I want to first of all THANK GOD, for this journey thus far as He has given me and my family many praise endings on this journey!!

It all started late 2016 during my annual leave. The leave afforded me the time to think deeply about my life and future and that of my young family in this country and I concluded I have to move if for nothing but for the sake of my kids.

I started out with the Canadian Study route (whilst I thought [at the time] that the Express Entry route was a long thing and difficult to achieve) God bless friends that I spoke with who encouraged me to give Federal Skilled Workers Class [FWS] a try.
(In retrospect, to imagine that the 3 schools that I applied to rejected my applications...Don't even let me talk about what I have spent hustling that route....God would have been looking at me and be like "yinmu" at me)

I and wifey wrote our first IELTS with almost similar scores...but we couldn’t use the score to climb into the 440s CRS range)- I got bad advice that I shouldn't waste money re-writing IELTS, that I should just pack into a PNP and coast to nomination for an eventual sure ITA- I did and till tomorrow, I didn’t know what made me take that advice (Don’t even let me talk of how much I have spent [and obviously wasted] on this PNP hustle talk less of bad advice that I recieved to cut some corners that would have marred my Canadian dreams ultimately by now). Thank God I didn’t heed the advice and faced re-taking my IELTS.

In Oct, 2017, I submitted an application to SINP. As at Dec 2017, I hadn’t received provincial nomination, little did I know that I was setting myself up for frustration and delay...unending test of patience for months...(You guys here on FSW can never understand what folks on the PNP route go through just to get the same ITA that we celebrate here on a regular) Here, many are even yet to understand the acronym- MEP- and before you say Jack Robi...., its PPR for them!
Frustration and lack of movement on my PNP application made me resit the IELTS and God did it enough for us to climb to 441!! (I can never forget friends here who advised against procuring an EOR for that IELTS as I had proposed to do so as to have a higher CRS than 441, they said that the score will drop and that I should wait it out…days after their advises, it did drop and I clinched an ITA on May 23, 2018)
I promptly withdrew my SINP application and bid the provincial program farewell for good. They acknowledged my intention to withdraw with a formal letter of withdrawal.

Yet again, another hiccup; My first EE profile of October 20th, 2017 became ineligible on the April 30, 2018, I missed ITA of May 9, 2018 though I had enough CRS points but because of the tie breaking rule pegged at Dec 2017, I couldn't clinch one then (as my new profile of May 1, 2018 didn't qualify- it was painful)

We did medicals in Qlife and it went smoothly. No issues. We passed medicals 3 weeks post-AOR.

We uploaded Schedule A form as part of our e-APR documents. CIC didn’t ask for it but because myself and wifey had some UK tourist visa refusals between us, we thought to note it in a Schedule A instead of being distracted with an ADR that may come later.


THINGS TO NOTE FROM OUR GCMS NOTE:

1. POF: I submitted GTbank letter in CIC format capturing my current and savings accounts balances and the fixed deposit that I have with the bank.
I also submitted the Fixed Deposit Investment letter from GTbank and letter from Stanbic IBTC pensions with my Pensions Statement of Account with a LOE stating that I have 25% available to me 4 months post resignation.

Case Officer noted all that I submitted including the 25% of pensions balance and converted naira to CAD and recommended POF criterion MET.
NOTE: 25% of my pension total sum was about about 60% of our POF, it was not a POF buffer in our case, it was a large chunk of our POF and it was passed.

2. CHANGE OF WIFE’S SURNAME POST-AOR: We got another passport for wifey though her maiden name passport was still very much beyond 6 months validity but we wanted her CoPR and PR Card to have a uniform surname as the rest of the crew. So after AOR, we applied for a new passport for change of name at Ikoyi, the passport came out after 4 weeks later and I raised a CSE for it. The name change reflected 48 hours later in my profile and the changed surname also reflected in our GCMS note.


I thank God because it was a generally smooth and issues-free application that took a total of 117 days post AOR.

I came here, I saw, I learnt and I made friends…too many friends to start mentioning you one by one, those that I have met one on one, those that I have built affinities with here and even those that don’t know me but are generally men and women of goodwill who always wish me and my family well...I thank you all for your encouragement, support and faith keeping.

Permit to specially recognize MAY 23RD ITA CLINCHERS (whatever time you submitted)…you guys made the wait fun, this is not the time to loose hope, infact everything is still on course and the eagle is getting nearer home with the golden mail; we shall all celebrate your PPRs before Christmas BGG!

** My heart goes out to those who are yet to clinch the ITA especially those on the border line of 435-439, and those awaiting PPRs, you know how we do na- keep the faith up, do all you have to do to improve the CRS legitimately because one thing is certain, iyanu ma sele soon and it will definitely end in praise IJN!


