Q1: Both Q2: HND1 1st semester start date. He should record actual dates. That has no bearing on the years the certificate is evaluated as. Azy123:
Good evening all. PLease help!!!
I am asking this question on behalf of a friend. He has evaluated his OND and HND with WES but in filling the express entry form he is not sure if he is to fill both OND and HND as part of education history.
WES evaluation is as follows:
Summary - Diploma (two years), Diploma (Three years) and a postgraduate certificate (one year)
OND - Canadian Equivalency - Diploma (Two years)
HND - Canadian Equivalency - Diploma (Three years) and a postgraduate certificate (one year)
Q1) Should he fill both in the education history.
Q2) For HND, duartion is 2 years after Industrial Training but WES evaluation is 3 years diploma and a postgraduate certificate. What would be the start and finish date to fill in the form. Is it Industrial training start date? or HND1 1st semester start date.
Q3) If he is to fill only HND as in the education history, what would be the duration - is it the OND start date to HND finish date
Thanks all. 1 Like |

Dear Engr2000,
I spoke to IRCC regarding your application received Sept 13, 2018. It is at the Case Processing Center in Ottawa.
Standard processing time is 6 months. This means 80% of routine applications are completed within that time frame, while 20% take longer.
Criminality passed Oct 11, 2018.
*Eligibility and security have not been initiated*. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
Medicals are valid until Aug 14, 2019.

Did I get discouraged? Yes! (I am Human)
Did I give up? No (My eyes was still on getting PPR before Christmas)
Two weeks down the line, I got RPRF request on November 28th and a week later I got PPR {December 7th, 2018}… I cried, apparently I have never applied for Visa before whether Visiting Visa, Tourist Visa or Student Visa and here I am with PR just like that.
Moral of the Story: whatsoever *is not initiated* can be completed in a space of 1 week.
So guys hang in there, I look forward to seeing more PPR rain on this thread before the end of January 2019.

I have another question please.
There are two questions asked in the form: level of education & Level of education(Canadian equivalent) as shown on ECA
For OND it's Two-year programme at a university, college, trade.....
What would be the best to pick for HND. Is it
"Two years"
or
"Bachelor's degree OR a three years program at a university. college. trade ...."
What do you advise, so as to avoid misrepresentation.
Thanks
Are you asking for the first or second question..
If it is level of education as shown on ECA then it should be Bachelors or 3 years diploma...

Preparation for IELTS Commenced January, my fear have always been writing, lo & behold, BC fall my hand with 6.5 in writing
1st Attempt: BC (03/03/2018) LRWS - 8.5, 7.5, 6.5, 8
At this point I was very broke, my friend have to raise me 80k to register for MOD and also pay for the remark at BC.
2nd Attempt: MOD (07/04/2018) LRWS - 7.5, 7.5, 6, 6.5 {This result even worse pass the first attempt}
Remark for 1st attempt was received from BC after 14 weeks with writing unchanged (Apparently if I had known I would have also tick speaking at least I would get my 15k )
3rd & Final Attempt: MOD (07/07/2018) LRWS - 8,9,7,7
For the IELTS hopefuls, just keep trying and don't give up... Our eyes should be on the GOAL.

So out of Curiosity, I mailed Ralph on the 15th November and I got the response below:
Dear Engr2000,
I spoke to IRCC regarding your application received Sept 13, 2018. It is at the Case Processing Center in Ottawa.
Standard processing time is 6 months. This means 80% of routine applications are completed within that time frame, while 20% take longer.
Criminality passed Oct 11, 2018.
*Eligibility and security have not been initiated*. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
Medicals are valid until Aug 14, 2019.
Sincerely,
Ms. Robyn Sullivan
Office of the Hon. Ralph Goodale, MP
Regina-Wascana"
Did I get discouraged? Yes! (I am Human)
Did I give up? No (My eyes was still on getting PPR before Christmas)
Two weeks down the line, I got RPRF request on November 28th and a week later I got PPR {December 7th, 2018}… I cried, apparently I have never applied for Visa before whether Visiting Visa, Tourist Visa or Student Visa and here I am with PR just like that.
Moral of the Story: whatsoever *is not initiated* can be completed in a space of 1 week.
So guys hang in there, I look forward to seeing more PPR rain on this thread before the end of January 2019.
COPR Landed today and it has ended in Praise.
This have been my Song Inspiration all though the application:
NARA by ---Tim Godfrey Ft. Travis Greene –
You've done so much for me
I can not tell it all
Narekele mo
If I had ten thousand tongues
It still won't be enough
Narekele mo
Chukwu na gwom'oria le
When You heal, You heal completely
Narekele mo
Chukwu mar'obimo
Isi ikendu le
Narekele mo
What shall I render to Jehovah?
For He has done so very much for me
What shall I render to Jehovah?
For He has done so very much for me
I wish you all the very best!
Big congrats Bro... I need someone who u can put me through this process 5 Likes 1 Share |
