I've always been excited about my birthday but its a different case this year.
In a couple of days they'll deduct 5 points from my CRS.
Can I postpone my birthday till December?

You'll still lick the draw soup anyways...lol

Good day all.this is my first time on this platform.I’m currently on getting my WES done but I’m a bit confused.
I had my first degree here in Nigeria but my Masters degree in the UK.i was told I can actually evaluate my masters degree alone so as to avoid the hassle of evaluating for WAEC.pls is this information valid?thanks

Again I won’t be writing my IELTS in Nigeria but all my applications will be done from Nigeria.is that fine too?

Thanks in anticipation.

Evaluate only your foreign degree. Should save you all the hassles with WAEC.

You can write IELTS from anywhere too.

Cheers!

6 months pay slip as well as investment certificate (T-bills, F.D or mutual funds as the case may be) should be sufficient.

Frances86:
I am the PA.I have my POF in a joint account with my spouse. My salary account has no significant savings. I have applied for 6months payslip from my place of work. In the circumstance, will the 6months payslip dispense with printing a 6months statement of my salary account? Since am not using my salary account as POF,do I still need to get SOA and bank ref letter from my salary bank account? Or just the payslip will suffice alongside SOA, bank ref letter from me and my hubby's joint account,?

Thanks for the swift response.�

Chai!, sense will not kill somebody in this journey. I don’t think you can do that though but let’s hear from the seniors.

pls guys more response needed

You can't do that, the foundation programme is part and parcel of your Bsc. Wes will not even evaluate your Bsc without the transcript of the foundation programme. You can only claim two or more certificates if the foundation program is a standalone course like OND or NCE. Cheers

Of course there are other courses but I highlighted those that are familar(studied) in Nigeria.

Please is there anyone who had a get a police report from the UK?if yes,can you guide me through?thanks

I have question about misrepresentation that i need to ask.

I applied for a US visa a while back and i got the visa with the help of an agent, he filled my form with a bogus present place of work and i agreed to it.

I got ita in the last draw but i'm scared to submit my application because i didn't intend to use the bogus place of work.

My question is, has anyone got PPR while submitting two different information on both applications?

I'm confuse and don't know what to do.

please house, advise.

Thanks

Hello,

Please I need a contact in Unilag's record office. My WES profile has been on hold after verification was sent to UNILAG. I need to confirm if it was received and attended to. Thanks in advance.

Hello house,

Please I need a contact in Unilag's record office. My WES profile didn't go on hold after verification was sent to UNILAG. I need to confirm if it was received and attended to. Thanks in advance.

You can have a diploma by September.

Hello people... I'm currently on a CRS of 432 so I intend to start a diploma to be able to have an additional certificate. It's a Professional Diploma in Education run by FCE Akoka. It runs for two semesters and a maximum of 40 credits is stipulated for the two semesters, including teaching practice. I'm about to pay the fees on Monday but i don't know if WES would evaluate it as equivalent to Canadian diploma. Is there a way I can know before going ahead with it?

Congratulations on your PPR. Mine will end in praise too.
Please how did you go about the US visa rejection especially the area where you earlier stated married? Did you write a LOE or got an ADR to explain it?
Thanks

TIMELINE
I sat for IELTS 4 TIMES and on numerous occasions I thought of giving up for so many reasons for people like me who resides in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State…you either travel to Calabar or Ph to write IELTS it was never easy for me…but I was pushed by @bronze25 to keep trying..

1st IELTS; L.6.5,R.7.0,W.6.5,S.7.5
2ND IELTS; L.6.0,R.6.5,W.6.5,S7.0
3RD IELTS;L.7.5,6.5,W.7.5,S.7.0 (at this point I was going crazy…I even lost it a night to the 4th exam…)
4th IELTS; L.8.0,R.7.0,W.7.5,S.7.5
Then CRS stood at 462 at this point and the round of draws on the 15th of November 2018 was 449 (Naso ITA no drop on time…my wife was almost crying and she didn’t eat until when ITA dropped around 9.30pm)

ITA- NOV 15,2018
AOR- DEC 8TH 2018
MED/BIO NOTIFICATION- JAN 17TH
GHOST UPDATE- JAN 18TH
RPRF REQUEST- FEB 1ST and I paid on FEB 2ND
PPR MAIL- FEB 5TH at around 1.35am
Family size is 3, and my Visa office was in Ottawa.

