Hello Seniors, Please can you help with ICES current process

Has it changed from this? I've been away for some time

*Copied*

Type ICES ECA evaluation and detailed process pops out.However,click on *apply now*, fill in your details,your reference number with A000.....,will be displayed,take note of that then after filling it,scan and upload original B.sc or whatever degree you have in coloured as well as your international passport.There is a placeholder for each document.Of you are married,upload your marriage certificate in the placeholder for*others* this is important to prove the reason for discrepancy for the names in your certificate and international passport.

Go ahead to make payment with debit card as it is accepted notwithstanding their website specifically said only credit card is accepted.Courier fee for Canadian address is $26 while international address is$75.

Then for official transcript,your school *must* send it to ICES through the school's official email address or they can courier it to ICES.Official school email address should not be yahoo or gmail.

I would suggest you follow up with your school so that once the transcript is ready,you can create an ICES acccount,submit then send the reference no to your school to submit the next day or so.

They only send acknowledgement of documents,and completion of ECA to your email or you can log in to your account to see it too.

Once your school sends your transcript to ICES,send them a mail to confirm receipt and you will get response within 48 hrs.Goodluck guys.

The whole process was 5weeks.

Do what makes you happy and leave others to do what makes them happy.

Happiness is a thing of the mind, and happiness can only be gotten by contentment, and gratitude for life, and not necessarily by your environment.

You both have made my day!

Good morning Folks.

Quite sad, so many people are excited to flee their motherland to help grow and build up a white man's land. It's just like what my friend used to say, 'immigration is modern day slavery except this time they do not have to forcibly chain able bodied men to slave ships or rape our women, they just make it easier for your youngest and brightest minds to simply emigrate in droves'. Who will build this country if you all leave, have you ever thought of that? You think once you run to Canada you will still have any reason to return home? How about your kids? Do you think by taking them to Nigeria for 3weeks vacation will entice them to one day relocate to their father land? Sure nobody thinks about these things. The biggest problem the black race has is selfishness while the white man thinks about the greater good of a community. Everyone only thinks about what will benefit them and their family and that's where it ends. Even in the so called abroad, your fellow Nigerian will not want to accommodate or guide you because they think you will be better than them. Common info about schools, work or getting certain government documents, your fellow Nigerian in the diaspora will not help you. White countries and white people In general are successful because they collaborate and help each other. U.S, Canada and the UK are amongst the most developed countries today due to strong trade and military alliance. A white employer will hire a fellow white man for a lucrative job position before he hires an immigrant with the same credentials.

Before anyone says I'm ranting because I was denied Visa or whatever PPR thing you guys relish here like a lottery ticket, I also used to think abroad was the be all end all after graduating from university. I also hustled and eventually left Nigeria. I made $265,000 that year working several overtime hours (I have the W-2 and tax return forms to prove it) but I was never really satisfied because this part of me kept feeling like I betrayed my country. It takes a special kind of person to self reflect and then decide to walk away from a lifestyle of adequate security, good health care system, great schools, cheap food and law & order but without any sacrifice, Nigeria will perpetually remain a 3rd world cesspool. I moved back, got a job and started a mentorship and scholarship program where we find youths whose families are unable to pay their elementary and secondary school fees and we partner with local businesses to raise funds for these kids. School isn't for everyone, we also train several kids in IT, carpentry, plumbing, construction and mini importation. Has it been easy? No. Do I sometimes miss the convenience of my 2 bedroom apartment in north Los Angeles? You bet I do. But do I feel accomplished knowing that I'm making a positive change in small ways that will alleviate poverty, possibly reduce crime and put more food on the tables of a few Nigerians? Certainly.

The UN needs to look into countries like Canada that take advantage of the dire situation in Nigeria and prowl on our brightest and youngest minds for the sole purpose of developing their country and replacing their aging workforce. Just today, their Prime minister was begging President Buhari to give him 1 million Nigerians. This just sounds like the year 1756 where the white man met with local chiefs and traded silver, mirrors and gun powder for African slaves. While I know most of you have made up your mind to flee your motherland, the least I can urge you to do is to find reputable charities and NGOs in Nigeria and donate to them once in a while. Goodluck.

LONG VERSION

I have a dream that all of our hopes and dreams about Canada will come true AMEN.

ladymarshall:


For some of us on this journey, our minds are prepared, we do not expect Canadians to roll out the red carpet and welcome us with trumpets and basket flowers. Who said it will be easy? Is Nigeria easy? Is anywhere easy? We know it will be hard and there will be discrimination but isn't it the same with Naija. Can a Mr Oduduwa buy land in Ahiazu Village, Imo state? Can a Mr Musa just go to Bayelsa to buy one of the oil wells? Or course,

Please would also appreciate help with NOC.......my JD matches NOC 1212. Wouldn't mind if you can help look through.

Thanks

True word ooooo.....

Make i say mine too....worked with a well known pharmaceutical company in Nigeria for good four years. Company that has been existing for over 60years oo (some fit know). And all that time they were deducting my pension and tax from my salary (wey no even reach anything and them owe join...M.sc holder ooo) and they never remitted to my PFA...my account is zero balance....pls is that not daylight robbery, and corruption at its peak...someone's sweat and hardwork. My own no too pain me sef. My boss who worked all her life for the company (29 years of active service) resigned and all her entitlements amounted to about 15million but 1kobo she did not receive. Now company has been sold...many have died coz of high blood pressure and hypertension. And we have so called PENCOM, Labour unions...So what other form of slavery would be worse than this.....#smh

Was once denied American visa after wimning a lottery and the agent decided to merge me with another person and presented you as a couple. Our stories didn't gel so obviously the application was turned down. I'm worried this could affect the present application and also, what possible reason can i give for the visa refusal that I won't come across as being unfaithful?
Never thought this will haunt me. Anyone pass through a similar situation?



On a brighter note, WES sent out my degree for verification before receiving WAEC. Or is it the norm? . I just hope the remaining process is fast

Teqla:
Please can this be used to claim one year job experience, Seeing that the duties were only stated from official employment date......and not training date. Will appreciate your response

Do you think a CRS of 412 or 417 at the minimum holds some hope? I want to see if there are chances before I take the plunge and start the process. I wouldn't want to waste funds and energy if these scores stands no chance at all. I got the scores using the CRS tool & recommended IETLS scores of L-8, W -7, R- 7, S -7.

The decision to migrate was made in early 2017.

Evaluated my master degree with IQAS and hubby's ND/HND with WES.

We wrote IELTS 9 times (mine 8 and hubby 1)

I passed IELTS at the 5th attempt with LRSW - 9777

Unfortunately, this placed us at 439 and went for two more with 0.5 deficiencies in writing.

I then took the last test on 1st December 2018 and had LRSW - 8.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5.
This breakthrough in writing came when Dr Benson offered to teach and review my write-ups. Our CRS score then moved to 445

I never got tired of writing the exam as it was the only mountain before me that needs to be leveled for us to have ITA.

My utmost thanks goes to the God Almighty !!!

I also thank my friends Oby, @Zinggi and @Wasseynet for always being there to listen to my silly talks and unnecessary worry at odd hours of the day (you all will rest now).

Thank you so much Doc Benson for bringing the breakthrough in my writing.

To as many as are looking unto God for PPR, the Lord will grant it.

This is entirely my opinion
You need to first get a divorce letter if you are no longer "married" to the person. Be truthful and write the reason given to you for denial and pray God helps you with it
