nymphomaniac:

Hi, please did you do the fingerprinting yourself or you used a professional? I am also waiting for the fingerprint document.

heykims:
Have u got the certificate?
I sent my finger print yesterday and they reached back that I should exercise some patience as they are processing it.

My brother requested for his transcript since January, it was just sent through ETX 2 weeks ago after several back and forth

ETX is faster and cheaper but those schs like to extort by insisting on courier

WES has evaluated it and estimated report date is 28th of this month (it will most likely be issued next week from my experience)

hafdol:
Hi Everyone,

Please is there anyone here who has completed their WES verification here from Unilorin, I need some help and your plug. I can see on WES website that the transcript is to be sent electronically but the person who wants to help me said the process is different in that the transcript will be sent through a courier and WES is gonna send an email to Unilorin for Verification, which means I'm gonna pay for both transcript and Verification separately.

I'm a bit confused about the process as what i can see on WES website is different from the process in unilorin. I'd really appreciate if i can talk to anyone who's done this from Unilorin abeg

Thank you.

Personally,I didn't
I only got commissioner of oaths signature and stamp at the high Court for #50 only! No ADR,gotten PPR since March

Dennyjuff:
People of God, please is it compulsory to notarize a gift deed from mother to daughter for proof of funds

Kompressor:
Toronto, you?

Alright then
Since the hospital can't link it,you should do it to put your mind at ease.

PanicButton:
Thanks for the input. I have been to IOM twice where I requested for a re-link but they stated that it can only be linked once after it is submitted to the portal. They advised I could try doing the requested medicals. Plus I have sent countless emails and webforms, even to the london assessment centre. I know it hasn't been processed; the agent I spoke to today said the same thing, but I am trying to reduce the duration of uncertainty(not knowing when) in my application.

You could have gone to the hospital with your remed request,they will link your upfront with it instead of doing another medical.
Also,that it's not reflecting in your account doesn't mean it has not been received. It has not just been processed yet

We did upfront in February and it was passed in 3 working days. Ppr came in march
Did you send a mail with your upfront details to London assessment centre?

PanicButton:
Hello Guys,

I am tired of waiting for the upfront medicals I did since January 11 to be processed and updated on my profile. I have spoken to numerous agents and they keep telling me to be patient and all. Since I have received a request for medicals since the 27th of April, I have gone ahead to pay and book another medical examination for tomorrow. What are the ramifications of having two medicals on my file (one upfront and the second requested by IRCC)? Has anybody been in this position? I would need more clarity reagrding this conundrum before my medical appointment tomorrow. Please help with your suggestions.

Congratulations!
Where are you headed?

Kompressor:
Finally, passport came in yesterday and Visa was issued by RROC, guess that’s why it took 8weeks
Thanks guys

Tbh, Accra direct and Abuja/lagos VFS takes almost the same timeline nowadays. If you aren't in a hurry,just use Lagos and give them 2 months max..use that time to tidy up things

Abuja VFS took 5 weeks for me, received passport on Thursday

DelayIsNotDenia:
Allegory for President!!!

Please how do I go about sending it to Accra? I did my biometrics in Lagos, would that affect my chances? Thank you so much for the advice!!

It should come next week hopefully.

Got counterfoil on 22nd too and received passport yesterday..Abuja VFS

Kompressor:
That’s why I’m confused regarding the mail I got today. My Copr has been generated since April 22nd

Track on DHL website using your return tracking code

Kompressor:

Wow..this is long overdue.
Check your EE profile well o.. if nothing,then it should come soon, yours is just one of the exceptional cases.

Mekailo:
Thanks for response attached is last reply I got via mail

Check your profile properly if they requested any document.
Also send mails to all parties involved.
What was the last update you got?

Mekailo:
Please I applied for temporary residence to Canada and have summited my Passport upon request by IRCC on 26th February and up till date am yet to get it back , it's there a cause to be worried as it's over 2–3 weeks normal time frame for decision envelope to be returned. What do you advice pls, I sent it through DHL to Canada embassy VI

Qatar Airways.. Abuja to Moncton..2 adults 1 child 1 infant
I used wakanow to compare prices and book

Lotusgoddess:
Please what airline did you book with?

