So, I heard the most bizarre post-PPR rejection story this week.

Someone who works in a bank applied for himself and family and instead of using his bank job as work experience, he stated that he was self-employed and proceeded to apply with docs to show that he is a self-employed consultant or something like that. Everything was moving smoothly, he got PPR and then the worst happened when his and dependent's passports was returned by VFS without COPR or visa. Next, he got a notice of rejection. Apparently, they found out about his bank job and that he lied about the fact that he was still employed by the bank. Reason he gave for not using his bank job to claim points was that he didn't want to ask his HR for letter. He actually has a side hustle that pays but he wanted to use that rather than use his job to claim points.

So guys, for some of us who are always reluctant to ask for reference letters because of the preconceived notion that our employers might either not agree to sign or become hostile once they learn of our plans, please be warned. There is no harm in trying. Always play on the side of caution. I can't even begin to imagine if this guy has gone ahead to announce PPR to friends and family or even bought flight tickets etc.

Stay woke guys. Stay woke.

Damn!

My first IELTS was September, 2017. Speaking was fine but on the day of LRW, my village people sat by the bonfire and stirred the pot well. Guess what? I woke up 10am! I did not bother to go again, just went online to book another date in december. Till today, I still wonder how I didn't hear my alarm ring. But petty IELTS had the guts to courier my result to me ..average of 2.0 smh! lol

Hello House,


Please we need advice. My wife is the PA , we both have our ielts done. Her School has sent her diploma, degree and their transcripts to WES and they have confirmed receipt of the documents, they then sent a mail(verificaton mail) to her school since mid july, but then the school's email was down for a month, the school has problems with receiving hard copy. But the schools email came back up Mid August and since we didnt want to wait 7 weeks before WES resends another mail ( School has checked the emails but have not received any mail from WES), we called WES and they sent a personal mail to my wife , saying we should not get involved because it is between WES and the School(OSU). The 7 weeks has passed and we are now in the 8th week , still no mail from WES. Please what can we do? Any advice?

I had the same problem. What I did was to bombard their customer care on their Facebook page and sent an email through their contact page on the website. You need to send a strongly worded email but of course nice to emphasize that they need to resend the verification request. Dont leave it to chance o.
WES can be very slow and of course there is the Nigerian factor, it took two months for me to get past the verification stage. Once they resend it, call Mrs Kaka straight away to reply

Hi Everyone, Please can someone in the house provide me with a solid contact for passport renewal in Lagos. Thanks.

I have a guy at Ikoyi..send a PM please

When we give answers to others let's understand that they are not in the same level of understanding with us, thus we should give them guidance that will help them in the maximum way.
Let's also understand the question properly before we throw a generic answer without considering the peculiarity of the question at hand.
The question was simply centered on the possibility of sending the transcript he obtained for for his/her master he had with him? And you advise such person to go ahead.
Is is possible to obtain transcript for a Masters program, collected it by hand and kept it with you and end up not opening it? Your guess is as good as mine.
Years ago, after graduation from school, I immediately requested for my transcript with the sole am of keeping it with me to at least have my grades scores officially with me, on the day of dispatch, my school insisted that it must be addressed to an institution (school, organization etc). So, I had to opt for a neighboring school address before I could collect it by hand after much plea. Since then, I had requested for transcript more than five times for different purposes. Why didn't I send the one addressed to the neigbouring school I have with me?
It is obvious that it's not correct and not official as how do you send document addressed to Jumia to Konga?
How much more when WES have its unique requirements that it is on their website. So this is what informed my advice, as I placed myself in his position having been there before. That was why I also referred him to WES website, because after seeing those requirements, he/she will be be well informed on what exactly to do.
Again, let's not be quick to attack people's position as we are all here trying to help each other with love. As I won't gain anything misleading anyone.
Nice day!

I also mentioned that he needs to ensure it is addressed to WES so I guess we are on the same page afterall

Owlette:
Yes you can. As long it is sealed and stamped by your institution. If the seal has been tampered with, you should get your institution to send directly to wes.

I would advise u start with WES. Incase of unforseen
Circumstances. I've been awaiting verification from my institution since February so u can imagine.

Damn, which university?

abdulahi001:
Good day seniors, Please can I DHL my transcripts to WES myself as I have the transcripts with me, got them when I applied for masters.

Also, which is the most advised to first clear with, WES or IELTS?

