IELTS (PA) 1st attempt [2nd Feb, 2019]: LRWS = 7.5,8.5,7,8 (after this, Wifee refused to write IELTS again... It took months of begging to convince her to write again, so I chose to pay for 2 tests back to back so she would not be under too much pressure)

3rd attempt [1st August 2019] IDP: 8,9,7,7.5 (Never bothered to collect the TRF)

ITA:
Created our profile on the 11th of August immediately I picked up my wife’s IELTS Test Report Form. We got ITA the following day (12th August 2019)

MEDICALS: Was a seamless process at Qlife family clinic, Lagos on 3rd September, 2019.
I was initially quite worried because my son had a birth injury (Erb’s palsy) which makes him have some difficulty raising his left arm high above his head (he is otherwise a healthy and active boy) and I wasn’t sure of the grounds for medical inadmissibility.
I asked several questions back then on this forum, and @Topsmamen and @Ladymarshall were very helpful to us.
The Panel Physician assured us that we were fine, and then I could relax a bit.

PCC: Inspector Moshood sorted out our PCCs at 3.5k each on 2nd September 2019 (I got his contacts from this thread).

ECA:
I started out the process as the PA so I had gotten my ECA report from MCC since August 2018.
I, however, was too busy at work to give IELTS preparation any time. After the drop in ITA score to 438 in January 2019, I was gingered and immediately registered for IELTS.
After realizing that we had no hope with a CRS score of 444 we had to change strategy – Wifee had to be the PA (age advantage).
I evaluated my wife’s credentials with WES (Canadian Equivalence = Master’s degree). Slight delays from University of Port Harcourt’s end, but thank God it all ended in praise. The report was obtained on January 14th, 2019.

POF:
100% Gift Deed from my dad (PA’s father In-Law). Gift deed was notarized.
I also transferred 1.5m to wifee's account to buffer just in case of currency fluctuations.
We purchased treasury bills with the gifted sum, and left the 1.5million in her account.
We submitted: Treasury Bills certificate, My wife's 6months Bank account statement, Letter of reference from Bank (very generic letter from Access Bank with only the date the account was opened and that the customer is recommended for business relationship), a letter of non-indebtedness, notarized gift deed, transfer receipts from my dad’s account, my bank statement showing the transfers to my wife’s account, a letter of support from me stating I transferred funds to my wife’s account, and an image of OANDA converter exchange rate on the date of submission. I even went overboard to add my dad’s international passport and pictures of my parents with us on our wedding day (so no VO will say they aren’t sure of something – maybe this was too much sha).

REFERENCE LETTERS:
We claimed work experience from 2 different schools my wife worked for.
My wife worked for 2 years in the first school. She then took out time to go for her Master's degree full time).
Thereafter, she worked for 9 months in a second school, after which she resigned to go work as a customer care agent for over 9 months. Little did we know this would not count as it was under NOC C. When we realized (by further research) in May 2019, she immediately resigned and went back to the second school to continue teaching. As God will have it, when she was finally ready to write IELTS again in July 2019, she had gotten the extra 3months of work experience so we could claim 3years.
So, we added 2years (School 1) + 9months (School 2 – April to January 2018) + 4months (School 2 – May to Sept 2019).
N/B: The current principal in her PPA refused to give us a reference letter for her NYSC period. He said he could not find any records in the school of happenings before 2016 when he became principal, so he could not issue any letter. Thank God for making a way for us without needing that.
My wife was paid in cash in school 1, so we submitted a salary certificate in addition to the reference letter which stated mode of payment, employment letter, and resignation letter.
For her first period in school 2 she was paid via cash cheques. We submitted the reference letter which stated mode of payment, payslips, employment letter, resignation letter, and the schools 2018 brochure showing her pictures.
For her second period in school 2, she was paid via her bank, so we submitted the reference letter, payslips, re-instatement letter and bank account statement showing salary deposits.

VISA REFUSALS: I declared my previous US and UK visa refusals, and attached the refusal letters. I did NOT fill a schedule A form and was never asked for one.

LOEs: There was an age discrepancy on our marriage certificate, for which we did an "affidavit for correction of age" and also explained in an LOE.
We also had LOEs for proof of funds and visa refusals.

