The rate will always be relative because of the amount of profit declared at the end of the year, mine was about 150 in total. Please ensure you don't use any agents because CIC confirms the tax code generated to ensure authenticity . BTW am female .

adaifx:
I can't seem to remember my candidate number so I can check my ielts results

Newmum0615:
Well I know for a fact that your work experience does not need to match what you studied in school. These are just employment requirements,
They do not determine your eligibility for FSW/EE.

sunvick:
Please boldly go for remark in that writing, I strongly believe you will get a raise in that writing.

Guitarlife:

uote author=Lucious477 post=64469591]Hello all, I'm sharing this to encourage others.

I started my journey by considering both Canadian and Australian Immigration but made up my mind to drop Australia movement for that of Canada due to the cost involved, also Canada PR process looked more straight forward to me.

ECA
I decided to use WES for my assessment because I'm an Engineering professional and WES is needed in processing future professional engineering qualifications in Canada, as well as sending transcripts to Canadian Universities in the future. Also, I took the pain to assess both my BEng and MSc degrees (both from Nigerian schools) because of the above reasons.
I started processing my WES application in August 15, 2017 and my WES E-copy report got ready in Nov 30, 2017 (timeline 2.5 months). My WES hardcopy report got to my apartment- delivered by NIPOST on January 4, 2018 (used standard delivery, $7). Although, I have never used the hardcopy.

IELTS
Took my exam on October 14, 2017 and passed on first attempt LRWS 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5 (Max point for Express Entry)
-My study tips
I studied for two months (1 month intensive).
I printed the test answer booklets for reading, listening and writing test (got them free online). Reason is because I wanted to simulate typical exam conditions and I also practiced using a stopwatch.
-Listening
I practiced using the Cambridge material from 2016 to the end. A week to my exam, I did two listening test everyday in order to stay sharp. To be honest, I hardly scored 8 during practice and multi choice questions were my weakness so I spent more time at these. During my exam, I followed the audio recording by moving my pencil beneath the sentences on my question sheet in order to constantly stay focused. I ensured I read all instructions carefully.

-Reading
I practiced using all the past questions on General training reading that I could lay my hands on. I ensured I timed myself to finish in 45mins and checked my work with 15mins. I rarely scored 8 during practice. During my exam, I finished under 50mins, checked my work with 10mins(very helpful because I discovered some mistakes, which I corrected).

-Writing
www.ieltsliz.com was a great companion. I adopted all her different essay and letter formats(very helpful). I wrote at least 1 essay per day (most times). I read using a digital dictionary (for looking up words). I practiced with a stopwatch and tried to finished both parts under 50mins so that I could use the 10mins left for checks. During my practice, I knew how many lines I needed to write, to achieve the required minimum number of words (since I used the IELTS answer sheet). During my test, I finished under 45mins and used 15mins for checks.
-Speaking
I practiced using a voice recorder, which made it possible for me to assess myself. Sometimes I practiced in front of my wife (she acted as the examiner). During my test, I had a relaxed conversation with the test official. I tried to expand my speech, such that the examiner always had to stop me.

I noticed that I was more interested in learning/improving my English language skills than just passing the IELTS test. So it turned into a stronger desire for me. I also realised that passing IELTS can only be done by understanding the test (tricks, structure and rules). To understand IELTS one has to learn from tutors such as Liz and then practice what they have learnt.

I spent more time and resources practicing for IELTS because I needed to overcome my weakness. I gave it my time (despite my 9-5 job) and studied as if my life depended on it. I prepared and wrote my test such that my wife (a nursing mother) won't have to write and also save the money.

My CRS is 454 (lost 27 points since I'm married and my spouse didn't write IELTS or did ECA, but it didn't matter)
Created my profile Dec 5, 2017 got ITA Dec 6, 2017.

I'm presently on AOR stage- Jan 12, 2018.
I'll give detailed update on how I packaged my application for submission on a different post.

Special thanks to God for His grace, and everyone who took out time to contribute on this platform.

Godspeed also to all those preparing for IELTS, waiting for ITA or expecting PPR.

It will end in praise!

This is quite encouraging, can't wait to share mine
