Hello house, please I need clarifications on the following 1. I want to do my ECA, do I fill the form with my maiden name or my husbands name. I have already done newspaper publication for change of name.
2. Should I use maiden name or my husbands name all through the application (ECA, IELTS, PCC, MEDICALS.... ETC)

use the name that is on your international passport.

FSOFF:
use the name that is on your international passport.

Thanks so much

deeore:
hello fellow canandians..lol, please I have a question, is it compulsory to pay for the RPRF while submitting eAPR or one can pay for the application fee alone and then pay later for the RPR.

Not compulsory but if you have it now, why wait?

That way, there would be no need for them to ask you to pay again once your application is approved thereby removing unnecessary delay.

My opinion though.

I did all mine in my maiden name because that is what I have on all my credentials and international passport. You have to go with the name on your international passport and if it has changed to your married name then marriage cert will have to follow all your docs...

Please is it possible that there is a mistake on my IELTS result?

Listening: 8.5
Reading: 5.5 I just cannot believe this.
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 7.0
Overall: 7.0

This test is frustrating me. If I request a remark, is there any possibility of upgrading reading to 7 which will bring my CRS to 465

jelmusboy:
My CRS is not up to 400 with those parameters. That's why am asking on what to do

It has to be your IELTS scores. You may want to rewrite IELTS and aim for L8R7W7S7. Try to max out your IELTS points and see where that gets you.

emiye:
Yes, i think addition of spouse somewhat delays the process. My medical got passed after 34 days (March 6), AOR was on Jan. 31, i noticed those who submitted on the same day and in my stream passed in 29 /30 days (march 1/2). My first request letter was on March 1. I think the new trend in the last 1 month is that it is taking longer for medicals to be passed.

I see, I haven't even got Medicals passed. I was expecting it this week though based on comparisons with others in my stream. I guess it's because of the additional request. I will send documents on Monday and see what happens to medicals.

See, you really don't have much of a problem. You clearly have good English language skills as your scores are not exactly mediocre. I think you need a bit more work in Reading, it's something you can do. That test is full of traps to get you to falter, watch out for them and you'll be fine.
You could apply for an EOR but am not sure that will help. This is because your Reading may have been already rechecked due to the wide gap between it and other scores. So, your result may be unchanged after EOR.
Please don't despair,IELTS isn't out to get you.

In addition to the response you already got, make sure that Nysc work experience falls under NOC O, A or B in order to qualify for EE

@ lavivaavril & AZeD1

Hello, your response to NYSC experience relates to my wife's case.

I would like to know how would one be able to proof payment/salary during NYSC (as i read somewhere that it should be paid work/job if it must be used).

(1.) NYSC pays monthly though (i don't know if this account can be used) and hope this will not clearly show that it was NYSC/goverment paid allowances?
This is putting into consideration that the company worked for during the NYSC period didnt pay any salary.

What do you advice in this case?

I intend to be the one to show the POF (which will be in my account).

Please advice on this, thank you very much.

AZeD1:

NYSC is work experience as far as you can get reference letter.
Please remember you need at least one year experience to qualify for EE.

Thanks

You could get your account statement from the time you were a corper. Please note that you may have to go through a longer processing time when you claim points from NYSC experience as I think it falls under government employment. A lot of people on this forum have had that issue.

Biko make una no vex, who go school for FUTO wen don complete WES verification. How long e take you? I'm beginning to pull out my hair from WES' apparent inactivity. I need to know who verifies certificates when WES sends the request. How do they send the request, courier or email?
Pls epp me ooo.

If your wife is not claiming any point for the Nysc experience, then take it out.

Ok Thanks. @bolded. Maybe I will just try while I retake the test. So demotivating considering L7R7 in previous test

Evaluate MSC only using IQAS. Avoid WES if you don't have to use them. Please read up what others have said on IQAS for better understanding

Is it true that some provinces dont accept IQAS assessment?

boldinc:
No you cannot... Only General Training is accepted!

Hi @boldinc
I sent you a PM, did you see it?

AZeD1:

Please I believe you will be able to answer me.

How about someone who has been working as a [b]freelancer[/b]for close to 2 years now ?

Thanks in advance

I think you're meant to claim points based on the place of primary assignment as well as job role performed during that period, it's a bit tricky now that there was no salary payment from the company. Since you want to go with the alawee frm nysc, statement of account should do. I'm not sure if the fact that the payments weren't done by the company is a problem or not,others will input.

Emails bounce whenever I try to reply PMs...

Can you ask your question here?

keni:


Hi @boldinc
I sent you a PM, did you see it?

please gurus help!!!
can I use my contributory pension as a proof of funds. I have invested part of my money to treasury bills, I want to know if I can use my pension to make up the balance the bank handling my pension has assured me that it is possible for me to get my statement and also a cover letter indicating I have access to 25% of the total amount when I resign.
please advice accordingly.

Yes I think its true, but if you are not going through provincial nomination, you may not have to worry. Its a question of speed. If u need say Wes for your occupation in Canada like CPA accepts only WES ICAP ( For some internationally trained accountants) so IQAS won't fly for that purpose.

My advice is find out if your province will accept it if you are going through them. Otherwise, If all that u need is this ECA to get the ITA, IQAS is faster. You can always work on registering with your professional body once you get ur PR. One step at a time

Your proposal supported with a LOE looks good in my humble opinion. Please see the following page for discussions on this subject.

Oh God! I've been on this thread for over a day read all pages like there is no tomorrow.

The more I try to comprehend one term, or one abbreviation, the more I see another one to read and Google. my eyes are already itching me reading through hundreds of pages

Please, I beg can you just be my consultant? or any Guru in the house, please I need directions.

I am new. wanting to do Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) - Information system analyst & consultant (2171).

I just need to ask some step by step questions in other not to make any mistakes, I believe experience matters a lot in this.

Trust me, I won't trouble you.

It would be tricky because people who claim self employed have to show CIC documents. If you have a registered company, then you can use it but remember the company has to have been in existence for the number of years you are claiming.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could make a useful contribution to this my question. I used my University of Cambridge advanced level certificate to gain direct entry admission into the University, and upon completion of my undergraduate studies, I now have two certificates: University of Cambridge advanced level certificate and BSc. Do you know if WES or IQAS would evaluate these certificates as two or more certificates?

I emailed WES but they gave me a generic reply.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello.

Please is it acceptable if I obtain account statement for my funds (USD) in my dorm account and use that as POF or must the statement be for a naira account?

Also can one obtain statements for both naira and dollar account and use both as POF?

Thanks.
