This is my long overdue landing gist, landed on the 28th of December and typed it some days after. Several things have happened since then but still, here goes...
Landing gist
The weeks before leaving Nigeria was very hectic cos we had to move out of our house in Abuja to stay at my dad's. We arrived Lagos on the 15th so we can spend xmas with families on both sides and finalise our shopping and packing, so I had to rush everything cos we were going to my parents house in mowe on the 22nd and stay there till xmas. The day after we landed in Lagos my daughter became ill, high fever and purging, she got better after some days only for it to start again the day we got to my parents house. Tried everything and she wasn't getting better and the stress of caring for her and packing for our trip got to me as well, I had a terrible cough that ended with me losing my voice on xmas day. My daughter started getting better on xmas and that was timely cos our flight was on the 27th.
Days before our departure I noticed that one of our boxes weighed 28kg even though it was mostly empty, so I weighed the box on it's own and it was 6kg, I was upset cos this was a day before departure so I decided to use a GMG instead, since it was mostly hair extensions and foodstuff that was in the box. D-day arrived and it was time to leave the house that was when village people struck as we were loading our bags, the GMG started tearing, we decided to manage it since we planned to wrap all our bags. We got to the airport around 10:45 and as we were entering the departure hall, our GMG fell apart!!! Everything in it spilled, my husband had to rush ti go get a new one while everything was on the floor, he got one for 2k and it wasn't even as big as the torn one but we were desperate. We had to repack, after we were done was when the agric guys came, I didnt part with dime. Our bags were weighed and 2 of our 6 bags weighed 30 and 26 but they didnt disturb or ask for anything, my husband was in a very generous mood because he kept dashing all the customs people money and it was paining me. Our flight left some minutes earlier than scheduled and landed early, intact the entire trip was uneventful and fast we landed in Toronto 30mins before our scheduled arrival. My daughter slept through most of the journey, customs and everything was smooth but we were unable to do our SIN because we landed 7am on a Saturday. As we landed in Toronto, our host (my husbands friend) called and told us his wife had gone into labour, we started panicking because we had no idea how it would affect our accommodation with them but everything was resolved as she had the baby not long after we landed in Calgary. We've found an apartment, going to sign the lease today as well as open our bank accounts, get our SIN and sim/ health cards. We are excited to be here and can't wait to discover all that Canada/Calgary has to offer.
We moved into our place at auburn bay on the 1st of January, we bought a car already got a good deal on kijiji. This was very important because the cold these past few weeks has been terrible and walking especially for my little girl has been painful. We've started applying for jobs as well as looking at our options for going back to school. We're ready to take on anything Canada throws at us.

Very Interesting Story. Wish you best of Luck in all. We stay at SETON, opposite Auburn bay. It is good to know Nigerians are close by.

We recently got PPR yesterday and I felt I should write out our journey. This might inspire someone.

The journey started as far back July 2015. I did my wes then and it came out early September then I got a fantastic job offer with a lovely pay and decided to chill. Fast forward 2017 Jan, my younger brother got ITA, I guessed that's what we needed for a wake-up call. Then we started again.

We registered for IELTS that May 2017 and the result was 
Mine L7.5 R7 W6.5 S7.5
Wifey L7 R 6.0 W7.5 S8

Then we started IELTS journey 
2nd attempt 
Mine L7.5 R6.5 W6.5 S7.5
Wifey 7.5 R 6.5 W7.5 S8

At this point we realize that wifey should be the principal applicant, she is younger and has Masters. So we tried IELTS again for her(God bless her)

3rd attempt 
Wifey L8 R 6.5 W7.5 S7.5
4th attempt L7.5 R8 W7.5 S7
Wifey L8 R6.5 W7 S8

Can't remember the scores for other attempts. But April 21, 2018, a year after we had started the journey, she had her 9th attempt and she came out with [b]L8 R8 W7 S8 [/b]and that was the turning point. We immediately entered the pool and had a score of 452 then two days later was her birthday and we dropped to 447, well we prayed for a good ITA score and God answered. ITA for that week was 442. And the rest was story. Here is the timeline after AOR

AOR May 7
MP/ Ip1 May 16
Ip2 July 14
PPR July 18

No ADR at all.
Everything just went smooth. I hope this will inspire a friend here. Stay blessed.
