Not true, VO will never request for her husband's account statement. Just ask your husband to do a gift deed for the money, you don't have to notarize it since money came from your husband's account

hello guys i want to evaluate my masters degree with ICES. they require the transcript to be sent directly from the school but they also requested for some additional documents such as colored copies of photo identification document, front and back of each award and of the front and back of other academic records.

my question is how can i send this additional documents, is it by email or post. also my masters certificate is not ready will my statement of result be accepted?

ednut1:
visa officer is probably reading this. Hahahaha

gingerspice:
Good afternoon. Please I decided on ICES for my ECA evaluation and need your kind assistance with information on the application type used and most importantly how you made payment for the evaluation.

ICES only accepts credit card for the online application. I would like to know if it's possible to use someone else's own or must the card be in my name?

I used GTB Mastercard to make ICES payment. It works

For the paper route it is stated that payment must accompany the application package.

Please I need clarification before proceeding to avoid any mistakes as you cannot open more than one profile with them.

Thank you very much

Please I need to make a decision btw ICES, IQAS and WES? Pls the experienced ones shld advice which one is better, cheaper and faster.
Hope I got the acronym correct.

ECA is becoming a big issue with the addition of WAEC/NECO for Nigerian certificates by WES, so it's important to understand the pros and cons of WES, ICES & IQAS.

WES vs ICES vs IQAS

WES evaluates WAEC/NECO before degree certs issued by Nigerian institutions can be evaluated while ICES & IQAS dont require such.

WES verifies your transcript/WAEC/NECO by sending mail or email to your school that sent them the transcript and wait for your school to respond before evaluation is completed while ICES
& IQAS require ONLY your school to send your transcript and no verification is required.

WES requires your school to send your transcript by post/courier while ICES requires your transcript to be sent by post/courier or via official email of your school and IQAS demands for your transcript to be sent by post.

WES charges $200 for all documents submitted plus additional $7 for standard delivery or $85 intl & $25 for local; ICES charges $200 per document and additional $75 for intl delivery or $26 for local; while IQAS charges $200 for all documents submitted plus $15 & $75 for local and intl deliveries respectively.

WES minimum processing time is 20 business days when all documents are recieved and verification email replied; ICES is 10 weeks (some got their ECA report within 4-5 weeks) and IQAS is 12 weeks.

WES & IQAS send soft & hard copies of the evaluated document while ICES sends only hard copy with a charge of $75 for intl delivery & $26 for local.

NOTE

WES favours OND/HND certs & evaluates it as 2 or more certs. It also favours nurses with BSc cert.

WES doesnt favour LLB but favours LLM cert.

IQAS favours both LLB & LLM certs & nurses without BSc.

Cornelfranca:
I have read through the forum and gotten positive mentions with regards to my question below, but most of them are far dated and things/situations change every now and then. At such the reason for my asking afresh.


My aunt who happens to be my dad's elder sister wants to gift me with my POF and even some addition to help me with my application, ( specifically #3,800,000)I have small savings from my salary, it's not significant as I don't earn much as a registered nurse in a private company.
Please is this okay for the immigration process, and won't have any negative effect on my application.

Thank you in advance to all who will take out time from their busy schedule to answer me.

Cheers.

I'm 90% if not 100% I read on this thread that if your proof of funds has been inside your account for more than 6months that you don't need to provide a gift of deed and I had the same mindset of doing the same thing. Just imagine that!

BlestHanneSSG:
As in seriously o! If I was the VO in charge of this case, with all the details given out so far, I'd already know by now what to expect. I am also of the opinion that as a top thread that have most Nigerians seeking to migrate, VOs would comb here for trends from time to time.

Hello everyone
Please I want to apply for my transcript. Can I make the remita payment online and submit the printed receipt to the school to process for the transcript or must I go to the bank. The lockdown and pandemic issue is giving me concern esp on the way banks operate these days. I might have to spend the whole day for it

AlbertaPikin:
Good morning guys. I just want share a testimony of how wonderful and marvelous the Lord is. And also to encourage any one on this journey not to give up.

I started my MSc in unilag to get more CRS points.
swimsuit with CRS of 478.

No matter how daunting this journey. I just want to encourage anyone that needs to hear this. Don’t give ready for him.

Otoge:
Cornelfranca, what you just wrote/suggested, which has been reported ,is not the kind of thing we approve here. Please take that conversation to a family meeting or pm the person and talk about it off here. If the funds are not coming from your Dad as source, don't try to bypass and we won't advise on it too. Don't you people know you are hurting your applications and that of others?

listowell:

I believe everything is done by these people once one paid for transcript generation and dispatching. By Everything I meant including verification phase.

They should up their game, Corona has given them coverage, acceptance and recognition.

