Hello Fam, pls how does one call IRCC? Cos as at the last time, they had deactivated incoming calls that were not made from within Canada. Kindly assist. Thanks

Hello Fam, pls how can someone call IRCC from Nigeria?

Adewumi2888:
You have to pay your IHS fees first before you can proceed to pay your visa application fee. Yes it is more than Visa Application fee and it is a prerequisite for VISA fee

Ok, got it. Thanks!

Hello Fam,

TB test done.

Trying to finish up the application and it is requesting for IHS fee asides the Visa application fee. The IHS fee is even more than the Visa Application fee. Is this normal? or is there something I didnt put in right in the application?

If you have experienced this, pls help advise.

Thanks

The TB test last for just six months. So if you are sure you will apply before then, I will advice you to quickly apply for the TB test. Meanwhile getting dates is difficult in Lagos, u will not even get a closer date. My advice, get the Lagos number that is responding, as soon as it is 8am, start calling then that you need an urgent appointment, the customer service guy will tell you to send email and attached all supporting documents and your passport, keep disturbing them until they send an appointment for you.

Get the TBS bf the online application to avoid the 28days rules.

You can submit the documents online by your self or TLS will upload for you, but u will pay them. I will advice you take your time and submit it by your self on line, u choose the one you want to upload and you are more comfortable at home doing it than the TLs. It is very easy uploading by your self.

Thanks a lot for your response. Will start calling the IOM guys for the TB test tomorrow

I will suggest you book a day for the TB test on IOM website because it says no available dates till September, so please make sure you have the TB certificat at hand before you proceed. All the best .

Thank you!

Reelee:
Thank you.

I will visit the NARIC website now to start processing.

Hello Fam, still on this issue.

We have received the NARIC certificate and we want to continue with the processing.

Just checked the site now and it says a TB test is required.

My questions are: Do we do the TB test and obtain the result before concluding the online application, or we can continue the online application and make payment before we run the TB test? Are the documents meant to be uploaded online or submitted at the Visa office?

Thanks

ninirizzle:
Please note that you also have to get his transcript and English Proficiency letter from his school. You will be required to upload them alongside his certificate.

Thank you very much. I had been out of town without access to the internet.

I will apply for the transcript today. But who do I address the transcript to?

Siberry:
If he has a BSC, then apply for NARIC certificate.

Thank you.

Hello Fam,

I need some help pls.

I want to an elderly family friend to apply for a spousal visa. I have just gone through the site, and one of the requirements is writing and passing IELTS.

At this point we got stuck, cos that might be difficult to achieve. He has an OND and a BSC, and is above 60. The spouse is UK citizen.

What other document can be submitted as a substitute for IELTS test/result?

If you have an answer to this, pls let me know.

Thanks

Hi Fam,

Has anyone evaluated French Village Badagry diploma (one year)? If you have, what was the outcome and which evaluation body gives a positive evaluation?

Thanks

Cutiepie123:
Use IQAS

Use IQ

Hello, thanks for the prompt response.

Do we use IQAS for both certificates or for just the diploma/Bsc? Pls can you provide a little more info on this? Thanks

Hello Fam,

I may need some help here. A friend has a diploma from French Village, Badagry and then proceeded to Unilag for the Bsc program (2nd year direct entry). While trying to register the certificates for WES evaluation, the WES site stated that they do not evaluate certificates/diplomas from French village.

This is where the challenge lies; I understand that WES will always ask for details of 1st year studies for those that got in with direct entry. If they dont accept the diploma, how can the BSC be successfully evaluated? If they eventually agree to evaluate the diploma, does it count as one certificate or two or more certificate?

Has anyone done this or have any experience here? If you do, pls share with me so we can move forward with the application.

Thanks

Toludebs:
Thank you for this advice, I will put in for BCS, if it hasn’t closed.
I have Unilag diploma I completed before B.Sc, can that be evaluated or give me higher chances alongside BCS

I know of two friends who did diplomas (OOU) and gained admission to 200 level with it. When they sent their BSC to WES, WES requested for the year 1 results. They had to send in their diplomas and WES evaluated both the diploma and BSC as two or more certificates. So you can quickly evaluate the diploma and BSC before thinking of other certificates.

Hello Fam,

So let me post the questions I was asked:

Why are you travelling? To attend a friends wedding
Where do you work?
What do you do there?
Family composition?
Places I had travelled to?

While trying to respond to the last question, the VO just cut in and approved the visa.

The denial rate was high; between 80 - 85% of visa applications were denied while I was there; from pastors, students, corporate workers, grand mothers going to take care of grand children, to tourists and visitors.

