I doubt if WES would evaluate your certification based on what is on their site as seen below. The only exception I have seen so far is ACCA. You can goggle to see if anyone has successfully gotten an evaluation otherwise let it go.

Does WES evaluate work experience?
WES evaluates formal secondary and post-secondary academic credentials only. WES does not assess professional designation, professional competence or experience.


freeradical:

Thanks Patrick. How do I go about evaluating a professional certificate with WES. When I tried to the drop-down list I saw for type of degree/diploma did not have anything like diploma on it

Thanks 40manlappy. You are truly (1+39=40)men (lol) as i see you responding to almost all questions with so much interest. My wife says her office (a bank) has no problem issuing references.

Welcome bro. It's just a moniker cheesy

Good to know your wife can get the reference.

Whao, not heard of certificate verification o, WES and them wahala. As per ACCA, they just accepted what ACCA sent to them in my case without any verification and then they requested for my transcript verification for Naija school. I can imagine your frustration cos I was in your shoes. Sent them over 30 tweets in less than a month and some interesting DM's grin. Was praying to God to cancel every spirit of delay cos I was so frustrated after ICAS drama spending over 11 months waiting for my ECA. Eventually God took over and they responded via Twitter that my case as been marked as urgent as I wont let them rest every minute on twitter. The ECA got ready the next day. They even notified me on twitter to check my status that it should have changed to completed. When I logged on, it was true grin.

Like I always say, if you dont have to use WES or ICAS FLEE!!!!!! angry In your case you needed two or more certificates and your ACCA made u use them. Lets trust God for the best

Thinking of it well, If WES delays so much with Naija transcript, should one not just do ACCA with them and then IQAS for Naija degree?, its more expensive but more relaxing. You dont have to use the same body for both degrees.

I pray your case gets resolved on time cos you are kinda stuck with them and you can only trust God to intervene, So sorry about your experience. sad







browndoll:
I wish I had done a proper review of WES before engaging their services.i have missed several ITAs because of them.
I started evaluation since February 11 th,all documents from me and my uni and acca sent.last week they asked for a letter of confirmation from acca and certificate verification from ABU Zaria(which cost 18k for verification and 16k for courier).ABU sent both soft copy and courier which was delivered on Monday this week. Only for me to get a mail tonight that not only is my certificate verification pending,they are requesting for a TRANSCRIPT verification now!!! I am so angry right now because getting these documents from ABU is so expensive not to talk of the time wasting.i have been doing everything they ask just to be able to take advantage of the low scores and WES is making my life a living hell
Wish I had the funds to start IQAS at least I heard they have sense there.
BEWARE OF WES PEOPLE!!! They will frustrate you and you have no customer service there.useless organization

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 11:48pm On Apr 21, 2017
Hi

My honest response is that the Speaking and Listening has to be switched for it to make great sense. You need a minimum of 8 in listening as the principal applicant. If you could achieve this at first attempt, you will only need some extra efforts to ace it the second time.

Please verify to check your actual listening score.

All the best

QuantumK:
Hi people, I wrote my exams also on April 8, 2017 and i have seen my result online.

Speaking - 8
Writing: 7.5
Reading - 7
Listening - 7

I hope this works for my express entry application. To be honest , I didn't prepare at all. I kinda took it for granted

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Bimpsy99: 12:03am On Apr 22, 2017
Pardon?? Dont mistake IQAS for ICAS as they are different bodies. IQAS is the recommended one, https://www.alberta.ca/iqas-immigration.aspx. Its been discussed extensively on this thread. Payment is made at inception before you get the reference number which would be used for the evaluation

Hello people,

This is quite an interesting thread I must say. Thanks to the gurus in the house for all your wise counsels, beautiful suggestions and awesome pieces of advice. Please I need your input in choosing the most appropriate NOC code for a Customer Service Officer in the bank (those people in banks you meet for ATM cards and stuffs).

I've been going through the list but couldn't find it. The closest I saw on NOC was 1114 = other financial officers but the job descriptions aren't similar.

Again, I studied computer science but have this job role for over 5years now. What should I do concerning the code? Secondly, must my educational qualification be in tandem with my job? Please help.

Brought up this post for people who feel that reading and listening cant be bumped up cos its objective. This person got a 1 mark bump in listening. The question is are you willing to take the bold step and do you believe you should have scored higher if it were properly marked?

Hello House,

I would like to thank @vcole @dupyshoo and other members that offered advice especially concerning my IELTS test i took on 29th October 2016. After EOR which took exactly 10 weeks, my scores increased by a band.

Former Scores: LRWS- 7.5,7.5,7.5,8
After EOR: LRWS- 8.5,7.5,7.5,8

Here's my issue, my name was not included among the convocation list, so i can't get my Masters certificate OFFICIALLY till next year January (so annoying angry cos i fulfilled all graduating conditions well before the list was drawn). They promised me a letter "in lieu of" which i don't think will suffice for ECA.

This sets my score at 426 (instead of 465) without the Masters (i'll be 31 years in 2 weeks, married with over 7 years experience). Should i go ahead with the ECA with my B.Eng. OR/AND try for a PNP?

Wifey's IELTS scores were lower, going to clock 30 in April, doesn't have a Masters degree/2 certificates either, so i guess she's not a better PA.

Thanks in anticipation everyone.

Good morning,
Please, I need help with making a decision. I am in the EE pool with 401 score and I received NOI from Ontario. Written ielts 3 times in search of 8 in listening. Latest ielts score is LRSW 8.5, 5.5, 7, 7

1. Should I accept NOI and apply for PNP?
2. Should I retake IELTS... 4th time or request re-mark for reading? Or,
3. Should I be hopeful scores fall to 401 in next 2 draws if it continues to fall at present rate?

This my small head wants to blow up. Help pls!

without your spouse's ECA & IELTS, this is a good CRS going by the current trend. so you should be expecting an ITA next draw. Meanwhile start gathering info on the necessary documents needed for the application.

People should be using transfer...British Council's account number isn't static here: let's use $$$$$##** for example...dollar sign represents d city u wanna do d test,d two hash signs epresent d month u want to take d test and 2 asterisks represent d last two digits from ur passport.

After u have written the N68,000 in words, put a comma and write ur full ref number with hyphens, put a hyphen and write ur full bame.
Account holder: British council.

No need to dhl a thing or hassle to their offices. Even Ikoyi isn't easy for Lagos folks. And d queue there is annoying as they understaff d customer service desk. I think they wonder why we still bring in draft. I told them to go and educate d banks and their staff.

Some banks or branches don't know jack on this..so after getting ur code which is the acct number u will input, print off this attached file for convincing them that bank draft is d difficult costly old method. Even GTB at Adeyemo Alakija had no clue until I taught them.
