Okay, thanks

patty827:
The speaking test is more or less like a discussion, it's going to be difficult for you not to be able to answer a question. Just keep talking, doesn't have to be the truth. Visit Liz IELTS page and see past test topics, you can practice with those.

@Topsmamen, @ladmarshall etc

If he is the PA, he should aim for 8777 - LRWS
What is your current CRS with his current score?

CRS 450+ would put you in a favorable position.

Hello... I greet all generals on this thread. Hubby wrote IELTS December last year and got a band 6.5. Is that bad for starting the other processes? He is the PA.

Please verify the Writing part. Make sure it's general and not academic. I sent these to some people not too long ago and haven't reverified since then.

Hello house,

Each time I practice using ielts cambridge, I keep getting between 28 - 32 in listening. Only on rare occasions do I get 35 and above.Please how can I fix this problem as I intend to write ielts next month.Thanks

Use 8777 on the CRS tool and see what you get.
PNP is great but tasking and a LOOOONGG process. If you can get a higher CRS by just rewriting IELTS then by all means go the "easier" route.

BumyImagination:

Thanks Stencil. My Spouse who is the principal applicant is 33, he has 7years work experience, has an Hnd and scored 8,7,6,7.5 (LRWS) in ielts. He scored 380 after using the CRS calculating tool and that's why we are considering a PNP. Is it a right step to take and how do we go abt it?

Marula:
Who has successfully sent Unilag transcript to WES. How did you track? The instruction on the portal says your date will be updated with a tracking number yet its getting close to 3weeks now and Unilag is yet to provide a tracking number.

I've been issued transcript some years back so was expecting it to be fast this time since its in my file already. If you have a contact that can help, please let me know. Thanks.

It took about 5 weeks for Unilag to dispatch my transcript. I hope you used courier? I used NIPOST and after 2months the transcripts still had not arrived so I had to write WES to take out the credential and assess only my MSc. which had arrived and had been verified.

DECISION TO TRAVEL

The decision to travel was made after a close friend of mine told me he was moving to Canada with his family in July 2016. Previously, I was not keen on leaving Nigeria mainly because of the perceived cost of such a decision and the choice not to take any desperate steps to leave Nigeria illegally. When my very close family friend left, I reconsidered my position and decided to make plans to move to Canada with my wife and son.

FIRST IELTS
My first ielts was written in September 2016 and my score was LRSW 6.5,7,7,8. I was not informed about maximizing my scores back then hence I took no steps in that direction. My spouse also wrote the test in early 2017 and her scores were ok...I can’t remember the exact scores now.

ECA
I started processing my unilag transcript in October 2016 and went through the usual delays at unilag. As at that time, I had just finished my Master’s degree in the school so I had to wait a few more weeks to send my Master’s degree request to CES, the evaluation body I used. It took about 6 months before i finally got my evaluation report. In between, my wife evaluated her 2 post secondary certificates with WES and obtained her evaluation report also.

ENTERING THE POOL
We finally entered the pool in July 2017 and were hoping for a miracle. While waiting, my spouse was reading through some information about the Canadian language benchmark equivalent of our ielts scores and we wrongly interpreted that it was these CLB equivalent that needs to be imputed as our English scores in our Express entry profile. When we imputed our CLB equivalent, our scores jumped to 442 and we got ITA with the following draw in 0ctober 2017.

REFUSAL LETTER
We were ignorantly excited and gathered all the necessary documents, submitted our application ,went for the medical exams and paid the necessary fees in December 2017. We ignorantly started making plans for our transition early 2018. The bubble burst happened in Jan 2018 when our application was refused!
This was the turning point for us, the moment of truth. When we discovered our error of ignorance, we made adjustments and I was more determined to make this Canadian dream happen with help from above.
JUMPING THE IELTS HURDLE
I think it was at this point that I discovered this thread and learnt about the need to max my ielts scores. I was approaching my 35th birthday in June and knew I had to make this happen before my next birthday in 2018.
So I booked for my 2nd ielts in February and wrote it in March 2018. The scores released early April was LRSW 9,7,8,6.5. I was disappointed that my writing scores dropped significantly but I knew there was no room for pity party as June was coming! That same day that I saw my English test scores, i immediately booked for the next available date in late May. I doubled my practice in listening and reading using all available resources pointed out. I particularly enjoyed using edx tutorials, ieltstestonline.com and Liz. I also used Jay’s tutorials on speaking and writing.
After my final ietls exams, i was expectant of a good set of scores because I knew the favour of God was upon me and I had done my bit with preparations. The morning in early June when I saw my scores was a beautiful one and my scores were LRSW 9,8.5,7.5,7. My crs score was now 451!

