You can't say only IQAS as fear hasn't allowed lawyers to try out ICES and other non-IQAS oh.

This may not be entirely true o. You cannot, i repeat...YOU CANNOT... claim Masters/Professional degree if it wasn't accessed as such. to my knowledge only IQAS evaluates LLB as a masters so if wes says its diploma and that's what you attached kindly edit your profile to indicate that its a diploma. Lawyers that evaluated their LLB and claimed masters did so with IQAS since it is evaluated as a Professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession,

the bolded is for your attention

The answer to your concern lies in whether or not you evaluated your LL.B. If you did, that would be sufficient to claim the Masters/Professional degree. As a matter of fact, a number of lawyers (present company included) did not evaluate the B.L from law school. So if your LL.B was evaluated, you are still good to claim the Masters/Professional degree. B.L is a 'jara' that is not necessary for Express Entry. All the best.

This may not be entirely true o. You cannot, i repeat...YOU CANNOT... claim Masters/Professional degree if it wasn't accessed as such. to my knowledge only IQAS evaluates LLB as a masters so if wes says its diploma and that's what you attached kindly edit your profile to indicate that its a diploma. Lawyers that evaluated their LLB and claimed masters did so with IQAS since it is evaluated as a Professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession, please don't risk rejection and waste 550CAD. The other alternative is to initiate review with IQAS to get the max points but that will take a while before its completed (12weeks. if the reduction does not reduce your score to a score lesser than the ITA issued, kindly amend it. IF its below the lowest score for the issued ITA you may have to reject the ITA and enter the pool.

Hello All, in light of the new policy (see attachment) on withdrawal from Pension funds, hope it will not affect our POF plans?

This is just for Voluntary contributions, this is different from mandatory contributions which is domiciled in your RSA account. most RSA holders don't even do VC anyways. see this link [url][/url]https://www.scribd.com/document/364694258/Legal-Opinion-on-the-Circular-on-Voluntary-Contribution for some insights.

Hello guys

I don't think I am supposed to send original certificate to IQAS , can I apply for LLB certificates to be sent? also do I need to upload anything online. please guide me

Never ever send your original documents to anyone. All you need is a copy of your LL.B. Have you registered and pay for the assessment?
If no, click here to register https://iqas.work.alberta.ca/eca and pay for the assessment fee after which an application ID will be generated and sent to your email along with a transcript request form. You will need to fill this form and send it to your school to include it in your transcript envelope. You on the other hand will mail the other documents to iqas directly or you can arrange with the transcript officer to assist in including it with your transcript before mailing to iqas. (for this process, note that the supporting documents will be in an envelope while the transcript will also be in a separate envelope. The two envelopes will be in a larger envelope) This only helps in reducing courier cost but you need to monitor the process well to ensure they adhere to the process for sending it.

Thank you so much 4Barr. That's nice to know

So, in calculating my CRS, I can choose "masters or entry to practice professional degree"?

I am trying to do a rough calculation of my points...thanks


Yeah, as long as you evaluate with IQAS. I can't confirm that assessment by other bodies will give you that.

YES @bolded. But your evaluation MUST be done by IQAS

You don't need BL. for ECA purposes, LLB gives you the maximum scores obtainable besides obtaining transcripts from NLS is a longer process. Just apply for your LLB transcripts and certificate and mail to IQAS. It will be evaluated as equivalent to a masters degree.

Good link. Even tho I doubt if the man was really a supervisor but his actual role might not have been stated on the letter. There is difference between your Grade/level and the job 'function' for each individual

We may have 10 ETs on same level but different departments and work function but on reference letter, you only have the level stated. I may be wrong because I haven't seen any reference letter for Canada EE before.

So, I think it will be safe to ask if bank workers can get such letter that shows the level and job functions?


[24] This Court has, moreover, repeatedly affirmed that visa officers have no obligation to notify applicants of inadequacies in their applications, or in material provided in support of applications: Hamza v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2013 FC 264 at para 24, 429 F.T.R. 93. What the duty of fairness does require is that officers provide applicants with the opportunity to respond to concerns related to the “credibility, accuracy or genuine nature” of information submitted: Obeta v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 FC 1542 at paras. 20-26, 424 F.T.R. 191.

Thanks. Please clarify. Is it the full Pension or 25% Pension that can be used as POF?

Also what is the minimum POF amount requirement in Naira please?

Thanks.

The PRA 2014 allows access to only 25% of your Total RSA (Retirement Savings Account) Balance. You should approach your PFA to do a letter confirming that this is true attaching your RSA statement and stating what 25% of the RSA statement is as at the date of issue. Also attach a copy of the Pension Reform Act specifically the attached Section to validate your claim as legal. Also you can quote proceeds of your Voluntary Contribution if you are doing voluntary contributions. you can access 100% of your volunatary contributions (if you've been remitting Voluntary Contributions)

Hello guys, please I would like to get your opinion on this especially those who have done it already. Do you think that two weeks is enough time to prepare, write and pass IELTS excellently?

Cheers

You can even prepare in one day, it depends on your English Language Level. Do an assessment of where you are and where you need to be. Analyse your weak areas, for some its writing. Your weak area is what will determine the time-frame, writing for example will require more practice than the rest. Listening too could require frequent practice, in summary there is no 'one size fits all cap'

Hi everyone pls i need clarifications. I just complete my IQAS Application now and i'm meant to send my certificates. I read some comments a while back about how the photocopy of the degree certificate was sent with the issued transcript from the university in the same envelope. My question is : Is the photocopy include in the same envelope with the transcript or in a separate envelope while the transcript is in another separate envelope but everything is sent as one?
I'm confused pls
PUT ALL YOUR DOCUMENTS IN ONE ENVELOPE, SENT IT TO THE OFFICER PROCESSING YOUR TRANSCRIPTS AND TELL HIM/HER TO PUT YOUR TRANSCRIPTS IN ANOTHER SEALED ENVELOPE. PUT THE TWO SEPARATE ENVELOPES IN A LARGER ENVELOPE AND MAIL TO IQAS. WORKED FOR ME AND INCREASED PROCESSING TIME.

Also, i used a friend's Alberta address fr the delivery of the hardcopy i hope i wont need it fr the completion of my EE application? I DONT THINK IT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM, OTHERS CAN WADE IN.
Pls any help I can get will be appreciated.

What if one has LLB & LLM?

If you have LLM, you can use WES since the highest point you can get is the equivalent of Masters anyways. The advantage of using IQAS is that it is fast (not sure about this anymore) and they don't require any further confirmation. However, if you want to practice in Canada you will still need your BL. which is why WES is more preferrable but who cares about practicing right now. The goal for now is to get PR, we shall cross the bridge of licensure when we get there.

@4Barr
Thanks for your response on LLB evaluation by IQAS. The impact of this will be much on the CRS score. Talking about an additional 6 or 7 points. Please how long did it take IQAS to complete your evaluation after the submission of the required documents(LLB transcript, photocopy of LLB certificate with photocopy of data page of international passport) in the recommended way to them? Thanks.

it took 32 days to complete the assessment but i heard the timeline has changed now. IQAS usually sends three mails (one for receipt of your docs, the 2nd for your transcripts and the last when you assessment has been completed) but i only received two since i mailed my transcripts and documents together.

I know someone who evaluated her LLB with WES as Bachelor's degree (four years) and she needs few point to increase her CRS score. If IQAS evaluates her LLB can she get the points equivalent to that of Masters degree.

Wes is not good for lawyers, IQAS will evaluate it as a professional degree which attracts the same points with a Masters Degree. I am a Lawyer and i evaluated with with IQAS too. PS. I sent in my LLB alone.
