May God reward the moderators of this forum. Sincerely, only God Can reward them.
I thought about this journey about this period last year and gambled with ielts (4th Oct, 2017) with BC. To God's glory I passed at first attempt, L,S,W, R - 8, 7, 7, 8.5. Then i evaluated my first and 2nd degree Cert with WES, hubby was also pushed to write IELTS hoping to get @ least 441 but she had 6.5 in IELTS with listening being 5.5. CRS was 438. I entered the pool on 14th February. As ITA no gree drop, we had to get her master's certificate evaluated as well WITH WES, NASU strike caused a lot of delay + UNILAG postponement of convocation early this year (WES evaluation was done with Statement of Result as certificate wasn't available then, also nah standard posting I do for her oo, no much difference from Courier in terms of timeline). WES Evaluation was completed on 15th July, I updated my profile sharply and CRS jumped to 448. We got ITA that same day.

Did my medical @ Q-life (being the cheapest for the kids) on 19th of July, same day was the PCC( I just walked in to Alagbon and negotiated 5k with the officer{not the popular inspector in the house}).

I had collected my work reference letter since June as well as my pay stub. Wife's work reference letter was collected few days to application (this wasn't reqd but dont know why the system insisted i submit it, I stated it in LOE that her work experience doesn't add up scores for us)

I have a bit of Travelling experience across europe, my 1st Application to UK was denied (I stated reasons for denial in my LOE), and also showed that my subsequent application was approved. My Application was quite simple not perfect but God has perfected it for me.

POF was 100% TBILLS of two tranches, first was 25% of POF which has been in TBILL since May, 2nd Tranch of 75% was gift deed (notarised) has just been placed in t-bill in less than a week to my application. I submitted both my savings and current account Statement and stated in LOe that my current account is basically for card payment while my Savings is used for my salary and other transaction, this is really the case. I also had other voluminous transaction which i never talked about as e no concern dem, however, I stated that my POF is from the TBILLS which i attached the certificates.

I didnt rush to apply, i made sure everything was thorough and detailed. My family have 4 members.

For awaiting applicants, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS refer to page one of this trend. It was more than helpful in my Application.

Wishing us all best of luck!!!

casecasr:
Good day House. You guys have been really helpful all through my canny process. However I have another question. So I woke up this morning to a CPCO-Final Request mail saying ready for visa and that I should submit my passport. Now I’m really happy but I just logged in to my application and it still says ‘in progress’. Guys please before I continue dancing here, is it normal?

SILENT READER HERE! CLEAR ROAD PLS!! PARDON THE LATE AND LONG POST! Single applicant here!

My first IELTS was September, 2017. Speaking was fine but on the day of LRW, my village people sat by the bonfire and stirred the pot well. Guess what? I woke up 10am! I did not bother to go again, just went online to book another date in december. Till today, I still wonder how I didn't hear my alarm ring. But petty IELTS had the guts to courier my result to me ..average of 2.0 smh! lol

Anyway, second attempt results came out December 15th, I maxed out the scores LSWR (8.5,8.0,7.5,8.5) and entered pool same day with CRS score 441. Every fortnight, my heart will beat fast but tie-breaking rule didn't want me to be great. So I used that opportunity to gather docs, got my office reference letter, opened an investment account with my bank cos i planned to use 100percent gift deed.

After 5months, I got ITA in May 23, 2018. Went for medicals in June, Oga moshood to d rescue for PCC. Submitted July 6th.

