Yaaaaay... I made it to part 2. This ministry is bearing great fruit o. Weldone seniors

Aor: July 5
Medical passed: July 21
NA/IP1- I missed the change so no date.
ADR: August 1 (RPPR Fee)
Ip2: August 18 ( When I noticed)

I stated earlier in part one that I have a cute addition to my family last week Friday, should I just wait for PPR mail since I'm now in Ip2 to notify Cic or i should still go ahead and raise a CSE?
Don't really understand how Ip1 or 2 background check works, so I hope this is Ip2
Please advice cos I don't wanna long things for myself.

Congratz sis

I haven't done medicals yet. Maybe other seniors can help us out. For the pic, they have a way to crop out stuff. My baby's US passport has my hands around his head.

ok,tanks

XX01:


The eyes have to be open o. Babies these days open their eyes from day1. My first son was held upside down briefly so he was startled awake and that's how his picture was taken. My baby now was tickled awake. His picture still looks like he was furious.

LOL, very funny indeed..So how did u carry him and not appear in his pics? Well they know how they do their stuffs anyway.

How about ur babys medicals?Kindly share.
I feel there is no use for a baby to undergo any medicals o. no b just weight person go just go burn anoda mony put o,cos I know they can't do anything other than weight,temp

What a glorious CRS cut off score. I spent close to 6months on 433 with my first EE profile searching for ITA but it wouldn't come

Congratulations to all our new ITA holders, yimiton, dammiehar, XX01, et al. I know you guys expect to get speedy processing of your eAPR to PPR and so I've decided to help you with a few advice from my own experience. My timeline from AOR to PPR is just 46days which is quite impressive and something I'd wish for you guys to replicate. Now my advice to you goes as follows. Brace up its gonna be a long read

1. Getting ITA is a big deal but it's not so much of a big deal if u don't package your application well and it gets rejected. So use only 24 hours to celebrate dis ITA after which you have to settle down, snap out of the euphoria(you are not in Canada yet ) and focus on submitting your eAPR without making any costly error that may mar your chances.

2. Even though we know that ultimately d divine controls the speed of every application yet you must do your utmost best in packaging your application carefully. As much as you can, get the documents in d format specified by CIC. Start now to disturb your bankers for the reference letters and your employers for the work reference letter. From my experience, you save d VO time and make their work easier when you submit documents in the recommended CIC format and they reward that with a fast processing.

3. PCCs are very vital and you should know by now what PCCs you need to provide. To be on the safe side any country you have spent a cumulative period of 3-4 months from when you were born till now just start now to process your PCC from them. VOs r very unforgiving with PCCs and sometimes they interprete the laws around PCCs in ways we can't truly understand. If you are like me that have never enter international flight before (I.e no travel history) then u are safe but for all the ajalas in the house, the chicken has come home to roost

4. Do not be in a hurry to get AOR, thereby rushing to submit. Take your time to ensure that you include every document in your checklist and in the right file format. Always cross check that your uploads are still intact even at the point of submission. It's not really by AOR but by how fast you move from AOR to PPR. Some July AOR peeps are already with PPR while we still got some April AORs languishing in IP1. So don't let the race to get AOR get to you.

5. Avoid ADRs. If it means waiting till the final week of your 90precious days it's safer to wait it out and submit your application with that document you know will be requested. ADRs have a way of unnecessarily delaying the movement of your file. The best time to send CIC documents is before AOR so be proactive enough to prevent anything that will make then ask after. For example if you know you have been refused visa to some country, nothing stops u from filling a schedule A form proactively even before it is asked.

6. Use your LOE very well. The LOE is a powerful weapon that you must use very well to your favour. If you do an unbiased self assessment of your application, you will note the areas where your application appears to be weak. It's almost likely that the VO will come to this same conclusion as you. That's where a good LOE does wonders. You can use your LOE to politely explain and provide further detail to the VO. What u r actually doing is subtly allaying his doubts about this weak part of your application. This helps the guy to make a favorable decision on your case. The trick to writing a good LOE is being honest, polite and MOST IMPORTANTLY attaching a document to buttress your point or as evidence. Also you can write as many LOEs and attached documents to each even though there is one placeholder for LOE. That's where your PDF merger comes in. Merge all the LOEs into one single file and attach.

7. Raising CSEs is a bad, bad thing!Avoid anything that will also make you to start disturbing your application midway after AOR by having to raise a CSE. Examples are getting married, adding a baby etc. Though most times these stuffs are beyond our control but as much as you can try to avoid entering such situations because it will delay your application. If you know you want to marry that man/woman then make the decision and get married already even before you secure ITA. I've seen some people's application getting delayed because they have to include spouse. If you r expecting a baby and your due date is before the 90days post ITA period,its best you wait for the child and include him before AOR. This exactly was my case. I had ITA Apr 12th and my wife's EDD was May 12th. I decided to wait for the baby. I made every arrangements for his passport with the immigration agent( the guy thought I was crazy trying to do passport for a child yet unborn ), but alas baby came early on May 5th. My son got his passport May 12th or so and we got AOR June 19th.
So my point is as much as we can control these events let's try our best.

8. Finally just keep praying as though everything depends on your prayers but not your work and try not to be overly anxious. Who anxiety EPP sef.

I wish you guys a smooth PPR journey from here on.

I am wondering how immigration managed to take a new born picture,was his/ her eyes closed,and how was d medicals for new born conducted.

JKJ6:


Hello, i think you should send CIC a mail to inform them of the situation of things. Let them know you will update your application as soon as your baby is born.

