I am trying to hurry cos by March next year i will be a year older and I will loose 5 points.

My transcript is with ICES ECA shd be out late December

Sting007:
Gather round guys!!

khinde:

TEECANN:
I have an informed feeling that more PPRs will be dropping on Wednesday/Thursday (4th/5th December) this week (Same signs that I saw when mine dropped are up again)

I pray that more e-famz here partake of these in-coming "golden mails" than ever before!


It will end in praise IJN!

How much did your ECA with ICES cost? And how long is the process?

SundayphilipNic:
Thank you all for your respective useful contribution on this forum. I'm new here  

Please I need your advice on this: I'm a Nigerian. I have my Bsc in engineering. I have 3 years of work experience in construction and fabrication industry but have been laid off for one year and six months now as my job position became redundant . I have been doing Plumbing work since after my secondary school education and even now that I don't have a job.

So I want to migrate to Canada through express entry as a plumber. My question is thus: how do I convince Canadian embassy that I'm a professional Plumber where as I don't have any certification or license to back it up as there is no really government agency that regulate artisans in Nigeria to issue license if one meet certain requirements. please my good people advice me on how to go about this.

Thank you in anticipation for your prompt response

Going back to hibernation, but actively and aggressively trying to get things set while waiting for the passports to set other things in motion. Hoping not to get too overwhelmed as I really am...

Kyzimum:


The adr was actually for my daughter who is up to the age for biometrics. So I paid and yet no biometric instruction to proceed.

Ifeoma77:

Probably means no more combining transcripts or WAEC scratch cards in one envelope to save courier costs
I'm beginning to think that it's witches and wizards that work in WES. They come to work on Monday morning and go; 'how can we make life more difficult for our customers?'
Please and please, people should avoid WES.
Paying for multiple qualifications in ICES is better than this. Even a 5 months wait with IQAS is better than this

Kyzimum:



I advise you wait. I felt like this with my last ielts, instead of waiting for the result, I quickly registered again. And guess what, My result turned out good and so I didn't need to right again. I requested for my 75% refund on the new registeration but they are yet to credit me. It's over months now.

Chicagomum:
Paid 475 CAD plus postage thats about 365 USD.
Evaluating my BSC and MSC. was a mistake though didnt know i was only supposed to evaluate MSC alone.

i hear it takes 5-6 weeks.

michaeladesiyan:
I got NCE and HND.
Do I need to evaluate o levels? If you're going to WES. No if you're using ICES and co
Then is it on HND that I will evaluate or both NCE and HND? Yes, that will probably give 2 certificates and more points.
Please help me

Ifeoma77:

You can still use the 3 years work experience if it's in NOC A, B or 0. It doesn't matter that you're not currently working there now. If you can get a reference letter, you're good to go. You are free to pursue the plumbing career when you get to Canada, it's not compulsory to work in the profession you filled in your PR application.

Good afternoon everyone. Please, I'm trying to pay for ECA using WES & I got the attached as total cost. I don't know if I did the right thing. Kindly help me check.

ontarioissauga:

But WES is like ECA to many people hence the die-there attitude.
