Daring initiative. I would have signed but my application is still in consideration by CIC, too risky. I think it is unlikely the petition would have any effect. It would take a revisit of policy to change this, not just a petition and it will be a long bureaucratic process. Besides there is a huge number of people in the pool who have score 7-9 in writing, so there is little incentive for the change. But at least your petition stands a chance. I would advice you find other ways to boost your score to 7 or 8 since that is more within your control than waiting for your petition to gain momentum and perhaps incite a change.

All the best to you in the process

Good day fam,

Please I need your help on my EE profile, I submitted it since last year September and haven't checked it since then. I now am trying to do so and after signing into my account using my GC key, it just shows me the first attached image. If I click continue, it takes me to the second image and then the third.

Am I doing anything wrong? Can I get to my account by using any other links? I am kinda confused. Also can I build a new profile? Would it affect my previously created profile? What happens to my UCI and Profile No that I was given prior to today? Would creating a new profile mean I would have to sign up for a new GC Key with same details as the previous details I supplied for my previous profile?

I am sorry I am asking a million and one questions but I urgently need help on this. Thanks fam.

I have been reading a lot of comment on this platform and it really gave me a bit concerned to know more about Canadian work permit and also get advice for the next step to take.

I paid agent money to process my brother Canada work permit visa, after 4 months, I got the message that my brother Letter from Canada Immigration has been approved that he wants to book an appointment for biometric so he can go to Lagos for it.

Please, brothers, I don't understand what he means by Letter, can someone explain to me what it means and next step to take so I will know how to follow him..

I will appreciate any advice but no insult pls

Hello fam,
I have a 4 years experience of teaching mathematics in a private secondary school, while going through the NOC 4031 for secondary school teachers, I noticed a bachelor degree in education is required. However, I have only a BSc and no teaching degree or certificate. Is it ok to apply for the EE with a Teaching job description without a Bachelor of education or other Teaching certificates?

I would be the most ungrateful being if I didn't share my story here. This is not PPR (at least not yet), but I just conquered IELTS on the 10th attempt, still awaiting result of the 11th and a remark of my 9th. First of all, my ultimate gratitude goes to God Almighty for giving me the resilience to fight though these trying times.

My first IELTS test was April 21 2018, and I wrote back to back on a monthly basis until 23rd May 2019 (the game changer). Months I didn't write, I was hoping for a positive EOR, none ever came back changed. Allow me to state that, the 6.5 in writing was my major hurdle. I have sought help tirelessly on this thread but it was the same story. I eventually stopped practicing for other components again because I knew all the questions and answers in my head already, I mean, after studying almost every day of your life for over 12 months, there was nothing new to learn.

To be brief, my last resort was to contact @JohnnyBravo just 3 days to the test of 23rd May. I ensured I unlearned everything I had learnt about writing and strictly followed his teachings. I'm sincerely grateful to you for your attention and professionalism, God bless you endlessly. For all who are still stuck with writing, please let him guide you. Thank you again bro.

In conclusion, (sorry o but after taking the writing test for over 12 months, my writing has been structured into 4 BPs) while it is not easy, I'd like to encourage anyone struggling with any aspect of this journey not to give up. There's joy in knowing you eventually conquered. I'm positioned for an ITA in the coming draws and may The Good Lord make the rest of the journey smooth for us. Amen.

Ifeom.a77... I hail oo. How is it going na?

Good morning everyone, i just got my ielts result (first attempt) may 23
LRWS 87.577.5

This feels like getting ready for PPR. ......I am a silent reader here.....the journey wassnt smooth but God came through. .....I had had stories of people not passing in thier first attempt and knowing how I had phobia for falling exams, I became very scared ......I booked my exams April thanks to my brother because I didn't even have 1 naira. ....he gave me the condition that if I pass he wouldn't collect his money back (jokinly).......imagine being a lecturer where you set very hard questions for students and here I am in the position of my students....


.in between all this I got admission for phd in April with compulsory lecture attendance everyday.....it wasn't easy at all.....I was worried because my husband works in another state.....I go to school as early as 6am , drop my son then come back around 2pm, head to work till 6pm when I pick my son up....I can't read till he sleeps around 10pm....just 1hr or 2....I was just practicing reading and listening, all Cambridge 14 to 9 and www.ieltsonline.com....I watched all liz and jays video on writing but I still didn't start practisin writing until 2weeks to exams...I sent in an essay to one of my friend who had PHD in english and she was dissapointed, she asked when I was writing and she said only God can help you get 6.0 in writing..

