Talk straight and say this is whom God has chosen.

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.

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

Please, guys, I'll be going to the UK for my masters in September. I'm also in the EE pool with a score of 506. I'm confident I'll get ITA soon, seeing that the last draw was 525, and I'm not far behind. I'm wondering whether I should do my medicals here in Nigeria before going to the UK because over there, the medicals cost about £350 / ₦280k, while in Nigeria, it will cost me about ₦50k. What are your thoughts?

For those who were not born or matured enough during the time Asiwaju was the governor of Lagos State, or for who did not experience how Lagos was before. I see a lot of people now, some young people who cannot enjoy night life in their states, who cannot enjoy good road in their states, they run to Lagos. They go to the club in the night without hindrance and they are abusing Tinubu from the club in that night life.

“It is an irony because you are in a state where you are living in peace.
You are abusing someone who is the father and architect of modern Lagos.
I’m sure you know how Lagos was with insecurity in the late 1990s, you know the problem at that time in Lagos.
At a time robbery in Lagos was a common thing as well as chaotic traffic in Lagos.

Buckeyemedia1:
Are you blaming the Federal Government for that or you people in society?

nazicartel:
Major na Major. Untill the security situation of the country is taken care of. Nothing will change. The last time they attacked a police commissioner and his orderly was killed and nothing was done. Untill we start prosecuting all these people. Nothing will happen. Anybody that's involved in kidnapping, Terrorism, armed robbery should be sentenced and killed

Staphylococcus:
His Excellence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will champion course for peace to return.

Nigeria is more complex than his name,make he keep his advice.

look. My dear, many people o. Immigration post brexit is bloody. You would be seeing kids driving good cars, living plush while you slave away. When I go to festivals or events with my kids you won't even see one single black. They are busy in factories and care homes while the white man is enjoying and knacking free kpekus
