Evening my people.
Has anyone had any recent issue creating an Express Entry profile? A friend has been trying to create an account for days now with no success but keeps getting a redirected back to the main page.

Hi guys. Good to be here after a long while. A big thanks to everyone doing their best to keep this thread alive and updated with the right info.
Please has anyone here sent transcripts to WES from African Thinkers College of Education Enugu? Did you get a positive assessment please?

Whoop whoop!!! Congrats Sis... I am so glad this phase is over for us. Unto the next! Congrats once more and thanks for being a solid rock during those AVO days.

AlhamduliLlah its PPR����������.
It was in Oct 2017 that i seemed to have had an epiphany;this country wasnt getting easier to live and relocation came to mind. I had a friend that was having a hard time in naija whom i always encouraged to try Canada,she chatted me one day to say she had landed in NS Dec 2016. I also remember another friend using my card to make WES payment early 2016,so i called her up to send me d Nairaland link to the Canadian thread cos i was sure it would exist! She did and also sent me the A-Z of express entry..i went through it and i couldnt believe how easy it seemed..so i had been sitting on a long thing i thought,when i could be in Canada in a year.
I immediately went to Unilag to start transcript processing and collect my certificate that had been laying there for donkey years,they said i needed my undergrad cert,i proceeded to Lasu to process this,this took me another 2 weeks to get out,upon my return to Unilag,story started,they couldnt find my results,they advised i go to PG school from Records office,Pg school said Department didnt send mastersheet,i should go to them,however my name was on d graduating list o,see village people,thats how they were tossing me up and down till they went on that long strike. Mogbe�� one day during d strike,i decided to call the hanty in records office,thats how she told me they were outside the building under the sun trying to go in but the union guys wouldnt let them..i said heya sorry o,send me your account no lemme send u money for pure water. 2 days later i get a call from Hanty that 'is my name so so so' i said yes,she said she just found my results and was already preparing my transcript i shouted wonderful,this same result we searched and searched for in the cabinets in records office and we didnt see..pure water has brought it out. I thanked her and sent money for Fanta to encourage her to send my transcript to ICES asap,they did this in february and ICES acknowledged receipt 2 days after..Woohoo. I changed my mailing address from naija to a Canny address as my body was hotting for ITA. ,i got a cheque for a refund for $46 courier fee,cheque is still cooling in Canny till now.

I had written.my first ielts in Dec 2017 and 7.5 in listening made me retake the test immediately in Jan,this one came out alright. LRSW 8.5,9,7.5,7. My ECA was ready in March and i dived into the pool with a CRS of 440,i thought i was going to be swimming out almost immediately either by direct ITA or nomination from ontario but i got another think coming! CRS kept roving around 441,442,443. It went on like this till sept when i was about to lose points due to birthday. Somewhere along the line,in june precisely,hubby who said he wasnt interested in being a PR but would rather procure TRV for visiting,started feeling for me and asked how he could help. That's when it occurred to me to evaluate his masters. and if he also did Ielts or TEF, CRS would jump to 446. So i swung into action to evaluate his Msc,this didnt turn out well because cos even though it was a foreign school and WES would evaluate it very fast,the school said they couldnt send transcripts to a third party,that he should come to campus to pick up and send to whomever he wants. Shuo�apparently people in France dont go studying abroad so frequently hence they were not used to such requests,as i could not speak french na, i had to be on hubby to follow up with them and that itself was an herculean task cos oga dey too busy .a lot of time passed and the back and forth continued,i gave up on them,by this time i has also persuaded him to write ielts,cos the next test dates for TEF was 3 months away,He had the ielts in PH,after I toasted him that PH MOD was a VIP centre. (He is crowd ~camera~ shy)luckily they were just about 15 at the test centre ;Dso my lie went undetected We got 18/20 from his ielts However this wasnt going to be of any use without his ECA. One day,i decided to check our WES profile and i saw a completion date...Hurrayyy,then i looked closely and realised it was 2 days after by birthday,i would have lost 6 marks(yes at a certain age,u lose 6 marks,not 5 and d CRS calculator doesnt reflect this) Anyhoo hubby encouraged me to change back to unaccompanying and CRS cut off finally dropped to 440 on sept 5 and iTA landed. There's a myth that if uve had so much hurdles pre ITA either ielts or ECA wahala,ur app processing will be fast..i wish! Submitted in October,heaved a sigh of relief and went about my life,got request for rprf in Nov and thought my application was gonna be fast. first week in January,i decided to raise CSE to request for vO and i got the dreaded answer: ACCRA. I couldnt laugh or cry,i had been planning an april landing,i immediately readjusted my plans and mind to 2020 and went about life,i also sought and found d AVO group and joined early January,they confirmed my fears,they had not seen up to 3 PPRs from accra in 6 months. Everyone was very accomodating and were always rooting for each other,no regrets joining the group at all.I requested GCMS in March and received it early April saw RR for stat questions,Age drop btwn ITA and AOR...but i wasnt bothered about this at all.

