True but I still think the scores will still drop. They will continue to fluctuate highs and lows. This happened in previous years. In 2017 for hook hits you. Good thing we all know that draws are unpredictable, it's nobody's birthright until PPR.

Nice points you raised.
i know it will eventually drop, but man...the hand writing is on the wall already. There were also times in the past when points dropped to as low as 413 but that may never happen again. By this time last year, scores were still in the 440s.
The thing is, express entry is becoming more popular and hence more competitive.
more people are landing...that means more claiming of sibling points. infact i know of a senior here who's landed and has requested transcript contact for 3 different people I'm sure are her siblings...lolxx

As if that's not enough, Alberta started issuing out nominations from nowhere... that's more guys being shot from the 400s to the 600s. again more people are already rounding off their msc programs and will enter the pool with higher scores.

bottom line is, scores will definitely drop, especially if the number of ITAs increase to 3900...but it's still gona be relatively high and no one really knows for sure. It's only wise to prepare well.
Everyone should endeavor to get the maximum possible points their ECA or Age can give them while praying for the best.

chai!...draws these days ain't funny no more. No one has celebrated ITA since sef.
hmmm...the era of aiming for 8777 is gone. maxing out ielts is the way forward now.

All those about to write ielts should double the practice... these are perilous times.

you sure say i no go remark my writing so?...**strokes beard**

e fit increase fa...these days days even one point is very important.

Hello E-fam, in the real IELTS listening exam will your answer be wrong if (1) i wrote 5-7 and there answer is five to seven (2) if the passage said the Great british Museum which i wrote but the answer says British Museum help me judge ieltsonlintest practise test oo, i was happy after i completed the test in time only for me to review/mark the solutions i got 6.5/9 but i added all the simple omissions and additions to my mark and got 8.3~8.5/9.

Lolzzzz....see how surprise catch my guy.

welcome to the world of IELTS.

even an omitted "S" at the back of a plural is a huge offence. it could make the whole difference between whether you'll have to cough out another 75k or nah

.

nelronaldo:
Thanks. I just sent a PM.

Another question. You know Nigerian universities usually award degree a year after graduation, automatically making the day degree was awarded as your graduation date. What do I do because I started housemaship in January while my degree was award November that year? Should I leave out the housemanship because of this?

Apart from filling in your personal history post-ita, i don't think there's a scenario where that could be a problem.
Besides, you qualify to practice the very moment you pass all prescribed examination in your school. The rest that follows is just ceremony. that's why you were even given the opportunity to start your internship before the certificate was issued, in the first place. You can always write a letter of explanation if it'll raise some red flags post-ITA. till then, you are good to go.

but then, that's just my opinion.

nelronaldo:
Please should I indicate that the house job was an internship or housemanship? Or I should just state, I work there as a doctor?

depends. If your HOD will sign the ref letter if you state otherwise fine. if not, you can always use this sample.

***sample***
this is to certify that Mr Nelronaldo worked as an Intern Medical doctor (or medical officer, whichever) in the department of medicine from 23rd January 2050 to .........

nelronaldo:
How did you use your internship. With the internship, it will be more than two years.
Also, without NYC then it is 9 months. So the NYSC is important.

i assume you must be done with internship by now, use only that internship work experience. except you have other work experience to make it EXACTLY 3 Years (not 2 years 9 months). if not, just use your one year internship

nelronaldo:
Please any medical practitioner who used internship and NYSC as Express entry work experience?

Secondly, I have a work experience of one year and nine months. Can I round it up to two years when filling my profile or I have to select it as one year or less than two years, if this option is available?

bro why you wan stress yourself nau? points for 1 year work experience is same as for 2years. no need adding NYSC experience or rounding off to make 2years.

and yes, a lot of us have used internship as work experience.

Seems the petition against them is finally having an effect.
Kudos to the guys that initiated it.

Princessfad:
Good evening everyone,
I have a certain concern, I'm seeing on ICES website that we need to submit out secondary school certificate,did this just start? Or I'm not understanding properly? I chose ICES because of this WAEC scratch card issue. Please can anyone help clarify.

aaaah!...ICES too??

doubted your post till i checked their website just now. that's the new thing now.

**modified**

oops!...false alarm. ICES is still the Darling we used to know

DonTee07:
while the number is increasing, a lot of people already in the pool are either updating high band IELTS, work experience, additional qualification, sibling points or even TEF...this can explain why the tie-break date is Dec 2018.

very very true.

hmmm...na baba God hand person the now o

kfrosh:
Take a look at the number of ITA, It's 3,350.
It was always 3900 before. One o the reasons why it shoot so high like that.

still bro, that score is too high. The tie breaking rule shows there were plenty people with 457 in the pool.
Even if 3900 ITAs were issued, i believe the score will still be above the 452 benchmark, which is still the highest since January 2018.

You've got a point though, that was a contributing factor.

Hopefully, since this is the first draw of the month, another draw may hold next week. fingers crossed

DonTee07:
If they maintain two weeks interval, it will surely get low. I advise people, look for all possible way to max your CRS point while waiting for a favorable draw because IRCC can be very funny.

very very good advice.

again, the number of people picking imterest in EE is increasing significantly. Even after a 3 weeks break, that 457 is still very high.

the tie breaking rule was even as far back as December 2018!

AdetonaDami:
This draw ehn......it is well
457!! kinda high ooo or am I getting it wrong.

of course it is! all time high since January 2018.

danianne:
Draw is out. 457

chai!!...IRCC why??!!!!!
mehn, these guys are really in charge of regulating the scores

Bellonaire:
Hi everyone,

Please help me give God the glory as I just got an upgrade on my Enquiry on Result. First IELTS attempt was LRSW- 7.5, 8 ,7.5 ,6.5.Second attempt: LRSW- 8.5, 8,7,6.5 which I felt underscored my writing because I know say I try for the exam that day. Requested the EOR after earing a lot of encouragement here, from friends and colleagues. Now it got upgraded to LRSW- 8.5, 8,7,7. So IELTS is finally out of the way. Jejely waiting for my MSc result, so I can do get ECA with WES or ICES. The journey continues..........

A big congratulations man...

after the horrors i went through with IELTS, as far as I'm concerned, the joy of passing it is more than PPR sef. cos though it tarries, PPR is guaranteed... but IELTS?? **Shudders**

although every aboki get im own kettle sha...everyone has their own individual challenge

hmmmm...people are really going through a lot of emotional stress in this journey. just that majority are silent about it.

Here's to everyone hoping for a miracle in today's draw...may our expectations never be cut short.

And may IRCC not fall hand today abeg...

ruicosta2000:
I'm sorry this is coming late.
I started the journey around June 2018. I am a silent reader and was inspired by the success stories I read here. And so I decided to give it a try. ECA was with WES and straightforward.
IELTS was on July 7. Initially had LRWS 8 8.5 6.5 8 but EOR was and success.

waow!..the common law path does work.

congrats man...we go attend una wedding for Canada be that

Thanks

Lol, chill bro. It's just past 8am in some provinces and some others are just waking up sef. Even if there'll be a draw, let's give them time to arrange office first.
