My Super Story

I never thought of relocating outta of the country. This was not because I was balling or enjoying the country but we just believe say Naija go dey alright las las. In August 2017, things changed when a sweet neighbour, turned spouse, opened my eyes and heart to it. She insisted she wants a life out of this country and if I want to be with her, I have to pursue this dream. See condition….Lol. As a result, I got my international passport, applied for US b1/b2 Visa and got it. Canada never crossed our minds. I wanted to jaapaa using the US visa and later bring her over. Aborted that mission after I came across this thread.
I came across this thread at PART 3. Read and read the whole thread before joining officially in July 2018 at PART 4.

IELTS

I gave my timeline in part 4 but let me summarize below:
1st attempt: 8.5,8.5,6.5,7.0 (LRWS) BC - Requested for EOR but no luck
2nd attempt: 8.5,8.5,6.5,7.0 (LRWS) MOD - Requested for EOR but no luck with writing but speaking upgraded to 7.5
3rd attempt: 8.5,8.0,6.5,7.5 (LRWS) MOD - Requested for EOR again but this time, God came through for me and I got an upgrade to 7 in writing.
I made use of LIZ paid version videos, Jay and ieltsadvantage to prepare for the test.

ECA

This is another roller-coaster process. I registered with WES since January 2018. All thanks to NASU strike at the time. I claimed points for two certificates from University of Ado Ekiti (B.Sc) and Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (ND).
For my ND, sending transcript was kinda easy but the verification part was killing. I had to upgrade my package with WES to premium so that I can track the verification mail couriered to the school. While tracking that, we got the guy in-charge of registrar email, he complained no internet to even check if they received the verification request from WES via email. They are used to responding to WES through courier. I sent some money for data and voila, the verification email was sitting there. They responded via email for me, even before the courier from WES arrived.
After I got my ECA report in July 2018, I observed a note was made on the report about a different DOB captured from my ND transcript. This was really disturbing because the observed DOB, if used will increase my age by 3 years. Yepaaa!!! I tried to correct this with the school but all effort to no avail. After so much effort, I talked to Newmum0615 and some other seniors in the house and they advised I go ahead but with an LOE. I did as advised at the end of the day but submitted alongside these documents; birth certificate, sworn affidavit for correction of DOB on ND Transcript, Attestation of birth from NPC, National Drivers Licence, and tax clearance certificate card and its details.

MEDICAL & PCC

Medical was with Qlife 27th October 2018. Booked the date after ITA. Never had high BP before but on the day, it was really bad. The more the lady tried, the worse the result. She finally recorded the first and the best of the 3 attempts.
Inspector Moshood came to the rescue for the PCC (8k) for both of us.

REFERENCE LETTER

I have only worked for one employer since graduation. When I see some JDs here with 15-20 duties, I got scared because mine had only 5. Anyways no issue at last.

PROOF OF FUND

This was gangster! We used 85% gift deed from my uncle and the balance from spouse. She transferred the dough to my account, therefore no need for consent letter. Drafted a gift deed for my uncle to sign and notarized it at Magistrate court in Sabo, Yaba. Move the fund into a new account and invest in 6 months FD. Uploaded 1-month statement of my account showing the inflow from my uncle and spouse as well as the outflow to the new account. Of course, the FD letter from the bank was also uploaded. No bank reference letter and no bank statement from the new bank.

Initially, I wanted to apply as married but spouse non-accompanying because of the CRS draw during that period and go through spousal sponsorship route later. Took madam to the registry to do the needful and book an ielts test date for her, when we discovered we can actually get up to 445 with good test result from her. Did I mention that she had 4 UK visa rejections and 1 US visa rejection? An agent ‘joined’ her with a guy and claimed they were married in their applications. This was disclosed in our application. We claimed she had a common law relationship with the guy, and that ended before we met.

Entered the express entry pool with 443 on 12th October 2018 and got ITA 15th October 2018. After we got the job mail, I called IRCC and the agent said, our file is in CIO with some info about Eligibility and all. I was worried about the age stuff and as a result I kept disturbing them for status. After new year break, I called again and the agent confirmed file transferred to Accra VO on the 14th December 2018. What? ACCRA? Waited till 23/1/2019 to order gcms note as fear no allow me rest. We got the note 30 days later with nothing as started but no issue raised by the case processing officer apart for RR(Review Required) for statutory questions (for spouse visa refusals).

