Nuccas:
Pls I need more info on the ECA because i have been having problem completing the WES registration. I have OND and HND but some other little professional certificate and also it requesting for recipient 2. Am I to add my school as recipient 2 together with IRCC?

Not sure if your question has been answered but IRCC is the only recipient.

I think you would be sending transcripts for your OND and HND to WES

Journey started August last year, my ex and I broke up 2 months before and I remember seeing one Canadian agent’s cArd in his wallet. I sha snapped it and never bothered about it. He wanted to go to Estonia as he was into IT and hoped to get shengien visa. I did my research on Nairaland too and sent him the link, we both read. My dumb ass really wanted to go with him as per the “LOML” when I knew fully well Estonia was never in my bucket list � after the breakup I realized I wanted Canada or Australia instead of the Estonia I was researching on. I carried myself to Nairaland and read the express entry thread for both countries and concluded Canada was easier and left Australia. I called the agency guys and went to their office, I paid 10k and captioned it “Mumu Money” they asked why I did that I said I’m scared if it would worth it. Long and short, all what they told me was what I already knew with the exception of the fact that if I had National Diploma it would earn me extra points (I didn’t know this before that day). I figured it wasn’t a waste afterall as I had gained some confidence in what I already knew And Nairaland wasn’t selling crap to me.

My cousin in the US suggest I come to there as that’s where the money is and leave Canada. I was stucked in a limbo as to whether to chose US and go on a student visa or go for Canada as PR. Canada far outweighed US as this Trump ish was becoming a pain in the ass.

Sometimes in September 2018 or there about another bobo waka come that wan said it was Australia he was going to that he preferred it cos of distance and he won’t have to look back to naija again. Omo na so I borrow myself brain sharp sharp I told him I’m not doing oh before another boy comman ruin my career for me �

WES account created on 27 July 2018, paid August 1 and this was before the WAEC saga but somehow they managed to drag me back to be among those that must verify WAEC. ECA was the longest wait time! Took over 5 months to get it all sorted. My friend in ilorin helping me had exams to write so he couldn’t give it his 100% time, I can’t blame him. asked him to tip the guys in school. Total cost for ECA was N140,285 started 1 August 2018 ready 14 January 2019. I used nipost to send my certificate and AAT Transcript(sent separately it was 4k, the lady use scope to corner my change), my Bsc was delivered but my AAT wasn’t I found out after 2 months wait and sent again with UPS, paid N14,500. Waec cost 10k and paid 9k for courier through UPS. I got the UPS woman’s number begged her to let me include my ATS transcript(which was ready in less than 3 days) alongside my WAEC transcript. She no gree, I tipped her 2k and she was extra nice. I had two or more certificates (BSC and AAT)

IELTS
So I wrote twice both were MOD
First one was for AUG 18 LRWS - 8, 8, 7.5, 6.5 �
Second was Oct 27 LRWS - 8, 8, 7.5, 7 �
My first IELTS experience, I prepared for a month and used mostly Jay’s video from E2 language , I didn’t like Liz then Cos I thought she smiled too much � and I couldn’t concentrate but laugh at her smiling face �

After them nack my 6.5 I paid 46k for remark but “Result remained unchanged” ewww my chest ahh. I wanted to register for another one in that same September but it was too short and I didn’t want to take chances. I registered for October 27 immediately before I left their office. My lazy a$$ didn’t read until 20th of October, reality hit me that I can’t fail this time o. I was to resume a new job, I begged for a month grace and my one month was spent enjoying life and restructuring my new house. I started reading and I visited the ielts thread and saw most people recommended Liz paid video! I mentioned codedplace taya to send me link he say send mail. That was how I left him and resulted to LIZ videos on YouTube, I subscribed for IELTS advantage by Chris Pell. It’s a 5 days course but I took it in 2 days as my exam was already in 3 days time. I went back to the ielts thread the night before my exam and check codedplace profile, his old posts found out he had previously dropped the link. Naso I open am, saw 3 videos of 1 hr plus each. Grim!! My goodness! It’s past 10pm already and I need to sleep. I downloaded the 3 videos and turned off my internet to avoid visiting WhatsApp and Twitter every minute. I was stucked with Liz smiling face for another 3 hours , Took my earpiece and watched the videos till 1am and I slept. I must say, those videos really helped me. I took less water as I went into the exam hall for my paper. The fact that I had to pee in my first attempt and spent 15 minutes been restless before I was allowed to go out was part of what accounted for my poor performance the first time, so I didn’t let it happen again.(lesson, reduce water intake before going to the hall) Result turned out as expected. Glory be to God.

