Zinnyk:
Happy Sunday house, please am about to register for WES and I don't know which name to use. Hubby is telling me to use my marriage name because it's what is on my international passport . I feel its not okay because my school certificates are bearing my maiden names,please someone should guard me on this. Thank you.

Your husband is right...you should use the name on your passport for sake of consistency. And since you changed your name, you should also submit marriage certificate, sworn affidavit and newspaper paper article

Abk2019:
thanks,is courier inclusive and for how long

Doesn't include courier

Abk2019:
Pls nairalanders, does anyone know how much OOU charge for transcript and courier and how long it takes. Also,I work in one of the state's ministry(Community Development) which NOC will dat be? and concerning d POF as we all know how civil servants are protesting for minimum wage increase, won't it disqualify me,if I av d required funds in my account as a level 8officer. Though, building d account isn't a problem but my salary can never amount to d required fund for a yr, even if I decide not to spend it at all. Am d PA, but my husband has d money.pls help!

For OOU, its 51k for transcript

Congratulations Ramj!!!!

All the best moving forward

Debsify:
biko one year certificate is how many points?

You can use the CRS calculator to know

manlikegb:


@Sthill5, may I ask how long(program duration) it took to complete either/each of the 3? I have a BIL who is in the I.T. field, his CRS is presently 426 so we're looking for a way to increase his score.

1. Certificate in IT (https://www.bcs.org/category/18082)
2. Diploma in IT (https://www.bcs.org/category/18083)
3. Professional Graduate Diploma in IT (https://www.bcs.org/category/18084)

Thanks.

There is no set length of time...you can go at your own pace and when you're ready, you just register for the exam

sconp:


Hi from the thread on Canada visa I noticed you evaluated three different certificates. I.e Diploma in IT, Certificate in IT and post graduate diploma in IT. Was it the three certs that was equated to a three year program? I.e one per year?

Its professional graduate diploma which is evaluated to a three year degree
Certificate in IT gets one year certificate
The diploma in IT is evaluated as a two year diploma

adenikeO:
That's correct, the next available exam is September. The registration for March sitting has already closed.

Great! One tip I will give though is to study the past questions very well. The good thing too is that they provide answer scripts to the questions. You can then see how to answer the questions correctly

Ocon:
Thank you..
Is it possible for one to self-study and pass the exams.
I have no prior knowledge in IT

Yes you can self study...I'm sure they will give you access to study materials whether paid or.not..simply go hear from the horse's mouth...I finished the program in 2011 so some things must have changed

Ocon:
I'd have love to go for this rather than a PGD but the Only study center is in Far away Jos

I recently learned that the British council in Lagos conducts the exam every march and September Contact them
The certificate course is just 3 modules

hlemon:


Yes. Certificate or Diploma in IT from British Computer Society (BCS).

WES would evaluate it as Bachelor's degree (three years) according to this feedback.

Lol...this is me

I couldn't find anyone who had exact same qualifications so I went ahead, got a positive evaluation and left a feedback
PPR where are you??

@tojued

A BIG congratulations to you and family. It wasn't easy but it was worth it.

chinnycliff2:

joo2018:
Keep the faith. I believe Accra will continue to bring good news this year.

Amen to that

Topsmamen:


Hmm. You never can tell though, might be a blessing in disguise. Just yesterday, I learned someone whose application has been left untouched for a while sent an email to CIC and got an ADR almost instantly. Same Accra. I'm positive PPR is looming for that person. Let's keep the faith.
You might just be surprised.

Thank you..I pray so too

I just discovered my file is in Accra.

Completely heartbroken

Wow part 7...the wait is really not easy o

Two months post AOR but i know I will announce my PPR on this thread and so will many of us waiting...

Mimi1999:
Good day everyone.
I am asking for my in laws. They both have OND and HND. One HAD both in Auchi polutevhnic while the other lady HAD OND in abia state polytechnic and HND in wolex polytrchnic that is now a university.
How can I verify if WES recognizes these schools and degrees? I heard OND ane HND are recognized as 2 degrees.They both want to be primary applicants.
People of God bless put mouth inside this matter.
Thanks!

I think WES will recognize those schools but to be sure check their list of recognized institution on their website. As for being the PA, na who young pass o. Age is also significant

Newmum0615:
Charles Hammond Clinic in VI if you are in Lagos. It's on Adetokunbo Ademola Street, just beside Sovereign Trust Insurance building after Tantalizers. You may miss it if you don't use these landmarks. Go with your original Nigerian Passport, N10k and last scan report from your doctor.

Thank you

Newmum0615:
Oga number 13, I am sorry.

Who issues fit to fly papers please

Congratulations Newmum

I wasn't disappointed...all the best moving forward

Topsmamen:
Unfortunately, no. You can only claim points from a sibling (blood relative/same parents).

Step siblings too

ThePath:
Hi there.
Are there any points for having a nephew in law in Canada ? He’s my husband’s eldest sister’s son

You can only gain points from a sibling or spouse's sibling so no..sorry

joo2018:
@Sthill5, was that snapshot from a mail to you? Their website is still showing the old requirements without BIL.

Yes it was sent to me..just go ahead to click yes to if you have eligibility documents and choose a date.

Thats what I did and then they sent the email and I forwarded my BIL as a reply

Millalorinzzz:
Please does an OND certificate and Bsc certificate qualifies for two or more certificate, even if the person did not use the Ond for direct entry into the university and they are two different courses
Also, is WES or ICES better for the evaluation.

Yes it does...If you want to save cost, then WES is your best bet

Hey guys,

Figured ill mention that the guys at planning for Canada now accept biometric instruction letter to register for the online sessions

mosky47:


Lol..... I agree that you are over thinking it. The man wants to ask you about Express Entry.

On a more serious note, I don't think your examiner in the speaking test has the final say in your grading. The entire exam session is being recorded for quality assurance, and remember the examiners are also being examined for transparency and will likely not be invited for an examination in the future if they cheat.

So, don't sweat it. Just wait and hear what he would say when he calls.

This is Nigeria, never say never.
someone I know got a call from a MOD Idp after several attempts that he should"settle" so that he can pass

IyaAkani:
Good day everyone, this is a new account opened just to post this. I did my speaking test this morning and I want to share what happened with you guys.


Examiner: I don't usually do this but I don't know why I called you back. I can't give you my number but write your name and phone number here. This is just between us nobody has to know about this.
Me

Hmm, that examiner sounds suspicious. I would record the conversation if I were you. Was it with MOD Idp?

Newmum0615:
You no dey current be that. Me wey don visit Trudeau how many times since I come.

Landing gist na
