aspirecanada: @solomonwis: The process that I followed was as per the document requirement norms specified by WES for my country (which is as follows):Pardon me for misunderstanding you. I didn't have India in mind when writing what I wrote. As you'd agree with me,the underlying factor is for the transcripts not to be tampered with by the requesting party. This is a universal principle for the sending and receipt of transcripts. |

mercylicious: Plz, I have a degree, an IT certificatn in itil and my ssce."WES only evaluates credentials earned through formal academic training. Applicants should not submit short-term professional development courses or other non-formal, non-academic training documents. These types of documents will not be evaluated or included in the WES evaluation report" The IT certification may not suffice as it might not have been earned through formal academic training. I will advise that you include the certificates and see what WES will do. |
sholean: Please how many copies of Evaluation Report does WES sends for FSWP is it 2 or do you have to pay for the second?WES issue 2 results,1 for you and the other to be submitted along with your application to CIC. You pay for additional result aside the 2 issued if you want. |
mercylicious: Must the Wes transcript request form be signed and sent to wes? I did online request and my school normally attaches a cover letter which each transcript they send. @ppl dt have submitted, did u send the form?The request form is just to provide a guide, it is not compulsory. As a matter of fact,the form is to the issuing educational institution and not to WES. |
aspirecanada: Hi just wanted to share some information regarding sending the documents to WES. For evaluation of my MBA degree(completed in India), I approached my college.What you did in step 3 was the job of a postman { I don't mean any harm saying that, so please pardon me}. You are not expected to be privy to the process of the transcript being dispatched to WES. I should expect that a letter will follow the transcripts stating that it was issued under confidentiality and it should not find its way into your hands. I am saying this because you are not (obviously not) encouraging people to collect transcripts and dispatch to WES. I can authoritatively tell you that when WES know you were involved in the process of sending the transcript, you will get a status update like "Not Acceptable, Resubmit Document(s) according to WES requirements" Disclosing that you sent the documents yourself and it was accepted by WES on a forum like this will make things difficult for people in the near future, as the process will be expected to undergo changes to tighten the loose ends and I bet you, they will make research and probably google to sieve out information, they will find nairaland and all the information regarding FSWP. You can imagine what will happen afterwards. The right thing to do therefore is to request that your school/educational institution(s) send transcripts DIRECTLY to WES. You must never be involved in the process of dispatch, you can expedite the process through whatever means but you should not be seen in the process of communication between WES (or any other assessing authorities) and your educational institution(s). |
tomtom1234: Hi solomonwis, LadyGuinivere:It will be calculated as 20 months work experience (1yr 8months) |
[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hi solomonwis, LadyGuinivere: Just nw spoke with a lawyer from Canada regarding work exp , My previous companies are not willing to provide me the reference letter with roles and responsibilities. I thought there wound be some alternative like declaration . But the Lawyer said , there is no alternative solution for Reference letter we have get the reference letter as the CIC format is that true ? if yes then its really tough for me. Kindly clarify.[/quote]Unfortunately,you need a reference letter from your previous employer dating back to 10 years. I would suggest you approach your previous employer and explain the need for them to provide you with the letter. This does not only show that you have the requisite experience needed for the award of points but also attest to the fact that you are not a person of questionable character. I should let you know your previous employer's unwillingness to give you a reference letter may send a bad signal and that put the application on the express road to jeopardy. Do all you can to get your employer,either present or previous to give you work reference as that's the only way to claim the number of years of experience as you might have declared in your application. If they decide to give the reference butt not according to CIC specification,you are permitted to include a copy of your employment letter,payslips,pay stubs,letter of confirmation,letter of promotion,etc along with whatever they give you as reference. This will suffice for all that is specified by CIC. They can always get in touch with your employer(s) to ascertain whatever information you pprovide |
mercylicious: Plz my ppl, I've fixed the problem above by changing my data in the US site.Mercilicious,I don't know why you had to wait this long to fire the missile...I believe you got what it takes and I've been encouraging you to fire the first salvo. It is never too late though. I am glad you have decided to take the bull by the horn. WES is WES either in USA or Canada... You won't be surprised that the evaluation are sometimes done even outside of Canada (with WES USA supporting WES Canada). Once you have your qualification evaluated with them, you can rest assured that your details are on their database. Registered mail is useful only when you intend receiving your mail in Canada. It is worthless to go for registered mail as it does not guarantee express delivery. It only give you an assurance of safe delivery. To my mind, this is the same as a regular mail. Express delivery cost more but guarantees safe and quick delivery. You can work with the fact that you know the location of your ECA result. The choice is yours to make. |
