Wishing you all prosperous 2018 in advance!

I've been married (traditional marriage) for 9 years with 3 children. However, my wife and I just decided to go to the registry for legality a few months back. I'd like to know if the recent status of the marriage certificate can in anyway count against us during documentation for Canadian PR considering that we've actually been married for long and the certificate is just 2 months old.

It doesn't have effect because that is what IRCC recognize and you are good to go.

This is a long write up but it is very good to read for people who always compare Nigeria to the western countries

The problem with Nigeria is our mentality. An average Nigerian is all about money, money, houses, SUV etc and this is why this question is always coming up. Because of our greed and our ability to acquire, acquire and acquire, our society have been built on storing money, properties. It is not surprising to see Nigerians in Nigeria with fat bank account, many houses with high fence and big gate, high SUV yet the street they live is littered with bad roads and full of generator noise because that is what we care about.

The western world is different because they are not built for people to store money. Their system is designed for money to circulate. This is why even services we pay peanuts for here is Nigeria is costly abroad. Everyone is given the opportunity to live a base life and if you want to be rich you can use your brain and do something extraordinary. For example, a barber, cleaner, nanny etc in the western world has the opportunity to live a normal life. He can save a little money, make a little down payment and buy a house or car on mortgage despite being just a barber. He gets to enjoy his tokunbo car and 2 bedroom apartment even though he is paying for it in the next 10 years. Even if he dies before he finish paying, he cannot say that he didn’t enjoy the basic things of life. Enjoying the basic things of life is not left for the rich alone.
In Nigeria, some people can never enjoy the basic things of life forever. For example, a cleaner, nanny etc can never buy a car because Nigeria is designed for the rich to exploit the poor and there is no buffer to help the poor.

A top bank manager earning more than 1 million naira a month cannot bring out 50k to pay a Nanny or gateman. Instead he will go and bring one Ekaite from the village whom he will exploit as slave. Ekaite will do all the jobs in the house and will not even go to school for the first 3 years. After 3 years, they will now send her to a local school where children sit on the floor even though their own children are going to posh schools. During Christmas, they give Ekaite’s family a bag of rice and 20k and the family is happy due to poverty. But this same man store millions of naira in his account and building lots of houses yet his gateman is just paid 10k a month. In the western world, the bank manager will have over 60% of his earnings go into the payment of other services. That means he will pay the Nanny, guards, gardeners, cleaners, barber etc that works for him an hourly minimum wage. So he has little money to save and build mansions here and there but the good thing is that the people in the lower cadre live a normal life off him and the money circulates.

The Nigerian society is built for exploitation unlike the western world. The greatest disservice to poor man in Nigeria is that they are not paid hourly. The rich man/organizations takes all their time and pay them pea nut at the end of the month but a poor man aboard can work 24 hours and be paid for those 24 hours if he has the strength.

So before you travel, you need to understand how the western society works and what exactly you want. If your aim is to make millions and become rich, build houses here and there, the western society is not for you, you can become rich easier in Nigeria. It is only in Nigeria, you can become rich overnight.
You can go to china, import some substandard goods into the country, bribe SON and customs and sell your goods and make mega millions in a jiffy and build your mansions here and there. If you run a business, you can avoid paying taxes, just tip the FIRS and they would look the other way and you take those taxes you should have paid and build mansions for yourself, you are rich! The FIRS,Custom, SON guys make mega money and build their own mansions, you make your own mega money too, the ordinary people and the government are shortchanged but the govt is not bothered because they loot their own from crude oil directly. In fact, Nigeria is a goldmine if you have the mind and can throw away your conscience. Dem no born you well to not pay your taxes in the western world or do anyhow in the western world.

If you work in many organizations, you may not have to touch your salary because you will be getting illegal cash every day. For example, if you work in immigration, you will be getting 3k, 4k from people who want to get their passport else they may have to wait for one year to get it. If you work in universities, you will be getting extra 3k, 4k, 2k from people who wants their transcripts else they will look for your results for the next one year and so many examples. If you add up this monies, you can see that you are getting more than your salary from your little office. No wonder these civil servants you see have a lot of money. This is what you can never get abroad.

So you can see that it is easy to make it in Nigeria but it comes at a cost. A country where nothing works. No light, no water, bad roads, bad schools, hospitals, insecurity etc. There is no fine house in Nigeria that does not have a high fence and a big gate. In the western world, you would hardly see a fenced house because the police is 2 minutes away from your phone call.

So our mentality is different from the western world. While the western world cares more about the larger society, we care about our individual self and individual wealth and this is why we are richer individually than them but they are richer and better collectively as a society than us. The question you should ask before you travel is what you value more as an individual.

Good day nairalanders,
I had read the first and the last 10pages of this thread for days now. I will like to ask few questions because I have registered with vetassess and I am getting my documents together as well. These are questions :
1) is there any point to get after skill assessment?
2) how possible is it to get ITA as quality assurance inspector with 65 points through 489?
3) does Tasmania request for POF? although I didn't see that on their website
4) what will vetassess assess OND & HND as?
Please gurus in this thread should wade in. Thanks

Good day my good people,

So i decided to use ETX-NG in sending my transcript to WES from my institute, It has been one hell of an experience, 4 months and still counting "Oversabi is a really bad something" .

And then to my question, they have succeeded in sending my transcript with their snail pace. Are they also responsible for contacting my school to respond to WES' mail. just sent them a mail, i am not expecting any response till next week. Kindly respond if you have experience with them.

Thanks as always E-Fam.

WES will use their courier for the verification of your transcript. Do not fret. Everything will be fine with little patience. Cheers

Hello All,

Thank you for your assistance so far.

Please assist with enquiry below.

I paid for Express delivery of ECA to a particular address and I was charged extra 80usd.
I read where some people cancelled the Express delivery and got refund.
I wish to now use the normal delivery, hence cancel the express stuff since my process hasnt been concluded.

I also would want to change the delivery address to another address.

Kindly assist with a useful info on how I can go about it.

Thank you.

Do the same as I explained above �

Guys please, I would like to have an advance information about this before cash is spent on it. Actually for a colleague.
1. Would WES evaluate a post graduate certificate (from uni of Liverpool online program) as equivalent to a Canadian standard. The first degree has previously been evaluated. (Would this also be regarded as two or more certs)?

You can use the contact us link on wes. org and @wescanada on twitter respectively, to confirm your question because I doubt if anybody can get answer to that here.
