Transcript, success letter and all the information I filled online still carries University of Port Harcourt, I really don't think that should be an issue. CPG is under UNIPORT, IPS to is. If I can get my refund quick I don port go WES. After 4 months
Pls can I reach them via twitter?

It's not about carrying UNIPORT, the email it was sent from isn't recognised by ICES. You should use WES, that's what I used, i also graduated from CPG.

ok thanks

I sent you a private message.

please help, I woke to a sad message from ICES saying they cant verify Uniport degrees now. After almost 4 months of waiting. Please advice on the next step to take. Thank you.

See the message below


We have completed more research regarding the credential you have submitted for evaluation. Unfortunately ICES is unable to provide assessments for degrees completed at Port Harcourt University because ICES has insufficient and inconclusive information regarding the validity of the degrees that were issued by this institution.  At a later date, should ICES receive more conclusive information regarding the validity of the degrees from Port Harcourt University, then ICES will resume evaluating degrees from the said institution. Until then, ICES will not be able to provide any assessments for degrees awarded by Port Harcourt University.
 
In accordance with our cancellation policy outlined in the ICES Credential Evaluation Application Package, we will issue refunds for $200.
 
Sincerely,
 
International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES)/bh

This is really worrisome. Also, why are they calling the school Port Harcourt University?

That sucks, really does.

No, I don't supervise �

I processed the transcript myself. It was sent from the Centre for Petroleum Geosciences, University of Port Harcourt via email.
Not a satellite campus and ICES never contacted the centre for verification. I have sent them a mail to confirm the details, hopefully they will change it. I really wonder where Port Harcourt University came from. On my dashboard its
showing University of Port Harcourt.

Was the transcript sent from uniport's transcript office?

If your centre used their email to send the transcript, then that's a very big mistake, please don't repeat that with WES.

Process your transcript, verification and everything from uniport henceforth please.

Congratulations!!! we are waiting for ours now, we just submitted our biometrics. SINP PNP too hopefully we see in Sasks who knows.....

It's PPR ladies and gentle men. All thanks to God Almighty.

My journey to cannyland started in 2016, wrote ielts but couldn't get the required scores. So I decided to seek for admission which I got in 2017 but was denied study visa thrice. In the process of applying to schools in US to study my desired course, we got nominated in 2018 by Saskatchewan, this pnp app was almost a year, done in 2017, so it came as a blessing.

Wrote ielts 2ce, spouse wrote after nomination because ielts was expired after nom.

Hello everyone

Can someone clarify which of this site I can use for ECA

https://www.icascanada.ca/home.aspx
or
https://www.alberta.ca/iqas-immigration.aspx

Good day. I am confused about the NOC to choose for my wife. She was a personal secretary for about a year to one of the top bosses in her place of work before she was moved to another unit as a relationship officer. She wants to claim points for the two roles as she has spent almost four years with the organisation.

Her job roles as a secretary was

• first point of contact: dealing with correspondence and phone calls
• reminds the manager/executive of important tasks and deadlines
• typing, compiling and preparing reports, presentations and correspondence
• managing diaries and organising meetings and appointments
• booking and arranging travel, transport and accommodation
• organise events and demonstrations for Blockmoulders
• managing databases and filing systems
• liaising with technical team and other staff to ensure smooth running of technical department
• collating and filing expenses.


Her job role as a relationship officer was
es of the Relationship Office
• Building and maintaining relationships with customers both whoesalers and retailers
• Managing key customers accounts and processing customer orders
• Conducting business reviews to ensure customers are satisfied with their products and services.
• Identify new opportunities and follow up new leads to further sales
• Letting customers know about other products the company offers
• Achieving customer relationship targets and KPI’s as set by the Head of Sales..
• Monitoring company performance against competition.


Please which NOCs does the roles fall under?

1. Personal secretary
2. Relationship officer.


Finally, if she finds the NOCs, I hope she can claim pints from the two of them.

They are two separate roles within the same odepartnent in the same organisation.

From my visit to the NOC page,

The similarities I saw is..

1. Personal secretary had solar roles with administrative assistant.

2. Relationship officer roles is similar to technical sales specialist.

Please help.

Thanks.

Both NOCs look good.

