TIMELINE
IELTS for hubby and I Oct 28,2017
Hubby's ECA May 2018
ECA(Mine)Dec 2018
ITA Dec 12 2018(445)
Aor Feb 12,2019
Family Size 5
Mep/Bill 20 March 2019
Vo-Ottawa
PPR June 7,2019(121 days)
PCC Inspector Moshood(10k for both of us)
Woke up this morning and realised that our status message was updated and I asked hubby to check his mail.Lo and behold it was PPR.
ECA
The most challenging part was ECA.we started hubby's ECA in October 2017 and then Unilag went on strike by the time the strike was called off in 2018 ,his birthday had passed by 2 weeks and we had to drop from 442 to 437.ITA was dancing around 440 so we had to wait.
In July I decided to do my ECA and it took like forever cos at a point they started looking for my file in school.Anyways I was through with ECA in Dec.Our score increased again from 437 to 445 after I got EcA.Hubby and I both used WES.I don't have any problem with Wes but with Nigerian schools that delay.
PCC
Was done at Alagbon.Inspector Moshood to the Rescue for 10k for the both of us.
POF
We used 80 percent treasury bills and 20 percent pension funds.
I thank God seriously for this dream come true.
Whatever stage you are in never give up.For some IELTS,another POF,another ECA or something else.Just keep pushing until you get PPR.���

It's PPR guys!!!!!!!���������������
Praise The Lord!!!!
So I have been a silent reader on this forum and started from part 5 just after my AOR and followed religiously till the wait became too long and I didn't want to feel overwhelmed with other getting PPR and mine taking so long but in part 7 I read occasionally and said this is where I would testify and to God be the glory I'm here. I'll start with my decision to apply which was in May 2018 and went head on to reading for my IELTS and read and passed once ( to the glory of God) using only three website my score was
Reading 8.0
Writing 7.0
Listening 8.5
Speaking 8.0
As I was in the process of IELTS I applied for my WES and that was slightly smooth as I had to pay for tracking as nipost only prioritize mail with tracking so I eventually got it. The same happened for my PCC from the uk but I got it in no time
My time line
AOR -Sept 17 2018
Medicals/15 Oct

I claim it prof IJN.I was only congratulating someone who just got PPR.Aor is Feb so mine is still on the way.


quote author=raphrulz post=76878706]Wow!!!

Congratulations.... This is awesome news... and i'm overly excited to read this.... Thank you for sharing.

However, this your PPR script needs heavy deliverance ooo and baptism.

Ahn ahn... just from the few information you shared, I suspect that you would have had some serious ups and downs. Plus you now shared your PPR script late undecided undecided

Well... I'll rate this script 4/10 oooo... we expect more oo. In your thesis report (Landing gist) make sure you make up for it oo cheesy cheesy

Wish you the best in your future endeavours.

Go and prosper in Cannyland.

God bless!

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!!!!!


ISSA GOLDEN MAIL THINGS!!!

Here is my “brief story”… read at your own risk:


I have always believed that someday I would relocate fully out of Nigeria… whether it was for studies or something.. I just knew that my place was not this Naija. This was some years back.
Well, in 2011… when I was writing my ICAN, I had made friends with a couple of colleagues (also writing) the exam with me. One of them gave me some hints that he really wanted to leave Naija soon.. but never told me how. I also never bothered to ask.
I lost his contact, but got it back in 2014, only for me to see the kind of “abroad” pictures he was posting. I was like, “hope you are enjoying your vacation ooo” and he was like… “ Nooo.. this is not a vacation! I live here”
O boy!! That was how my ear/antennae just stood up ooo… I started interrogating him like an FBI agent… I asked him about the immigration process and how he went about it. He simply just sent me a link to read up on…. And that was the end. I was demotivated even before reading it properly. That was how I gave up on the idea.
In 2016, I stumbled on Australian immigration information and followed it gracefully. I gathered all the necessary information I needed and saved on my system. Good thing is that, I have never been that person to embark on a journey without thoroughly researching and asking myself very tough questions. I was so ready to embark on it… but did not have the funds. Well, the issue was not even the funds per se, but the fact that when I informed my parents about it, they totally kicked against it. Their argument was that, Aussie was too far and it would make me forget Naija. My relatives also added to this perspective, with examples of my distant cousins that had gone to in it as I was not failing any questions on maps anymore. Unfortunately, maps did not come out in the first exam.
When the result came out that morning, I was not happy with myself, but I told myself that I would channel all that efforts to scheduling for another exam. I was reading negaC. I thought that this would motivate me to read ooo… but boy!! My work wouldn’t allow me. There was absolutely no time at all. The night before the exam, I just skimmed through some lines and slept off… went for the exam the next day… and the rest, they say, is history!

