Is your spouse accompanying you to Canada? If yes, I don't see why he can't write IELTS to help boost your score, that's quite odd.

Nonetheless, what's your score? You can do a PGD and be done in 9 months, what do you think?

Yes o! My journey has been a long and challenging one. I was determined not to give up. In my head, I'm still trying to cut out certain parts of my PPR write-up so I don't give the longest PPR story ever told.

After all my hustling and scrambling, I could only come up with 2.5M. Been so depressed after my ITA. In fact, I just declined the yeye ITA, because the more I was seeing the ITA, the more I was getting depressed. My CRS score of 465 affords me the luxury of declining ITAs sha.

I think of selling my car but that will only give me 700k at most. This thing just tire me. Make I dey look sha. If I nor see money, I may just end up chilling in Nigeria with Buhari.

Your dashboard should read "Submitted" after uploading your certificate and payment made.
It should change to "Received" only when ICES received your official transcript. Usually it takes about 2-3 weeks after your institution had sent the document.
I hope your transcript bears your Reference Number?

Denov:
I submitted my online application. It reads submitted. I didn't get a print out before submission, but when I went to my University, they asked for the ices form to apply for my transcript. I'm really worried. Please help, those who used ICES for ECA Evaluation. Thanks.

Nasachuky:
My ICES dashboard reads application received and ICES said they have not received my transcript till date. I thought received means that my transcript has been received?

etrange:
I HAVE MY ITA !!!

After 6 months! Wow!

I open it every five minutes to make sure it's still there! Wow

Say congratulations to me, I need it!

And come let us :Dfill this form together, I am not feeling fine.

You can send them an email and stylishly ask them the same question, they won't even know when they have answered you.

Here's what I did for my husband's evaluation, a week after etx (we used etx ng) updated that his transcript has been sent, I sent ICES this mail:

Dear Team,
My name is.......
Ref no: ICES BCIT
Please i would like to verify if you have received my documents for evaluation.

They responded that they have and gave their usual reply of 12 weeks....

Two weeks after, I sent them another email:
Please kindly confirm that my transcript from the school below was sent from an email that is acceptable by ICES. (I quoted the degree).
I need this confirmation as I made payment on the school's portal for it to be sent and want to be sure it was properly sent as I do not want any delays in the timeframe for my evaluation to be out.

(Now I remember, I sent the above email to ICES after I read @nomad26 story). @nomad26, Thanks for sharing.

and they replied:

We pleased to advise your report is in the final stages of completion and expect it to be mailed sometime next week. Once it is ready to be couriered you will receive a tracking number in your e-mail –please also check your junk mail.

They respond to mails.... you can give this a trial.
I did same for my WES.




They actually respond to mails, and timely too. I have sent them three mails to confirm if they received my transcript, and they responded that they haven't, three times. very politely sef. The third time I was reluctant to send the mail, but my contact in U.I insisted that the email was sent and he reconfirmed the email address and client number. ICES however said they didn't see it. They said they have checked and rechecked all past and present incoming mails but they have not gotten anything from my institution. They then advised me to try the courier route. Apparently, I have no choice but to do so.

Hello everyone. I hate to do this, jump into a thread on nairaland without reading to get a proper feel of the thread and asking questions that have already been answered. but I am pressed for time and I just discovered this thread today through a google search. we have an interview for B1/B2 visa very soon. The application was packaged by my husband and I never showed interest in it really because I am not really interested in U.S. However, my hubby for some reason thinks if a person has not visited U.S, he or she is not made or something. And he thinks he has a better chance if we apply as a family, hence the family application. He applied as a single person in 2014, he says he had a good interview with multiple travel history to the UK, but the VO asked him if he was married or had any kids and he said no. he was refused. He believes the refusal was because he had no family ties. Now we have a daughter. Suddenly I am apprehensive about the interview, I hate failure. How do we show ties to the Nigeria. I work with a bank, earn N385,000 monthly. He has a business, annual income about 2.4-3million. We live in our own home (although I don't know how to show the VO that). We have no intention to remain in the US. I have 20 working days leave pending for the year (haven't used any leave days). We plan to spend 2 weeks. our daughter is a baby so she has not started school. My husband's cousin has invited us to stay with his family in the US. Any pointers for our interview? Anything to note? General Advice? will appreciate comments. thank you.
sorry for the long post. trying to give enough background info.
