Teamo2: No, don't notarize the LOE. I mean, notarize the reference letter if you are writing it yourself. The LOE is just a letter written by you to explain any other information you feel the VO needs to know about your application. 1 Like |

Hello Housemates, brothers & Sisters. I'm just starting to do ECA with WES. I have OND & HND from two different chools, in addition to a combination of WAEC results for 2 yrs. Does anyone have an idea what it would be in equivalence to a Canadian certificate. This process is quite killing and I'm anxious. Thanks for your response in advance. |

Jbelieve: For the past 6 months, you were never sent any instruction to do biometrics? I may be wrong, but from my understanding, if you are ordered to do biometrics, it means you must have passed eligibility, which should include your education and experience. Please let us know if you have done biometrics. Your attention needed! I need you guys to look into my application which I have already submitted. For supportng documents for education(degrees/diplomas), I uploaded only my university certificate(I didn't add the scan of my ECA; I only typed my ECA number on another section earlier where ECA reference number was required). Should I be worried. I don't want the problem the person I quoted had. |

Hello Guys, Good Afternoon, I’m almost 5 months post AOR, VO- Ottawa & After Biometrics, there’s been no change at all on my online profile, so I called IRCC and the lady said criminality, security checks & background checks are in progress that they’ll probably get to me before May, but it may take longer� does it mean they haven’t started with my file? � |

Sadly it isn't. It is not recognized by the various provincial engineering regulatory associations in Canada. You will have to write exams and meet the requirement of the regulatory body in the province you intend to work before you can practice as an Engineer. HTGAWM: |

Good day great people. Please I want to ask something about WES. While registering, I filled in my Msc, BSc and Secondary school details for evaluation but since there's really no need to evaluate the Bsc, please how can I delete/remove it from what is to be evaluated. I've tried but can't find an option to do that. Or isn't it possible. PLEASE I need help� THANK YOU |

Hi Guys. I m still all about waiting for WES, they are extremely slow these days,and its getting quite frustrating honestly. I call them literally every week especially since its well over a month they've received the verification email from my school and i keep getting the same responses - Give it time, they are evaluating. It has become so worrisome. but we wait. I will continue to hound them until i get my date of completion. I am also writing IELTS again on the 6th, since my EOR came back unchanged (LSRW- 8.5,8,8.5, 6.5). This time i believe i m ready. Truthfully though, this exam is humbling. I used to raise shoulder because i had written Academics (which is harder by the way and scored LSRW 8.5,8,8,7.5 previously. Its amazing how things like this can bring one to ground Zero. I hope for the best. Have a good evening e-fam. #WeMove 20 Likes |

