Here is my story so far, decided to make it detailed in case there is a thing or two someone else may benefit from.

DECISION TO TRAVEL: In the words of Jill Scott, "Do not stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare'.
I started the pursuit of escape velocity in 2014, looked at Aussie Study visa, tried Aussie PR, and even applied for a Canadian TRV, the refusal would later sentence me to purgatory [LVO]

IELTS: first wrote Academic for Canada study visa in 2014, GT for Aussie PR in 2016, GT for Canada PR in 2017.
ECA: Oct 11 2017
ITA: Oct 18 2017 (cutoff:438, my CRS:441)
AOR: Nov 23 2017
MEP: Dec 7 2017
NA2: Dec 11 2017
Received GCMS: Jan 29 2018
File Transferred to LVO: Jan 10 2018
IP2: Feb 27 2018 (Mass IP2 crew)
ADR (Employment & POF): April 11 2018
Submitted ADR: April 19 2018
Received GCMS: April 23 2018
Received GCMS: June 22 2018. from this I noticed CIO Recommended Interview! contacted DJM and i was replied with "...there maybe need to interview you."
GU: July 11 2018.. with this I inferred there has been a new activity on my file, I mailed an MP pleading he gets in touch with IRCC and lets me in on the update. Replied


with this I heaved a sigh of relief.

ADR(Eye & Height and Passport Travel Doc):

Received GCMS: July 26 2018 ... Actually the MP's mail had more recent info than the gcms, I noticed LVO reviewed my ADR after CIO recommended Interview, was convinced andd passed my eligibility. Another thing I learnt from this my 4th GCMS was the fact that there is a 3week lag in gcms delivery. I reviewed all 4 GCMS I had received so far, and the activities that meaning it only shows you the info contained in your file as at when you applied for your GCMS not when it was sent to you.

Same day, few hours later...ADR(Passport Travel Doc) & PPR (I think they came together)

Submitted Passport: July 27 2018
Application Approved: August 8 2018
PUM: August 13 2018
VOH: August 14 2018

Landed: Yesterday (13 October 2018)

what is interesting is how we start this journey with eyes on only one thing, PR! little is said of the great bonus it brings, and it isn't the utopia of life in Canada, rather it is the many beautiful souls it has brought into my life; people I have come to know in this pursuit. I am eternally grateful to Bimpsy99, sweetri, feygbe, nekdre, kayla10, 40manlappy, ugoiyke, kontagious, newmum0615, glitteringstar, inshort everyone here. It hasn't been a smooth journey, I certainly wouldn't have been able to see this arduous task through without you guys, the checkups, the counsel and the support. I am thankful for the uncertainties that made this worth celebrating.

Congrats bro

please oh, Someone please advise me what to do.

I really want to be in the pool by next draw because with my 444 i'm very nervous the Cut of will soon go out of my reach. My Only problem is the soft copy of my ECA had been mailed to me since Sept 10th and uptil now I haven't received it. ( PEBC does not upload ECA RESULT online you have to wait for the soft copy to get to you.) Can I use my PEBC ID no for the ECA report no and quote September 10th as the date?

Please anyone that has experienced something like this should help me out.

Why don't you pay for another copy and have it sent via fedex or any of this courier coys to any of your friend in canada

LONG POST ALERT.
Congratulations . Preparing for IELTS I pray I pass this first time. I tap into ur testimony
I promised to get back wt my story and here I am.
My Canada journey started August, 2016.
I used WES for my ECA and it was smooth.

IELTS JOURNEY:
I sat for IELTS 5 times as below
1st attempt BC, 04/03/2017: L7.5 R6.5 W7.0 S7.5
2nd attempt BC, 08/04/2017: L7.5 R7.5 W6.5 S7.0
3rd attempt BC, 11/11/2017: L7.5 R9.0 W7.5 S6.5
4th attempt MOD, 03/03/2018: L8.5 R9.0 W6.5 S7.0
5th attempt MOD, 12/05/2018: L8.5 R8.5 W7.0 S7.5

I tackled the first one with maximum confidence but I lost the confidence after the 2nd attempt couldn’t yield 8777. At that point, I ran to nairaland to seek for assistance. After BC spoilt my result the 3rd time (Speaking =6.5), I resorted to MOD. I tried my best the 4th time which yielded almost a useful result except for writing. I paid 46k + for remark but it came back same way. Unfortunately, I hardly had time to prepare for more than 3 weeks cos of the natural of my work. At this point I was already getting discouraged and asking if I’m destined for Canada or not.
I wrote the almighty and popular 12/05/2018 MOD IELTS exam which wasn’t well organized. After all the efforts, I lost courage and at that point I felt I should look for a lady that needs a guy so that we could … so I got a lady’s nos after d exam. When d result came out, I cried cos it was the truly the worst of all I wrote but God turned it to be the most useful of all. At that point I knew God is involved.

POF
With the help of God, I worked on this smartly, and I made sure no fund more than 250k was deposited into that account (at once), in d last one year. Thus, I wrote no LOE, Gift deed… and I wasn’t questioned. I submitted Acct Statement, general reference letter from the Bank and also the Bank reference in CIC format.

