Speaking 8.0
Writing 7.0

Needed CLB 10

Please I still can't find where you showed gratitude to God for making you get the desired score on a second trial. Am sure you're aware some people made more number of attempts.

Anyways, congratulations and glory be to God for your result.

I noticed "grin" is now trending here. What happened to those smiley icons??

Anyways congrats to all those who aced their IELTS and those yet to see their results. My prayer is that you shall all get the desired score but in case you didn't, please don't give up. It will surely end in praise, we say here...grin.

Good morning peeps,
please anyone with IQAS valid email address or phone number...and how long do they acknowledge transcripts sent to them ,because my docs was delivered on the 31/1/2018..no acknowledgment mail from them..please help a frd

Your documents just got delivered 2 days ago. Please give them more time. I think they have a turnaround time to acknowledge receipt of documents on their website. You can also check my posts to see my IQAS timeline, maybe it will help you chill. It's actually a wait game and will definitely get to your turn.

A hearty congratulations... @bigfido.

Seriously, some levels of persistence can overwhelm village people no matter how hard they try walahi. It can only be delayed but can never be denied.

Guitarlife:
Hello Guys, I work with a bank and we do not get payslips, how will I deal with this ?

In some cases, you get your payslips by logging into the bank's intranet with your details. Otherwise, you can log a request for the payslips to be spooled by IT.

Ljay17:


Thanks a lot.

At 427, I think you can remain in the pool for a while and monitor the ITA trends in the coming weeks and months. IRCC is largely unpredictable, so no one can tell with certainty the likelyhood of the cut-offs dropping.

OINP maintains that they would keep sending NOIs to candidates in the pool with a minimum CRS of 400.

Finally, it’s not a speculation, it’s easier for them to identify candidates with newly created profiles in the pool. See excerpts from the OINP website below:

‘Prospective applicants to the H Stream are encouraged to create a new profile in the Express Entry system to make it easier for Ontario to identify their profile during its search in the federal government’s Express Entry pool. Please note that if you create a new Express Entry profile, you must delete your old profile.’


Cheers

Thanks for your response. I can deduce from here that it's safer to recreate if one has a score in the neighborhood of 400 to avoid being hit by tie breaker rule.

Tspice2015:


Thanks. Additional documents to employment

I'm assuming you already sent them work reference letter in CIC format. I mean, what exactly did they ask for? Payslips, offer letter, etc??

.

Tspice2015:
With thanksgiving to Almighty God, I'm glad to announce PPR

Congrats.

Please what's the employment ADR specifically for?

Ljay17:
My great Nairaland people, PPR has landed!!!

To God be the glory!

For a PNP applicant in London Visa Office, I think it was pretty quick.

My Timeline:

IELTS: 11/02/2017 L-8.5, R- 9, W- 7, S- 8.5

WES ECA completed 2nd June (started the process Dec 2016, but OOU didn't want me to be great. Paid over 120k to get it don eventually)

EE Profile: 5th June

CRS: 408

OINP usually sends NOI to applicants in the pool with CRS 400 and above. Their process is quite straight forward. If you're in the low 400s and you have CAD 1,500 to spare, by all means go for it!


Wish everyone all the best.

Congratulations dear.

1. Please what do you think is my fate at 427? Should I be looking at PNP route?

2. It appears peeps that get ONIP are usually a few points away from the prevalent cutoff point. Considering the recent trend, what's the chance of getting NOI from Ontario?

3. Can you clarify the speculation of having to recreate a profile to be able to get Ontario's NOI? So many people claim its valid ( that is, newly created profile usually get nominated against older profiles) but hardly tender facts to prove it.

I hope your emotions will allow you respond to me oooo

Owk. I got my appointment letter in November 2016 but resumed fully in February 2017 at my present post (NOC 4011). NYSC (NOC 4031) was done in 2012.
1. What is my years of experience in 4011, should I count that in my appointment letter or begin counting from when I resumed my appointment?
2. How do I get the statement of for NYSC done in 2012 when the said is even dormant?

1. In line with the requirement of paid employment, you should consider when you started and got paid for the job you did and not the date on your appointment letter. You may also consider the date that will appear on the work reference letter as a guide. This is my personal opinion though.

2. Walk into any branch of your bank and tell them you want to print your statement . Mine was dormant too and I just printed it last month. After all, all I needed was just the evidence of payment. Note that some banks will want to cajole you into reactivating it to see if you will continue running the so that it will count for them towards appraisal. Also ensure its has the branch stamp on every page of it.

coolangel54:
I just checked the NOCs now. I intend combining NOCs 4011 (university lecturers) and 4031 (secondary school teachers) to make my work experience 3years. Both NOCs are skill type A. PLEASE CAN I DO THIS AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT IT?