I joined other fellow AVOrians. Those guys can give courage to the dead to stay alive. I know people have mentioned how we gather to pray and praise God. At first, some people got ADR for famous 5 (Updated POF, Bank Statement showing salary payments, payslips, Schedule A and Family Background information). We got ours that exceptional Saturday March 9th 2019 and submitted 13th March 2019. For the year of assessment, I submitted 1 year info i.e payslip and bank statement from the date of the ADR. After 2 weeks, I emailed Uncle Ralph but he responded that nothing has started. At the start of April AVO vexed with rain of PPR and we were hoping to get ours.

April 12th 2019 will moved to ip2. Then I know it’s close. But my too inquisitive being mailed Uncle Ralph again. Na so baba say make I try again in June 2019 if no response from CIC. I just gave up.

April 16th 2019, I got donotreply email from CIC, to check my account. When I saw another request letter, sincerely I thought it was another ADR. Infact when I opened it, I scrolled down quickly to see what they were asking for. To my greatest surprise, it was PPR.

I’m sorry for posting this late but I couldn’t announce my PPR at the same time with the only IRCC consultant, as we call him on November WhatsApp group, Joo2018. He got PPR the same day and the whole NL went agog. I just sempe for one side.

This is the time to appreciate everyone in here but most importantly @newmum0615, we exchanged over 30 emails, Ramj, Joo2018 etc. To my November AOR WhatsApp group, you people are too much. We are changing the group name soon to “November Applicants turned Canadians”. I wish everyone success at every stage of the process and pray that Canada favours us, more than expected. Peace out!!!

You can do that of the month the gift was credited to your account. I guess this will only fly if you're using 100% gift deed.

Dekembabe:
Pls how many month bank statement should I print if I’m submitting gift deed? Does it still have to be 6months ?

Eyin Ottawa gang. How's your application going? I pray it ends well for us all with resounding PPR. About ifeoma77, she's busy minding her business.

joo2018:

@bababode825, the maturity of your response is astounding!

@barryston, you are man enough to apologize!

Let's all note that there are 2 sides to a story and that there's a limit to what each person can contribute.

Now where is my @ifeoma77 and @ontarioissuaga. This thread feels lonely these days.

1. You will get to fill in your dependant info during your e-APR i.e after you secure ITA.

2. I guess you can use the US passport for the application itself but for medical, can't say. Others can weigh in.

cutiep:
Dear all, please I need clarification.

1) On the Express entry from, there's no place to fill in the details of my daughter as a dependant. The only dependant option/ information required is for my husband. Is this normal?

2) Please advise on the passport to submit (for medicals etc) for my daughter. She currently has a US passport. Can we use this or do we have to apply for a Nigerian passport for her.

Thank you

Then he should be ready for a lot of 3.0/10.

Ifeoma77:

Have you watched 27 dresses?
Everyone he ever graded will come and grade his own script.

Merry Xmas to everyone. But wait o.... who's going to score Prof's PPR script when is out.

raphrulz:
Merry christmas to the entire Cannyland community!!

I look forward to marking your PPR scripts and meeting y'all in Canada!

God bless and Happy holidays!

I hope I'm not a latecomer. So much stew of PPR and ITA stories here. Congratulations to y'all. To everyone waiting for IELTS, positive FOR, ITA and almighty PPR (including myself), we will definitely shout hallelujah for what God will do for us. It will end in praise.

So much good souls in here. I salute all of una.

I'll not carry last to congratulate you @skywalk12. It was tough and rough but God came through for you. Go ye and prosper!

Congratulations to TEECAN and DBjay.

True. A colleague got the same mail after biometrics was done but getting through to an agent yesterday, she confirmed his file is still at CIO and his background check is ongoing. The annoying thing is on his status, it's showing background check has not commenced. Imagine file at CIO for almost 4 months now. It will end well for all of us.

Tojued:


Not necessarily. I know someone who got the mail when their file was transferred to Ottawa.
