I used Ieltsonline as well and I aced it once. The only tip that I feel you need is concentration in listening! You can’t afford to be distracted, as it is you are good to go but I feel when you are in the exam hall, try not to think about any other thing Coz it’s unlike reading and other modules that you can go back to it. Also, the first and 2nd parts of the questions are what you need to get all the 20, also it could be your spellings, the answers should be in capital letters, and try to follow the story to know what fits well in the passage, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BE DISTRACTED. Lastly, practice practice practice. All the best!

Nice advice, but i want to confirm something please. Is it true that the listening practice tests on ieltsonline are somewhat tougher than the real test ( so as to prepare students). Because i used to score very high with Cambridge until i tried ieltsonline it took a while before getting a hang of it.

I don't think they are more difficult, if you ask me I would say they are the same.

However, during the real test, you have people around you and could be easily distracted. There's also the complexity of whether you're listening from a speaker or headset.

In my opinion yes. It can be a morale killer, try to avoid them as much as is possible.

I struggled in listening with ieltsonlinetests.com practice tests, getting 33 and 34 uncountable times, scoring 35 and above only a couple of times. I remember 1 day to my exam, I wanted to boost my morale, I did another test; I still got 34. I just decided to give myself the extra one mark to make it 35, telling myself one of my wrong answers was correct, to motivate myself that I was good enough wink. Well, at the end, I scored 8.5 in the real test. I believe Listening tests in ieltsonlinetests.com are quite tough, but please, I encourage anybody to stick with it. It makes you better in the long run.

Hahaha funny man, i just noticed it was kind of different but it's good for practicing i agree

This application is one of the most life-changing application one can ever go through, you can't move forward or backward, you can't buy new car, rent/buy new house, change house appliances to your taste, go on vacation anyhow, change kids schools as you would like, organise dream wedding, to pay children school fees will be paining you etc because you just can't touch that pof anyhow, you keep managing, more like self-induced poverty in case PPR comes anytime soon,

I think i agree its more difficult with ieltsonline.com . I started practice with it and i struggled with 32,33,34, 35. i used cambridge few days to the test and i breezed through most of the practice. i think onlinetest.com prepared me for the task well. i had a 9 in listening.

GUYS, IT’S MY TURN TO JUBILATE

IELTS Feb 14, 2019 LRWS 8.5, 8.5, 7, 8 (1st attempt) PA
LRWS 6, 5, 6, 7.5 (1st attempt) Spouse
EE Profile created March 3, 2019 (CRS 458)
ITA March 6, 2019 (Cut-off 454)
NOC 1111 (Fin. Accountant & Auditors)
Medicals April 12, 2019 Q-Life (Family of four)
AOR April 26, 2019
MEP/BIL June 6, 2019
Biometrics completed June 11, 2019
PPR Oct 26th, 2019
VO Ottawa

I had started preparing my PPR gist before now because I knew I will be too excited to type when it comes. I will say to all reading this, do not give up on your dreams.., whether is EE dream or any other dream, just keep pushing.

I have lived outside Nigeria before but the urge to relocate was never there until I started having kids then the urge came so hard upon me. My children must be better than me and foundation is key. Hubby never wanted to relocate, he was always bothered about starting again from the scratch. I just could not understand it “No bi scratch we dey for Naija?” lol and to think that both of us had foreign Msc, I was 32 at the time and we both are qualified Accountants (ACA) although that did not add any point to us, it will be so painful to let this pass us by, what will I tell my children? So, I kept praying until God used a friend of his to convince him after much talk, he agreed in April 2018, so immediately I started our ECA with WES.

ECA
Mine was straightforward, went to a private school so the hustle was not much. They verified in time and I got my ECA on the 29th of August 2018. For hubby, I ordered his MSc and sent his certificate to WES. He thankfully used a contact for his Bsc and that helped us well. Hubby’s ECA was in on Oct 5th 2018.

IELTS
During the wait period for ECA, I was reading like am preparing for Post UME, come from work, do house chores put the kids to sleep and start reading and I had no house-help then. Hubby was encouraged seeing my determination but still never read. I kept telling him to read but I did not push before he changes his mind. Meanwhile I had enrolled for classes in April 2018 because that was when I had time so when the lectures ended in June I told the organizer that when am ready to write he will help me register (something I could have done on my own, I just thought since he tutored me, he could as well just help me register I didn’t see anything bad or lazy about it), fast forward to Oct 5th when hubby’s ECA came out I sent the Man 150,000 to register for us, Na so the money enter voicemail ooo. In short, no bi small thing, to cut a very long story short I was able to pick him up in January 2019 after many failed attempt of trying to catch him in his office. We locked him up and was able to retrieve 130k, the rest is history I just decided to let him go. He told me the charge was 150k but was going to register us under IDP which was 68k at the time, I later got to know this from him. During the period the guy disappeared I could not believe it because I expected better, so I just stopped reading, everything was paused.

