[quote author=cheromel post=67906079]Goodevening everyone,
After filling our application form and uploading our documents, we tried to make payment using our Standard Chartered domiciliary account VISA card and it had declined 3 times even though we have sufficient funds in the account. Please what could be the problem. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you resolve this? [ /quote]

Chai no response. Somebody please Help. Anyone? Those who have paid for their application, please help. What other banks or suggestions do you have. Thanks.

Try GTB. I had the same issue when I tried paying for UK PCC.

Olha:
Please i need a clear answer on which of these documents can someone use in lieu of certificate for WES verification? Especially for UNILAG graduates

a. Statement of results
b. Attestation letter
c. Notification of result

For Unilag please use Attestation, statement of results comes out listing all your courses and scores. WES may take it for transcript. I used Attestation/English as a medium of instruction letter from them and it was evaluated. Though I stated when faxing the document that the Certificate is yet to be issued.

Hello everyone,

Please i need answers to the following questions:

1. After my school replied WES verification email, my status changed to "In progress" and after a day it changed back to "On hold", aside from the transcript and certificate, they added another document known as "Verification Fee Pay Up Letter" (Received document awaiting verification), does anyone knows what this "Verification Fee Pay Up Letter" is all about?

2. Apart from degree certificate and transcript, does WES request for other personal information of the candidates from their respective institutions?

Thanks

Come and help us to do it.

To the best of my understanding, I think your school is charging WES in order to verify your transcript. You may have to step to your school to clear things up and probably pay for the verification because WES doesnt pay any school a dime.

May I ask, what school is it?

Hello House,
Kindly help confirm this please; For those who have been able to escape WES verification recently, is it true that WES no longer receive verification through email again except hard copy? Someone just told me that, and I heard that Unilag has sent replied my verification mail in the last one week but yet to see an update on my WES profile. I need info on this please, so I can advise my schools appropriately on what to do next.


Thanka all.

No disadvantages if ur points are up to 440. Read page 0.

I registered a lawfirm with my spouse and I'm a director but no payslip, we just share the money as whenever it comes. Can I use this as work experience since it was registered in 2015? Can my spouse write a reference letter for me?

Except this started within the last 2 weeks because my transcript was verified on the 6th of May by mail and it was accepted. My ECA was completed on Friday 25th May. I have the PDF copy with me right now.

Please have you done verification with Unilag? It seems my verification mail has entered voicemail o. Any contact to help with verification please?

Is completing vfs consent form compulsory??

- if you opt to pick up your passports yourself from vfs? Do I still have to pay the courier fee of #8060??

- is imm008 compulsory if ur family unit has not changed?

- how long does it generally take from ip2 to ppr?

oga TEECANN help me now make my own end in joy too

My Story...Long Post!

I heard about Express Entry in 2016 and initially thought it was a difficult thing to venture into. A colleague of mine from work showed me it was possible in March 2017. He introduced me to this thread, it was Part 1 then and he urged me to read the 800+ pages as he had done. . My initial fear was IELTS, I see English Language as a difficult language...lol. When an international body assess your knowledge of English you will know that it's not this our moin-moin English. IELTS did not fall my hand. I knew I had to relearn a lot of things.

I started my ECA in July 2017 with IQAS, I did not have time for WES verification wahala. UI was fast with the processing and my contact person was just too nice. I got my ECA report in October 2017.

I braced up for IELTS when i booked the Oct 14th test. I registered late and had between Benin and Enugu test centres to choose from. I went with Benin, i could not write the test on another day because i had taken a 5-day leave from work and hubby was going to be available to write on that date. So we travelled to Benin from Ijebu ode with our 8 month old baby, booked a hotel and wrote the test in Protea hotel. I was very optimistic that i would smash it, hubby was not sure of his speaking and listening. The results came out I was greatly disappointed.

