Long Post

God has been wonderful to me since I began my canny waka in 2017. I’m not the best of writers, so pardon me for my poor grammar (@raphrulz don’t come for me with -1/10 please).

My sincere appreciation goes to Nairaland people, at some point I felt you guys live online cuz you reply mails in few minutes and your posts have been very helpful. Kudos!!! . Please keep up the good work.

In July 2017 - I can’t recollect the exact date but my friend called me
Licious : Ogbeni wa je ki a gbiyanju Canada IELTS yi ko le(Guy lets try out this canada,IELTS is not hard), people dey pass am, Let’s register for it.
Me: I no fit stress myself jare , my work is demanding plus I dey broke (my mini phone biz was not doing well-lost all my savings ).

16th December 2017 - This was the day I made up my mind to start this Canada Journey, at this point I only had only 100k in my account(sold a phone the previous day with 78k profit). I drove down to my friends house - he helped me register for IELTS and I paid for my school’s transcript (LAUTECH were school).

IELTS :I did my exam January 20th passed on 2nd February 2018 - This my my first and only attempt. I remembered being overwhelmed after checking the results that I got confused. I just sent out my result to my friend, my sister and her husband to ask if I passed(barely passed 8.5/7/7/7). Lol

ECA - I decided to go with ICES cuz I don’t want story that touch with WES verification considering LAUTECH can go on strike for another two(2) years. I made my submission in January 2018 and got my evaluation via UPS on March 23 , 2018.
ITA - I filled my express entry application and submitted March 26th. I got ITA April 11
.
Documentation : Then the hustle for documentation started. I got the sample template for employer reference here on nairaland and sent it to my head of HR directly. Baba being a nice guy prepared it and signed it same day.

Proof of Fund: People don’t really talk much about this. If we all had our Proof of Funds most of us won’t consider Canada(Don’t quote me). .This was the time I knew my real friends and family. I was looking for CAD 23,181(My spouse was pregnant) but if I was able to get CAD 19, 093 that will be fine. Close to the end of 90 days grace period - God came through for me, Yes I got close to CAD 22,000 equivalent in my GTB Savings account.I had enough inflow and outflow that I wasn’t worried about redflag of any huge deposit. All the POF money came in in bits (100k to 500k) cuz I didn’t want to go through the Gift deed wahala.
My POF was generic GTB Six Months Statement of Account (49 pages). I struggled to compress it to the required 4MB.

Medicals - I booked Medicals for Family of three(3) with Children practice on Tuesday July 3rd - I gave the lady at the reception the passport and biodata pages . Then Gbagaun!!! she told me straight up that I won’t be able to do my medicals as my Passport is less than Six(6) months to expiry. I was like Mogbe!!! I called Ikoyi Passport Office contact. Dude told me no Passport pages available that I should go to Ibadan. I called ibadan and was told no 32 pages passport that I should proceed to Ekiti. All these was happening when my ITA expires in 8 days. In short- drove down to Ibadan next day - did 64 pages (for 39k) and got it same day. I drove down to Ikoyi Children practice the following day and did medicals.

AOR- Submitted my Application July 9th 2018 and spent the weekend creating vetting and uploading documents. Payment was made using GTB dollar Mastercard.

ADR: 25th July I got ADR for my spouse which had a missing information between 2009/06 to 2009/09/ and 2017/04/01 to 2018/07/09. Lesson: try and ensure we don’t overlap or miss out timeline.

Silence - The period of constant checking of my profile without update. I know it is not easy o but please let’s just leave the account. When there is an update. You will get an email.

1st Nov 218 - God blessed my family with a baby girl on 1st Nov 218. I was so busy with the baby’s stuffs that I forgot to raise a CSC for the newborn.
3rd Nov 2018 – I decided to raise a CSC for the new baby and started gathering documents.
7th Nov 2018 – I got a response to my CSC that I should contact Ottawa via email to inform them of my new family addition.
I immediately sent a mail to Ottawa – informing them of my new family addition. Then things got interesting … I got an ADR - Travel History Info Form and Passport pages(we don't have any travel history) same day for my spouse and I. I couldn’t wait to get to the office the following day to scan the passports which made me result to using my smartphone to snap the and merge the Passport pages –
At the point I felt PPR was close – deep down I was praying that my baby should be added before PPR is issued.