Yes, she can claim points using the two as long she meets the minimum skilled work experience listed here. Since it's the same company, her reference letter needs to state her previous positions held and list out the different details (roles/responsibilities, number of hours worked, salary, full-time job, paid etc) for each of the positions, upload the same reference in each placeholder and back it up with an LOE to indicate this.

I have o, last time they were still processing September 2018, lately they said they are now processing October 2018, I submitted in January but they claimedy doc's were all received in February and it's in queue for assessment in March so, is ma waiting, if you can do WES by all means go ahead...

Hello, please which address in Ikeja did you go? I thought NPC's office is in Babs Animashaun Surulere as stated on google. I'm hoping to start the process of getting attestation of birth. Also, regarding the requirement to go to High court, are we to do it ourselves or there's someone legit at their office that can do it on our behalf?

Scandinavian02:


Still on the Birth Certificate brouhaha. I decided to upload both our birth certificates (Non-NPC)and birth attestations fron NPC which i intend to get.

I left for Ikeja LGA early this morning to find out the process. I met a staff at the NPC office who told me that i need to swear an affidavit for myself and my sister from the High Court and pay #12,000 each for the attestation then I would have to wait for two weeks to get it.


Please is this the process and cost of the attestation? Can't I get it cheaper and faster than this?

NPC have offices in LGAs so I went to Ikeja LGA. They said affidavit can be handled by them too.

My Super Story

I never thought of relocating outta of the country. This was not because I was balling or enjoying the country but we just believe say Naija go dey alright las las. In August 2017, things changed when a sweet neighbour, turned spouse, opened my eyes and heart to it. She insisted she wants a life out of this country and if I want to be with her, I have to pursue this dream. See condition….Lol. As a result, I got my international passport, applied for US b1/b2 Visa and got it. Canada never crossed our minds. I wanted to jaapaa using the US visa and later bring her over. Aborted that mission after I came across this thread.
I came across this thread at PART 3. Read and read the whole thread before joining officially in July 2018 at PART 4.

IELTS

I gave my timeline in part 4 but let me summarize below:
1st attempt: 8.5,8.5,6.5,7.0 (LRWS) BC - Requested for EOR but no luck
2nd attempt: 8.5,8.5,6.5,7.0 (LRWS) MOD - Requested for EOR but no luck with writing but speaking upgraded to 7.5
3rd attempt: 8.5,8.0,6.5,7.5 (LRWS) MOD - Requested for EOR again but this time, God came through for me and I got an upgrade to 7 in writing.
I made use of LIZ paid version videos, Jay and ieltsadvantage to prepare for the test.

ECA

This is another roller-coaster process. I registered with WES since January 2018. All thanks to NASU strike at the time. I claimed points for two certificates from University of Ado Ekiti (B.Sc) and Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (ND).
For my ND, sending transcript was kinda easy but the verification part was killing. I had to upgrade my package with WES to premium so that I can track the verification mail couriered to the school. While tracking that, we got the guy in-charge of registrar email, he complained no internet to even check if they received the verification request from WES via email. They are used to responding to WES through courier. I sent some money for data and voila, the verification email was sitting there. They responded via email for me, even before the courier from WES arrived.
After I got my ECA report in July 2018, I observed a note was made on the report about a different DOB captured from my ND transcript. This was really disturbing because the observed DOB, if used will increase my age by 3 years. Yepaaa!!! I tried to correct this with the school but all effort to no avail. After so much effort, I talked to Newmum0615 and some other seniors in the house and they advised I go ahead but with an LOE. I did as advised at the end of the day but submitted alongside these documents; birth certificate, sworn affidavit for correction of DOB on ND Transcript, Attestation of birth from NPC, National Drivers Licence, and tax clearance certificate card and its details.

MEDICAL & PCC

Medical was with Qlife 27th October 2018. Booked the date after ITA. Never had high BP before but on the day, it was really bad. The more the lady tried, the worse the result. She finally recorded the first and the best of the 3 attempts.
Inspector Moshood came to the rescue for the PCC (8k) for both of us.

REFERENCE LETTER

I have only worked for one employer since graduation. When I see some JDs here with 15-20 duties, I got scared because mine had only 5. Anyways no issue at last.