Qatar Airways.. Abuja to Moncton..2 adults 1 child 1 infant

wickedbandit007:
900k for 4 people? Do you mind sharing which airline this is?

Qatar Airways.. Abuja to Moncton..2 adults 1 child 1 infant

Dimple10:
Pls which airline??

I think it depends on setting realistic deadlines.
I bought our ticket same day I sent passport to Abuja. The date was 10 weeks away (was wayyyy cheaper,less than 900k for 4 of us). Passport is back, with DHL, to be delivered to me on may 5th. Flight is still in a month's time.

tshtsh:
Best of luck and hopefully you'll campaign against buying a ticket before receiving passport + COPR. It just places one under some kind of pressure

You can

Kompressor:
Thanks, didn’t know I could actually pick up in person if I call them

They won't deliver until after the holidays because I got may 5th for my estimated delivery date.
If you are in Lagos, keep tracking on their website,then call that you want to come and pickup in their office. You should get it before Wednesday

Kompressor:
Scary delay o. The way it’s going I’ll have to reschedule my flight cos I had one booked for Wednesday

Hi, please do you need a transit visa for Dublin?

Thank you
Yes,the session also serves as a connection to the province. You should take it serious

overlord77:
Wow @barby008, that was a long ride. congrats.

LONG POST ALEEEERRRRRRT!!!

I heard about EE in 2017 when my only sis was processing hers but i wasnt interested because it seemed like US lottery to me. Infact, i went with her and the kids for their medicals, we spent the whole day at the hospital. wetin our eyes see ehn, I was angry and stressed because i no know wetin be my own.

In 2018, their application was approved and i had to hasten my wedding so she could attend before they left.

Fast forward to 2019 after my brother also submitted his application, i started considering relocating (hubby was still the 'pro Nigeria person') and found this great thread where I gathered and still gathering lots of information for the journey. i dey sleep and wake on NL then ..and the PPR stories dey sweet me ehn... lol...

We decided hubby will be the PA for more points. We started his evaluation with WES which took 5 months of back and forth between WES and Unilag (lemme not even start with this gist). I sat for IELTS in August so as to ginger him and got LRWS 8,8.5,6.5,7 with less than 2 weeks of practice. Baba no gree write,kept postponing until December 2019, he had 7.5,5.5,6.5,8.
Shortly after, COVID started,then lockdown!
He sat for another test in December 2020 after much persuasion and had 8,5.5,7,7
At this point, I had to also evaluate my BSc to add more points (took a month for my school to send electronically and 10 days for WES to evaluate and get the report).

We immediately registered for another test in January 2021 and he got 8,6,7,7. I was sad but happy the result is enough to enter the pool. CRS was still low (405 for both of us) and we decided i become the PA but i had to do additional certificate to add to my BSc. I made a lot of research and eventually settled for a PGD.
I was still dragging on applying for the PGD when my sis sent the link for NB information session to me. At that time, i didnt know its relevance and was reluctant to register. We both created a separate profile, entered the pool and registered for the session after getting hubby's IELTS TRF. I made a mistake while registering for myself, i couldn't go back or continue the application so i had to start with another email address.
February 2021, i had a baby and our focus shifted for a while.
Few days to the virtual session in March, hubby got the invite which he later attended. Unknown to me, i also got the invite (which i saw months later because i re-registered with my less used email). We were just glad hubby got it and we didnt lose out on it. We sent an EOI after the session.

April 2021 came and i saw people receiving LOI left and right...haaa,oluwa, wetin dey occur??
As i no see any show, I had to goan apply for the PGD jeje and was hoping to gain admission, study while we restrategize.

June 2021, One evening, people were receiving another batch of LOI in the telegram group and i was lamenting that dem don jump pass me again..The next day, Naso hubby tell me he recieved a mail to check his account and he has been trying to open his profile to no avail...I was baba,e no open bawosince morning and u no tell me?? na so i begin dey clear cookies,cache,browsing data,close and open different browser, rinse and repeat...till the profile tire and open o..I saw LOI with my eyes, i was happy ehn.
Immediately, we withdrew the previous EOI and sent another one according to the mail.

