Please I need a head start as I just got a grip to start this process. Please can someone respond to these questions:

1. Do I need to do WES and IELTS before starting any of the process?

2. Do I need to pay WES for each of my credential to be evaluated. For instance, I have HND Computer Science, Bsc from a University in UK , PMP and Microsoft Certifications. I am a Software Developer.

3. I am over 40 but if I want to boost my score via pronvincial nomination, what do I have to do? Do I apply to each of the provinces as the first step or after 1 and 2 stated above, I can now commence.

I hope someone will pick this up to be addressed. Thank you.

xyoung:
Pls does WES evaluate University of Port Harcourt.?

I just got new information this morning.

Someone pls confirm because I want to pay for ECA today to WES.

WES accept uniport certificate and transcript...ICES does not. All the best.

1. Yes, my spouse did verify her result to her ECA. We used both ECA and IELTS to claim points.

2. No, ECA isn’t required to use your IELTS result.

hiiphy:
congratulations

a quick question please

did you spouse also verify her/his result to get ECA or you used only IELTS

someone told me ECA is required before i can use my husband IELTS scores

thank you

I just got my WES evalutation and its not what i expected. I have a university degree and i am also a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigerian(ICAN). The summary of the evaluation from WES is 4 years Bachelor degree. Please i need help, what should i do next? Thanks.

ICAN has no value in Canada only ATS ( this equals to 1 yr diploma cert)

Does anyone know if I can claim two or more certificates from wes with a certified analytics professional certificate?

Thank you. Yours shall come soon by the grace of God. It shall end in praise.

pejuhazel:
Awwwwww....my fellow December AOR, congrats.

ENGRAGHA2:
The school no longer exist and you will rounding up service soon? where is your PPA now?

There's nothing keeping me at PPA apart from my position as the CDS president, so I had to go back home to my folks.


I only enter town to arrange our CDS programs a day before CDS, after which I travel back home again.

ladymarshall:
She said the school closed down last month and will be rounding up NYSC next month. I don't think corpers teach until the day of their *graduation*, (can't remember the correct term for that now ), some get a month free before they collect the cert, I think.

We are to teach until our POP, for corps members in ONDO state. I do not know about other states.

Presently, all my fellow 2018 batch B corpers are at work in their respective PPAs.

Even though we have less than 3 weeks to go.

Can someone just try to respond to this please. Just a little goodwill from someone will go a long way. Just want to know if this is for me before I waste precious time and money. Thanks

Hi, you can't use an uncle or aunt to claim points for Express Entry. Your age is still very favorable, and so is your Master's degree in progress. Yes, you can use your NYSC. Simulate your CRS with your current profile - 25, Bsc, one year of work experience, current IELTS.

Then simulate when you're done with your Masters. That alone will give you a significant boost in points.

Also simulate with a better IELTS. Then based on what you get, you should know the best course of action.

My two (optional) cents: If you don't have too long left of the Masters program, you can decide to finish that and get an ECA for it. It should boost your scores enough to get an ITA, since you are still quite young. (Unless the simulation with a better IELTS pushes you over the 450+ mark)

Thank you so much amaya21. How can I simulate my CRS?. I just finished my course work. If ASUU will let it, I should be done with masters soon.

And also, if started my WES over four months now. It’s just at pending waiting for the school to reply. What should I do about that?

When I sent my btech transcript, I included a photocopy of my SSCE and the scratch card. Now it says, scratch card accepted on my profile but the SSCE was rejected. What should I do? Can I just evaluate the BTech and leave the SSCE?

Thanks in anticipation

I didn't go about it in a special way, just make sure you have more than enough funds. I calculated with 282 but GTB deducted using 278 thereabouts

jofojo:
Please how did you go about it? I have a gtb MasterCard but I've not been able to make the payment with it

Masekid:
Thank you. Yours shall come soon by the grace of God. It shall end in praise.

Amen o, thank you

Congratulations!!! Hope you booked your flight as I told you yesterday.

Finally it ended in praise. Congrats. Now your dreams are coming true. Once you get your passy, America is nothing, you just dey come and go

Don't mind those talk talk people. Marriage this, marriage that. Single ladies can't just live life in peace in naija . Na single you single o, you no kuku kill person Don't worry, you will find better Le boo in Canada and even if you don't find, there are 1000 and 1 goals to achieve, marriage or not, in a society where there are abundant opportunities open to all and no one judges your marital status as a single mature lady. In fact marriage isn't even counted as an achievement, it's considered personal choice. No one cares about that.

All the best to you in your new country!

Hallo @Richness1104 script duty calls

Its PPR!!!!!!!!!
I can't wipe the smile of my face!!!
Its been a long long long Journey... But as we say and as it has been true and trusted..." It shall end in praise!!"

Long post Alert!!

