Thanks sir. But there isnt any seal or stamp it was cellotaped in a Lasu envelope and addressed to a company and i have opened it.

As long as the transcript is signed, sealed and stamped, you can send it to IQAS yourself. Use DHL. Have someone else do it on your behalf so your name is not the sender. You should be fine.

They want the school to send it to avoid fraud. But they know what they are looking for (stamped, signed, sealed). Even if you school sends it and the seal is broken (often by reckless NIPOST, if you use them), they still won't collect it.

But if the seal is broken, don't even bother. They'll reject it and insist you send another.

Did I see speaking as 9? . Abeg, wetin you speak for there?

Don't be discouraged. Take heart from bigfido s story. I think someone posted a few days ago that SINP had opened.

Yes, speaking is 9. That's why I am surprised at the writing as well. I am not doubting the Listening. Living a French speaking country has dulled my English, to be honest.

Seal in question here is already broken! S/he opened the package on receipt.

I have a suggestion Can you try to also write TEF? Check what your score will be if you have listening as 8 and reading as 7.5. You may not need PNP. Just practice the IELTs. Where did you write the exam?

Seyitorl:


Thanks sir.
i will check d others out. I thought it cheaper.

Initially they lost my application form, then came thier strike issue and then courier service messed up.i kept goi g back nd forth before i got it.it seems my village pipu wan try.
Do you have any idea if i can be reapply for another to be sent to wes directly?cos i dont think institutions issue transcrpit twice.( My thought though.) what would you suggest i do sir?

Haven't you already paid for IQAS?

Canadianfly:
So I haven't really written how far with me coz work and pikins had person hand full. My 1st attempt of IELTS last month was 7.5 in Listening and I knew I had to register again plus WES decided to sit on both my degree and Oga's own. Anyway, I took the 14th October test in Abuja....those who took it that day knew what we went through with regards getting everything to work and we left the venue at almost 3pm.
My results today:
Listening - 9
Reading - 8
Writing - 7.5
Speaking - 8.5

Overall band 8.5. Just glad I'm done with British council . And I'm very grateful to God.

Nice results! Congrats. Pool dey wait.

Yeah. Saw that after I posted

Then by all means, you should write TEF.

Dear everyone, i just updated my husband's score in my profile but it keeps showing update not submitted and my score remains the same. Please help

Make sure you sign at the end after submission.

Even if s/he have paid, transcript is still in Nigeria. That's 9 weeks processing time excluding time for IQAS to acknowledge receipt (which can be up to 4 weeks). I'd rather go with cancellation, request refund and use the money on another body. Only if degree in question is not Law though.

This is interesting.. Can you share your profile.
There might be another dimension to this CRS Scores

lilyandie:

I kinda disagree, the result is pretty good, You need to calculate your score and that will help you decide
I had reading 8, Listening - 7.5, Writing 7 and Speaking 8 and I still got 458 total. Waiting for PPR now

Thanks for the prompt response. The thing is I have no clue how to go about it. My ielts just came out this morning. While I doubt some of the score, I am not in the mood to contest or rewrite.

I am currently waiting for Uniport to send a verification to wes, and also waiting for my school in France to send my degree and transcript for MSC. Lots of waiting. At this point, I am confused.

I had calculated 445 for my CRS. I don't know why I am seeing 400.
I am 31, MSc Food and Agribusiness Management. Single. NOC 1122 (Professional occupation in business management consulting). 3yrs experience.

Tensions are high. Trying to concentrate at work now.

The best suggestion I have got for you is to retake the IELTS whilst waiting on your ECA. You sound like you'll ace it on second attempt. You'll just need to do some bit more practice.

For those who may wish to request for a copy of their previous UK Visa Refusal Letter from Nigeria. Send your request to Admin.ReviewAbuja@fco.gov.uk

Someone please help me. I'm new on this thread.

Does being a practicing lawyer in Nigeria have an added advantage for the immigration process?

What will be my highest level of completed education? Can my BL certificate be an equivalent of masters or entry to practice professional degree?

Thank you!

Kindly shed more light on how you arrived at your CRS. This may be beneficial to every other person with a less than 8 score in listening. I used the tool with your IELTS as stated and assumed the following:
Age- less than 30
PhD degree
3yrs max work experience
CRS=432 and I later assumed you have sibling in Canada and CRS=447

YES @bolded. But your evaluation MUST be done by IQAS

Lol. I was actually doing the same thing.
Couldn't arrive at the score.

And I'm not so sure OP has a PhD.

Maybe he/she is married----got additional points from the spouse's ECA+IELTS.

I saw the bolded... #justsaying

thank you so much for that. I have goggled the meaning of IQAS and have an idea of what it's about.
But please, it means having to make some extra payments doesn't it?

GlitteringStar:

Tried it with spouse too with masters and Max IELTS score. Didn't work. I guess he can come clarify. This case will help many others.

I'm good.

Even with spouse ECA+IELTS, except either PA or spouse don school or work for Canada before. That's the only thing I've not considered

The implication of less than 8 in listening is a whole 50 marks loss under skill transferability

I think they have issues, the tab to sign not displaying. Website update i guess, last last, i will withdraw the profile and do another. Thanks

The only explanation I see from using the basic things is switching the scores of listening and reading. If you switch those, you see huge implications. Maybe OP gave one for the other.

Even at that, you need 8.5 on listening to max out skill transferability.

@Lilyandie, kindly come and clarify ooo.


I hope he or she didn't miscalculate

Congrats to all with required IELTS scores, for those who couldn't make it this time please do not tarry, no time for that. (I know it's not easy but try biko). Congrats to Hephgirl on your ITA next draw.

Santino1:

Naaaa. 8777 in LRWS plus 2 or more certificates/Masters/PhD plus 3yrs maximum work experience will give you maximum skill transferability 100/100

Na the same rope tie those two

Santino1:

Yeah true. But you really don't need max of 8.5 if you've got a masters. 8 will do mostly.
