Our own personal person! Congratulations Love.

Thank you dear

Hmn, where do I even begin from! Initially my husband and I were considering going the Australia route but a friend encouraged us to go with Canada. We were not sure about who would be the PA (I’m younger but only wanted to use NYSC, while he could claim 2 years) so we decided to both take IELTS and let British council decide….

IELTS: Wrote Ielts in December and ont the day it was to be released both our results were withheld for quality checks! After almost 3 weeks the results were released. I became the PA (9,8.5,8,7.5 in LRSW). His was not as good but it was good enough to contribute some points. We studied using Cambridge, Ielts Liz and the free Road to Ielts materials. Advice: Preparation is key!!


ECA: This to me was a no brainer. Since there was a probability I would be the PA I quietly used IQAS while he used MCC. I have previously detailed my experience with both so wont repeat it. Advice: Start this as soon as possible, it can take a lot of time

Work Experience: I used my NYSC experience. I had a 3month extension during my service and was also retained for about 4 months thereafter. I submitted the work reference letter in strict CIC format, Pay slips, resignation letter, my previous business card and the business card of the Managing partner who signed. Advice: Get Your letter as soon as possible. This is because you cannot predict what will happen. I had a lot of back and forth with my former company regarding some of the wordings. Better to know if they will even agree to give the letter in the first place.

POF: 100% from my husband. I submitted my bank reference letters, exchange rate from xe.com and bank statements (which clearly showed the deposit from his account). I also included a declaration of gift from my husband. It’s worth mentioning that we had submitted his work reference letter and additional documents (we already had them, so why not?)

PCC: Inspector Moshood to the rescue

LOE: I put myself in the place of the Visa officer and tried to explain everything he might have questions about, such as why I wasn’t using my more recent work experience (I just told them it would be hard to get the reference letter and I highlighted the fact that the minimum requirement is 1 year which I have already fulfilled), why I have a different passport number from the one I got ITA with, my Bar Certificate, Schedule A, Travel History Form, my visa refusals, etc. I made it factual and straight to the point.


AOR: March 7

Med Passed: March 14

Ip1: March 15

Ordered 1st GCMS notes: 9th May (VO is Ottawa)

Ordered 2nd GCMS Notes: 28th June

Ip2: 1st July (when I noticed)

PPR: Today

In summary, preparation is key. God cannot bless what you haven't put effort into. Read, read and then research some more. No one can package your application better than yourself. Do NOT cut corners! It will come back to bite. Do all you can and leave the rest to God. I'll give some more info if anyone asks and when I remember

Thank you all so so much. This show of love is too much

Newmum0615:
As in ehn, I was legit screaming "Ethelia, Ethelia, Ethelia" in the car this morning. Hubby was just smiling and saying "check your mail, check your mail' He is a silent reader. I told him 'Not yet o, lemme scream first, Ethelia has gotten PPR oooo".

You and Ysteph are going to make me cry more tears this morning Thank you so much for the love! You, new mum are the most selfless person on this thread!

Before somebody chop me today let me post my short epistle

My people it is PPR!!!!

I'm coming back to give my detailed application story and testimony but I just had to share this first

mosbiod:
Lol not in my spam oo... My gmail subdivided itself into about 4 sections "Primary, Social, Promotions and Updates" and only important emails come to the Primary section .. the rest find it's way into other sections.

Lol, so for their gmail mind now, ppr mail is not important Alakoba people

Elfmannisback:

How do u mean everything? Thanks.

sometimes its just easier to type the 1 or 2 words answer, lol

o2:
I have another question which i did not find in page 0. The police character certificate comes in with a page where thumbs are printed on and a page where a passport is affixed. Should one upload only the coloured character certificate or include the other two pages.

Upload everything

mosbiod:
Tmieline:

God is the greatest... Patience is a great virtue

Congratulations! Was the email in your spam box?

ysteph:
Nigeria to Canada no bad too.

Of course its not, it just might be more expensive for him. Also imagine having to move back and settle in and then after a few weeks start traveling to Canada. #stress

porlo87:


Thanks for the Clarification, Ethelia.

So hope you didn't have any issues with the Job position having NYSC in its narration?

Hi, I hardly respond to private messages.

No I didn't have any issue with it, as per the last GCMS notes I received.

CanadianEnginee:


Eyah, i understand. You don't have to go to Canada. Would you be kind enough to transfer your PPR to me when it comes. Your colleagues love you so much.

I have to go for the sake of my children and childrens children

luffyhaki:


Emotive Pezon

luffyhaki:


That's my plan too..I fit pop champagne in front of CEO sef (during work hours)

Different strokes for different folks. I think I will cry when I have to resign. I loooove my colleagues and office so much that the thought of leaving makes me so sad . I'm even planning to just do a short landing first

porlo87:



PLEASE OOOOO !!!!!!!

Good Morning ***

What I understand is this, as far as Canadian express entry processing is concerned, the vo's only know of 2 types of employment: Full time or part time. Now, if you state your employment type as nysc they might get confused as to what it means.

In my case, I asked my office to put my employment as full time and job position as NYSC Lawyer.

Osaze007:


I have till this month do exit

Hmm,

I don't know how bad it was so I can't criticize you for resigning. I pray that you get your ppr speedily so that you go from dubai to canada and not from dubai to Nigeria and then to Canada

happytbaby:
200k bawo? Is 200k even money? It does not cover the runming costs of basic groceries, rice, beans, palm oil, fruits and what nots.....not to talk of accomodation costs, diesel costs, car fuel etc. Aye n se anti yi sha. She should renounce her British citizenship nau

She is just deluded

segzy14:


But there is someone here who said he has about 30points difference in the crs tool and E.E profile.

Sir, you have been too long on this and other related threads to still be asking this type of question

All things being equal, the points remain the same. However, some data might have changed after using the crs tool, e.g scoring higher or lower than 8777 in Ielts, age difference, etc. If this happens, then of course the score in the EE Profile will be different from what was initially projected by the crs tool.

Osaze007:
I officially resigned my job folks and I have moved to IP2

Lol, Osaze congratulations on the movement.

Tojued:
Good morning fam!

Enemy of progress

The worst aspect is that they said the over sabi lady even has British passport. Why doesn't she give it up and remain in Nigeria? Winch

May5ive:
Lol. Trust me, I'm still in the learning process. I don't even know jack. I just like to dream big, there's no problem with that right?

I've been reading up. I have a thousand & one questions, but one step at a time.

Its good to dream big, in fact thats one of the things that gets some of us through the waiting period

You are likely to get a reply to your questions if you ask them constructively, i.e. they shouldn't be questions that have been answered a million times before (you will just get referred to page 0 ) and also show that you have at least attempted to research the answer for yourself.

I wish you the best

May5ive:
Lmaooo.. It's good to start declaring things nah.

Plus I'm a Lady oh!

Lol, sister calm down first. You sound like you are trying to 'wing' it. Do yourself a favor and make sure you fully understand the whole process before proceeding.

gistwivkome:

Congrats dear... we’ll celebrate soon

Thanks sis! This month is a month of positive progress

Newmum0615:
Ope o. July our month of acceleration. Congratulations.

@Glitteringstar @Bellniki1 @tippex @Abefeolu