Thereafter,AVO started raining ADRs for famous 5 in march i got my share on the 9th,submitted 12th.Another month of waiting,then the ghost update came and still nothing happened unril 10 days after.

In all I wrote Accra to find out whats up twice,the first time,i got an ADR later that day while the second time was yesterday,they never reply my mails but i usually see action thereafter,so u guys can give that a shot. One more thing,i start my letters with 'Dear Visa Officers,thank You for all the work you do' lol,i dunno if that helped.

I cannot conclude this write up without giving a big shout out to both @newmum0615 and stonecoldcafe. Both sisters heard 'wen' in my hands,i will call or write them just to rant,from waiting for ITA for 6 months,to my hubby school issues to finding out file was in Accra,i cant thank you both enough.

Before i forget,my special appreciation to the AVO group,from the admins that have to keep adding people daily,to the friends i made there @cutieplum, Obi1conte and a host of others

My Timelines are
Dec 2017 1st ielts LRWS 7.5,8,7.5,7
Jan 2018 2nd ielts LRWS 8.5,9,7,7.5
March 2018 ECA

Oct 08 2018 AOR
Nov 7th Med passed
Nov 21 Rprf (mine)
Nov 22 FTD to Accra
March 9 ADR(famous 5)
9th May PPR

Things to note :
Schedule A- I filled my name as PA in both forms.i noticed people get confused about this whether to put spouse as PA in spouse's form or retain same

For ADR payslips/bank statement - I printed 6 months each even tho I have over 10years work experience,didn't see d need to overburden the VO with proof,I also had loans showing on my payslips.

GCMS notes showed my pension wasn't considered maybe cos it was just a buffer to d POF.

INITIAL POF - used Tbills certificate and an Investment in Leadway. Added about 3 expired Tbills certificate which I was rolling over during my 6 months wait for ITA to the LOE session.

PASSPORT PHOTOS : Scanned the photos i carry around in my wallet and uploaded for eApr

PCC : My PCC was 4 months old at eApr,i decided ro follow what was written on CiC site as per 6 months validity

MEDICALS was uneventful at childrens practice.

Thank you to everyone of u for making d wait bearable,was always looking forward to the banter here. To the people keeping the thread alive,answering questions daily,it shall never be in vain
Wishing everyone waiting at one point or the other speedy processing.

Done please, thanks so much

Congratulations!!! So happy for you and your family.

Thank you for sharing this amazing story. You have a great sense of humour.

You score 9.3/10

Yes it has indeed ended in praise for you. We wish you the best in Canada.

Hi Upton, please forgive me for this late reply. TBH, these were the conclusions that most of us in the group came to having studied their pattern of issuing PPR in the preceding years. We have never gotten direct answers from them confirming this.

It's OD.

Upton:
Congratulations!!!
@ the bolded, does it mean AVO doesn't attend to PR applications or issue PPR between May and December?

OD, MBBS or PharmD @ professional degree??

Hello fam, it's PPR!!!

VO: Accra, AVO for short!

All the while, my spouse had been the one carrying this Canada matter on his head while I was simply tagging along and as such never bothered to make any detailed research. But things changed in 2017 when I went visiting in the US where I spent a couple of months. To be honest, I never wanted to return back to home, but on the other hand I never wanted to stay back illegally even though most persons there were advising me not to go back to Naija again. So while I was there, I started making some serious research about how to succeed in our Canadian PR journey. I had written IELTS in 2015 to add to my hubby's points for PNP, and to be honest, I just strolled into the exam hall with the mind set of 'no be English again'? Moreso, hubby had just told me that all I need was 'a 5' in all the modules to give him the required points for Nova Scotia's PNP. As a matter of fact we had paid David Cohen some cool cash to handle our application for us. These guys kept our application for two whole years without ever getting a chance to submit it whenever NS opened up their Category B stream. Chai! Infact on one occasion when the stream was open to take in the usual first and fastest 250 applicants, hubby ended up signing into the NS Portal before our so called immigration Consultants, there and then we gave ourselves sense and withdrew our application from them.

