Thanks jare crs with 8777 = 444 now with this result, it is now 390 chai!! shocked
I understand you fully and how you feel...

My initial score was similar to yours before I re-sat the exam for a better score and by extension better CRS.

In my case, I even had a detour to the PNP path before returning back to the FSW. You can imagine the time that had been wasted in the course of that alone. Just dont give up the dream, take it in easy steps and you will achieve your #CanadianDestination ultimately!

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?
Madam, this is not a bad score by any stretch of the imagination ooo!

Abeg, don't be pissed with oga o. You both need each other to encourage each other on in this journey of patience. It's a marathon, Trust me, I know what I'm saying.

You are lucky he even accepted to register and write the test. You need to read several reports here of wifeys who will give arm, leg and do vigils grin to convince their dear husbands (DH) to sit for IELTS or evaluate their credentials in order to boost CRS. These men are scared of leaving their sweet pay and certainty and jump on a ride into uncertainty.

"8777" IELTS maxing out is not the minimum, people strive for that golden score nowadays in order to boost CRS in this era of high-end draw cutoffs. If other factors such as a Msc, age, french test, sibling in canada etc are in place, an averagely good IELTS score will just be OK to do the CRS magic.

Result finally came in, not good. sad

LRWS- 8,7.5,6.5,8

Should i ask for a remark or re-write. Please advice
If you can afford the time, remark (12 weeks minimum )

If you can afford the dough, in addition to the remarking, book another test.

From your scores above, it's obvious that you have an above average competency level. So it's going to be a win-win for you- if lucky, your remarking (EOR) may yield a 7 for your writing whilst at the same time, you obviously have the capacity to do better at another sitting...See, it's a win-win (if you have the resources)

By the way (BTW), what's your current CRS with the above score?
What will it be if you have a 7 instead of the 6.5 in writing?
Is the above score your first attempt?

The issue is not with those who can't speak English fluently.
The problem is the markers of the IELTS writing in Nigeria.
Please let's not mention a 'race' here.
Aig842:
Can we please slow down with this IELTS in Nigeria thing? You may want to put things in proper context before making general statements. Some Indians have Hindi as their primary language which makes them non-native English speakers, in the same vein some Indians have English as their primary language thus making them native speakers.

I want to believe your their are different marking schemes for both native and non-native English speakers.

Are BC and IDP examiners and markers in Nigeria deliberately sabotaging the efforts of candidates? I don't know
Are BC and IDP in Nigeria treating IELTS as a cash cow? Maybe

Let's just take it easy with the general statements.

maternal: Alberta without a doubt. If I knew what I know now (I sound old) I would have never step foot in Ontario. I always tell newcomers to come to Alberta. The opportunities here is unbelievable. To answer your question, if you plan to be a geologist, Alberta is obviously the place to be with the oil being here. I currently work in the oilfields along with many Nigerians. My guy is actually a geologist. Though I don't know how to get certified. I would suggest to do the certification here (in Canada). Nothing done in naija would be trusted.

One last advice to newcomers. Chase stability and prosperity, NOT the name of a fancy degree. People here don't care about your status or what fancy degree you have. I work with literally small boys (mid 20's) with just a high school diploma, along with some professional courses, and years of experience making 100-250k per year. If you have a relevant trade, you'd be worshiped here. Whereas, I know people with fancy degrees but are unemployed or under-employed. My point is do what makes sense, not what you think others think of you.
TheCongo2:
My sister and her family have relocated to Alberta from Ontario. She has been saying the exact same words you have posted.
For an accountant/finance person, will this Alberta choice over Ontario still holds sway??

Because we have heard it so often here- Ontario is generally expensive in cost of living whilst Alberta is way better off.


Will it be true for an accountant to relate to this is the same light as a geologist or petroleum engineer in Alberta especially as in concerns getting multiple opportunities for finance jobs?

This trend of W6.5 is really disturbing angry.

You see the Indians that can barely construct a good sentence devoid of spelling, tenses and/or grammatical errors hitting 7's and 8's in their writing and speaking. "I gave IELTS test last week..." instead of "I wrote/sat for IELTS test last week...", yet they do so well. I'm not hating though.