We sent a mail to them and waiting game for ITA began. people were receiving ITA the day after EOI but ours didnt come. A day turned into 2 days, 5 days, a week.. we were becoming scared because I have a sibling in another province (which is considered a risk). we did research to find people in the same situation, kept hoping and praying, sent mails, no response because you see ehn, this little ray of hope meant everything to us. Baba has started picking interest in the japa journey but was tired of writing IELTS.
As a last resort, we drafted a compassionate mail to show our genuine interest in the province (na only beg remain wey we no do) and we told ourselves that will be the last attempt, God should take control.
Exactly a month later, we got a response to one of our mails that ITA has been sent. We were HAPPYYYY!!!

We gathered documents, took some risks:
-used 100% gift deed (which we got stamped and signed by the commissioner of oaths at the high court for #50, nothing more...),
-an LOE merged with the NIS application printout in place of our daughter's passport (which took about 5 weeks),
- our digital photos were taken with an app on my phone (we had to take another pic of our baby for Federal ITA)
-reference letter for PA (he was paid in cash and indicated in the RL but we didnt attach any cash salary certificate) and 6 months statements of current job (which was almost irrelevant)
-Stanbic mutual funds investment certificate, account statement, reference letter (this one sef took 2 weeks and we had to submit the application without it, kept going to the bank until the day i made a scene and refused to leave, they sent it to my mail few hours later.
- POF is in my account so we attached a letter of consent (signed by me..no notary, stamp or anything)
- our marriage certificate was collected at our local government registry (we no go Ikoyi o) and it had a different profession to what we were doing at that time (people were of the opinion that it must match with the personal history). We eventually submitted.
We uploaded the Stanbic reference letter and our daughter's passport when it was ready.

Remember my first IELTS in 2019 we thought we would have gotten nomination and fed ITA but it expired 3 weeks after we submitted (yeah, thats how time flies). Funds were kinda tight so no room for unnecessary spending, thats why i researched more, tried to find people in the same situation and didn't just do follow follow. We decided to wait for an ADR for updated IELTS (which never came). Hubby's CRS dropped to 387 while my profile became ineligible.
Nomination wey people dey get in 1 week, e reach our turn, it came in 9 weeks! Anyway, nothing spoil!

Oct 2021, we got the nomination certificate, got federal ITA, used all documents submitted for NB, collected PCC.
Few days after, i realized i wasnt offered admission to the PGD and classes have resumed already (who needs it again anyway..lol)
Nov 2021, we submitted without medicals (submitted an LOE that we are outlands and will await their instructions).
I joined lotssssssssss of groups on telegram, WhatsApp and some other websites just to be up to date with informations that i eventually became overwhelmed with it.
I cant remember checking our profile after submitting till we got BIL in January 2022 but you see after BIL ehn, anxiety started...found myself checking multiple times a day for GUs and all. We did upfront medicals after BIL and it was passed in few days after sending mails to london office where our medicals are being assessed.
I had to try and distract myself by learning a digital skill till PPR came knocking!



This japa journey tested our patience, there are times we argued, fought, laughed, prayed, encouraged each other depending on situation.
Its not how far but how well and we are glad it has ended in praise!!!
Thanks for reading!

If you just opened the profile days ago, it's normal.

If not,check well again...go to the down part where messages are

Olisa222:

Hello distinguished members,

Please I need assistance with how to create a profile on Express Entry pool.

I have my GCKey details but I don't know the next step that will take me to where I can input my information, WES, IELTS etc.

Kindly assist with this. I have tried to follow the process as stated on Page 1 but no show.

Thank you

If there's a way to get the money sent through either of your parents, I think it's better. You can explain to your uncle to send the money to his sibling (your mum or dad) first.
Personally, I used my mum

teesquad007:
Can a gift deed come from him as my uncle as we share the same surname? Am a bit worried as some feel the gift deed coming from someone immediate family like mum or dad is better?

Search Saskatchewan immigration group on telegram. It will pop up

You can use your MSc study period for FSW if the work:

was paid by wages or commissions
was continuous (no gaps in employment), and
meets all the other requirements of the Program

You cannot however use the duration of your study INSIDE Canada.

I hope it helps.

Ok, thanks

Allegory:
This shouldn't matter. When filling out your application, you'll be given slots to fill the dates of commencement and conclusion of your studies. I think its common in Nigeria to have convocation dates that's sometimes a few years away from the conclusion date. Even if the dates are queried, you could always show something like your admission letter to prove that you were really done by 2017.