[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hi solomonwis, LadyGuinivere: Yeah thanks. I understand that, i can send the individual certificates on my own ( each Semester, provisional and degree certificates ) for both degree and diploma. ONLY the transcripts have to thru university to WES. The word Transcripts actually means the Consolidate mark sheet?? (Which says all the subject title and marks obtained along with the class I belong to?) [/b]Bcoz for B.Tech I have all range of certificates 1) Provisional certificates – Hope I can send it on my own. 2) Degree certificates – Hope I can send it on my own. 3) All Semester mark sheet - Hope I can send it on my own. 4) Consolidate mark sheet – it HAS to be thru university to WES For Diploma I have all range of certificates other than consolidate marksheet 1) Provisional certificates – Hope I can send it on my own 2) Degree certificates – Hope I can send it on my own 3) All Semester mark sheet - Hope I can send it on my own. 4) Consolidate mark sheet – I graduated in 2004 , at that time Director of technical education (DOTE) never gave consolidate mark sheet for diploma holders , but after 2006 they are started issuing it , so shall I go and approach them for consolidate mark sheet or just apply to WES the documents which I have currently. If I apply with what I have ,then I don’t need any seal from them. Thanks a lot for your time and replies [/quote]The bold part above is correct.I have attached a copy of WES transcripts request form FYI/perusal. It will give you an idea of what TRANSCRIPTS entail and give you the manner under which it has to be dispatched to WES |
[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hi solomonwis , LadyGuinivere: Thanks a lot for your replies , really happy to see ur replies. And one of the MOST important thing , today i spoke with canadian laywer regarding IELTS points. we can only obtain the additional 4 points for the second official language if you have at least basic proficiency in French/English,for ex in my case , i cannot obtain less than 6.0 on an IELTS test in any of the areas of English proficiency, in order to obtain the 4 points for second language. even if u have mid level proficiency in French and got less than 6.0 in IELTS (in case of 1st official lang ) u are not eligible for 4 points. Hope This is will clear lots of doubts I am planning to get the "SEAL" from university and get the envelope from them to send on behalf of them. - whether this is ok ? Reason for different envelope , i did my diploma and got the certificate from Directorate of technical education - so for this i cant get it from the university where i did B.tech - have to get from DOTE and sent from there envelope This will be 1st envelope my 2nd will be from university where i did b.tech i cant club both the certificate , since its from two different authority. kindly correct me if i am worng.[/quote]The certificates are your documents,they are not expected to be sent to WES by the issuing institution only the TRANSCRIPTS can be sent in this manner. You are to send COPIES of your certificates to WES for evaluation,hence there's no format for sending the certificates. It will save you the cost of using two envelops to send them WES. The certificates can be sent using a single envelop. In this manner,you can rest assured your documents will get to WES at the same time and this is cost effective. REMEMBER, TRANSCRIPTS ARE TO BE SENT BY THE ISSUING INSTITUTIONS. You cannot send it on their behalf, the document will be rejected by WES when you don't send them in the manner specified. |
[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hi solomonwis, Whether i need to attest both diploma as well as degree and it has to be in separate envelope ? How long WES is valid ? 5 years ?. i feel its better to be ready with both IELTS and WES.[/quote]You really don't need to attest/notarize any document. You are however at liberty to notarize if you feel strongly about it. Either way, you stand to lose nothing. ECA issued by WES{and every authorized assessing organisation} is valid for 5 years from the date of issue. Sure it is better to get all the documents ready especially your IELTS and Educational Credentials Assessment (ECA),WES is one out of 4 organizations that carry out the assessment. All documents to be sent to WES can be in a single envelop. Remember, you can not send your transcripts to WES or any assessing organization by yourself, the transcripts MUST be sent by the issuing authority. |

[quote author=hari_it_ram]Hi solomonwis , LadyGuinivere and other senior members , This is Hari from india. Really thank you so much for your detailed information. Last night i got a quote from David Cohen and its almost CAD 3500. I really don't such huge about at present , thought of going for loan in order to avail the service. After seeing this forum got some confidence that i can do it on my own with some detailed research and mind set. I thought of filling this year , but i the reality and it already 15 applications for ( 2174 - Computer programmers and interactive media developers ). so going to collect all the doc and info , and never mind even if i file next year. Just few things reg IELTS , Education 1) Lets say if score anything within the range of ( S 7.0 – 9.0, L 8.0 – 9.0, R 7.0 – 9.0, W 7.0 – 9.0 ) in IELTS can i be rest assured of additional 4 points in Second official language ? 