ferdimako: Did u even read my comment? If u have a copy of your transcript when your school is not helping. You take it to them to send to WES. My brother has like 4 of his and if he is to apply when the school is missing up, he could go there and make them use one of those.

Mister I read your comment and understood every bit of it!

You are not applying to a school here, you are applying for your educational credentials assessment (ECA) for FSWP purposes. There are guidelines {you don't make the rules here}. There have been stipulated guidelines for transmitting your credentials especially your transcripts.

May be you need to be educated that transcripts are not documents that should be found unecessarily with a student. What you are entitled to is your certificate, you only get a copy your transcripts on special purpose and for special reason.

How does it sound to you when you start giving a copy of your transcripts back to the school that should issue them in the first place all in the name of wanting to help them discharge their duties!

Please make use of the guidelines for the dispatch of educational documents else you end up wasting precious time going back and forth trying to beat the system.

I understand you are a guru in the Australian immigration/student visa thread of the Travel section {and I can confidently tell you I know the much expected of any applicant in that too). The rules there does not apply here. Do not encourage people to send their transcripts themselves by asking people to "take it to them (educational institution) and they mail it to WES"

saipn: The letter is refund fee of FSW which i sent through EMS but what i received from my tracking number is unsuccessful delivery attempt

You should get in touch with EMS Canada with the subject line reading TOP URGENT! They should explain the reason for their inability to deliver on time. If you have their phone number, please call them ASAP.

saipn: @solomon i sent the letter through EMS to canada,they received my item at there office in canada in good condition through tracking but when it got to CIC office what i saw is unsuccesful delivery attempt ,what does dat mean?

Which letter is this please?

Whatever it is, the delivering post/courier should give better explanation as to why the delivery is unsuccessful. Maybe there was a mistake in the address or something.

folyshow: Hi,
Please I need someone to confirm to me if it is pssible to use non-educational(professional) certification for FSWP. By professional certifications i meant CISCO, ITIL, PMP, Prince2 etc. These certifications are globally acceptable. My educational certificate doesn't align with the required skill but i have certification to cover up. Which way to go pls..

As long as you obtained those qualifications under formal educational training,they will be accepted.

Please include those certificates and arrange for your transcripts to be sent directly to the assessing body you choose for assessment.

ferdimako: Australian way is the best in this.But what am saying is when your school denies you or claims your file is missing and you've got a copy,uyu take it to them and they mail it to WES.Job done!

How did you come by this your theory? In FSWP,you can not send your transcripts by yourself whatever the circumstance! Else your documents will be returned to you for non compliance.

ferdimako: May be you take a copy you've and make your school mail it to WES.Thank goodness,I know how to get around this transcript scourge!

Unlike what is obtainable with the Australian skill select program,you cannot send a copy of your transcript by yourself to WES or any other assessing bodies in Canada. The transcripts will have to be sent directly to them. This is however not applicable to all countries where educational qualifications are obtained. You would have to check the mode of transmitting your credentials to the assessing bodies. For qualifications obtained in Nigeria,you will have to request the issuing institution to send your transcripts directly.

FunW: Thanks a lot for the response. Does this then means i will submit just 2 documents. A) copy of my B. sc certificate and B) copy of my marriage certificate. Then my school can send the transcript directly.

You need to submit the highlighted only if you have effected a change of name in the documents you received subsequently after marriage. For the other documents,you are very correct.

FunW: I am currently compiling the documents to send to WES. I am a degree holder and also married. Kindly assist me with the documents to send to WES.

Copies of your degree certificates and other educational credentials that will help present you as somebody who is an economic asset to Canada. You would have to make a request for your transcripts to be forwarded directly to WES by the issuing institution. This is where I think you will need to focus more because most educational institutions especially the ones in Nigeria operate at a snail speed when it comes to dispatching transcripts and confirming the authenticity or otherwise of certificates.

mclarry: @Solomomn,
Someone used a naira mastercard debit card to apply. CIC returned his application stating reason as "several attempts to charge fees with the card failed". I'm yet to see anyone who succeeded in using a naira debit card. Please can you clarify this?

Has the person used the card for online payment before? There could have been a mismatch between the card details and what is entered on the application form. Please ask the person to cross check.

I can confirm to you that somebody has used a GT Bank Naira Master card for payment with CIC and he has gotten confirmation that the amount was deducted.

I understand some people have challenges with some Naira Master card. I have had challenges using GT Bank Naira Master card in the past for payments in the United Kingdom but I was able to overcome the challenges when I called GT Connect.

He should get to know what the problem is by calling the issuing bank.

bayo1: So there can't be 3,2 or 1 points for the second language?

Yes, it has to be 4 points,no more no less

I see WES has released a large number of evaluation reports in the last couple of hours. Whatever peeps in the forum will have to do has to be done now!

I foresee that the next months will witness a surge in the number of complete applications.

