AVO is about to start treating July applicant, so remain calm and continue with other activities. August applicant will probably be attended to around June

Please help.
When you did your certificate assessment from OAU, was the transcript sent by the school or you were given the transcript?
I want to know how fast it could be if sent by the school.

My suggestion is option (1). I had a similar experience but my UK certificate is BSc in a different field from my Naija ND cert. I had them include the ND because I used it under the related NOC category in my application to CIC in Nov 2014. Yours appears to be in the same field. The MSc. will still give you the points you're entitled to. I also must warn you that asking them to reevaluate the Naija BSc cert will create delays as they say. I'm talking from experience. I nearly missed the deadline for submission late last year. There were several mails back and forth which created delays and tensions. Also, I've come to learn that Oyibo no dey think like Naija people because their systems usually function as designed. Also factor your Naija institution. Are they very responsive, etc? All of these do count.

Also listen to what others have to say about this and make your informed choice.

Regards.

It's a bit complicated as i'm reading recently how folks who studied Masters in Canada but first degree in their home country are having issues with CIC after having being given ITA. CIC is telling them they can't find their ECA details on WES website, but the same CIC has earlier said if you have a Canadian Degree, you don't need ECA. It seems however, that since they have registered their Bsc which is foreign, CIC will want the Canadian equivalency, whether the Masters was done in Canada or not. What i can say(kindly note that its an opinion and not an authoritative advice) is that, if you registered Bsc that is not Canadian, you may need to evaluate it as well so that you wont be logged on story.com by CIC at the end of the day. Besides, i think you wont be paying extra to WES if you include your Bsc after having asked them to do only the Foreign degree. To be better assured though, you can contact CIC and let them tell you what to do.

Is it possible for him to apply as the main applicant and also add me on to his profile?

that way, we've got two profiles in the pool. one for him and one for me - and maximise our chances of getting selected. is this allowed?

Meanwhile, if you know of any or can help with available jobs in that line, kindly let me know. It's what i've been wanting to do. I used to know the two major professional bodies in Supply Chain in Canada but i've forgotten now. May have to research again

Hi Guys,

I have been following this forum for a while now and I must say it has been really helpful. I am currently swimming in the pool and hoping the score drops some more.

I need a bit of advise thou, is a printed online bank statement acceptable by CIC? Reason I ask is that I plan to use my account in the UK as part of my proof of funds but I am currently based elsewhere. Would an online statement fly?

o2:
Is there anybody who applies for the MPNP (Manitoba Provincial Nominee program) because they seem to have adopted express entry stylr of first registering your interest first.
