Any links/ info as per VO for fastest passport Processing?

shoboii:
Any June 2021 applicant in the house who has gotten PPR yet?
Just checking to know if I need to double my prayers.
Pre-arrival mail march 7,2022. Background check showing 'not stated' since then.
Big test of patience.

I'm May 2021 AOR, got Pre-arrival in January 2022. Background check shows "not started" in tracker but GCMS notes says Criminality "in progress" Security "not started", GCMS is over a month now tho. Guess we are in the same boat.

Eggovic:
Don't be worried. Mine is not started too

what's your AOR?

Any May'21 Aor here? I got pre-arrival since 17th January and a couple of ghost updates on the new tracker- the recent one being 15th July. Eligibility has been passed, tracker says background check not started. I'm worried, don't know why this is taking long. VO is Accra. anybody ?

Opinions please...

bosstos:
used to run a side hustle (which was registered) majorly sales of computer and I.t related accessories ran the business for 4months( sept -DEC 17) and stopped, while still being employed with the employer I'm claiming noc for. I didn't include this side hustle in my work history or personal history. In previous application for study visa within that period ( sept - DEC 17) I realised I stated it.
1. Is this misrepresentation?
2. Do I raise a cse ?

Godisincontrol:
For learning purposes.

[quote author=Itsawonder post=70344386]Link me to the job. I want to come back home. In addition, I'll gladly accept 1/3 of my current pay here for a job in Nigeria.

jelmusboy:
Evening people of God. I moved my POF from foreign account to naija account, while still maintaining the required POF.

Should I inform IRCC about this move or until they request for it?

If CIC had an office in say lekki you should wake up there with both bank statements and anything else to explain your situation

Ropophen:
Yeah I've been working there for over 2 years, most vet clinics pay salary by hand o as the practice is not so developed in Nigeria but I have all payslips, reference letter, last leave approval, a letter stating i am being paid in cash and a payemnt schedule of all payments since I've been working there, annual licence, receipt of monthly due to my professional body and my employer applied for my payee tax clearance at my request last week from the state tax board.

Personally I feel the issue might not be about your salary being paid in cash, cos I think an ADR would have resolved it. But going by everything you said I don't think there's any serious issue. Go through your gcms notes thoroughly and come back with your testimony

Same here too.. AOR July 27

Wow. At least I'm not alone. I thought something was off about my application.[/quote]

[quote author=Newmum0615 post=69897379]Can everyone take a seat please? It’s going to be quite a read.

It’s my turn.

PPR has come to the glory of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.


It has been a lonnnnng but rewarding experience here on this thread and in this EE journey. I have learnt a lot through months of research and waiting. If you had told me anything about relocating from Nigeria before the second week of August 2017, I would have rolled my eyes at you in apparent indifference. I was never one for living abroad. I love visiting on vacations, buying plenty stuff and coming back home. However, one day at the end of the 2nd week of August 2017, I was in the car with my husband, on our way to work and I remember vividly how I stumbled on Testden while browsing through the internet that morning. I decided to read a little and I just became fascinated with the practice texts and solving the questions. A colleague of mine who moved to Australia last year had been harping on about migrating, but I had no such plans. Hubby and I are doing quite well here, and I am also so close to my parents that the thought of staying so far away from them kept me from taking the leap.

Initially, practicing the IELTS questions was just for fun but I had a light bulb moment one day while still recovering from a surgery that almost cost me my life in a Nigerian hospital. A supposedly ‘big’ hospital. Why not take the test and work towards getting outta here? I asked myself. Hubby didn't agree at first. He is a believer now.

So voila! My first connection to anything Canadian was the IELTS test discovery via Testden. During my recuperation period, I decided that I needed a better life not just for myself but also for my kids. I considered Australia, but there is a disconnect between my first degree and work experience so I didn’t stand a chance. Canada was next on my list. I went on to research on the internet; CIC site and Nairaland popped up first among others. I have always engaged Nairaland as my go-to place for 1st hand practical experience on just about anything. It really needs to be rated among the top internet search engines in the world. We are great like that!

So, lemme not bore you with my long story joor.

Here is my timeline:

Decision to immigrate: 2nd week of August 2017.

WES evaluation received: 15th November 2017

IELTS: L8.5 R9 S7.5 W7.5

Hubby: Did very well. Maxed out on scores.

