My dear, no one (not even IRCC) promised us a bed of roses in Canada. That is why it is good to do your research and weigh your options as you alone understands your circumstance better than anyone else. Forget all these self appointed opinion leaders acting like they have your interest at heart. This journey is not for the faint hearted. Are u prepared?

Did anyone read the tweets of @palemathepundit on Twitter where she is talking about the struggles of Canadian immigrants.i won't lie those series of tweets got me scared and discouraged.buh God dey.

You can book a medical exam before you receive ITA. I did mine some months before my ITA and I have passed my medicals. Just have it in mind that it will expire in a year from when it's done.

Benny247:

Hello Luce,
LOL....Sorry what i intended to ask was if I can book it before I receive my ITA....

Not true. I paid my application fee of $2, 530 with my NMC. The limit is USD$5, 000. Had to call their contact centre as I do not trust Branch Customer service Officers anymore.

Gtbank naira Mastercard limit is usd1000.

The correct email address is ngielts.payment @britishcouncil.org

mike070:
Having the same problem with ielts payment. I was able to successfully pay using the gt mobile transfer app but when I sent a mail to them that is ng.ielts.payment @britishcouncil.org I got an immediate response saying that the email address entered cannot be found. Will wait till tomorrow before sending them another one. I have evidence of payment attached to the email I sent to BC. the combination I used showed me my name and then beneficiary bank was standard chartered bank. What other action should I take guys?? Thanks all

You are in order then. You can try contacting them as someone suggested. Though I experienced same for my spouse. We sent our documents at the same time. Mine was sent for verification on time but hers was delayed. I guess because of her additional documentation for change of name

oladoyinsola:
Yes, I sent a copy of my certificate with the transcript.

Did you send a copy of your degree certificate to WES, in addition to your transcripts from your institution?

oladoyinsola:
Hello house, kindly help me with some clarifications. I sent my result to WES for evaluation by courier and it was delivered on 17th January 2018, but WES didn't acknowledge receipt until 19th January 2018.

Even after acknowledging, they said they're working on the result. Up till now, they haven't shown any update let alone send the result back to my school for verification. I learnt that this stage is supposed to be for 2-3 days after which WES will contact my school to verify the result.

I need insights into what could have happened as this delay is confusing to me,help out.
Thanks for your help.

I have been in your shoes before and so I have first hand experience. My spouse's transcript was given to her and we sent to WES via courier from a different state. No issue arose from it and ECA has been completed. Just ensure the seal is not tampered with.

Shadow247:
Hi nairalanders, I urgently need advise on my transcript to wes. I was given my transcript sealed and stamped across the envelope last year November to send by myself to wes. I'd like to know which is preferable sending it from ogun state the location of my university or sending it from lagos where I reside via ems,ups or dhl. I want to know if this won't be questionable by wes that I am sending the transcript by myself instead of the school sending it directly. Your prompt response woukd highly by appreciated friends. Thanks.

What WES did initially was just ECA which is only valid for immigration. U will need to do a course by course evaluation through WES for CPA. U do not need to send transcripts again. Just pay for the new evaluation and ur good to go.

theconsortium:
My wife is the principal applicant and she has ACCA which we have evaluated with Wes and she has also done the Canadian CPA but the issue is that CPA is requesting for Wes evaluation of her credentials but Wes is saying she has to do a fresh application from scratch instead of sending the already evaluated report..gurus in the house please I need your assistance on how we can go about this because I can’t even imagine going through the transcript saga again..thanks

Please ignore dear. I personally learnt a lot from your mistake. I might not have if u did not share. Wish you success

fantababy:
Jeez madam, it's OK.

We Nigerians sting a lot!

I have said we will go and sin no more, why are you still making a ridicle of it!


I have accepted we are wrong and I am trying to make it right. I pointed out the reasoning behind our initial decision.

Can't we argue, advice or reprimand like dupyshoo without piercing one's heart!

If I didn't ask my question, many won't have learnt and seen the wrong in entering the pool without an ECA or precalculated TRF number.

This our Nigerian attitude of stinging, responding harshly, indirectly insulting and making a ridicle, is why many will rather die in silence than seek counsel.

I belong to an Indian forum and no matter how ridiculous the question is, they answer and refer them back to the pinned post.

Back to my silent mode.

I feel you oh. Its not easy @ all with this long ECA period. They have paid their dues sha, now its our turn.

ysteph:

All those of you with ITA, PPR and COPR please how did you manage with all these waiting times......only at IQAS stage and i am already impatient. My transcripts and documents just got delivered to IQAS on the 6th of December, 2017.

It will be in your best interest to pay them the money as long as the verification will be done. Yes, both your transcript and the certificate you sent to WES must be verified by the school.My spouse spent 60k to get her transcript and verification done. It was done in record time

arizona20:
Good Morning All.

May we all have a great day.

Please assist me with this enquiry.

My document had been sent to my School for Verification.

However, My School is saying I shall pay N20, 000 to verify both Certificate and transcript.

Please, Does the certificate need to also be verified or only transcript.

Kindly help.

Thank you

Congrats. Wish u success

So the mail came in 8.21pm tonight. Thanks be to God.
All of you waiting will receive yours soon.

I uploaded my remita payment receipt which I got when I paid for my transcript and I still got my verification done. I dont think it matters. Just upload any PDF document that is related to what you are requesting for

Matanna:
Hello all. Pls I'm applying online for hubby' s unn iverification. The problem here is after filling all the requested info,I can't proceed to payment except i upload the transcript to be verified, which obviously is with wes.pls who has experienced this and what was the solution.Thanks

Hello house. Please can I request for some of my employment reference letter in advance? coz I want to avoid delays in getting them when I finally receive my ITA. If posssible, to whom should it be addressed to? Please assist. Thank you.

I have completed my MBA but I am still waiting for my certificate. My school says they can give me a covering letter as well as academic transcripts if required. Please does anyone know if this will be accepted by WES to do an ECA?