It was really sad seeing people being denied after the 60k expended.

I strongly believe that the system already 'pre-approves' or 'pre-denies' visa applications cos the VO wasnt interested in my responses and kept on looking at his system. I felt he just wanted to be sure some of the details in the application corresponds with the responses I provided.

makforex:
yes, thanks. pls I want to also ask if one can pay for the visa fee through mobile application?and can the online generated receipt number be used to schedule visa appointment? Thanks

Thats what I did. Paid through the app and printed via the online banking platform. It didnt pose any issues, so you can go ahead with it.

flourishing247:
Don't forget your visa fees receipt. Ds160 confirmation page.
Appointment page too.

Okay. Thanks

Hello Fam,

Please what documents do I need to take to the visa interview? I know of the following:

Account Statement
Visa Confirmation Doc
Passport (expired and valid)

If there is any other document, please point it out for me.

Thanks.

Hello Fam, kindly assist with a response to the above question. Thanks

Metrics4tea:
please someone should help me out

Yes, the school can send both the transcript and certificate to WES. If they are unable to send the certificate, you can do it yourself by using any online fax service.

Hello Fam, I have two questions:

1. Who do I address the cover letter to for the visa application?
2. My brother-in-law and I intend to apply for the visa as a group, how do I do the group application as I am the sponsor?

Thanks.

Ocon:
Please, in situation where someone's certificate is not ready, does WES accept statement of result or notification of result in place of the Certificate.

Yes you can, used notification of result and it was accepted.

Ifeoma77:
1. Since we've established that your wife has work experience, this option is no longer necessary. Make her the PA.
2. That's great, she should ensure that both workplaces provide reference letters. Also, if she can get another teaching job to make it up to 3 years, it would be awesome. It doesn't matter that the work experience is not related to her degree.
I also want to clarify, is the diploma part of the BSc? As in, did she use the diploma to gain direct entry admission? Because if that's the case, the ECA might come out as Bachelor's and not 2 or more certificates.
4. Absolutely

Two of my friends got the direct entry (to 2nd year) using their diploma from OOU.

They both evaluated their Certs with WES last year (BTW May and July) and it came out as two certificates.

So for this case, the wife will be better off as the PA.

adetola007:
You can't do that, the foundation programme is part and parcel of your Bsc. Wes will not even evaluate your Bsc without the transcript of the foundation programme. You can only claim two or more certificates if the foundation program is a standalone course like OND or NCE. Cheers

I don't think this is entirely correct.
A friend did a one year diploma, then used the diploma to gain admission to second year in OOU.
When she did her evaluation (only BSc), WES requested for the first year results.
She sent them the diploma results and they evaluated both as two or more certificates.

Erigo23:
Guys this is my first time writing I’m so broken inside I don’t even know what to do again. Writing ielts for the 3rd time and still not making it is devastating. especially for the fact that I’m unemployed and I have to save the money everytime on my own. It’s really devastating.
1st try with BC. LRWS- 8.5, 6.5,7,8.5
2nd try with IDP LRWS- 7.5,8.0,6.5,8.5
3rd try with IDP LRWS: 8.5,6.5,6.5,8.5
This is demoralizing I have done my ECA since August just waiting on this IELTS and now I was really hoping this would be the last time but I can’t believe I have to continue this again next year. I prayed and prayed and I studied and studied still nothing. This is almost 300k wasted. Having to watch my friends that I even told about the program move on and get PPR and I’m still stuck here. � lemme just stop typing I’ve been crying since morning.

Whenever you intend to re-write, please inform me so I can add a little to the cost of the exam. You can send me a private mail. Thanks

Iyamarun:
Please I have an issue I'm a bit confused about. Concerning the 'two or more certificates', I did a one year diploma program in a university before getting admission to 200level into the same university. I have the result with me. I want to know if this counts as two or more certificate.

Hi, it counts as a degree plus a diploma certificate. Two friends of mine used theirs for WES and got additional points from the diploma results.

Favour2587:
Good house Pls I will be coming from Warri, using Agofure transport service which of their Parks is nearest to the venue for the exams? Waterline, Rumuokoro or Eleme park. Is it possible for me to get to the exam venue B4 10:30am if I leave Warri in the morning by 7:00am. Thanks for your response.

You may not get to the exam centre before 10.30am if you leave Warri by 7am. You should leave Warri with the first bus at Agofure Park (say 6.30am). The park nearest to the centre is Eleme Park. You can get a cab to the exam centre as taking those inter-city buses will waste time.
