Does Ces accept statement of result in place of certificate as ASUU strike is affecting collection of my certificate

Wakan.owdotcom didn't need the sibling points and stated that. It might not be misrepresentation but the OP wants to claim the points.

Hello seniors in the house, I have read posts where ICES has been recommended for ECA but the timeline of 10 -12 weeks is long. I would be evaluating my MBA but the results is not ready, should be ready latest by March. My questions: 1) should I start evaluating my waec result with WES to quicken the process when the MBA is ready by March?
2) what is the timeline for WES, I saw 20 working days on the website?

bskyb:


Good evening, Flaj.
I am aware that you have answered a similar question to this, however, I have searched for the full answer unsuccessfully. My wife is a registered nurse and Registered midwife. She also has a degree in Psychology. She has an ICES evaluation for the BSc Psychology, but our CRS score still falls short of the cut off.
I believe that if she evaluates her RN/RM and BSc, she would have a chance of being given the "two or more diplomas or certificate" status, which will lift her scores.
Which of the evaluating bodies is best for this? ICAS, IQAS ? or should I upgrade ICES?
Kindly respond.
Thanks you

iaatmguy:
what!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you helped her, by telling her to stop ?
Please do, even if she has paid the upfront

Summary of the Express Entry process. Trust me, you can do it yourself.

All information can be verified on the official website of IRCC, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp, if in any doubt.

1. It is expedient that you determine your eligibility for the Express Entry program, you can check that by answering a few questions on http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2. There are many streams available to immigrate to Canada. You can get direct Invitation To Apply (ITA) as a Federal Skill Worker (FSW) if your CRS score is higher than the bi-weekly round of invitation cut-off set by the IRCC. You can check what your CRS score would be and compare with cut-offs for recent rounds of invitation to know the likelihood of getting a direct ITA.

Calculate your CRS Score:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp?_ga=2.4860147.1549039584.1537656188-1115172617.1482620098

Compare with cut-offs for recent Rounds of Invitation:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/submit-profile/rounds-invitations/results-previous.html

3. If your CRS score is well below recent cut offs, you might want to consider PNPs or try to get a job offer with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to improve your score. Check websites for Provincial websites for further details on their PNPs and their requirements. See LMIA details http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp. NOTE: Getting a job offer is difficult but not impossible.

4. Get your credentials assessed by approved bodies to show their Canadian equivalence. See link for details: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp
Assessments take usually take 2-4months on the average depending on your institution and are valid for 5years after which you’d need to redo them.


5. Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), or Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) streams. The better your score in each band, the higher your CRS score.

CLB 9 (LRWS: 8,7,7,7) can greatly boost your score. Infact, to get a high score you need at least CLB 9. Unless you have Canadian work experience and Canadian education.
Check how to determine your CLB from your test result on http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

6. Determine your National Occupation Classification (NOC) code. A field you must have work in for a period of at least 12 months. Check http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp
The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW.

7. Create your Express Entry profile
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp
You can choose to register for Job Bank on http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng
Job Bank is not compulsory.
You are graded base on six criteria (age, education, work experience, language skills, adaptability, job offer). See details;
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool until your CRS score becomes higher than the cut-off for a draw, the you’d receive an ITA
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

8. When you finally get an ITA, you would put in your application and provide documentation to prove your claims. You would also need to make the following payments; application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse)
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

Other documents you’d need to put in your application include:
a) proof of funds
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

b) police character certificates
http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

c) medical examination report
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

d) job reference letters from current and previous employers. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience.

Someone on this thread told us how he wasnt mentioned in his siblings application but went ahead to present proof of relationship and got PPR,dont remember the moniker though and im surprised u missed that post as well.
Besides,think about it if my sibling excludes my name for any reason,perhaps enstrangement,you coming out to prove your relationship can never be seen as misrepresentation in my opinion.

Guys, it’s PEE PEE AAAAARRRRRR.

While I don’t yet know if this post will be long or otherwise, I will endeavour to share this testimony, not for the anxiety of @raphrulz scoring it, but for those who would benefit from it.

Yesterday morning, my phone fell and had a screen problem, I might have done this earlier and more conveniently on it, but PC is not bad either. Thank GOD.

