WES sends email and regular snail mail to Unilag. Unilag responds to the email although, sometime, they'll claim that they haven't seen it. If you have a contact there or if you can afford to go to Exams and Records yourself, go there and follow up. They can send the response within a week if you follow up closely. WES is ok with an email response.

And one last thing, if you can personally follow up, you don't need to pay anyone. They'll check in your presence to confirm whether or not they've received it and tell you when they'll respond.

philip3:

Good morning house

Please i have my first degree Bsc. In Business Management. And my second degree MBA is same business Management. Both from the University of Sunderland in the UK. Please where should i evaluate my Certificates that would give me more points? WES OR IQAS?

Please need urgent response
Thanks.

Your MBA will be evaluated as Master's equivalent in Canada and you get the required points for that. I don't think it's necessary to evaluate your bachelors if all you want is get into the EE pool. WES is fantastic for foreign degrees. I have no regrets.

Do you think my spouse will also go through the whole process - Writing IELTS, POF, WES e.t.c if we intend to go together? If yes, what is the difference if we register individually?

Hello all,

I've created this thread for Canadian Express Entry and outstanding FSW 2014 applicants since the previous thread became too long and has now been closed. I've also pasted a PDF link below which details the step by step instructions to apply for the Federal Skilled Workers Program via Express Entry.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4gWGgP8Vy5lSjFoaC01ZUtOaTg/view

In order to apply for Express Entry via FSW you need to first have a minimum of 1 year full time (30 hrs a week) or 2 years part time (15 hrs a week) skilled work experience which falls under NOC code A,B or O. Check for your NOC code below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

Next take your IELTS General test.

Then evaluate your degree or credentials via WES Canada (the best option). See link below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

After doing the above, to find out if you've qualified you need to score a minimum of 67 points out of 100 in the FSW grid. Calculate your score below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Now that you've qualified, you can go ahead and complete your Express Entry profile via the link below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp

Other things you must have:

Reference letters to verify the work experience you're claiming points for in the specified format below:

Written on company letterhead.

Signed by the responsible officers/supervisor.

Have the printed name and job title of the responsible officer/supervisor beneath the signature.

Show the company’s full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses

Stamped with the company’s official seal (if applicable)

The letter must include 5 things:

Your job title.

The dates of your employment (ideal format: DD/MM/YYYYY).

Your salary per year (or month).

Your average hours per week.

A detailed list of your employment duties.

Next you need to provide police certificates from all the countries you've resided in for 6 months and above since you were 18 years. See link on how to obtain PC from various countries below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/infORmation/security/police-cert/index.asp

Then you need to provide proof of funds for you and/or your family:

Number of
Family Members Funds Required
(in Canadian dollars)
1 $12,164
2 $15,143
3 $18,617
4 $22,603
5 $25,636
6 $28,913
7 or more $32,191 (I've updated the funds requirement)

Note: Birth certificates are no longer required for applicants but are only now required for your child/children.

Wishing you the best of luck !

Hi Ladies and Gents,

could someone please Kindly help compute my FSW points. I keep getting 66points out of 100 meaning I am 1 point short of eligibility to apply.

Age- 26
Education- E.Eng (ECA Assessed already), Diploma in Business (not obtained in Nigeria)
IELTS- R- 8, S-8, L-8, W-8
Experience- 2 years

bbaby84:


I think you should use WES as you already have a masters that's the second highest. The highest is a PHD so I'll advise WES plus WES is pretty fast with UK degrees.

Thanks a lot for your response. Much appreciated

That page is always updated once CIC updates.

Ommission of your middle name shouldn't be a problem. Provided the other names on the certificate match name on your international passport(or affidavit of change of name, if you have ever changed) and other documents, you are good.

Thank you for ur response. Please do u tink I need to swear an affidavit for this. Since its the only document I have that does not capture my middle name .

Other gurus should advice too please

just relax. unilag will always respond once they receive the mail. you can call this number 07019914920, that is the number of the office that treats the email. but you do not need to bother yourself visiting or even calling give or take, within two weeks they would respond to WES.

I presume you're single and without a sibling (sister or brother) in Canada.

If that is the case, your CRS is 413 if however, you have a sibling, it will be 418. Considering that the last lowest ranked candidate invited to apply was 499, 413 looks small. However, before the introduction of sibling and French scores, 413 was the lowest that was invited. We believe the required CRS will keep reducing, so it's possible that 413 might quality for an ITA in a months or even weeks' time.

Alternatively, you can accept to apply to Ontario when they send you their interest letter, but you'll be required to pay a fee of $1,500CAN.

My advise is that you should go into the pool immediately, make your proof of funds (POF) ready and start gathering required document. I think you'll need $12,000CAN for your PoF. I am confident that you'll get invited soon enough.

You can use this link to confirm your CRS. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

WES is fast and good for UK degrees - I can testify. MBA evaluation is what you really need for your EE application BUT there is no harm evaluating your B.Sc. too (who knows when/if you will need that to job search in CAN). Both evaluations should be hassle free since they are from the UK - and these UK schools respond very quickly.

All the best!

Hi,
You should be getting 68points, therefore eligible to apply. So you can go ahead and fill your profile.

Bro God bless you for this.
I agree with your thoughts and would like to further share my experience.
AOR june 16
MP July??
IP1/2. ??

forgive my uncertainty its part of my story.
So i once read someones post about checking cic twice daily especially after AOR but i felt that will b aseju and giving myself free blood Pressure. Plus i had registered on immitracker and was monitoring peoples progress there. My last login to CIC was jul 8. After Onlineise post and yookus ADR post i just looged in. Behold I saw we have all been assigned UCI and meds passed BG/IP showing in progress already. Unfortunately i cant state what date we passed meds or what IP we are on. All because i assumed CIC will notify me by email and that we had time. Now i know better.

I have tried iqas payment like 10 times. I get the response 'sorry your payment did not go through'
Any idea what is wrong?
Pleaseeeee

Hello house,please anyone here from IMSU who has gone through WES verification process?

Are you using a Naira denominated debit card? If yes, you need to get a dollar denominated card to successfully pay. If you have a GT bank account, you can get one immediately. You'll however, be required to fund the account with dollars. Just walk into a GTbank and ask about their Pre-paid dollar card. Information on it should also be available online.

If you have Access Bank Naira Mastercard Debit, you can try it. I paid IQAS fee two days back using same naira debit card and was successful. I was charged NGN59,233.44 for CAD 215. This mean the rate used was 275.50

However, you can only do equivelent to 200USD monthly on Access bank while GTBank have 1000 USD monthly.

Enjoy!

Chai!! Na this guess be wild guess oh!! I primarily had NOC 2282 and one 2281 in my work history but upon careful review I changed all to 2281 based on the reference letter I got.

mzjennypher:


@Folar2 i tot iqas payment was cad275 ow come ur doing cad215.

The main fee is 200 CAD.

75 or 15 is for sending the hard copy. I choose to get it delivered to an address in canada to get it reduced by 60 CAD. That is what we called ''Lagos sense''.lol
