Waoooo. What a mighty God we serve. This made me so emotional like someone was cutting onions beside me. When I saw ur moniker in the PNP thread, was shocked and was mindful of the way you juggled the two.

Ask for a remarking if u are sure that u should have scored higher in writing and reading. Ur other parameters are OK which will make applying for express entry easy for you

Hello everyone,

I hope i get a positive response from at least one person so please if you are kindly assist.

I am a 30 years old female and will be clocking 31 in 2 months time, i currently have a BSC and a Masters from a UK university. Work experience of over 7 years including 1 year NYSC. i have an IELTS result of Overall= 7.0 Listening 8.5 Reading 6.0 Writing 6.5 Speaking7.5. I am married with 2 kids and hubby has 14 years experience but without a masters degree.

My questions:

Can i apply and if yes what province should i go for

Should i apply for a reevaluation because i think i should get a higher mark in my reading and writing.

Sorry to bore you but please just one response will make my day .

Thank you

Seconded

ziggymanti:


I want to move that the moderators of this page ban this person. This is not the type of attitude we want here. If you cheated, please keep it to yourself. The fact you had to come here and state it is a problem!!!

Hello you, how far with ielts now?

Pegzzyg:
Waoh! This my Annual Leave has been titoriying me & I came online now, Part 6 already? Interesting.... The Ministry is moving.... Lemme quickly read up

I saw this but decided not to dignify his statement with a response as he hasn't contributed reasonably in all ramification

Topsmamen:
Including Page 1? Dude, i'm surprised folks have not come for your head. What an insult to smslive2.

This is quite hilarious to me I must confess. U just typed that "I think I love her" meaning u ain't even sure and u want to add her as spouse without wedding. Sorry please visit PART 1 of this thread.

survivor1986:
I passed my IELTS of 13 October 2018. 1st attempt. 6 weeks of assiduous preparation.

Listening - 8.5 .
Reading - 8
Writing - 7.5 (Disappointed. I thought I would get 8. My preparation for the exam was 70% writing. I would have challenged it but it won’t change my CLB score. I may yet challenge it in the next 4 weeks if Australia immigration suddenly appeals to me.)
Speaking - 8 (The examiner almost used her foreign accent to intimidate & destabilize me. But I survived.)

I have a girlfriend who is in final year in the University and I want to add her as my spouse. Yea, I think I love her, even though we are just 6 months into dating. If I apply as a single my CRS score will be 465. If I add her as spouse, it drops to 439. Therefore she needs to write the IELTS to make our score at least 440.

Now the advice I want from you guys is this: can she write the IELTS first before we do the wedding, or wedding must come first before her IELTS, or the order doesn’t matter? If these Canada people (IRCC) see that the date of the wedding is after her IELTS (in other words if she wrote her IELTS as a single), will it look suspicious that we later married just before we submitted our Express Entry profile?

All the best to those still on IELTS stage.

Lovely job to all. It's part 6 and this is going to be a wonderful ride for me and my family as testimonies shall abound ranging from IELTS, ITA, AOR and PPR. I want to also add that we should reduce the non-important and repeated questions to the bearest minimum so we can maximize the thread.

I had the same issue too with UI pgschool. They are the most unserious element. My verification took 2months and some days. I wrote worded mail to the Dean of PG school and it was done within few days.
Then they like tipping also which I wasn't ready for

bankyh1905:
That depends on the request of the evaluating agency but I think all of them require the school to send the transcript directly. Even if that was the case, I don't trust UI PG school to do the needful.

I salute them for getting the transcript ready in one week and sending it via courier immediately. Since then, for 3 months now, they've been a thorn in my flesh - WES sent a request (both email and standard mail) for secondary verification of result (the disadvantage of having studied in Nigeria) but UI PG School claims they didn't receive any request in my name, not even the email. How's that even possible? I called WES to confirm that they sent the request and they said YES. If you ask me, I believe WES not UI. I'm caught in between now. I've had to pay an extra 78 CAD for courier to fast track the process. I'm still waiting.

So, please, don't rely on UI's mailing system - it's unreliable.

I 100% agree to this. Slot of questions has been asked recently that can be gotten in page 1. Questions like which ECA coy does it better? How long does it take?
Is waec needed for WES and so on. Mcstan has put so much work to make sure that the page is up to date. I am not in the pool yet but I know alot to sustain through the process and that is because I took out time to read the salient things in former threads and page 1. I urge us all to visit the first page and not be in a hurry to comment and say "am new here, please I need someone to tell or show me how to do it"

CanadianNaija:


Let's not encourage laziness, the thread is full because people won't read but ask same questions over and over.

The fact that he's new should spur him to start reading from page 1.

I was a newbie that read from the very first thread and caught up on the third, and I have been following till now.

You are embarking on a journey, and going in blind, what's to encourage about that?

Maybe as countrymen we need to encourage each other to develop some form of reading culture.

How do you jump on a thread this long and start commenting without finding out what's its about? In finding out, his/her question would have been answered.

Give ielts another best shot. Practice very hard and ace it with a minimum of 8777 in LRWS and ur CRS point will definitely increase

Tlontin:

Thanks bro.... but my first attempt is LRSW 6.5,6.5,7,6

Please put her marital name and not maiden name.
This doesn't affect anything

fadeofresh:
Hi Nlers,

My wife's school documents has her surname (when she was still a miss )
but she now makes use of my surname since we got married.

I'm about to fill the wes application for her and i'm wondering which surname would be best to use.

Gurus in the house, kindly shed light on this.

What was ur ielts score?