You can combine the two. Just ensure that whichever one you make your primary NOC while creating your profile should be at least one year.

wholesomegrace:


Same for me. Speaking was on 5/1/18, the rest was next day and first two digits read 17

Let's still assume 17 was adopted for uniformity since some folks in same batch did part of theirs in 2017. Subsequent tests will help us conclude.

mrstender:

30th December 2017

That makes the whole thing dicey. One leg of the test is in 2017 and the other leg is in 2018. I assume they decided to deflect to 2017, hence the 17 on the TRF.

We can only invalidate the formulation trick if the 17 repeats in subsequent tests fully taken this year.

mrssam:


Thank you very much. This is very helpful. Do we need to get a port first to get the ECA done? Cos hubb doesnt have a port yet and we need to priotize in order of need.

It's not a must to have port before commencing the ECA process. However, IQAS required a government issued means of identity which port happens to be one of them. Am not aware if WES have such requirement.

mrstender:
Good People,

Just got my TFR from British council and the first 2 numbers are 17 not 18 as explained earlier for those who want to guess the numbers.

Abeg,
In creating the profile do I just leave my hubby's work experience blank since I am the PA.
2. Abeg which one be the date you qualify to do the job. Do I go with the explanation above ie the graduation date on my certificate or the day I start the job gan gan .
Please na this questions dey stop my scuba diving oooo
Epp mi pls

@the bolded. When did you do your speaking?

coolangel54:
In relation to work experience, before I went for my NYSC, I worked as an English teacher in a primary school for one year, during NYSC I also taught English for one year, after NYSC, I taught again for one year in a primary school and presently I am in a university lecturing English and this is my second year in my current place of work. HOW MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DO I HAVE NOW (SHOULD I COMBINE ALL?) AND SHOULD IT BE NOC A? Thank you.

You can combine all. You first became qualified to teach when you graduated and not after NYSC. Don't forget that you might even skip NYSC based on age. So claim from the teaching experience from primary school all the way to current one.

On the other hand, primary and secondary school teacher and university lecturer all have different NOC codes. So while choosing the ones to use, bear in mind that 3 years gives you the maximum point, unless you needed the extra years towards FSW eligibility.

nanaghano:
I finally got my TRF report yesterday after not been able to check online since the results were posted.
LSWR 8.5 8.0 7.0 7.5. I know I did way better in my writing. Imagine my shock when I saw a 7
Considering asking for a remark. Pls what is the time frame for the remark results? Just want to know to weigh my options.
Thanks guys

Na so... If you had fallen short of the target 8777, you would have been shying away from going for EOR. Now that you got it, you want to go for a remark abi. SMH.

Please kindly go for a remark so that you wait for the next couple of months before you get and can use the result. That pool must not be crowded so that the cutoff can come down. **just kidding ***

Make I hear say you no enter that pool before tomorrow's draw.

Shithole

vcole:
hola. I used a letter from my ppa. It stated "vcole was employed as xyz (d position of my noc) who worked for xyz employer(name of ppa) under the nysc program"

Thanks for sharing. Some PPA don't pay Corp . So, I want to assume the stated pay there was the 19k govt pays. Is this correct? If yes, then printing SOA showing the NYSC allowance should suffice as a proof of paid employment?

OJaySeenson:
My brother, me I believe that all you have is performance anxiety. But then again, I could be wrong. I'm surely not the sort to say for sure, cos thanks to God, I have always aced English tests. One thing that did help me while taking my test though, was complete concentration on the recording. I always closed my eyes and wrote down the first answer that came to mind without over thinking. I am sure I missed some, but almost all the time, my answer was right because i have carefully followed every word. Got 9 in three consecutive IELTS listening tests working this way, so it's no fluke. From your practice scores, it sounds to me like you have it in you. Just be calm, concentrate and trust yourself.

@ the bolded....Are you for real? Always closed your eyes during IELTS exam just to concentrate?

Numerous sites and tips advice candidates to keep an eye on the next question for two reasons
* The answers may come in very quick succession so you don't miss it.
** To help you monitor the keywords to listen so as to catch up with the audio if you miss a question.

Please tell us the real strategy you used in concentrating during the test to get a consecutive band 9.

