ladymarshall:


Since I am sensitive to the desire of the majority in group forums like these, if most of you are uncomfortable with my marking style and would prefer another, please indicate. I will humbly step down. I don't respond well to soft threats It's nothing personal really, just for the benefit of all.

MrPein:


I used ieltsbuddy.com and the cambridge series. Got 8.5.

Choose True if the question or statement can be found and correlates with what is written in the text/passage even if it has been paraphrased. They are often times paraphrased to confuse candidates.

Choose False if the question or statement can be found but DOES NOT correlate with the information from the text/passage. Paraphrased or not.

Choose Not Given if the question or statement CANNOT be found in the text/passage even if it feels true/false based on your experience or knowledge.


Hope this helps. All the best.

I learnt T,F,NG using IeltsLiz. The key thing with the reading exam is time management. Answer the questions you find easiest first and the harder ones last.

Aim to finish in 35 - 50 mins and then use the remaining time to go over your answers - especially the answers you are not, sure of.

Do let me know if you need any further help.

Good evening all,

Please I need clarification on sths.

I am Pre-ITA, currently sitting in the pool and I already got my reference letter from HR dated May 9th, 2019 (Level - ET) However, I recently got promoted and my promotion letter is dated May 10th, 2019 (New Level - ABO). The job function, Title (Relationship Officer) and working hours did not change, the initial letter also did not carry salary amount.

To my question:

1. Do I need to get a new reference letter, even though nothing is really changing apart from the level? Or can I just submit the old one without my promotion letter?
2. Since my salary wasn't stated, and our payslips do not carry official logos, can I just print my statement and highlight all salary payments?
3. The promotion came with salary increase which reflected in the last salary payment. If I do not submit a promotion letter as proof of the increase in salary amount, will it raise any queries?

Looking forward to your great opinions.

Arosam:
Wow!! You practically turned this into an essay question
And you gave a good model answer.

Thank you so much for your kind reply. I tap to your PPR blessing. Am so happy you answered me.

Stencil:
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.

Lol @ladymarshall just saw your mention. So full details below. Forgive me in advance, I am not a good story teller.

Tried calling IRCC a couple of times but I was never put through to an agent. On the 28th of Dec 18, I decided to call them at 8am Toronto time and was successfully put through to an agent who informed me my file was in Accra!!!! . In fact I almost wept! If I had known, I would have kuku prayed against Accra and London. Anyway, I sent Accra an email in early Jan 2019 requesting for an update of my application, got the generic response "your application is in queue for a review". Prayers intensified o.

People constantly come on this thread and ask why people with good and well paying jobs are leaving, my constant thoughts are; the good jobs or money can't save you in this country if push comes to shove. I remember a friend's father died from preventive causes the afternoon of the day I submitted my application which was a compelling factor to submit it that day although I still wanted a day or two to still go over it before submitting, but the news shook me to my core. I want my kids to not have to struggle for the bare necessities of daily living and have access to the basics at least of life when it really matters, God keeping us all. So most times when people leave a job paying in high 6 figures for instance to migrant it is mostly planning for the future, giving kids more opportunities that broadens their chances in life as well as peace of mind for daily living; for instance I have been running on generator for almost 4 weeks as 'transformer don spoil', even when it was good I barely had 6 hours electricity daily, this is not living!

my final thoughts, keep busy while waiting. Don't put your life on hold, keep moving. I have changed jobs and moved cities in the course of this process, I know it is easier said than done for most people. Also be straight forward, keep your application simple. This thread is a goldmine and I tell people that if I direct them to this thread to DIY and they still require my assistance, they will have to pay for such services. This remains one of the most straight forward immigrant processes i have seen so far.

You can try reading about their process and requirements, timelines etc on their website while waiting for someone who has used them or currently using them to shed more light.

I have not fully reacted to getting COPR yet. It has been a long process. I don't even know which is more draining: waiting for PPR or those short weeks between PPR and COPR, imagine having to wait twice!

Below is my rough estimated costs on this journey so far, know the journey has not ended lol. I will put it in all different currencies I used ( rememeber I mentioned at the beginning of the journey I was literally a nomad):
IELTS: £169, TRF courier CFA 20,000
ECA: CAN$233
Nigeria PCC: 10,000NGN (oga Moshood had a field day). I was away from the country at the time so had to finger print and courier to him.
Courier cost: CFA20,000
PCC UK: £55
Medicals at IOM: 41,400NGN *2
POF: single applicant but showed funds for family of 2
RFRP: CAN$ 1,040
Passport Renewal: 25,000NGN
GCMS notes: US$15
Passport transmission + courier: 30,480 * 2
I have not even included flight fares as my city does not have a panel physician
Reason I have decided to include these costs is to give newbies an idea of what it entails. The process is not particularly cheap but it is sure worth it. At least I have secured a better future for my unborn kids by God's grace and to some extend my immediate family.

my final thoughts, keep busy while waiting. Don't put your life on hold, keep moving. I have changed jobs and moved cities in the course of this process, I know it is easier said than done for most people. Also be straight forward, keep your application simple. This thread is a goldmine and I tell people that if I direct them to this thread to DIY and they still require my assistance, they will have to pay for such services.

ZeezeeMula:
Hello house, I need someone to help me with some issues. I am new to all these Immigration to Canada brouhaha. I didn't give it a thought to leave the country but the situation in this country is something else.

I checked the website here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp to see if I am qualified to apply to Canada but got discouraged. I really need to get 67 to qualify.

I am presently 34 years old and have a B.Sc in Accounting from UNIBEN, and a 5-year work experience with an educational institution. I am yet to sit for IELTS but hope to do that soon. Is there a chance for me to meet the 67 points needed to qualify? If not, how much will getting an ACCA certification affect my qualification chance.

Thanks in advance

I untend to use CES for my evaluation of Credentials. Can someone please enlighten menon the process because am kind of confusen with payment

hipstar2:


Hmm! Pull out fire! If I hear say you pull out. Babygirl, you will laugh last. But you have to summon up some courage. Shey you are a believer abi? Now is the time for you to start exercising your faith. Oya, do as I say. Untie your wrapper, shake it well to remove any fear, sadness or hopelessness. Now tie it back, knot it well cos the journey isn’t for the faint hearted.
1. Follow all the steps below with prayer and faith.
2. Joyfully thank your husband for saying you should go ahead with the application. Tell him that ‘you can not do anything without his permission’.
3. Stop trying to persuade him to write the exam.
4. Apply as unaccompanied. I hope ur score alone is enough. You can tell him spousal application takes 6 months or just go silent on the unaccompanied. Yorubas will say ‘Ibukun ni fun omo na to fi ogbon shey.
5. Hopefully you get ITA.
6. Start talking to everyone you know bout POF. You are not spending it, make them just help you. Now you see this stage ehn, you will almost lose hope. But I’m trusting God on your behalf. Ask your hubby for POF too. Remember to carry him along every step of the way.
7. Submit your application.
8. About how you will cope? My dear, na God oh. God forbid anything happens to your husband’s enemy, you no go cope? (in Nigeria for that matter).
9. Make we bet, he will come round! When he no be enemy of progress?
10. Pls don’t fight him whether he helps or not. The road is tough oh, I kid you not. Cos as you dey pay for medical from ur pocket and he’s there at Children’s practice looking like ‘wetin be my own?’ You fit wan nack stethoscope for him head. But thou shall not. Patience and prayer wins the race.

All the best. I look forward to your PPR story. Feel free to send me a mail anytime you need encouragement.