That was when I got @Johnnybrav.vo1990 contact here....initially I was skeptical but the thought of failing pushed me......he was very nice Nd too good....he asked me to practise with pencil and the exams answers sheet because it would help me know how to be in check with words counts....he really tried oh because days when I don't send in essays, he would ask why....he took his time to tutor me and thought be the basics....God bless you sir .....he was

This is where the big blow came, my son fell ill on sunday....I couldnt read nor sleep because my exams was on Thursday while speaking test was on Wednesday. ..I travelled to ibadan on Monday with my son....he was still feeling feverish after taking him to the hospital with sleepless nights and medications, Thank God for my in laws. ......then on Wednesday, my son had fiberal convotion(doctors will understand ) we had to rush to the hospital but he was observed for 2hrs and I went for my speaking test..... i was just praying to God to grant my son good health because I couldn't concentrate well for my speaking test.....test day came, he was recuperating. ......I didn't even read because of him.....I just prayed to God to make this effort worth it and He did......I feel like a burden is lifted.....

I cried when I saw my results because God did great through the odds....I was elated even my husband is now encouraged to write the exams

I pray for breakthrough for everyone at one stage or the other on thier journey.......

Please I need your help....my NOC IS 4011 because I am a university lecturer but my husnand js a polythecnic lecturer, Can he also claim the same NOC. .....wes hasn't sent our evaluation yet, so I would wait because scores with siblings point and without hubby's ielts is 470.....

Ifeoma77:

More like a presumptuous initiative. Basically saying lower your standards so I can get in.
But that's not the even the solution to the problem, because once 6.5 becomes acceptable, BC and MOD will start dishing out 6.0 as IELTS writing scores.
Have you noticed that once someone has a 7/7.5 in listening, their writing is also a 7? Then they rewrite and get 8/9 in listening and suddenly the writing slips down to 6.5.
The petition should be made against the examining bodies, not CIC

Ifeoma77:

Sorry bro, you've been scammed

Alosezele:
Am experiencing delay in my passport processing and I need to register for IELTS ASAP. Is there no way I can use any other means of identification for the registration?

Joromi12:
that is his hobby. He likes being scammed . Check his posts lol

If you have officially changed the name, then yes you should. Otherwise, don't bother

Good morning house. Our people say a closed mouth is a closed destiny I have read through these pages for over 2months and I can confidently say I can pass for an Agent (lolz) but I need clarifications on some issues. I am a seaman by profession Class 2 ETO. I have not in anyway seen anyone with similar job description like me on this platform. Is it that seamen don't apply ? Please I really need help if any seaman has applied for this EE. Secondly I am writing IELTS with my wife this month and WES evaluation is currently ongoing. Please and please can we complete the process from Dubai after this first 2 stages. Thanks

Pls add me to Alberta group

Instead of this fruitless hassle, why not sign up or take up a course with Johnnybravo, the writing maestro?

Ladywinterfell:
Happy Sunday guys.

I've been dedicating enough time to read this thread from part 1 and i understand so many things now. My crs score is 429 (using 8,7,7,7 in ielts) but once I clock 30 this November it will drop to 424.
.
So I think the next step is to get another certificate to boost my crs score while preparing for ielts at the same time
.
I read this September is next Bcs in IT exam.
.
I have just one question please, with no prior knowledge in IT, can I sit for the exam in September. I don't mind coaching everyday from now till September. (I have more than enough time to study)

careerwoman:
Silent reader, been here since 2016.
Glory to God!!
Wrote ielts on 23rd May (1st attempt).
LRWS 8.5/9/7.5/7.5
I started preparing two weeks to the exam with intense practice 5 days to the test day.
I used Jay’s YouTube videos for speaking (this didn’t help me that much on test day especially in Part 1 and 3), ielts made easy pdf for writing (finished the book in one sitting), practice questions on ielts-up.com for listening and reading (I love this website because the practice texts were well simulated and this made me very comfortable on test day) Listening and Reading were my strongholds.
I practiced with 30mins for Reading so on the test day, I finished within 40mins.

Reading technique I employed: I read the questions first, then skim and scan for the paragraphs with the key words in the question. It proved very effective on test day.

Listening: Maximum concentration and knowledge of a wide range of synonyms.

Writing: I wrote only two essays before my test just because I was too lazy to write anything. However, I read a wide range of essays and articles online and in a Cambridge book (Band 9 essays, can’t remember the exact name) I also read ielts made easy and learnt how to incorporate linking phrases and all. On test day, my paragraphing was really poor but I think I wrote fairly well as that was the only thing I was worried about.