Please make haste now to submit your application as long as you have all the necessary documents for submission.

bayo1: So for second language, one can only get 4 or zero, not any other score in-between?

If you meet the minimum threshold in the four language abilities,you will get the 4 points.

bayo1: Hi Solomonwis, on what condition is second language points obtainable?

You can get details here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-language.asp

mpi210: WES normally sends 2 evaluation reports in one package.
Should I include the 2 in my application or just one?

You should include one in the application package. The other is for your record only.

mpi210: Thanks bro.
My friends at the bank are kinda worried out that one is giving out too much information which they feel is not safe and advised me to for a draft.
Thanks for all your help

You are welcome....Use whatever means you feel comfortable with. The Bank draft however has to be made payable in Canada and it should be in Canadian dollar.

mpi210: Solo,

My GT master card is in Naira. how would they access the funds in naira and secondly, apart from the Security no which should be included in the payment form, they dont have provision for password. how would they access my card if they dont have the password?

I don't think you should worry yourself about how the internal mechanism work with the bank. People here can attest to the fact that you can pay with your Naira Debit Card (Master Card).

All you need do is provide your details as specified on the form,they won't ask you for your password. Just supply the details as specified on the form and leave the rest as long as you have the fund in your account. Your account will be debited at the appropriate time.

[quote author=hari_it_ram]Thank you solomonwis , but it can be either IELTS or French right ?[/quote]Yes either IELTS,CELPIP {both for English Language Test} or TEF (French Test}

mpi210: Thank you so much for the insight.

In no 3, I meant, the proof of fund we are supposed to get from the banks, will it (total amount in one's account) be in Naira or Canadian dollar?

On no 4, is it like an A4 paper with my name and address boldly printed on it or what? I just didnt get it.

1. You are filling the form online,except of course the part where you might have to print out and SIGN. Aside this,you are not filling anything with pen.

3. The fund will have to be in your local currency(in your case,it will be in Nigerian Naira). You can make it available in US dollars if you like.

4.It will be on a plain paper....Just like when you are attaching an address to an A4 envelop.

mpi210: Solomonwis,
Please I have a couple of questions:

1. can one fill the form with pen and on PC or must it be 1? I asked cos the fonts are too big for some spaces in the form that it cannot even contains the full name of my school and they stated that there should be no abbreviation.

2. How reliable is GTB bank draft for the fee payment?

3. Will the settlement funds from Nigerian banks be in Canadian dollars or in Naira?

4. What do they mean by self-addressed mailing labels?

I just needed to ask these questions so as not to make any mistake.

Thanks

1. PLEASE DO NOT ABBREVIATE write as much as the space provided can contain,leave the rest...You already have documents stating the name of the Institution attended.

2 & 3 - If you have a GT Bank Debit card,please provide the details as that will ease the payment.In fact,it will save you a lot of cost associated with raising bank draft. Moreover,the draft have to be in canadian Dollar and should be payable by a bank in Canada. In essence,a special arrangement has to be made with the bank where they'd issue a draft made payable in Canada on your behalf {This will not be a GT Bank Draft}. To save you the hassle,make the funds available in your account and provide your debit card details on the application form and the rest will be done by them.

4. Self-addressing mailing label is a label giving details of you and your address. They usually ask of this so they don't commit any mistake when sending any documents/letter/correspondence to you.

[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hi solomonwis,LadyGuinivere,

This is question may be very silly,
Is it necessary for spouse to clear the Basic English requirement, even though I am going to be the only applicant? , The Canadian lawyer always says that “Spouse should have basic language requirement”[/quote]It is not a necessity. it only gives an additional 5 points when you include your spouse's English language test.Outside of this, nothing to lose.

LadyGuinivere: R we back to hiding posts again?

What was hidden had absolutely nothing to do with this thread....

@ Justwise, we got a sick psycho patient on the Canadian Federal skilled worker program Times here thread. He needs to chained and returned back to his sick bed. I think he's Benjohn.

Please help before more damage is done

pjosysnet: Hello Solomon Wise,

I am really so delighted to have seen this thread and read this beautiful information on Canada FSWP and most especially from someone experience like you.

But then i will like to know for 2013 the list of FSWP so as to know if my field of profession is there for example, i just graduated from a University where i read Accounting but i have been an IT Professional for 10 years now.

I will appreciate to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Well,You would have to choose between being eligible under 1112 Financial and investment analysts,2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers and Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers)

What would determine your eligibility under any of the above will be your work experience over time.

Unfortunately,your qualification and work experience should have a positive correlation and it doesn't appear to be so in your case. This is moreso because you'd have to choose the eligible occupation under which you want your application assessed

Let me give you these links so you can guide yourself on what is expected of you in terms of the eligible occupations as listed on the NOC website.

Financial and investment analysts
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=1112

Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers)
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2147

Computer programmers and interactive media developers
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2174

Let me ask,do you have any qualification at all in IT? On what basis did you gain/garnered the work experience in IT over the last 10 years? Your response will determine the way to go.

saipn: @solomon, can i notify them on d attach letter dat their letter got to my mail box late?

