Ceteris paribus, 12 days after your exam the TRF should be available.

chygoz3:
For those who wrote IELTS with IDP, can anybody confirm how the number of days between the test date and the test report date?
I wrote on the 21st of March, and due to this lockdown, I won't be getting the TRF anytime soon and I'd like to submit my EE profile as soon as possible.

I asked the same question the other time because I was experiencing the same issue but no one answered me perhaps they thought you haven't read through from page one. However, I decided to change the browser I was using from google chrome to internet explorer and the proper link showed up. Kindly try using a different browser too, it worked for me.

Nedu2144:
Please has creation of profile been suspended?

I created one but I couldn't pass the stage that requested for change of password or revok GC key. Instead I saw "click continue to go to home page"

Please is it advisable to start looking for jobs in Canada while one awaits the draw.
IELTS- 07/12/2019
Profile Created- 04/04/2020
CRS- 481

Congratulations to you! You have shown a high level of commitment so you deserve the successful outcome. May Canada favour you, best wishes for the future.

VO: Ottawa
Single Applicant.

Decision to Travel
First heard about express entry in August 2016 from a colleague who was in the process. At that time, it looked too expensive to run and focused on getting a better job. No thanks to incompetent Buhari and his body odor I made up my mind to leave. Also, many of my colleague who left were getting jobs with the Canada office and other competitors of my Nigerian office.

ECA
A friend advised I use IQAS for assessment as it was faster than WES. So I registered in august 2017 paid and sent my transcript. Only to discover I registered for a wrong assessment, I called them on phone and was asked to register for right one and include a letter saying they should cancel the first application and apply the funds to the second one. A month later they mailed me saying I should reapply and pay as they were going to refund me. As at this time scores were rising, and I was getting scared. I then came across a post on here ( Nairaland) about ICAN AAT being evaluated favourable by WES . As soon as IQAS refunded me I abandoned them and switched to WES. As I was about to apply for another transcript NASU went on a 4 months strike, so I face ICAN AAT. ICAN refused to verify and told WES I was owing them hence they can’t confirm. But the funny thing was that before you can apply for ICAN Transcript you must have paid all dues. I sha sent them evidence and left them to God. NASU would later call off the strike March or April 2018 and my transcript was sent. ECA was completed late April 2018.
Big battle with IELTS (LRSW)
If anyone had told me I would struggle with IELTS I would not have believed Shebi its English. I did not prepare much as such. I paid for IELTS late 2017 but missed as I was sent to PH for a project.

First IELTS February 2018 with BC—8.5, 8,8,6.5 (remark took 3 months no change).
Second IELTS June 2018 – 6,8.5,8.6.5. I booked for another one with IDP lagos but due to work commitments I could not come back as to Lagos as planned. I requested for change of Venue to PH. MOD said no, so I paid for another one in PH center 2 days to the test date. They used a bad speaker (not headset o) for listening we all protested and filled the complaints form. The listening came out bad as expected, I sent them emails to threaten them with lawsuit. The Lagos office seemed to care less but the Australia office sounded worried and scared. So, they gave me a free test in Lagos.

Third IELTS August 2018 with BC – 7.5,8,7.5.6.5
While dragging with MOD IDP I had gone to pay for another BC. The listening and writing spoilt it again

Fourth IELTS August 2018 with MOD IDP (free)- 8,8,7.5, 6.5. applied for remark no change. At this point I gave up and forgot totally about Canada and stop visiting the naira land thread. To compound my woes I missed an Ontario PNP draw(400 and above for the chosen NOC) with my 415 crs scores as I did not open a profile because I thought it was too low. How can 0.5 difference be worth 50 points nitori olorun. 2018 was almost over with nothing to show na soso IELTS chai.

Fifth IELTS January 2019 with MOD IDP- 8.5,7,8,6.5
I used the services of a tutor. Still could not pass the writing. remark came back unchanged. I drove all the way from VI to Ogudu to pick it up only to see same score. I just went to a nearby eatery to chill and think about my life. Na me IELTS dey disgrace like this.

