Good evening.

Please how did you go about your ATS evaluation. Wes keeps telling me that they are unable to evaluate the certificate. I have sent both the transcripts and certificates twice to them but they keep rejecting it.

justbazick:
Congratulations...

For OINP, is it mandatory to submit 6 months bank statement. My POF is in mutual funds and planned using that only. Is this acceptable?

coolangel54:
Just a quick question: I have been practicing the IELTS but my major challenge in reading is the Paragraph Heading Matching, #crying#, I end up messing big time. The highest I have got so far from practicing is 7 but I am not encouraged at all because I need 8 upwards. To my question: I have one hour to write this part of the exam, is it possible for me to start from any part and maybe later move to the most difficult part of it? I just thought of this strategy and I need help from senior colleagues.

Please explain this verification very well. Aside what you pay at your university for processing and courier charges, what is the extra one hundred dollars for? Is it for the university or for WES? Secondly, please state the actual fee you pay to WES, I read here that the total is $237 (Standard delivery). Please throw more light in this verification palava. Lastly, why is IQAS different in terms of the $100 extra bill charge? Thanks

missade:

Linzo:

Pls help!! How do I pay for WES fees using the western Union online transfer?

revenant:


That $100 is for UNIPORT alone; they charge you that to verify your transcripts/certificates when they get the mail from WES for verification. Different schools in Nigeria have their own charges. Early last year it is was about 16k+ for verification (UNIPORT MSc), I do not know how much it is now. Thier contacts is readily available online you can get it and get first hand information.

Long post alert!!

My timeline below. Now I'd be as detailed as possible because I drew a lot of strength from the timelines of others and hope mine gets to inspire somebody.

IELTS - 30/9/17 LRWS 7.5,8.5,8,7.5 FIRST ATTEMPT
IELTS - 14/10/17 LRWS 8.5,7.5,8,8 SECOND AND LAST ATTEMPT
ECA - 23/01/18 (IQAS)
ITA - 26/01/18
AOR - 08/2/18
IP1 - 10/2/18
NA1 - 14/2/18
MEP - 18/2/18

IP2 - 27/2/18
PPR - 19/3/18

I started my ECA August 2017 after struggling to get my MBA result for masters I finished since 2015 so my battle started with getting statement of result first. Whatever your battle is it must pass.

For IELTS i used ieltsbuddy.com, ieltsessentials.com,ieltsliz.com. I used youtube mainly for listening cos after I had 7.5 for my first listening eye clear me and I had to burn that data and livestream practice modules.

ECA with IQAS can be crazy because the wait time is killing. I used them as I didn't want the wahala of going back to beg for verification especially as I no trust this NASU guys. They evaluated my Executive masters as canadian equivalent.

Now for POF I used Treasury bills certificate for about 70% of it while I used 25% of my pension fund to make up the balance. Half of the Tbills matured on 15th march sef and it had been running since October last year.
I didn't include my statement of account deliberately for personal reasons and I didn't also include any reference letter from the bank.

My employment reference letter is where my heart was thumbing as my employer look me for eye tell me say dem no go give me reference letter but God is not man and God pass man. You can imagine with 9yrs work experience. Thanks to post shared here I spoke with my immediate boss beg the guy tire and he now signed a reference letter on plain sheet, I notarized it and added his id card and mine. I included my to and fro mail with HR wey dem no gree give me the reference as evidence then included some work mails and payslip. I still dodge to include my account statement.

I had three UK visa refusals in the past, those guys almost messed up my self esteem but thanks to canada for my trouble God has given me double. I stated the refusals and included the refusal letters sef ( yea been keeping them since 2013 ). I also included schedule A.

For the passport for EAPR I didn't adjust nada na how I snap am for studio 24 in anticipation of PPR with the 50 mm x 70 mm dimension na so I upload am especially since the instruction said at least 35 mm x 45mm. I also uploaded my expired passport data page with stickers and stamp pages.

Now guys that's my story in summary and I hope it inspires someone that no matter the challenge facing you now in this journey be it ECA,IELTS,POF or awaiting PPR just remain focused,calm and prayerful and you would conquer. I never believed I would get PPR after 41 days despite all this my comma.

This thread has been immensely helpful and to think I read everything from thread 1 though I joined midway there, it can only be God. I encourage us to read extensively and do our own research too and as much as you can when submitting include every every.

Wonderful people too numerous to holla but God sees you all and would bless us in this journey.

IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISE, though the journey still continues.

follyzee:


With regards to your ECA, which did you upload? WES/ICAS. Just wondering

Linzo:

OK thanks, I have another question pls, do I need to pay WES any money for verification? Apart from the payments in my school here in Nigeria?

Vancouver4:
I had my speaking test today. I really do not know exactly how I feel at the moment. But I'm worried.

God please help me.

hifyty:
thank you all for rejoicing with me. I look forward to seeing many more PPRs today. @justbazick, For OINP I submitted 6 months statement although it is part of the requirements, the key thing is they want to know if the funds are easily liquidable and not borrowed. so if you are submitting a 3 months statement for example, you will need to state the reasons in your LOE and yes mutual funds are accepted. you need to be able to get a letter from your investment company clearly stating the current value of your funds and how much is withdrawable in CAD. whether this is acceptable to IRCC is a question for the elders.

Cheers!