My story was a funny one because I have been struggling since I graduated from Law school, my first salary as a legal practitioner was meagre and my mother was the one sending me pocket money every month)…I was deeply in love with my University gf..same age,same class and same birth date…and we dated for 8yearsssss but when it seems I cant give her the life she wants and I really cant blame her….life was so bleak to me too..infact I only had one suit..she got a job in Lag and I was still earning peanuts…so we grew apart but because I loved her I left that place and move to Lag, not knowing what Lagos hold for me….and started distributing my CV in Ikeja firms, went to all the Law firms in Western House and took me.....before I could get a law firm that offered me 50k (also this was not constant as the man just started the firm and was in the process of building his client base but I was determined to make it in Lag).
When I don’t feel comfortable with the Lagos stress and the money does not commensurate with the stress and traffic (Mind you…I was born and bred in Ibadan so that Lagos life is what I never prayed for againnnnnnnnn) I decided to apply for US visa to run away and never look back but for where? Agent nearly killed me….he didn’t ask for vital information just filled rubbish..my education history was wrongly mentioned, let us just thank God..no consequence whatsoever and to top it all the purpose of visit is to “attend my friends baby shower” I just knew I can never get that visa but he has been successful wit a lot of people and he was well recommended…so I attended the interview but the VO didn’t spend up to 3mins before he handled the blue paper to me….i wanted to cry but I continued with my life.
So everything started changing for me when I met my wife, she was in her final year when I met her and I swear when I first saw her I told her "I want to marry you"….she looked at me like a mad man,although I was still earning meagre salary at my law firm but within 3weeks of accepting my offer to date me(I am a very fine boy I just don’t have money at the time) she later told me she has been highing me too since the day she saw me and that infact 2 of her friends were interested in me….so within a period of 3 weeks of accepting my offer….i got my current job and the salary is something I never expected in my life!.....A Chinese company and my salary is times 8 of what I was earning in Lag….i fainted oooooo no be lie…it was when I got my first alert that it dawn on me that its real…..then I told my wife that I want to marry (ara baba ti kun) she was like my parents wont agree,they want me to do my masters in US….i was like I cant wait any longer,let me meet them and I will convince them….so she agreed that she should talk to her parents first and then hear there reactions…..naso everything finalize ooo…..the father only asked “is that what you want?” but the mother didn’t agree oooo until after 7months…even before she agreed to the nikkah date na war but now she is the happiest and mama dey always ask for the videos of her grandson….infact her nickname in her school is youngest grandmama because my mother-in-law is still sexy ooooo.
So I continued with my life, money kept flowing in and I have no reason to leave Naija…then my company kept sacking people for no reason,the project stopped coming in and my salary has been slashed 3times..but still it is still better than going back to law firm where they used you anyhow and yet get paid by peanuts….so I travelled home in my car in Dec 2017, and as I got to Benin…I had an accident my engine burst into two….i first had brake failure and then noticed that a lot of people were stranded on the road between Benin to Ore in Ondo state….i later heard that it’s a very common practice by the towing vehicle association on that road to pour some jazz during the festive period just to tow your vehicle to nearby mechanic shop…because there are so many vehicles and stranded passengers on that day with problem ranging from radiator,engine knock, tire getting bursted and accidents….the towing vehicle I saw agreed to tow my vehicle to a village for 100k…just few kilometres away and right there that I got tired of Nigeria….i saw people who have spent 4days on the road, I met a guy who just bought his car and was using it for Uber in Lagos…he bought two engines within 3days….and I was like if this notion is true why do we hate ourselves in this country…why would you make life difficult for your fellow countrymen just because you want to make money….so I paid just for my car to be safe, logged in a motel (my God, there was bed bug on the bed, tanwindin in the toilet and it was amosquitoe infested area) couldn’t sleep overnight….so when I got the car to Abeokuta thanks to my brother-in-law who brought a mechanic and drove down to Benin to tow the car…we started gisting and told him my ordeal he even spent over 5hrs in traffic because the road was so busy that day (24th of Dec 2017) so he was just mentioning developed country…talking about different means of transportation during holiday periods and how those people make life easy for their citizens, so he adviced me to apply to Canadian Universities because it was the easiest route(this was his belief that time) naso I started applying to various schools oooo….. TRU,Royal Castle University,Saskachewan,UBC,Winnipeg ….all the schools that was still open for admission not even thinking of my car (because I was to buy another engine) by January I was so broke that the last 15k was used to fuel my car….my wife and son had to follow me on road back to Uyo (I am always scared to fly so they always go by air while I go by road) and my son was just barely 3months then…infact I was just praying for us to have a smooth journey…and you know as January dey long…..how I survived Jan 2018 is unknown to me…..i was just entering keke up and down because my son needs comes first and I am just a salary earner with wife not working…then the wait for the schools to give me admission started….thats when for the first time in my life I joined Nairaland..started asking questions on the Student visa forum thinking atleast one of the school will give me admission………LOL I thought wrong,none of them give me admission! At this point, I have became close to @bronze25, we were both chasing Sasckatchewan LLM admission so when we were rejected, I was telling her that I will try again later(because I always thought school route is my best shot at entering Canada)..then I received my best advice from @bronze25 to apply for EE…I told her its an herculean task that someone introduced it to me in 2015 but everything involved seems like Greek to me….then she broke it down piece by piece to me and t[introduced me to this wonderful family…..and the rest is history.
I joined this e-family in part 3 or 4….and I posted my first question in March….the first person that took his time to respond to me step by step was @Mcstan….I can never forget…then everybody became helpful and the whole process became my Quran that I read everytime,everyday and everywhere until I became fully abreast with the whole process that I am graudually turning into an agent.