PROOF OF FUND

This was gangster! We used 85% gift deed from my uncle and the balance from spouse. She transferred the dough to my account, therefore no need for consent letter. Drafted a gift deed for my uncle to sign and notarized it at Magistrate court in Sabo, Yaba. Move the fund into a new account and invest in 6 months FD. Uploaded 1-month statement of my account showing the inflow from my uncle and spouse as well as the outflow to the new account. Of course, the FD letter from the bank was also uploaded. No bank reference letter and no bank statement from the new bank.

Initially, I wanted to apply as married but spouse non-accompanying because of the CRS draw during that period and go through spousal sponsorship route later. Took madam to the registry to do the needful and book an ielts test date for her, when we discovered we can actually get up to 445 with good test result from her. Did I mention that she had 4 UK visa rejections and 1 US visa rejection? An agent ‘joined’ her with a guy and claimed they were married in their applications. This was disclosed in our application. We claimed she had a common law relationship with the guy, and that ended before we met.

Entered the express entry pool with 443 on 12th October 2018 and got ITA 15th October 2018. After we got the job mail, I called IRCC and the agent said, our file is in CIO with some info about Eligibility and all. I was worried about the age stuff and as a result I kept disturbing them for status. After new year break, I called again and the agent confirmed file transferred to Accra VO on the 14th December 2018. What? ACCRA? Waited till 23/1/2019 to order gcms note as fear no allow me rest. We got the note 30 days later with nothing as started but no issue raised by the case processing officer apart for RR(Review Required) for statutory questions (for spouse visa refusals).

I joined other fellow AVOrians. Those guys can give courage to the dead to stay alive. I know people have mentioned how we gather to pray and praise God. At first, some people got ADR for famous 5 (Updated POF, Bank Statement showing salary payments, payslips, Schedule A and Family Background information). We got ours that exceptional Saturday March 9th 2019 and submitted 13th March 2019. For the year of assessment, I submitted 1 year info i.e payslip and bank statement from the date of the ADR. After 2 weeks, I emailed Uncle Ralph but he responded that nothing has started. At the start of April AVO vexed with rain of PPR and we were hoping to get ours.

April 12th 2019 will moved to ip2. Then I know it’s close. But my too inquisitive being mailed Uncle Ralph again. Na so baba say make I try again in June 2019 if no response from CIC. I just gave up.

April 16th 2019, I got donotreply email from CIC, to check my account. When I saw another request letter, sincerely I thought it was another ADR. Infact when I opened it, I scrolled down quickly to see what they were asking for. To my greatest surprise, it was PPR.

I’m sorry for posting this late but I couldn’t announce my PPR at the same time with the only IRCC consultant, as we call him on November WhatsApp group, Joo2018. He got PPR the same day and the whole NL went agog. I just sempe for one side.

This is the time to appreciate everyone in here but most importantly @newmum0615, we exchanged over 30 emails, Ramj, Joo2018 etc. To my November AOR WhatsApp group, you people are too much. We are changing the group name soon to “November Applicants turned Canadians”. I wish everyone success at every stage of the process and pray that Canada favours us, more than expected. Peace out!!!

Thanks for your quick response.

They are both paid jobs, full time, 40 hours per week.

The only issue is this...

She got appointment letter for the secretary job in August 7,2015. She resumed on 7th of September 2015. She worked till the end of August 2015.

She got a later for the relationship officer role in August 2016 and resumed duties September 1, 2016. She has been on the same role till date.

From this can we say that she spent at least a year as secretary? Should I start counting from the day on her appointment letter, or the day she resumed work.

Finally what do we do if her company refuse to issue a reference letter.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello house. Please will WES evaluate B.Sc and PMP as two or more certificates?

Thanks a lot

[quote author=jadief post=78186121][color=#006600][/color]


What if a sibling is a Canadian citizen but lives in Nigeria and goes to Canada every 6 months?

Help needed for a friend. There was an error in the year of birth on her passport which she tried to change but was told she had to gobto Abuja, she dropped the idea. She was able to get US ans UK visas with the passport and has visited the countries multiple times. There is now an opportunity to correct the birth date and she wants to go ahead. However, she is scared of the implication for her application under EE, as she thinks there is a risk of being banned for misrepresentation, and also for the renewal of her American Visa.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Can you please provide details how was it resolved.
