Wow. I'm so sorry about all these.
Fingers crossed. If you stay in Lagos, try and visit the school

I'm still on IQAS brouhaha. I've been trying for days now and I can't get past application stage. Is it worth taking risk of using Wes evaluation of LLB to claim professional degree as state on cic website. It is really frustrating to say the least. My wife's birthday is in July and I can't be PA again as my birthday is next month. I'm seriously frustrated.

abnot:

It was a good attempt but from what I’ve seen scores for listening and reading don’t change. Nevertheless reading is the most challenging task and you may be surprised finding out that you lost points on some questions you were so sure of particularly the true, false and not given task

phabulous88:


What time did you try to create an application?

You can only create an application from 8:15am Alberta time (4:15pm Nigerian time). IQAS receives a limited number of applications each day and once they reach their quota, the system stops receiving additional applications till 8:15 am the next day.

I tried creating an application to evaluate my wife’s LLB 3 days ago and at 4:18pm, it was telling me they’ve reached their daily quota. The next day at 4:13pm, I clicked on ‘create a new application’ and the website became so slow (other sites were browsing just fine), seems like thousands of people were trying to create applications at the same time.

I was successful in creating a draft application that day, came back the next day to complete it.

elohim24:

Thank you, I tried creating from 4:00pm through 4:30pm. The draft you created, was it for immigration purpose? I will probably try again today

phabulous88:


Yes for immigration purpose. What do you see when you click on Create new application?

AyeeshaB:
Thanks. It was sent to us last week and uploaded so not much business with the school anymore. Just for WES to evaluate. But i guess for verification we would go to the school.

Hello Elders, I raised CSE to add newborn to my application and was informed the docs have been forwarded to AVO. I also sent to AVO directly but nothing has changed and it's been a month. Does anyone have a similar experience? How long does it take to reflect in our profile? I'm August AOR. Or is it cos my application is still less than 6 months? I've seen people whose application is up to a year being attended to within days.

ogbeniDM:
thank you, do you have an idea of the rate barter uses

Rhuth:

Firstly, try and read and digest page one of this thread.
Secondly, BSc and OND is not 2 or more certificates.
It's BSc + masters
BSc + Diploma (like pgd or those professional certification courses like BCS etc)
OND + HND
If you have BSc and OND, it doesn't mean anything. You only evaluate your BSc, that's one certificate. OND doesn't count with it.
I stand to be corrected though.

Good evening leaders. My case is kinda peculiar and critical. I need informed and experienced information, please.

I have a one year continuous work experience - February 2019-February 2020 after university education (NOC 4031 Secondary school teacher). That's basic and solid.

However, I want to claim three years work experience through the different jobs I did while studying, during OAU strikes and breaks.

For instance, I worked as a Legal Administrative Assistant (NOC 1242) or Paralegal all through my stay in school whenever there was any break. So here and there, I have 7 months, 6 months, 6 months (all same firm) 3 months (another law firm, same NOC duties). Am I good to go claiming these?

Expert opinions pls, and I am set to enter the pool.

Debbieeeeeee:

I’m interested in the answer to this because I have a similar situation and I totally excluded these experiences, I stuck to just post graduate experiences.

Goodmrning all.. Please am having issues with reference letter. I did my IT in X company in 2015, i was later employed in 2018 at the same company. For both periods, I worked up to a year. Now, my employer is not cleared as to how he would present this in the reference letter. Should two letter be presented since they were at different periods or how should it be done. Please I appreciate your kind response. I wouldn't mind if a format is also included to further guide me

IRCC sees IT as internship and they don't generally reckon with internships, especially in Nigeria.

That being said, if it was a paid internship and the pay was considerably good, then the responsibilities that comes with that would definitely not be of internship levels so you may be in the clear here.

For the reference letter, just state it as follows;

This is to certify that John Doe is an employee of Thomas Duck Organisation. He was admitted as an intern (insert position) in January 2016 through February 2017. He later returned as our (insert position) in March 2018, a position he holds till date.

Lol the pessimistic me wants to hear you say I should use it. Please say it in plain terms. Should I claim three years or not?

I was in a similar position. One reference letter was used and it was explained in details - Work periods and duration, Job duties were all put together.

You want to put cocaine in my pocket!

My understanding is that at a minimum you must have 1 year CONTINUOUS work experience to qualify for FSW.

If an applicant already has 1 year continuous locked down, the other months or years of work experience do not have to be continuous, if all other conditions are assumed to have been met i.e. pay, hours etc. This is my understanding....and I may be mistaken.

I have a question house, I called IRCC yesterday, the agent told me he can see that eligibility has been passed, that I am qualified to apply under FSW. He further stated that background check is in progress crminality and security, my question is I am yet to see MEP on my profile. Is this the new method used by IRCC? My AOR is 16th Oct
