My wife has a pending assessment with WES.

Please see reason provided by WES as the cause of the delay below;

"The document was not received from the institution or the appropriate examining body that awarded the degree/diploma as required by WES."

This was their further instruction: "Please arrange for your academic documents to be sent directly to WES by the institution or examining body that awarded your degree/diploma."

Has anyone been able to get WAEC to send their examination results for the Senior School Certificate directly to WES? Yes, takes 3 days to send it, i requested they use NIPOST, cos courier is another 7k-11k

Does WAEC respond to enquiries from foreign assessment bodies the way our universities issues transcripts? Oh yes, and they dont joke with WES correspondence.

Any useful contacts at WAEC please? You really dont need a contact, just follow the steps below, no one gives number there.

Hello House,

Please am in a delimma. If one claimed points for work experience say between 2013-2015 with a particular NOC. but currently works in a different company and totally different NOC, which he/she didnt claim points for, do the person need to upload ref letter for the current job(which he didnt claim points for)? Or jus add it to the personal records?

This is really impressive. Please I private mailed you kindly respond. Thanks

Since Wifey got the ITA, will focus on hers. She has a first degree and is a chartered accountant with ACCA. As at the time we applied around June last year, she had four years working experience and was 29 years old. She applied under 0 Noc.
Ielts score was L8.5 R8.0 S7.5 W8.0
We used Wes for ECA.

When we first applied, we did not add the ACCA, points were about 430-440, then we made some enquiries and found we could add that one as well. So we paid for an accreditation upgrade from WES and that qualified as another barchelors degree. We then updated the profile to two or more degrees and that pushed it to 473 points.

After her birthday, 5 points were automatically deducted to 468. With the new rules of work now counting for max of 200 points or 50, points now enough to get us the ITA.

IELTS was one attempt. Tips for those preping for ielts, practice makes perfect. There are many good sites for the listening test. Ieltsliz etc. I believe this is the most tricky because they do not replay the tape. So endeavor not to get lost. I got a 9 in this area.

For the writing, practice your writing, we are in a digital world and get to type more than we write these days. When we do write its just to scribble a few notes . Had my lowest score here but no need to retake as it was above the minimum of 6.

All the best.

NB: We did not pay any agent. Sourced every info online. Keeping tabs with Attorney David Cohen's news letters.

@ vcole: may have some que for you as you already ahead on the ITA process.

specrealq:
I got my ITA, congrats to everyone that got.
Please anyone know any trend, group or forum for those that have gotten ITA.

esosa4real:


Wow @boldinc congrats ooh, you really predicted your ITA last week...lol

@vcole @ugoiyke79e @dupsyshoo @iphie125 See as ITA dey pass me by oooh, chaaaaii I am hopeful sha but scared at the same time that the draws might go very up soon! Anyways I have to wait on ma 2nd ielts result on the 20th and 1st ielts remark in march.

BTW, I wanted to ask if anyone knows the right body to evaluate a MED LAB degree. I want my fiancé to start the process but don't know if WES is allowed. I checked the ECA section of the CIC website and only special considerations is given to Medicine and Pharmacy for which the evaluating bodies are MCC and PEBC respectively.

So please if there is anyone that has info about Med lab degree evaluation, they should help me out.

dupyshoo:
Yes, don't put BSc. under education if you did not evaluate your BSc. If you do, you will be asked to submit ECA number for it.

You should however put it under personal history to avoid misrepresentation.

vcole:
She can fill the details of her bsc and tick that there is no eca for it. It won't generate a slot for that if she does. I think this is what i did for my husband's bsc if i'm not mistaken.

Garykasparov:


I have said it countless times here, and others have reiterated/confirmed it that WES assessment of ICAN is waste and very unfavourable. Myself and spouse are both chartered accountants, though i am ACCA but she is ICAN. Even though i went through a seamless effort to assess my ACCA, i went thru hell assessing her ICAN, at the end, she added only "2" points to my CRS. i was really desperate to increase score that time, if only i knew the draw scores were going to crash.

WES will assess your ICAN but will not give it a canadian equivalency, however, to avoid your loss, they will request you send WAEC to them to atleast give you an assessment, which in their thoughts, is a clear equivalence to canadian high school.

Hmmm...WAEC, their process is still very archaic.
You have to visit their office at Yaba, beside yabatech. Go to the inquiry office adjacent the gate. The process is quite cumbersome, (#10,000, copy of GCE or WASSCE (if before 1998 another wahala, passport photo, affidavit e.t.c) but there is a woman opposite the WAEC building, that woman na angel, she is aware of all the requirement and will make life easy for you.

My advice is that since you have started it, you have to complete it ( Jumanji evaluation )

See direct response to your inquiry above.

Hello House.

I've a B.sc in Engineering and i've over 5years working experience in the banking industry as cashier. Must my NOC be related to my academic qualification to avoid rejection?.If i choose my job duties, will it not be a problem since i can not back it up with my certificate?

Please, I need your candid answer and opinion.

Thanks in anticipation to your answers..

temitope06:


this is serious dilemma, infact you will be charged to court because this is a conspiracy to kidnap points from Canada, i'm kidding bro. You just need reference for what what you claimed points for, rest shd be thrown into the personal details garbage can.

Congrats vcole....
your case has proven that Drs dont necessarily need to be licenced before they can get PR....I recall asking this pertinent question when i first got on this thread...
Esosas PPR loading too....
I encourage those of us who are young medical professionals to go for it especially now.
let us ask questions here and vcole esosa and myself can always help with answers concerning medical ECA..
Congrats once again vcole....u ve been very helpful and patient with questions here..

platypelloid:
Heloo bosd
You mentioned that doctors don't need to be licensed before getting PR?
That is not true. You wouldn't even get across SVR. NOT TO TALK OF SVR.

Gymme:
Lol...bros, where is your proof oo?

I did the process for my wife (till she got ECA report) and i can tell you that you DON'T need to be licensed before getting PR. You only need to evaluate your degree through physiciansapply.ca using SVR, then proceed with the other steps.

To get licensed in a province as an IMG, i believe you know that one needs to write atleast MCCEE (depending on the province and the new regulations coming up soon 2018/2019)?

So bro, for this PR thingy, you don't need to write any MCC licensing exam. Just pay the fees at different stages to getting your ECA report from MCC.