2) I have Diploma in IT (3 Years) , thru which i got admitted directly into 2nd year of 4 years program for B.Tech (IT); so in this case can i claim 22 points instead of 21 bcoz it stated as (Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials is for the completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer) So my points will be Education - 22 IELTS - ( 24 - band 7 or above ) + 4 points 2nd official additional - Have confidence that i can take 7 Exp - 11 Age - 12 Total of 73 , am i right or i don't even have the knowledge to calculate points ![]() I never got response from canadavisa or expat for my query hope this nairaland will understand me Thanks and please tc.[/quote]You are welcome Hari. Your calculation for the educational qualification may be right but you need to get those qualifications assessed so they can be adjudged to be equivalent to a canadian qualification before you can safely award those points. Regarding your language test result,I would advise that you be conservative in your calculation. Assume that you will not be awarded additional 4 points for the second official language as that area remain largely vague for now. I believe without the second official language and judging from your calculation,you will still meet up with the 67 minimum point to scale through. Just do the basic and brace up for submission if not for this session,you will be more than ready for the next session expected to start in May 2014 that's not to discourage you from sending your application when all is set |
adepojuot: Saudi Arabia radwan: thank ... And and im an international student from Saudi Arabia who would like to travel to Nigeria to study and live his life there because I'm original Nigerian but not citizen , can u help plz then I can go to the embassy with some information ![]() |
sholean: Please can anyone tell if your school has to send hard copy response to WES for verification or verification should be done via email?That depends on the medium of communication between your school and WES. Most times, the communication is via post mail and not email. |
Royaldee: Pls apart from our schools sending transcripts to WES, do i need to send any thing at all to them? pls assist.You need to send copies of your certificate(s). |
Vicjustice: My mistake.You are the man. Thanks! |
Vicjustice: Won't it be more reasonable if the person asks the question him/herself?You didn't check the link vicjustice,somebody asked a question...i am only interested in your response. I am not asking any question on behalf of anybody. |
Glamglam: This is a beautiful picture. I could actually display this on my living room wall..Yea really nice,especially when NEPA (sorry PHCN) have not gone asleep... ![]() |
Vicjustice/Justwise.. There is a question for you,at this link https://www.nairaland.com/967110/main-reasons-many-refused-visas/19 Had a friend with a similar case,in fact the wordings of the refusal notice are exactly the same,so I am interested in knowing what your advise will be for this person. I trust you'd do justice. |

4 Play: Yes, Nigeria is poor country. Let's have a debate that is based on facts not like a beer parlour argument. As at 2008, Nigeria's total oil revenue since independence stood at around $600bn as stated in this link:http://qn.som.yale.edu/content/has-globalization-failed-nigeriaWhat are the parameters for measuring the poverty level of a country? The quantum of resources at its disposal? the welfare of the citizenry? the GDP? You can not base your argument on those figures I maintain. In a country where the paucity of data is alarming, where the level of corruption is award winning, how do arrive at the revenue generated from oil. Are they really accounting for all the oil transactions in the country? Please, this is not about oil revenue nor is it about those data that you can not vouch for. Our poverty is not caused by the resources that we have or we have not.....It is GREED, leadership problem and corruption! The welfare of a country is not determined by the resources at the disposal of a country but by the welfare system put in place by a government that have the genuine interest of the people at heart. No country is poor except when the leaders are poor in thinking! |
ifechukwukamso: @Solomonwis you are absolutely right. Under normal circumstances both should be evaluated. You pay nothing extra for thatI tell you most schools outside Europe take almost forever sending in verification. Some schools in Europe have a digitiary system that is acceptable to WES where they verify credentials online. Nigeria is a sorry case, most schools in Nigeria will wait for only God knows what to verify educational qualification that they issue. I think people will need to factor this in before sending in their application. That is not to discourage people from trying the more. Do all you can to get your school send in your transcript and verify as quickly as possible to meet up before the cap for your eligible occupation is filled. |
4 Play: Nigeria is poorNigeria is poor Where is the British Govt. getting the tax receipts from? |
[quote author=Heckler&koch.]As I carefully go through all the comments here, I can see the seed poverty and suffering has sowed i the heart of Nigerians. It has sowed envy, hate and maliciousness. 90% of comments here are from people who haven't set foot on muritala muhammad airport, but you hear them saying " come back home" " UK is hell" this and that, yet I can bet my life that if all if these people are given a Greek Visa, they will jump on it like flies. Nigeria is third world nation for God's sake, one of the poorest nations on the globe. Desperate time calls for desperate measure, there is a global crises, Europe, America, Asia are all in crises, so this is a period of austerity and cuts, if the Nigerians are angry, compel your governments to tighten regulations for British oil companies that continuously leech off Nigeria' resources. But comparing Nigeria and UK is absolute madness, it's like comparing stone with bread.[/quote]Balderdash! Absolute crap! Are the Britons not enjoying from the "British oil companies that continuously leech off Nigeria' resources"? Will they not begin to threaten us with sanctions just because we don't dance to their tunes in an arm twisting fashion? Bottom line is, our "friends" from outside the countries are our enemies. I've worked with them and I speak from experience, nice on the surface but smooth killers underneath. |