Fast forward to September 2017, I came back from my trip armed with all the information needed to launch my attack on EE. I had accidentally discovered that my hubby was a member of a closed group (Express Entry Law) on Facebook and I asked him to add me to the group. I followed every update on the group and all the PPR announcement there kept spurring me and firing me up. The group was created by Mark Holthe, an Immigration Lawyer and has mostly Indians in it and to be honest, they were quite selfless and kind with sharing informations as regards acing IELTS. I got to know about the Cambridge 1-13 practice materials for the first time in the group, and by the time I came back home, I gave hubby the assignment of printing the practice tests (1-13, General and academics) for me and told him that it was only condition on that I would attempt the exam again. Next step, I went in search of a job to in order to add one more year of work experience to my already existing 2years work experience. By November 2017, I had successfully secured an employment to the glory of God.

By February 2018, I commenced studies for IELTS test. My self and hubby booked the test with MOD (Meadow Hall, Lekki) for April 30th and I mapped out the strategy for studying for the exam since my job was a 9-6 one. Thankfully, my workplace was about 15minutes away from home, so immediately I closed from work at 6pm, I would make sure that I got home at exactly 6:20pm, take a shower and be seated on my study table by exactly 6:30pm. I had given an instruction to my Domestic help to ensure my 2yrs old daughter is completely locked in her room with with her before 6:30pm when I would be back home. She (my help) would feed her, bathe her and put her to sleep for the night while I was locked in my room studying till 11pm. The only time I spent with my daughter were only in the mornings when I would get her ready for school. It was so painful to be honest and sometimes I would get emotional about it but i had to find strength and courage from the success stories of those who had scaled through this process. 30th April came, and after my test, I had a mental assessment of my performance and started sensing I may not get the required scores, so I just got home and slept till morning. The results were eventually released and I was right. I had fallen short in listening. There and then, I asked hubby to book me for another test in June and still wrote with MOD but this time on the Lagos Mainland. Writing on the mainland was the worst decision i had made as i eventually learnt from a friend who had written in May that they had to use speakers for their Listening test. She advised i also practice without headphones just to avoid surprises. On the test date, we however got headphones but as the exams were about to commence, there were several technical faults and we were made to start with the reading, writing and then finally listening. I was livid, and I immediately started loosing faith. I eventually, lost concentration during the listening test and knew that I was coming back again for another test. As usual, I got home and went into my melancholic sleep and hubby seeing me in that state knew all didn't go well. That night, I woke up around 1am, and quietly reached out for my phone and booked another test with MOD at Lekki (i had written there before and found the centre to be more organised as opposed to the mainland centre) for July 7th without even waiting for the results and i never bothered mentioning it to my hubby. It was the next day while I was trying to make payment that he knew what was going on and of course my results came in with all 3modules maxed out while I was short of 1point in the listening module again. Thankfully, the next exam as at the time my result was released was just a week away, so i focused my energy on that. Come 7th July, I wrote my final IELTS exam and Knew deep down, that it would certainly be my last. I fact when hubby picked me up, I was all smiles! He offered to take me to go eat out and I didn't object, (for previous attempts I'd say no to those offers and just head home to my melancholic sleep). So he immediately sensed i had done well in the test and by the time the results were released, I had successfully dumped IELTS for good. The feeling was outta this world!

ITA:
Next, I had to patiently wait for my work experience to clock 3years, and while I was waiting, i thought to get some first hand experience from my fellow countrymen since the EE GROUP I belonged to on Facebook was dominated by Indians and that was when i remembered Nairaland. I recall joining the thread in part 5, but quickly went back to flip through part 4 and I couldn't stop reading till date. The thread is truly a goldmine, I just laid low like that US submarine that was in Naija for months undetected I had gotten all the documents I needed to submit post ITA and was just waiting for October to get my complete points for 3yrs work experience and by October 1st 2018, while Naija was celebrating their independence from Britain with nothing to show for it, me and my household were celebrating the extra 25points that CIC gifted me for Independence day anniversary. Truly, it was my own independence day from Niaja! Then 2days after that, there was a draw, and voila, yours truly clinched her ITA and 5 days afterwards precisely on the 8th of October 2018, I turned in my application.

