Less than 1k condom for make you avoid all the name callings.. Sorry bro. Please don't forget to take care of yourself also.

Abercrome:
Then go start a religion thread. This is just as obnoxious as those who preach in buses and it’s ironic that you don’t see that. You’re speaking to full grown adults here and imposing your “superior” view on them. Let’s keep sensitive topics such as religion, tribe or politics off this thread. This is a safe space for people to share their immigration stories or successes and let them thank God or whoever else they feel contributed while sharing it. Let’s stay on course please.

EsoEso:
Both of you are only shaking your heads over your myopic and bigotic ignorance.

Batam:
You are so naughty and uncultured
It shows your parents are good for nothing because they neglected their duty in giving you proper upbringing and that is why you are suffering.

Wetin man no go see for the hand of these baby factory products

Batam:
Do you have an evidence or you were told he did so

Old age is turn by turn
The first commandment with promise is honour your father and your mother so that your days may be long.
Mind you, it's not only your parents alone but other parents, your boss, religious leaders, celebrities who are making positive impact in the society and so on

dkenny4lyf:
Ok....

Keep enjoying

CosmicGoat:
And what financial crime did I commit sir?

Batam:
I pity you guys for using old age to mock. Keeping cursing yourself in the name of politics.
Obi that you are supporting is growing too

Let me borrow you a sense. if you want to criticize, do it constructively like one guy on the forum Anonimi, stop mocking Tinubu or any old person by their age.
Life is turn by turn

CosmicGoat:
I don't understand please

God1000:
This is foolishness, Abacha was very stupid and wicked

EsoEso:
Oga/madam you are not the first person to have traveld or living in Canada or any western world. The topic of religion, culture etc has been a subjective matter even before you were concieved or born. Everybody all over the world, thinks differently and have diverse beliefs.
Don't force your beliefs or reasoning on others, stick to your belief or reasoning that works for you and let others be. It is gross insensitivity on your part to be telling down on someone else's belief or religion. While some believe in numbers, rivers, skies, rocks, fire, supernatural God, air, luck etc, does not invalidate others beliefs.
Please practice your thoughts and let others exercise their thoughts if it's working for them.
Be very careful on how you interfer in people's religion or belief because if you were to be some of us living in the core middle east here, and you make such blatant remarks, God help you... Just a word of advise.

Abercrome:
I don’t think it’s very nice to derail the guy’s good news into this banter. Religion is a sensitive matter and you should respect and leave people to their practices even when you don’t agree with it. If you’re going to make this about readiness for Canada, it’s discriminatory even there to ‘ridicule’ someone’s religious practices. Two people can be right at the same time. It was a favourable exception but are exceptions totally coincidental? Science hasn’t answered that so it’s okay for him to believe that it wasn’t coincidental but rather a favour from God. We can all respect one another’s beliefs.

Creativebelle:
You are just angry for nothing tbh..freedom of speech,religion etc no dey again?..if people want to attribute it to God,let them be! If you want to attribute it to your own human spirit,so be it! If na stone, plant,trees etc anybody wan thank..let them feel free! If anyones wants to even thank BUBU,they should!
I don't see why anyones way of life will bother you and others this much..its not that deep jare..
Una just like to argue..

Blessedmercy8:
It's high time men start started taking skincare routine seriously. I mean... See the aging difference between the man and his wife. This man aged really quickly and I don't want to believe the age gap between them is that much.
A simple skincare regimen would have prevented this.

Any woman would quickly loose interest in her man if he's looking old like her dad. I want to believe his looks is one of the CAUSES of her divorcing him but she won't say it.

This might sound dumb but only to the dumb ones who will quote me to say trash.

Fearyourcreator:
Why do you wish Nigeria war and burns...

Tunjibalogun:
I mean families are being separated daily due to economic migration from Nigeria to overseas because the country isn't working.

They're many lonely wives separated from their husbands who work abroad

Brothers are separated from their brothers and sisters because they've gone to seek for greener pastures

Some parents haven't seen their children for years because they've gone for greener pastures


You don't see Americans, British or Dutch people separating from their families just to work in Africa.


Why is everything the opposite for Africans.

Funny a thing the black Africans count it as an achievement to migrate to a white man's country and abandoning his own root to rot away.

Was the black man created on a sunny day?

Help me solve this puzzle

Zeewirld:
..While trying to sound Woke...you ended up typing rubbish....You claimed that something is EXCEPTION and yet it is not God! Haba now.....The truth is everybody's path is different and God has paved his/her with success and speed....So if you can't rejoice with the person...Won't be better you get yourself engaged productively?

ednut1:
with or without God we are all going to same mortuary one day. Those in the mortuary served God too. One day we will all join them. Una eye go clear when you reach Canada sha. The way we practice religion in Nigeria ehn even those that brought it to us would be ashamed.

Bibitayo2:
Thank you. Will I buy the dollars at the official or black market rate?

Sorry for my questions. I am just uninformed about this.

Spirit04:
proscribe them

Stanleyq:
Can with God

gift2xl:
Talk straight and say this is whom God has chosen.

adinnu4:
Without God, you are nothing. Go to the mortuary, you will see things for yourself.

CountVersailles:
Let's get something straight. It's not any God's grace. You were an exception, which is okay. There are many more people possibly in other countries who were also exceptions like this. It's a good thing, an excellent thing, but don't let it get into your head. It's not any God's grace where you were specifically targeted. Those who are in for longer are just like you and it doesn't make them any worse off or any lacking of God's grace.

cutebear:
It's not a waste for me o! I've always desired to have a master's degree in my field. I originally planned on doing it in Canada but IRCC decided to waste our time. BTW....Masters in Canada is 2 years while in the UK, it's 1 year. So, as my PR is coming out, I'll be graduating with my masters and going straight into the Canadian workforce instead of doing 2 years of MSc or doing part-time school while I'm working.

