Point of corrction: 8777 is CLB 9 and is not the best score for a PA. It is the minimum score for you to get the extra 25/50 points for education/ skills transferability.


To get the maximum score for English language skills, you need CLB 10 which is LRWS of 8.5,8,7.5,7.5. This will give you a total of 128 points while 8777 will give you 116 (I think, you may confirm) points.

Even if someone entered the pool with the 7.5,77, it is unlikely the person will get up to 400 points, it is really of no use except you just want to be in the pool early such that after updating new scores you can beat the tie rule if it ever applies to you.

No wahala. However, that your "least best" is funny, let us not continue writing or thinking this way so that British Council will not continue "chopping" our money.

ADVICE PLS...

I started working in a government hospital in June 2013. Fortunately for me, I got a scholarship to study in the UK which I started in January 2015, invariably means I "left" the job in January 2015. Prior to leaving, I wrote a letter to the management to grant me study leave which after many bureaucratic hurdles, it was granted in June 2015. Although, I decided that whether they grant it or not, am leaving.

After the study leave approval, my salary and allowances which was stopped was paid and I was paid up till December 2016. I finished my studies in the UK in May 2016 and since then, I am still in the UK doing one or two things. Legally though.

My question now is:

1. If I want to write my work experience date, is it supposed to be from June 2013 till December 2016 when my salary was stopped or January 2015 when I left for UK?

2. Because I left and never returned to the job, I couldn't go to the Admin department to get a reference letter but my manager/supervisor gave me a reference letter when I visited Nigeria last year which covers from June 2013 to January 2015. Should I use the reference letter or I should just humble myself and use my payslips that covers from the month I started work till December 2016?

I actually preferred to get the reference letter from my supervisor because she was the only one who understand and knows my job description. As we know that most government establishment doesn't have job description for employees.

3. The letter my supervisor gave me was on a letter-head paper with his email and phone number. If they need to verify, who will they contact? I checked the hospital website but they don't have a functional contact number or email address.

4. If I get ITA and am asked to upload reference letter, should I upload the letter my supervisor gave me and payslip to back it up or I should wait until they require me to back the reference letter up with additional documents?

MissG:


lilyandie Congratulations on your PPR.

Please what website did you order you GCMS notes.

jelmusboy:
Is a reference letter from my line manager/supervisor tenable instead of from Director of Admin or HR?

Also, my partner did only IELTS but not ECA ecaluation. Will I fill in her education details in the EE application. She has an MSc degree which we didn't evaluate.

I greet everyone in this wonderful house.

Pls I read somewhere in the where somebody used a valuation for his property as a POF.

Pls can someone point me to that link or throw more light.

Thanks

Hello house,

am very much new to the thread. I will like to ask if it is possible to combine IELTS results? I wrote two exams and i was thinking if i could use the both of them in the application.
Secondly, has anyone tried to evaluate with WES, certificates from schools of hygiene and Lagos state teaching hospitals (LUTH) and what was your experience?

Thanks in advance.

Please can someone share a sample letter of explanation on different names on documents and bank statement as well as LOE on POF coming From an accompanying spouse?
Thank you

optionese:


LOL @more than the required questions. As par assistant examiner .

pepe1:


Pls what do you think about getting a valuation for a residential property and using the valuation as a proof of fund.

stonecoldcafe:


I will attempt to answer this question from a very safe point of view.
First what did you claim as per number of years while you were entering the pool?
Did you claim you have experience from the hospital until Jan 2015 or Dec 2016?
If your HR is contacted tomorrow (not your supervisor oh) and they ask when you left, what will the representative of your organisation say?
Even if they don't like your face but they were to give a factual representation of when you joined and left the organisation, what will be their response? I think the answer should guide you here.

I personally believe the safest thing is to state the organisations's point of view as your response to when you left. From this thread and other Canadian Immigration thread online, i have observed CIC sometimes jumps protocol of asking a supervisor/Manager and writes directly to the HR Department. Sometimes this tends to bring bad blood between a supervisor/Manager versus HR. Especially in an organisation where the HR has their own way of handling these sort of things. You alone know how your former organisation behaves or what they might say.

The above may or may not be your case but how can we tell who the officer handling your case would contact or the information they may be content with? If i were in your shoes, I may go ahead with the supervisor's letter especially if i can't contact HR or they refuse to respond to me. If CIC asks for payslip/bank statement in addition, i will tender what i have and state in a LOE why the payments continued until 2016. I think the key is being honest while one errs on the side of caution.

[s]As for the absconding bit, CIC is not a morality contest at least nor be army officer you be. Its not cool yeah but its a morality thing and not an illegal thing. [/s]


Let the seniors and HR specialist join mouth in this matter.

- It is safer and more efficient for you to obtain the reference letter from your Director of Admin/HR. He/she is likely to be contacted if/when your employment history is subjected to additional verification.
- If you fill in your spouse's education in your EE profile, you'd be required to provide ECA report (which you do not have). Leave it out, but you'd have to include it in personal history post ITA since you didn't claim points for it

I filled in her education history but I picked NO in the question that was asked if I did ECA for her or not. So, I wasn't awarded any point for it.

I think that's the way to do it.

Please what is the best way of paying for this IETLS exam. I was at GTB today to pay to do a transfer to Standard chartered as described in my confirmation email using my reference code but the bank says that the account number is wrong. And i used the 6 digits provided with my month code and last 2 digits of my passport as account number. Please i need to make this payment

nestkojex:

It's only through transfer you can use that 6 digit code, and a combination of passport number and exam month code. Anything over the counter must be through bankdraft. You are In Lagos, I ll advise you use bank draft and take it to ikoyi yourself for immediate confirmation. Sometimes, the bank transfer method could be very frustrating as they may not be able to verify your payment for a week and getting them on the phone is hard than getting a Canada visa.