MEDICALS, PCC:
These were done on the same day. For Meds, it was at Children's practice and was quite a seemless process while Inspector Fatai sorted us out with PCC at 3.5k each.

ECA:
Hubby had once tried going the school route, so he had evaluated his results with WES and they were still valid while i had mine evaluated in 2016 for the PNP route he was initially going for. Mine being a Professional study, I got a Canadian equivalence of 6 years of professional study from my evaluation with WES.

POF:
For this, we sold one of our assets, prepared a deed of sale and submitted along side with title deed. The proceeds were paid into my account by the buyer and I highlighted the payment which came with a narration as well while the funds were fixed in a term deposit plus I had given an instruction for funds to be rolled over upon maturity. The rest of the funds came from hubby's dorm account while he wrote a consent letter giving his approval for me to use the funds for this journey. We also included part of his pension funds to act as a buffer in case of exchange fluctuations. Then we prepared a table to show all the funds and of course a screens shot of the day's exchange rate from Xe.com. I had asked question on the thread earlier about moving the fund from my Diamond bank account when I learnt about the merger with Access bank and got meaningful contributions from a lot of selfless individuals here. Infact someone told me moving the funds would mean that I was typing an application by myself asking for application to be sent to Accra. Hian! I had already moved the funds to my GTB account and raised a CSE in December 2018 to notify CIC about that only to get a reply that they had sent my enquiry to the Visa Office (Accra) handling my application. That was how and when I knew my application was in Accra. I later learnt from CIC call centre that my application was transferred to Accra on 29th November 2018 due to workload redistribution.

REFERENCE LETTERS:
I claimed work experiences from 3 different establishments; for internship, NYSC, and my present job. Thankfully, I had a good relationship and reliable contacts in my previous places of work as well as my present place of work, so all I did was to draft my JD and structure the letter in the CIC format, and then sent to them to type on the official letterhead paper. I was paid via bank in all these organizations, so I submitted bank statements showing salary deposits for all three work experiences.

Having learnt that my application was transfered to Accra, I started worrying about what I had done wrong. Infact, because of the earlier response I got from someone on the thread when I asked about moving funds, I nearly almost blamed my dear husband as he was the one that insisted that I move the funds from my Diamond bank to my GTBANK account. Thank God for the CIC agent whom I spoke to and who confirmed the date my file was transferred to Accra (which was way earlier than when I moved my funds) and the reason for the file transfer. I became a PH.d student afterwards on everything Accra VO. I would also like to say that Accra VO brought out the research spirit in my hubby too because all the while, I was just the only one who was digging out alk the info about this process. Hubby only told me to involve him when there were cost implications, didn't like it but couldn't fight him either, lol. He was the one that found the Accra VO whatsapp group and we got added to the group in December.

Life was a lot better in the AVO group as we saw we weren't alone. My information was updated on the group's spreadsheet and whenever I viewed the sheet and saw 2017 AOR still waiting, I would almost want to start crying! The group had different amazing personalities and there were always lots of permutations with different analogies of how Accra process applications. The very popular one being that AVO has a window period from January to March and with this we were hopeful. Fast forward to January and a few persons got ADRS and we all went ballistic, they were eventually followed by PPR mails and our joys knew no bounds. We were all fired up, while we looked forward to the next month hoping to see more applications approved. February came and they were still doing their thing at their pace, while we were still complaining, March came and it seemed like a drought had taken place in AVO as they were issuing more ADRS than PPR. Infact on a certain day, which was a Saturday (9th March 2019) one VO showed up to work and started sharing ADRS o! Sotey someone nicknamed them 'ADR Visa Office'... lol. The rain nor reach my side o, and I was believing God for a straight PPR without ADR. Eventually after two weeks when I didn't see my own share of ADR, I became worried. Different thoughts started crawling into my head. Abi dem no fit verify my previous work experiences? To make matters worse, I tried sending mails to the email addresses on my reference letters from my previous work experiences (trust our shabby so called Federal Government Hospitals) and they all came back with error messages! Ewo!! Ndia emee m ife finally!!! I started begging God for mercy. Then we proactively sent the famous 5 (an acronym the group had created to refer to the five documents that Accra usually requests for in their ADR) and also stylishly asked them for the status of my application on the 20th of March and they responded with their generic reply of "Dear client, be advised that your application is in queue for review". Chai, AVO, Infact eh, all of you that have your application in Ottawa can never understand what it means to be in AVO. This one that Ottawa would take their time to respond to your mails with details of every thing about your application, Accra can never be caught doing that for their applicants, their response never exceeds that one line I dropped above. However, to the glory of God, on the 21st of March, I got the groups 2nd most coveted mail in the form of ADR and I danced around like the golden mail had arrived. Since I had proactively submitted these earlier via CSE thinking it would hasten my application processing, I just fired it back again at them the next day, this time through the place holders provided for the ADRs .

