Hello everyone, please I would like to confirm if ICES ask for verification of results from universities like WES... Thanks..

No

Ifeoma77:


True. Although I'm still not convinced that schools will reject an ECA or transcript from ICES and IQAS.

Iqas accept from most schools in Alberta and very few schools Ontario that's it
While ices some schools in British Columbia.

Everybody talking about ICES and IQAS as alternatives to WES. But has anybody used CES(Comparative Education Services - University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies)? I just sent my transcript to them (I’m a dentist) since their procedure seemed easiest. But I hope I won’t regret this, and I hope they will evaluate it to be equivalent of Masters.

We appreciate trailblazers on this thread, thank you for your initiative.
I'm sure you won't regret it.
Kindly keep us updated on your experience.

Pardon my ignorance. Is SINP that strict on the education requirements?

Tojued:
My people, please huddle round let's reason together.

I have someone who needs PNP because of age.

Now, her main NOC (social worker) is currently on SINP list, but she doesn't have the requisite education so isn't really qualified. She's willing to do a diploma to gain the qualification, but will take a bit of time and you know how these occupation in demand lists change.

However, she owns a farm which she has been running as a side hustle all these years. And farm manager is also on the demand list. She neatly ticks off all the requirements for this NOC in real life.

Two problems involved on paper:
1. She has not been tidy with documentations all these years. Even sales book, she no get lol.
2. She is very well known in that her main NOC. Google her name and her experience there will pop up. Google her particular field of expertise and her name is also likely to pop up.

I'm thinking we should try getting nomination with farm manager, but if nomination has not arrived as at when we complete our diploma, we recreate profile/switch NOC to social worker. Is this making sense?

Thanks in advance for your contributions.

Man! The wait is something else. On the bright side, I have stopped checking my profile. Last last they must respond to us.

I resolved to just chill until the 6 month mark as stated by them. Last last they would send us mail, the same way they sent for the biometrics. Funnily enough, I wasn't getting all worked up before the email for biometrics came. Just checked and saw it.
Let it be like that, just check my email one day and voila!

Pls make una just chill ehn. Biko, i have especially adored ur responsiveness and maturity all along.

Hephgirl:

But but he started it

Please when is the next batch of WAEC scratch cards being sent. I want to send mine too

Nawaoh! Reading through all these stories, those of us that did our WES before they introduced this WAEC palaver were very lucky niyen. All the best guys!

please is there a whattapp group for Nov 1 AOR? please link me

Jasmine17:


Bro. Told myself i wont respond to this issue again as the guy was trying to be sarcastic and nasty even when it was clear i only wanted to help. But knowing what you have done for me, i will respond to you.

Make him pick sense from our convo if e like, no cares.

I paid WES N58k+ which is the equivalent of #207CAD for the evaluation of my first degree and Master's.

Transcript cost is not applicable as i would have paid same if i used ICES.

WAEC costs
(which i would have avoided if i used ICES)
Affidavit - did mine N200 but had to courier it to lag. In Lagos, it goes for N1,500 minimum, 3k at WAEC office.
Confirmation of result payment = N10k
Courier fee, Fedex - N10k
Stationery+Tfare+Thank you for my proxy - N6,000
Scratch card sent as a group - N4,505
Total cost from WAEC - N30,705 (as i didn't pay for courier of affidavit).

School A verification
Official payment to school - N0
Sorting to get verification done - N5500
Tfare to school for verification - N1,000
Total - N6,500

School B verification
Official payment to school - N10,000
Sorting to get verification done - N7,000
Tfare to school for verification - N0
Total - N17,000

Phone calls to WES on verification issues >N6,500 as of date.

Waec verification not done as of today, dont know if i would sort in the end to get it done.

Total from WAEC and verification as of today = N60,705 ~ 213CAD
Dont forget schools that pay N20-30k for verification with high sorting. If you are from such a school, you will spend above that 600CAD without noticing it.

Now, have i not spent above the extra amount for ICES additional certificate evaluation? I have done that conveniently with additional stress.

Did it save me time? NO. My application to WES is EXACTLY 3 months old Today. People get their ECA from ICES in less than 1 month after receipt of transcript.

You finally picked sense. You were listing goodies from WES. I don't dispute those but if you are in a hurry or your points are on the borderline, use ICES even if you have two degrees.

Na who get ITA, COPR etc dey plan on surviving in Canada. You can still do evaluations for other stuff.

First thing first.

But I still root for WES when it is OND + HND. However, If ICES favors both as two or more certificates etc, bone and pay 400CAD.

I drew my guy's ears abt WES and he listened and used ICES. Acknowledgement of documents' receipt was 28 Sept, ECA ready 29 Oct. You can't beat that.

No verification. No extra stress and payment.

I understand some people like trouble shaa oh.

I have been following this thread religiously since part 1. But at that time, I was doing my Msc in the UK. I wanna throw a quick one here, to those that did EoR with MOD, did your results online changed (if the section was upgraded) before u recieve your TRF or after.

yes mine was upgraded online first

Thanks, what section(s) did you ask for remark? And how long did it take?

Everybody everywhere is strict with social workers. You must evaluate with their professional organisation to be considered one. Prof. Organisation says you must have education in social work.

Mamaroon:



if farming NOC is 8252 or 0831 no professional status/licence is needed for SAS PNP...if she has plenty money she can go for the farm owner category/path.

Otherwise, for Occupation in Demand or SAS EE...she needs at least 1 yr post secondary school diploma or certificate for both social worker and farming.....it can be education...training or apprenticeship....depending on age and IELTS scores, she may still get the 60 points

Seems easier to stick with farming...BUT i think her NOC for Federal EE and SAS PNP need to be in sync...she needs to be in the EE pool already...it's one of the fields to update on SINP site...i may be wrong though but she may need to do the 1yr training....OR is there anyway to show she has 1 yr training already...may not from a Uni.

the downside of social worker NOC is the SINP professional status or licence required.

Thanks for responding.

She qualifiés as 0831 but no money for farm owner. She has post sec. edu.

Maybe we will stick with 0831 for one year. By then her documentation will be sound.

We're in process of creating profile... Still baby steps ielts and eca in process. Though if we're site of this sinp for instance there's no need to rewrite ielts or evaluate two degrees so less stress.

Ifeoma77:


What if she uses the main NOC and explains that it's not regulated in Nigeria and that the on-the-job training she has received, is sufficient for her to practice in Nigeria and trumps formal school education?
Or, she can start cleaning up her bookkeeping for the farm.
Personally, I prefer the social worker NOC since she has digital footprint in that career

Not for pnp, to be a social worker you must have studied social work and done field work or whatever they call it. They don't even accept sociology, must be social work.

Yes we'll start keeping proper farm records. Worst case scenario we wait for one year to have enough proof before applying.

Btec Social worker diploma Will cost nothing less than 300k and I'm not even sure there's a qualified centre in Nigeria. We're just clutching at straws.

Thanks dear.

How are you guys keeping sane cos I'm beginning to loose it and it's barely 3 months. I thought I could move on with life and be occupied with work, life & my MAP but recently I'm going nuts . My anxiety is in overdrive and I honestly don't want to be a worry wart over something I cant control. Sigh

Lol... don't worry, we should start getting more PPR updates from ending of this month. After reading the timelines of people like aworldcitizen, I just left it in God's hands. Though it tarries, it will surely come. In the meantime, enjoy naija hot weather

I don't think there will be a draw today as Canada is celebrating armistice remembrance day and has declared today a public holiday.
