Good day guys,

Please I need advice from everyone who can help.

My brother is about to begin his EE journey, he wants to start ECA and IELTS, but there is something that is making us put a hold on everything for now.

Since he graduated from the university, he has not been in paid employment. He underwent an informal training to learn the art of shoe-making. Since 2014 after service, he has been making shoes. He is doing quite well in his business. We looked up his NOC and it is 6343 Shoe repairers and shoemakers which falls under NOC B. It is a good match because he does everything stated there and more.
Our challenge now is putting together docs to prove this experience. He is still awaiting his company registration with CAC. He applied since but it has not been finalized yet. He doesn't have a company acct yet, payments are made into his personal savings acct. He hasn't started paying taxes, so we don't know how to provide proof in case he is asked for tax docs. No LGA levies. His social media accounts extensively show all his business activities and shoe designs, even some well known Naija celebrities post on his profiles to thank him for the shoes he makes for them. While he used to accept cash in the past for payments, most payments are made directly to his account (not sure of the narrations sha).

So, my question is, considering the fact that his CAC docs will be relatively new, can he use as an evidence or must it be as old as his claim of self employment experience?
What other docs asides payment receipts, letters from clients that have bought his shoes, his personal account statements, pictures of his business activities on his social media accts can he provide?
Claiming only his NYSC experience will not give his enough points as he has only a BSc. Even the 15 points from me won't do much with just 1 year work experience.

I need help please. Is it doable? Or should we just forget it?
cc: Glitteringstar, Newmum, mcstan18 and everyone else who can help. Thanks in anticipation.

PS: I got a ghost update on my account on Friday. Hope to get the golden mail soon

See ehn. I do not and cannot feel anything for these people claiming asylum anywhere. Especially the Nigerians who claim this rubbish female genital ish. The real people who are affected by FGM do not have the means to travel to the US or Canada. A colleague of mine resigned last year and relocated with her hubby and children only to go and file an asylum case claiming that her daughters were facing the threat of FGM. Their application was approved . This na person wey dey live for Lekki with better job o that can easily do EE. I have lost the ability to can abeg. They should make it harder. Maybe we go hear word.

Maybe try explaining your situation in a LOE just as you've done here, get some customers to write references for him, put links to the social media pages in your LOE. If he has done any large order like a contract, it would help.
Put everything together, submit and hope for the best.
Or try PNP to boost the scores

Hello House,

Congratulations to all ITA recipients.

Please I need your input: I want to do my ECA Lautech MBA, now that WES requires waec/neco to verify results wouldn't the ICES and IQAS route be the better option since they don't require waec.

Thank you all.

ayxmania:
Hello peeps, biko help me. I want to evaluate my MA degree with WES, am I supposed to send my WAEC certificate too? I'm confused.
If I am to evaluate my WAEC also, how do I go about it? I'm frustrated.

Pictures of shoes he's made should be added to the LOE.

I just recalculated

COPR:


There are many things you can do to increase your CRS Score.

You can write TEF to increase your score.
You can go grab PGD in NOUN to claim points for two or more certs. Or do Master's to claim 126 points.
You can marry and she evaluates her cert and write IELTS to add points. If she has Master's and younger than you, then relax back and make her the PA and provide POF for family of two.

You can see that you have many options.

@All,
Sorry I have been very busy.


I thought since I shuttle different continents it would have helped in my timeline but LVO had something else in mind.

Thanks to all and may God deliver us from LVO

Thanks a lot. They are readily available. One look at his social media accounts will show enough pix sef.
I am just worried about not having complete documentation. Do you have any info on the recent CAC registration and inability to show tax payment will be a problem? Can anyone help please?

Praise God, my school finally sent my transcript

ottawasenators:
congrats to all who clinched ITA. May speedy PPR processing be yours.

Currently in the pool, though as a supporting applicant. Highly expectant on positive outcome on spouse's EOR with BC to give

us CRS of at least 440, while preparing for another IELTS as backup.

EOR with BC submitted 16th July and no news yet.

It shall end in praise for us all

i am not sure you would get an email prompt from bc informing you that your eor is ready. i suggest you check on them at their office. someone on this forum gave a similar experience.

einsteino:


lol congrats. Having a travel history or Visa Refusal makes one eligible to be a candidate of LVO and no it doesn't make one's case simpler there.
