Good day Great minds, Please is there anyone in the house who have successfully ordered UK PCC in the past using and got it delivered to his or her address here in Nigeria? Thanks
Terrible experience. Till date as I type, I'm yet to receive what was posted to Nigeria since late last year. I eventually had to pay extra to have a new one sent to an address in the UK. embarassed

Maybe cos I didn't do courier in my case

Good afternoon house,

All contributions are welcomed. Thanks all.
The way you typed here, if you spoke to me that way with conviction and more documentation to prove your case, I will believe you. Alas I'm not a visa worker in Accra but God will go before you.

Don't be scared, get all your documents in tow. The employment letter especially and anything else you can lay your hands on. Be prepared to answer questions about the job itself and your past role. If any other issue was flagged, be prepared to defend your application.

Be very confident too while you speak. No fidgeting or avoiding eye contact. Prayerfully prepare for your interview. They are mere men after all. The truth will set you free.

Then come back and testify here with your PPR...

Good luck

Please good people I need your help.

I just checked my ielts results and I got 8.5,9,7,8 for LRWS.

Should I request for a re-mark especially with regards to the writing?

My CRS estimate sits at 431. I don't have a masters and I have a spouse that will come with me.

I have four years experience.

Your sincere suggestion please.
Congrats on your result. It is very good.[s] Has your wife done IELTS? Did she evaluate her educational qualification/qualifications? Have you guys explored what she can contribute to your overall score? Stimulate your intended ielts score using the CRS tool and see how far that would take you. Then do the same for your spouse if she does WES or IELTS and therein lies your answer. Also consider the time both actions would take. [/s]

Noticed your response that your wife has done ielts and all. Can she retake it and hopefully score just as good as you. She could actually be the principal applicant. How many years of work experience does she have. Just sha stimulate CRS scores in her case and consider that.

Good luck with whatever decision you make.

Big big congratulations. The timeline is amazing.

@Luce, i evaluated with WES. I don't recall any stage like "we are authenticating your report" stage. My report came on the day they said it would be complete and only then did i jump into the pool.

Some people are lucky to have theirs come out a day (this is what most people say) before the due date.

I've not heard of reports coming out 2/3 days before due date but it is not impossible. But more than anything else, I would say be patient. It is better to wait another week or so until your turn comes than than to jump in with a wrong reference or a forged one.

Good morning everyone. Please I am still waiting for a reply. Please help.
I wanted to respond to this on the day you posted your question but i got carried away. In my case, I had 2 important documents done in black and white. One of them stressed the living day light out of me with countless back and forth emails and endless calls. By the time I got it, I was too grateful to even argue that I would have preferred it in coloured. I just collected it with thanksgiving in my heart.

Unless someone decides to print in coloured for you, there is not much you can do. You cannot do much about someone not having an official email or website for their business neither can you do much about someone who doesn't have a business card. Unless you want to print out business cards for him or open website for him. cheesy

The key here is to present a convincing case. How do you convince someone you worked in a hospital which was located in a village? Please look at the links below for more ideas on how to present an iron clad case where an employment reference letter is not as CIC has specified. Tie it all up with an LOE and i'm sure you'll be fine.

Hi olufemi,
First,fax is free search this thread for details and Wes fax number..
Secondly,you MA think am.. You are not supposed to send the transcript your self normally.. Now you are.. Circumstance and all.. You now want to raise suspicion?? If you wanted sending together you should have told your school to include copy of your cert in the envelope before sealing..
I don't get it oh. WES categorically made provision for sending transcript yourself as long its in an envelope and its sealed with a stamp across.
@olufemi2211 please go and read WES FAQ for confirmation.

You are not doing anything shady by sending both documents in say a DHL envelope. Just dont open the transcript envelope please. Make a copy of your certicate abi statement of result and slot in the DHL envelope. Write your WES reference number clearly on the envelope or in a plain paper inside.

If you like, you can still fax the same certificate to WES as desmama has pointed out. It will be received before your DHL arrives sef.

Congrats ppr18. Speedy timeline

Congrats. What a speedy application.
Thank you for the hint on spam mails.

Another important thing you touched on was the need to study documents before collecting them.
Post ITA guys please pay attention to medical print out, Nigerian PCC and other documents. Names and passport number on these documents - I can't shout.

They had to redo ours due to errors. Good thing they always reminded one to check properly before leaving the premises. So don't be too much in a hurry. Check well

My husband's result :
LRWS 8.5,7,6.5,7

He is saying he can't rewrite the exam ooo

That he wants to remark.
I am just pissed by the result.

The annoying thing is that while he was preparing, he didnt allow me coach him neither did he accept my advice of using ieltsliz or jay or whatsoever.

Do you think the remark will be favourable?
Only him can answer that question with total conviction. Other things to consider? Who did he write with? BC or MOD? The timeframe of 12 weeks versus a week or so of remark comes in here. Cost implications etc
Who is the principal applicant? His score is actually fair for an accompanying spouse. All this should help you decide.

Please take it easy. Anger will only bring about tension. All the best

QSola:
I need help in these areas
1. When asked to upload passport and stamps, should i upload the stamps and visas on my previously expired passport

2. For gift deed, must i include the donor's receipt for the transaction, the one my donor gave me wasnt signed and stamped and he printed this month SOA which is about 10 pages, can i just detach the page where the transfer was made and upload that alone even though it wasnt signed. Thanks

CC everybody
Good morning. I think you need to go page 0 and click the all about gift deed link.
Truth is that there is no hard and fast rule to it. Even that link itself didn't preach one method fits all for everyone. You just have to read up on what various folks did and make peace with how you want to do yours.

In my case, I took a sample gift deed from this same nairaland. Both parties signed, witness signed and I went to notarize at the high court. FULLSTOP! I didn't include statements or anything.

Maybe someone who used deed gift and has ppr can join mouth too

Thanks. I can't even think of writing this exam again. I am really tired.
Chin up Rose and expect the best from your remark.

PS: What's with the 6.5 with MOD IDP writing?

@teecann, another reason to be thankful for not locking up your last BC score via EOR route but choosing to see if CRS scores drop. Good decision you made.

I'm forced to believe someting is going on with the way Nigerian ielts results are marked. How can one explain very decent results across bands with writing being pegged at 6.5? It is just annoying

I know, but they rarely talk there.
They have gone through the journey, seen it all, done it and living their lives in their new environment. What is there to keep talking about other than answering the little questions they get every now and then?

That thread is amazing in itself. If one starts reading from page 0, bookmarking or taking notes, that person would have done themselves a lot of good. I'm talking pre ITA and most importantly post ITA folks who have submitted. Its far better to start now than waiting till you clench PPA before running around.

DboyizGood:
For all of us considering ACCA F1-F3 pls go ahead.

This proof you see here is for F2 and F3 as exemption was claimed for F1. So if your degree permits you to claim exemption, pls claim for F1 only bcs if you claim for more than that, you will not get a positive evaluation but if your degree does not qualify you for exemption do F1-F3. 6 months intensive can make this happen for you.

Oya make una go read una book. The exam is not as easy as it sounds oo but it's very doable. This one sure pass TEF or any other degree program o.

See ECA screen grab below

Gracias
I wish this can be put on page 0 so we can just be directing people straight there. ACCA F1-F3 questions can be too much sometimes

Hello. A quick question for people post ITA
When uploading digital passport unto the place card provided, does one need to scan and upload the stamp at the back or just the passport photo itself.
I'm a bit confused. Or do i just merge the front and the stamped back and scan together in JPEG format?