Hallelujah! It's RFV...

Not too long but a roller coaster daunting but eventful journey.

My siblings in Canada have been on my case to relocate but for some weird reasons I rather prefer to just do visit and come back. Until I got married and my wife became so scared of naija wahala. Easily my people were able to make her start the process.

She applied in mid month of Dec 2020, for our ECA and used etx for transcript, we both have masters from UNN but surprisingly, her WES was completed in first week of Jan 2021 while mine was eventually completed in June 2021. That delay got me involved because of transcript issues and that's how my interest started, coupled with the lack of foreseeable end to insecurity and above all the kids future.

My wife's first and only IELTS result came ending of June, 2021 with just an average score of 7 (I didn't write IELTS). This was enough to enter the pool. We both have more than a decade work experience from a single organization.

As at when we joined pool our CRS was a paltry 347! Before we got nomination it dipped to 327 due to birthdays, lol. So cos of the low score we dont visit the EE portal, we were focused on getting PNP.

So just as the EE profile was created, an EOI was submitted for SINP and within few days we got an ITA. At this point, I now put on my researching cap and carried Canada immigration matter as case study especially SINP.

I realised since we didn't have POF ready and SINP has a rigid 3months old POF rule, we had to painfully ignore the ITA and went all out to gather fund. When it expired we were now set and ready to receive another ITA. Unfortunately, the rules have changed! SINP draws paused and eventually health professionals need to get job offer to be considered!

In between this period of dilemma, we took a stroll into the EE profile and found notification of interest (NOI) sitting pretty but now old in the account!

AINP sent us NOI end of September, 2021 but we didn't get to see it until mid November! It was a rush of emotions. We noticed that, we didn't accept to click getting mail option. So we couldn't get mail from EE portal and since we weren't expecting any miracle we just abandoned the account.

AINP usually gives 2weeks for applicants to accept their NOI else it goes invalid. Well, we sent an acceptance using the link provided and also followed it up with a letter of clemency, stating why we missed it.

Fortunately, after 48hours, we got a response that we can continue with the same application under same stream. That was the first miracle for me in this process.

Unfortunately, cos of the experience we have had with SINP as regards health professionals and Canadian licensing. We opted to fill in another NOC that does not require license during the submission of application. This was even recommended by the licensing authority of my wife profession in Canada, cos licensing can take some time and makes immigration process long.

So after we submitted AINP application in Jan 2022, by march most of the applicants we submitted same month have been nominated but ours was not touched. We knew that our delay was cos we did not apply with the NOC upon which we got NOI. We didn't know what to do. We were scared to make any move to avoid disqualification.

On a fateful night, kidnappers came and made attempt close to our home, the gunshots were terrible! It was in a prone position, lights off, shivering, that I drafted a letter of change of NOC for my wife to send to AINP. We gave them reasons why we had to deviate from the original NOC based on the recommendation of a regulatory body over there. We showed all evidence, dropped links to the website quoted and prayed. This was around April 10, 2022.

About 2weeks after, my wife was called by AINP, for some fact check. The agent is a Nigerian so the talk flowed well. He asked for her NOC, and she told him the initial NOC filled and that she sent a mail for change to the main NOC. The officer said,he's calling cos of the mail (our second miracle) and fortunately for us, the reference letter submitted was in favour of the new NOC as well.

Nomination came the following day as my birthday gift, after we sent the payslips he asked immediately.

Unfortunately, EE draw happened that same day before we could link the nomination to EE. So early may ITA arrived and we submitted application using same documents used for AINP. Our reference letter was about 6months old, spouse foreign work experience was clicked but since I had collected my reference when we applied for my wife's, so I just uploaded it as asked. Thank God mine wasn't assessed cos the job duties no too rhyme at all with my chosen NOC. We didn't see IRCC guideline when we were making request for reference letter. We only wrote it as our usual routine came to mind.

My wife's reference letter was better off but can be better. Remember we wrote her letter to have semblance with that initial NOC we filled during AINP?

It was when we got nomination that I joined this group. I had a lot of struggle within me to change the reference letter but cos of the tussle involved in getting it from work. We just decided to use it because we didn't want to delay any further. I was not comfortable with some entries too on our marriage certificate.

Anyways, I remember in one of my queries when the amiable @Graciouswords advised that I should look for WhatsApp group of my AOR and join to know when eligibility is passed for people around me. That advice was the bombard. Those WhatsApp groups are real tension relievers.

My journey from AOR to RFV is about 86days

AOR May 29
MED Aug 19
BIL Completed Aug 22
RFV Aug 23

If this is not God's grace I wonder what is?

Thanks You Jesus!!!

PS:
Pls to submit passport in Nigeria to VFS where biometrics was done, do one need to go online to do anything? Are we making any transmission payment for dependents who didn't capture for biometrics? The recent announcement that one can walk in to submit passport physically in Nigeria, does it mean that passport are now being stamped in Naija also? Is someone residing in naija but outside Lag and Abj supposed to just courier passport 2way to Abuja/Lagos and that's all, even with below 14years old dependents? Pls what's the process?

I wish everyone still waiting for the golden mail Godspeed and favour.

ednut1:
Canada was on pause for a while, Nigeria was becoming hell by the day. What should they have done Wait and do nothing Scores have now gone up too. If IRCC wasnt that incompetent they would have come to Canada on student visa. But they are rejecting 80% of Nigerians who try student visa. People just want to japa o. No blame them

SAMTOBIJU:
Why run to the road na? For what na? Thorough investigation still need to be done

SAMTOBIJU:
Suicide by road side...that looks fishy o