PCC inspector moshood was 4k. I think this was the easiest of all.

Medicals was IOM on 30th January paid 41,400. I had earlier called Qlife to book appointment but they told me the earliest available period was April kilode! Na medicals I wan do, I no kill person. I used google and landed on IOM website. I called to book an appointment then I was asked to send my email. I was booked for the following Wednesday (30th Jan)

POF I uploaded 6 months statement of account with savings.

Work experience
Letter in CIC format, 3 months pay slip and 4 months account statement. I didn’t highlight my salary. I had no idea that was a thing as at then.

Called twice to enquire about VO and if eligibility has started. The last call was 9th of May and was told Eligibility has not been completed. I asked if it was started she responded again “Eligibility has not been completed” if it’s me that don’t understand English or it’s she, I ended the call and swore not to call back till 6 months is passed.

ADR May 11th was for copy of Education degrees. This is when I would say God stood for me. When. I got request letter I jumped out of joy that PPR was here alas it was ADR goosh! I wan slap person. I just said to myself seems this CIC people just want to see my finesse certificates again but unknown to me the fault was from me. I uploaded my passport and captioned it EDUCATION + ECA when I submitted my application. This I only found out when I was to upload the new one, I opened the old one with the intention of seeing what I did wrong to correct it this second grace period. Lo and behold I found my passport all pages inside!!! I uploaded Degrees, IELTS And use Ilovepdf to join my ECA with it. (Lesson here, always double check before uploading)

May 17 about 3am, I found myself awake. I said to myself lemme pray. I checked my work mail like 5 times already and didn’t check my personal mail. I went to IG and spent almost an hr. I wanted to sleep back, and I was feeling guilty that I didn’t even pray, I hope Social media would not be the end of me. I hoped to check my mail before saying a 2 minutes prayer and closing my eyes. ...It was there, the long awaited email has been waiting for me since 11.35pm on 16th May.

Right now I don’t have a passport Cos my dog ate it, and no! I wasn’t careless. The dog picked it from my opened bag on the floor in my room. (lesson here, be extra careful with your documents) and the new one isn’t ready yet but it should be out before 15 days I have to submit my passport for VISA.

On first of May, I made a declaration that my good news was coming this month. It finally came. It has ended in praise! Glory be to God! Thank you Jesus! Alhamdullah for everything!!!


PS I’ve been a very active nairaland user since 2011 but I had to create this dummy profile so that my village people will not trace me on my main account. God bless you all, God bless Seun Osewa for this wonderful platform. God bless God for been God.

jjohndoe83:
I read somewhere that citing military training will earn you an extensive review/vetting of your application. You may wish to leave it as work experience alone.

Thank you.

@ fizzile Thanks

please Should nysc be included as military training under personal history?

P.S it forms part of my work experience. I worked in same organization till 2018

joo2018:
Your choice.

Bank reference letter in CIC format is enough.

The 6 month SOA is only added as an extra supporting document if the bank refuses to provide the letter in CIC format

Thank you

ETHIX:
Failing to declare your paid job and business may earn you a rejection cos they will verify through different means e.g online social media

Pls fix all your pof in Tbills or fixed deposit by doing so you dont need to forward your statement. The Tbills or fixed deposit with the bank's foreign reference letter is enough

Does this mean account statement for 6 months plus reference letter would not be enough? I really don't have interest in this tbills or fixed deposit stuff please

joo2018:
Disclose the side job and current job Post-ITA in personal history when filling your application.

Alright thank you.

Congrats @sendugba go and flourish in your new home.


Guys please, I have been running a business concurrently with my job for the last 3 years which would form the bulk of the income for my POF aside my salary. Is it relevant I disclose the biz in my personal details in my EE profile?

Also I didn't incluse my current job in my profile which i had just resumed in october. this is because i already have the required work experience i need plus the job role are not very similar. Is there a need to include my current job?

I look forward to your responses

Talkingboy:
Good morning all .

I have been battling with WES for some time now (Since 2017) , and I need some help .

I have Bsc and ATS/AAT from Ican and I got my ECA Report in July 2018. All necessary correspondences were sent to Wes by Ican and they (Wes) confirmed receipt and verification of Docs/certificate. To my surprise , the ican credential was no where to be found on the ECA Report .

I made this known to them and they requested my certificate again. I did send it to dem and they've been saying nonsense since. The below response was what they sent to me yesterday .

Dear Mr. Talkingboy,



Thank you for contacting us with your concerns.