Meanwhile, we are in a similar situation as you. Baby arrived after we submitted our application, we raised CSE over one month ago to inform CIC of our baby's arrival but yet to receive any request from CIC to update our application. Although, our application was only transferred to LVO about two weeks ago since mid April that we submitted. The letter sent to you has given us a cue of the documents we are required to submit when adding additional dependent.

Please, i would like to find out few things from you. When did your hubby raised the CSE he raised? Did CIC create a placeholder in your application account to add the documents they requested for?

Actually he stated it in his letter of explanation b4 he submitted his application in july,he hasn't raised any CSE, It was a mix up,but nw I think d best option is to raise a CSE attaching his letter of explanation+ mail sent to him and explaining further that we r yet to have our baby,THEN also sending a mail to CIC with same info

I have to check if d place holder to submit it is there but its always there cos this is like d 3rd ADR he's gotten.

MummyJaygirls:

This is their email -> CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
Also raise a CSE

Thanks dear

Remxyj:


So funny how they take note of every detail. I'm sure your application is going well that's why all dese things are been requested for. Just send them a mail and you will be fine. I just hope due dates no dey cause delay in Ppr o.

Abi o,pls do u have an email Addy one can reach them on?

MummyJaygirls:


Reply them say u never born yet, but as soon as u born all neccesary docs will be submitted. They will give concession. Do not fret

Thanks dear, u r a blessing.

Remxyj:


Woooow.... Wondering why you raised a CSE to add a dependant when he/she is yet to arrive. The medical examination already reflected that you are pregnant Cos i was asked for my due date during the proceedure. I'm waiting to put to bed before raising a CSE and if possible start the passport waka before I inform them.
I think you should simply reply the mail as soon as you can and re-quote your due date in block letters and explain in the mail that you only wanted to inform them of your intention to add a dependant on a future date. It's nothing to worry about...

He only notified them b4 submitting his application in june in his letter of explanation, we havnt raised it yet,sorry for my choice of words

careliz:
hi
I am a silent reader and my first tym posting on this thread. I wud like ur advice on this matter bothering me.
My hubby is actually d principal applicant and a Dependant of 4 for now cos we r expecting a baby by ending of d month which wud make it 5. Although he notified CIC b4 submitting his applications.My fear now is ;

1) We r expecting PPR any moment from now cos his AOR was in June 16th and he's gotten 2 ADR request of which d latest was to pay RPRF fee which he paid on 28th of last month...Now if we get PPR b4 d baby is born cos I think we have 15 days to submit d passport and fill d IMM form,what r we to do @ dis juncture? Cos d baby hasn't arrived yet
2) If d baby arrives b4 we get d PPR request I doubt we wont be able to meet d tym frame of d 15 days submission cos like we all know d scarcity of passport @ immigration office which cause a lot of delays. I am confused? Kindly respond,tnks

Guys this is d mail we received from CIC today! Shud we reply back by letting them know d baby hasn't arrived OR shud wait towards end of d month? Cos my EDD is 28th Aug to Sept 7th,datz d tym frame given to me by my doctor. Moreover even if I give birth during dat time frame,d 30 days of which have started counting now wudnt b sufficient for us to provide all d docs needed...
I just need to know when is the right time to send them a mail Pls note as well that my hubby specifically quoted my due date to CIC with an explanation in his CSE and d best they wud have done is to send us this mail towards d end of d month. pls dnt get me wrong,I really appreciate d mail but wud have been better towards my EDD as quoted.

Kindly pour in ur suggestion o, e jo,biko,abeg o. na beg i dey beg o...

Remxyj:


I'm in this same position. I'm just folding my hands and following the waves... when you get to that bridge you will surely cross it. Just paid for my RPRF too and I'm in Na2. May Gods will be done. But I believe that's what the form is meant for, to notify them of any changes in family size between your medicals have your due date so they are not completely in the dark.... I wish you a safe delivery just as I wish myself.

It's good to know i am not alone on this, we shud be updating eachoda as well.
Wishing u a safe delivery too dear.

[quote author=freeradical post=59247652] I had to wait for my son to be born to include him in my eAPR before submitting. It's best to include him before PPR but now it's really out of your hands. If the baby comes before PPR you guys can still inform CIC to include him. I would suggest your husband sends a CSE asap to CIC to indicate his intention to include an additional member so they can decide if they will delay your application a bit until the baby arrives.[/quote.

Thanks,I do appreciate ur response.

closetextrovert:


I think you should contact IRCC for advice oh! I know for sure that if you tweet a question at them, they will respond. If you are uncomfortable tweeting at them, send them an email. Turning down PPR is for the strong hearted oh! Please come back and share their response to you with us. Hopefully, bornboy/girl will decide to come before PPR arrives

Thanks a lot Dear,would definately let u guys know d outcome

MummyJaygirls:


You will have to turn down this PPR and request an extension so u can include bomboy.

Safe delivery in advance o

Thanks mummyjaygirls

DereI:


Send a mail to CIC.

When bomboy arrives, I can connect you to someone who could assist you with getting his passport in just a day.

Safe delivery in advance.

Thanks a lot dear,wud very much appreciate DAT.

Remxyj:

Please I will be needing your help on that too.

Would very much appreciate it o if u can help with DAT. Thanks a lot

Thanks every1 for ur candid advice and best wishes,I am guessing CIC is intentionally delaying PPR cos he boldly stated it in LOE b4 submitting and quoted my due date. May God lead us all thru.
