Rambler and Virka -- so sorry. when im answering to my fellow filipino i get confused.. i thought im in the filipino thread, my apology
anyway, I applied in Nova scotia because there, my ielts is valid for 2 yrs from date of the examination... plus it's cheaper thank most states
khai -- no. haha sorry if I get you confused. I applied for saskatchewan last nov 2009 but they are so slow now.. i still dont have eligibility so ive decided to apply in another province. I originally planned on applying in BC, i am like 70-80% sure... but after research, i chose to register in Nova scotia. These are my reasons:
1. In nova scotia, my ielts is still valid (it will expire on Juy 2011), whereas in BC, i will have to take my ielts again because they only honor ielts result of not more than 1 yr..
2. Assessment fee in Nova scotia is cheaper than in BC (I didn't really want to spend a lot because either way, i am registering for the same position)
3. lesser chance of taking SEC or bridging program
4. I can send my IELTs result by giving my candidate #, no need to forward/send another original copy of my results..
5. only my employer for the last 6 months will be asked to fill-up the employer form, in BC, you have to send it to all of ur previous employers (hthat's what i understood)