Could it be that test location is a key determinant to marking scheme? Could it have been a calculated effort at frustrating some people out of the EE scheme (I'd doubt this though)? Could it be some sort of revenue "maximizing" strategy by the examiners (this is Nigeria where such things aren't alien to us anymore)? How come everyone falls just below the 7.0 mark? huh huh huh

ArabianRose, cuteyangel and all the others affected by this, please set your eyes on the destination. The end will surely justify the means, if you do not give up. Remember, its #destinationCanada
Well said my friend @mcstan18

So true for the bolded above!! I'm in the same international whatsapp groups with these guys and I'm like "how do these people scale IELTS with these types of constructs?"

Obviously, they are marked more leniently than us in Naija.

I can't forget one day that I replied to a message on one of the whatsapp groups that I'm following and the Indian guys there began to pass humorous comments like "why am I reproducing IELTS reading passage for them...that my chat read like a passage from IELTS Reading test" grin

Can you imagine?? Common day to day vocabulary usage in Naija amongst secondary school students oooo....see me see wahala....and above all that, they are the ones declaring stellar results on LIZIELTS blog....it's just so unfortunate!!

IELTS- IDP (MAY 25, 2018)

L- 8

R- 8

S- 7

W- 6.5
sad angry huh


IDP, like seriously??

I am beginning to believe folks' opinions about the possible lack of total honesty of test organizers in Nigeria. I verily suspect it is fast becoming a big ticket business for these guys- BC & IDP and they are not ready to let poor us off the hook any time soon!! It is just so unfortunate on multiple grounds! Can you imagine after paying 68k for the test, only to dole out 15k/45k for re-marking again?? These people should fear God oooo!!!

I feel the pains of all my people here who got great scores in listening, reading and speaking only to be disappointed with the writing test...Honestly, there's something fishy here.
How do you want to explain it that someone got 9, 8.5, 8/7.5 in L, R and S...and now that same brain got a 6.5 in writing? It doesn't make sense!

It will get to a stage we will proceed to Benin or Ghana to write IELTS so as to get objective marking...at least, over there, let's hope they are not yet infested with everything wrong with our "system" here. I'm so upset...I read all the great scores in the previous pages...those scores were supposed to be great ITA CLINCHING SCORES now marred by dubiously marked writing test.

IDP may have tainted my "rep" with a 6.5 for whatever it's worth (Never happened before, BC wont even try it...we are talking about "writing" here oooo grin) but hey, you cares? God has done it already! grin


All the same, It still ended in praise grin grin

NB: Guys, lets keep the hope high, it will happen soon! (We may have to open a public petition against the grading of the test by IDP in Nigeria and get the petition across to IDP Australia for necessary action)

I thank God first of all for this journey thus far, it all started late 2016 during my annual leave. The leave afforded me the time to think deeply about my life and future and that of my young family in this country and I concluded I have to move if for nothing but for the sake of my kids.

I started out with the Canadian Study route (all the while thinking that the Express entry route was a long thing and difficult to achieve) God bless friends that I spoke with who encouraged me to give FSW a try. (To know that the 3 schools that I applied to rejected my applications...Don't let us even talk about what I have spent hustling that route....God would have been looking at me and be like "yinmu" grin grin)

I and wifey wrote our first IELTS with almost similar scores...but the accuser struck again (he can only delay the glory, he cant kill the shine grin)- I got bad advice that I shouldn't waste money re-writing IELTS, that I should just pack into a PNP and coast to nomination for an eventual sure ITA- I did (Dont let me even talk of how much I have spent [and obviously wasted] on this PNP hustle too grin) Oct 2017, I submitted an application to SINP. No nomination, little did I know that I was setting myself up for frustration and delay...unendinig test of patience for months...(You guys here on FSW can never understand what folks on the PNP go through just to get the same ITA that we celebrate here on a regular) grin...Here, many are even yet to understand the acronym- MEP- and before you say Jack Robi...., its PPR for them! grin
Frustration and lack of movement on the PNP application made me resit the IELTS and here we are!!

My first EE profile of October 20th, 2017 became ineligible on the April 30, 2018 grin, I missed ITA of May 9, 2018 by the tie breaking rule(because my mint profile of May 1, 2018 didn't qualify- painful)


But all that end well is that that end in praise! grin grin


NB: Too many friends to start mentioning you one by one...I thank you all for your encouragement, support and faith keeping..we all came through on this! grin.

Really?
Are you saying I could ask WES to evaluate any of my transcripts and send to a university in Canada or US, and the school accepts it?