SIXTH IELTS march 2019 with BC – 7,7.5,7.5,6.5
I tried CBT next, maybe it was my chicken that was making me score 6.5. I has issues with the CBT listening (mouse keyboard typing and concentration was very hard).

FINAL IELTS April 2019 with MOD IDP 8.5, 7,7,7
At the point i was determined to get a real IELTS examiner to solve my debacle. I searched on linkedin and nairaland till I found one. He had worked for BC as an examiner for 4 years before he left. He reviewed my essays and told me the problem areas. (punctuations, spelling, grammar, subject verb agreement). We worked together for 3 weeks and he told me I was almost ready. i went behind his back to book a test with 3 days to go. I made sure I planned my time. I used 10 mins to review my work. Result came out around 5 am that day and I was elated. 679k ( 75+75+15+68+68+75+46+68+46+75+68) waka on top IELTS o . dived into the pool with 465.

ITA
With my battle with IELTS over ITA was too sure for me. It was a public holiday and I headed for my office so as to scan and gather documents, but CRS was 470 that day. I was like village people must be behind this. Ontario then sent me an NOI few days later which I ignored as I had no $1,500 CAD to give them. Finally got ITA on June 12.

POST ITA-I had gathered all most of the documents after I passed IELTS except for POF

Medicals – IOM

REFERENCE LETTER-submitted only reference letter from my current workplace.

POF- part gift deed, part savings and Pension. Submitted Mutual funds reference letter, PFA reference letter, gift deed (not notarized) and bank statement to show inflow of gift deed.

PCC- renewed a PCC I had done in faith sometime in 2018 with Insp Moshood.

DIGITAL PASSPORT- Initially used a phone app but I looked like a Cameroonian instead of a Canadian. Later went to studio 24.

AOR/MEP/BIL
June 25/July 25/July 26

POST AOR
I was confident the PPR would come fast so I could leave Nigeria in 2019 but by December no PPR. I had ordered for GCMS notes in October (Got a 3 months delay notice). I ordered for a CBSA note in December 2019. I called CIC severally the agents told me my file was on review required but they refused to tell me what area. I guessed it was the pensions part (10% of my total POF). Some people advised I send in an updated POF whole some warned me not to. I later sent the updated POF(converted my naira to USD and added more money) and replaced the pensions with cash. GCMS notes came in late January, as at request date was still in central intake office and I had a review required on STAT questions (Visa refusal in 2005 to UK) I was granted the Visa after addressing the issue noted and was granted. so, I began to wonder why it was an issue. CBSA note came in early February and revealed review required on proof of funds. Pensions was not considered by the officer, so I was short of POF by 900 CAD. I sent them a mail informing them I had addressed the POF issue. I was already paranoid at this point and was fearing rejection.

PPR
I got a ghost update and called IRCC . the agent told me application approved. The golden mail came in the next day. COPR approved 10th of March. The journey was a long hard one for me and am glad it ended well. See you all in Canny.

Congratulations to you and to everyone on this thread who received ITA today. Good-luck!

Pwinkle1:
Can’t believe it finally got to my score... who would have thought!!

467 at last! We can only trust in God’s timing

Congratulations to all ITA clinchers, happy for you guys, amidst all the chaos in the world

I think I agree with you. You need to have a sibling in Canada or have additional language test to achieve that score of 498.
With my age less than 30, MSc and maxing IELTS (1st attempt: L 9, W 8, R 8, S 8 ), I couldn't move pass 481.
Allow me to introduce myself as a silent follower of this thread for a long period of time. I salute everyone who has been contributing to this forum, I really gained a lot. While I await the result of ECA, I am on 481 patiently waiting to dive into the pool.
Peace!

ednut1:
498 Only possible if you have masters, siblings in canada , french and english test. For the 3.5m like many they got it thought gift deed from family members

Please, as regards the living permit and health insurance, how do we go about it?
Prompt response is needed please. Thanks.

presiade:


As a student, a prudent individual can make do with just €300-350 monthly (depending on lifestyle, of course). If you are on scholarship, you need to properly review the scholarship terms to see if you have the right to work, and to what limit if allowed...

