If you feel your school will respond to a verification request from an evaluation agency based on the statement of result, by all means go ahead and pursue your ECA.

God bless you guys for this highly informative thread. Please I have a question concerning "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" under the level of education. Do I fall under this category with my BSc degree and Nebosh IGC?

Hi,

Since I am assuming you obtained your education outside Canada, you have to get it assessed using WES or IQAS in order to determine its equivalency to a Canadian education.

So if the outcome says your B.Sc is equivalent to a Canadian B.Sc., and your IGC is equivalent to a Canadian Diploma or Certification then you'd fall under the "Two or more certificate, diploma, or degree. One......".

You seem to have a good profile for a high score which could guarantee ITA as soon as you enter the pool. Yous should be able to claim 2 degrees or more with your ACCA, Canada which should not need an evaluation. But you will need to evaluate your Nigerian degree.

Use this link to check your CRS score: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

There are loads of YouTube videos and a few links mentioned here earlier to help study for IELTS. Also, when you register, you will get some links from British Council which was what helped me.

So... get going and All the best!

Thanks so much boldinc. Please do you mean I dont need evaluation for my credentials except my Nigerian degree?. Appreciate your response

Please I need help with explanations! I am a self employed veterinarian for 3yrs now and yet to write ielts for emigration purposes.i would really appreciate a response

Dear All,
Am I the only one being delayed by FUTA or we plenty here?
WES is waiting for me...what are my options?

@boldinc @vcole and @dupyshoo @iphie25 and all other guru people on the thread. please i need to make verification on POF. i have a family of 3 and looking at the exchange rate , that is about 6-7 million. now my question is do i keep this money on lock down (in an account forever) bearing in mind that an ITA can come any moment or if and when it comes i can pull all the resources together and have a detailed letter of explanation. please those who have done it how did you save your money and for how long?

Hello all. Good job you guys are doing here. I'll like know if i can apply for express entry and student visa simultaneously? Considering the refusal rate of student visa I want to use express entry as backup. Thank you cc @dupyshoo

It is better you keep the money intact. If you do, you will not need any LOE. Your POF will just be the letter from your bank or bank statements.

On the other hand, if you transfer lump sum to your account after ITA and you can explain the source of the funds with LOE and gift deed, it should not be an issue.

Good day AAOL,
You have a pretty good chance to migrate to Canada. Give it a shot!
Register and pay on WES Canada website.
Contact ACCA to send your transcript to WES (it is free and will be sent before close of business today)
If you live in Lagos, I can be your private tutor and help you with the materials you need.
Regards

No link for that. EE only requires one perosn as the PA. dupyshoo dropped a link a page or two back with info on the documentation needsed post ITA. Several applicants have used joint accounts for POF and have not had issues with it.

Was that the only thing written in your eca? usually they comment on the equivalency of your degree.

Jagadike:
Hello guys. Great job being done here.

Sent my masters degree for evaluation by IQAS on 19th dec, got a receipt confirmation on 22nd dec and today 18th jan I was sent my evaluation report as 'a 1 year graduate degree program'
Is above evaluation good to go?

Secondly, can one evaluate statement of result,If certificate isn't ready yet?

Will appreciate your feedbacks. Thanks

Try to read the first 5-10 pages of this thread and you should have a sense of direction. All steps are clearly outlined there. You should evaluate all your qualifications, bsc, acca and cpa or just your bsc and acca.

Hiyah, did you study in Canada or your education is in Canada?
If no, then I am sure with your details below, your CRS won't be up to that. The max. CRS score for a single person with MSc., 3 or more years of work experience, max IELTS score and less than 30 year old is 481. The max. score for a married person with the same details and with max IELTS score and MSc for the spouse is 484.

You can only get above these points if you have PhD/Canadian Education/Canadian work experience.

To be honest with you, you will likely require provincial nomination as you would have lost about 40 points due to age alone.

If you are interested, you might consider Australia PR. I studied Elect/Elect as well and I have seen a lot of Elect/Elect Engineers that have been successful with Australia PR. In fact, most Engineers find it easier than other professions. You can check my past post for the comparison between Australia PR and Canada PR.

