I spoke to the director of the consulting firm in my Uni. He said that age appears on all transcripts they send out. they are the ones charged with the responsibility of sending the transcripts from the university to wherever its meant to go.

i am super worried. i would like them to use the age on my international passport.

Farefare:

How did you find out about this? Did you see your transcript before it was sent?

5Kay:
My people, good day.

Please my transcript was sent to IQAS with a different age while my international passport carries a different age. I didnt know transcripts bear ones age, now i'm troubled as to whether it will affect my ECA already paid to be assessed by IQAS.

Please if anyone here has had similar issue pls advice on next step and/or best option. I appreciate the help.

I guess they had given you a copy of the transcript.

Well, it will affect your ECA.
ECA report carries the DOB of the applicant. From experience WES and IQAS had been known to choose the one on the transcript even though you might have filled a different DOB on their application form.
I am in the same shoe as you. There is not much of an advice anyone can give. Unless you can somehow effect the change in DOB from your institution and then get a new transcript across to IQAS.

All I can tell you is don't be super worried. Either you follow my advice above or you use what you have. Nothing is perfect. Be positive

Hello guys, congrats to all new PPR recipients. I have just two questions for now because I'm begining to have doubts even though my ECA and IELTS is in progress.

1. Does someone who has been denied UK Visa thrice stand a chance to get PPR? and the visa refusals were for funny reasons like large sums paid into account and no clear ties to a friend who sent an invite.

2. For a banker with over 5 years experience in operations having worked in all departments concerned with ops duties, which NOC is advisable because I can't find any suitable under NOC A, B and C. Let it not be after all efforts one won't now find which NOC to fit himself.

Pls assist.

1. This does not affect your application in any way. Not unless you lie about it.

2. noc 6235 seems to be perfect. It depends on your role actually. Check these too 0122, 1434, 1114

Thank you

Thanks Bimpsy99.

I second this advice and even for LL.B holders, using IQAS is not a must. WES evaluation can be used to claim professional degree, I will post further on this when I can attach CIC's position.

IQAS is a no no going by their recent trend..sigh

Bimpsy99:
They are turning into ICAS. N.a. so those one increase site to 28 weeks. Please refer to the amendment on my post on them in page 1. Abeg fresh applicants use WES jeje except you know your school won't respond to verification email in a month or two.

WES has been consistent with 20 business days(as per thier website)..shame on IQAS .

Congrats @remyjx @solos007 and @ymummy234.

PPR rain was good for Naija ppl.
Looking at your timelines makes me smile. I dunno about Sydney being slow...bcz i refuse to accept defeat.

Bsides...most of d people here got to IP2 around the 3weeks to 1mnth timeline from NA2. so i blive ours wont b different @deeore @noviolence @mrsbee @yokus #teamnajuly25/26

Dotcman:


Thank you

Trying to contact British council via phone calls, email or any of their social media platforms is a waste of precious time. They are still in the stone age. Its best for you to find time to go there if you can. It will be sorted out on the spot.

@DatechMan and 5kay...
I have actually been a silent reader hoping not to go back to ghost mode. If you search for Ugoiyke you will find where he answered someone on this same question....even if it appears on the ECA, you can fill in the DOB on your passport and write an LOE explaining to the VO the discrepancy, you can also add a sworn affidavit in addition if it makes you more comfortable

Hi guys,

My "additional docs are still being reviewed" when background, eligibility and final decision have been concluded (see attachment).

Just to remind you all not to be bothered about CIC updates. It might still be showing NA2 when Background check is already on.

The important thing to wait on is the PPR mail and it will come soon.... To all those waiting....

It is well

Dotcman:


Thank you

Justiyke4u:
I'm sending mine from absu and I'm using IQAS. I called someone to inquire and she said the transcript is N20,300 and courier is N11,150 but I'm yet to go to school

Are you around that area? Please let me know whenever you go in person. Thanks

Pls assist.

For a start, please keep a positive mindset.
To answer your questions:
1. Visa denials, however many, don't really affect your chances at all as long as you are honest about them in your application. Exception may be if you were denied on criminal suspicion or fraudulent grounds. So I guess you don't have a problem there.
2. I think your job duties as a banker will likely fall under NOC 0. Please check job titles under that code that have similar job duties. Once your job duties match about 70%, you're good to go. There are several bankers just like you on this thread who already have PPR or PR visas and I'm sure a few will throw in some useful tips for you.
Oga, u no get problem at all.

Congratulations @solos007 @ymummy234 and @remyjx

MummyJaygirls:


Everyone take note at the bolded, those about to assess their docs can try them out.

Trikings2000 would u be kind enough as to tell us their process exactly, thanks

https://www.bcit.ca/ices/eca/
Using the link quoted find comprehensive details of what is required.

Summary of requirements
1. Scanned filled copy of application form
2. Identification. Passport or drivers license or birth certificate
3. Marriage certificate (if married)
4. Certificate(s)
5. Transcript to be sent by institution

Fillout the application form, have it signed and then together with other required documents send a mail or email to the specified email address as designated on the link.

Ensure you specify mode of payment (credit/debit card preferrable) and choice of delivery (courier or mail) on the application form. A sample filled form is available to guide you while filling the form.

An app ID number will be sent to u in abt 5days with payment details (how to effect payment).

You can begin processing ur transcript to their address as specified on the link even before payment is requested by ICES.

Review begins after they recieve your transcript. Of course they recieve other documents instantly if sent via email.

Tracking code of package sent to ur email after review.

No VERIFICATION REQUIRED.

I hope this helps

Trikings2000:


Why is everyone bent on using IQAS and WES. I used ICES (BCIT) and got it less than 4 weeks after they received my documents. That was abt 1.5months ago.

The only con is that that they dont send a soft copy, rather u are sent 2 hard copies.

Okay. Thanks for the info.

superdoll:



Hmmm. Mine was recieved on 24th of last month. No acknowledgment yet. I called and dey told me it's not been updated. I asked wat I shuld do dey asked me to wait it out that if I haven't got an email acknowledgement it means dat dey haven't reached the date which my docs were recieved. Infact dat dey aren't in the same building with people sorting out mails so can't even confirm for me. I tire for iqas...1 month no acknowledgment. I never even start to count my 6 weeks

IQAS isnt it again. By the way, processing time is now 9-10weeks not 6 weeks.

Wura27:

Wow how did I miss this?!!! Finally, congratsssss! Another new recruit, quickly come join us in "Living in Canada"

Yes ooo, joining you on the next side immediately. Submitting passports first thing tomorrow morning, I have everything all ready!

@blingyrie thank you so much for the kind words.... I am still floating in the euphoria

Abbylee:
I have WES and POF sorted. Do i really need to write IELTS? He has 478 points, though i understand points won't change after he submits his application.

no u dont. you are good to go.

DereI:


Try to make contact with someone in your exams and records who will hasten the WES response process from your school...if not, that one na another delay.

And pray make ASUU not strike again...

ASUU strike doesn't affect transcript. It is NASU that does.

Farefare:

This is serious. I started when it was 15 days and am yet to receive my ECA.

#Singing "You are not alone".

What a ppr shower today!!
Congrats @remyjx @solos007 and @ymummy234.
Oya oooo unto nxt stage...

If any of u reside in or around PH, pls quickly register on www.planningforcanada.ca then request for a spot in the IOM session here in PH..

Thank you so much. such a relief. however, i will be sending another transcript to iqas hoping to effect a change on the DOB by any means necessary.