Thank you for your kind response. He's actually not planning to work, we are just concerned about how he can add additional income to his monthly stipend as stated on his scholarship. But if 560euros will be enough for feeding and accommodation, he won't need to work.

frankie2K:

your friend is lucky to be among the 5% offered full scholarship. The 560 will be enough and from LUT, they didnt mention dat benefactors wont work but they insisted that benefactors will meet up with 55 credit units per semester

Thanks so much. He was offered MSc admission.

Please I have a friend who was just offered a full scholarship to Finland with 560 euros as living expenses monthly. I want to ask if he can live a comfortable life with this living expenses budget or if any available way he can work since he's on a research masters program and not by course work to augment his expenses.
The school is LUT

Thanks for the info. Please can I have your whatsapp number?one is 07063371393 thanks.

Good evening all. I am a current MSc student.
I just felt the need to contribute my quota to this thread.
1. Kindly note that serving corpers are not expected to obtain the form, the admission policy changed last year and so many people lost their admission due to that policy. The form is strictly for those who have passed out or those who will be passing out before the form closes.
2. For those who want to change from the field where they have their first degree, kindly visit your proposed department to make enquiries, some of our colleagues with B.Ed in Chemistry were not allowed to write entrance for MSc Chemistry without having PGD Chemistry first.
3. Please note that TRANSCRIPT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT WHERE ADMISSION IS BEING SOUGHT AND NOT TO THE PG SCHOOL- some of our colleagues were denied admission because of this.
4. kindly read and prepare well for the entrance exam. The admission process is a straightforward one, you don't need much influence.
kindly ask any question, I shall try as much as possible to answer or you can chat me up via whatsapp

"The rich man is not God" is just a consolation for the poor man.
Even though your post sounds valid but not in the right context.
Don't underestimate the power of a degree.
An experienced road side mechanic or what have you, without a degree, can only solve a particular problem due to repeated encounter with that particular problem. What happens when he faces a new task he's not familiar with?
University degrees are meant to broaden our mind to find "several means" to tackle a particular problem without being limited to a single solution and not from a narrow point of view as someone who doesn't have the training.
Why do you think several tests are conducted in a hospital before prescribing a drug or medication unlike a patent medicine store who "dishes out" drugs based on experience? A trained doctor unlike a quack medicine seller knows that a single solution doesn't solve all problems and thus want to be sure unlike the other who will believe everyone has the same body response to issues.
Finally, I suggest op gets a degree and stop being myopic, if he hasn't already, and stop discouraging people. Those who have the chance to attend schools after years of quack experience will do well to tell you how profitable and inspiring it is to be properly trained, assessed and awarded a DEGREE.

Salutations.
Please I need your advice for a friend. She has a Bsc (Ed.) in Accounting Education and she wants to proceed for her second degree. Which one should she go for MSc or Master in business Admin?

Please I don't have the direct link to apply for the scholarship.

mikrizz:

Thank you Brother!
What do you think of courses like Petroleum Engineering or Maybe Computer science?

Both of the courses are lucrative and nice. Just aim high, soar like the eagle and you will be unstoppable.

I'd rather you go and study Chemistry than major on INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY. ICH is not globally recognized like chemistry since it's a piece of a bigger puzzle. Better don't waste ur talent on a piece, pursue a greater cause while you still have the chance to.
#My humble opinion.
BTW I hold a B.Tech in Pure and Applied Chemistry

pearl0008:
please what department are you @ tolam08

Chemistry. But I know someone who was offered admission into Educational Management

pearl0008:
Hi, please is there any Educational Management Applicant here

educational management list is out. kindly check ur portal.

dan41:

There is no watsapp group contact for now... Just stay put n hope in God

kindly chat up 08067915581 to be added to a WhatsApp group where you can meet fellow applicants from your department. congratulations to those who have been offered admission, I pray for favour for those who are yet to be offered.