ECA
I did my ECA with IQAS, and my wife’s own with WES….it was pretty straightforward and it both came out as fast as possible…..i had a link at OAU transcript office so he helped facilitate it on time. This was before the WAEC buhahaa.
IELTS
This was a struggle on its own…me and wify was thinking it would be walk in the park, but we thought wrong her ielts was L.6.0,R.9.0,W.6.5,S7.0…she only did once and as the PA I only needed 8777 for us to beat the CRS Score at the time but……..i even thought I will never pass IELTS. I travelled to another states to sit for all the four exams…the last one was done in Lagos….i was going nut a night to the exam…I was so angry that I didn’t pick my wife’s call…I really don’t know what came over me that day…even my confidant that night said there was a tone she doesn’t understand….and @bronze25 really helped me in my writing…she just wanted me to succed…and my prayers for you is that your PPR will come before April…nobody has never had faith in me like you did, she just kept pushing me….she is a friend everyone should pray for….and funny thing about it is that we saw for the very first time on Jan 22 when I came to Lag for my biometrics.
POF
I only submitted my payslips(I am always paid in cheque) so I submitted one year cheque DEC 2017 to Dec 2018 and my sister gave me 3M….this has been in my account since June last year untouched (but I still did gift deed because they can ask for 1year salary statement) I didn’t do any money market fund….i just left all the money in my account.
MEDICALS
I was contemplating on IOM when my friend of 10 years @beeodun came through for a swap in Qlife…..i didn’t know it was my friend that was helping me out until we exchanged names to forward a message to Qlife then what followed was a story for another day….thanks dear for that kind gesture your PPR is soon.
I want to thank everybody @joo2018 @mcstan @ifeoma77 and everyone who has been of great help to this forum…I pray we all receive the goodnews soon….May God continue to bless each and everyone!

And in the voice of my brother @TEECANN “I HAS ENDED IN PRAISE AND IT WILL ALL END IN PRAISE FOR EVERYBODY READING THIS TESTIMONY” AAMEEN IN SHA ALLAH

What’s your certification? Acca or ACA.

This happened to me while filling the application form. Check you NOC. The primary NOC you are claiming, and for which you want the application to be based on must be above 1 year (I think, or 2) of experience.

On some other threads I saw where someone said he had the same issue because he picked Quebec, once he changed it, he became eligible.

All the best.

Stencil:
Can anyone please help me with this?
I just submitted my profile and it says I'm ineligible to apply despite meeting the 67 point criteria and with my CRS above 460.
The POF I entered is above required amount. I entered 3 years of work experience + 30 hours a week.
Any ideas?

Please guys, I need answers to these questions:

Does ICES evaluate ND and HND as 2 or more certificates or just 4 years advanced diploma
Does ICES send evaluation report directly to IRCC or how does this work?
What s the difference between ICES courier or regular mail option?

Thanks