[quote author=Eddy4400 post=76911542] And PPR came on a platter of gold....thanks to this thread! If you're a lazy writer like me, I must warn you to start typing your story ahead. I didn't ( ![]() TIMELINE ECA: 27 Aug 2018 IELTS: 18 Aug LRWS 8.5|8|7.5|8 EE profile created: 28 Oct 2018 (CRS 456) ITA: 29 Oct 2018 AOR: 9 Dec 2018 MEP/BIL: 18 Jan 2019 1st ghost update: 16 Mar 2019 2nd ghost update: 20 Mar PPR: 22 Mar 2019 VO: Ottawa No ADRs, Single applicant DECISION TO RUN ....the minute I returned to Nigeria from my masters in the UK in 2017. The pressure to go back for a PhD was high, but I wasn't going to let them turn me to a psycho. My masters was intense, hence, I needed a break. ![]() Sooo I considered Australian visa 476 and the Australian PR, changed my mind. Next was Netherlands work year visa for graduates from the top 200 universities in the world to gain work experience. It's a 1year visa, but I was willing to give it a shot. Started gathering documents, but not wholeheartedly. Worse still, the people on that Netherlands student thread are sooo stingy with info....it would have taken me 3yrs to land in Netherlands. Meanwhile, I knew about express entry somehow but thought I wasn't eligible cos I was a Graduate Trainee then, which wasn't a full time role. Also, where the hell was I gonna get POF from? (POF isn't required for the Netherlands work year visa). Still read page 1 and updates in my free time, but was scared of asking questions. Finally gathered courage and asked the stupid question in July 2018 in Part 4 and got the shocker of my life...I was very eligible, infact, my NYSC experience was more than sufficient!!! WHAT ![]() ECA Used WES, no WAEC requirement then. Considered evaluating my BSc for future purposes...those ones told me transcript is now 21k (flew from 8k I paid prior to my MSc), then posting outside Nigeria 15k...wonderful. Plus the stress I'd go through, didn't want any delay. Respected myself and evaluated only my Masters at £12, the future will take care of itself. IELTS I'm a very lazy writer, so my fear was writing. Observed you score less in the section you're most scared of (using my myself and friends as reference). Having written IELTS academic before (which is tougher than general), I knew whats up. Concentrated on actually "writing" complete letters and essays before the exams, not just reading through....felt satisfied with my writing on exam day compared to my performance in the academic. So I was shocked when my result for writing was a 6.5....went with my gut feeling and requested for a remark. Remark returned positive after 5weeks. By the way, I registered with MOD which I discovered and heard for the first time on this thread. BC was fully booked as usual. POF Was worried this wasn't available pre-ITA as one Uncle laidat I was hoping on kept giving me tales by moonlight. Later confirmed by reading through this thread that it was okay to have the POF in your account post ITA, as long as it was before the 60days deadline. Entered the pool asap and continued gathering docs while waiting for this story-telling Uncle. Anyways, my mum came to the rescue and gifted me 100% of the POF (had to wait for her TBills to mature). Still had 700k jara in my savings account to give it flesh, so CIC won't think I don't have my own money. ![]() ![]() Ensured I didnt hide nothing, included gift deed (sample from page 1), transfer slip showing transfer from my mum, Tbills certificate, generic bank reference letter and 6months account statement printed 4 days before AOR. NB - reinvested matured Tbills in fixed deposit early March... no CSE raised. JOB REFERENCE I switched roles within the same company, so was confused about combining two very seperate NOCs then (I hear it's possible for outland applicants as long as they fall in NOC 0, A or B). Sha used only one NOC, 2yrs experience (1year graduate trainee experience pre-MSc and 1 year graduate trainee experience post-MSc)...this was sufficient to get CRS of 456. No need complicating stuff, though the additional experience in the other NOC wldve shot up my CRS to 481. Job reference was in CIC format drafted by me with go ahead from my boss. @Newmum0615 (this woman is God sent) helped edit the draft which I printed and gave to my boss to sign, not HR. My boss asked for the soft copy for her future use. ![]() ![]() No payslips, no employment letter, no nothing... Just that one beautiful letter in CIC format listing my roles in the company. MEDICALS Funny I planned to complete mine at Prime Medicals in PH. This was no longer possible when I was due to carry out medicals, evidence that the process was getting tighter. Booked ahead with Qlife late Sept way before ITA. Remember shaking my head in disbelieve when I was told the next available date was 9 Nov 2018 - booked this. Called early October to check if there was an earlier date since I was in Lagos and was told the next available date was March 2019. Dropped the call and hissed...they must be mad. Patiently waited till 9 Nov. PCC UK PCC was ready in 3days. Used my sister's address for hard copy, she scanned and sent the soft copy. Used Inspect Moshood for Nigerian PCC @3500 (discovered him on this thread as well). He sent the forms to my email which I filled, thumb printed were applicable and sent back to him. POST-AOR Thankfully, I got busy settling into my new job, so forgot about my application throughout December. Said I wasnt going to bother with gcms notes, CSEs or nothing. However, BIL/MEP came longer than expected, got curious and started checking progress of other Dec AORs on immitracker. I relaxed when I observed others hadn't gotten as well. Later saw a rejection case mid January on immitracker (forgotten cause of rejection) Shuuuuu...I started worrying and included my application in my prayer point that my file was covered from going to AVO (sorry AVO guys). Raised my first CSE on 17 Feb to enquire about my VO and stylishly asked about status of application. Was surprised to get feedback on 19 Feb...VO was Ottawa, eligibility was being verified. Was so happy, dropped a huge amount in St. Vincent's 'help the poor" box the next Sunday. PPR Still on immitracker, noticed late DEC AORs were already getting PPR mid February...ok na. Started checking my gmail daily and CIC account once a week. Even took interest in my spam and deleted all spam "forever" after a thorough check. Come March, number of PPRs for Dec AORs on immitracker increased. Doubled my CIC account weekly checks and increased gmail checks to 3 times a day ![]() Got a reply on 20 March that they can confirm a decision had been made on my application and I should be rest assured that I'd get a mail soon. Jesu!!! Quickly said a prayer for the Agent that sent that mail...God bless him. I then raaaaan to my gmail...nothing. Spam..nothing. Refreshed twice...nothing. Then checked my CIC account out of curiosity and saw the 2nd ghost update - 20 March. Was certain of getting PPR in March. Saw the golden mail yesterday morning and just shouted yaaaasss. Called in sick and went to work an hour late. Gave me sufficient time to re-read the mail 10times and make my announcements to family and close friends. When I got to work, greeted every single person I passed from the gate down to the office....stranger or not. The joy got me in another mood. To everyone on this thread.... Thanks for contributing on a daily and answering all the stupid questions, saved me a whole lotta money! Did I mention I looked for an agent's trouble and was told to pay $3000? I keep getting emails from them with varying discounts till date (if they like, they should discount till $100) @newmum0615 thanks for making yourself available when I and others needed it most, you're appreciated. We'll meet someday in Canada, that I'm sure. A Nairaland party perhaps ![]() To new hopefuls...please read page 1 and understand the process first. Again, there's so much information on this thread. Screenshot useful info for reference even when you don't need it yet, it helped me a whole lot. Stop waiting or procrastinating...do it now! Phew.....thanks for reading 3 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=LadyBR post=77009707][/quote]Kindly advise on raising this cse. The website says they would not respond to people that are still within the timeline, my 6 months is almost complete and I have noticed two application updates on my profile in the last 2 weeks and I am still expecting that good news. How would you advise I raise this cse? What should I ask about. I know my VO already. |

LadyBR: PPR should be close, you can just ask them what the updates are about. tell them you saw that your application/profile had been updated but when you checked you didn't see any update and you'd like to know. If they give you the general response, wait small and send another one, highest them go vex and send you PPR 3 Likes |

johnnybravo1990: Not really sir. Biometrics is mostly triggered after R10 (completeness check- where they check if you have uploaded all the documents you were asked to upload). Eligibility is usually done later on in the process. That's where they check if the documents you submitted justifies what you have used to claim your CRS point. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
