Did u write your answers in capital letters...its preferred.


1st 7
2nd 7.5
3rd 7.5

All through BC.

I am not tired, I am just scared. What if I write again and it's 7.5

Useful suggestions are welcome. I tried to identify my gaps after my second attempt. It was in section 3 & 4. I worked on it, but I made two silly mistakes during the exams. I mixed up the numbers and stopped answering questions before the end of the exam. I still cannot explain how that happened.

I have written several exams and I have not repeated any, but IELTS has been a pain.

I have asked my husband to write the exam. If he aces it, he would be the principal applicant. I have done the CRS calculation, it will hover around 442 to 450, depending on his scores. It will take him a month to study for it.

What else do you think I should do?

Have you tried the computer delivered IELTS exam? Thé mode of Delivery may help give a better result. And since its Listening, listen to BBC news, CNN news, any English news Channel. Watch proper English movies without subtitles. Listen and internalise thé news. If possible, listen to the words without looking at thé pictures (The pictures could distract you from listening )

Thanks. The last one I did was computer delivered. I believe I would have done better if I didn't make those silly mistakes.

bepop:
Sorry dear. How have you been practicing? Try Cambridge 7-14 youtube vidoes. One trick is this, if you don't do well in a particular recording, go back to the exact recording that you missed and listen over to it. Dont be in a hurry to move to the next test. Try and concentrate on how you missed some questions. You will see improvement.

Secondly, go to ielts mini and focus on section 3 and 4 independently and make sure you are scoring at least 9/10.

Thirdly, here is a clue for mcq - treat is like T/F/NG. Let me know if you need more help. I wrote ielts 5 times so be encouraged. Your next will be the last. i had 9 in my last listening.

Thank you. I will do as advised. You've encouraged me.

iaatmguy:
Sorry about that, but do not relent. keep practicing. also give yourself a break from writing the test and devout more to practicing.

Thanks

Dude, I'm assuming you are single and less than 30yrs. Relying on two or more certificates might not be enough to cross you over unless you are sure of maxing out your IELTS.

So waiting for the MSc or doing MSc with NOUN might be the better option. Unless you're willing to put on the effort of learning French.

I'm sorry ....
e from my PPA.

Almost 7months post AOR...

olalekan9320:
I'm sorry for the long post.
This journey is not easy o, I have been following this thread since when I was in 200 level. I'm currently serving and I read it somewhere that Express Entry is till 2020( even though it might continue with another name and the people targeted might change).
Several ways to boost score has been said on this thread but the best I could go for is the NOUN option. Initially, I thought I would start my Msc in science education( I read zoology and that's the course I think I can go for) this January and would be done by December then I will start ECA during the wait period I would be practicing IELTS by April ECA should be done and will write the English exam.
But my ordeal is, I have gone to different study centers from Mcarthy to Apapa to Abeokuta (within three days) where I was told NYSC discharge certificate is required except the V.I office but can only go for PGD. I accepted since the difference between two or more certificate and masters is 7 points, when I was about to register I was told no network.
I don't even know maybe I should just leave everything till after passing out or I should still push further but I won't be given free time from my PPA.

2021.

Hi Family,
I am filling my ITA application, must i include my spouse's NYSC details under personal history even if i did not get points for it?
pls help

Please read how to get a

Then most importantly, read a summary of the step by step process to enable one move to canada through express entry, so you know what the process involves and where to start.

Hi

leeray30:
Hello All,

Please I renewed my passport after I received copr because the validity will be less than 6months at the time of travel.

Have I done something wrong?

Please Help!!

Prof Ralph has done good justice to your question.

Don't forget to add the old passport containing the visa vignette to this new passport when proceeding to Murtala Mohammed International.


It will end in praise IJN!

If you have the funds to pursue a Masters, why not? However, getting a student visa to Canada ain't a walk in the park. By the way, what stops you from getting PR first and applying for a Masters once u land?

If going as a student first, you'll still go through this process later. So you'll spend a year or two studying, then eventually get work experience for atleast a year in Canada, before even thinking of the PR application.

On the other hand, note that if you choose to apply alone via express entry, you MUST still declare your spouse and child in your application as non-accompanying. If you apply as a single applicant, you won't be able to sponsor your wife and child in future. If you still go ahead to sponsor her, this will be flagged as misrepresentation and could lead to your removal from Canada.

Furthermore, if you eventually declare your wife and child (though not accompanying you to Canada), you'll still be required to show POF for a family of three, PCC and medicals as well. The only thing you'll pay for yourself alone is the Application Fee and Right of Permanent Residence Fee.

See ehn, pls just do your research.

