stevo2016: Please please please and please again kindly decline this ITA. The wait post submission can sometimes be draining coupled with the fact that someone will be thinking and thinking "what if, what if" IT IS NOT WORTH IT! On this thread, we have been advised time and time again not to inpute false information for ECA or IELTS reference numbers in other to land ITA. You were advised wrongly sir so decline. Give yourself peace of mind. 5th of September to 21st September is too short. Better to wait... 11 Likes |

stevo2016: Is it that you didn't fill in any number under spouse ECA you ticked YES to? If so, how was the application submitted successfully without an ECA number, I am asking this, because you said you ticked yes to her ECA and your CRS is 451 and after completion, it will increase to 459. I am lost here. Or was it that by your initial action, there was no point for her ECA to your scores? You need to explain better, so that you can be advised accordingly. 3 Likes |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by o2(f): 11:40am On Sep 06, 2018 |
There are two questions on express entry 1. Does your SPOUSE have a post secondary degree? 2. Was it evaluated by any authorized evealuation body? If your answer to question 2 was NO, then there is no need to attach her ECA post ITA. I F your answer was yes then thats the misrepresentation. if you only answered yes to question 1 then upload her BSC certificate alone. stevo2016: 6 Likes |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by o2(f): 11:43am On Sep 06, 2018 |
Why this advice, when i filled my own i claimed my spouse has a higher educatin but chose that he doesnt have ECA (that means it was not evaluated). By the time i got ITA there was still the space for spouse's educational document and i put his certificates. Lets try to understand people before advising decline. If he didnt fill any ECA number pre ITA Aand didnt get marks for ECA. It is not MISREPRESENTATION. stonecoldcafe: 3 Likes |

It is possible to click yes to Educational history and click NO for ECA. Go back and read his post, he never said he clicked yes to ECA. efueh: 1 Like |

stevo2016: You're flirting with misrepresentation. Reject that ITA and wait till you get your ECA before accepting another ITA. The date of ECA will show that you got ITA before completing your ECA. That is misrepresentation. 1 Like |

Unfortunately, the poster is contradicting/ confusing us all. He has not really explicitly said he filled in arbitrary details under spouse ECA, even though that's what is been implied. ![]() ![]() ![]() o2: 4 Likes |

Okay, so did you click yes to the question "was it evaluated by an authorized body?" And did you make up an Eca number and a completion date? If the answers to the above questions are no then no need to panic but if the answer is yes then na only you waka come o. stevo2016: Congrats to all ITA recipients na now the real BP fluctuation go start. 3 Likes 1 Share |

o2:At the end of the day, it all boils down to one thing. Did OP claim points for his wife's ECA which is not yet out? If his CRS score on its own (without his wife's ECA point) is clearly enough to get him through yesterdays draw then it's good. If however he claimed additional points based on his wife ECA (which has not been concluded) and without this point, his score wouldn't have fetched him yesterday's ITA then its wrong. @stevo2016, please do as you are convinced. 3 Likes |