EE profile created: 1st December 2017

ITA: 6th December 2017

AOR: 1st February 2018

NA1: 2nd February 2018

Medicals passed/IP1: 12th February 2018

NA2: 16th February 2018

IP2: 27th February 2018 (the mass movement)

1st GCMS notes (ordered via gcmsbuddy.com): April, 2018 Received in less than 2 weeks

2nd GCMS notes (ordered via gcmsbuddy.com): June, 2018 Received one month later

ADR: 2 days ago. Day 179. Height & Color info + Copies of passport biodata pages (as if I didn’t provide it before)

PPR Mail: 1st August 2018. Received around past noon today. I was actually speaking in faith this morning when I was teasing y'all about having correct news . I just had the feeling.

VO: Almighty London

AOR to PPR: A whooping 181 days!

Other details:

POF: I used 3 T-bills certificates, account statement and other sources of funds. Reference letter from bank and letter from hubby giving consent to use his own portion of the funds. Used affidavit and LOE to explain huge inflows from hubby cos they were quite significant (upfront allowance from his employer). I had almost 3 times the amount needed for a family of three, so I had to exclude other sources of funds so that I don’t complicate things with a bulky upload and overwhelm the VO.

Whew! It was a battle getting that file to compress. After a 6-hour battle on submission day, I was finally able to compress it to 3.7mb. Made a mistake on the LOE in calculating total amount, was about to upload the whole file in the POF placeholder when I got a call from hubby that he had observed a mistake from his review. Had to abort mission ( ), correct it, rescan before remerging and uploading.

Employment: Got letter from my previous employer (didn’t use it in the end cos I couldn’t decide on the right NOC for it), added role in personal history. Used the one from my current employer, LOE explaining NOC change, work mails, Tax card, Staff ID card, my call card and that of my line manager. No payslips or SOA. Although I got maximum score for my previous role with current employer, I also declared my one and half year current role, same employer under my work history cos both roles showed on the same reference letter anyway, and so I had to upload the same doc again for this current role (Thanks happytbaby for calling my mind to this one. I might have missed it). Hmm, was so scared throughout the process cos I had used a different job title and NOC before ITA, but apparently, it wasn’t a biggie (thanks to @cochtrane, @einsteino, @happytbaby & @Blackbuddy for allaying my fears on this).

Education: IELTS TRF, ECA report, Degree certificates. ECA process was pretty straightforward, Naija Uni represented well. UK school, of course didn’t disappoint.

Hubby’s Education: No ECA done for either degree.

Medicals: Done at Q-Life a day before I submitted (I no dey plan travel soon, so had to shift it as far away as possible). Very seamless process.

Photos: Studio 24. The hard copies we did have expired in the wake of this delay. We have to retake them.

Legal document for name change: Submitted one & the same person affidavit for hubby.

LOE: Submitted Schedule A, old UK Visa refusal notes for hubby and 1, Travel History form, affidavit for one & the same person for hubby and his birth certificate (for different names on his docs).

CSE: I noticed that I had mistakenly swapped documents in the wrong placeholders. Raised CSE and notified them of the error.

GCMS Notes: 1st & 2nd were fine. No issues.

So, as I drop my pen, abi fingers (), let me acknowledge and thank everyone for the great job we are all doing here. You guys are amaaaaazing! Agents and consultants are seriously learning compared to us.

As I say thank you to each and every one, lemme send a special shout out to people who were and have been consistent in making this thread a success: @40manlappy (you no answer some of my PMs in the early days of my membership here sha, I still dey beef you-smiley), @Kontagious, @happytbaby (God bless you plenty), @Glitteringstar, our able landlady and data analyst, @cochtrane, @einsteino, @Blackbuddy, @mcstan18 (you snuck up on us and became a formidable “elder” smiley), @Hephgirl (I miss you in our midst.), @Elfmannisback (thank you for being our police here), @ysteph, @Ethelia, @luffyhaki, @Tojued, @ArabianRose @TEECANN, @Threemg, @vcole @smslive2 @agates @ jholarharde and many many others I can’t name here.

Hello,

a friend of mine eligible for dropbox was requested to come for a follow up interview.he has only visited u.s once on b1/b2 spending 4months though initially went for a 2wks seminar but ended up spending 4 months since his visa allows up to 6 months. pls what could be the reason for the follow up interview? is it presssumed he overstayed or what?

abujaniv:
Hello bosstos. You may hold two different visas at the same time. So you may renew the B1/B2 visa and also apply for the F1, which will be necessary should you choose to study in the US.

Thank you, but can i renew early enough before the expiration date? how long does it take to renew?

Thanks

Hello,
please i need guidance, i currently hold a b1/b2 visa which is to expire October but in the meantime i'm pursuing admission for PG studies to
resume January. My question is
1. can i go for interview as soon as possible e.g sept (that's a month before my current visa expires)?
2. if my current visa expires does it in anyway affect my chances?

thank you
