It doesn't take a genius to know that when IRCC conducts large draws like these, they have something up their sleeve.

jasperonyx:
wow,you didn't announce when you got a job with Ircc.

She can do it. She and her husband should go to Alberta. I have a friend that did the same thing. She planned to stay in Toronto and landed in Alberta because of her pregnancy. She landed in the middle of covid lockdown, so you can imagine how tough things were. Later, she and her husband decided to remain in Alberta because they fell in love with the province. They have a house they bought now, and life is going great.
As long as she has a supportive partner, she can do it. Many people move to countries where they don't know anyone.

The whole process of adding another baby could take up to an extra year. You can't trust Canada and their timelines. Let her go and give birth to her Canadian citizen and enjoy free healthcare and benefits.

Also, she won't be giving birth 5 days after landing. She said she would be 30 weeks pregnant so there would be enough time for them to settle down and plan.

Venom104:
I’ll also suggest you wait to give birth in Naija. While sorting out your plans, you can begin the process of adding your baby. Alberta offers immediate coverage, but landing in a province close to delivery without strong support is going to be very hard, even as the weather is getting warmer.

Check YouTube . A Naija lady documented her experience giving birth 5 days after landing.

I really wish you were patient. Let's just pray there will be more draws like this.

saskatoonguy:
though i have not submitted. I have start filling but right i will delete the profile outrightly. Thank you

It's a post-graduate degree now. This question is funny

Harmony63:
Is MBA degree seen as masters for someone applying for express entry or must it be Msc?

I saw it o! Thank you & Amen!!! I wanted to post here also because this thread used to be my 2nd house
Hopefully, others taking the french route will remain inspired.

Posted in the big bro thread but félicitations again Cutebear!.
You definitely deserve it!!
Your TCF result was the first I'd seen of here on nairaland and it certainly turned my eyes towards this lesser known exam.
May the Land favour you!!!

Thank you! I'm glad to have inspired others to try TCF. Your good news is coming too

aurorae1:
Felicitations Cutebear! It gladdens the heart to see a french aided temoignage(no accents, the ban bo.t isn't merciful at all).

It was your post on the TEF thread that convinced me to turn my eyes toward TCF.
I'm glad it all worked out.

Your highest degree (post-graduate)

Femi005:
Hello everyone please I need some clarifications. I have a first degree and a postgraduate degree. Which of them will I need to access by WES.

Yes, happy to help as much as I can.

ClassicJohn:
Hello.....congratulations!

Please, can I reach out regarding TCF?
If yes, is the email messaging option on your profile ideal?

Thanks in advance.

I wrote 2nd IELTS because the first one expired after 2 years of waiting in the pool. There were no FSW draws so that's why I didn't get ITA.

Awesomemama:
Congratulations cutebear, it's been a long time coming
Looking at your timeline ITA came about a year after passing TCF and your second IETLS. Is there a particular reason why? Or was the score at time too high?

Okay, I'll send now

Gsilk:
Hello @cutebear,
I’d like to ask a question- concerning your TCF prep.
Could you pleaseeeeee send me a blank email to:
Chattyontheweb @ gmail,com ?
Thank you!

PPR/COPR ALERT!!! (Sorry I'm a bit late)

Timeline below:
Decided that Nigeria was not for me: May 2019
*1st IELTS: August 2019 (I got good scores but didn’t have Masters/extra certificate, so my CRS score was 432 I was hoping to get PNP, but I never got a nomination)
*CRS Score from year 2019 to 2021 = 432
*TCF French exam written: May 2021
*TCF French exam passed: June 2021
*New CRS Score in June 2021 = 500
*1st IELTS expired in August 2021, so I rewrote it in July 2021
*2nd IELTS passed July 2021 (with higher scores than last time)
*New CRS Score in 2021 = 506
*September 2022: Moved to the UK for Masters. Original plan was to do the Msc in Canada after becoming a PR but 1 year Master’s compared to 2 years in Canada is better for me.
*ITA received: 28th September 2022
*Medicals done in London: November 2022
*Submission & AOR: 25th November 2022
*Biometrics in London: 22nd December 2022
*PPR letter received: March 1st 2023
*Passport received by London VFS: March 7th
*Passport/COPR received: March 15th

Extra Notes: I am single and in my late 20s, so I never had issues with losing marks since 2019 when I started the journey.

It’s funny how whenever I tell people my CRS score they think that I was lucky to have had a high score but they forget that I was in the pool for 3 whole years before getting ITA. My EE profile expired 3 times.

