My EOR came out negative

L..9
R..8
S.. 7.5
W.. 6.5

BC

Did you remark only Writing?

Good day wonderful people,

Help is urgently needed
1. Husband's WAEC certificate bears Olusanmi Olutobi but the rest of his credentials bears Oluwasanmi Oluwatobi, how can we go about his ECA with WES to avoid issues. Will one and same person affidavit be enough or do we need something else.

2. I want to send I and spouse certificates to WES packaged individually in smaller envelopes with our respective WES reference numbers on each then the two envelopes will be put in a bigger envelope, please apart from WES address, how will i address the big envelope in order to show this.
Thanks

Jafman:
Good morning canadians, please what is the difference IELTS MOD and BC? The only difference I know is that one is 68k and the other is 75k. Please what other things differentiate them. Thank you

For remarkimg: BC is 15k while MOD is 46k+.
MOD loves to give 6.5 in writing. I don't know why. So don't ask me.

Thanks for the response. I created a profile using my old ielts scores (W-6.5), i hope i can still update when my result comes out next week?(Someone said so, but i just want to clarify again) Thanks.

joo2018:
No. Check page 1.

You can use the same gckey, but you must create a new profile.

...and i heard Otherwise, that BC loves 6.5

Anytime you guys give advice like this, please also tell them they are likely going to receive an interview request to go to Accra visa office, to prove that their marriage is not an arranged one. So my advice is this: if you are sure you will get ITA as married, please tie the knot before you enter the pool.

Oh, thanks so much for this. God bless you

Jennypharb1:


Chin up Sir, please don't abandon your plans yet, it'll definitely come.

Sorry about this, have you tried calling them?

Thanks I have. Last week Friday to be precise, security in progress.

CnCstore:


Please i need to know if it's possible to get reference letter ahead too

Does the date on it matter?

I am asking because it's my NYSC work experience that fits in,current job belongs to class C.want to try get it before completion of ECA and IELTS so that i can know if it's me or my spouse that should work towards being the primary applicant since her past and current job fits in.

Yes, you can especially if it is from former employer.

joo2018:
Wow, wow.

Security Screening for Ottawa or are the files in Accra?

Be encouraged.

Lol. Normal processing o. Ottawa be like Accra now o

Great! Thanks

Hello house, I got part of my POF from mum which I have gift deed for already. We used #280 as exchange rate but from the advice gotten here, hubby wants to transfer 160k to my account just to cover up incase of increase in rate. Will 160k be considered as lump sum and will I need write LOE for this also? I'm post ITA.

Thanks.

CanadianNaija:


Lol..I got the famous 5 ADR sometime this month, I've submitted then Silence.

I've left MAP, checking profile, and everything else since. When they are ready they should release the PPR.

Work hasn't been too bad either, got promoted and other stuff so I'm facing my life now i can't come and kill myself. I will advise that you try and do same. Kpele.

Lucky you. Im trying my best to occupy myself but I don't derive any form of satisfaction from my job. Toxic environment.

Popscicle:


I never expected the wait to be this long too. Same VO as you. Everything looks fine on gcms notes. I was hopeful when I saw movement for some august AOR last week. Still hopeful...we will celebrate in the next couple of days/ weeks

Mehn same here o. GCMS looked fine. File was just parked and untouched. Only security yet to start but on my last call, the agent mentioned it was in progress. Was also hopeful with this week with that long ass maintenance but nada. . . May God help us

Amen....it is well. please do not tire ooo. its going to be a happy ending. patience and prayer is the key.

AdetonaDami:
UI does not even have any plan on releasing MSc result anytime soon talkless of saying I want to have my ECA done, only God knows when this wait will be over. This journey is really not for the weak, getting depressed and getting tiring to me as a single applicant.

Thought I could wait but I think I need to find a job just to keep myself busy, another thing is to find a job in this country. I just tire scatter

For everyone on this journey, may God give us the strength to endure and speed processing.
Congrats to all the clinchers in every step cos each step nah story.

Any one here that has done WES verification for Nursing with Licenses at the Nigeria Nurse and midwifery council ?

They are asking for over 50K Naira fr verify license certificate

MY PPR STORY EPISTLE

ECA: 30th March, 2017
IELTS: 6th June, 2017 (LRWS – 8.5, 9, 7, 7.5)
CRS Score: 449
ITA: 25th April, 2018

Express Entry Awareness

I got to know about EE mid 2016 via a Facebook comment. I quickly inboxed the commenter and that was how it all begun.
After several correspondence, she told me they used an agent CANREACH and strongly adviced I used them too. I didn’t know anyone else who had gone through EE neither did I know of platforms such as this. I relied solely on whatever info she gave me and called the agent. To cut a long story short, I had the pay the agent over N500,000. After payment, they sent a mail on things I had to do such as IELTS, ECA, PCCs, Medicals and so on. Prior to payment the agent never mentioned it neither did my Facebook contact.

