No, WES does not evaluate ICAN.

No, WES does not evaluate ICAN.

Thanks. they evaluate it but say it is not comparable to a completed Canadian education credential.
They evaluated it for me in 2015 as equivalent of 2 years professional study.
Someone told me it had changed in 2017 and that he was sure he had seen someone post that they assessed it as BSc

In that case, give it a try. You can contact them directly to ask their position on it, https://www.wes.org/ca/contact-us/

 

[abyurla]

Yes of course, i had already contacted them, still awaiting their response but since one of my friends told me he had seen someone post that it was evaluated as Bsc, i decided to do some search on the internet.

It turns out they do, however it seems that the year of qualification may have to be 2014 and later. i qualified in 2000
I tried to insert the person's evaluation result. hopefully it shows else click on the link i inserted. But yes it was evaluated as BSc 3 years

I also saw that post on nairaland and checking to see what year is applicable to receive positive evaluation for ICAN charter. Hope you quoted the year you received ICAN charter in your enquiry to WES.

Greetings House. I've got 2 questions.

I received PPR 2 days ago but i'm confused on where to send my passports cos it wasn't stated in the PPR mail.
Do all Nigerian residents submit passport to High Commission Canada, 42 Independence Avenue, Accra, Ghana ?

Secondly, as a single unmarried applicant, do i leave the family members section blank on form IMM008 (PR Application Form) or include names of Parents/Brothers/ Sisters. An Additional Family History form was also requested for, along side the form IMM008 in the PPR mail.

I look forward to your reply.

Hello dremmzyb,

You are expected to send your passport to Accra Ghana if you applied from Nigeria. If you check the email from which you received the mail, it should be AccraImmigration.

Regarding the form imm008 you should leave spaces relating to spouse and children blank since you are single.

To God be the glory for all the wonderful testimonies.

I am not an exception on this testimonies galore.

My journey to Canada began in 2011. The application was not successful because it was poorly packaged. Sometimes when God is working for us, we don't know, we get impatient and even feel unlucky.

I chose to follow my dream again in 2014 and the shadows of the 2011 application actually chased me. I applied in August 2014, and got PER in December 2014. While August applicants received medical requests in June 2015, I received long additional requests much later in August 2015.
The requests was posted by my friend on this forum "Canadamyplace". It attracted lots of comments; mostly not encouraging. I was told to forget my Canada Dream by some that I called privately on this forum to explain my predicament to.
I chose to trust in God and follow my dreams. GCMS notes were ordered in twice in the pursuit and I realized that my identity was been probed. I was accused of been denied America visa and not reflected on Schedule A, whereas I was not, the parenthood of one of my dependent was in doubt, because she had a different birth certificate from others, et.c. I ensured to write to AVO to explain my side and my explanation was accepted.
With the assistance of a very good friend on a WhatsApp forum for FSW 2014, I moved on with faith and followed suit to do a upfront medicals and RPRF on April 19, 2017 and May 4, 2017 respectively.
Our passports were requested for visa issuance in May 10 2017, got our visas and COPR by May ending. Today we are preparing to move to Canada our Dream land by the favour of GOD.
Thank God for his mercies and making the journey fruitful.
Thanks to this forum and the wonderful people.

I must not forget to acknowledge Gentle Andrew for his kind words , though he/she might not remember me again.

God will grant all of us good testimonies as we trust in him.

Actually,I have not been here since last year. This is my first time this year. I am so happy to be a part of your success story. Many more great experience you will encounter.

Cheers!!

Hello all,
I just received a message requesting me to provide information on what i was doing between January and December 2010.
I am 100% certain i provided this information while filling the questionnaire.
However, the letter didn't state i should filling any specific IMM form, just that i should provide the information on myCIC account. My question is, is there a specific type of form to fill in providing this information or i could just write a letter? an extra field for LoE appeared in my account. i want to be sure so i don't make any silly mistakes. Pls help me out urgently. Thanks