Speaking: I was very anxious and time flew very fast. I was in despair after the test because I really didn’t expect the questions.
Finally, I PRAYED and PRAYED.. I’m Catholic so I did a novena to St. Joseph of Cupertino. That exam prayer does work wonders!!
Currently awaiting ECA from MCC..

CRS: 456 (single, recent graduate, 1yr work experience) praying for ITA to locate me when I’m ready. Thank you Jesus

Hello people, to provide perspective to this...... Find below a summary of what happened based on the post on the referenced forum;

The VO claimed the wife, PA, misrepresented job duties. The job claimed is that of correctional and social worker manager noc 0423 & not satisfied invited them for interview bla bla bla. At the end ban!!! He claimed they had pictures etc to back it up but no certificate in training, CAC docs showed the object clause of the Coy was for a different purpose etc. It was a SINP. Again, the Coy the works for belongs to the brother and the VO requested for CAC docs to proof the coy is into such. Unfortunately, like in Naija where a coy is registered to do general contracts and is into pharmacy, it didn't sell. In all, it looks like a set up JD to the VO. We can learn. I believe this can be overturned via judicial review if sufficient docs exist to clear the grey areas.

My PPR JOURNEY PART 2 - IELTS (a.k.a The humbler of men)

Let me start by saying that IELTS showed me shegeeeey! Again error go dey breekete for this write up wella

First attempt. 05/Jan/2019..BC
LRWS.. 7.5,,6.5,,6.5,,7

I went to this exam with all excitement that we were about to enter the process. I never envisaged what was coming, only if we can see the future.

Second attempt 09/Feb/2019.. BC.

I practised soteey, I almost finished all the listening test on YouTube.

Hia!! It came out.
LRWS.. 9,,8,,6.5,,7.5
Remark unchanged... I na-anukwa!!

At this point, i lost confidence in myself. Just like what people say "I have never failed any exam in my life". Not just that I have never failed any exam until IELTS, I have never been an average student. With the help of my husband, I dusted myself and registered for another.

Third attempt.. 27/APRIL/2019..BC

A friend advised me to register with MOD. Stubborn me! I say na the same thing everywhere. A na-emenu!

This time, i practised only writing. I reached out to Wasseynewest and joined his group, the guy is a Saint, I must say. I learnt a lot from him.
I also reached out to Johnnybravo who was very busy with other candidates at the time. He had a session with me. He said that my writing was good to fetch me 7 at least. I said to myself "IELTS na me and you for one leg trouser". I must pass, Iwu!!

Brethren!
It came out...
LRWS.. 9,,8.5,,6.5,,8
I am still awaiting the remark ni!

So Sad.
Infact, I felt worthless.
I cried eeeh. When I see sample writing on IELTS, I just wondered what I did wrong. I thought i had always written what could atleast fetch me 7.
Dusted myself the 3rd time, and quickly registered for another IELTS.

Fourth attempt.. 23rd May 2019

This time I registered with MOD.
A friend chatted me up one day that he had a writing material. He said that he would share the material on one condition,that I must drop all the writing techniques or whatever I had learnt and study the materials to the teeth. I agreed and promised too. After all, what did the ones I learnt fetch.
Na so I read this material bumper to bumper and line by line without thinking of Jay, Liz etc.
On the test day, I must say this was
one of most stressful days of my life. I had to take all the tests same day. I came out of the exam hall downcast and unfulfilled about my writing.I was just blabbering during my speaking test. In my mind, I was planning on the next date to repeat the exam. I started practicing for writing since that day, I focused on Jay and was looking forward to 29th June to write another one because I was not giving up.

Today, I woke up early and broke down in tears . My husband consoled me soteey he tire. When it was 11am, I started purging and developed fever. I thought "My God, why have you forsaken me". Meanwhile, i
hadn't checked my result ooo.

At 12:20pm, Mbanu! Why am I doing this to myself ni!
Brethren!
I checked.. Lo and behold!

LRWS... 9,,8.5,,7,,7

My people, I can't describe the joy. The purge stopped, the fever vanished.
Indescribable joy..WHAT A RELIEF!! I wonder what PPR will feel like.

Veno.rite and Yembla.ze, God will do it for you guys too.
For all those who are still in the struggle, never give up.


The feeling eeh! Chaii!
Chukwu daalu!! To God be the glory.