PASSPORT: Scanned only stamped pages or pages containing visas (NOT ALL PAGES). I included my old passport also.

THE WAIT:
Honestly, I was already mentally preparing to start waiting. Our TBills are to be due in January and was planning to send an updated POF then.
We do not know our Visa office and did not raise any CSE.
Had no ADR.
I joined an Indian and a Nigerian whatsapp group, but realized that I wasn’t ready for the tension generated by people second guessing their applications, hence I left all whatsapp groups and made this thread may daily stopover for encouragement – looking out for PPR stories.

PPR:
I watched Daddy GO almost every night of the RCCG Congress 2019, and when he said on day 6 that we should ask God for something big, getting our PPR in January was one of the things I asked for.
I even googled a sample picture of a PR visa, printed it out in colour, wrote my name on it with the issue date as January 2020 and put it on my bedroom wall (vision board). This was on Sunday the 15th of December (after the night session of Day 6 on the 14th of December).
Lo and behold, my wife shouted this evening, screaming that I should come downstairs with my laptop. I was initially wondering why, as she knew I was working on a project using my laptop. The first thought on my mind was that the golden mail had landed, but it was too good to be true so I pushed the thought aside and ran downstairs to go see to my damsel in distress…
The look on her face and her radiant smile said all I needed to know, and we started screaming…
The golden mail in her mailbox was dated 16th December 2019 even though she noticed it just this evening.
Our kids kept on asking us, “Daddy what is wrong?” Mummy, what is the problem?”
All we could say was: “There is no problem my love. With time you will know okay.”
Glad they are very understanding.

Thank God it has ended in praise for us.
It is still so unreal to me, but I will be ungrateful if I do not testify to God’s goodness unto us. I was expecting this in March when our 6months would have expired, not knowing my prayer of faith will be answered so speedily. Processing time of just over 3months. It can only be God! I pray this encourages someone also praying for the same.

Now I can focus and prepare for my final exams to become a Consultant Surgeon in a few months’ time (my back up plan if I ever have to return to Naija).



Hoping to travel in June 2020 God willing.

Many thanks to @Topsmamen, @Ladymarshall, @Cutieplum, @Adunnee, @ifeoma77, @Joo2018, @Intellectualmum, @Rebe, @shege45 for their selfless help through this process. May God richly bless you all!

Sorry for any typos. I was just in a hurry to share my joy.

Congratulations . I tap 4rm your faith. I willjoin those who will give positive testimony about pr here ijn.

It’s a rather long one, I have been at it for a while!!!

PPR: December 17 2019 (Dated December 16 2019)[/b]

I started writing this story today the 29th March 2019, because I am really hopeful for PPR this March (lmao, I obviously did not know what is going on)
Anyway Alhamdulillah, it is finally here; I heard about express entry in 2017, from my friend who has been a Canada PR for over 3 years now.
IELTS: I immediately registered for IELTS, I did not even bother to find out about the minimum score and the importance of scoring 8777. I just dived headlong into it because I had done academic IELTS before and I was feeling quite confident. Alhamdulillah, it went well, I scored 8.5,8.5,7,7.5 (LRWS) in my only attempt. This was in April 2017.

ECA; As a pharmacist, I went for PEBC and I decided to attempt the first exam since I was sure I was moving soon (dreamer right?). Anyway, it took about 4 months in total, including the time it took to get the documents. I passed the first exam by the way.

ITA: I dived into the pool with a score of 431, feeling confident considering there was 413 draw ( I think) around that time. I got Ontario nomination, I let it expire because I was confident of ITA soon. ITA refused to come o. I waited and waited. Infact, the first draw after I entered the pool was 433. It seemed what went up was never coming down.