In this month (April ) the group has seen the highest number of PPR'S more than any other month and so while I was anxiously counting down to the 30days deadline before a decision is taken on my application, and at exactly 8th April, the day my application clocked 6months, hubby got a response from one of the Calgary MP's he follws onTwitter and whom he had contacted in March about helping us make enquiries on our application. He sent a consent forms to my hubby asking us to fill it and send it back to him. For me, I was very reluctant because we had contacted Uncle Ralph in February and he told us that eligibility, criminality and security had not started. I reluctantly filled the former and sent back to the MP and in seconds he replied the mail stating that eligibility was 'recommend passed' and added that it meant that they could progress with Criminality and Security checks. All through that night we could not sleep cos we were overjoyed! By 2nd week of April, a lot of October AORS including my AOR mates were being issued PPR yet mine was no where to be seen. Onye ne'eme m ihe a bikonu? My dear hubby, then decided to contact Uncle Ralph again and he
sent us back to oblivion by telling get us for the 2nd time that nothing had been initiated! Village people don finally make sure say they use my application paper take sell corn! I was livid! I talked to a close friend turned sister in the group and she told me to ignore Uncle Ralph's message and that I should rather believe the MP'S own, since he doesn't attend to volumes unlike Ralph who gets to give updates to a lot of people. For my sanity, I had to go with her submission, I stan you Kory. My people, on the 18th of April (The Thursday before Good Friday) at almost 5pm, I logged into my application and saw an update. I had to wipe my eyes again to be sure of what I saw, then I raced on and viewed my application and saw it had moved to IP2. I was happy all by myself and concluded that God would hand me my PPR after the holidays since it was already close of work at AVO. They only decided to give me something to hold on to during the long holidays. I proactively got all docs ready for submission, packaged them over the weekend and handed over to my hubby whose workplace is close to VFS Lekki to take along to work on Tuesday. Men and Brethren, on Tuesday 23rd April at exactly 9am, the sexiest mail on the planet touched my mailbox to the glory of God The Father!, God The Son!! and God The Holy Spirit!!! AVO simply resumed work with my application! I owe it to God to return here with this testimony. Words have totally failed me, that's why I don't mind staying up this late to share with you guys. I have been so busy at work lately and I do not want to keep postponing this goodnews any more. Forgive me for all the typos, for IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISE FOR ME! May it be same for everyone still waiting. Many thanks to everyone who constantly take their time to answer people's questions especially the selfless likes of Newmum0615, Ifeoma77, Joo, Topsmamen, wassynewest, ladymarshall, mcstan, smslive, our own raphrulz of our what's app AOR group who I can call at anytime and be sure to get answers and a whole lot of you too numerous to mention. @Ifeoma77, I'm finally going gong to that place you told me that generators would only exist in museums

N/B: please there are speculations that histories of previous Visa denials is one of the reasons for file transfer to Accra. I and hubby both had Visa denials in the past, and we didn't submit a Schedule A upfront. I was told that I should have done that, but the truth is that there are people who submitted Schedule A forms with their applications and their files still landed in AVO. But then, you don't loose anything by submitting it upfront so you know you've cleared all your doubts.
Fact remains that AVO is a Visa office like every other Visa Office and as such applications would always be sent there to be processed. NOT ALL APPLICATIONS SENT TO AVO ARE COMPLEX.