I later realized my Facebook contact was just a dependant spouse who knew next to nothing about what EE actually entails. My contract with the agent was valid for only 2 years and by the time I was finally ready to apply I have become very informed, I didn’t trust the agent anymore (they became lackadaisical plus too many stories of people complaining about agents needing more money and not giving them access to their application) and the 2 years agreement was almost up. To avoid any stories, I decided to handle my application myself. So, that was how I lost over N500,000.

ECA

After I opened an account with WES and paid for transcript, my school said they couldn’t find my file at all . That means they have nothing with which to prepare my transcript. This dragged for months. My contact kept calling me saying she’s trying but my department insists that my file doesn’t exist. My dear mum got tired of it all and decided to travel down to my school herself to enquire how after spending over 5 years doing a 4-year course, going for NYSC and even PGD, her daughter’s entire file suddenly disappeared. Lo and behold, barely 3 days after my mum show face my file was automatically found.
In the end, I got my 2 or more degrees evaluation.

IELTS

I was quite confident in my English ability but still I studied. The resources I used were ieltsliz, ieltsbuddy and futurelearn. I found ieltsliz especially helpful for listening and reading. Futurelearn really helped for writing.

ITA-AOR-Medicals

I declined my first ITA because my passport had less than 6 months validity. I made the mistake of going to Ikoyi for renewal and even paid for express, only to be told there was no booklet.
Second ITA came and I was determined not to decline. I submitted my passport as it was and then raised a CSE after I eventually got the renewed one. 2 weeks later I passed medicals and In my mind I was thinking I go soon get PPR. Little did I know that AVO had other plans for me and that was how the 9 months long wait started.

After months of uncertainty, ordering 2 GCMS notes, raising 3 CSEs, signing several petitions and going through a roller coaster of emotions, AVO finally broke their silence. An interview invite!

Interview

My interview was scheduled to hold 14th February in Accra. I was asked to come with just about everything pertaining to my application. Even the job I got after AOR which I didn’t inform IRCC of, I decided to take my employment letter and payslips along. On the interview day, I intentionally got there few minutes before so I won’t have to wait for long but I didn’t get called in till over an hour later. I submitted my documents at the reception.

The interviewer told me the purpose of the interview was to determine my eligibility. All of my documents were thoroughly checked (I arranged them in an orderly manner using office clips but when I entered the interview room, they were all spread out on a table). It turned out that they needed to be absolutely certain of my marital status and that I understood the implication. I applied as married but life happened and I became separated which I informed IRCC of along with the necessary document. The questions were mostly personal and the interviewer wanted to be sure that POF was still intact.

In the end, I was told that I passed the interview and I would be issued a remedicals request as the one I applied with already expired. My interviewer also said that due to the peculiarity of my case, a meeting with another colleague (abi their boss) was necessary but that I definitely will be getting an ADR before PPR can be issued.

Immediately I stepped out of the premises I switched on my phone and remedicals request was waiting inbox. For those of us at AVO (especially those who got interviewed), remedicals request is to PPR what John the Baptist is to Jesus. Right there and then I knew all is well. After walking aimlessly for some minutes out of excitement, I took a cab to a Chinese restaurant and gave myself a treat. Mama I’ve made it!

Almighty PPR!

The following day while I was preparing to check out of the hotel, my phone beeped and it was the ADR my interviewer talked about. Few minutes later while I was talking excitedly on the phone about the receipt of ADR, dearest PPR gallantly came in.

I was relieved. I was excited. I was weak. I felt like I was floating. I really can’t describe exactly how I felt.

Remedicals

On getting back to Nigeria, I struggled to get remedicals done. Qlife was booked till April and they couldn’t squeeze me in while IOM said the earliest they could do for me was first week of March. I decided to write to Accra asking for an extension but after all the suffer when I don suffer, I really did not want to extend anything. That was how I came across @Hobyno offering his Qlife slot to someone who was also looking for an early date but fortunately the date was too soon for her . I quickly went inbox to beg him for the slot and he graciously agreed.

Once again, THANK YOU @Hobyno.

Two days later, as at 6:04am I was already at Qlife for my medicals. Before 10am I was done and headed straight to VFS for passport submission.

My brethren na so o like joke like joke, my dream turned reality before my very eyes.

My journey was a long and bumpy one but las' las', na God win.

I'm coaching some people. Those that registered w/ BC aced their writing easily more than those that registered w/ MOD.

Best of luck.

Not necessary. But to put your mind at ease, you can write the LOE.

Lucky you. Im trying my best to occupy myself but I don't derive any form of satisfaction from my job. Toxic environment.

I understand sha, it's well. If i knew that it will become a prayer and fasting thing from the start i'm sure i won't have bothered to try, thought it was straightforward as long as you're qualified under the program.

But we have started the journey, na to complete am remain.
Just hang in there, but if the toxicity is too much for you at work i will advise you resign.

It makes no sense to put yourself through the torture, you can even see it as taking time off.

Congrats Zutlin! A bumpy ride indeed.

Thank you both so much.

Please if anyone here has any reservations or bad experience from CIMA and express entry, please don't keep quiet.

Please did you get a response to this?

I would want to be sure WES will evaluate it as a 1year diploma even after they have evaluated my BSc with them, because I am just about considering this CIMA or BCIT.

Thank you,