So... I heard about this process through my best friend. Her husband was the PA and he live in a different town from her. I also didn't live in the same town with either of them. She only knew when it was time for Medicals that her husband had commenced the process. She didn't know much about the whole process

As i said earlier not all of us will get PPR after 3 or 6 months... But God has got us. He will perfect that which he has begun in his time.
Who ever you are... At what ever stage...if you believe this is for you... Then go for it full blast... Though the silence may come, though the ADR's may come... We are will be victorious!! God has got us ...

Came to this thread in part 3 was active then but over the silence of the process i got drowned with emotions... But i am so so grateful to all of you.. The encouragement i got this morning was amazing and it came with the favor i needed. Thank you All!!

Topsmamen:
You can get a one and same person affidavit.

Hello, please I'm about to register for my ECA using ICES but I saw where they said all ICES clients receive two copies of their report. and the I will pay additional 20CAD for the second copy. please Is the second copy compulsory since I will be charged for it.

secondly, does delivery address has to be Canada?

congrats, may Canada favour you

So... I heard about this process through my best friend. Her husband was the PA and he live in a different town from her. I also didn't live in the same town with either of them. She only knew when it was time for Medicals that her husband had commenced the process. She didn't know much about the whole process

Anyways, when i was a kid i went to an american
boarding primary school made for white missionary kids. As their parents where in the vainyard their children needed a school they could go to which they could then proceed to high school another american school in Nigeria or go to America. So from the age of 5 i was introduced " the american life". We were only 5 Nigerians in my class. The other Nigerians were from rich families. Mind you my Dad was a pastor with ECWA ...on Very little pay. A church member told my dad he was lead to put me in that school. There was no way my parents could afford it. I was sponsored from grade 1 to grade 6. By the time i was ready for secondary school my scholarship was over. I proceeded to the best Nigerian school my parents could provide. It was different, i was made fun off cause of my accent. I still had hopes that one day i will see that America that i had learned so much of and sang the anthem so well. After secondary school i was one of them students everyone thought i was going abroad. I wrote SAT and TOFEL and i did well but not enough to get full scholarship. One day my dad ( now late) called me and told me " Adadaddy, you know my salary and you know i don't have anyone that will help with this desire. God has not laid it in my heart to ask any church member. " By the way my dad was an orphan from the age of 11 and he does not have a brother or sister, just him alone till he married my mom and had his own family. My mother is the first child in her family and all her siblings at one time or the other were living with us and my dad paid for their school fees, So they to were also just starting off in life.
After my dad told me this i broke down and made any dream of living abroad Die. die die die die. Tops i will do all the best i can finish with a 1st class of least 2-1 in law school so i can get a good job and one day go abroad for vacation and come back. I will make it in this country i told myself. yea secondary school peeps laughed at me... But yeah i kept my promise to my self i went to Dubai and India for vacation while working. Was proud of my self... But that living abroad...i told myself it was not for me.

Fast forward to when my friend told me about the FSW. I Couldn't believe i had almost everything required to apply. Can i resurrect this desire i had buriesdso many years ago?

Because my best friend's husband was is in a different state and he was a banker he couldn't hold my hand through the process as much as i knew they would have wanted to help.

I first applied for IELTS January 2018. Thought results was OK didnt know 7.5 in listen was a NO No. Me believing in my american English wetin go dey there that i can't pass. Also i had never failed an exam before in my life... anyhow after results showed... I told myself it was cause i didnt read. I wrote again in March I read for this particular test but. At this time i saw 7.5 again in Listening... I kukuma tell myself it was a sign from God... This was not for me... Was angry... why God will let me know about this process just to limit me at the first stage.
Called by best friend cried out my eyes and she somehow encouraged me to write again i wrote again.. I focused on Listening... My weakness. This time i smashed dead. . got a 9 in listening.
Then i started ECA... No body tell me say na just Msc.. Na so i process my LLb, that one cost me money... From an easter university... Men that one cost big time. then Law school ... Law school can be slow for transcripts... Then Msc for uni jos. Na so i do cross country...East west north parts of Nigeria for transcripts... Verification from WES another hustle... Asking all these institutions if they have received WES mail... No be small thing.

She sha... The day ECA arrived i jump inside pool that same day i got ITA. August 8th... Na so i dey feel good... This time i believed God was on my side...i had all my documents... And waited to September to do medicals.
AOR September 15th 2018. I and my dad were very very close. He meant the world to me...he was my first best friend. Though he was a pastor you could tell him anything... Like i told him the when i first has sex...i need someone to hold me accountable cause i didn't want to do it again till i got married. My dad prayed with me and never said anything to mom. he said it was my secret and it was up to me to tell her. But it was best to tell her the day or a day before i was getting married. But i must tell my future husband to be when i knew the relationship was getting serious. Lols.

I went to my dad's grave and told him i was about to submit my application. i submitted... And went home.
I thought tops my application will be approved tops 3 months. I screen shot people PPR stories that were early... Sidelined the ones that took too long ...God just dey do me big Yimu!

