ACCA + B.Sc would yield 2 4-years Bachelors Degree.
For the CPA conversion, you'll be required to submit degree transcript or a different ECA report (course-by-course evaluation).

The full story.
I did my ielts in October 2017 with LRWS 8.5,8.5,7.5,7.5.
I evaluated only my MBA from Uniport with Iqas because I did not want to pay the school 100usd for Wes verification.I was already annoyed at having to cough out about 50k for the transcript itself.
I created a profile and entered the pool same month with a score of 434 hoping that scores come down like in early 2017.I applied with accompanying spouse.When after a couple of draws and no luck,I spoke with hubby about writing Ielts and he willingly accepted but wouldn't prepare.I needed to get the ITA and submit my application as soon as possible from Nigeria cos I was leaving soon for my research and I wanted to get done with it and face other stuff.He did his exam in January 2018.I can't remember his exact scores but he didn't do so well as per maxing out but he was able to add 12 points to my score and I was at 446.We didn't need to evaluate his credentials because I knew that ielts alone would boost crs scores going by the trend.
I started gathering docs and getting ready for the next draw but I couldn't get employment letter in Cic format or any format from my last employment.My boss blatantly refused without a good reason.i had my employment letter and disengagement letter and a few other corresponces my name was on during my stint with the firm.Salary was also paid into bank account with company name.I did an affidavit outliningy duties.I also got a former colleague to attest for me citing my roles and he did.I ran with these docs,highlighted my salary credits and also got salary schedule from my contact in the firm where my name was on.I also did a letter of explanation stating I was unable to get reference letter in their format
Pof was two treasury bills which I used without any other letter neither did I include bank statements.
We did our medicals at Prime hospitals in Ph.
Hubby's work experience was outlined in personal history.
Aor was Feb 14th.
Medicals passed was noticed on Feb 23
Ip2 was on the mass movement of Feb 27
I also thought like others that ppr was very close. I made enquiries on my application office and it was LVO.I knew I had to take a chill pill and sit back.
In April,i ordered gcms notes of about 190 pages and everything was fine.Even my employment record that gave me stress was noted as "letter appears to confirm employment".
However, at the beginning of July,I decided to inform LVO of my change in address and informing them my dependents were still in Nigeria for them to take note of when asking us to send our passports.I also decided to inform them of a peculiar problem my family face and my desire for us all to leave soon and not face the problem again this year.I also attached evidence.When I was writing them,i informed my hubby and he wasn't so sure I should tell them because it might seem like we are running away or something.I told him we are economic migrants and economic migrants are running to a better life, so they already know most people are desperate to leave.He said OK.I was convinced to tell them because I understand how they work and what I was telling them was verifiable truth and is reason enough to make them look into my application and make a decisuon.
I got a mail a few days later acknowledging my change in address and stating my application was awaiting review.On the 11th of July, I got adr for rprf,hubby's proof of employment even though it was in personal history but una sabi LVO things nahhh,provenance if funds in investment account and account statements dating back one year,and what my research is on and when I left the country.
I sought help here after having problems making the payment which was rendered by you sweet souls.I made the payment and supplied the needed info.
For provenance, I only supplied the one year statements and explained I had collapsed my TBs on maturity and invested into fixed deposits as it had a higher interest rate then.i also supplied the fixed deposit certs.I supplied these on the 13th if July.My research is also related to the problem I told them about which I don't want to share here and I believe that convinced them further even though I had already supplied evidence.
I was about going to bed with a headache and my sister on the bed with me was snoring frustrating my efforts to sleep and I asked her to change position in order to stop snoring.I picked up my phone to check the time and I had a mail from Cic.I knew it was ppr but one mind was skeptical saying let it not be another adr or something and I managed to log in and it was the LETTER.
I informed my family and told u guys.I was to go back to sleep but my sister encouraged me to finish reading and managed to finish reading it.Guven that we are now submitting via VACs,i will simply submit at the vac here while my family will submit theirs at home.
I encourage all of us not to despair no matter the obstacles as most obstacles are surmountable.
I will submit my passport within the week and update you on how that goes.Good luck to us all and excuse any typos.I am rushing to type this and leave as I am already running late and I don't want to keep those awaiting the gist in Limbo.

Congratulations bro.

walebaba2008:
Congrats!

Thanks a lot

DadR:
IMO, I think she can submit it that way. She could however explain in her LOE that she had gotten the reference letter since that time and still work there.

OgechiBae:
I have checked this and it talks about supervision of clerks. I don't think it falls within my job functions.

I manage, direct and supervise all staff in operations and also act as relief in the absence of my Business Manager

Okay then, continue searching. That is what I used and I was fine. It depends on how you structure your reference letter and the wording of your letter. Are you not a vault administrator ? The staff you manage, direct and supervise are they not operations staff ? What is the difference between cashier/teller and clerk that is on the cic site ? Ever heard the word synonym ?

Well you can keep searching sha, please let me know if you get another .

meadeh77:
Good evening house, I am 27years old, with a score of L-8,S-7.5,W7,R-9 , I have 3years working experience and my score Is 432.Please how can I increase my score.

Are you sure you calculated this well including skills transferability? Age is on your side and you scored a clb 9 in 2 aspects and a clb 10(speaking) and 12 (reading)

https://www.centennialcollege.ca/programs-courses/centres-institutes/ielts-test-centre/test-results/canadian-language-benchmarks/

Use the above link to know your clb score in each aspect

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/criteria-comprehensive-ranking-system/grid.html

And this link to manually calculate your score. The crs tool I don't think has the skills transferability mark and that's like a 100 extra. This is where the importance of having a good ielts score comes into play.

Hmmm that means I must have to add my BSc ... That's just bad news because my university is just crazy will take like a year before they respond. I better get started now thanks

Welcome back. I missed you.

Newmum0615:
Hmm. Well, I just gave a preliminary suggestion. I may come up with better options if I take a long and harder look at available options. 4212 and 4152 are for social workers. Can't tell for sure if they match till I study them well. Other brethren may even provide better options.

@Sistaj, Why was ur spouse requested to submit proof of employment when you included it in personal history? Did you provide a letter of explanation while filling the permanence residence application?

Lvo has a penchant for asking for the minutest detail.I think it is their discretion to choose to confirm.

Its another PPR rain

Congratulations @sistaj @udomoleinad @uzoreen

Congratulations to @Uzoreen @sistej and @Udomoleinad. May the land favor you all.

@jonjon2017 and others, you Dont need to quote all Sisa's initial post. Its quite long (and rightly so)
Make una go try edit I beg

@sistaj and others who got this ADR for spouse employment even though information was under personal, what proof do you tender?

Is it their employment letter you tender or the CIC employment reference letter for them?

Good morning house,

I really appreciate the wonderful works are doing,it's really really helpful,I can't do without reading the posts.

I will like to enter the express entry pool soonest after getting all requirements (ielts etc)

My Question:
1. The Surname on my international passport is different from my legal Surname now cos shortly before my marriage I did a change of name, hence wife and son's surname is different from mine on our international passport. How do I go about applying? Should I use my name as on the international passport or the new legal name?

2. In registering for the IELTS exam will I use the name on the international passport or the new legal name?

I will appreciate a reply soon.

Thanks