DECISION to travel has always been there, I could remember way before I gained admission into Tertiary institution, various dreams, various wishes, various prayers and the likes. How could this be, parents could only try their best by giving us Nigerian education. Finished M.Sc in 2013, worked as a pseudo-manager in a private firm for 12k, left the place, got another teaching job for 12k… well, God has a plan.
I knew about Express Entry in 2014, I was single then, and my score was 413. ECA with WES took months( I don’t remember exact months), my 2015 IELTS was L7.5 R7 W7 S7.5, I didn’t know about 8777 then, so I paused pursuing the dream and focused on self-employment and marital.

ECA: I could say my ECA was smooth, though it took some time. Spouse’s ECA with WES started since 2015, and till date, it’s not ready. So many problems with Nursing council and WES up and down. I was left with 3 options, GO spouse unaccompanying; Use IQAS; or ICES. I asked the question here if anyone had used ICES for evaluating RN before, I was challenged by a ‘grumpysenrudy’ fellow (Thanks, mate!) to be the first to try it, I did and it came out positive, in fact I almost paid for IQAS too… Ever heard of ‘Penny wise, Pound Foolish’?; I believe Canada is worth all the effing money in my case, anyway.
Registered for ICES in August, result came out after 40 days. If we had used IQAS, maybe we’d just receive ITA in the last 443 draw, because we were at 444.

IELTS Well, after learning I had to aim at 8777, I prepared very well for the Listening and Reading part, I wrote in June 2018, and I had L8.5 R9 W7 S7.5. With this score CRS was at 462 as a single applicant, and 435 as accompanied (without spouse’s ECA), she didn’t write IELTS at last because her ITA came before we could register her. Thank God!

ITA my first ITA came in July, I was among those that had the last batch of 90 days to submit, expecting my spouse’s ECA, 90 days elapsed on September 22nd, her ECA came in September 25th. I also remember many people(myself inclusive) aimed at submitting their application before the introduction of Biometrics in July, Biometrics turned out to be a Blessing in disguise… I suppose it fastens the process.
Got another ITA that same week with spouse not accompanying CRS score of 462, but the cut-off was 449, had to decline it on its Friday and got a surprise draw the following Monday(October 15th) at 440. Hallelujah! Thank You, Jesus.,

POF was 100% gift from my dad. Didn’t notarise it, but we, mum inclusive signed across #20 seal each. I opened a new account entirely for this, after the gift entered, I bought Treasury Bills, submitted the paper they call certificate and statement of account for the new account. Didn’t submit any other statement of account.

WORK EXPERIENCE I am self-employed, I repair computers, printers etc and 2 days ago, I repaired my LCD TV( I think im handy). I submitted reference letters from 6 customers and 8 receipts. I couldn’t even get receipts for some of those who wrote reference letters for me, I was worried here, yet I didn’t want to manipulate things. Many of the reference letters were handwritten with customers phone numbers and email addresses, of course, they stated I was paid in cash. I don’t think IRCC called any of them though.
I had to monitor one of my references email, in case something important comes in.
No travel history.

I finished filling the eAPR on Thursday, couldn’t submit till Saturday.

ADR Pre-ITA I allowed a cousin of mine to have access to my file, but I changed to not granted during eAPR all in a bid not to complicate things, instead of MEP on november 25, I got IMM5475e ADR which I submitted same day, got BIL and MEP the following day, and I completed Biometrics the following day, November 28th. In the ADR, I again granted the cousin access to my file .
If you are in the pre-ITA or eAPR stage, try to maintain same information and fill this IMM5475e form if you want to allow or disallow a third party access to your file.

LAGOS We hail thee Lagosians, For you are rugged Nigerians, Come sunshine Come rain, Thine traffic and weather are as they are. Well, let say madam and son didn’t really enjoy the heat and mosquitoes. Thine mosquitoes are stubborn, as the insecticide dies down, the mosquiteos are back. Well, maybe my location sha. #lipSealed

SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES I updated my facebook, Linkedin and twitter account to tally with what I do and submitted to IRCC. LinkdedIn account was checked by two different people in ghost mode, and 1 or 2 checks by unknown seemingly Nigerians.

I appreciate Praying parents, praying in-laws, praying cousins and a good friend. We’re just lucky.
All in all, Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, Glory to the Holy Ghost, Glory Hallelujah.
