A journey of a thousand miles, they say begins with a single step. I've been reading/following this thread for about a year now but I finally decided to take the first step in December 2019.
I wrote the IELTS LRW test on 01/02/2020 with the Speaking test two days earlier. Previewed the results today and found LRWS 8.5 7 7.5 7.5.
I thought my reading should've been better, really don't know what went wrong. Still thinking about a remark. I did with MOD IDP.

Tips? I don't have any tips apart from the ones already shared here but be wary of too many tips as too many cooks, they say spoil the broth

I consulted @blissnenye to help with my writing and towards the end of the tutorials she said she expects nothing less than a 7.5 from me in writing. That really boosted my confidence. Thank you for your help.
Next stop is ECA. WES says today is the estimated completion date so I hope they come through.

Congrats. The degree you are evaluating with Wes, is it a Nigerian degree?

Ologunsunny:
Yes exercise some patience, they will update it

Pls was it Wes you used and for a Nigerian degree?
How long did it take to progress from we are reviewing a new document after your sch responded to Wes reverification?

COPR2020:
Better call them out on twitter

Hi
I called them out on Twitter and this was their response: Hello, your documents are under review at this time. Our evaluators will provide an update when the review is complete. You can check your status any time in My Account: https://applications.wes.org/createaccount/login/login

Please know that we are working diligently to complete your evaluation. Thank you for your patience.

Is this normal? My school responded to their verification via email on 24/1/2020 and my status was immediately updated to we are processing a new document for your application same day

Does this jell?

toastadeola:
That's the official time frame it takes WES to review ones document.

Pls mine reads we are processing a new document for your application, two weeks now after university sent second verification. Is this normal? Cos I think I should call them out on Twitter tomorrow

Arrewa:
If say we get sense for this country!

I prefer governor of Ebonyi state in place of Makinde

toastadeola:
14 working days.

What should happen in 14 working days pls?

How long should Wes use in updating profile? Second verification of degree was done on 24th of January and Wes immediately confirmed that a new document was received. Yesterday was exactly two weeks after this, status is yet to change. I've sent mail, no response. What else can I do?

Teni14:
Hello everyone,
Please I want to know if Neco verification and scratch is required for Wes evaluation. If yes can the verification be done in Lagos or Minna.

Have you checked Wes website?

Good morning fellow Canadians, I hope I can get info here.

My crs is currently 467, while I'm expecting my spouse ECA from Wes by next month to move us up to 475, I'm overly optimistic that I will be in Canny by yearend.

I want to find out career prospects and what I can start doing from here to land me a suitable job.
I have seven years experience in banking as a relationship manager, I also have first to third degrees in economics. So I have flair in banking and teaching/academics, how can break into any of these sectors, what certifications do I need? What other jobs are open to me?
In general, what should I start doing here in Nigeria?

Wife, gone
Husband, gone
House, gone
Where will six children live now?

Good that every region is beginning to borrow some sense. Two things will happen in the future, is either we rip the country apart with our individual interest or Restructuring will happen.

Fact! We are a federation but nothing about us if federal. The govt of Buhari while turning a blind eye to the excesses of his kinsmen and also his own hegemonic tendency of raising one tribe against others, have inadvertently make the remaining tribal sect think about self preservation only.
With time, state/regional police will be a thing everywhere, ultimately, resource control will become localized

I think the south west governors took a cue from the inability of the Rivers State government to single handedly go on with their own neighborhood watch despite it being pass into law by the state legislature. The south west governors came together to set up theirs, SENSE
The broom together gets the job done, rather than being individualistic.

MaziObiagu1:
First of all introduction.

I’ve been a silent follower and this forum has been of very immense benefit to me. I’m pre ITA.

After a second IELTS, I did an EOR because my writing was still low. God gave us the first W of 2020 when my EOR was successful and my writing was increased from 6.5 to 8! Bye bye to IELTS! CRS 473. Waiting patiently for the next draw in 2 hours. Praying for ITA.

J
Huge increase! 6.5 to 8!!
Wish you ITA today

claseek:
Ok thank you for the clarification..

I previously have 2 years and 3 months of work experience.. then there was a pause of one year without working.. then afterwards another 1 year of work experience as at last week Thursday..I clocked one year in my current place. Together this is 3 years...but its not continuous, would this count as 3 years in order to boost my CRS score?

From my understanding, I feel you can only claim two years. I Maybe wrong, seniors will clarify

claseek:
When some people ask questions, some of are always quick to send them to page 1.. whereas some info on page 1 are no longer valid or have been modified.