Pls any idea of the cost?
Some schools accept it whilst most will still demand that you send the original transcript directly from the naija institution.

Be that as it may, there are several professional bodies and governmental agencies that will take your evaluated credentials from WES without having to go to collect a fresh transcript from your naija school.

Don't get confused, please, take time to read first...I can't imagine a short cut to this "ish" (I wish there is for the newbies), you just have to read about alot of things in this journey.

I'm one of your fans naaa... grin grin
on a lighter note, let's try not to reinvent the wheel wink wink...
Lemme borrow your phrase...It will end for all of us in praise!
Thanks my good friend @revealhidden

As it is a weekend now, let me put some info out as we are all learning.

Contrary to your view, there's no case of trying to reinvent the wheel here.

Only if we can get curious to know why some things are done they way they re done, then we will all agree that, though people take different routes, they still come to the same destination one way or the other. grin

The popular info here on the Canadian EE thread is to evaluate your highest credential to earn the points needed, right? If you have Masters, B.Sc, NCE, etc, just evaluate your masters and get moving. I'm sure the advice came on the strength of the wahala that people were going through to collect their transcripts and all...and in any case, it is just the Masters that you will need to evaluate to get the needed Canadian Equivalency to earn your EE points.

Ok, that being said, if you eventually have time on your hands and can get all your B.sc, M.Sc, NCE transcripts thrown into the WES evaluation "cookinig pot", it will still all be evaluated one by one and come cooked as overall Masters degree Canadian Equivalency, see? Same thing with the guy that threw in only his Masters degree for evaluation.

In my case, I have envisaged that I'll be needing my transcripts for some pursuits later on in Canny, so what did I do? I simply "pre-loaded" all my transcripts for evaluation to WES- B.Sc, M.Sc, Diploma- all for the price of one degree (I used WES as my transcript warehouse grin). My WES ECA still came back as "OVERALL CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY- MASTERS DEGREE", See?

Why did I do that? I'm not coming back to Nigeria to chase any transcript for that my future "envisaged need" or be calling one Bayo upandan to help me go to Exams and Records Unit to check whether my transcript is out grin I'll simply instruct WES to evaluate which of my transcript that I need, on a course by course basis and deliver to the appropriate agency, with minimal headache! grin I have just used "one stone to kill two birds"

So, you relate now when I said, you know the reason but you must have forgotten! grin

I appreciate your candour and opportunity to discuss this for others to learn and make their decisions.

If I'm wrong, I welcome opposing views, we are all learning! (It was on this thread that I eventually learnt how to withdraw a degree from the bouquet of degrees already named to WES for evaluation but where it is becoming difficult to get the transcript across(and you need the evaluation process to continue and the withdrawn degree has no impact on the overall evaluation)...to imagine the stress I went through searching for this same info earlier for a friend which we didn't get grin...On this hustle, no one can know it all, we are still learning every day)

Well, it all depends on you. For mine, I evaluated my MSc certificate only and that is what I included under the study section pre-ITA. I included my BSc details under the personal history section post-ITA.

You can also include the details for both certificates pre-ITA. You will choose "YES" if you've evaluated your BSc certificate and vice versa. I decided to do mine like that because I love simplicity. smiley

Note: For those who wanna claim points for two or more certificates, they will have to include the details for both certificates pre-ITA.
Whilst creating my profile, I simply chose Masters degree qualification (which is the M.Sc) from the drop-down although, I WES-evaluated my B.Sc and M.Sc which came back with an overall Canadian equivalency of a Masters Degree.

Do you sense any lack of simplicity in the above scenario? (as I love simplicity too and I can't wait to use your model to submit my application post-ITA grin)

I intend to upload that WES report to claim point for the Masters degree and anywhere else upload my B.Sc and ICAN certs to back my NOC? (Though I'm aware that in FSW, it's not compulsory that credentials must match NOC)

