Good afternoon everyone.

Please Is there anyone who obtained a degree following a diploma from unilag and successfully evaluated his/her BSC/BA degree with WES. I received the status update on my Wes and don't know how to go about it.

Please note that I am not trying to evaluate my diploma. Apparently, the transcript shows from 200L-400L.

Thanks for the response in advance.

Hi guys, Newbie here.
I just want to say that you all are amazing and you're doing something beautiful with this thread.

By page 100, I was wondering why anyone would pay for an agent, the process is so straightforward and quite easy too.
By page 200, I certified myself competent and knowledgeable enough to open an immigration and travel agency

This thread is a goldmine of information and I just want to thank everyone who helped build it to this level, you're all awesome!!
may it end in praise

You are in the best position to decide on this and google is actually your best friend. Find out where your course is required and eliminate based on cost of living in that Province. This site might be useful https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Canada

hayor2014:


I have previously used that site and prices are relatively the same in most provinces,I have checked tax rates, checked housing rentals fee for Ontario(so expensive) against Manitoba(quite cheap but tax rate nah die and household cost get yearly increase like Lagos landlords),I need the experiences of people who are there to make a better informed decision.is it like Nigeria where all the jobs are in Lagos...what's the chances of getting a wonderful job if I don't wanna go to Ontario(population of 12 million when the whole canny population is 36 million)

Ethelia:


Maybe you should ask this question in the 'living in Canada thread'. You are likely to get more information from people actually in Canada

Ontop this canny waka...my guy whow graduated with a first class is thinking of doing pgd at NOUN.

The hustle for 2 or more cert is real o. He got ICAN but since WES does not give it a positive evaluation, he is insisting on doing pgd.

I already told him it's not possible but I need to be sure it's correct bcs for all I know it's people with 2'2 or lower that can enrol.

subzero007:

This is encouraging. Please dear I have a question which I know you might have an answer. What's the NOC for someone that has RN and RM from school of nursing and midwifery respectively? I want to be sure that my wife choses the best NOC for her qualifications. Thanks

Hello guys, thanks for this forum. I Don run come here. As US no wan hear word again o.

Please eehh. I wan start this canaanland journey.
I have my BSc in geology(2:2) (does class of degree affect CRS points or evaluation for WES end? If yes and I need to do more grad certificates. Should I continue in Geology or something else that has to do with my JD.

I work in an oil company, not drilling company though. But my Job description there is secretarial in nature, executive assistant to the group chairman.. So now I'm confused o. I have read through and through for ideas but I'm not seeing any. What NOC should I choose.

Also if one is not paid through bank.. What else can you show to verify work place.. Ejoor. God bless you all for the good work.

Hi all,

I just wt to add a caution note to all Distance Learning Candidates. Please oh please ...do not forget to add a Letter of explanation detailing that your program is a DL course- even if this is boldly stated on your transcript. We recently had our application cancelled for not providing the PCC for studies in a foreign country. Thankfully after raising cse, calling Ottawa, and praying (...enough prayers)...our application got reopened. This might help someone. Thanks to all our contributors � Naija for better if it had the community spirit we have here.

Isn't it funny how life is? Someone with HND and OND has more value (more points) than someone with a 1st class. In this journey, no difference between 1st class and 3rd class. Lol

QSola:


I think you meant someone with OND and HND compared with BSC cos there is first class in the polytechnic too.

mcstan18:


- Class of degree has no effect on CRS
- If you post your JD, we could help you match them to an appropriate NOC. An accountant in an oil company wouldn't search amongst the engineering-related NOCs. It's possible you're searching in the wrong areas.
- Employment letter, promotion letters (if any), e-mail correspondences (would be a more persuasive evidence if your official mail is hosted on the Company's domain), payslips etc

Talkingboy:

Newmum0615:

Ifeoma77:

Thanks bro, it will definitely get more interesting.
I'm going to pick up my new passport tomorrow and then register for IELTS with MOD.
They still have slots open for April 21 and the daredevil in me is considering it but I'll probably play safe and choose May 12.

gbemiigbal:


Thanks for this info. Sent my BA certificate and unofficial transcript through fax yesterday and saw a change in my ECA status saying "We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s)" within 18 hours. Though my MSc transcript which is more important is still on its way to WES. MSc was sent through EMS Nigeria

This group is awesome. I have learnt a lot from here!
NAGODE!!!!

How does this work out though. How is it possible? And why is the guy with first class looking to do another degree.

I think you are new to this whole thing right?
