My people, please huddle round let's reason together.

I have someone who needs PNP because of age.

Now, her main NOC (social worker) is currently on SINP list, but she doesn't have the requisite education so isn't really qualified. She's willing to do a diploma to gain the qualification, but will take a bit of time and you know how these occupation in demand lists change.

However, she owns a farm which she has been running as a side hustle all these years. And farm manager is also on the demand list. She neatly ticks off all the requirements for this NOC in real life.

Two problems involved on paper:
1. She has not been tidy with documentations all these years. Even sales book, she no get lol.
2. She is very well known in that her main NOC. Google her name and her experience there will pop up. Google her particular field of expertise and her name is also likely to pop up.

I'm thinking we should try getting nomination with farm manager, but if nomination has not arrived as at when we complete our diploma, we recreate profile/switch NOC to social worker. Is this making sense?

Thanks in advance for your contributions.

Dont forget schools that pay N20-30k for verification with high sorting. If you are from such a school, you will spend above that 600CAD without noticing it.

Let's not forget the schools that will still not see the email after several trips, phone calls and sorting.
You will end up paying for hard copy verification with courier costs to and fro

This is not even something to argue about, the only people who should be considering WES are;
1. Holders of foreign degrees
2. Future APEGA applicants
3. People hoping to access professional qualifications like CIPM, ACCA, ICAN ATS etc.
4. Masochists

Jasmine17:


I almost got to that stage with school A. They didn't receive WES emails 2 times and WES didn't want to send till another 7 weeks. Took my writing an email to an oga patapata in WES, call customer care 3 times in two days (N2,000 credit o), and having a shouting match with a CSO and her supervisor, before WES sent the email again. This time, the school got it immediately.

Hi, you don't need to get letters from your clients. I am sure what they need from you are contracts, invoices/ receipt of payments, your business account showing transactions and your income tax. You can take screenshots of email correspondence between you and your clients as well. I have put a screenshot of my gcms note after I got ppr so you can know what exactly they are looking for. See you in Canada.

Tojued:


documentation from third party sounds more like contract letters to me than (recommendation) letters. I think those letters should only be used when there are no existing contract documentation.

Finally, the Eagle has landed!
it's PPR!

Hubby and I can finally have a fantastic night's rest , I had a strong belief that part 5 will not end without my PPR testimony and it didn't.

Timeline below

Decision to travel March 2017 ( Was single then)
IELTS with BC April 2017
IELTS was passed at first attempt 9,8,8,7.5
ECA took about 6 months between NASU strike and IQAS
Got married in Dec 2017 and joined the pool as a couple with me being the PA
Hubby was on the journey before we met, had IELTS and ECA already
CRS score 477
ITA was JAN 5
AOR March 29
Proof of fund was FD which was maturing in 2 months and the balance was from my savings account.
Med passed April 12
Then the wait began ...............

Ordered 3 GCMS notes in between... 3rd yet to arrive
1st and 2nd had similar info note, one of my job references wasn't used so points dropped to 452 but was still good, so I didnt bother about CSE.
Visa office: initially London, moved to kyiv in August.

Started raising CSE and sending mails to Kyiv after 180 days post AOR and didn't really get very helpful feedback except to keep checking profile.
1st Ghost Update 16th Oct
2nd Nov, Kyiv contacted my office to confirm my employment status, HR replied same day.
5th Nov, status changed to NA
6th Nov, changed back to IP1

2nd Ghost update 8th Nov at about 2pm
9th Nov, status changed to IP2 about 2pm
Then at 3:45pm I got an email from CIC, opened my account and behold Passport Request Message, I was alone at the time, I didn't even know how to behave

We have been under a lot of pressure to get PPR so we can land in Canny before our baby who is on the way arrives or airline refuse to carry me lol. I just want to say a big thank you to God who makes all things beautiful in its time and a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I discovered this thread about 3 months after applying and every PPR testimony shared really encouraged me to be hopeful.

God bless you all.

There is something definitely wrong with Accra VO. As at 2 months back, their response to inquiries was "Your application is in queue for review. Expect to hear from us late 2018 / early 2019" but now their response to queries sent recently is "Your application is in queue for review. Expect to hear from us early 2019". So they are making it clear that they do not intend to issue PPR this year, even though assessment has been passed.
What are they actually doing? And why are they intentionally trying to frustrate people?

Jasmine17:


Bro. Told myself i wont respond to this issue again as the guy was trying to be sarcastic and nasty even when it was clear i only wanted to help. But knowing what you have done for me, i will respond to you.

Make him pick sense from our convo if e like, no cares.

I paid WES N58k+ which is the equivalent of #207CAD for the evaluation of my first degree and Master's.

Transcript cost is not applicable as i would have paid same if i used ICES.

WAEC costs
(which i would have avoided if i used ICES)
Affidavit - did mine N200 but had to courier it to lag. In Lagos, it goes for N1,500 minimum, 3k at WAEC office.
Confirmation of result payment = N10k
Courier fee, Fedex - N10k
Stationery+Tfare+Thank you for my proxy - N6,000
Scratch card sent as a group - N4,505
Total cost from WAEC - N30,705 (as i didn't pay for courier of affidavit).

School A verification
Official payment to school - N0
Sorting to get verification done - N5500
Tfare to school for verification - N1,000
Total - N6,500

School B verification
Official payment to school - N10,000
Sorting to get verification done - N7,000
Tfare to school for verification - N0
Total - N17,000

Phone calls to WES on verification issues >N6,500 as of date.

Waec verification not done as of today, dont know if i would sort in the end to get it done.

Total from WAEC and verification as of today = N60,705 ~ 213CAD
Dont forget schools that pay N20-30k for verification with high sorting. If you are from such a school, you will spend above that 600CAD without noticing it.

Now, have i not spent above the extra amount for ICES additional certificate evaluation? I have done that conveniently with additional stress.

Did it save me time? NO. My application to WES is EXACTLY 3 months old Today. People get their ECA from ICES in less than 1 month after receipt of transcript.