Good day house.. Please I have little concern I would want the experienced ones amongst us to help out with..
My wife ECA just came out and it was stated there that her university(Tansian university) is not recognized by NUC and therefore can't be compared to a Canadian educational credential.
1.Now from the contact we have made to her school, the University is accredited by NUC.
2. Her university is no 54 on NUC accredited private universities.
3. We all know here in Nigeria if your university or course of study is not accredited, you won't be able to go to NYSC.
4. She has her NYSC discharge certificate.
My worries is how did they come to these kind of conclusion ?
What is the best decision to take on such matter?
Please house I need good response.

amen. Congratulations

Majesticniyi:



To God be the glory for the the great thing He does.
The whole story started early 2017. My work is shift based and tends to be monotonous hence, I tend to join various WhatsApp groups to pass time especially on night shift. I cant even remember how I came to join an Ielts group. All I know is one day, someone dropped the link to the Canada group and I joined not knowing what it was all about. I was just existing till I voiced one out day to ask what the whole thing is about and an angel came into my PC and broke it all down to pieces. God bless you Dami *twales for her*

IELTS: This was the first step I took. I somehow didn’t believe all these was for real but I had cash to spare. I was studying basically to see if I could pass it and then go on to other processes. Went on leave at work, secluded myself in a suburb part of Abeokuta and studied like I was crazy. For upcoming test takers, please avoid naysayers and pessimists who keep ringing failure into your head. It is a difficult exam, no doubt but those wey pass am no get two heads. Stay positive and focused. If you didn’t make it at first, try again but firstly analyze why you didn’t get it and study hard to overcome the difficulty. IELTS really needs practice and study!

ECA: This was the part where I got stuck. I was single then and so evaluated my BSc alone. It was a smooth journey with UI an I was done in record time. I jumped into the pool with a CRS of 438 in the later part of the year. I didn’t bother evaluating my OND as 438 was a great score then….till I jumped into the pool late November and IRCC decided to finish me by having draws of 440+. See me see wahala *lol*. I stalled till I gave up and eventually evaluated my OND. This decision was even more important as I was about getting married and I didn’t want to add wifey later (read scary stories online of how those who did and got delayed). Wifey evaluated her BSc too and gbam, CRS of 447 eventually by July 2018.


Medical: This was the scariest part of the application to me. Something kept telling me I have HIV and I would not pass medical. Omoh, I became a legend on medical inadmissibility. I downloaded so much materials, I can successfully be employed as a Canada Health official. Eventually, I passed. By the way, I work in a food processing company and I do quarterly food handlers test so I should have known I was safe anyway. More so, the new threshold makes it even less complicated for people with health issues


POF: Advice for those who let this pull them back; learn to trust God. He opens doors for those who are hungry enough to continually knock. Getting POF was a miracle for me. I used 25% of pension funds, fixed an amount for six months and added my bank statement. The case review agent eventually added even the money in the account to my POF even though I didn’t list it in my LOE. By the way, an higher exchange rate than I used was employed in calculating my POF so it was way too much than I anticipated. I got to know this because I ordered GCMS note last month


GCMS NOTE: I ordered out of frustration when it seemed nothing was ongoing on my file despite eligibility haven started early October (knew this by calling). Eligibility was still being reviewed even as at last week Monday when I called. Eligibility was passed and security done between then and yesterday when I got ghost update.

Lastly, someone said prayer is useless on this journey. To each nan his own but I know the 21 days prayer and fasting just concluded by the Winners Family gave me strength, hope and made things happen. God indeed works miracles…me wey never even go Ghana before just get access to Canada goodies cheaply like this.


Note to The Professor, abeg na joke say I wan make you jealous oh. I don’t even know how I passed my writing test fah. Mark me well oh, biko.


Lagos, here I am….


Thanks to all well wishers. May good news never cease in our dwelling

Topsmamen:
No, your spouse cannot claim the 15 points from the wife.

Sthill5:

Ifeoma77 post=75193961:

Hmmmmm this is an interesting scenario. The whole point is for the sibling to provide you with support as you settle down. Your BIL isn't in Canada to do that but his wife can provide that support so it could be argued that the objective is met.
Why not tweet at IRCC with this question and let's see their take on it.

Chai. If only the brother was living in Canada.
.unfortunately the answer is no. His wife is not his sibling. You can only claim points from a sibling

manlikegb:



Thanks for the replies. Thats what I think too, I will tweet the question at IRCC and will let the house know what their reply is. Thanks.

Hello house, so this was the response after tweeting the question at IRCC.

I suggest you pay that tip to get your process going. My hubby had to tip a lady at pg school just for her to click OK in response to WES confirmation, now we Ve got ITA

Olorunwasimi:
Thank you so much. I’m at the verification stage and like you said it’s taking so long. Different excuses; “no light in school, laptop isn’t working, pay me some money to make it faster”.

I guess I’ll keep pushing. Thank you again.

Shyee:

I provided gift deed document (signed on across #20 seal) alongside TBills certificate (that A4 paper printed on in black and white).

Hi,
