 Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 6 by veryshysomebody: 11:08pm On Dec 13, 2018 |
adeyemi112: If you are in Lagos, visit the hospital one morning, ask if there are people that have not showed up or have cancelled, you can be lucky t get a slot, if not that day, the next. I know two people this has worked for. Same worked for me at Children's Practice months back. I believe this is simpler for individual applicants, especially if you can spare time for it. It is such a pity that people do not cancel their appointments when they do not need them again. Plus I personally feel like if this is not working ad you can spare some bucks for IOM, just do it and let your application fly. 1 Like 1 Share |

[/color]Guest turned new member here... I have been distant from the thread for a while now due to other life matters, but I felt this strange urge tonight to just encourage someone that might be overburdened with worries over IELTS. And no, mine is not close to worst you might have read about. I wrote IELTS three times. Once with MOD and twice with BC. As with may, writing was the thorn in my not-so-thick flesh...and trust me when I say I never esperridit. I know I'm not such a great writer, but hey, not so bad either to fail an English proficiency exam. On my first attempt I felt terrible. I didn't cry, I wept! Second attempt- I was quite optimistic about this one. As expected, I focused more on the writing and lesser on reading and listening, because I considered those my strong points. My speaking was quite interesting, felt like I was gisting with a friend. O the fateful Friday that happened to be the day of reckoning, I woke up, confidently picked my phone and checked with result, I was slammed another 6.5!! This time around I could not cry, I was angry, very livid!! I did not waste time with processing a remark. I submitted and waited for about a month. After so much drama between IDP MOD and I, my result returned unchanged. This time, it was my money that was hurting my chwest! My almost 50k remark money went just like that.!! My experience with this attempt made me have a bias for MOD. This is not totally related to my result, but to the disorganization that surrounded the conducting of the exams. It was shameful. My third attempt came up after taking a break for three months. I felt I was too angry to write another and expect a fruitful result, so I took time to heal. I looked out for more tips on writing and I must say I saw tips and lessons that ranged from very useful to wee you keep kwaayet! God bless the souls that dropped materials here as well, if only people will take time to research the infamous page one, but no, a lot of people want to be spoon-fed (some cannot even open their mouths for spoon to enter, they want to be breast-fed). Sorry for diverting. While preparing for the third attempt I wrote more essays and had an experienced third party read and critique them. I also tried doing my tests as a whole with serious timing, so I'd start from listening to reading to writing. On my test date, I surprised myself. I got lost in my listening module. A whole session was guess work. It was a map. Immediately we finished that session, my mind went, "heee God! Shall I start looking for another 75k?". And to think a lot of theatrics surrounded my eventually being able to take that test, especially my speaking test. I was very disturbed. I thought I had faith but then I started doubting the fate sef. I was ready to register for another exam. The morning the result was released, I cannot even explain how I felt. I was in tears. I could not believe it. I had to send to all my siblings to confirm that that was my result. The feeling was just surreal. I'm so sorry for this long and boring post, but I hope someone gets encouraged not to give up and keep pressing. My story might not have been spectacular, but for a graduate of English Language, I ate the whole of the "humbility" pie that IELTS served me. I'd also lik to encourage us to visit that IELTS materials link on page 1, it houses a lot of materials, even paid videos. If you need to apply for some time off work, go on leave and prepare for the test. Never give up!! Whenever you feel like, just read the newspapers or listen to the news, you'd be irritated by a lot of things going on in here and be propelled to keep moving. May God help us all on this journey...[color=#770077] 56 Likes 1 Share |
