Please help. When you did your certificate assessment from OAU, was the transcript sent by the school or you were given the transcript? I want to know how fast it could be if sent by the school.
I got my OAU ECA 14 months agos. At that time, the pressure was not this intense. My brother obtained it on my behalf and sent it through courier. They obliged him because he was a Phd student and was very persuasive. They verified my certificate by email which made the whole turnaround time about 4 -5 weeks. |

My suggestion is option (1). I had a similar experience but my UK certificate is BSc in a different field from my Naija ND cert. I had them include the ND because I used it under the related NOC category in my application to CIC in Nov 2014. Yours appears to be in the same field. The MSc. will still give you the points you're entitled to. I also must warn you that asking them to reevaluate the Naija BSc cert will create delays as they say. I'm talking from experience. I nearly missed the deadline for submission late last year. There were several mails back and forth which created delays and tensions. Also, I've come to learn that Oyibo no dey think like Naija people because their systems usually function as designed. Also factor your Naija institution. Are they very responsive, etc? All of these do count.
Also listen to what others have to say about this and make your informed choice.
Regards. pls are you saying that if is not necessary to send one's naija degree to WES for evaluation if one has a higher degree from a foreign university? JesusDWay, please what is your take on this? thanks |

It's a bit complicated as i'm reading recently how folks who studied Masters in Canada but first degree in their home country are having issues with CIC after having being given ITA. CIC is telling them they can't find their ECA details on WES website, but the same CIC has earlier said if you have a Canadian Degree, you don't need ECA. It seems however, that since they have registered their Bsc which is foreign, CIC will want the Canadian equivalency, whether the Masters was done in Canada or not. What i can say(kindly note that its an opinion and not an authoritative advice) is that, if you registered Bsc that is not Canadian, you may need to evaluate it as well so that you wont be logged on story.com by CIC at the end of the day. Besides, i think you wont be paying extra to WES if you include your Bsc after having asked them to do only the Foreign degree. To be better assured though, you can contact CIC and let them tell you what to do. |

If you guys have two different profiles in the pool, but the same number of points on the two profiles and the same information.. Really don't see this as maximizing your chances.. Reason being that the selection process is all based points on individual profiles.(not dual profiles) Cos when they send you your ITA, they won't send another ITA to your husband, due to the similar profile already in their database.. But hey, its just my opinion |

Its not necessary, the highest point is what maximizes your chance, not two profiles. Check who will have the highest points between you two and let the person be the principal applicant. I noticed you didn't say he has ECA, if he hasn't done it and he will likely have more points than you if he does it, i will say you encourage him to do ECA for his qualifications. If he won't do it(some spouses are just coasting along, they are not very enthusiastic about it), then you have to be the principal applicant but his IELTS will boost your points a bit |

I need a bit of advise thou, is a printed online bank statement acceptable by CIC?

Would an online statement fly? @ JesusDWay & Solomonwis, I would really appreciate your torts on my question above. @ Zandora, can you please shed more light on the list of documents CIC requested from you when you received your ITA? you mentioned they requested a letter from your bank listing all your accounts and their start dates. |

Not taking a jab at you but it's good if you take time to go through what has been posted earlier on this topic. The leg work you need to do presently is to register for IELTS(General) and write the exam while at the same time, process your transcript to be sent to World Educational Services for evaluation to determine it's equivalency in Canadian education. When you have the two, you can then apply for Express Entry. You can in the meantime also go on www.cic.gc.ca to learn about Express Entry and it's requirements |

Nope! What I meant was that irrespective of where you studied, if your 2nd/ highest degree is in the same field, it'll save you time to evaluate the highest degree only but if they're different and you're applying under the NOC for the lower(st) one, then it makes sense to include the latter in the ECA report. Whichever the case, you'll still get the maximum points for the highest degree. It's the time factor and possible delays that you must consider. One thing I do know is that WES doesn't send verification requests to foreign institutions in the UK after receiving your transcripts from them. |