Hello future test takers... Please don't try this in the exam hall.

Canadianfly:


Hahahaha this is some wickedness. Lmao.

It reminds me of my single days in the obodo oyibo some years ago, a guy out of town will be toasting a babe, and she agrees to go visit the bobo. He'll book the flight ticket and send her the itinerary. Babes will be happy and excited and start falling in love and sending pics. Travel day arrives, babe gets to the airport to board plane, the flight people will just jejely tell her the plane ticket is invalid. She calls the bros on phone, and he'll tell her he doesn't know who tha heck she is. Babe is utterly embarassed and carries her kaya home. Those were the days lol

Buhahahahahaha.... Some guys can be wicked oo. How can a guy do this to someone's daughter?

I can only imagine the face of the slay queen at such public embarrassment at the airport. Truly, some things are better left unsaid.

Lamzee:

Please I will advise you to put this down with the following reasons:
1. He sent a Pm to me also cos I needed someone to help me pay for application fee, he told me he used his Nigeria number for whatsapp and he sent his BBM ID,he told him I don't use BBM anymore so I can't continue the transaction anymore
2. To cut the story, I told him to my name on facebook (which I did not ask for his), then ask for my payment details and helped me to pay, I sent his money to him immediately I verified the payment . I can post our chats and the screenshot of my payment

Have you not read a case here that someone made a payment on behalf of another and it nearly jeopardized the guys efforts.

After helping him make the payment, the guy collected the naira equivalent and ed credit card guys that it was a fraudulent transaction and requested to reverse it. He got back his money and WES ed the applicant to raise money order as the only means of payment within a strict deadline or face grave consequences.

How are we even sure you're not an accomplice? Screenshot of chats is no proof? It can be doctored bro.

Citsuokor1:
Goofing all
Pls I need advice on how to immigrate to Canada.
I have done the IELT test with a score of 7.5
Please what are the next stages for me .

Please spend some quality time reading page zero of this thread and the previous part 1 and 2.

Ronke1114:


It’s not just you oh. I finished my reading in 40mins. I was shocked, I had to go through it twice lol. The Lord will see us through

Same thing happened to me for the reading. I went through it the second time. I could have bet with my car (although I don't even have one yet ) that I will have a 9. Result showed and I saw 7.5.

No be BC again? Relax bro and expect the best. Cheers!

mcstan18:




Anyway, I wrapped up a while ago and the first thing was to check the much awaited result. LRWS: 7.5,9,8,8.5 "winners never quit". We go finally make am for this Canny journey

Quite a painful one. Fire again bro. Giving up is not even in the option list,so you can't choose that. More power to your elbows.

Newmum0615:
I was at their bank branch on Wednesday and the customer service agent said the limit is 1k. Now I am confused.

If her total is 1,040CAD and the bank's limit is 1000USD, I think it will still fly.

I know the equivalent of the CAD in USD will be lower than the limit.

happytbaby:
Pele Smileymum, I kind of figured you were not into tech, I wanted to actually respond to Emmasonic that he was being too harsh but ed my personal resolution not to ever get into any quarrels on Nairaland and kept quiet. .

Happy its sorted, do not worry about the watermark at the bottom, its not an issue.

What exactly is too harsh in the question I asked her? Or you just wanted to make a mountain out of a molehill?

Thank God for your personal resolution to stay out of quarrel. The last time I checked, I can't making such resolution for myself.

smileymum:
Emmasonic, I was having issues with ing the app. But I was able to do it last night. But it's the free version and it keeps showing Camscanner at the bottom of the page. But I will be using it that way. Thanks. E ma binu. I am not a techie person so I am slow with these things.

It's okay. Am glad it's all sorted out now. I feel it would have been better to share the particular challenges you face in implementing the recommendations. You would have gotten more specific step-by-step procedure.

All the same, I wish you a smooth sail from here on till the end. Cheers!

Yewwygraceful:

cherryll:



congratulations

I see you

Hope IQAS is giving you fair treatment? What's your timeline so far?

smileymum:
Thanks happytbaby, See what I mean please. I have tried as you said, but it still cuts off. The 1st picture is showing the "Alagbon Lagos" cut off at the bottom while the second is showing the little finger print cut off a bit from the right. Is any of them ok to use like that? Thanks.

You seem to disregard all the recommendations previously given to you. Lots of peeps have advised you use your phone to scan the document and even mentioned the name of the app on play store.

With your phone, you will capture everything and crop out any part you don't need.

Why is it difficult to use your phone for the scanning?