This journey is not for the faint-hearted but by the Grace of God, with your hard work and resilience. You will also give your testimony too!!!

It has to be WES Canada. They won't accept the USA evaluation.

Portlouis:
I have had my documents sent to Wes USA for evaluation already.
Will I have to ask my school to resend to Wes Canada? Or can I simply switch to Canada evaluation?

Transcript & Certificate. It's your school that will handle it, not you. WES won't accept the documents from you.

Portlouis:
The certificate to be verified by Wes, is it only transcript?

You can't create a profile without writing IELTS and getting your certificate verified by WES Canada. Please read Page 1 of this thread.

Portlouis:
I am about starting this EE process because I believe I have the qualifications.

I want to ask, should I create a profile first before writing IELTS or the reverse?

I just got PPR. I'll be leaving the UK after my Masters.

babajeje123:
Thanks bro, if I may ask, did you leave UK for Canada?

You are not alone. Many people are leaving the UK for Canada. You can't compare sponsorship visa to permanent residency

babajeje123:
Please has anybody successfully moved from the UK to Canada? I've a brother that's a PR and he's asking me to come with my family. I'm sceptical about this as I don't know why he thinks Canada is better than the UK. He hasn't lived in the UK so he doesn't have practical experience. I want someone who has lived in both countries to kindly share their practical experience. My wife is really emotional about the whole thing as she wants us to leave the UK but I don't want to go and start all over again as one is getting settled here by God's grace. Pls help
I've booked for IELTS test to make her happy but thinking of cancelling it.

Hello, my PPR letter also didn't come with the height and eye colour chart, but luckily, my sister sent a screenshot of the one from her letter so that's what I printed. You can use the one I just attached. It's generic and not specific to a person

Miide2:
Hi guys is there any link to the height and eye color declaration form that we need to submit ?

Hmmm okay thank you

bigmills:
I have a friend that did in December and got his passport back within 3 weeks.
Just plan 4 weeks.

I really pray this will be my story. Congratulations!

Bilingualism:
That might be a long time thread. I submitted my passport at London VFS too and also did my biometric in London.

Submitted on the 20th or 21st January and by 31st I already had my passport and copr this 2023.Infact the place where my passport stayed the longest was at VFS. It only stayed 48houra in ircc office in London before it was sent back to vfs

I plan on doing so o. I'm just waiting to receive the COPR in my hand. Just know that my journey has been very long and I got my points through french exam.

Miide2:
please can you share your timeline from ITA ?

Thank you...I really hope it doesn't pass four weeks.

Teetom04:
I submitted mine today in London and I’m hoping they return it before April because of an Europe trip first week of April.
I asked the guy that attended to me if it can come early, he said he can’t guarantee that and I should just plan for 4weeks.
Let’s keep the hope alive 😊

I am so worried right now. I presently live in England and did my Canada biometrics in London. I just submitted my passport to VFS for my COPR, but I was unaware of the extremely long wait time to receive the visa stamp until last night when I decided to check this forum, and I saw that people who used the London VFS/IRCC office were complaining that it took 4 -10 weeks to receive their passports compared to the Accra office I have a business trip to Europe in early April, and I can't afford to miss it. I think it's so unfair to hold on to someone's passport for several weeks. The U.S returns passports after 3 days. Hearing about the wait times is causing me so much panic. How soon can I raise a web form? If I tell IRCC about my upcoming business trip, will this help?

Congrats to all who were invited

Definitely! You can ask

dduchess90:
Hello @cutebear

I am interested in some issues raised here,is it possible to provide more details on this if asked??

Cheers

Thanks! I was able to get a flight to London next weekend for 1.3M

bola01234:
If e hard
Take a ride to Ghana...and buy the ticket.. it's can't be the same thing with Nigeria

Anyway, please who knows if DHL delivers passport during the weekend?

Finally!!! ITA received after starting this journey in 2019!!! After learning french, writing TCF and having to wait almost 1.5 years even after passing the french exam!!! Thank you Jesus!!!

.

Abuja wants to frustrate me o! I did my bio on August 4th, and got BRP letter stating that my visa was granted about 10 days ago. Till now, I haven't gotten movement back to VAC talk more of DHL dispatch message. I'm not even in Abuja to go and hustle for my passport. We are already entering the 2nd week of resumption. Only God knows whether they've forgotten my passport as they have been doing for some people. This whole thing has really frustrated me wallahi. I've lost all joy about this relocation process.

Lol. I'm August 4th still waiting

Jojonala:
My bio was 18th standard and I am still at DMC never been frustrated this way in my entire life.
