......

It's a long post alert. Longest post ever written. I just want to use it to encourage someone here.

All praises to God who gives victory. I am forever grateful to God for his unending mercies which I am undeserving of.

My immigration journey: started with Australia immigration October 2016. Did my assessment, wrote PTE and IELTS. Didn't do well in PTE but IELTS I scored LRWS 8.5, 8, 7, 7.5.

I got the invitation to apply in May, did my medicals and submitted in June 2017.

Waited for months and there was no news from them. One day in September during the Big Sallah break, my boss called me to say he got a call from the Australian immigration officials and they were enquiring about my job start dates and duties. He said he was not so sure of the date I started and told them to call him back or do an email.

However, in October 2017, my school finally verified my WES after 2 years... Yes 2 years. I got my Wes report and since I had everything ready, I decided to enter the pool. I entered on a Tuesday with a score of 446, next day was a draw at 441 and I got ITA.

I was confused as to if I should lodge my Canadian visa bearing in mind we had spent about $10,000 for Australia visa charges and assessment ( Primary applicant is 3,800). My friends told me not to bother but I had this nagging feeling to put in for it. My husband was visibly angry, said why will we spend double and asked if I was going to live in 2 countries. Anyway woman bottom power won, we applied for Canada.

December 13, 2017 I recieved a natural justice letter from Australia, it's like Canada's procedural fairness. They said my boss gave them a wrong date of January 2010 as against December 2009(One month difference) and accused me of misrepresentation. They asked me to defend it.

I wasn't scared cos I knew there was no lie in my application. I got all documentation ready. Printed my statement of account from first day I started work till date (about 9years) all showing my monthly salary payment. I got my boss to swear an affidavit stating I started working with him 2009. He also wrote a letter to them stating he made an error.

I attached email correspondence with my boss from first day at work. We communicate office matters via email. I also sent them correspondence I had sent to banks from the office and those correspondence were time stamped by the bank. Videos and pictures of me at work, complimentary cards that showed my work progression. I outdid myself and was so impressed. Responded to their NJL December 26.

January 31st I woke up to an email, our Australia visa application was denied and I was slammed a 3 years ban for misrepresentation!

I wept. I felt pain from my chest. I was devastated. I can't put into words how I felt.

I felt great pain. I was been punished for the truth. I became depressed and angry. I channeled that anger into writing a 7 page letter to them. They responded that they had referred my case to a manager and will get back to me. I am still waiting. I also wrote to the Minister. The truth must prevail.

Remember that Canada application that looked like a waste of money? Yes, that one turned out to be my anti-depressant medication.

My application was referred to LVO. I waited everyday with pain. I struggled, I had mood swings, I had various crying bouts... Oh, to make matters worse, my husband was suddenly without a job... Outcome of the high exchange rate saga that happened.

Let me end it here:

Procedural fairness: Drama. When I saw the title of this, I broke down and wept before opening it. I was like not again. Why me? turned out It was to clarify a custody issue I have.
May 16: responded to the procedural fairness.

May 21, 10am, I was walking on the Street, I got so overwhelmed and emotional, I started pleading with God to have mercy. I kept repeating, father have mercy. Help me. Help us. Show us mercy.

Same May 21 by 12.56pm: PPR.

I saw the PPR letter and was totally confused. I couldn't assimilate what was written. I had to send it to someone to explain if that was really PPR.... LMAO.

When the Lord turned away the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream dreams.

You would think victory is here right? Yeah right!

I waited for my passport and people who submitted with me were getting their passport left and right. People who submitted after me also got their passports.

I was worried and emailed Accra to know if my passport is missing. They responded that my passport was under processing.

June 19, I got an ADR! Mogbe!! ADR after PPR! Hot poo catch me. I Automatically developed running stomach.

The ADR was to submit pcc of spouse in countries he has stayed more than 6 months in and also schedule A.

The irony was that he has only spent 6 months and more in Nigeria and we had submitted the pcc with our application. I contacted a lot of people.

We decided to prepare PCC for Nigeria and UAE which is his current country of residence though he has not stayed 6 months there and had moved after AOR.

The big question now was should I declare the Australia rejection in Schedule A being that it came after AOR. I was scared and worried.

Friends advised I come clean, what's the worst that can happen right? And also knowing that I didn't misrepresent, every detail of my application was the truth. I declared the Australia visa denial.

July 19, Passport came back with our Visa!!!!!!!

Who says God is not good? Who says he doesn't have mercy?

Thank you Jesus!!!!!!

I am overwhelmed!!!!!!


Don't complain about my long post oh. Na excitement. God bless you all and may no one have to go through the torture I went through in the hands of Australia, Amen.

Observation my Lord.An excerpt from this story reads thus:

"...Like some already say, that’s the golden email that signifies you have gotten a request to send your passport for the issuance of a temporary PR visa into Canada."

It's a one-way (entry) visa actually. Temporary PR visa is more like an oxymoron.

agates:
My peeps. It's PPR. Long post comes up shortly let me recover first

Elfmannisback:

Make e b true oh.

Favoured2505:
I think the first link did the trick for me. The very first map that tried describing the where the bank is gave me a good insight on understanding how these westerners gibe directions. Trust me, I am hopeless with giving directions. So what I did was let the tape play the first question, then I will pause it and look at the five pictures to locate the one that best describes the question.
For example: The tape goes:A. "Excuse me, please can you tell me where the bank is?"

Newmum0615:
Seems your PFA did not state on the letter that you are entitled to 25% at 4 months post resignation. Did they? This brings us back to the argument that we had on this thread some time back about not needing to state that clause because as the OP stated, 'we should be able to use the whole funds'.
Strong head something. I remember the somebody well

Get another letter & statement from your PFA sharply and raise a CSE.