[quote author=Table Leg ]They know the primary targets and therefore they feel the measure will help check the influx on that front .... On the terrorists front, they have other measures in place, although i am not saying those measures are 100% effective Measures to check terrorism is continuously worked on ... But the issue here is the prospective visitors who come here and dont plan to return or plan to drain or create a burden on the UK economy ... £3k is nothing to a die hard foreigner who plans to emigrate via any means ... People pay much more to get smuggled but this measure will reduce the numbers... So i say till people get round it, it is a good immigration and border control measure![/quote]My grouse is with the primary target. why do they single us out every time? Yes, we have our challenges but do they have to make us feel less human with measures like this? what happen to the EEA citizens who come into the UK make use of the social infrastructures and run back to their countries? I don't blame them for wanting to control their border and keep the net immigration low but to single out some African countries and some Asian countries is absurd and smack of official racism. |
[quote author=james-t]it's a shame that a lot of us here a whinning about the UK government's decision. Truth is, it's their country and can damn do what they please. As for those who find it irresistable, what's wrong with your life in Naija? Why must you go to another country, where you born an ambassador? Is getting garri not hard enough that you are now trying to go where bugger is out of your reach? Anyway, I have a simple solution that is guaranteed to make Naija a better place. That solution is to unban corruption in the country, specifically stealing from govt coffers. But if you do unjustly help yourself to our commonwealth, you must invest it here, failure to do that will be an outright sentence to immediate death on discovery. This should be backed by a strong law sha. [/quote]who is buying into that solution? Those greedy set of people in power who think of no one else but themselves? Bro, come up with something like a revolution! something more draconian! |
[quote author=Table Leg ]Good news ... It wont deter die hard folks but at least it will reduce the influx! Tougher measures needed .... [/quote]You're sure about that?Are you sure they are not opening their border to terrorists who definitely have the financial wherewithal to pay the bond just so they can gain entry to carry out their dastardly act? |
ballabriggs: Nigerians say the UK is finished yet they flock to one of the worst tourist destinations.I am just imagining a scenario of a family of 5 applying for 6 month UK visa. It means they'd part with £15,000 for a 2 weeks stay....It is unimaginable....tying down such amount all in the name of visiting the UK. This ogogoro drinking leaders won't wake up to fight for development of the country, all they are interested in is who is supporting and who is against.........A revolution is looming, I hope it won't be like that that of Egypt/Libya. God bless Nigeria!......Walk away dejected ![]() |
ifechukwukamso: Hi LadyGuinivere i don't think all the documents needs to be assessed by WESIt cost absolutely nothing extra for the Bsc degree to be evaluated along with the Masters degree. It is important that the progression in education be shown and also assessed. WES will evaluate your credentials so they can quickly attend to the numerous application they have. It is your responsibility to ask that they evaluate every credential as listed by you. To say you don't need to include your Bsc degree since your Master degree has been evaluated will amount to an ERROR. He needs to include both his Bsc and Master degree qualification (as long as he wants to claim point with the Masters degree). This does not only show academic progression but also show how his skills will be assessed. Remember, your ECA is not just for now but also for the future. The Bsc degree may come in more useful in the future than the Masters degree. When you have all your credentials evaluated/assessed you are more than prepared for whatever changes that may be effected in the future. As a matter of fact, all your post-secondary school qualifications relating to your eligible occupation should be sent to CIC. |
claremont: I'm not surprised that the Conservative-led UK government has decided to toe the line of the racist policies of the Australians. Americans, Canadians, Australians all come to the UK and overstay, why have they not been targeted by this policy?!You wouldn't believe the Britons and American rank top as illegal immigrants and even legal immigrants in Australia! This policy will only make criminals more daring in gaining access/entrance to the UK. You need to ask where terrorists get all the millions used in terrorizing /tormenting people all over the world. Deposit bond will not be a deterrent to people who already have a mind set of staying illegally in the UK, it will only deter people with genuine interest of visiting the UK and contributing to the GDP of the country. |
