I experienced same at IOM ,even though I had read about it ahead of time. However, my surgery was done in a private clinic , I obtained a very comprehensive report signed by the M.D.( not medical officer or any junior doctor) showing the diagnosis, treatment & prognosis just inline with Canadian health standard. The physician at IOM went through and said it's on point however if I don't hear from them in 1 week am as good as good!

I didn't hear from them,then came medicals passed. I meet some people who has been told to do further tests due to non-satisfactory/ comprehensive report.

I think you should find a way to reach the surgeon,they can find a way out for you.


Thanks for this info. Will return to LUTH on Monday and see how I can push further. Hoping the health workers calls of their strike very soon.

Sorry bro, I will advise you register for another ielts, use ieltsbuddy.com for your writing by studying all the lessons under the writing section. I did same and my writing improved from 6.5 to 7.5. In addition to this, you can take a gamble by calling for EOR on your writing and probably speaking to see if the remark will change something. Never ever give up...

I would suggest ieltsbuddy too. I got an 8 an it helped a lot. Read the essays and writings there. Practice them on your own. Try and write as many letters and essays you can before the exam and get someone to read them for you. I read a lot of sample essays and letter and practiced on my own and on that day the questions looked familiar cause I had either read a letter or esaay similar or practiced it .

Hi bro, How or what ways can she go make that happen

Also l like to ask..is it possible to get a job offer without being in canada? Am thinking l should tell her to assit to search for job in the province she is.
yeah you can get a job without being in canada, a number of persons have managed to, using the job bank. Its not an everyday occurence but it happens. She may or may not be able to assist you in getting a job, depends on a number of factors.

As for Gift deed, there is a detailed explanation of that on page 0. basically she is to prepare a notarized letter stating tht she is gifting you money for POF, she would then transfer the money to your account. This money must not be touched through out your application.

As for PNP i doubt she would count as a relative, she is actually just a family friend. and if we could use family friends, I trust everyone here would have got extra 600 points through PNP already. well, let the experienced folks contribute, perhaps I may be wrong.

IELTS 1st attempt: LRSW 7, 9, 7.5, 7.5

2ND 7.5, 9, 7, 7

I would say for section 2 which is map is to practice practice practice. Get use to directions. That is left and right side and North south east West. I suggest you map them out mostly left and right side on your map immediately your starting point is pointed out. Then give your full attention and follow direction. They sometimes have some street names or locations in map to help you navigate your self e.g the store is opposite the library , quickly look for the position of the library then u will know the building opposite it will be the store and that could be the answer.
For the section three i will say underline key points . Try and read each sentence during the short break and underline key points.it will help you know when exactly the speaker is talking about that sentence to enable you know the answer.
Note that the questions don't always come word by word but synonyms so you have to be good in that too.

Hope it helped

2ND 7.5, 9, 7, 7

I also had a weakness for maps. In my case, after much practice, i identified the problem to be a lack of familiarity with the descriptive words used to give directions. its not like i never heard them before but i was having about 2 seconds lag in picking them up. what i did was to study them and practice till my brain didnt need to buffer to figure the directions.

it is also important to figure the likely starting point in a map before the speaker starts, also try and relate the various locations to each other.

for lectures, your problem isnt the lecture, it is the question type (Multi choice questions), it is quite difficult processing all that information in the options while keeping up with the speaker. since the answer is always paraphrased, you have to listen to understand rather just lookin out for the right option. it is a herculean task to me and I havent found a panacea yet; sometimes i get lucky to follow up, other times i find myself hanging.

another nightmare for me is "matching" question type, the ones with more options than questions. again my problem is processing all those options at a go, i have tried writing the words i hear then checking for the option that fits much later, but there is hardly enough time to write.

Hopefully, someone would hint us on techniques that works fine for these.

@threadstone, but what if there are years in-between the applicant's NYSC service year(2011 to 2012) and when the applicant started this job with 2years work experience(2015 till date), is it still possible to claim for nysc period in a situation like that?