Educational Credential Assessment
I used the conventional WES for my ECA… and it was a smooth ride. Luckily for me, they were not requesting for WAEC then.
So I reached out to my school to send my transcript (which took just between 14 – 21 working days) and to ACCA which took 14 working days. Also, note that I commenced the ECA transcript transmission alongside my preparation for IELTS. I also sent my B.Sc. and ACCA membership certificates to WES via Hellofax.
My WES report came out on 19 June 2018 with a summary of “2 or more degrees”. This was a complete breeze. In fact, I didn’t have to reach out to them for any information or complaints.

ITA
As at 20th July, 2018… I had my IELTS result and ECA ready… but did not dive into the pool because of my funds were not completely in the state I wanted it. I had to wait for some more funds before diving. I had a score of 468, so I was certain that I would get ITA once I dived. So I made up my mind to patiently wait till I was ready.
I had timed September 5 as my chosen ITA date… so I entered the pool on September 1. I got ITA and was so excited. It felt so surreal. Immediately, I swung to action and started to follow up with all necessary documentation.

Post ITA
i. PCC
This was a breeze. In fact, I had gotten a contact from my friend that told me about the EE process, I called the person a day before I went there. I took a one-hour break during my lunch time at work, went to their office asking of the Police officer I spoke to a day earlier. That was when I realized the guy had retired. However, the person he told me to ask of, happened to be his successor. The finger prints were taken, all the necessary things were done, price was negotiated to my desired 5k, then I picked up my completed PCC and headed back to work. I was happy!
I scanned the pink copy along with the finger printed copy and merged both together using my Adobe Acrobat. I attached the document to the PCC place holder

ii. Passport photograph
This was snapped a day before I did the PCC at LUTH. I also got the contact from my friend. I ensured to take both soft and hard copy of the pictures before leaving the place. I ensured that the pictures were well measured in my presence in line with CIC requirements. The guy was experienced on CIC requirements, so it was hassle free exercise. The price was also very reasonable.
I attached the soft copy version to the placeholder in my EE profile.

iii. Educational Certificates
As usual, I merged my University B.Sc Certificate with my ACCA membership certificate, ECA report and IELTS report using Adobe Acrobat. I attached the merged documents to the relevant placeholder in my App. I used Nigeria as the ACCA location, as this was where I wrote the exam.

iv. International Passport and travel documents
This was also scanned and attached to the relevant placeholder.

V. Medical Assessment
This was where I faced my second challenge through the EE process. I attempted to go through the normal route like everyone. Called IOM, Children’s Practice and Q-life to book… Lo and behold, the prices of IOM and Children’s practices were ridiculously high, so I took them completely off my list. Unfortunately, Qlife that was fairly priced, was booked till about October 20 something. I knew that I couldn’t wait till then, so I had to device a quick alternative. Then the idea of gate crashing came to my mind.
The next day, I left my house very early, arrived there before 7 am and wrote my name down. I thought it was that automatic. Well, after such a long wait till about 8:30, the tests commenced. However, before they commenced, they separated those that had booked from those that had not, just like me… I was disheartened. They told us to go to the reception to book our test dates. Upon arriving there, the recep
