We oftentimes have amnesia as it relates to Gods faithfulness and how he has helped even with things that seem so little and insignificant. I write this to hopefully encourage whoever reads to firstly trust God that although you may not be where exactly you want to be, trust God and he would comfort you and help you.
I had my soft landing with my family in December 2019, In the 4 week period, God blessed us with good people, quality accommodation fully furnished, and my full drivers license one-time. My family was settled so I went back to Nigeria to prepare, for my hard landing. I gave myself 3 months to prepare (work my notice period and liquidate assets in Nigeria).
God was so kind; a friend took over my apartment alongside everything I wanted to dispose off (saving me from the stress of selling items in piecemeal) paid the rent, bought my car and paid upfront and moved in with me. Then Covid-19 hit, and the airports were locked… confusion erupted! Nonetheless, God was still kind. My former place of work extended my notice to cover whenever I was able to leave the country and also my friend accommodated me in my former apartment at no cost to me.
Towards the end of June 2020, I got an evacuation flight at a miraculous price and returned on my hard-landing as we call it here. The first couple of days in self-isolation were very restful. I slept ate watched tv and continued sleeping. By the end of the 1st week I became bored and I decided to start applying for jobs. When I got my first rejection email, it hit me hard and all of a sudden confusion erupted again as I began to question my decision to leave Nigeria. The novelty of being close to my wife and kids soon faded. I tried to pray but nothing was coming out. Later that day, I came across an old friend’s testimony on his wife’s Instagram page #healo’clock. He was speaking about faith in the fire and how he turned to worshiped whenever he found himself in a dark place. There and then I began to worship, and the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance Gods promises to me that He had prepared and is bringing me into a beautiful future.
Looking for a job is a job in itself, editing one’s CV and to reflect the JD of each job advert is no easy task. In my entire career, all the jobs I have held were either through referrals or headhunting, I have never really had to apply so looking for a job was new terrain. I did not want to live on our savings so I discussed with my wife, exploring the possibility to purchase a vehicle and drive on a ride-hailing service at least until I got a Job. We prayed and agreed but the Master Planner was working in the background. Later that day, my land lady called to ask if I had a driver’s license and mentioned that she knows I would need a car to move around, advising me not to purchase a car yet until things stabilized and there is a genuine need. She handed me car keys to one of her cars for my use (this is a 2018 car, and it is 8 months and counting, I am still using the car not having to pay for insurance just fuel)
On the 10th of July 2020, I got a random email from a lady I networked with during my soft landing (She is an immigrant herself from Iran and she advised on getting a survival job that may not necessarily be in line with your career path, so one is able to earn and spend without diminishing ones savings) asking if I was still searching and if I was interested in a work from home sales opportunity. I answered yes and to cut the long story short, I got a job offer on the 24th of July to start on the 1st of August.
I had not done sales in the past; it was new terrain. I remember during the orientation training after a poor presentation I was so sad/frustrated, thinking to myself “me that was an Oga in Lagos and subject matter expert in my field now selling and imploring people to buy items I don’t even believe they need”.
I started the job and was doing enough to get by and applying for other opportunities (come and see rejection email… brekete) I developed thick skin and could not even be bothered to read the rejection email or give myself totally into applying to other opportunities. In September and October, I was on Performance Improvement Plan and if no improvement by the 3rd month (November) I would be out of work. My prayer point changed, in addition to landing the international job, I began to ask God to help me do the one that my hands found to do with all my might as Ecclesiastes told us. To cut the long tori short, In Dec 2020 I was ranked #2 out of over 340 salespeople in the Company, in Jan 2021 I was #1 and now in Feb MTD I am ranked #1 and the sales commission is going a long way. I cannot say I am special or better than others but all I can say is Na Baba GOD do am!
Today, I got a rejection email from an application I made to an international company, it pained me because I had 2 panel interviews, a full-day assessment center and final interview with the CEO. Initially, I was sad, but I refuse to have amnesia. I remember Gods promises and how He has helped and blessed me in the past and I have hope in the truth that He will bless and help me again. My story has encouraged me and I hope it will encourage someone else that although this journey not appear to be easy nonetheless God is omnipresent and he is still in the background working things out for your good.
I cannot wait to come back to tell you that God has done it!