After we caught the thief the urge to read came back strongly, I registered for IELTS myself this time, exams were Feb 14, 2019, Hubby only read the night before the exam, on our way to the Hall, he was telling me to give him tips on how to write the exams can you imagine!!! Well am the “PA” so I decided I will do my best in this exams any score he gets, I will accept.
Result came out first attempt I had LRWS 8.5,8.5,7,8 my Hubby had 6,5,6,7.5 I didn’t even waste any more time I dived into the pool with both results & our CRS was 458, three days later March 6th, there was a draw cut-off was 454 and we were invited. My Joy knew no bound, I could not sleep that night. I felt as if I had already received the PR. Did I forget to say that hubby was so proud of me and kept thanking me… lol

PCC
We were referred to a lady at Alagbon for Nigerian PCC and paid 5k each for hubby and myself, came out same day, really quick. Both of us also applied and got PCC from the UK. We applied through the link on CIC website and paid using a foreign bank account card. I used my cousin’s address in the UK, she received them after three weeks and scanned them to me.

PROOF OF FUNDS
For POF, Hubby transferred the amount we needed for a family of four to my account meanwhile I also had some money in my RenMoney Fixed deposit account. Hubby didn’t transfer the money to my salary account which was the account I needed to use for the application, so I moved the money from my Bank A to Bank B (Salary account). I printed my salary account statement and also my RenMoney fixed deposit certificate as POF. Now, I know that hubby could have just transferred the money straight to my salary account and written a letter to that effect. #ThingswelearnonNairaland. This gave me concerns when PPR wasn’t forth-coming, thank God it’s over now.

MEDICALS
I thought I was making progress until I read on the website that we needed to do medicals with our application, the issue was my kids didn’t have Intl passport and we needed to bring them along for medicals. It was a horrible wait because there were no passport booklets. We had to pay extra 15k for each child to expedite the passport, on top the 25k each that we were initially asked to pay for the passports, we bless God that the money worked because people pay even more and still don’t get it out in time. We booked with Qlife, the medical was a seamless process, just had to pack food for the kids. With all the hurdles crossed, we were able to submit our application on April 26, 10 days before the expiration of our invitation phewwww!!!!

NB: I never knew of the forum until after our Biometrics was completed, I did everything myself, the IRCC website was my Bible and God sure was directing me all the step of the way. I vowed to help others because going through it alone was not easy. At times, I needed explanation, no one to help, seeing the thread just make me wanna cry, because everything is on here… God continually bless the Admins. We almost missed going for medicals because I thought we were to do it after the application but God just saw my heart and my strivings and made me open the website on that glorious day and lead me to that particular place, I read it over five times and screamed Jesus!!!!

Post-AOR
Just when you begin to feel you have Oil on you head, this process will make you doubt if it’s GROUNDNUT OIL, PALM OIL or CRUDE OIL.
MEP and BIL came 42 days after AOR. And then the wait started, I raised a total of four CRS, all generic response the only thing I got off the first CSE note was that my application was processed at Ottawa, never called, never ordered GCMS (I asked myself how will this GCMS help me sef. I told myself I won’t order this thing they are ordering oh, my application is simple, I did not lie or misrepresent anything o jere). I will just wait. At some point (4mths 3wks post AOR) the urge to order GCMS came but I resisted it and when I was almost six months, I said to myself each passing day if I order now, PPR will drop before the Notes come back to me so there is no need. lol
After the second CSE on August 8, 2019 I said I was just going to wait and not bother anymore because I was sure it will come soon, then came Sept 7 while having shower God brought to my memory something that shook me completely. I had answered No to my Husband Stats Questions which says if he had been denied a visa before. How on earth did I forget that? Why Me? It cannot be me? I am to meticulous for this, All these ran through my brain and to think that I just remembered after four months and two weeks this must be my Village people at work but my God is Miles ahead of them for bringing it to my remembrance before final decision came. I ran out of the bathroom called hubby and raised a CSE immediately explaining everything. This was my third CSE, the responded saying they have verified it and passed it to the officer in charge.
After the incidence, I was just calm and praying everything works out well for us. Fast forward to 5months 2weeks, the tension hit right back, I was almost in tears, l found myself loosing hope, I began to doubt my application and fear of rejection came crawling as we got closer to the 6 Months timeline. I raised another CSE on the 21st of October, one week to my 6mths timeline just asking about the progress of the application , never got a response because on the 26th of October (exactly 6 mths) I woke up at 00:25am to see the much awaited Golden mail sitting pretty in my Inbox dated October 25. Am still in shock, am proud of myself and forever grateful to God who has never failed me despite my unfaithfulness.

To all awaiting, my candid advise, it is hard anticipating a thing as PPR but WAIT, the good news is it will surely come as far as your application is void of lies/misrepresentation. God bless and favour us all…. Amen

On the 18th of this month, my status changed to 'in progress' reviewing documents, the date keeps changing everyday day with the same status but different dates and I have not gotten possible completion date yet.
