What of if I have a postgraduate diploma from the UK and a degree from Nigeria..... do I evaluate onlu the UK PGD or both ? Thanks
In this case, you'll need to evaluate both in order to receive an evaluation for two or more degrees (points slightly lower than masters tho)

Happy birthday Mamacajah. I pray youll be dancing happily in the snow for your next buyday, if u know what i mean grin

Good morning sirs and ma,
So my wife got her qualifications assessment from IQAS this afternoon and we want to reapply to the pool using her as the P.A. as she has better IELTS scores.
My problem now is her passport is still in her maiden name. Can we go ahead and apply with this passport? We have done a change of name publication in a daily newspaper and have our marriage certificate to show her new name.
Is this okay?
Please proceed sharply into the pool. Some women retain their wedding names all through their marriage and no eyebrows are raised.

Hi bros,
You wont be able to get an accurate reason why you are in ip1 without ordering your gcms notes. Your profile is still fine for now. In this journey, the race is swift for some while it takes a while for others, keep your fingers crosses. May good tidings fall on us all!

So its about a week the mail we all have been waiting for came in, and after all the congratulatory messages and well wishes have come, the reality is gradually setting in... MIGRATING tongue embarassed huh

Never been a fan of travelling. Didnt even have a passport until recently when this ish came up around this year. and it was all speedy darlington till december, ppr just land like dat. First ever application cool.

I guess im in what I call 'Migration Delimma'. Leaving all behind, Moving into the unknown. I have carefully gone through the lively, scary and not so scary points raised in the past 157 pages. No shaking sha- prepare for the worst, hope for the best. shebi una say na ON be where the geeks and IT gugurus are, I'm upbeat about making it there. Whats worse than surviving in the streets of Lagos?

definitely visiting the next IOM session around me, get CISA certified and start putting affairs in order. Spring loading wink

It wont be lonely as much. Bringing the rest of the crew.

I knew not getting a license on time will haunt me one day, choi!! so no driving at night embarassed embarassed

Applications differ from one another but based on my experience, ref letters do not expire. 4 of the 6 ref letters i used (yea had to merge alot to get the 3yrs max) were gotten since 2014 and i did not get any ADR. However i got them all after i had left the companies.
Yeah i believe so but getting it while working at the same company will say something like 2014 to date, which i believe shouldn't be used for claiming experience later on after he/she has left the company. the circumstances surrounding the date of the reference letter will have changed.

Guitarlife:
Brother are you certain work reference letter expires ? I should think these are historic documents.
Anybody wanna weigh in on this ?
i just rechecked cic but it was not stated there. However having an ancient reference letter may raise adr's like payslips or statements showing salary payment etc. its tidier having almost up to date documents available.
Apologies

Congratulations @threadstone!

Never knew one could get employer reference pre-ITA, won't the date raise questions?
I was very sure of snagging ita in the next round so i got all docs handy (ita/pcc). As long as its within the timeframe of 3-6 months within submission, it shouldnt raise an eyebrow.

Dear Family, I need your help ooo . . .

Firstly, I'm about leaving Nigeria for USA for a masters degree but I am very defiant to start my EE process. School resumes in Jan 3rd 2018, and I would leave before Dec 24th. Currently, my BSc school has dispatched my transcripts for evaluation. I couldnt do the IELTS in Nigeria because the earliest date is Jan 3rd or so . . . So I have to take the IELTS in USA.

Also, I am currently employed but will be resigning next week.

My question is this . . .

1. Is it advisable I procure my work reference letter now from my employers before I resign, so I can have it handy when submitting the application from the USA? Yes, its possible to get the employment letter even after I've resigned but I know I can speed things up and ensure there are no mistakes while i'm still in Nigeria, however, i'm worried that the date on the letter may be an issue for IRCC. Assuming I get ITA in Feb/Mar 2018, will my work reference letter dated Dec 2017 be a problem?

2. Since I will be leaving in the next two weeks, I have to get my PCC from Nigeria now. Will the date issue mentioned in (1) above also be a problem here?

3. How long does it take to get the PCC in Lagos and what are the steps to take?


Thank you all very much while anticipating your kind responses.
The question is are you sure youre going to get an ITA within the next six months? What is your current crs estimate as you dont have ielts yet.
1 & 2 is possible to get but they have a time limit which shouldnt be more than three to six months to the day of submission else you'd have to procure another.

As for the pcc, you can get it in an hour or less. Officer Moshood has done Enough wonders for people in this thread.

Without sade further ado, i wish you good luck in your masters program. When you finish you can cross over to canada without visiting Nigeria sef.

Chill. Express entry can wait grin

Thank you.