Apologies for the long post, that was never intentional, I just couldn't stop writing

Hi all. Please I have a little confusion that i'd like get a proper explanation for. We will be landing in Toronto in July and continue afterwards to Ottawa and we intend sending the rest of our belongings by cargo, however the quotes for cargo from Lagos to Ottawa, is quite high when compared to that of Lagos to Toronto. I am considering asking them to send it to Montreal airport as its closer to Ottawa than Toronto and moreso the cost of cargo is same as that of Lagos to Toronto. So my questions are;
(1) considering that I would be completing my landing formalities in Toronto airport and would submit a copy of my goods to follow list there, is it acceptable to send our belongings by cargo to Montreal airport?
(2) can a relative receive them on my behalf while we take on a road trip with our host to go pick them up there?
@Salford @Newmum0615

As a member of the AVO gang, I'd suggest someone else who's next in command after your dad issues and signs your reference letter. While I see nothing wrong with your dad doing that, it may be red flag for a VO, and may then be re-directed to a local VO, in our case Accra. We've seen a case like yours in our group where the reference letter was signed by the applicant's dad and his just been invited for an interview. I know he's coming back with good news by God's grace, but Accra is so snail paced that we all don't like it there. Safe to say that not all applications that land there are complicated but it's also better to err on the side of caution

femez14:
My people i need your contribution ooo, i work with my dad and i have 3 years work experience as operations manager in the company. It is actually an enterprise but it is registered.

What is O.D?

O.D (Doctor Of Optometry) refers to the certificate of study or qualification that an Optometrist earns at the end of the 6 years study. Just as you'd get LLB for Lawyers or MBBS for Medical Doctors.

Doctorfitz:
My self and some colleagues are trying to take the ICES route but this one someone said they didn't evaluate doctor of optometry degree well.

NAwa.

Pls house if any one has something concrete on this issue pls ur inputs would be appreciated.....

cc:ifeoma77

guys stick to WES please. Got my O.D evaluated as an equivalent of a Master's degree. Don't know how ICES evaluates Optometry, so can't speak on that.

Phaytie:
Pls, has any optometrist in the house assessed through IQAS? What is the time frame and requirements, and also for WES

WES would assess your OD as an equivalent of a Masters degree. Dunno about IQAS, but I sense they should all have the same verdict since OPT is a professional course.

yass!!! Bless your heart sis! Massive CONGRATULATIONS darling! cc: @laghopeful

@ ifeoma77, your prophesy has come to pass! I remember you telling the lady with those ITA emotional rollercoaster to "Decline! Decline!! Decline!!!" her ITA again and I silently said a prayer for her. I can't remember her moniker but I am super elated for her today!

Please do. Looking forward to hearing from you[/quote]

Please my people, I haven't gotten any good sleep since I heard about this Diamond Bank take over rumour by Access bank cos my POF is chilling in FD there (90days tenor) since Sept 2018. Rolled it over for another 90days on 14th Nov and raised a CSE and uploaded the new investment letter but since that day na vigil we dey for my house o. Hubby thinks I should move it to my GTB account and raise another CSE. I honestly have tried to prevail on him that the Diamond Bank rumour may not take immediate effect but him being a Banker, is not having any of those. Pls all the stakeholders (cos I know say una plenty for here) you all should help point me in the right direction. I'm worried this may be attracting extra scrutiny on my app since i'v raised 2 CSEs and would deffinitely be raising the 3rd one when i eventually book the FD in GTB. Infact the FD has been liquidated in DB today and moved to my GTB account, had already left work this afternoon to a branch close by to get it re-invested when an overzealous staff at CS got me pissed with her disgusting rude behaviour and I walked off on her without re-investing. Back here in my office, I'm here wondering if it's a sign from God that I should jejely leave my money where it was biko after all DB gave a much better rate than the so called GTB?

Thank you so much for this detailed response. I truly appreciate it.

TEECANN:
Yes, for renewal, your existing passport has to be less than 6 months valid before the Nigerian passport office of the Immigration Service can approve issuance of a renewed passport to you. Visit www.immigration.gov.ng for more information.

Meanwhile, you can submit your PR application with your existing passport whilst waiting for the new one to come out(I'm sure the renewed passport should be out before your PR application gets approved),when you receive the new passport, then raise a Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) webform (search for the webform on www.canada.ca) to update CIC on the new passport and you"ll just be fine.


It will end in praise IJN!

