Pls I would like to make enquires for my sister who is already on this journey. She has her Ielts well passed and WES verified results. She has an MSc and MBA in Lagos business school.
She’s on the verge of creating a an express entry profile. I would like to find out if the recent Covid19 pandemic affected this process.

Also, I would appreciate your advise and guidance in other to make her entrance into the pool to be one that can make her nominated by a province expediently. To know when and how to apply to a province if need arises etc.

I count on your contributions. Thank you

Hello house,
Please who else has been in this kind of situation. I was sent the below now after they already said my evaluation report will Be completed by April 1st, 2020.

Academic Transcript | Incomplete

Reason: The document received only contains a partial record of your study program. Subjects taken and grades earned for part of the study were not included. We are missing information on study completed during the 4th year of your program

Instructions: Please ask your institution to send WES a complete document that lists all subjects taken and grades earned for each year of the program according to the requirements for your country of education. This document should be sent in a sealed envelope that is stamped or signed on the back flap by the appropriate official.

Yes I was in your situation before.

For me, my 100level record was not sent to WES.

My school had to resend the transcript again.

Thankfully, I had someone who was there physically to process the transcripts for me.

That would help. Either show up in person or get someone who can physically stand in for you.

It makes the process faster.

select all provinces and hope for the best. They select as they like from time to time based on occupation in demand in their provinces. If your sister is less than 32 she does not need province nomination na

Were you able to travel? If yes, did you get a place to self isolate for two weeks?

I was about telling him this. If he entered the program through direct entry, probably the 100lvl record is what is outstanding. He might need to get records of his diploma or IJMB sent as well. That's also a possibility.

You truly deserve this success. Congratulations!! Massive hard work and persistence do pay off.

PPR story- Battle with IELTS(ignore typos )

Timeline
IELTS 7th attempt: LRWS – 8.5,7,7,7
ECA: WES BSC and ICAN AAT
Score: 465
ITA: 12th June 2018
AOR: 25th June 2019
MEP/BIL: 25 July 2019
Biometrics: 26th July 2019
GU: 21st February 2020
PPR: 22nd February 2020
COPR: 10th march 2020
VO: Ottawa
Single Applicant.

Decision to Travel
First heard about express entry in August 2016 from a colleague who was in the process. At that time, it looked too expensive to run and focused on getting a better job. No thanks to incompetent Buhari and his body odor I made up my mind to leave. Also, many of my colleague who left were getting jobs with the Canada office and other competitors of my Nigerian office.

ECA
A friend advised I use IQAS for assessment as it was faster than WES. So I registered in august 2017 paid and sent my transcript. Only to discover I registered for a wrong assessment, I called them on phone and was asked to register for right one and include a letter saying they should cancel the first application and apply the funds to the second one. A month later they mailed me saying I should reapply and pay as they were going to refund me. As at this time scores were rising, and I was getting scared. I then came across a post on here ( Nairaland) about ICAN AAT being evaluated favourable by WES . As soon as IQAS refunded me I abandoned them and switched to WES. As I was about to apply for another transcript NASU went on a 4 months strike, so I face ICAN AAT. ICAN refused to verify and told WES I was owing them hence they can’t confirm. But the funny thing was that before you can apply for ICAN Transcript you must have paid all dues. I sha sent them evidence and left them to God. NASU would later call off the strike March or April 2018 and my transcript was sent. ECA was completed late April 2018.
Big battle with IELTS (LRSW)
If anyone had told me I would struggle with IELTS I would not have believed Shebi its English. I did not prepare much as such. I paid for IELTS late 2017 but missed as I was sent to PH for a project.

First IELTS February 2018 with BC—8.5, 8,8,6.5 (remark took 3 months no change).
Second IELTS June 2018 – 6,8.5,8.6.5. I booked for another one with IDP lagos but due to work commitments I could not come back as to Lagos as planned. I requested for change of Venue to PH. MOD said no, so I paid for another one in PH center 2 days to the test date. They used a bad speaker (not headset o) for listening we all protested and filled the complaints form. The listening came out bad as expected, I sent them emails to threaten them with lawsuit. The Lagos office seemed to care less but the Australia office sounded worried and scared. So, they gave me a free test in Lagos.