Tlontin:


Please, is there a short diploma course I can do instead of masters but recognized by wes... to boost my point. Ielts isn’t kinda favorable.



Please ooooo




Bsc 29yrs I’m done with my eca...

This is so sketchy, there is no short course u can do instead of Wes because Wes is not a subject but a body/organization. You couldn't have finished ur eca and still be looking for a diploma course. Page 1 will really help

@Selgzsy, gistwivkome, Balogunsam and everyone who came through for me during the WES madness, I am sincerely grateful.

@Newmum0165, thank you so much for pointing out that major flaw in my employment reference later. Men would stumble to favour you.

@Team May 23rd ITA and June AOR, trust me, we will all smile at last. Keep hanging on.

@Nairaland homies, thanks so much guys. You have alway been there for me since 2009 (My very major source of local info)

@Spouse, I know you will read this, I just wanna say I am so sorry for diving you so hard, forcing you to sit for IELTS with your big bump, forcing you to go after inspector moshood with that big bump, forcing you to take a 3days old baby to queue up at immigrations for passport. Believe me, I really do appreciate every of ur efforts and it was just for our collective good. I love you to the moon !

Peace out !

Age should be provided also. That will help to decipher

Je m'appelle Ramj

Thank you so much. I have contacted like 7 people at the least already. Am quite far from Ibadan plus work, I would have gone there myself.

cochtrane:

I think you got a couple of great ideas already. What i know some others try is to establish contact with an insider at your Records office and ensure this person can help follow up. Of course you'd have to tip the person to ensure he/she is on the lookout for the WES mail. Works all the time.

I salute your intelligence @smslive2 as I have never thought about going that route. Only hoping it won't be discarded somewhere when it gets to UI again.

smslive2:
Call WES to resend via registered mail/express courier with tracking number. With that you will be able to track when it delivers. unfortunately it will cost you additional money but as it is, this is the only way you will know if WES has send it or if UI have received it

Hello people.....
Congratulations to all those who got PPR, ITA and to those that passed IELTS. I wish everyone the best in this journey to better livelihood. Please all the seniors in the house, I need your input on this matter because it's beginning to frustrate my plans. So I started this process in June by requesting for WES evaluation. The transcript got to them in July (Masters) and they sent it back to university of Ibadan in the 13th of August for verification and since then, nothing has happened. University of Ibadan is claiming that they did not see the mail from WES. I printed my own correspondence and took it there and they still insisted that they can't work with that. After 7weeks, WES sent another mail to them and I knew this because I received a notification but they still said they haven't received any mail from WES. I need advise as this is beginning to drag my process and I have limited time to pull this through. Am open to advise and opinion on how to tackle either WES or University of Ibadan.

I am still in the market for a slot for medicals. Please, help out if you can.

I might as well post my temp timeline

Desire to migrate: 2012, on my first and only trip to Canada.
Decision to migrate negotiated and reached with spouse during the Eid holiday in August. This is by far the longest step. I was on this stage for over a year, if not two.
Wes request for online MSc with Uk university initiated first week of sept. The online MSc was the best advantage I have had in this process. No waec wahala, no university transcript wahala . Ordered transcript for less than 7 pounds online and the school posted it for me at no added cost.
Registered for ielts for spouse and I same week. Exam date was 29th Sept.
Wes report ready Oct 11/12. MSc equivalent.
Ielts result Oct 12. Spouse LRSW= 9,9,8.5,7.5. Mine= 9,9,8.5,7
Entered pool on Oct 13. Woke up at 5 am to start work on my profile before the children start distracting me.
ITA : Oct 15, around 9 pm.

Now the hustle for medical date begins.

My Ielts writing was not the best but I am still willing to help read and give feedback to 1-3 people interested. Pls PM me if interested.

Pls help with medical date if you can

Thanks

Hello people,
Congratulations to all who got ITA. Mine is coming in a big way too... Soon... I want to ask this question for a friend please but I will like to narrate the story first.
She was refused visa to USA in 2013 for child birth but after which, she has been going frequently. Now she applied for PR, got ITA, filled all the necessary documents but at the part where she was asked whether she has been refused ViSA before? She picked NO as the response considering she has been to USA after she was refused VISA. Now her application has been stuck at a point. She has raised a GCMS note but no response yet. Now she is guessing that the refusal is the reason for the delay. How can she remediate the situation before she is being banned for misrepresentation? Elders in the house please

Amen oooo. We will come dancing

Pegzzyg:
It is well my sister, we'll testify together in Nov by His Grace

I didn't do well too but my hubby aced it at first attempt. Unfortunately, he isnt the PA. Will be faking time off work too as against November

Pegzzyg:
Thanks for this encouragement! Would take a Leave from work b4 the next one next month so I can study better. Thanks again

Congratulations, really happy for you. Please I sent you a PM

Please please if you are battling with IELTS. You CANNOT give up.
It may seem like an exaggeration but IELTS taught me a lot and I've made amazing friends on this platform. You know yourselves

My WES and IELTS within 48 hours!!!

We now stand at 458!!!

Jehovah is not sleeping at all..he gives us what we need when we least expect.

Zeiya, please I sent you a PM. I have something to ask you. Thanks

Zeiya:


Evaluate only your masters degree for this process. I used less than 20k to process my transcript ( including my student's copy) no verification fee. UI postgraduate is very organised, it will be faster if you have someone there to push things.

You can send your MSc. certificate directly to WES using hellofax.

Yes, it is a must to verify your waec now, it is straightforward too, just search for the posts here on Nairaland.

Yes, you can get everything done within 2months.

I have PMed you. Kindly confirm if you got this
