Please house,
Can I do my medicals before receiving ITA?
How about police report, can I as well do it before receiving ITA?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Yes you can do medicals before ITA. That’s why it’s called an upfront medical exam. Check with the designated organization.

Police report before ITA, for sure.

I am in Edmonton, Alberta. Yeah Toronto been the technology hub will always have that, but I expected other areas to have things like support which would be basic troubleshooting and managing of the internetwork.

A lot of IT/Desktop support jobs in Alberta call for few years of experience with windows OS, Certs in ITIL, A+, MSCA and sometimes experience with some specific software the companies use for ticketing and support.

In addition to previous advice, see further corrections below:

Beware of contractions (I'm, you're etc). You over-used them. Try not to get used to them. I understand they are ok for informal letters, but many times, it is not easy to make the conscious switch from contractions to writing them in full when you have to write formal. Stick to non-contracted verb forms and it will work well for you in both formal and informal. The way you used them here would give the impression that you do not know how to use verbs in non-contracted forms.

How is the new job? (remove "coming along" )

"Platform" is incorrect here, I think you mean "location" (maybe "branch" could also work)

Write MOD/IDP in full. If you are to use abbreviations, the first mention of it should be written in full. Subsequent mentions can be abbreviated.

Good points for using "feverishly" appropriately. Continue in that manner. Do not keep it simple. Use big grammar, but use it well. Show the examiner that you can write comfortably using uncommon words.

"writing", W should not be in caps (or "Writing Module", so we know you are referring to a proper noun)

Your 3rd sentence, paragraph 2 is great. That is complex sentence (mixed with a question). Please write more sentences like this one.

I am assuming you meant "halt" not "hilt", but remove "to a halt", it sounds colloquial, just write "you're busy"

Technically, "targeting" is correct. But it just does not sound nice when it is written. It sounds better when speaking (Mind you, you must be careful not to write exactly how you speak, some words/sentences sound great when you speak but less desirable when you write them). Maybe it is just me overthinking it. Personally, I would write "I strongly desire a 7.5 score"

paper-based (with an hypen)

handwritten (in one word)/hand-written (Be careful of words like this)

"it's", not "its" (the apostrophe makes all the difference in both words, again, avoid contractions if you can)

I think what you mean is "electronic devices", as against pen and paper. Keep in mind equal comparisons/weightings in comparative sentences.

Avoid simple sentences as much as you can. The last bolded parts could be rewritten as "I hope you understand but I would make my handwriting as legible as possible, although it would take a great deal of effort on my part. I am really counting on you to assist me because this exam is a make or break test for me, especially since passing it would make my dreams of migrating to Canada come through." (flesh up your sentences so you can make them complex)

Your last sentence has a weird construction and is not good. You can rewrite it as "I woud like to send you my practice tests on Whatsapp, however, if you consider it too personal or inconvenient, I can send it via email or other messaging platforms suggested by you" (Note I ended the sentence with a passive noun clause). Combining different types of sentences proves to the reader that you have a good grasp of the language. Using transitional words transforms your sentences from basic to complex which would score you points.

This link has a great repertoire of transitional words which I still consult when I write in my job http://writing2.richmond.edu/writing/wweb/trans1.html

"Thanks a bunch" is too colloquial even for spoken English. Just write "Thanks in advance" or "Thanks very much" or "Thank you".

Also, do not take punctuations for granted. There should be a comma in front of "Dear friend" and "Best wishes".

I got an 8 in writing, so this advice is not the best you can get. Perhaps there are those who got 8.5/9 in writing that can give superior advice. Also, when practicing, target scoring 9 in all the modules and practice hard for those scores (lol, I used the word "target" ). Usually, we tend to score lower than what our targeted scores. If you practice hard for a 9, you might end up getting an 8.5 or 8 in writing. In addition, please spend more time, thought and mental energy practicing task 2 and write impeccably even during your practice tests.

Dear Friend

I trust that you're keeping well. How's the new job coming along ? I hear you've been posted to the offshore platform of your company just off the coast of Alberta? Good luck on that one.

I'm challenging the IELTS exam on 6th April 2019. I registered with MOD/IDP in Lagos and I've been practicing feverishly for about a month. I'm currently preparing for my W riting module and even though I know you're busy to a hilt , would you be kind enough to review my essays for me? I'll really appreciate it. I'm targeting a 7.5 score and I need all the help I can get.