Na so silence after MEP /BIO
Nothing... I am the oldest daughter my younger sister is married... The youngest is getting ready... Am the only singer senior female staff in my office... Things seems to be happening for others except me. ... Trust villagers extended relatives to make fun of me to my face and to my Mother... They would say" who go marry this one"... Very close Family friends would ask me what wanted them to pray for i told them i wanted PPR most were shocked as they expected me to say marriage. I told God i want PPR first... perhaps my husband dey wait for me for Canada... As i don dey naija all my life husband no show...na white man i go marry get Carmel babies. Lols.. Or black man but my babies will be Canadians.

Na so people i applied with were getting PPR after three months... In face most of them have landed... Ottawa no reply me. I called CIC every month yet nothing. Is settled my mind to Six months.. I told myself las las they go give me before 6month timeline go reach.

6 months do and pass...that's when depression the stare at me in the face...

I went to Ghana for a short vacation to get out of the circumstances of my life. i didn't want to go far just in case there was an ADR or PPR. am grateful for Ghana. It put things in perspective and i had reached that point that i was fine either way... Whether PPR came or not.
I came back May 8th 2019.

Friday, May 10th 2019 few days to 8 months post AOR i saw i got an update. I quickly checked... It was a ghost update. Na so they next saga started. I called CIC on Monday 13th May, the agent told me that i should expect a letter soon. I waited( thought 8 months was long... Na this was the longest wait) till Friday 17th May. I called CIC again. This time i was told congratulations by the agent that my application had been approved on 13th May 2019 and i should have received a letter from AVO. i said ah wetin AVO and me get in common as my application was in Ottawa all this while. He said they issued it to AVO to send it to me. I told him i was sure i didnt not receive any email. He them forwarded Accra's email address and said i should email them telling them i was aware that my application was approved and i was yet to receive any letter.
I sent the email immediately. Didn't hear from them after 4 days... Called again Friday 23rd May. This time the agent said he will send an email to AVO and if i still didn't receive a letter within 2 weeks i should call them again.
Ah Sunday i decided to tell oga Raphl MP wetin day go on. I email him yesterday.
Today was at work as usual, around 3pm i got an email from CIO not AVO. They said they were sure AVO sent a Ready for VISA Letter on 13th May 2019. That i should check my junk, spam, and inbox but if i was sure i didn't receive the email i should reply. Omo i check my mails again for checking sake... And replied them immediately... For my mind i said tops they would respond in a week. But about 3:30pm i received the Golden Mail!!!

Yes if you read my earlier post... immediately called my family not to tip toe any more... That it had landed... Ah you can imagine my mom's joy... It was more than mine... She said now when the extended relatives bring me up in their jist to mock her... She will say ... Eh... She dey obodo oyibio... They go shock eh!!! You know Nigerian and the respect they give you when you have a child abroad Lols.

if you dont have to show your birth certificate do you have to still get the affidavit?

Yes, you will need to get the NPC birth attestation document in place of your birth certificate. Though you must first get a declaration of age affidavit which is a prerequisite in getting the attestation of birth from NPC.

Topsmamen:
It is valid for 6 months although it's stated as 3 months on the PCC.

This got me thinking...

Please who has any contact in Unilag Transcript office to assist one with the processing?

thank you

As @ when i did mine both copies were already covered in the $200 fee, only additional copy after this will cost $20, perhaps u need to check well.
Moreover, u only need one copy, since they are exactly the same

[quote author=Masekid post=78786520]It’s PPPPPPRRRRRRR guys...

I grudgingly woke up this morning, did all my morning routines and I was about to step out when something in me told me to check my mail and viola! PPR mail was sitting pretty in my inbox. I couldn’t believe it!!! I was numb for a micro second.

Congratulations!

I just got my WES evalutation and its not what i expected. I have a university degree and i am also a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigerian(ICAN). The summary of the evaluation from WES is 4 years Bachelor degree. Please i need help, what should i do next? Thanks.

1. Yes, start your WES evaluation as it can take up to 2 months. You can book IELTS to be in 2 months time - depending on how well prepared you are for the exam.

2. No you don't pay for each qualification if sent together. In your case, I think your HND and BSc can qualify for two or more certificates

3. After 1 and 2, you can commence (it's usually best to have all documents ready before entering the process but you can set your profile up and update at intervals, depends on what you like) then apply to the provinces you're interested in.

All the best!

1. Yes, you need to. I'll suggest you start with the WES evaluation first and while that is ongoing, prepare for IELTS.

2. No, you don't need to pay for each certificate that is going to be evaluated. You'll pay 200CAD for all, i.e, if you're evaluating one certificate it's 200CAD, if it's three certificates it is still 200CAD.

3. Sorry, I don't know anything about provincial nomination.

Please have anyone sent transcript to WES via electronic mail before?
