Hi Everyone,

This is my first time posting.
Though I've been doing under-G reading for some weeks now.

My wife and I just applied for our international passports. Wanted to know if it's ok to proceed with WES before writing IELTS.

Noticed I couldn't apply for IELTS & TEF without the passport and since the WES looks like it might take some time. I just thought i should start that process now while I await my passport in some few weeks.

Yes you should start WES asap. It can take time so you don't want to take too long in beginning the process

ShininLite:
@Sthill5...Thanks for your reply...he is a BSc Computer Science degree holder from a nigerian uni.

@mcstan...thanks for your reply...he has CISCO , MICROSOFT, CLOUD COMPUTING and PMP certfications.

I meant IT qualifications from British Computer Society. Sorry I wasnt clear earlier

ShininLite:
Bros...think of it like this...

There are people out there who may be helped with this question.

Don't just focus on the fact that my friend currently seats at 441.

There are people who need this information to scale up their scores.

So please...does anyone know if International IT certifications are evaluated as second post secondary certificate with any evaluation agency? Does it add points to your Express entry CRS score?

Thank you for your responses...

Does he have BCS qualifications in IT? If yes, it can add points

Congratulations to everybodyyy is in order. I lost count somewhere
IELTS, ECA, ITA, PPR, COPR, Landing...... a very hearty congrats to you all

@sthill5..... special congratulations to you on your double victory..... more like triple victory cuz the ITA is already guaranteed. You were one of the kind voices when I started. Wishing u the very best to PPR and beyond

@dumprep.... interesting read. Congrats. Your brother deserves 1 bottle of vodka. Please when you get COPR and pick up the passport, enter Uber biko.... we can't have conductors eyeing your passport at this time

@stonecoldcafe.... thanks for that question you asked about whether the visa comes with photo. I was adequately pre-warned and saved myself both a mini-heart attack and from acting small drama at vfs

Thank you!

I wonder if IRCC will hold a draw today.

freshdad:
Yes, tax is compulsory and from what I gathered from @bigfido who got PR as a self employed applicant, he presented his personal income tax and ensured they are upto date so I think you should sort out LIRS. However, if it would make you sleep well, you can folllow up with FIRS

I did this today. I went to file for my tax receipts to be sorted. I'm a one man business so they said I can only do personal income tax.

Good day

Please I have a question for those who went through the self employment route.
I'm a self employed applicant and I want to know how many reference letters from clients will suffice as part of proof for my work experience (business)

Thank you in advance for your response

pyruvateluv:


OK thanks. You sent it yourself to them via courier?

Hello fax

Sounds like you need to romance page 1

pyruvateluv:


Please does WES require degree certificate for evaluation?

You can use your certificate or notification/statement of result

Kmgb:


Awwww,just go and be doing your medicals and co

Yea already booked with Qlife

Kmgb:


Awwww,just go and be doing your medicals and co

.

Yes already booked with Qlife

Serious surprise draw.
I picked up my results from BC today, thinking I'll enter the pool tonight for ITA on Wednesday lol.
I wonder if they will be another draw on Wednesday

alwayspositive8:
But the thing is just with the various reviews online,is it likely for one to get an upgrade in reading?... But since remark is a bit cheaper in BC than MOD you could give it a try....All the best bro... I will probably just go for a re-sit

I wrote with MOD on my 2nd and 3rd attempts and I ended up with 6.5 in writing both times. I ran back to BC and aced it on my 4th.

People have passed with MOD too so no one knows for sure but my advice is to practice really hard!
I had the pleasure of putting my practice notebooks away yesterday and I realised i was doing 8-10 practise tests per day. I mainly used www.ieltsonlinetests.com for listening then switched to YouTube when I was done with it.
Reading was ieltsfever and mini-ielts.com

Writing was Ieltsliz both her free and paid resources

I never really touched speaking. I think the first 3 attempts gave me enough experience.

Just keep at improving. I think what also helped me was that I wasn't just preparing for IELTS but used it as an.opportunity to improve my English and reading passages gave me some knowledge on different range of topics I would ordinarily not seek out.
You'll do great as long as you practice and it becomes a part of you.

Ladson:
I am a newbie. I need help on where to start and How to start please.

Page 1 is a good start

mumsjoy:
Good morning house, pls anyone with an idea of where IDP and BC exam centre is in Enugu!

IDP currently do not have a center in Enugu.
Only Lagos. Abuja and PH.

BC does but I think you are advised on the venue and probably not a specific place. You should call the british council office on Monday to confirm. Hope this helps

TEECANN:


Congratulations sis. This round of IELTS is undoubtedly @Sthill5's IELTS.

Yours is a story that resonates tenacity, doggedness and determination.

Starting with your ECA hustle to this beautiful IELTS smashing...

*SIGH* Currently in the same shoes o. my verification has been sitting in OOU's email for almost 3 weeks now, they claim their network is down. I refuse to be depressed but its really sad honestly... I know I will share my testimony soon.

This OOU wahala is something else. Mine was done after two months. As far as i know, only mrs Kaka can do it.. Disturb her like crazy. I called her so much that she knew my name by heart anytime I call lol

Even if she doesn't answer, just keep calling, be very patient and polite. She's very nice

Vancouver4:

Peterolums:
GUYS I need help , i have Bsc from FUTA , Msc from UI. Everyother requiremenmt met. 8.5,7,7,7. age 28, 5 years experience . i want to do ECA with WES. But i need to know first .

do i have to evaluate both Bsc and Msc results . Also is it a must to send WAEC.
LASTLY , i want to know is tehre anyway i can fasttrack this WES program . dont want it to go beyond 2 months . thanks

Evaluate only the Msc as it gives you the max points for education.

You have absolutely no control over how long the evaluation will take so just relax do your part and wait. and yes it is now a must to submit WAEC but you can avoid it by using other bodies like ICES and IQAS

smslive2:
Great news. Congrats... Please which BCs qualification did you evaluate?

Certificate in IT
Diploma in IT
Professional Graduate Diploma (with project)

dbaba83:
@vickyehi,
Thanks , but in the application they are requested for the following. Her name , date of birth and her residence , does that mean where she’s from I.e. Nigeria or Ogun state
Or am I getting it wrong.

RESIDENCE meaning where she currently stays not country of origin

I can finally share my first good news on this thread.

After a grueling 6 months of transcript and verification issues with OOU for my diploma attained in 2006, my ECA is finally ready. Completion date was September 19 but only God and WES knows why it took so long

Also my degree equivalent from the UK (British Computer Society ) was evaluated to be a canadian bachelors degree so I can now officially claim points for two certificates! So if you or someone you know has BCS qualifications in IT, they should evaluate it

Thank you newmum and happytbaby for encouraging me to go through the naija stress of evaluating my diploma. I spent almost 150k and 4 trips to ago-iwoye. Coming back home late at night with bad roads and crazy drivers. If you know Epe express way, you will understand. This is not ppr but its a breakthrough for me. Now awaiting IELTS tomorrow.

tescom:
Please anyone evaluated his/her transcript from OOU, I need help to fast track the process with WES... Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

My diploma transcript came from OOU
What exactly do you need help with?

Transcript or verification stage?
