For example, Nigerian nationals form a large percentage of the successful applicants under express entry. They form a big percentage of those who enter through the provincial nominee program, international students, 6% growth in tourism, so again, we can't let the good work of—.....)

Thank God we still have goodwill.

Where did he make it clear? After very publicly smearing us last Spring at a press briefing with the claim that Nigerians were leading the pack of irregular border crossers, now he goes to private meetings and claims 'he has made it clear'? SMH

Thank you so much for this.
An attestation Letter from your school stating that your certificate is not ready will suffice.

65k wow!!! It cost me 42k.pls go to the Pco's office directly and speak with him.

it is Lagos ooo. I have spent 65 on it

joo2018:
There was a discussion awhile back.
Someone stated he chose 'No", but submitted a LOE that yes, he has a sibling but chose 'No' because he's not claiming points. If I remember right, he got PPR.
Someone else suggested choosing 'Yes', but submitting a LOE that you are not submitting documentation for the sibling as you are not claiming points.

(I was the yes proponent originally) However I conceded based on response from cic plus plenty experiences shared, that no is the answer. Then loe explaining that you have sibling but don't want to claim points.

Hi my people.

I trust God that we all we share inspiring testimonies as been shared by those who have gotten their PR.

I have 2 questions:
1. I am working with one of the government parastatals specifically one of the teaching hospitals, in the section for work history, can i say this is normal employment or list it under government appointment. I'm kind of not clear which i should call it. And if i call it government please what are the implications and what document should i prepare?
2. As i'm about to submit my ITA application, is it compulsory to submit the schedule A form now or i can do that later.

I will appreciate response from anyone that has had this kind issue in the past and how to proceed.
Thanks.

That means she did not take the speaking test and hence, she doesn't have a speaking result

Thank you,I just checked, the lowest for FSW which my profession falls into is 413 on May 2017.

So this means that my 405 won't fly ?

Nothing is impossible. However, your research has provided you with the most most reliable expectations for now.

Sharing my story cuz of how I've learnt from others in this thread. Mine will take a peculiar route and I'll update the house.
However, for now I'll share how I studied for IELTS with the hope that it might help someone too.

Listening: Practice a lot. Get a hold of the Cambridge Books 1-12 and even 13 and do many practice tests. Practice concentrating cause my mind wandered sometimes, usually in between sections or at the beginning.

After a lot of practice, find out which of the listening question formats gives you a hard time then focus on that one to get better. Mine was the section with a question and multiple choice long answers. I jonsed a lot answering these type of questions during practice.

In the hall, don't touch the headset during the test or bend too low. Doing so will either interfere with or block the Infra-Red signal and you'll hear a scrambled sound instead of the test. I wrote all my answers in ALL CAPS; I couldn't risk small caps as my handwriting is terrible.


Reading: Get a hold of the Cambridge Books 1-12 and even 13 and do many practice tests. Although it's the GENERAL we are writing, I practiced a LOT with the ACADEMIC as it's harder/complex. When I did practice GENERAL, it was a breeze. Also, time yourself as you proceed.

After a lot of practice, figure out which type of questions you suck at and focus. Mine was T/F/NG or Y/N/NG - I failed them hard - especially when synonyms were used in the questions.

Finally, I read the entire passages during practice for both Academic and General. However, before my test I tried the skimming and scanning technique, and it worked too

In the hall I answered in my question paper first then transferred to answer sheet later cuz of my bad handwriting. I finished Reading in 30mins then I revised my answers or the ones I skipped and transferred my answers in the last 30mins. I answered in ALL CAPS too.

Writing: Honestly, this was definitely the hardest for me - I am not a fan of long story.

Firstly, I finished an official free (for 1 month) IELTS LRWS online course *** even though I can't remember how I learnt about it. I also did the RoadtoIELTS that comes after you pay. Thirdly, I did a short video course *** downloadable via torrent - it taught me how to plan the different types of essays. Popular free IELTS websites also helped me too. Like L & R, it goes without saying that you should practice a lot.

Now when it comes to practicing, I think the best approach is to first UNDERSTAND the Writing marking criteria for both Task 1 and 2. The criteria for both is similar but only differs in Task Achievement vs Task Response respectively. When you understand the criteria you can give them what they want abi are looking for. (Same goes for Speaking).

Second step is to practice (TIMED) a lot with the criteria in mind. For writing (and speaking) it's hard to know your standing since you can't get immediate answers like L & R. What I did was to pay someone online ***, who claimed to be an official IELTS tutor, to mark some of my practice tests (Did same for speaking). Doesn't cost much. So say you have 3 weeks to your IELTS exam, you can write 4-5 letters and essays a week and get the last one in every week assessed. Practice with pencils or biros - basically whatever you prefer to write with during exam.
If you can't write an essay everyday, at least practice planning an essay everyday (i.e, Intro, Paragraph 1, Paragraph2, etc , Conclusion).