MEDICALS
I used IOM at Ikeja and it went well.

ITA TO PPR
My M.Sc Certificate wasn’t ready cos Unilag kept shifting the Convocation ceremony. Though I had used Attestation for WES evaluation, I needed the Certificate after ITA. As they always say, delay is not denial. As at the time IELTS was delaying me, Unilag refused to do Convocation and the same month Unilag had the Convocation ceremony (I guess), the same month I passed IELTS. After then, everything happened so fast. Little bit of delay gathering my documents, but God surprised me.

I got the Biometrics letter on the 12/09/2018 and I captured it on Monday, 17/09/2018. My people, I sent a mail to my agent on 20/09/2018 to update me on the Biometrics, and what I got was d PPR letter. The letter was actually dated 19/09/2018, meaning I actually got PPR after 2 days.

My people it could only have been God at work. Many other challenges, many aspects I won’t be able to touch. Pls do not be discouraged. Cast all your cares upon God. I fasted and prayed and God delivered me. I trust God for u also. I lost days and months through IELTS but God made the last part a testimony.

For those preparing for IELTS; Study, study and study hard. There are many materials available on this platform. Youtube is also there for you. I will also suggest u use ieltsliz.com. Wonderful website.

Though I used agent, I had been on this thrend from Part 1 till now, quietly reading everything possible. I learnt a lot from here and wondereful people are here to help.

I thank you all for your love and support. We will all triumph.

TIMELINE:
IELTS = 12/05/2018
ITA = 13/06/2018
AOR = 11/08/2018
MEP = 12/09/2018
Biometrics Captured= 17/09/2018
PPR letter = 19/09/2018


You’ve done so much for me, I cannot tell it all… Narekele mo…
What shall I render to Jehova, for He has done so very much for me


I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST OF GOD. THANK YOU

Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by alwayspositive8: 6:11pm On Oct 14, 2018
Thanks for this.

First attempt:LRWS- 7.5,8.5,6.5,7.0. BC 18/8
Second attempt : LRWS - 8.0,6.5,7.0,5.5. MOD 29/9

What actually amazed me was that my strength has always been reading I felt I did very well even to level that am currently thinking of a remark cos I kept wondering how I could I miss close to like 14 questions in that test to warrant a 6.5 in reading but when I read that getting an improvement in reading is difficult I just weak.

And for that speaking,am also having issues being that I did so well in fact i probably did better in the second attempt than in my first attempt when I got a 7.0 ...imagine 5.5 telling me am an average user of English.

Though still thinking of paying the 46k for EOR for both reading and speaking(which I doubting whether is a good option considering the cost)

Since I got that result am just in a dilemma of what next to do cos this last result really damned my confidence.

I just weak. even if am to write again should I just go back to BC or stick with MOD cos the score I had in speaking for MOD has started making me to have some negative feelings about them.


youngRx:
Really I'm quite surprised that some people are even considering "giving up" after a failed IELTS attempt. give up and do what exactly??
when will y'all understand that in this journey "giving up" is NOT an option...you CAN'T give up.

if you failed an attempt, register for the next!
if you don't have the money yet, save up!
if you're scared of rewriting, chill, give yourself more time to practice and go write it!
but whatever you do, you just CANNOT give up!

For to "give up" is to die, and we aint dying.
Nah!...not today.
we goan live a long fulfilled life IN CANADA!

We live to fight another day guys....keep hope alive.

I need people's experiences on remark on IELTS. Does a remark usually guarantee a higher score or band.
LRWS: 7.5, 8.5, 6.0, 8.0

I need my writing to be remarked, I feel that I ought to have a higher score.

Opinions on remark is appreciated.

I perfectly understand how you must be feeling. I also just got my result LRWS - 8.0,6.5,7.0,8.0 (1st attempt)(BC)
Reading was the easiest in my opinion and I was so sure I would get atleast an 8.0. I am planning on going to their office tomorrow to ask for a remark but that 10 weeks waiting time scares me.

You can request for a remark of the writing but you would still need to retake the test in order to max out on your listening. Remark for listening hardly changes.

vcole:
@missKeri and anyone else who may need clarity on graduation date and date qualified to work in your profession....your academic studies end date is the date you officially complete your studies. It usually coincides with the date your final results were issued or for most Nigerian schools, the date senate approved your results. Your graduation date is usually the date written on your degree or certificate. Graduation date often comes after your academic studies end date because different schools have different graduation periods. So, if you completed studies say on April 30th, 2017 and your degree was awarded April 30th, 2018, the date you first became qualified to work in your profession is April 30th, 2017.
Thanks for shedding more light on this.

You’re welcome.. however, to the best of my knowledge the repeat CXR is standard; 3 months after the initial X-ray to make sure there are no changes. So make sure to double check with your panel physician about that.
the PP stated it clearly that it was only the test that was required, no xray. He also said the x ray is not mandatory that is a question of 'may'. I sent u a pm. Thanks