Thanks brother

Hello everyone,

Please, Guru's in the house. I would like to know if adding an Mphil Degree will have any additional positive effect in WES Evaluation and my Express Entry Application. I've a BSC(Biochem), PGDE and MSC(Biochem) already. I have also written the IELTS exams since July last year with good score (overall: 8.0). But I just finished my Mphil(Biochem) Degree and waiting to collect statement of result by February.
I am 32yrs and Single. I am self employed with over 3yrs ICT working experience.

1. Should I wait to collect my statement of result (Mphil) before applying for WES so that I can include it or I should just ignore it since I have my MSC certificate.
2. Again can statement of result fly for the WES evaluation, since it is a new acquisition and certificate can't be ready until late this year.
3. Based on my above qualifications which province is best that I could possible apply to for PNP.

Thanks for your anticipated response.

1. Nope, you will not get extra score for Mpil
2. I think so, not sure though.
3. Why do you need PNP? With your qualification, age, good IELTS score (8.5,8, 7.5 and 7.5 in LRSW), you can have a CRS score of 466 (if you are single).

You are welcome. If the other certifications were gotten in Canada, you do not need to evaluate them, but if not, you need to.

Thanks for your prompt response. actually my IELTS score is 8, 9, 7 and 7.5. I have a CRS score of 549 (just check it now). I am still single.
As at when I wrote the IELTS exam I didnt know that my Mphil result will take this long to get ready. I would have done my WES ECA before now. Just complete 32yrs a month ago. Do I still stand a chance since they have already given out ITA? When will be the next ITA? let me know if I can make it.
I hope to start processing my WES Evaluation next month (When I am expecting reasonable cash).
Again as a self employed person who have never worked for anyone before (Schooling and hustling all this while) how do I make out document for proof of my working Experience. Although my business is registered with CAC (since 2013) but the cash flow is low.

I really need help on this now. If I had know since I probably will have taken a better move and been amongst those with ITA now **feeling bad**

So... I was at Alagbon today and successfully got the Police Certificate for my wife and I. It was pretty much straight forward, thanks to the help of an officer I met there.

The whole process took less than or about 30 minutes and wasn't expensive. If you are interested, I can give you the Officer's number for easier processing.

All the best guys!

You'll need to evaluate your ACCA too. It's important you do to claim Two or more Cert points.

How did you arrive at 549? Do you have Canadian education or work experience? If not, you can't have up to that. I will advise you check your CRS score again.
Draw happens mostly every fortnight. There will likely be another draw next week Wednesday. So, I will advise you get your ECA done as fast as possible while the cut off is still low. Who knows if the cut off will go up again just like last year.

I don't know much about employment reference letter as self employed. I will rather wait for people with more knowledge than I do to answer your question

sorry I made a mistake. It 459 not 549

Thanks for your response so far, I really appreciate. You are very kind.

Hello everyone,

Pls who will my reference letter be addressed to?

Do I write the IRCC Canada or Ghana address, and the make the topic "To whom it may concern"? Or I don't need to put the IRCC address at all?

Kindly help please.

Thanks

If you can get your supervisor to write it simply as 'To whom it may concern", that would be perfect.

Thanks so much Blackbuddy for breaking it down, I'll also definitely check the links.

Blackbuddy:


Your best bet is to start the process of adopting the child. The fact that the process may be long should not deter you from doing the right thing. Canada will not allow you move that child if he is not released to you through adoption process where you become the child's legal guardian and hold the papers to prove this. Start the process and include the adoption application papers to your application so that you pursue both PR visa and adoption at the same time. You can also fast track the adoption process as the boy is your husband's relative and this is Nigeria where the 'right incentive in the right place' will help you get it fast. Once adoption is complete, you update the Visa Office. Getting a family lawyer to aid you in the process will be a smart move, nairaland is not the best place to find advice on this sensitive issue.

Check out these links for more info on adoption process, http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/adoption-laws-of-lagos-state-practice-and-procedure.html
