Long post alert!!!

This is my story

I started in May 2017 with my ECA which I sent to PEBC, it was supposed to last for 8weeks but it extended beyond that but I was always sending them! mails just to know what was happening, I wrote my first Ielts 19th Aug 2017,my results were poor(7,6,6,7.5...LRWS) which made me depressed and I said I wasn't going to write till December (that was my greatest mistake, I should have tried writing another as soon as possible,undertand what I was not doing right ....rather I was trying to recover from the shock), I started reading all over again for December, I made use of the listening practice questions on YouTube, I printed Cambridge past questions for reading ,both academic and general training, though I practiced more with the academics... I went through ieltsbuddy.com and ieltsliz.com for more tips, the resources shared in the group also, my result came out a bit better except for reading which made me sad(7.5, 5.5, 7,7.5 ....LRWS respectively )....A friend then advised me to write another immediately, I was supposed to register for 6th of Jan but the date was closed, so I opted for 20th with hubby this time.... I had to re-strategize, and look at what I wasn't doing right in my listening and reading.... I realised I needed to take notes/jot of some points while listening becos synonyms are used most times and I could match them afterwards since I won't be able to listen again, this improved my listening, I did at least one listening per day, at times 2-3 and my scores were from 35 and above, so I knew the method worked for me and had to learn to use short hand so that I don't miss the next points,i made sure my concentration was 100% also my answers were in block, for both listening and reading, a friend advised me to get Barron's past questions, my hubby printed alot of it, which I used to practice without exam condition, this was to help me with understanding the true /false/NG questions, also practised my skimming and scanning skills and under exam conditions, that was when I realised my mistakes, I tried to time myself for each of the section spending more time on the last section since its the longest....All I practised was put into action on the exam day and somewhere in my mind I knew I was going to excel God by my side and with all the effort I put , but fear still didn't let me check the result even though I knew I did well , it was hubby that checked and I just thank God for the results, also I tried to encourage myself and look beyond how much I gave to BC, got encouragement from my family and friends (8,8,7,8 )..I got my eca report last week in January... Combination of my Ielts, eca and hubby's Ielts gave me 456 as CRS

Hello everyone, pls how can I contact wes Canada, sent them a mail but they didn't reply. The issue is while filling my wes form I made a mistake of putting unilag as my bsc instead of olabisi onabanjo university and unilag for my masters. My masters transcript has been sent from unilag while my oou has being sent also....but the mistake on the page of the form has not been rectified, its still showing unilag as bsc? Both transcript have been delivered and certificate, is there a need to worry and what can I do? Also on the form its written there that they are waiting for verification from both schools but I hope they contact oou for bsc verification.
