Good evening everyone.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread in one way or the other.

So.. i finally decided to get on with my application and the first place someone told me is to make Nairaland my Bible.

Peeps!!! i have read and read pages of the thread and my head is almost blowing. it is a whole lot of information to process.

Can i please ask for a buddy that can put me through. This is a plea.

Background
- Single
- Msc
- 4 years work experience in financial sector
- 26 years

Not sure what else is required but would be grateful if i can just have a partner to mentor me though.

Thanks everyone.

We appreciate you for checking in with us.

Page one of this thread is most important. It has everything basic, check here https://www.nairaland.com/5187408/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

Diploma+BSC could be evaluated as two or more certs by WES based on previous sucesses but I am not sure about Uniben’s diploma, perhaps other Uniben alumni who are more informed on it could respond more authoritatively.

Are you asking if a Bachelors degree in Engineering would be evaluated as a Masters degree? Why would you think so? Or perhaps I misread the question. Engineering is not evaluated as a professional degree for EE application tho.

@Avidreader748 has a Neco contact in Minna


I appreciate your response. Thank you. I shall channel all of my energy into reading part 1 then. With regards to the latter, it was a wrong interpretation of some other information. I shall contact Avidreader748 too.. Thanks

Hello all,

I'm having trouble paying our application fee online with a Polaris Mastercard, total is CAD$2850...which bank mastercards have been successfully used? I have a GTB account and we also have a First Bank account.

Thanks

michaelmahone:
Good day Madam. Pls I heard the NECO result is to verify your DOB. But my NECO result does not have DOB on it. Does your result have DOB on it? And can I still use this my original NECO result if it does not have the DOB? Thanks

Thanks so much.
I spoke with the contacts yesterday - Mr Omoyeni and Mr Moses. I was told to come after exams which is July 15th.

For all those requesting for NECO, you may need to wait till then.

This is NECO processing simplified.

Good evening house, please I need your input.

My husband is reluctant to get started. Can I be the principal applicant ? I have a B.Sc in Computer science but never worked as a Computer scientist. I also have a certificate in Oracle Database Administration as an Associate. But never practiced.
You don't have to work in your field of study to qualify for EE. As long as your degree can be evaluated and your work experience in a valid NOC (0, A, B). (Please see page 1)


Worked in Customer service and Banking (Loan recovery ) for 2 years and 2 and half years respectively. You will get max points for 3+ years of experience provided you can get the proof of work experience. (Please see page 1)


I have worked as a cook in my food business for 6 years since I resigned at my bank job. Will I stand a chance ? Yes ma'am, you stand a chance.

My husband on the other hand is the Country Program Manager at a Solar energy company, he studied Statistics. No Masters degree nor certificates.
We both have B.Sc only. You both need to evaluate your degrees.

I am 32 years old and he's 36 years old. You should be the primary applicant. Your age is an advantage.

I just want to get started, I'm tired of taking in all the information without getting anything done as I have relied on my husband to do stuff.
You can get started and he will follow suit when he sees progress.

Can I get my culinary school certificate evaluated to begin with ? I just re-read your degrees and you might actually qualify for two or more degrees. I am not a 100% sure about this so I'll cc Topsmamen.

What's the first step to take, please ?
1. Calculate your score here using 8777 for IELTS (LRWS).
Edit: Did a quick simulation, you might need to max out IELTS to get into the 450/460s
2. Start evaluating your degree(s) as this is time consuming. Please note that WES requires WAEC for Nigerian degrees. If you don't want that hassle, you might want to look at other evaluation bodies. (Please see page 1)
3. Study and write IELTS.
4. Embrace the warmth of the Express entry pool, the water is "perfect" now, things might get rowdy after the election.

