Hello everyone, Thank you for all the questions and responses.They help alot. I always come here to read from time to time to keep myself up to date. Thanks to @Allegory and @Prettiepearlz for encouraging me to retake IELTS the 4th time.
I was sitting at CRS of 466 all year and I realized that[b] if i dont do something nothing will happen[/b].I decided to take IELTS again.IELTS CBT : Dec12 Result was released on Dec 17: L9,R9, S7.5 W6.5(standard score in my location) requested EOR immediately .EOR results came back on Dec. 21 and wirting changed to 7. Since my reading score improved compared to my previous IELTS i was able to gain 3 points to add to my 466 so CRS was 469.Got ITA for the draws that happen on Wed 23 Dec.

Congrats, this is so good to read.

thanks, i have BSC, 29, wanted to register for IELTS but when i calculated my CRS score assuming SLRW , 7,8,7,7. I got 429, tried with highest IELTS score I got 441. I had to suspend the IELTS and decided to go for ACCA F1-F3 so I can claim 2or more degrees, certificate,diploma..I assumed IELTS to be SLRW, 7,8,7,7 again and with ACCA I should be around 462 and with Highest IELTS score and ACCA I should be around 474. PLS help me confirm if my assumptions are accurate or help me suggest fastest route to improve my score.
thanks once again.

Your calculations are correct.I would advise you consider scoring the highest in IELTS so you can get the maximum points attainable i.e L8.5 R8 S7.5 W 7.5 . It is very possible to get that score.
Also, consider how long it will take you to write the ACCA F1 to F3 .would you still be 29 by the time you finish it and complete WES? If no, then use age 30 for your permutation. Also, is ACCA your best bet?
Is there a masters program that people are doing now in Nigeria and is recognised by WES and takes a short time to complete? Make those findings before picking an option.
The recommendations above are just my thoughts.I am not an authority in this field.thanks and best wishes.

ladykilllar:


Well, as long as your transcript is with WES and you are expecting evaluation you are on the right track. From the given details your crs score should be around 473 which should get you ITA before April, 2021.

Thanks, I appreciate

Please how does one know the visa office where your application is being processed and how soon after AOR can one know this?

thanks so much for assisting.
I don't think there's any masters in Nigeria that will take less than a year and from my findings ACCA F1 to F3 seems to be the fastest and cheapest route.
ACCA cost analysis:
registration 20k
exam roughly 115k
ECA using WES say 75k
miscellaneous (book, materials) say extra 25k
total #225k
Duration: learnt you can ace it within 6months max and 3months with intensive studying.
my fear is that I am yet to see someone that got Wes evaluation and secured a PR using this route.

another option I am considering is Noun PGD
Noun cost analysis:
form 7,500
school fees 180k max(+project fees)
ECA using WES 100k
miscellaneous (books materials) say extra 30k
Duration 1year.
total #317.5k
still making enquires to get more accurate information about noun but I don't think it will be cheaper than ACCA F1-F3.

pls my seniors or fellow aspirants I will appreciate if any mistake in my analysis is corrected.

Nickxander11:


From your last sentence, are you saying it's not necessary to include bank statement so the application will be as "simple as possible'' ?

Yes that's what I'm saying. Of course in addition, you need to submit the document that actually shows that you have the money (POF) eg investment letter, FD certificate or even just bank letter sef if what you're doing is just keeping the money in an account.
See this, I hope it helps clarify any questions you have on POF.

Now, that's clearer.

For a defunct company, I doubt your salary inflow to your account would matter much, there are more specifics for meeting the criteria. In my case although not defunct, documents such as Employment letter (front page), Contract letter, Resignation letter, ID Card (front page) are things you can use rather, and then maybe just in case, you MUST, then the Salary inflow for the period (highlight it) which I still think will be cumbersome. Then, well-drafted duties that match your NOC on a plain paper, you can even notarize this letter to give you more peace of mind and sleep

Also, there is this thing people do, if you can reach out to the CEO/MD/Supervisor he can also draft out a letter for you affirming that although the company no longer exist, and that they had a good working relationship with you during the period your duties include; A, B and C. Then, go to LinkedIn and make them your connection (this works like charm). Most of your colleagues will clearly state that they work in the company from a period to another, if this matches for 2-3 profile, this might just be your golden bail out.

All the above, in addition to a well structured LOE explicitly stating why you cannot meet the criteria in the required format.

Things to note about Reference Letter is the 2 paramount things of interest, in fact, 3 is essential;
1. Evidence of Work being a close match/related to the NOC in your application.
2. Evidence of Work hours equivalent to Canada standard full-time work and duration (at least one year of continuous work - 3yrs max point)
3. Evidence that you were paid (which usually has lesser importance) because there are no restriction to how much you should be paid
Then other less-vital details about the organization (if it can be verifiable etc, in your case this is not possible, but really is of lesser use, self).

_{I hope this is helpful, and I'll like to thank you for reading.}

Hi, pls I sent you a mail, I need your advice.

Raise a Case Specific Enquiry CSE. The link to do that is in your AOR letter. Most people wait till after BIL or for 2 months, whichever comes first
You can also call. But load a lot of airtime as wait times can be long

Obtaining ACCA or any other certificate is the only way forward. I am in the same shoe with you.

I don't understand, pls explain better

Miredo:

It may be better to use your regular account, since you already have data on your account statement. From there you can move it to whatever investment or fixed deposit or account you would like to move it to. In case you need to submit a statement of account at any point.

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for responding to my enquiry the last time.

Please I need additional guidance. I created an EE profile and mistakenly stated the Country of study for my BCS certificate as England because BCS is located there. I have received ITA now and I'm being asked to provide a Police Certificate from England which I cannot get because I have never lived in England.

Please is there a way to change the Country of study back to Nigeria or engage IRCC to explain and rectify this mistake? Or would I have to decline the invitation? I have declined once before because of another mistake.

Please advise me. Thank you.

You can change it to Nigeria, include it in your LOE stating the exams were conducted in Nigeria. The system will automatically remove the England PCC request.

I don't understand, pls explain better

When you are to receive the lump sum of the gift deed from your benefactor, let them send it to an account you use regularly, not a new account created specifically for the purpose of POF. I know people want a means not to touch the money, so it doesn't reduce. After you have received it, you can then move it to anywhere you like eg investment, mutual funds, fixed deposit, dom account, leave it in that account or keep it in your newly created account (I don't advise this because your average monthly balance on the bank reference letter for this new account will be low)