Oh, thanks so much... God bless you for this clarification. I would look out for your pm. Amen to your prayers too.

drcynthia:
would pm u.....it is about writing a letter to the PCO stating Ur case and attaching a document.... alternatively get the process for renewal started online, pay online and register ...so once it's Dec/when and if u get ADR..u can apply and do express.

In all...i don't think they won't even stamp a passport with less that 6months validity. So just prepare for the inevitable....I wish u a speedy and hitch free ppr

Such a great testimony! It can only be God!!! People request for an upgrade from 6.5 to 7 and results come out unchanged and here you are having a stunning upgrade from 6 to 7! Hearty congrats to you and yours, sure his soon to be released result would be an icing on the cake eventually!

IELTS Testimony!
IELTS test date was 13th October BC
Results ready by 26th Oct -LRSW: 8.5 7 7.5 6
I was so sad especially because I fell ill about a month before the test so my practice reduced and the last week was meant to focus on writing. I was out of work for about a week and just resumed that week still not in the best of health and was required to rest, butI listened to tips from Liz and Jay, but could not practice, I read some books on writing as well.
So I decided to go for a remark and asked God for mercy and speed, willing to stick to my faith on this....
EOR form was filled and submitted on the 30th October
Received an email on the 7th that my EOR has been sent to the EOR Team on the 6th Nov and should expect feedback in 2-4 weeks from that date
Received an email 16th Nov that result is ready,
Writing was upgraded from 6 to 7!
Praise the Lord for me please, my joy knows no bounds!
Note that there was no change online,someone asked a few days back if it meant there was no upgrade, please pick up your new TRF to know your score, no assumptions, I nearly got scared when I read a certain response saying most likely not.
I am really grateful to God

please any ideas how long withheld results are released with BC? Hubby’s results for today were withheld for review as I wanted to pick my EOR and his TRF, don’t know why it’s withheld..

Hi @TEECANN, pls I think I may need same favor from you, but the only difference here is that mine is not due to a change of name. Can I send you a pm for same details? Plus I also need clarification on when exactly (December or January ) I should start processing a new passport if the old one is expiring in June 2019. The officer I spoke to is insisting it has to be in January

TEECANN:
I do but they have sent the guy on course to Kuru.

But I believe I can share with you another person that helped my wife's friend to do hers. PM me.


It will end in praise IJN!

Wow... bless your heart for this. My application just reverted to 1P1 yesterday after being on default 1P2 since AOR 8th OCT. Been waiting to start the passport waka next month but at the same time believing God for an early PPR in December too But if yours was expiring in May and you were asked for a new one in November, then for mine which is June, hmmmm... I'd go try my luck with the renewal thing asap. hearty congrats once more, and thanks for the timely response too. Meanwhile, I just got off the phone with an immigration Officer who's saying I can't initiate the process of getting a new passport till January as that is what the Law stipulates. All my efforts to persuade him for me to start by next month proved abortive. Have you got any contact that can turn things around for me or do I just wait it out till January and pray I don't get an ADR for that?

drcynthia:
The old one was going to expire in MAY. I made a new one that same day o. I just went with the ADR letter and pleased with the immigration people.....it was just the Grace of God, cos I didn't expect to get it the same day.

U are right about the 6 months validity before renewing....for u that urs is expiring in June, u can renew from Dec.

PS. A friend said I would have done the passport earlier in Nov and sent it to them before they asked....what do I know....lol....Na God hand I dey.

Hi dear, please I directed a question to you a while ago, kindly give give a feedback when you can.

drcynthia:
thank you so much....ore mi! How's ur family?

cutieplum:
Congrats Dr Cynthia! Please about the ADR you got, what was the validity period of your passport before expiration? Plus it seems you were very proactive and had gotten new passport already before they asked for it. I am an OCT8 AOR and I wish to start processing a new passport by January as my passport would be expiring in June 2019. I was told I can't renew it till its about 6 months to expiration.

FaskRolce:
wow! so happy for you. go and prosper.

Thanks dear. Yes, it's the useless estimated billing system and they also claim it's about the area we live in. It really sucks cos they have deliberately refused to get us pre-paid metres. You pay about same too? Thank God you've been liberated, from this, I wish you all the very best in your new home.

stonecoldcafe:
Nor be small thing oh! I pay around your figure myself. Poster must either be using estimated billing system or its the area she resides.
In anycase, @cutieplum, we rejoice with your testimony. Your PPR testimony is closer than you think. Hang in there
