middle name,all full names spelled correctly, also my passport matches by BSC

In this scenerio pls FAM!! How can I approach it so as to get the best of it, to merge the names,will I have a problem doing this.

What should I do before going or when I'm there