In the hall, every minute counts in Writing. If you are going to ease yourself during the test, it's best you do it during Reading cuz it's probably the test you'll finish on time. They won't let you out of the hall during the chill period between L & R, or R & W. I lost about 2 mins in Writing while running to and fro the bathroom . As globally advised, spend 20 mins on Task 1, and 40 mins on Task 2 (you know Task 2 carries twice the weight). For each Task, quickly plan before you start writing.

The moment I started writing, I wrote down the different ways to show 'Grammatical Range and Accuracy' so that I remembered to include them (i.e. Simple/Compound/Complex Sentences, Modals, Tenses, Adverbials, etc).
In Task 1, one mistake I recall was mixing up indentation with skipping a line between paragraphs. I corrected the mistake in Task 2.
I didn't do well in Task 2 as I wrote well below 250 words: 220 ish words if I recall correctly. Also, my handwriting is pretty bad (like Doctor type) so I had to slow down to be legible which also added to the pressure. I also recall my conclusion paragraph was poor as I was tense, rushing and looking at the clock.



Speaking: I semi-covered speaking in the Writing section. To reiterate, UNDERSTAND the Speaking marking criteria and give them what they want. Cambridge Books 1-12/13 has Speaking tests too.

You already know about giving extended but on-point/topic (don't digress) answers in Part 1, speaking beyond the stipulated 2 minutes in Part 2, using Part 3 to further give them what they want and finally that lying is okay .

The free (for 1 month) online course *** helped. YouTube videos, free IELTS websites, RoadtoIELTS. I also paid someone, who claimed to be a former IELTS examiner, to interview/assess me; He gave me pointers/feedback and the session eased my tension - don't even understand why I was tensed about a Language I've spoken all my life .

To conclude, practice for L & R, understand criteria and practice for W & S, know your weak areas and improve them.

While I understand that we all want to get this PR sorted, please consider your schedule and book a date that will give you time to study/practice wella. Like if you work full-time, part-time, run a biz, married, single, run a family etc schedule your test accordingly. In hindsight, I nearly made the mistake of registering in another City for the test cuz my own City had no space for a closer date - I would have performed poorly.

*** I'm not sure about the rules as per what is considered advertising so I'm not mentioning any links. However let me know and I'll email them to you. For the Cambridge Books I think they are available via torrent even though I copied via USB from someone in my City.

...and I said I'm not a fan of long story.
Cheers

Big congratulations my dear. I need a favour from you. Could you please email the materials you used to me on :ask4gt@gmail.com

May God reward you for your kindness.

Finally, IELTS has been put to the cross.

I have no choice but to step out from the shadows as a keen and silent observer to motivate and encourage someone in this big family.

1st attempt (BC, April '18)
L - 8.5
R -8.0
W -7.0
S - 7.5
Right from the onset, the aim had been to max out to hit 441 (if u know, you know ). Because of the urge to enter the pool (CRS - 438) and belief that CRS was going to drop based on last year's draws, I didn't bother to request for a remark. After waiting and closely following the draws, I realized that this was not going to happen. I decided to write TEF - I have intermediate french knowledge - in June since I stood a better chance of raking in more points. TEF didn't bulge and humbled me. Still, I refused to be discouraged and remained resolute.

2nd attempt (BC, September '18)
L - 8.0
R - 9.0
W - 6.5
S - 7.0
After putting in extra preparation, BC hit me with this result. I didn't even know whether to laugh or cry but I was certain this was an anomaly. I didn't even think of an EOR as I believed it was a lost cause. As usual, I refused to let it get to me and immediately searched for available exam slots. I decided to give MOD a shot and was lucky to get a seat in less than 1 week outside my town. Yes, the struggle was for 3 additional points but trust me, every single point you can get counts in this journey.

3rd Attempt (MOD, September '18)
L - 9.0
R - 9.0
W - 7.5
S - 8.5
God finally came through for me. Safe to say MOD was the game changer. Waiting for this result was mentally exhausting as I kept second guessing myself all through the waiting period even though I knew I gave my best. To say I am relieved and elated is an understatement. Now sitting at 441 and hoping CRS drops soonest - The next battle !

To everybody battling with IELTS, please do not give up. Remain resolute, prepare harder and heaven will definitely favour you.

woow, amazing result, congratulations!!!!

Lol. Tojued!

@Vanillawafers,Personally,I would answer 'yes' to that question and then explain in loe that I have sufficient point hence,not claiming points for sibling and also state that my siblings are not willing to give out their personal details ie PR card,utility bills,etc.In western world,they respect privacy a lot unlike in Africa where we are too sentimental.You can be my sibling but I still deserve my privacy.So,it's not a big deal to a VO.

Saying 'no' to that is risky and remember,VO's discretions are not the same,some may be lenient while others might be over zealous.

Wow, you didn't get back to me. Would have still pursued it for you. Sorry about that.

SO WHAT DID U SUBMIT AS POF

For people that used IJMB as direct entry, if u can avoid using it(i.e you have masters) it’s better if not contact the IJMB office in ABU to send ur cert. you will have to pay for fedex thou for sending the cert and verification.
NOTE: IJMB is not evaluated as a second cert but Wes insisted on having it to evaluate BSC cert.