This journey started in September/November 2016 when a colleague who had relocated told us about the canadian express entry.
My husband and I took IELTS in January 2017 and aced it.
At the time,i had 2 or more certificates and so I was to be the PA.
Then the Wes nightmare began.i was on wes evaluation for my ABU BSc degree for close to 5 months.
At the peak of kidnappings on kaduna road,my husband and I will enter our car with our hearts in our mouths and drive to and from zaria just to sort out the verification.If we perish ,we perish!lol.we made that journey twice in 2 months.This was when crs went as low as 413.i was on 422 and we missed ITA three times. We finally got in touch with the head of customer service Mr robert Hunter who finally sorted my issue out.
Crs never came down again to 422. I was so depressed.certifiably depressed o
But then....my husband rounded up his masters in October 2017 and we stood at 445 with him as applicant.we left Wes alone jejely and went with Ices .
Verification came in February 2018 and we got into the pool and got ITA a few days later.
Timeline:
AOR: APRIL 4
MED PASSED: APRIL 12
IP1: APRIL 12
IP2/PPR MAY 18

Called CIC to try to find out visa office but after 2 failed attempts,i just left it jare.so I don't know the visa office that processed our PPR.

I had a Uk visa refusal but with subsequent UK and US visas and travel history.I didnt have the refusal letter as it was about 12 years ago.So,i just explained it and filled schedule A form.My husband had UK and US travel history.
I'm just so grateful for this forum!
God bless you all
WAWAWUUU!!! (In caps)

Most often, we don't have an idea what people go through in preparation and readiness for plunging into the pool or to clinch this coverted ITA....in order to kickstart their PR application proper!

It's easy for some, whilst you'll cringe at the stories of others.

HOWEVER...

All is well that eventually ends in praise.

You are on the right track. You will include your spouse work experience under the personal history section when you get an Invitation to Apply. Same for your BSc information.
GS, I don't really get this.

Are you saying that post-ITA, he can review his profile details and move the B.Sc to personal history/spouse's work experience to personal history? [Is that on the premise that he didn't evaluate his B.Sc with his masters degree?]

I'm clear on that of the spouse's work experience being moved to personal history to avoid CIC requesting for employer's reference letter for the spouse (which you didn't earn any point for anyways).

Is it possible as one has evaluated ones B.Sc plus the M.Sc (Evaluated overall as a Canadian equivalent of a Masters) to submit both the B.Sc & M.Sc certs under study history?

Lol...thanks. Significant savings it seems. Who is the official you used, anybody or office in particular? Did you pay to the officer's account or a designated bank?
You will make payment on www.immigration.gov.ng (with your mastercard or visa) and print out your payment acknowledgement slip. [every info is straightforward on that website]

Curiosity and lack of enough cash at the time drove me to testing the immigration online procedure and I was pleasantly surprised that it worked out and happy I made that savings then...Just like the Express entry PR process, some will darn the stress, read up and do it themselves, whilst saving tons of money thereby, many will still use the services of an agent and pay through their nostrils for it...It is the same thing for this passport issuance stuff. Patience and time to understand and work the process to get out what one desire. grin grin

Are you in Lagos?

I paid only 5K to process/fast track my toddlers owns in January @ Ikoyi's.

How I did it.

I did most of the preliminary process myself. I logged on the passport office website, filled all the forms, made all the payments with my card (10,750). I printed out all the forms, bought the brown jacket file, make sure you print all forms including the one for parents/guardian.

Go with the fathers own international passport plus either drivers license /voters card/national ID care , passport picture of both father and baby. Also go with a letter of consent from the father , permitting to process international passport for the baby.

Don't answer all those Agbero's. Act as if you have an agent inside.

Go into the passport complex, go to room 4 with your file for signing,and let your begging begin. Make sure you go with your baby.

Beg the officers that you don't have an agent, and you don't have money. Appeal to them that you have done all the preliminary stage and that they should just help you with the signing and fast tracking.

I got favoured and my baby was able to do his capturing that day, I came back by day 3 for his passport. I have a contact detail I can send to you if you want.
I did exactly this for my children's passport renewal.

Log in to www.immigration.gov.ng/standard-passport/ (That's for the standard 32 pages passport)

I paid the official N10,750 (x 2) and printed the payment confirmation slip, photocopied their expired passport and called my contact person in Ikoyi Immigration Office and opened up to him that I didn't have much, that's why I'm going this route and that I needed his influence to help me expedite their capturing. He obliged me and 2 days later, they did their capturing. I thanked him with some cash, he refused but I insisted...he eventually collected.

Less than 2 weeks later, their passports were ready for collection.

What I would have coughed out about 70k for, I did with just about 25k and the stress (which was worth it given what I saved grin)


It will all end in praise IJN!