My COPR story
Hello everyone, I’m not an active member of this forum, I started following few months to our AOR.I know my story is not the regular one you get here but i hope to inspire you with it. Timeline is stated below-
IELTS- LRSW(8,8,7.5,6.5)
CRS- 467 then 475
ITA- Oct 4th 2019 then Nov 13th 2019
AOR- Dec 15th 2019
MEP/BIL- January 2nd 2020
Stream- CEC(inland)
COPR- 27th May 2020.
moo My Canadian journey started in December 2015, I was recently married and about 7 months pregnant with a Canadian study visa. I left Nigeria 27th December 2015, landed here 28th December 2015. My husband applied for his work permit in February 2016 and it was approved before the end of the month. He joined me in March 2016. We welcomed our daughter in April 2016 and with the help of a strong support system (my mum and my husband), I was able to scale through school. While in school, i heard about express entry but i never gave it much thought, I assumed it would be stressful and that i’ll never be qualified. We had always planned on moving to another province with a flexible nominee program(Alberta and Manitoba were our top choices then) after my studies. Meanwhile, I met another Naija Pharmacist (may God bless her mightily) like me on Instagram and we got talking(she also schooled here and she got her PR before me), she explained the process to me and told me my chances were really high- I was below 30 with work experience and could claim points for Masters including the canadian education factor.

I decided to heed her advice and talked to my husband. I registered for IELTS and scored LRSW: 8,8,7.5,6.5-this was not a good enough score for FSW but i already graduated and got a skilled job. I calculated my CRS and realized that I would score 467(without hubby’s ECA and English proficiency test)if i waited to finish one year canadian experience. I was not confident enough that my writing score would improve and 467 seemed like a high score to me..smh. We welcomed our son in October 2018(this slowed things a little bit as i had to take a little break from work). I started my ECA process in April 2019 with PEBC, it was ready in August. We were invited on October 4th 2019(CRS cut-off of 464) but we had to decline the invitation because we didn’t want to risk being banned due to misrepresentation (there were too many errors,long story). The next draw was a program-specific draw for the trade folks so no ITA for us. The third draw in October almost put me in panic mode with a CRS cut-off of 475! I was like: ”what kind of wahala is this?” That same weekend, my husband wrote CELPIP(he registered immediately after the draw and had few days to prepare), the following week his result was out (I can’t remember his scores) and our CRS rose to 475, I was still scared but tried to be hopeful. Thankfully, we were invited in the next draw(CRS cut-off of 472).

We booked our medicals in an IRCC-approved clinic in Ajax where we reside and it was a stress-free experience, In less than one hour we were done. Nigerian PCC was done through a contact my husband had(we just scanned our passport and the form with our fingerprints and other information and he scanned the certificate to us the next day-it was straightforward). I contacted the Director of Pharmaceutical Services in the hospital where I did my internship, and the woman was really helpful. I gave her a template for the reference letter and she followed it. I didn’t have my payslips(for my Nigerian work experience) so I didn’t upload them. For my Canadian work experience though, I attached all my payslips and reference letter. There was no need for proof of funds because of the stream we applied through, we didn’t need RCMP PCC too as IRCC has some sort of access to the database. I also didn’t upload a letter of explanation( I honestly didn’t see the need,our application was straightforward I guess).I included our kids as unaccompanying dependents and stated my reason as- they are Canadian citizens and do not need PR. The system removed them after our BIL was sent. This whole process really made me respect people with long timelines. Hmmm.. the wait is not easy oo, less than 2 months post AOR , I was already calling IRCC, the agent said it was too early(me sef know). I decided to channel all my energy into reading for my Pharmacy licensing exams, it didn’t really help but i tried. I applied for GCMS notes in late January and got it on 26th of February-It stated that Eligibility was recommended pass, criminality in progress and security not started. I was kind of relieved about the eligibility and i was sure of PR at this point because i did not kuku commit crime, so why could they possibly deny me? and besides eligibility is like the major hurdle in a PR application (in my opinion). GCMS notes was dated “1/31/20” so i thought there would be progress after a month and I raised CSE one month after, update was the same. Raised another CSE (I can’t really remember the date) but I got a generic response. On the 23rd of April, I checked my account (at this point, I was not really regular at checking my account because frankly, i didn’t see the point and it was becoming redundant) but surprisingly, i noticed that the “review of additional documents “ segment of my account had changed to “not applicable “(additional document was my biometrics payment receipt i uploaded since late last year dec before my BIL was sent and Medicals passed).I thought to myself-there’s no way someone will work on my application and not do something. I decided to raise CSE immediately to know the status of my application. I was kind of nervous about calling but i eventually did(on the following tuesday) and the agent said nothing had changed on my application. I was taken aback but i don’t know why, I was pretty sure my application had reached the final stage. The following day I got a reply from the CSE i raised and everything was passed, I was so happy, I messaged my husband at work and we were both grateful. Although i hadn’t gotten the golden mail but at that point, We were about 90% there.

May 27th 2020(my mum’s birthday and children’s day), my husband received COPR for the two of us and i thought it was odd(I was the primary applicant and i have never heard of IRCC sending mail to the secondary applicant) everything seemed legit as the letter had all our personal information but I just wanted to be sure. I raised webform immediately and called IRCC the following morning(I’m sure i was the first person because wait time was one minute...lol) and the agent said: “an approval email was indeed sent from our office yesterday”. Words can’t experience the joy i felt at that period, I did my little victory dance, said some words of thanks to God, called my husband and called family and friends to share the good news. It was so surreal, it is still surreal, the pr journey is finally over, countdown
to citizenship in 2022. Thank you Lord. I’m sorry my story is so long..lol.