Yes you can inform them of the date you received the letter. But that will not do as much help as returning the form/letter within the specified 60 days.

They actually have an idea of the fact that there may be postal delay so just return the form early enough.

saipn: @solomon i'm one of those that applied for fSW on december 2007 which was terminated by immigration law.
1. I received a letter from CIC last week friday stating i should fill a return of processing fee form dat was sent to me,although the letter got to my postal address box late because they have sent d letter since may 24 and what was written on d letter is dat the form must be return back to them within 60 days.
2. My middle name was wrongly spelt MAYOKUN is my correct name filled on the form but they wrote ''MOYOKUN'' on the letter sent to me
3.pls what should i do to back up the error written on my name and how to fast track the letter to them before the stipulated 60 days

As regards the name that was mispelt name, nothing to worry about. You just fill the attached form with the correct name and the bank details for which the payment/refund will be made. You can attach a letter to back this up{I'm advising with the mind set that the mistake is not from you when sending your application form}. You can send a copy of the generic application form you sent when applying.

As regards fast tracking,you can dispatch the form via courier and within days it will be delivered to the desired destination to beat the deadline.

I hope the above clarifies.

justwise: You are nobody, if you are somebody at all then you got no working brain. Forums like this exist every where online where like minded individuals ask questions and share ideas without money exchange hands. Nobody here is representing anybody, at the end individuals handles their application and submit at embassy.

This is not pay service, nobody here claims to be an immigration officer or lawyer, i hide post of people who encourages fraud or ask for money because this is not what the forum is all about.

If you think we are committing any offense here then report to Canadian embassy let them contact the owner of the site.

You seriously need to ignore this attention seeker!

You don't waste space and time of on such scallywags.

mercylicious: Thanks Solomonwise, u r really a wise solomon.
So there is no need puting the old uci no.

It is optional. If I were in your shoes I wouldn't put it.

mercylicious: I've been denied student visa to canny b4. Do u advise I use my uci no in this applicatn while filling the form?
Another questn is if one puts sask as province when applying, must he/she stay in the same province? I intend staying in Calgary (because my job is very available there) but I feel it my reduce my chances due to the number of people that wants to immigrate there.

Your UCI obtained at the point of applying for study permit has absolutely nothing to do with your FSWP application except of course there's a breach of any immigration law which cast doubt on your application.

Putting sask at the point of application will not stop you from moving to any other province when you eventually get in to Canada. That is meant to provide the necessary data for CIC and for the Canadian government for planning. Your chance of selection is not reduced by the province that you fill on the application form. Once your application is received and passed on to the office responsible for processing,you are on your way to Canada except all the information provided on the application along with the supporting documents have question mark on them. In essence,the success or otherwise of your alication is a function of your meeting up with the eligibility requirements and not a function of the province chosen.

You can move to any province but your movement have to be documented and the appropriate authority informed until your Canadian International passport is issued.

Royaldee: Hi

Can sm1 help me interprete my IELTS score. What is my point under English. How many points was I able to pull all together.

Below r my scores:

Speaking. 7.0
Listening. 7.5
Writing. 6.5
Reading. 7.0

Band Level: 7.0

Thanks

Speaking. 7.0 = 6 points {CLB 9 and above}
Listening. 7.5 = 5 points {CLB 8}
Writing. 6.5 = 5 points {CLB 8}
Reading. 7.0 = 6 points {CLB 9 and above}
Total =22 points

This is putting it conservatively without adding the second language additional points that may be earned.

[quote author=hari_it_ram]Thanks a lot solomonwis. Its helpfull, however for 1st 10 - 20 pages i thoughts its for student visa; but they are talking abt PR as well dats encouraging.hope i can find someone like u there

As a final query :-

Just now, i spoke to old manager and he agreed to give in the prescribed format , but reference letter for 18 months is enough to claim 9 points solomonwis ?

Kindly reply[/quote]That's good news!

All you need to claim 9 points is a 12-motnh work experience. You with your 18 months, you can earn 9 points! Go get it!

[quote author=hari_it_ram]So moving to Aus PR process since i have almost have 65 points , and they accept declaration in place of reference letter.

but my only worry is i cant find grt forum like nairaland where all the new comers are respected on equal grounds by seniors.[/quote]On nairaland, there's a forum for movement to Australia and I bet you, there are great friends there just as you have here. You call follow this link https://www.nairaland.com/1032530/general-australian-student-visa-enquiries/75

[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hey solomonwis and Lady,

Stopped the process . it seems i cant get the reference letter for one of my concern

But you guys have made me to clear in all the sector towards processing , thanks a billion.[/quote]So sad that you have to stop at this point. why is it so difficult for employers in India to give reference letter? I have heard this on many occasion and I keep wondering could there be a national law restricting employers from giving reference letter in India.

I wish you all the best!