Third IELTS August 2018 with BC – 7.5,8,7.5.6.5
While dragging with MOD IDP I had gone to pay for another BC. The listening and writing spoilt it again

Fourth IELTS August 2018 with MOD IDP (free)- 8,8,7.5, 6.5. applied for remark no change. At this point I gave up and forgot totally about Canada and stop visiting the naira land thread. To compound my woes I missed an Ontario PNP draw(400 and above for the chosen NOC) with my 415 crs scores as I did not open a profile because I thought it was too low. How can 0.5 difference be worth 50 points nitori olorun. 2018 was almost over with nothing to show na soso IELTS chai.

Fifth IELTS January 2019 with MOD IDP- 8.5,7,8,6.5
I used the services of a tutor. Still could not pass the writing. remark came back unchanged. I drove all the way from VI to Ogudu to pick it up only to see same score. I just went to a nearby eatery to chill and think about my life. Na me IELTS dey disgrace like this.

SIXTH IELTS march 2019 with BC – 7,7.5,7.5,6.5
I tried CBT next, maybe it was my chicken that was making me score 6.5. I has issues with the CBT listening (mouse keyboard typing and concentration was very hard).

FINAL IELTS April 2019 with MOD IDP 8.5, 7,7,7
At the point i was determined to get a real IELTS examiner to solve my debacle. I searched on linkedin and nairaland till I found one. He had worked for BC as an examiner for 4 years before he left. He reviewed my essays and told me the problem areas. (punctuations, spelling, grammar, subject verb agreement). We worked together for 3 weeks and he told me I was almost ready. i went behind his back to book a test with 3 days to go. I made sure I planned my time. I used 10 mins to review my work. Result came out around 5 am that day and I was elated. 679k ( 75+75+15+68+68+75+46+68+46+75+68) waka on top IELTS o . dived into the pool with 465.

ITA
With my battle with IELTS over ITA was too sure for me. It was a public holiday and I headed for my office so as to scan and gather documents, but CRS was 470 that day. I was like village people must be behind this. Ontario then sent me an NOI few days later which I ignored as I had no $1,500 CAD to give them. Finally got ITA on June 12.

POST ITA-I had gathered all most of the documents after I passed IELTS except for POF

Medicals – IOM

REFERENCE LETTER-submitted only reference letter from my current workplace.

POF- part gift deed, part savings and Pension. Submitted Mutual funds reference letter, PFA reference letter, gift deed (not notarized) and bank statement to show inflow of gift deed.

PCC- renewed a PCC I had done in faith sometime in 2018 with Insp Moshood.

DIGITAL PASSPORT- Initially used a phone app but I looked like a Cameroonian instead of a Canadian. Later went to studio 24.

AOR/MEP/BIL
June 25/July 25/July 26

POST AOR
I was confident the PPR would come fast so I could leave Nigeria in 2019 but by December no PPR. I had ordered for GCMS notes in October (Got a 3 months delay notice). I ordered for a CBSA note in December 2019. I called CIC severally the agents told me my file was on review required but they refused to tell me what area. I guessed it was the pensions part (10% of my total POF). Some people advised I send in an updated POF whole some warned me not to. I later sent the updated POF(converted my naira to USD and added more money) and replaced the pensions with cash. GCMS notes came in late January, as at request date was still in central intake office and I had a review required on STAT questions (Visa refusal in 2005 to UK) I was granted the Visa after addressing the issue noted and was granted. so, I began to wonder why it was an issue. CBSA note came in early February and revealed review required on proof of funds. Pensions was not considered by the officer, so I was short of POF by 900 CAD. I sent them a mail informing them I had addressed the POF issue. I was already paranoid at this point and was fearing rejection.

PPR
I got a ghost update and called IRCC . the agent told me application approved. The golden mail came in the next day. COPR approved 10th of March. The journey was a long hard one for me and am glad it ended well. See you all in Canny.

Happy new month fam, I believe we all are staying safe this trying time. We believe it would pass soon... anyways we wait on FSW draw today, hopefully we see a drop in CRS. It will end in praise.

Edited after confirmation. The content reflects current happenings and with current lockdown.

NaijaGoingMaple:
First, check the root url of sender's email. That's not VSF Global website. Besides, its registered Gmail domain and non-functional website. The content may reflect current happenings but that's not coming from VSF Global.

More due diligence as you may have been scammed.

I don’t even have access to the email

The default @vfshelpline.com is the correct email from VFS, so it's in order.

AGENT Ircc is still processing applications while vfs has paused most of their services. This mails smells of fish as VFS does not process applications so its none of their business to inform you. Just checked your post you were the one who applied for 4 years work permit. Like you were told then no such visa exists for canada.