It doesn't matter as long as its within the 10 year frame. It counts as experience.

I'm a recent but keen follower of this noble thread. Although I only started reading 1 month ago. My dream to Canada has never been brighter.

I received my IELTS results yesterday and thanks to the tips and advice of seniors and insightful analysts on the thread suggesting sites like ieltsbuddy, ieltsliz. I was able to make:

LRWS - 8, 7.5, 7, 8.

Thanks guys you are too much... to all those who were disappointed at their scores, please don't give up. Whenever there's a will there's always a way. Delay does not mean denial

Now, Please I need some guidance on my application, I'm married but my spouse is not keen on taking the IELTS.

Scenario 1: I submit EE profile with a CRS score of 437 receive ITA apply get AOR then add spouse afterwards. I understand it's possible for singles that get married after AOR to do this. Can married couples do same?

Scenario 2: I apply from the onset as PA (MSc, 3yrs Exp) with my spouse (BSc, OND, 2yrs Exp) CRS score drops to 425 meaning my spouse would have to do IELTS; assuming a minimum score of 6,6,6,6 in L,S,R,W brings joint CRS to 435

Please elders in the house kindly advise as Scenario 1 (if possible) saves us time and money on spouse's IELTS and ECA

In the multitude of counsel there is safety.
Thanks ahead!!!

POF Palava.
I work for a company (job experience, where i got my Points from) i also have a company ( i intend to add this as part of my work history (no points was claimed here) through which i have executed some jobs recently.
The problem here is that most of my PoF would be transferred from my personal company account to the account i wish to use for my PPR application.
Do i use an LoE to explain where the money is from?
Do they accept the fact that i have an officail employment in a company and still run a.side business from.the.other?

Please I also have a sister(blood sister now), who is willing to assist with POF (almost 80%) when I get ITA. How can she do that for me.

Although my ECA is still pending sha. UNilag made mistake on year of award. Hopefully get it sorted out now that NASU is back to work.


einsteino:


The much she can do is help you with a gift deed for your POF. but she can not improve your CRS score since she isnt your blood/half/adopted sister. if she were, you would have gotten extra 15 points.

Congrats on your IELTS result.
Since you are married, you do not have the opportunity to apply as single, so scenario 1 is out of the way which leaves you with option 2 only.
I suggest you enter the pool with your projected CRS of 425 while you try to convince your spouse to write IELTS to boost your score. You can't tell if the cutoff will drop below 425 while you are at it.
All the best.

As advised by Abby2017...

Option 1 is not possible,

Your best bet is option 2, enter pool with 425, start spouse ECA that should get you 10 points..totalling 435 which should be ok, to get ITA. with that you dont need spouse IELTS.

I beg to differ. To the best of my knowledge, Option one is possible to the extent that you will be allocated points as a 'single' applicant if you have an 'unaccompanying' spouse'; meaning no need for ielts nor eca from spouse and you still maintain a high score.

Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 2 by stealth02: 10:47pm On Sep 23, 2017
Thanks @jergins. My apologies, the 425 score actually includes pending ECAs for both of us but no spouse IELTS. So the contention is actually centred around spouse's IELTS test. As advised by @Abby2017 we will dive in at 425 and update profile as soon as our situation changes if we haven't received an ITA by then.

Ur assertion is only possible if spouse is not going wit PA. But in dis case, poster clearly said spouse is going. He's just thinking of applying alone and adding spouse after, which is impossible since they are already married.

Hello fam, just checked my IELTS results after getting "no results" numerous times.
Listening -8.5
Reading - 9
Speaking -7
Writing - 7.5

All praises to God!!
Thank you bigfido for sharing the prayer to St Joseph, thank you Glitteringstar, Kontagious,Cochtrane and all others who helped shaped my prep with tips and materials.

Diving into the pool asap as 40manlappy will say and hoping for a favorable draw as I've maxed out immediate avenues of increasing CRS, I should be on 415-419 if not mistaken.

God bless us all.