All that end well is that that end in praise!

Pls which documents did you upload to show proceeds from land sales? Sent u a pm pls

Nairaland has been my Canny bible. Thank you to all members who pain stakinly post and supply answers...Men and angels will rush to favour you.

I am not a catholic but this 3 prayers were useful to me and my family . 

Wrote IELTS with just about few days preparation,nursing 11 month old twins and working in a busy dept yet i cleared it once. I recited the Saint Joseph of Cupertino prayer and my level of confidence was so high that I got home telling hussy " I think i will miss only one question in Reading"....result was 8.5.

POF ..... Saint Jude prayer for financial assistance...two days after that prayer His miracle came forth seamlessly.

Then at the point of submission...we held hands....5 of us... sang and prayed. 

The 3days Holy spirit prayer comforted us that it will end in praise.

Kai....Jesus you love me too much o....cant just stop speaking in tongues...cos i cant find the words. 

Waiting to rejoice with you too.

Oluwaseunara

Please i just sent u a DM. I badly need the QLife appointment. We are a amily of 4 too coming from outside lagos. Kindly help pls.

ziggymanti:


Thanks... and apologies to @Hephgirl

While the originator (Kudos to them) of this group has done an incredible job of informing us of almost every aspect of this journey, there are still questions that may arise especially in between ITA and AOR. what is bad if a person asks a question like the one I had to answer and politely told @Helpgirl above not to use an important issue to joke. We will soon end this thread for another part and questions like IELTS and ECA upload isn't crystal clear in the form. And from the watsapp group I belong, people have had ADR and some rejection threat because of this IELTs and ECA. So I was upset when he/she decided to joke with such an important question. Apologies to @Helpgirl, you and folks that didn't like how the convo went.

In order good news... I have a slot in Qlife for November 27th - family of four if anyone is interested. I don't know how the swap thing works, but I am sure people have done it and are successful.
Cheers.

Pls where u able to get the pcc from Mr Moshood same day?

How long does it take to get it pls?

wasseynewest:
I just did with Mr Moshood on Friday. It was 4k. Though he first told me 5k but when I told him am a Nlander,
he collected it with a smile.

Yes,they use headsets

Exam venue is Vine International school,Tombia extension,GRA.

Justice179:

I want to know if they use headset for their listening@MOD center Ph. As for my writing, I was expecting a minimum of 7.5 or worst case 7. The exam coordinator wrote my candidate number on a paper during writing because he said I was holding my pencil after he said pencils down. However, he told me I won't be penalised when I meet him later after the test. I can't tell if I was later penalised

efueh:
Please for those that wrote with MOD on 27th October and have collected their test report form, please what result date is on it? I suspect it should be 8th November the 12th day based on past trend, but my friend is not comfortable with guessing because of misrepresentation fears and wants to enter the pool asap ahead of Monday.
Please any precise info for those(MOD) that collected yesterday? Input will be highly appreciated.

The date on it is 7/11/2018

Congrats dear, been looking out for your post.

Jehovah Overdo did it for me. IELTS 2nd attempt. LRWS - 8.5,8.5,8,8. I wrote with MOD this time. Thank God for victory, CRS sitting at 448. Unto the next stage. Thanks everyone.

Pls anyone that has a slot for medicals and is not using it should kindly help me biko, family of 4 coming from outside lagos, the expense no be beans. God bless us all.

Please do the sessions hold in other locations outside lagos?

dumprep:
Yes, both primary applicant+accompanying spouse and dependents can attend.

Copied from their website, they say - "Each eligible principal applicant, spouse and adult dependent wishing to attend Planning for Canada orientation sessions must register individually.

Once you complete your registration, you can continue registering other eligible family members who plan to attend Planning for Canada orientation sessions. A button will appear to bring you back to the registration form page."

Thanks,God bless you.

daks01:

Plain paper (she’s not authorised to use letterhead) but I notarised it, added her business card and ID card.

Please, the reference letter u eventualy used which your oga wrote for you, was it on the company letter head or plain paper, i have a similar case pls..




.

daks01:
Issabit tricky o. You can write a strongly worded LOE and then write a letter of stating your JD(notarised) add all those other docs (which I assume contains almost all the info IRCC request for). Then pray you get a leninent VO.
But I would advice that you try and beg someone in your org to help even if it’s your colleague. In my case The ref letter I got from my HR had k leg (and they weren’t willing to issue another one) so I just abandoned it and went to beg one Oga to write it for me and I added all her details(it took a while to find someone willing to) so maybe you should try.

It wasntbsuccessful, they said it cant be rescheduled. I had to do it same day with LWR and it was realy stressful cos i eventualy finished by 5 pm.

oneblackguy:


hallooo, pls how did your request for a rescheduled date went?
successful or not?
