I have been on this journey since 2019.

Wrote my first IELTS and got LRSW 9987, CRS was 463 then COVID hit and everything went downhill from there. Watching time run out on my IELTS was one of the most painful things, I was so pained that I just ignored Canada.

Last month a friend encouraged me to write IELTS and enter the pool again. I did on the 24th and got LRSW 9888. I was so afraid but thank God I passed. CRS is now 445 due to age. The pain no be here.

Meanwhile I did a tech course in 2022 and pivoted because law is not a cross-border profession. I also dabbled into farming during COVID because man must chop.

As it stands now na only God fit run this Canada PR for me and I am writing this post just to put it out there that I will not write this traumatic IELTS again and my ECA will not expire in my hand without me and my family getting our PR.

Currently also learning french. I have suffered on top this matter.

Tired of feeling down about this so I just had to let it out. Pardon my rant abeg.

Oluwa please show up for your girl. Any which way na way.

2022Frustrated:

Thank you for your contribution Sir. The bolded is exactly what I plan to achieve. Your response alongside that of others who have graciously shared their knowledge is the right motivation I need to forge ahead. I'm grateful.
1. It is a permanent Federal government job. I can't the name because of the sensitivity.
2. The agency is responsible for the children's education up to university (up to 6 children).

Thank you once again for your input. God bless you

Nice one. Congrats to your spouse on her new job.. You both did well in your ielts. But you guys have to get married asap because you kept saying fiancee. You need to be married to apply together. The documents to submit as a common law partner may not convince every visa officer so it's best to show a wedding certificate.
Kindly change your username if you don't mind. Frustrated is not a name you want to follow you in life. 2023 favored and blessed sounds better lol

Oluwa please show up for your girl. Any which way na way.

Lol I guess many of us on this journey feel the same way. When I started this my japa journey in 2020 nobody in my institution was even thinking of japaring. I'm still here after over 2 years. Not even an ITA or NOI. Over 200 staff in my workplace (federal university) have japaed and gone. Although 98% went to UK so that's what I use to console myself. But I weep inside. Wondering who did I offend. Why did I not start this journey in 2018 when the crs cut off was friendly. My perfect ielts expired early this year. I had already sworn I was not taking it again that canada can go and use their head to hit wall lol
But when I saw more and more persons japaring from my institution even those I never thought would leave I decided to write again. I really went to the exam center with an I don't care attitude cos I was demotivated and so over the whole thing. I was even practicing on my French app while waiting for the ielts exam to start...lol.to show you how I really didn't give 2 fcks about them.
Result came out 3 days later (I took the computer based test)
LRSW 8.5, 9, 8, 7.5
I'm sitting at exactly your score now due to my age. I felt akin to your comment cos our scores are almost at par and we both gave up at one time.
Cheers!

2022Frustrated:
Please don't give up on the French. You are very brilliant. Your IELTS result speaks volume. God will make it easy for you. French still seem to be your best bet.

Amen! Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I am giving french my best shot even though it's not easy with a 1001 distractions. I will keep at it still.

Thank you once again.

Reading a few comments on this page, make Oluwa run am for all man. Don't loose hope is the only thing I can say. Been on this since 2018, most of my guys Don move. I had lost hope only to wake one night to see PNP nomination. Na God las las

Congratulations on your result sis, you maxed out!

I feel you jare. Everybody leaving like no man's business. You will now be wondering whether you are wearing back of cloth

That IELTS attitude, lol. You get mind oo. See me see fear that day.

Good luck on your french journey too.

May God come through for us abeg, we have paid dues.

Don’t focus on the regrets but the opportunities, our stories will differ but let it all end in smiles.

Your best bet right now is learning French. See that as what's standing in between you and your Canada dream. With enough effort, you can learn French in 6 months and pass TEF. Even if it takes you a year to learn the language, be rest assured you will still get ITA because of the category draw.

We have created a profile for her but have not transmitted it to avoid getting ITA and declining because we weren't ready.

....... But I am really thankful for God's mercies and blessings this year. It's been really great so far.

2022Blessed&HighlyFavoured she can get in the pool and transmit now as single and edit her profile as things emerge....even if she gets ITA she can add you as spouse after AOR. Tie break is a thing! Page 1 has a few nuggets.

All the very best sir.

Don't worry as every body has said, learn French, my own age was going up while my CRS was depleting. My bail out was French too, I used French alone with my degree because that's the only thing that could have given me 50+ points. Even Ph.d can't give me that. I don't wanna bore you with stories. I almost threw in the towel because sometimes my tiredness can be tired too. So, brace up and do it.

Please l want to start my application, have read page one, but will still appreciate it if anyone can guide me also, l have Wes but will also update it with my masters degree when the result is out by September, l don't mind if any would volunteer to assist so l can create a profile as my wife would be the primary applicant. And can also advise which oath would be better for me and my family. . . Thanks in Advance.

You can reach out to me

Thank you very much, I don't mind at all.

I used E2 IELTS the first time. Those guys are good and their techniques work 💯. Everybody I have ever referred to their YouTube channel has had success too.

To train my ears for listening, I picked English teachers from different countries to listen to so that I could get used to their different accents. English with Lucy for British accent , mmm English for Australian accent and one other American lady that I cannot remember her name at the moment.

I also did loads of real IELTS practice tests for listening and reading under test conditions. I couldn't do same for speaking and writing for obvious reasons but I watched every E2 IELTS mock video on those and followed their live classes.

I was really pumped up that time so I gave it everything.

As for the second time, I really just booked that exam and went for it because if I had waited my fear would have gotten the best of me. My only preparation was to rewatch all E2 IELTS super methods videos to reacquaint myself with their strategies.

You see those strategies, hold them dear. Form acronyms for them if you can. It will help you remember.

But in all, na God finally because na Him dey bless and magnify effort. I remain grateful to Him.

If anyone needs help with IELTS, please reach out. I will do what I can to help you. May God bless us all on this journey.

Thanks. I have done my soft landing and all. Landed first last year. Visited in June this year and will be moving finally to Canada before year end. Did French. Asides covid, the journey was not bad at all.

All the best

The friend that gingered me to consider Canada again kept telling me "Who give up na im lose" and I can't get that statement off my mind.

May my perseverance pay off as yours did.

Thanks again.

This is the best move to take. Slow and steady wins the race. Better than paying huge amounts in tuition and working menial jobs while on student visa. The patient dog eats the fattest bone. Right steps in the right direction.