SECOND ITA
After my final ielts scores and my improved crs, I promptly received ITA in the next draw in early June and the cutoff score was same as my CRS...451. I was super excited and I submitted my application 10 days after got ITA because I had gathered my documents ahead and I also had a valid medicals that had not expired.

AOR
After AOR, I was checking my profile almost every day and very active on this thread. Everything was running smoothly and I was really expectant that my application would be approved before my 1st medicals expire. In October 2018, I got an update on my account that my background check had started and I had even ordered gcms notes a month earlier.

THE MEDICAL HURDLE
After the background check update, I got a request to redo medicals for me and my family. We promptly booked for our medicals although the preferred choice of children’s practice was no longer available and booking had become serious hotcake! I came to this house and appealed for slots and swaps back then. I finally got an opening with IOM and we went for the medical exams in November 2018. During my physical examination, a large size tumour was observed and I was referred to a specialist for more information.
This was the point where my story took a big turn, the final diagnosis after batteries of medical tests was that it was cancerous and I decided immediately to go for a surgery in Nigeria in the earlier part of 2019 and improve my chances of a good medical review.
Surgery and recovery took about 4 months and the Canadian dream had to play second fiddle to my health. After surgery, I submitted a number of reports to IRCC as requested and was also asked to prepare to submit another follow-up report six months post surgery.

HEALING...AND SURPRISE PPR
This period between Nov 2018 and May 2019 were one of the toughest of my young life. Thank God for my faith in God and my knowledge of God’s Word! I took full advantage of my understanding of God’s Word to claim my healing and full health restoration while confessing God’s favour over my application. I sincerely was looking forward to July when I was asked to submit another report and was surprised by God when my PPR request came in on the 22nd May,2019.
I was not as excited as I would have been if it had come before the end of 2018 but I am grateful to God for His goodness. I have grown in leaps and bounds in this journey of faith and my Canadian dream. I have no regrets about the refusal and the medical delay because as my mantra was throughout the toughest season of my life...ALL IS WELL AND WORKING FOR MY ADVANTAGE!
Its PPR after about 11 months post AOR...it has ENDED IN PRAISE...the next phase will be far better on the other side.
On a final note, let everyone stand strong... you will tell a beautiful story at the end if you believe and do not give up!
Peace!

Good morning fam.
I'm a fairly new, behind-the-scenes reader who has learned quite a whole lot about EE from this forum.
I'm looking to boost my CRS by taking on a short-term program.
I also want something that'll give me an edge during life after PR (hopeful much ). Hence, I'm torn between starting NACETEM or BCS. My background is Biochemistry, work field is occupational health & safety, with basic knowledge on IT.
Kindly advise & share your thoughts on the pros and cons of either/all of both programs.
While reading up, I noted that Abuja has no serious learning centers for both. Is there any recent update to this effect?

ShininLite:

Peace!

Big congratulations to you and yours! Wow. To God be the glory. I thank God for restoring your health. Congratulations!

I thank God for your life! Congratulations on your PPR. Your faith is very encouraging!
Twas a long and hard journey but it was worth it in the end!

Peace!

This happened to me back in 2017, very frustrating something I tell you! My results were released after 2 weeks of waiting. Some people say that this happens if there's a band difference greater than two in your scores, not sure I believe that though. I'd advise you to give them a call, maybe they can give you more details.

Ekeh2016:
My Niece got this email today from British Council, that her result is withheld

Who has received such letter before and how long did it it take to release the result?

We refer to your IELTS test of 11/05/2019.
Strict quality control procedures are in place to protect the integrity and security of the IELTS test. As part of these procedures, test results are routinely analysed by the IELTS Test Partners before they are issued to candidates.

Congratulations. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors.

I doubt it. WES has sent a verification mail to one of my schools even though the others are yet to send my transcript to WES. I got an email from WES notifying me.

@ans123. However all must be complete before the final evaluation report is issued.