Note though that I'm writing the paper based test, so I'll have to send you photographs of my hand written essays and letters. I know its a little clumsy but I'm trying to practice under exam conditions and I'm not really used to writing with a pen because I type mostly on a computer device. I hope you understand. I'll make my handwriting as legible as possible.

I'm really counting on you for this one. It's a make or break test for me. If you don't want to get personal like on WhatsApp, we can talk via email or any other way you suggest. Thanks a bunch.


Best wishes
Jjohndoe83.

BSc alone is not enough anymore. You need another qualification so you can claim 2 or more certificates.
Popular choices include BCIT, CIMA, CIPM, ACCA or a Pgd. ICAN ATS also works

BCIT

Thought I was the only one who noticed

Wow! Thanks thanks. This was incisive. I have to read this again when I wake up. There's work to do mhen!

I just want to thank everyone who encouraged me after my emotional outburst last year, in part 6, about being frustrated after writing ielts unsuccessfully and was stuck in 6.5 writing after six attempts in nine months. I was encouraged to give it a break, practice well and take the exam again, which I did (someone even volunteered to contribute to my registration fee). Thankfully, I passed this time around! L:8.5, R:8.5, S:8.0 W:7.0.

I am so grateful to this wonderful family, it wouldn't have been possible without you guys!


That said, please I want to ask, how can someone claim points for an employment he was paid cash? I worked in a small company where I was paid cash. The employer didn't issue any pay slip and I don't have any proof on my end other than my employment letter. How do I go about it? Because this job is crucial to my eligibility in terms of continuous work experience.

Once again, thanks every one!

All hail @ladymarshall, the English Marshal.

Wow! Plenty congrats! Your resilience and determination have paid off......beautifully. Congrats!

You can write a letter of explanation to indicate that you were paid in cash during your employment. The employment letter and letter of explanation are okay.

Wow! Big Congrats! Your perseverance paid off!!!

Ask your employer to issue you a salary certificate. Also ensure your reference letter in CIC format clearly states that you were paid in cash.

Do you mind helping out with reviews? Your review blew me out of the water and I'm so upset right now, I almost can't sleep. I'm writing in exactly four weeks.

I might not be able to put the essays here, I'm writing on paper. I could take clear photos and send privately for reviews. Can this work? I can start from Wednesday after I must have revised my methods and done some more practice, that way you get a more refined draft. Thanks in advance.

Don't be upset. Corrections make you better and more aware of your flaws. Better that you know now than after exams.

Chai! Oga, na work you wan giv me o Ok sure. Do it and send privately. Send me task 2. If you ace them, task 1 is a walkover.

I'm not upset because I was corrected, it's more like how did I make so many mistakes, me that I've published in journals Thanks for the jolt, I take it as God answering my prayers to write this once by showing me what I need to know. I'll be in touch. Sending you a personal message.

Thanks for the response. The wahala there is that we haven’t notified them of the resignation even though there is a cogent reason for it. We intend to explain it in the explanation letter we will be attaching and for the statement that won’t be any issue but I want to know if it should stop at this March. Meaning doing from April 2018 to March 2019. because all through 2017 to March 2018 she as on study leave without pay.
Your advises have been very helpful and my tension is reducing gradually. You can see I never fit sleep becos of how to solve this issue.
Thanks again.

Worry not. You'll be fine

1. I submitted my aunt's Passport as the Proof of PR and submitted copies of her recent phone bill, hydro bill, passport (again) and Employment T4 as the Family member proof of status.

2. My aunt didn't have a birth certificate to show so my mum went to National Population Commission to get a letter of attestation for her and also swore an affidavit of relationship at the high court. My aunt also wrote a justification letter explaining the family tree and put her number there to be contacted for further enquiries.

Hello Seniors,

I am Post-ITA, please I need some help

1. what is the difference between Proof of Sibling PR and Family member proof of status. I have the two placeholders and they both seem to refer to my sibling's PR card. Do i upload the same card in both places?

2. Also under proof of sibling relationship, I have my birth certificate with our parent's names but my sibling cannot find his own birth certificate. What other document can be used for this?

Thank you

Dear family. Great job every one. Please i need the format for a colleague writing IRCC in the event i can't get reference letter from my employer. I searched the thread but cant seem to locate something like that.

jjohndoe83:

I see your point about "challenging" I could have used write. I actually struggle with informal communication. I do a lot of formal writing in every day life. That may explain the big grammar.

I'll appreciate if you can direct me to what's wrong with the bolded words. Thank you.

Share the question you're answering. The question is as important as the answer.
