Please Advice oooo Good People of NL

kimipa:
Hi people,

Please i need advice, my company does not give reference letters to any one anymore, not even regular embassy letters, and my direct boss cannot even write on plain paper and attach his complimentary card cos he does not want problems in future like IRCC calling to confirm job.

Please they did not send email to staff saying they won't give reference, but it was by words of mouth and not written down.


What can i do please treat as urgent.

You can write and attach a notarised letter with your JD and relevant information, also include appointment letter, payslips, bank deposit showing salary deposits etc

See Topsmamen's post

Topsmamen:


Lol@the bolded. Your boss tho

Well, no worries. You can write the reference letter yourself on plain paper and notarize it. Ensure you include your work hours, period worked (from/to dates), salary, job title/description and most importantly, ensure your responsibilities match the NOC you are claiming work experience for and take care not to write it verbatim. Also include other ing documents such as your ID card, employment letter and/or promotion letters, pay slips, your salary showing your salary payments etc.

See this post to get an idea of other documents you could submit.

Hello All,

I need your help!!

1. I have 3 years work experience in my current workplace. Is that enough to claim points? Before this current job, I had worked for a company for 2 years. But unfortunately they have now folded up. Can I include the experience I have from that company and probably attach an LOE? All that I have from them is my appointment letter and the acknowledgment of resignation letter.

2. Which experience will I use to search under the NOC as my job description in both jobs are different. I studied ing in school. I worked as an Officer in my first job but now, I am currently working in a bank as an Operations Officer.

Thank you

Yes, your current job is enough to claim points. You can use either jobs but you'd have to pick the one that best works for you. Pros of new company over old company; You have more work experience in your current job (a bank) and the old company is now defunct. You have options, better to use an employer that is currently in existence than a non-existing one, yes? Can you get reference from your current employer? If yes, oya na.

In case you want to use your old employer, documents such as your appointment letter, acknowledgement of resignation letter, salary deposits/transfers and some other docs I mentioned in my previous post should suffice.

Please post your specific job duties here so we can get the right NOC. Treasury Operations Officer? Customer Operations Officer?

MJ888:
Oh thanks dear for helping. I was worried that the EOR application was couriered and delivered over a week ago but no acknowledgement email from BC that it was received. Also on the EOR form i ed online, i found no space to include my email address for correspondence; maybe they don't need it. Perhaps my remarking may have started.

They don't need it. I wondered about that too and gave them a call. They said they have the details already.

Yes, you can.

Add a LOE to explain the change.

Ativy:
Hi Everyone, please I need clarification on something. If post ITA, I found a NOC that better suits the job I claimed CRS points for, can I use a different NOC in my application even though it is different from what was used in my express entry profile?

Hello house, can one use IELTS academics for express entry. My apologies

@Topsmamen
Bros, thanks for the prompt and detailed response.
I'm working as an Operations officer in the Custody department. Some banks call it Investor Relations department. Help me o.

....and since my current 3 years experience is enough, I'd rather not complicate matters

Eniolakate:


Thanks so much @Topsmamen.
So he still has to transfer the funds to my ? Unfortunately, we are in different countries. I don't know how easy that will be. What if I use my own bank statement as well making 2 statements although I have just a little amount in there? I am just trying to see if we can work around him not having to do a transfer.
Will both bank statements and a LOE suffice?

He does not have to transfer the funds to your he should just do a letter that says the funds in his are for your relocation and that you have access to it....that is what I did in my own situation and there was no issue with it, I got my PPR okay.

Hmm. Seems to be between NOCs 0122, 1114 and 1434 (though the skill level of 1434 is C). Let's wait for others to weigh in.

To get closure, send an email containing your job duties to [email protected] or [email protected]. Ask them to assist you in matching your duties with the appropriate NOC. They won't respond immediately though. You should get a response within 4-7 working days.

hello everyone , I just thought to drop this here to encourage anyone going through the IELTS hurdle.
I wrote the exam for the first time in July 2018,I was really confident about it
,*after all if i had studied french ? Writing and speaking for 4years and even done my dissertation and défense en français what could be so hard about this English exam .. Plus I had written TOEFL before and aced it.. little did I know IELTS was listening to all my mind bragging..

First result LSWR. 9,8,6,7.5 I saw this result at about 12.57am and cried myself to sleep .. I requested for a remark and it was upgraded to 6.5.

I got another opportunity to write in October (because of my work schedule , it is sort of hard to get weekends off). This time I even bought ielts liz videos .. results LSWR .. 8.5,7.5,6.5,7.5

I asked for remark again but it came out negative ..

January I was ready.., this was a new year.. new grace and new everything . I decided to try a new environment . I was fasting for the new year and asking St Joseph to intercede .I decided to try something new MOD. Although the examiners are not as organised as BC i found the environment more suiting because the exam takers were fewer than what you would have in a BC venue. It was a school in lekki and it was such a peaceful environment ... Moreover I had used ielts advantage to prepare and I understood better what was expected of me .. for every essay structure I knew what every sentence should contain, however When i saw my results I was devastated ..

LSWR 8,7.5,7,6.5

I did not give up because I had my eyes on the prize and I knew the next one was definitely the last .. so I wrote again March 2nd ... ladies and gentlemen results are........

LSWR : 9,7,7.5,75

I was elated when I saw this ... my family and close friends called as if l had told them I had gotten the golden mail..

Moral of this is that we should never give up instead research and find it what works for you .. for me I used ieltsonlinetest to practice reading and listening and according to glittering star did not find the real exam so daunting .. i never practiced speaking .. In fact I was expecting less because I almost missed this last speaking (story for another day) then for writing I practiced with the real answer script so during the main exams I could tell when I had reached 150 or 250 without even counting .. Plus i focused on knowing the structures of every way type and reading different sample types .. I could say I wrote just 3 essays while practicing ..

Thank you e fam... I am a silent reader but you guys here are amazing .... May all our heart desires come through .

Thank you!¡!!

[quote author=jmnsimone post=76423114]Same thing happened to me - send them a strongly worded email asking why they're canceling an exam you already paid for. They'll reconfirm your date and k you a receipt. These people are still stuck in the 1980s and almost everything has to be manually confirmed.

I also had a similar issue bro. I have been calling them since last week and they kept promising to work on it. Glory to God this morning,I called them and a lady named Yemi picked the cal. I explained the same story that you shared here to her,then she asked me some questions regarding my registration,my reference number,the date I paid and the name of the owner. She hanged me on for one minute then she came back and told me that she has worked on it,and in about thirty minutes I got my payment confirmation sms. I am due to receive my test venue in less than 24hours. So my advice to you bro is to keep calling them till they work on it for you. Wishing all of us who are writing on the 23 March all the success that we need. We will all come back and testify after God has helped us ace it by his grace(Amen).

Pls guys, while I was filling my WES app form ystday,I saw a place where am to fill my name as it's on my degree certificate, but my name was not spelt correctly(FUNMBILAYO instead of FUNMILAYO) and I was given "TO WHOM" to back it up then, but while filling it, I spelt my actual name. And secondly,my third name is Oluwafunmilayo but on my Neco d initials was written as F. While d initial on my degree certificate was O. I hope dis won't be a problem?

Congratulations Ifeoma!!!, I'm so happy for you and you've been of immense help to me on this thread. I read over 15 pages just because of your PPR story. May God continue to open numerous doors as you move to your new country. Amen!!!