I have always wondered what type of illness would prevent one from passing medicals. Any idea?

nymphomaniac:
how many have branch In Canada? How many be willing to help their employee get a better life in Canada. Let’s be using our head abeg. Highly unlikely!

ednut1:
you minding him and some youtubers who like selling hope. Extremely hard to get a job offer from outside. The process is long and costly, there are pr and citizens without jobs too. They have to prove those guys can't do the job.

DavidHume:
What method did you use lemme check their present rate pls

DavidHume:
Pls What me means of payment did you use that gave you this rate i am interested as i am
Still in the league of those finding the best means to pay.

mobenjackson:
@dyduds.... evidence of my transactions using the barter/flutterwave $$$ card... as you can see the screenshot was made few mins ago... i would be happy to help if you have any questions.

Ultimus:
I don’t think there was anytime in November when 450k would have covered the dollar amount required to pay for 1410 CAD (assuming you are a single applicant).

I used Barter in November, I have friends that have used it to pay in December as well. Please don’t discourage people from having a valid option that works. We all can’t get Canadian credit cards.

MissMa01:
No one said using Barter will be at official rate. They work with parallel and cross charge to CAD but saying it won’t work on CIC is false.
You should actually retract your statement than mislead people .

Say things as they are rather than post false information.

mobenjackson:
What sort of terrible advice is this?? I used barter/flutterwave for my payment. I also helped 2 persons in paying their fee just over the weekend...They have a card that carters for such payment... Can we be super sure of info b4 dishing them out? No money will be lost... Infact i get AoR/CoAT even b4 the funds are deducted from my barter card... Let's be guided.

parbz:
Please who can help me with the application and other fees payment this evening? All transactions have been declining since morning. E jo oooo

My first IELTS results
Listening 7.5
Speaking 7.5
Writing 7
Reading 7
Should I rewrite the IELTS or request for a remark for listening?

Francieuche:
Done that still nothing

DFreeze:
Your manner of response shows your type of personality, the one who assumes the worst. In order words, the paranoid set of people.
Your first response was like a passage which a simple one line statement asking for clarifications could have prevented or better even keeping mum. Well, someone actually answered my inquiry politely with a simple statement of not more than 12 words.

In other words, you need to learn how to connect to people and understand what the term "politeness" means. Apparently, you lack both.

AsaPica:
Dear All,

Please I want to start the PR process to Canada, but I don’t know my left from right and I genuinely need help.

TemTon:
Hi,

Please I just observed there is a spelling error in my name in my employment reference. Is this a problem? Can I still use the letter regardless.

Thank you.

Quick Question: about Job Reference Letter

I held two roles in my company; as an Accountant (Past role) and as a Finance Manager (Current Role) - Both combination= 3+ yrs

Option A: while filling my EE profile should I separate both roles (signifying the start and end date for both roles) or
If you are sure the two roles fall into the same NOC without need to embellish and be panicking, yes I'll say get the two reference letters.

Option B: should I just use the current role, and let my Reference Letter reflect the difference in roles.
If you think the NOCs are contestable, please just use one Reference letter reading your current role for the past 3 years.

Knowing that this is just one work experience declaration, and there will only be one placeholder per work experience declaration.

YesLadyN:
Hi everyone,

Can one book for medicals in expectation of ITA (that’s book a date that’s projected to be post ITA)? Has anyone done this and succeeded?

I’d appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Oct 27, MEP 3rd dec
But no BIL yet

ednut1:
you are wrong here. It is clearly stated in the ITA letter that you can make changes as you please as long as your scores dont go below the CRS draw for that date. So no issues here as her masters already gives her maximum points. The bsc is of no use whether evaluated or not. Cc obinnaonyeka

obinnaonyeka:
Goodday house, If pre-ita i stated 1 bsc and two masters but only evaluated the two masters with WES but not the bsc, after ita, is it okay to remove the bsc from the study section and state it in personal history or i just upload the two evaluated masters and bsc and explain in LOE.

kiari:
You’re a little nervous? Ogaaaa you better brace yourself.
Don’t worry you will get MEP/BIL soon.

Ikepooni:
You might want to calm down. You said it’s just been a month is it. My AOR is Oct15 got my BIP/MEP NOV 26. That’s about one month and 2 weeks. You could use that as a yardstick. What’s your AOR btw

MissMa01:
Let me start drafting my PPR story.

Val’s day breaking news loading !!!!