Remember your transcripts for this process must be addressed to WES from the school and not your student copy. Be careful to use the school's address too when you are sending it via DHL not your own address

efueh:


No No is the answer for me whether you had opened it or not, as transcript is strictly to be sent by your school to WES, to avoid stories of rejecting your documents by WES. Go and read more on this on WES website and be rightly informed.

For your second question, please visit page one and you will be well equipped on that and more. Enjoy!

Very wrong!!!
I sent my transcript myself and it was accepted.
This forum is designed to give help and make things easier for people. Don't pass wrong information please

CPEThorpe:
Please can someone help me understand WES processing better.
After my school replied the verification mail, my status got updated from "on hold" to "in progress" (We have received your documents. We are reviewing your documents. We are evaluating your documents. You do not need to do anything at this time) on the 28/8/2018. However, by the following day the date of 'status last updated' changed to 29/8/2018 and this continued up till yesterday when the date also changed to 31/8/2018.
I am tired seeing changing 'status last updated' without any change in status.

What I was expecting Was The estimated date of my ECA report but I am seeing nothing of such nature. Please is that the procedure? If it is, when will I get the estimated date. I am tired of waiting for WES o.

Just be patient, mine took almost two weeks before I got my completion date. I had to send messages on Facebook before they finally responded and updated my status

Zutlin:


Writing IELTS first is not really the appropriate starting point. Reason being that it is valid for only 2 years. Getting your ECA done is a much better starting point because this has a validity of 5 years.

I believe you already know your estimated CRS score by using the CRS calculator on CIC website. This is the absolute first step as it lets you know your eligibility and your likelihood of getting an ITA.

IELTS for express entry is GENERAL.

You can do BOTH at the same time. There is no hard and fast rules about which comes first

LolaAkins:
Good Morning House. I am a registered Nurse with RM and RPHN. I also have a bachelor degree in nursing(BNSc). Should I use WES or IQAS for my evaluation? Which of these will give me the maximum score? Thanks

IQAS
You are going to have more questions so its best for you to start from page 1.

bigdeoye:
IT IS WELL:: I have never seen a test that can make a man over humble like IELTS.

Thank you all once again for the supports.

Congrats! I took look forward to declaring victory over ielts

o2:
I just thought to say anyone who wants to start the express entry process should start with ECA first and should not do ielts until their ECA is ready or almmost ready. I see a lot of peple registering for ielts first and i shake my head. I did my ECA in 2015 and ielts in 2016, by the time i got eligible to get ITA, My ielts expired just before the next ITA and i had to redo it but my ECA didnt expire.

Let ECA be the first thing you do before ielts.

There is no one size fits all though...many have done Ielts first and still got their ECA done in time for an ITA

joo2018:
Hi @Sthill5. Can you pls confirm that with a link.
I actually searched for it, but couldn't find where Ontario immigration expatiated on "family ties" even in their application guides.


Under OINP EE, Ontario also has social connections or personal relationships under "Intention to reside in Ontario". Check the application guide pdf in this link: http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNP_EE_CAPITAL.html
However, I think as in all things Canada, you must be able to demonstrate with verifiable evidence a genuine relationship/interaction with him.

Ok im not sure about Ontario nomination

Opsyola:
Hello family.
Can my dad's cousin qualify as my family ties in Ontario

No, it must be a sibling or that of a spouse

mimimum:
Thanks a lot. They are readily available. One look at his social media accounts will show enough pix sef.
I am just worried about not having complete documentation. Do you have any info on the recent CAC registration and inability to show tax payment will be a problem? Can anyone help please?

Registration of a business shouldn't take long. Mine took a week and i used a lawyer.
I can give you his contact if you want. Its faster that way in my opinion

ans123:
My WES report is due ready today. Since its a holiday, it may not come out I think . Anyone in same situation?

Its not a holiday in Canada

joo2018:
Sometimes it takes a week. Their response is terrible.

If it doesn't change after 3 business days, send a messsge to their Facebook page, they reply fast there. my status only changed after i informed them that it was received and signed for after tracking it.

WhizzyG:
Hi guys,

please how did WES confirm reception of documents sent?

My WAEC Transcript was delivered since friday. No email or update on my account yet.

Or does it take a while to reflect?

awaiting your responses. Thanks

It takes about 2-3 working days to acknowledge.

Osaze007:
I just want to thank God for journey mercies cause I could have been Landing in Lagos today But God said no Toronto

Wishing you the best

iaatmguy:
think you should fast track your divorce documents or better still apply as a single/never married. IMO

This is a very BAD advice

Good day everyone,

On behalf of a friend, please which option should one choose on WES website to evaluate CIPM?

It's PPR my wonderful e-family!
