There are 3 organizations that can do ECA.
CES - http://learn.utoronto.ca/international-professionals/comparative-education-service-ces/immigration

ICAS - http://www.icascanada.ca/fsw/home.aspx

WES -http://www.wes.org/ca/fswp/

Read through their websites to see their various conditions and choose anyone that favours you. I used CES because of their favourabke condition. I think most people use WEs. For ielts don't forget that you need to write general test and not academic test. Start your educational evaluation immediately.

Please join me once again in praising the Lord.

Solomonwise and Damkollins u guys r going great job.

solomonwis:


Congratulations!

You should get your visa before the year 2014 is over,ceteris paribus

More to come!

ANBAKO:


I chose CES because their conditions are favourable to me. My educational certificates are not in English, requires a lot of translation. They did not request for certified translators hence I did the translation through a friend. They also had a good turnaround time then. I did everything within 4 weeks.

For any of the evalution organizations, you need to get your transcript. You need to contact your institution to forward your transcript to CES. I dont know how you will process that because I dont know the Nigerian system. One thing i know (from guys here) is that you need to push for this and need to be very proactive about it. A lot of people here on the forum has done that.You will also need to send the copies of your certificate and transcript to the evaluation organization separately.....
Which institution did you graduate from? Maybe there are people here that can give you heads up.

Good luck.

I graduated from the University of Benin. I have been told it can take up to 4weeks if you can fast track it. Has anyone here done it this way from Uniben?

livepluslife:


I graduated from uniben I used wes it was quite fast. Uniben has the option of sending by email. I chose that. it's very fast

damkollins:

Mainly ,it is expected that only a principal applicant alone (if single) and spouse (if married) will pay RPRF.
Dependants are generally excluded from the fee.
Cheers.

Danchiks:
Dear All, I want to confirm if after getting an Educational Credential Assessment Report from WES or any other body assessing credentials, it's also mandatory for one to submit secondary or post secondary education documents (certificates, diplomas or degrees) and even transcripts for successfully completed secondary or post secondary studies or the ECA report is enough as proof of education?

Adanora:
@slya

Pls are u 2013 or 2014 set and wen was ur Application received.


Concerning ur question, our seniors will do justice to it soon

AceOak:
Hi guys, has anyone been able to raise a draft from GTB in the last couple of days? i want to go there tomorrow morning and try.

Slya:
Happy Sunday wonderful people. Its good to know that AVO is fired up now. Wish everyone here successful application.

Please seniors and everyone in the house, i need your input on this dilemma.

On the Schedule A form, question no. 6, sub-sectcion d; i answered yes during my initial submission to CIC. The details provided for the "yes" was that;- My spouse was refused US visitor visa in 2012 and was told she was not eligible to apply at this time. She was asked to apply after some time.

The issue now is, since i was also asked to update the Schedule A form in the MR mail, is it necessary to give further details like; I have also been refused visitor visa in 2011 because i did not go to the visa interview with the receipt for my child's delivery in the US. I was requested to come back with the receipt.The receipt was presented in 2012 and i was granted US visiting visa (2 years multiple entry) in 2012.

I initially did not include this details about myself since i have been granted visa after the said refusal. Pleassssssse house what do you guys think? Should i just leave it as it is with just the detail about my spouse. Or should i include my details as above? Thanks for your thoughts!

solomonwis:


Please state it as it is,if you were refused tick yes and provide explanation. This might be a bait by the VO as the information might have come to light during the background check.

It doesn't harm your application in anyway if you tick yes,not minding the fact that you never did during your initial application.

Slya:


I am not sure what you are paying for but i believe USD draft is also acceptable. If that is the case, then go to UBA (marina branch) and raise your draft as long as you have a dom account with them. You should get it in 24 hours. I rasied my USD there for RPRF.

gentleiphy:


I think CIC specified the draft to be raised in CAD not USD,however I wouldn't know if they also said RPRF should also be in CAD..so let's confirm and be sure before forumites start raising drafts in USD only to be rejected.

ferdimako:

You mean uniben has the option of sending ur transcript via online? If so, how about ur fifilled-out form? Did they scan and send as well? It will even be the best to give them ur certificate too to scan and send.

livepluslife:


My transcript was sent by courier and verification by email. You can ask if transcript can be scanned and sent by email. I didn't ask.
