Hey guys!

I just want to share my IELTS experience last Saturday. It might be helpful for those who are taking the test here in Canada.

I took the test at the University of Toronto - Mississauga and if you don't want to get stressed out, leave your watches and other valuables behind. Reason why I say this is because they are too strict here and even check your pockets. So what I did was just bring my passport, Driver's license, a bus card and a few bills para hindi masakit sa loob if manakaw gamit ko. You may ask why it could be stolen, and the answer is because you will just leave all your stuff not related to the test (bag, watches, wallets, CELLPHONES, etc) in a classroom. But the area is really safe. I'm just paranoid ;D

Now about the test, I did academic IELTS before and the only difference I found with GENERAL was the reading and writing test (not sure about the speaking). Fairly easy as long as you are relaxed :)
That's for your school, right? For your CIC application/Express Entry, only General Training is accepted, but you can also take the CELPIP which is computer administered and has more frequent testing dates.

Oh, continuous. Salamat po. And oh, papanotario po to diba? Kailangan po ba freshly minted yung papeles? Wari po, umalis ako ngayon sa trabaho ko para magtrabaho naman sa iba. Kung hihingi po ako ng proof of employment sa kanila at napanotaryo ko po, after one year okay pa po ba yun as proof of employment or hindi na? Kaylangan na ng bagong papeles galing uli dun sa kompanyang inalisan ko?
No need to notarize.
If your employment with that company has already ended: date it was issued doesn't matter, as long as it includes the end date.
For your current company, no set rules, but a good rule of thumb is no more than 6 months of applying.

Hi Bellaluna! Yup, you are correct! I took the academic IELTS for my student visa last 2014 and took the general training last Saturday :)

We're just waiting for my wife's turn to take the IELTS and our WES results and hopefully lodge it before November ends :)

Will keep you guys updated!

Hi Guys,

I just want to check regarding COE or Letter of Reference, since I've work for the same company for 6 years but with different position, should I request for a separate COE for every position? kasi I started as Laptop technician then later become IT specialist and afterwards Consultant Trainer.

Thanks po in advance.

Hello po, tanong lang po ulit sa mga nakaka-alam. Under provincial nominee (nitoMaba), kailangan po ba ng WES dun? Like yung WES evaluated years yung illagay dun o yung andito sa pilipinas? For example, 4years dito sa pinas 2 years lang sa WES. Under provincial nominee (manitoba) ano po ba ang ilalagay?

usually isang COE lang ibigay ng company indicating your job positions with its corresponding descriptions..pero puede i-request mo yan sa company mo na separate letter per job position :)

Based on several posts and what I've read, Canada Equivalency result ang ilagay mo so kung ano ang result ng WES yan ang ilagay mo :)