you do not need a lagos contact for NECO everything will be processed in Minna
their website is also very functional too so you can call the contact numbers on there
all you need to apply
1) buy 2 NECO scratch cards
2) use one of the cards to generate your neck result from the website and print (at least 2 copies)
3) write a letter to NECO requesting that your statement of result be forwarded to your desired destination
4) now if you are sending to WES be sure to quote your reference number and clearly write out their address also state that you are enclosing in the envelop a second scratch card to for posted along with their response to WES
5) Go to remita website and select NECO to make payment
6) now choose your courier service (I used DHL to enable me track the movement, you can also use the tracking number on the envelop addressed to WES on the WES website)
7) buy two courier bags first one should be addressed from you to NECO Minna (enclose in that one the printed statement of result and your application letter and proof of payment on remita(government payment platform)
then the second envelop must be addressed to WES from NECO the second NECO scratch card should be inside this envelop
9) then post to NECO
10) cost 30k+

PS: for 7 above I received a call from a NECO staff telling me I under paid and needed to add 4k, he gave me the option on going back to remita and paying of sending the money to him to make the payment there at their office. It was a risk I had to take cos having to post that one again would cost me another 4k+ so i took the chance. Luckily the guy made the payment and sent me a photo of my receipt .

Don't worry its not stressful don't be intimidated by the long post

Infact let me add the response from NECO

Do find below the procedure for result confirmation.


Apply for confirmation of result, the fee of which is 1,050 Naira payable into the National Examinations Council's Treasury Single Account (TSA), payment of which can only be made in Nigeria. Attach the original copy of the payment receipt and an online copy of your result to your letter of request for result confirmation. You are to submit via speed post/courier service delivery directly to the following:



· OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR,
· NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL,
· KILOMETER 8, BIDA ROAD, MINNA,
· NIGER STATE.



· Please note: you are to make provisions for the posting of the result confirmation to the destination school/institution, by including a self-paid speed-post return envelope, already addressed to the recipient, as this will facilitate quick delivery. Also, note that you need to indicate the recipient in your application as we do not give confirmed results to candidates directly.

For details regarding payment into TSA account, kindly contact the Account section of any NECO office nearest to you.

I don't think BCS will increase my point when I already have Masters degree. I think all these exams are for someone with either Bsc or ND to upgrade to 2 or more certificates. Msc is already bigger than 2 or more certificates. No point registering for BCS or other diplomas. Am I making sense?

My e-family, please help me look into this. I want to be sure I'm saying the right thing or with my Masters, can I still enrol for BCS?

oluwareni:
One quick question please.

I have 2 more paper left for my ACCA qualification. Can I get any point on the back of this?

*fingers crossed*

Hello house,

Please who has used the option of western union to pay for WES? Does it work from Nigeria?

WeAreDLucky1s:
Feedback to those who might have same question later on.

I was able to get across to IDP MOD IELTS CENTER today via their Telephone Line;

09023201067, 09025756632, 09025850398


Please can you kindly send me the IDP preparatory materials to me. I am still in my ECA but want to start preparing for ielts. I intend to write with MOD.

I sent you a pm.
These numbers are available from 9am-4pm Mon.-Fri only.

The Test Center office only open on Saturday if its a Test day, available for test takers.

*IDP MOD affirmed they DO NOT offer Computer Based Test or Computer Delivered Test in Nigeria as at now.



Also for the record;

- You can pay without going to the bank or visiting their office.
- I paid via the Mobile Banking App (N68,000) and made unedited screenshot of the "Successful" notification as well the SMS alert.
- The screenshots including Identification Card/Int'l Passport and the Booking confirmation email was forward to their official email: info@ielts.ng
- Booking approved and confirmation of payment was done within 5 hours via email.
- Upon confirmation, the email also comes with a link to IELTS preparation resources/materials. - Recommended.

Note: BC offers CBT for IELTS GT.

I hope this is helpful.

Omarzx:
Good morning all. Please I need clarification on this Ices process and I want to know if I'm doing the registration properly.
I don't understand the additional order fee .Please is it necessary.
I attached a screenshot of the page

Suspectzero:
I've done quite a bit of research on this myself. Getting into Canada won't be a problem so long as you're a permanent resident, that is you have your COPR. It's the country you'll be transiting through that you should beware of to make sure they'll let you through with limited time on your passport. I suggest you inquire from the airline you plan to use if your passport expiry date would be a problem before you purchase their ticket.