We reviewed your evaluation report and confirmed that it is correct.



World Education Services (WES) does not evaluate study from The Association of Accountancy Bodies in West Africa (AATWA). If you wish to have your Accounting Technician Certificate (ATC) included in your already completed evaluation report, please submit a copy of your certificate as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). Upon receipt of the ICAN certificate, WES will review and update the report as warranted.



We would like to emphasize that WES evaluations are advisory opinions and not binding upon any institution or organization.





Sincerely,

Director of Evaluations

The certificate ICAN gave me was what I have been sending to them since and they keep rejecting it . Do they want me to goan manufacture cert in OLUWOLE ni ? because I don't know what to do again .

Is there any Post 2013 AAT holder that has successfully crossed this hurdle ?

NB: I picked ICAN as d issuing body and not ABWA when I was filling d form.

Help Biko . Thank you .

I think you should send them your examination certificate not membership. It has ICAN on it

hollerbaby:
Yes. The tracking status may not change on the nipost website but that doesn't mean it's not in transit. I used nipost to send my documents to Wes for less than 1500 and got there in less than 3 weeks

I think it has been received.

How do you confirm which document was received by WES? Because I had about 4 documents in transit from different institutions, how do I know which was received as this isn't indicated on my WES dashboard.?

Awaiting your kind response.

Good day house,

Has anyone ever successfully sent documents to WES via nipost in 3 weeks?

I sent mine since Aug 2nd. Its still showing

Insert item into bag (Otb) Lagos Air Since August 8th same spot

Am I in haste or is this how it is?

Sthill5:
It takes about 2-3 working days to acknowledge.

alright. thanks

Hi guys,

please how did WES confirm reception of documents sent?

My WAEC Transcript was delivered since friday. No email or update on my account yet.

Or does it take a while to reflect?

awaiting your responses. Thanks

JustinTrudeau
I didn't use WES for my first degree owing to the fact that i was not in the know that i can also evaluate both with WES at the same cost. I had to run to WES when draws refused to drop.

After making payment on WES site i made a request for my transcript quoting my ref number and when it was ready i was asked if they can send it(NIPOST) or not.I went to their office to pick it up and send myself.I just included a copy of my certificate in the brown folder.You can send it via fax too,its accepted.

I hope this explains it

Yes it does, thank you.

Newmum0615 when I saw your post this morning I had a feeling the mail was closer than you thought

Congratulations to you ! I use you as a point of contact to myself and every other persons on this thread,

PPR will come like a thief in the night and we would be overwhelmed with JOY beyond our imaginations.

Amen.
HAPPY new month to us all

JustinTrudeau:
Hi Wiz,my DOB was bodly written on my ECA from WES.So i guess they got it from my transcript,can't say for sure.Maybe from registration details on their portal,i wouldn't know.

I didn't open my transcript from ICAN so its hard to tell if DOB is written or not.

Cheers mate

I'm sorry for the many questions please.

After payment on Wes site, you headed over to ICAN office to request for your transcript if I'm correct, the transcript was handed over to you and you sent it to WES yourself right?

my question is did you include a copy of your exam certificate in a separate document and sent both together or you sent separately?

If you sent separately, on each documents, did you indicated that it contained your Transcript/Exam Certificate or just their address and your reference number?

Was that the same way you sent your School certificate and transcript as well?

Please I just need to get this clearly, there is no room for mistakes

Thanks man

EyesondPrize , JustinTrudeau , melarose and every other person that used ATS,

Is date of birth written on The transcript or any of the document sent by ICAN to WES?

Awaiting answers please, as I have an issue regarding my year of birth on my records.

guys please I'm about to pay for my ielts, aside the costs, which would you advice I go for BC or MOD?

based on outcome of people's performance, is there any preference?

I need responses please cry

deboks:
1. Has your school sent the document to WES? if not You can do an affidavit, take your birth certificate and other documents to your school and request that your age to be changed before they send them to WES. you might have to part with hard earn nickels.

2. if they have sent it to WES my best guess is to send an email attaching all the above documents, also call and find out their procedure on such matters. Calling WES ... to me is the fastest was of communication.
or
3. Do option one, ENSURE the DOB is changed by your school and send to IQAS...that means you would have to call WES and cancle your application. you would probably lose the application fee... but save your self the time ...by doing IQAS or another approved insititution.

hope this helps. dont fret...it will end up in praise!

Thanks for your response.

I'm just about to start the ECA
For option one, I'm concerned if my school will be willing to change it. They have copies of my birth certificate for the old age.
