People would have been queueing to give birth in Canadian and US embassy toilets

When you're visibly pregnant and you go for any appointment there security will be like 'can we have doctor's report please?' to be sure you're not due

einsteino:


wrong. she is wrong. she doesn't truly understand what she is saying. The Vienna convention on diplomatic relations 1961 is usually miscontrued to imply embassies are sovereign territories of the sending nation, but it is a misconception. If you read Articles 21-25 of it, which bothers on embassies, you would understand that it only relates to the inviolabilty of the territory by the host nation, it is not ceding, and can not be claimed to have a different territorial identity in any sense. and that is why giving birth in a U.S embassy would not accord the baby U. S citizen status. Matter of fact there has been precedence for this already, i think it was in kenya that a woman went into the U. S consulate and delivered in their toilet andwas pressing for her baby to accorded citizenship.

More like a failed precedent.

I don't mind eating humble pie now and then. It's good for intellectual growth. Post modified, thanks again.

Hi Enitan, sorry about unchanged writing result. Please how long did you wait before you got the mail? Also did you have to mail them or go to their office or they just sent you a mail without you following up?

Enitan007:
Unfortunately, writing came back unchanged but speaking brought back my 46k. I'll shoot my shot again, hopefully it's going to be the last to get me the desired scores.

Pheww I have given up on BC. 15th week! same old story.

ArcUgo:
As in eh mine is 9weeks today. I was even at BC today, still no show

[quote author=efueh post=68855173]Yes it is two certificate. But ensure you send both for ECA evaluation, else a body like WES will end up demanding for the diploma before they will evaluate only the Bsc, as they are famous for claiming incomplete transcript for 200 level direct people.
Enjoy.

Hello efueh, do you know if it's the same for unilag? Thank you

13th week for me now o! Went to their office, nothing. Sent them a mail this week, they said they're waiting to heart back from their EOR team in the UK. We've entered one chance with BC.

Thanks Elfmannisback and Stonecold, i really appreciate ur replies and directions.

I have seen the posts containing two NOCs. I think its better we go ahead with the insurance agent NOC since this is one she has been doing since Oct 2016 (almost 2 yrs) till now and its been continuous as well. I have deleted the first profile and has started with a new one.
Let me give u a brief rundown of my wife's employment history

1. Finished school (degree in Law) in 2011
2. Went to law school almost thru out 2012 (finished and was admitted to the Bar by Nov that year).
3. Went for service almost all thru 2013. Got married by the end of that year
4. Started work by March 2014 in a chambers till about December 2014. (This is the place she wouldnt want to get reference as she fell with the chamber head due to some personal issues but not work related and hasnt bn in touch since then )
5. Most of 2015 was for baby (came april) and post-natal care as she delivered abroad and has to be away for sometime. When back, she tried to get another job in a chambers but this was the beginning of the recession and she tried but no luck, so she was tending to the baby
6. Got the insurance job late in 2016 and has held it down since then. She prefers the flexible hours and the ets good commission from policies she has been able to sell to various people. Paycheck/Commission is regular monthly.

Now my question is, whats the story for the absence of work experience from Jan 2014- Oct 2016 (minus the childbirth part) knowing well that the chambers part is out of it?

Also the insurance job brings the work experience period to 2 yrs by Oct 2018. With this, we are at 407. We are planning on good score in IELTS which ll bring us to 451. What do u advise i go ahead with knowing the info above?

Thanks and expecting advice from u my forerunners in this race. God bless

I used FCMB and was charged roughly 66k...GTB charges more than that...
In addition, HST refund was just a little less 8k although it reflected in my account close to 1 month after WES made the transfer.

Based on Today's BDC rate, FCMB is the highest. Why don't you try Gtbank; alot of positive review from them or Ecobank and Sterling.

Good morning good people. please i need your advice as regards paying for WES verification for me and wifey. According to page 0 and i quote (Dispatching the hard copy ECA)


[b]Upon registration, you would be asked to state if you want it couriered to Nigeria or a Canadian address (cheaper option). If you have a reliable contact in Canada, you can use his or her address as you do not need the hard copy urgently. However, if you do not have one, I would recommend that you choose courier rather than post office as you cant track it when you use the post office.
[color=#990000][/color]
Can i as well use that of the USA address as a cheaper option than to send it to Nigeria which would cost me an additional 85 dollars each, and make use of the soft copy in filling EE profile and possible use it for post ITA as well i.e( downloading the soft copy, print it and scan )it for without resulting to the hard copy that would be mailed to the US.I ask this because it would cost me additional 46,000naira or more to have WES mail my report and that of my wife through a courier service.
And house please does anyone knows if Anambra State University responds to email sent to them for confirmation from WES on time. so i can know if i should use IQAS TO verify wifey's result.
Thirdly which is a more reliable means of payment to WES, credit card, western union etc ?
@newmum0615, thanks for your response on my earlier post. i appreciate.

Hello All,


For ITA, reference letter. I am claiming 1.5 years from previous employer and 1.5 years from current employer. I have started processing my reference letter. Is that enough? I can also provide bank statements of payment made but in my previous employ, I was mostly offshore so could not get salary advice. What can I do? If i send bank statements of last six months for both previous and current together with the reference letters will that be enough

Elfmannisback:

I don't understand. Whose was N271?

i meant that's the standard exchange rate online.

yet the are still charging 291/$.

with the new exchange rates, the most banks should be charging is 280/$, but so far i don't think any bank is complying with that.

Lool download a pdf, print then scan? That’s funny.
Anyway you only need the soft copy both pre and post ITA and you can just pay 7 dollars to have it posted by standard mail to Nigeria, got mine a few days ago even though I didn’t need it anymore.
Pay with your debit MasterCard (make sure to use the same address your bank account was opened with)

Hello house, please am filling my application now and under travel history am asked to feel travel history of myself and relatives for the last 10years. While I don't have any it would be difficult to get that of my relatives. Kindly advise

I hope you realize that the relatives they are referring to are your husband and kids above 18years (if applicable)

Elfmannisback:

Any upgrade?

Yes. Writing went from 7 to 7.5. That's 3 additional CRS points. Small but seem very priceless in this age of high CRS cut-off. Lol

First and only IELTS: LRWS 8,9,7.5,7

PS: Refund feels very sweet o

You don't state travel history for parents and siblings just basically your spouse and child above 18yrs.

NIGERIA

Passport was obtained in London and reading place of issue London o

Issuing authority is Nigeria. When inside Nigerian embassies anywhere in the world you’re on Nigerian soil innit? Seriously though place of issue is different from issuing authority. Your answer is Nigeria

My son was born in the USA and he has a Blue Passport. While filling my son's details on the application form I was asked if he has a Green Card? Please, is it ok to fill No? Am confused.