For instance, on page one, the work experience has to be a minimum of continuous one year to score points.. now its three years continuous work experience..based on the CRS calculator

In this journey, you need lots and lots of reading. Read wide! One year continuous work, scores are very high now and having just one year will not cut it. You get the maximum number of years when you have three years work experience. Pls read wide.

Good day fellow Canadians, pls anyone with contact in Madonna university, Elele who can assist with WES transcript/certificate verification?

tete7000:
Their fear is not about Iran but about the Russians, Will they keep mute, allow Americans destroy Iran and build a military empire next to them? That's the real question. If Russia joins, things escalate quickly and you don't know how it is going to end. You might say Russian won't want to, but all you need to do is look at what they already did in Syria, they directly intervened, sending Russian soldiers and fighters into the war.
In the 50s, it was the same way the Chinese directly intervened to stop America building a military empire close to their boarder during the Korean war. The US commander in the Korea then got so upset, he sought his presidents permission to use the nuke, but the fear of what could come afterward prevailed and the president use diplomacy. Real problem now is that Trump is a dsftt war monger, he can do something dolly and set the world ablaze. The entire world is currently worried and pray the worst doesn't happen.
World politics is about alliances. WW1 started with the killing of one man. History has a nasty way of repeating itself.

While what you said is true, keep in mind how Trump has been palling Putin to the great astonishment of the US Congress and Democrats in particular. Even to the extent of giving the Russians intelligence on an impending terrorist strikes and Putin had to call Trump to thank him. Trust me, if a war comes out, Trump has played his hand and Russians will not say Jack. Trp pulled out of Syria for the Russians, the Russians will stay out of Iran for the Americans.
When you realize that the middle East is bounty to the world powers you will understand better.

Proof of funds has just been increased

Pls where on my cic profile can I update my POF?

DenreleDave:
Sorry sir, which ones are profs and which ones are professors?

Profs or professors, which one is the high ranking one that u were trying to point out sir

What I mean is, among professors, they know themselves those who are quota profs and profs from sheer hard work and quality contribution to academia. Same way there are Professors and there are Professors emeritus. Also, a lecturer who has been a Prof for the last 20 years cannot be compared with a Prof of just five years

Jarus:
PhD is common in the oil and gas industry. Almost every oil company I know has at least one PhD holder in its workforce. We used to have 2 in my company despite being a relatively small player in the industry.

Most of them got it on-the-job though (ie after employment). But I have a childhood friend (same pry, sec and uni) that got his PhD before entering the sector as entry level 7 years ago. He didn't have any break in his education and got his PhD at 29. He got job in Shell US few days after his PhD. https://www.linkedin.com/in/oluwafemitaiwo

PhD also makes you competitive in the international oil and gas job market. There was a time I was chasing OPEC jobs (Petroleum Industry Analyst and later Economic Analyst) and I went to LinkedIn to check the profiles of people holding similar jobs in OPEC, almost everyone has PhD, some with 3-4 masters - young folks in their 30s o. Fear catch me, I knew I had no chance! Needless to say, I was not shortlisted despite having 10 years experience and publishing several articles on the industry.


If you love academics, you can choose my friend's path - continue your studies till PhD (preferably abroad) and apply to oil companies there or in Nigeria from abroad. Alternatively, you can get the job with whatever degree you have now and continue to PhD while working (like many people do).

All the best.

Good day boss,will like to have a chat with you on this. I've pm you

slydog

your input needed please

I got my msc and phd from Uniport actually. MY MSC was exactly 20 months and I got my success letter while my PhD was 3.5 years and I got my success letter. For my msc I was lucky, through out the period didn't experience industrial action. For the PhD it depends on your supervisors and most importantly if your supervisor is a high ranking Prof. You know, there are profs and there are Professors

My corolla have survived 2 snatch attempts, one fire burn attempt. Ones you use a corolla, you will never want to change it. 5k fuel from Osun to Abuja plus 2days drive in Abuja city. The only issue with corolla is that you will spoil the car because of procrastination. Month after month you will just be saying I go change this part by month end.. Shikini money. And the car will just be looking at you SMH

I love Toyota cars because of resale value. I bought my Rx 300 four years ago@ 1.8m and sold it this year at 1.5m.
I just got tired of it, no issues at all. I got me a 2005 Corolla and discovered what I have been missing. Two k fuel takes me to my office and back home for one week without.

This year was wonderful, but will begin from last year
1. Achieved my goal of PhD under 30 last year which was set four years ago
2. This year got married to my trouphy wife and honeymooned in Dubai
3. Planned to relocate to Canada, passed IELTS after three attempts, ECA my PhD, got Saskatchewan invitation but declined it for reasons best known to me.

Goal for next year? Become a PR of Canada and be in Canada before my my next birthday in August 2020 with my wife and kid!