Hubby’s ECA/IELTS: March came I lost 5 points (birthday). I was now below 430, meanwhile, draw did not go below 440. I called my husband I said ‘oga come and go and do IELTS’, he agreed. Then he was with me in the UK but he was to write in Nigeria. My husband publishes/writes for a living so he was so sure that ahn ahn is it not English, don’t disturb me jare. Omo only writing and speaking were good, let's just say his IELTS score did not help us as much as I expected. We were now at 438, and un-accompanying we were at 459, but I did not want him to have to wait so long to see us.
Anyway, we decided to evaluate his PhD which took a further 3-4 months to come through, we were now finally at 448. I was confident of the next draw, next draw came, the score was 449. I said ah, na wa for this ITA o. At this point what was left was for me to rewrite IELTS and attempt to score higher. That was not necessary because the November 28th draw finally brought ITA our way.

POST ITA: we had scheduled medicals for London because I was so sure of the previous draw. When I did not get ITA, I canceled the appointment and just waited. By then my hubby was back in Nigeria again so he had to do his medicals in Nigeria. Anyway, the documentation took a while but I finally submitted on the 26th of January 2019.

POST AOR: This was the most frustrating part of the journey. The endless wait. I saw PPR stories of people that did not even have ITA by the time I was submitting. I prayed hard in Ramadan, I fasted but PPR did not come. I dreamt about it but it still did not come. I then dreamt once more that God was keeping me from something but that I would eventually get my wish and be happy. I held on to this. There is a verse of the Quran; that says ‘and Allah will give you and you will be glad’. This consoled. I was frustrated but I held on. I found out in July that my application was undergoing additional verifications.

The MPS: I wrote Ralph; eligibility not started. I wrote Erin; eligibility not started. Then a sister told me to reply Erin and make a passionate appeal. Then he found out that there was an area that required review (which we did not see in the GCMS notes). I quickly acted on this and got remedical request on the 1st of October.

Ghost update: I got a ghost update the day after sending the documents to explain the area requiring review. Only to see remedicals when I still had over 2 months to medical expiry. I jumped into action again. I emailed CPC Ottawa, I raised CSE. I called to book an appointment and was told I was too early for a remedical that I should tell CIC. I merged all my family medical information sheets together and sent via CSE. I told them to only give me 3 weeks to land in Canada, just don’t ask for a remedical, I also sent this to my guardian angel Erin. He replied and said request forwarded ( I smiled).
On the 15th I was eventually able to do my medicals again. I accepted my fate. In the evening of the 15th, I checked my application and saw another ghost update. I was beginning to wonder what it meant. Has ircc accepted my plea. On the 24th the hospital sent my medicals and on the 25th I passed.

Post Remedicals: Normally people get PPR within 24 – 48 hours after remedical passed so I had high hopes. I started looking at boxes and jackets. I started checking out houses to rent in my province of choice. Hmm Story Story, IRCC still wanted to hold on to my application. 10 days after passing remedicals and after having my hoped dashed every morning. I raised yet another webform and heard security not started. Sigh.
I knew my wait and watch was not over. I had to reset my mood. I found ways to distract myself. I stopped logging into the application.

PPR; I got a second ghost update on the 12th of December a few days after I received a response to one of my weekly CSE. I called and was told everything passed and application approved (on Friday the 13th).
10 months and 2 agonizing weeks post-AOR, 7 weeks after second medicals passed I woke up to PPR I am speechless. I am happy: I am hopeful. I have prayed about this journey. I asked Canada to choose me. I also asked that this journey be a fresh start and be a fruitful one for my family. To everyone still on the journey, pre ITA, post AOR just hold onto whatever you believe in and know that the moment will come!
All the best!
(please pardon my errors)

Am happy for you. Congratulations. It shall lead to success for all of us.

Stencil:

I read WES is very slow about evaluation here and that ICES is better but i got information which is directed to the Africans trying to evaluate "Due to an extreme increase in evaluation requests from Africa, ICES can no longer meet the completion target of 20 weeks"

Please who use ICES recently? and which is better for now Wes or ICES?

People also say here that WES is requesting for Waec... But i cant find that info on their page again, is it that they have changed the rules again?

I also read about using candaian address to receive after verification where would i get that?

Jaybye:
Pls don't be devastated. Yoruba's will say "ẹní lórí kò ní fìlà, ẹní sì ní fìlà kò lórí tí yóò dé sí". That literally means that a lot of people here would even want to do anything to be in your shoes/stage right now...

Stay hopeful, it's a phase that will pass in a matter of time. You are almost home.