How I battled with IELTS for a YEAR!!! - A long and boring story 1st attempt (29 July 2017) - LRWS - 7.5,9, 7.5, 8 (BC) 2nd attempt (Nov) - LRWS - 8.5, 8.5, 6.5, 7.5 (BC) – Requested for remark in writing (no upgrade) 3rd attempt (Jan) - LRWS - 6, 7.5, 7.5, 8.5 (MOD) – Back then speakers were used for listening test 4th attempt (Mar) – LRWS- 8.5, 8, 6.5, 7.5 (BC) - Requested for remark in writing (no upgrade) 5th attempt (April) - LRWS – 7.5, 8, 6.5, 7.5 (MOD) 6th attempt (Jun) - LRWS – 9, 8, 7, N/A (MOD) – I missed my speaking test 7th attempt (28 July 2018) – LRWS – 9, 9, 6.5, 8.5(MOD) - I almost wept because I expected 9, 9, 8, 8 Despite testimonies on upgrade and words of encouragement/advice from friends (on nairaland and other platforms) I was reluctant to initiate an EOR because my experience with EOR hasn’t been favorable and I was as broke as a church mouse. A friend eventually lent me N100,000 but I was confused on how best to utilize it. I needed some money for my up-keep, so the balance would be for either EOR/another IELTS. Babe suggested re-writing IELTS but I was tired of rehearsing speaking sessions with her, listening to boring IELTS model listening test, reading model IELTS essay, writing IELTS letters and essay (wey nobody dey mark), so I opted for remark even though I wasn’t really expecting an upgrade. I got an email from MOD that my EOR is available for collection, I showed the email to one of my guys and he said “Baba dem no upgrade the writing oo.” A frustrated me completely agreed with him maybe because I wasn’t expecting an upgrade/because no reference was made to refund of the EOR fees/ because my friend had requested for EOR thrice with MOD (so I kinda trust his judgement) or I was too frustrated to think straight). However, I asked my sister to collect the TRF on my behalf (at least the score go increase my CRS marginally – who knows, tsunami fit make score drop significantly and the marginal increase could be all I need). Sis sent me the pic of the TRF and to my surprise - my writing was upgraded from 6.5 to 7. With this upgrade CRS go jump reach like 450. ![]() ![]() ![]() My 2 cent on how to prep for IELTS General 1- Read page 0 abi na page 1 of this trend 2- Read and follow the instruction on the question paper (e.g not more than 2 words and/or number) 3- For reading and listening – don’t leave any question unanswered. Listening 1- Download various IELTS listening test from youtube (google “savefromnet”) 2- Print screen and print the listening questions (so you have listening question papers) 3- Practice without headset (this will increase your concentration level especially for those who get distracted easily) 4- Don’t review your answers until the end of the test, use the audio break to review the next set of questions 5- Identify your weak question types, and practice them more 6- For Maps, identify the starting point in the map (e.g the reception, entrance) before the commencement of the audio 7- write on your question paper the north, east, west and south pole of the map – would help if the speaker says something like, the studio is at the north east of the reception 8- Flow with the speaker with the intention of identifying all the locations in the map (for instance the speaker could say the studio is beside the toilet. The questions required you to identify where the studio is but if you ignored the location of the toilet because it was not listed amongst the question, then you have jounze the location of the studio) 9- For matching questions – Instead of matching the answers to the questions when the audio is being played, for each question, write out all the keywords stated by the speaker (use shorthand and abbreviation). At the end of the test, I used 2-3 minutes (out of the 10 minutes) to review the keyword stated for each question vis-à-vis the answer option (I hope this explanation is clear because matching question and maps use to be my problem until I adopted these strategies. 10- For multiple choice question with long sentence – when previewing the questions, underline the keyword, then listen for the keyword or its synonym or paraphrased 11- Write what you hear, not what you think Reading (GT) – My area of core competence 1- For T/F/NG – True- the passage support the question, False- the passage negate/contradict the question, N/G - the passage states nothing about the question. 2- For section 1 & 2, don’t read the passage first, read and underline keywords in question 1&2, scan through the passage for answers to both. If you spot the answer to question 2 first, there is a possibility that the answer to question 1 was in the preceding sentence or it is N/G (for T/F/NG type of questions. 3- Plan to conclude section 1 & 2 in 20 minutes 4- For section 3 – read each paragraph and summary in one sentence the core idea of the passage (5-10minutes depending on your reading speed) (e.g summary for paragraph A – discovery of white lions, summary for paragraph B – people’s perception about white lion, summary for paragraph C – different studies on temperament of white lions…..summary for paragraph H - extinction of white lions) 5- Read each question (e.g a research conducted in the 19th century showed that white lion are _____, use your paragraph summary to identify the paragraph where the answer lies (See the words in bold, the answer to this question is most likely in paragraph C, so scan through paragraph C for words, synonyms or paraphrase for research, 19th century, white lion are). 6- In my opinion the key to high score in reading is not understanding the passage, rather it is about being able to identify the answers in the passage) 7- I score high in reading but the truth is I rarely. Speaking 1- For first timers, watch model IELTS speaking video online 2- If possible, rehearse speaking test with someone 3- See samples of task 2 questions and have model answers/topic in mind e.g for any task 2 topic related to trip, holiday, picnic, school excursion etc – would speak about trip to Olumo Rock and adapt as appropriate (have never been to olumo rock before), anything related to an item (gift from someone, gift to someone, item I admire, item I misplaced etc – I will speak about laptop) 4- Use the past, present, future and opinion techniques (you can search youtube for Jay video on this) 5- Lie is possible, in fact tell plenty reasonable and coherent lies (the God you serve will understand and forgive you) 6- See the examiner as your gist/gossip mate, just feel free to yan your “apata” Writing (I don’t know wetin to write because me gat work on it, but few notes) 1- Watch IELTS videos on writing ( I used orisirisi videos) 2- Print out and study many IELTS model writing essay (the essay structure, use of linking words etc) this will enable you see the application of the skills you learnt from the videos 3- Use “Brighter grammar” or "Premier English"...........sha read to improve your writing 4- Attempt model IELTS writing test under exam condition and ask friends to review it (Big shout out to everyone who offered to review my essay) [color=#000099][/color]5- Practice writing using model IELTS writing answer booklet – to familiarize yourself with the answer booklet and to have an idea of the numbers of lines you need to write on to achieve the required word count MOD vs BC - My Opinion Disclaimer: Please note that below are my personal opinions about MOD & BC at the moment (6/9/18), and not necessarily true or false in all instances. MOD’s Edge over BC 1- Those who registered early were given to opportunity to choose their preferred speaking date and time 2- Responded to my emails within 24 hours 3- Spent less time trying to calling a customer care representative 4- Cheaper IELTS fees (MOD - NGN68,000 and BC – NGN75,000) 5- Was easy to book for an IELTS test within few days to the test date 6- Was easy to pay for IELTS test or EOR (e.g MOD does not require bank draft not need for EOR 7- If you like low key parole, the probability that you would meet someone you know at MOD test center is small. BC’s Edge over MOD 1- Better organized on exam date (considering the crowd at both centers) 2- Cheaper EOR fees (MOD – NGN46,124 and BC – NGN15,000) 3- More flexible on speaking test date (if you arrive late or too early) – 4- MOD often use speakers in new center (I prefer headset to speaker) 5- If you like high key parole/you will like to identify frd into this EE stuff for guidance and direction), the probability that you would meet someone you know at BC test center is high 6- Gat centers in more states than MOD 7- More popular in Nigeria than MOD (but who da one help ![]() Note: Based on my experience, your IELTS result is not dependent on whether you write with MOD or BC (except for speaking, where availability of headset could impact on candidate performance). To everyone who encouraged/advised me - (in Davido's voice) Blessing fall on you To everyone still battling with IELTS - Fire your shot again.
