Optometry is a professional degree according to IRCC.

You are right!

Going to amend my initial post.

Hi everyone,

May this week rain with many more exciting testimonies interesting to see quite a bit of activity over the weekend. Congrats to all PPR clinchers many more will be released from the pipeline in Jesus name. I need to make an inquiry for a friend I have searched through the thread but can't seem to find so much information on optometry. Does anyone know which body can evaluate the optometry degree and what equivalent they are likely to get.

Will appreciate your response.

Cheers

I don't think there is any special body for evaluating optometry degrees (unlike medical and pharmacy degrees), so your friend is free to use WES, IQAS, CES, etc.

Wonderful news to start the day with Congratulations!!

WhizzyG:
I've got a question please fam.

Yours Ielts and ECA are 2 separate independent processes. In fact, most people start ECA first because of how long it takes to complete. Please start your ECA process now.

The Journey started in 2016. I was denied study permit twice, spousal open work permit twice and visitation visa once (5 denial in all).
It was a frustrating period but all thanks God.

I know right? the happiness was almost how I felt when I got PPR mail, lol

AyeMayBe:
Hmm...

It's like I've just entered IP2 o (AOR March 26th). LOL. My chest did "gbish" when I saw the update ... I'm expectant.

PPR loading

ademolait:
We recently got PPR yesterday and I felt I should write out our journey. This might inspire someone.

Everything just went smooth. I hope this will inspire a friend here. Stay blessed.

God makes everything beautiful in his own time Congratulations!

Hello All,

Sorry for this long post. I am willing to check any post with this info so directions are welcome

I recently got ITA and I am on the brink of uploading my documents but I am getting different feedback which I know this platform will clarify.

I have attached a screen shot of the documents I need to submote but I will appreciate if someone could clarify.

1. When it says upload passport bio data page with pages with stamps, some say upload all you passport pages. Which is which cos I do not want wahala o Don't upload all pages as the blank pages are irrelevant and an inattentive vo may miss the important pages. Upload only the data pages and pages with stamps.

2. When it says police certificate, should I just upload the pink certificate or all the sheets(including the sheet with my thumbprint)? Upload all pages/sheets

3. For Marriage certificate, should I also add pictures cos some people say I should...Which way biko? No need for pictures, lol.

4. For education, some say add wes, ielts, university certificates, transcripts. Please clarify You are not expected to even have copies of your transcripts... Upload only ECA, Ielts, Uni. certs

5. For employment records, some say I should add payslips, employment letter, reference letter...Please clarify The more the merrier. If you have those documents, add them, if not get your reference letter in CIC format and submit

6. For proof of funds, some say I should add all my bank statements (either money dey or not)...Please assist Depends. Is it your salary account, is that were your pof is?

The reason I need directions is because; the requirements are clear but some say you should add as much info as possible to clear the immigration officers doubts. Please help o. This is a critical stage o.

Thanks

After the ebola scare, one can't even enjoy bushmeat in Nigeria sef

Zeiya:


You never submit passports since, abeg no waste time

Oga's passport is hanging in one Embassy like that hoping to get it back soon

All caught up on the thread

Big thanks to all those who regularly answer questions and post inspiring pictures, you guys are the real mvps

Almost all my questions have been answered, in fact if I had been a little bit patient I wouldn't have needed to make the post about landing close to delivery because I later saw posts from other people. Big thanks to you all. Now let me go and submit these passports and get copr

Its another PPR rain

Congratulations @sistaj @udomoleinad @uzoreen

prideandjoy:
I was 33 weeks when I landed 2 weeks ago
1. There is no straight flight to Canada, you can always walk around the aircraft to stretch your feet and then when you connect cities. 

2. There are walk-in clinics which give you requistions for tests and referrals to ob/gyn once you get your Alberta health card .

3. That is sufficient and for information purposes only, they'll still redo theirs.

4. It actually depends on you, if you like labels buying here is better but note that you shouldn't buy so much clothes because of seasonal changes. Buying winter clothes here is definitely better . I didnt shop from Nigeria for my baby, I bought and still buying my stuffs here.

All the best

Thanks a lot

Newmum0615:
This one got me "But at heart I didn’t want TTC to pay, I would have preferred IRCC or CIC to pay" Why evils?

As in The guy had personal beef with CIC as if they forced him to come

Osaze007:


Do I have to do that ? I will just post my passport to Abu Dhabi na

It will be cheaper for you to go to vfs in Lagos, than posting all the way to Abu Dhabi. Anyway, its just a suggestion, choice is yours really and I don't think either one will affect your application in anyway.

Osaze007:


True at times you have to go low I’m leaving for Nigeria next week sha Na to hide for my house for lagos

Have a safe trip but why hide? Abi you don't want to flex and finish your pof

Just ensure you notify CIC of the change in your location, so when they send your ppr mail, it will contain instructions for Accra VO and not Abu Dhabi VO

Sthill5:


He made some bad choices.
Financial discipline is very important, immigrant or not.

I'm glad he got a job eventually

True. He also sounded very arrogant and wasn't willing to stoop to conquer. Glad he learned his lessons on time.

Osaze007:


Lool @ superstar
I think it’s just the conditions I find myself in
Other than that I would have been a lot calm

I understand. But think about it this way, maybe if you had been too comfortable in that job, you wouldn't have been pushed to apply for Canadian PR Now you are leaving there for something better and permanent

luffyhaki:


I dey feel your compassion..Your first post on this thread just to calm Osaze

Osaze is a superstar His anxiety over this process is legendary, in fact we will all heave a huge sigh of relief when he gets ppr

Bella002:
Silent Reader

Just to encourage someone here today. It was not an easy journey. But I thank God for providing and giving me the strength to push.
I am proud I did it for my Kids

8th Attempt - LRWS - 8.5, 8.0 7.0,7.0

For those taking out time to answer our questions , God bless u all.

wow wow wow! Just imagining the time, costs and emotional rollercoaster you went through Your labor will never be in vain, amen.

vcole:
hello. I had a baby 7 weeks after landing. What would you like to know?

Congratulations Although I'm still waiting to receive COPR, I've started getting stuff ready since I intend to do a short landing in October, God willing. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but for now;

1. How comfortable was the trip? did you have a straight flight or is it better to take a connecting one so I can rest and stretch my feet between flights?

2. Thinking of landing in Alberta, how easy or stressful was it getting a doctors appointment and Obgyn in such a short period?

3. Are there any particular documents the Obgyn requested for to make the process easier? (I already intend to take all lab and scan results with me)

4. Costs; I've already done some baby shopping seeing as its just a short landing, is it more economical to take the baby stuff I have with me or is it cheaper to just buy there? I'm not very particular about our local food so I don't need to use more than 40% of my baggage allowance for foodstuff.

Thanks a lot

Phew! Its been a while! Congrats to all PPR and ITA recipients , as 1 journey ends, another begins.

Blackbuddy:


Hi, this will not be an issue. All the best with the rest of the application processing.

Thank you all, she sends her thanks @luffyhaki @fortissimo502

Hopefully they face their work and stamp the visa straight

Hi everyone, I'm asking on behalf of a friend (silent reader) who just got ppr mail yesterday. The head of department for her previous company (the one she used her work experience in) just passed away last week and the company has removed his details from the website. The deceased was the one who signed her reference letter.

She is worried that another review of the file will be done before her passport is stamped and that if they don't find his details on the website it can cause problem. Can this be an issue? I do remember seeing somewhere that another review may be done but I'm not sure, hence her asking me to put the question here.

Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

profeddor15:

SkyWalk12:
