Good morning fam, I encountered a little challenge during certificate evaluation with IQAS, a rep mailed me to state that my certificate wasn't clear (a part of it which shows the grade and date seems to be fading because of the material used for that part). I was asked to scan and send a clearer copy to the rep which I did, I tried to make it clearer by dimming the lights while scanning, I'm yet to get a response from them and the 30 business days has since elapsed. Any advice on what next to do? I've started the process of requesting for a new certificate from my alma mater tho. Seniors please help out here

Saintp:


Are you saying that for a Nigerian degree, IQAS is better?

It appears so, especially for government owned universities in Nigeria based on the experiences that has been shared on this forum so far. Some have been on strike for months.

With IQAS, you know that barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will get your ECA in 30 working days. Mine was done in 9 working days early this year.

The challenge with WES is that most Nigerian institutions don't respond to enquiries on time.

However, if you have attended a private university in Nigeria and they have a vibrant workforce, you may explore WES. Of course, in all cases, follow-up is necessary.

CIC States that pharmacist with work experience in Pharmacy should evaluate their Bpharm degree via PEBC. It's a long and expensive process but doable, koko is to give them what they want and in 8 weeks get your report . Pebc will evaluate the degree as a professional degree while IQAS and the rest evaluates it as a Bachelor degree.
If one is the PA I will advice such person to use pebc to avoid possible rejection

Thanks for taking your time to explain to me. I appreciate. I will go with IQAS since I attended a federal university.

elfmann:

Is it shorter with foreign degrees at WES?

40manlappy:


Ok. Which University did you attend?

There could be a few exceptions to the rule though. Some have shared on this thread how their institutions responded to WES promptly. So the problem is not WES.

Yours could be an exception....

GoldenJem:
Good day everyone I wish you all a very fulfilling week as far as our Canada Journey is concerned. I have the following questions:

1. I did my PCC in Benin through the State Police Headquarters which they processed to Alagbon and they gave me after two days. I hope it's ok. The coloured certificate says issued in Benin but it has a stamp of Central criminal registry Lagos.

2.The part on the coloured certificate where it says the certificate was issued for the holder to travel to (dash)......... was not filled though I filled Canada on the white finger prints form hope no issues with this.

3. The PCC was given to me on 22nd June and my ITA is August though not yet expired I hope I can still use it.

4. In completing the PR application under other Family members is it ok to add the names if ones immediate family traveling with you like spouse and children to other Family members like brothers sisters, father and mother and repeat same for spouse and children.

Thanks

FUTO. What do you think? Thanks

Dammiehar:


Yes, Its 30 working days after all documents are received and it doesn't matter where the degree was obtained. The assessment of my UK degree took about 23 business days/33 calendar days after all documents were received.

@elfmann WES takes shorter time with foreign degrees, most especially from developed countries, cos they don't really go through all those verification wahala, unlike naija degrees.

Canadianfly:


We have to get it from RCMP. We need to use a channeler though and pay for the international package is you live outside Canada. Where in Canada did you reside before?
Go to the RCMP Website there's a link for what approved agencies to use. RCMP processes the request in 72 hours though and you have the report so no need to get it now until ITA. Except yo want to get all your documents ready now so when you are ITA, no delays.

Please how can i register for the one in Abuja

If I were in your shoes, I would err on the side of caution. I dont enjoy being worried.
I would re-do the pcc and get one from Alagbon properly filled. U still have tym...
Infact, the destination " Canada" is even type written in mine. I didnt go to Lagos.
You can do as advised and send your thumbprinted forms to lagos either via a friend or through trusted staff contacts shared here by people whose applications have gone through to ppr.
This is my own opinion....u may wish to do or not.....

I dont really undastand u # 4 question. could u make it a bit clearer?

MummyJaygirls:


You better go with Iqas unless u have someone that can help u following up between wes and ur school. I think someone is having issues on here now

40manlappy:


Maybe you should "jejely" go with IQAS. They don't require additional verification apart from the transcripts that the institution sends.

You can use the Search button at the top of this page to Google what others have said about FUTO/WES matter. Look out for the post of "Winchman" in the link below.

I thought applicants who have lived in Canada did not have to submit a police report unless IRCC requests for it.