12th Nov 2018- Did my Baby’s Passport at Ibadan (Yes I took the risk of Lagos Ibadan for the 1 day passport)

13th Nov 2018 - Brought her back to Lagos for Medicals at IOM Ikeja- the lady at the reception was kind enough to attend to us without appointment cuz my baby was just 13 days old.

15th Nov 2018 - First PPR - the mail(dated 14th November 2018) came like Russian Phishing mail in my inbox. I was so happy but at the same time worried since my mail to ottawa hasn’t been replied.
I decided to send a follow-up mail to Ottawa attaching all the required documents as specified in @niobe77 post.

20th Nov: I logged and saw application/profile update but didn’t see any update
21st Nov: I logged and saw application/profile update and yes I saw that they've included my baby's name on the list of dependants)

22nd Nov: I received a notification for an update on my profile but still didn't see any additional update.

7th Dec 2018- I check nairaland and saw @hachikaru post that he/she received PPR that we should all check our emails. I checked mine and lo and behold I saw the Golden-Indian mail.

Thanks to @Joo2018 and @Newmum0615 for always responding to my mails.

**I’m using my spouse’s moniker cuz I use mine for business here on Nairaland.

Congratulations!! Please what should one do when ones wife is 7 months due and receive PPR?
Should we carry on to make travel plans or inform VO?

gook:
Oh..all well and good then...She should be hopeful of getting PPR before giving birth.In that case, no need informing them at all.If all goes well with her application, she should get it max 6 months hopefully.

Thank you

gook:
It might not be that straight forward though...Xray may not be done by the hospital If pregnancy is still at early stage.In this case, she might do all other tests, then inform CIC of her pregnancy at early stage,they will most likely put the application on hold till she is able to take the X-ray.Medical won't be passed till Xray is presented by the hospital.
X rays aren't good in early pregnancy.She might not like it,cis we all love to get PPR if possible,next day after AOR,but for the safety of herself and the unborn child, she might have to do it that way.

She has done medical already

Fshady:
When she goes for medicals, the pregnancy issue will still come because of xray.

She has done Medicals already

Please seniors weigh in on this.my friend just got AOR and also just found out of her 6weeks pregnancy. Please advise course of action.
Many thanks

Zeiya:
Done with biometrics this morning. It was pretty easy for me even without appointment

Thanks for sharing.please I would like to know if I can schedule my biometrics date or wait for them to give me a date.

Seniors
I urgently need your advice.i want to evaluate only my law school certificate with Iqas cos my uni is delaying
.Will I still get a favourable evaluation?

Flaj:
Use IQAS for LLB only to get masters degree equivalency, it scores higher than 2 or more certificates. Read page zero and CIC website

Thanks

koonlay5:
I’m so grateful to God for this. Patience was at another level and prayers too.
I would like to go straight to key points:
1. This group provides all the information you will need. We wrote IELTS in Nov 2016. My spouse, the PA, had 7.5 in Listening. We were told it was fine but we all know what that meant. That made us go to BC two more times.
2. My spouse is a lawyer. Folks here will remember I asked that if lawyers, despite being accessed as two or more certificate by WES can still input as Entry to professional/Masters as written on CIC site. So, Despite ours being accessed as two or more certificate, we choose to use Masters. When we received our GCMS notes, we realized that two or more certificate was used and our CRS dropped, though higher than the cut off ITA at that time. Please use the correct WES evaluation

AOR .. December 22, 2017
ADR for IELTS result.. January.8
Reply to ADR January 9

Two GCMS requests in February and May.
From February GCMS, i read where a review was required as regards my POF. I immediately raised a CSE and submitted another account statement.
May GCMS was same as Feb. Nothing done

No Ghost update.

Once again, I appreciate all members of this forum. Yours will come speedily.

Congratulations.please if I use IQAS for my evaluation as a lawyer,will it fall under master's?
Also will law school cert plus llb give me two certs should I decide to go with WES?