My score - LRSW - 7.5, 9, 7.5, 7.5
Hubby's - LRSW - 6.5, 8.5, 7, 7.5

After crying i booked for the next available date, Nov 11th in Abeokuta. I knew i had to find time to write that test as i run shifts and had exhausted my leave. Luckily for me, my speaking date was on Friday and LWR on Saturday. I was supposed to be on Night duty on Thursday and Friday. I practically did not sleep for 48 hours straight because i did a 1 hour trip to abeokuta straight from work twice for the two tests. I had my personal effects - toothbrush, soap, clothes, etc in my bag, it was exhausting. I was almost late for the LRW, there were just about closing the doors when i scurried in. After the test, i was not very optimistic. I was busy counting how many answers i was not so sure of and they were up to 7 . I had to use a knowledge of what i understood from the recording to answer the multiple choice questions (guess work). I came back really sad.

My result - LRSW - 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7. I thanked my God and jumped into the pool at 436 on the 1st of Dec.

I was waiting for hubby's ECA to place us at 444 and my 3 years work experience in Feb 2018 to place us at 472. Alas, on the 1st of Jan, i logged on and saw our CRS score at 469 . I raised alarm o because ITA was knocking on my door and GS advised me not to submit my application even if i get ITA until my 3 years work experience fully matures...Bless her.

ITA came on the 10th of Jan then the struggle began.

POF: we did not want to use gift deed until we exhaust all our options, we were just gathering our money small small we had the complete money on the 1st of March (our salary and savings). I got my friend who is also my account officer to help me get the letter in CIC format. She said it would take 2 days as it would have to go through their legal department because it was not the norm. I said okay and gave her a draft of what i wanted. I combined the sample i think Newmum posted and one i got from canadavisa forum. The letter came through, i did not read it to see that they put the wrong account balance in one of the months, thank God hubby pointed it out and it was corrected.

Reference letter: I had obtained one reference letter in July 2017 from my HR friend at that time and i was prepared to use it. But a debate ensued on this thread about the validity of work reference letters especially a current job. I searched on YouTube and found out from an immigration lawyer that it is only proper to submit a work reference letter that is not later than 3 months after ITA if it is a current employment. I knew i was in for it because my HR friend had been transferred and a new HR was there. I still met him and showed him the old letter that all i needed was the current date and his signature and stamp. To my surprise, he obliged me willingly and even asked me to put him through the whole process . Our generic letter head does not have an email address so he happily gave me his business card. Bless him.

Medicals, PCC, Studio 24: I did this 3 at once in Lagos. Our boy was cooperative enough to take a passport photo with his head straight . Those guys are professionals. I got both the soft copy (for post ITA, 35x45 mm i suppose) and the hard copy (50x70mm) for PPR. I prayed that the hard copy would be valid by the time we get PPR because hubby is not readily available. Thank God.

LOE: I explained the reason why my work ref and bank letters were in my maiden name, i even went to the extent of getting a one and same person court affidavit (which was totally unnecessary); i needed the peace of mind . I also filled schedule a form for past visa refusals.

We finally submitted.

ITA - 10th Jan
AOR - 18th Mar
MEP/IP1 - 24th Mar
ADR / IP2 - 16th May (ADR - IMM 5406 form)
Submitted ADR - 17th May
PPR - 18th May (dated 17th May)

I saw the mail today, now i have 5 days to submit . Thank God i checked my spam folder today. I stopped checking it when i got ADR in my inbox so i ruled out the possibility of getting their mail in my spam. Please do not assume.

Thank you all for your best wishes. This journey tests your patience and the strength of your resolve. It could be through IELTS, ECA, POF, PPR, even settling down. It will definitely end it praise for us all if we do not give up.

Thanks to everyone on this thread, the contributors and encouragers. We are one big family.

Newmum i am looking forward to the express entry nairaland alumni group you want to start up in Cannyland and your PPR announcement with happytbaby, ethelia and all those awaiting PPR.