My Canadian journey started in 2015 when a colleague at work told me about it, due to personal reasons, I was not quite ready to relocate permanently at the time, I opted to study and luckily I was approved for study leave at work.
Spent a year and a half in Canada and of course I did not want to come back to naija but had no choice as I had to return back to my job here.
I wrote IELTS 3 times, twice in Nigeria, once in Canada
1st attempt: LRSW: 8,8.5,8,6.5 (did not bother to remark, knew I didn't do well in writing)
2nd attempt: LRSW: 7.5, 8.5, 7, 7 ( no point remarking because of listening)
3rd attempt: LRSW: 8.5.8.5,8,7
WES: waited for 7 months before I got ECA, I had wanted to apply before my visa expired to extend my status in Canada but WES had other plans

POST ITA:
Had 3 months to submit,I wasted the first month, did not do anything other than medicals, I was pretty occupied with other things.
Started gathering documents sometime in March. End of march, ran into some troubles, I couldn't get hold of my Canadian bank to give me a reference letter, I called several times, sent emails, they confirmed receipt of email yet no letter. This went on for another 3 weeks.
In the mean time, I thought of rejecting the ITA because the funds in the Canadian account was about 40% of POF and back then I did not know about gift deeds.
Thankfully, with less than two weeks to go before deadline to submit, I called the bank's contact center and was literally crying on the phone to the lovely agent that helped me out. She kept me on hold and contacted my home branch and got the branch manager to send me my reference letter that same day.
POF included:
savings from my office cooperative account,
mutual funds investment I did sometime last year an
Cad account (submitted statements printed online, I was not about to start another huddle of trying to get stamped statements).
submitted 6 months statement of my salary account (stamped), was advised to submit this as further proof of employment

Newbies, don't take it personal when seniors refer you to page 1. after I found this tread and everyone always saying page 1, I went to look at the page 1, imagine my shock when I found out about gift deed. Could have used that since when I was not getting appropriate response instead if giving myself unnecessary high bp.

Wishing you all speedy PPRs, the journey wasn't easy but it was well worth it.

masrapido:
You guys were right!!! You were so right!!!

IT'S PPR!!!!!

I can't believe it. I have been screaming round my house since I saw the mail. After all the BP spikes and chest pain, here we are. Thanks to everyone who calmed me down yesterday. Please find my timeline below.

ITA - March 26
AOR - June 13
MEP/IP1 - June 27
IP2/ADR for spouse's Schedule A - August 3
1st Ghost update - August 15
2nd Ghost update - September 4
PPR - September 5

My journey started in 2016 when I decided to apply for EE using an agent. Wrote IELTS in September 2016, got my ECA and dived in. I had to reject the first ITA because I found out that my agent had made some 'modifications' to my work history, and wanted me to get my former employers to tweak things to that effect. The second ITA timed out due to POF issues. After that, I lost interest and decided to continue with my academics instead. By December 2017, my brother became a PR and I realized that I could get back the points I had lost due to having a birthday. Add to that the prospect of a wasted IELTS, I decided to give EE another go. And the rest, as they say, is history. I got ITA two weeks before my birthday at a CRS score of 451. Cut-off for that draw was 446, exactly 5 points below my score.

POF was my (accompanying) spouse's employee savings, the letter was not in any particular format but stated the current balance and how long he had been saving. I included his work history in the application since I knew our POF was somewhat tied to his job, so we had to get letters from his supervisors as well.

It's been a long and challenging journey - for all of us - but I know that our rest is near. To my fellow June AORs, thanks for the encouragement, you all are next in line.

Cheers. ~dances out with serious Niger Delta waist shaking~

Somebody Praise the Lord with me! My soul rejoices in the Lord.

Vuproff:
Hello house thank you for all the relevant and useful information on this thread.
I must say well done guys. God bless the work of our hands.

Please I got appointed by a Canadian province after graciously securing a job under the AIPP - Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program.
I have been directed to Apply by paper and am currently getting all documents up to roll.

Please i seek for advice from any one who has applied through this program and what they did or who ever has the right information, Please chat me up, mail me @ proffvin11@gmail, then we could chat more through phone.

Pls, a quick one, is there a problem using the normal A4 papers for printing my IMM documents?


Thank you all.

JohnDoe89:
You need your POF as soon as your get your AOR. However, you will need to prove that the fund are yours and not borrowed. Since they ask for the prior 6-month statements, they will see if the minimum required funds have been added in on lump sum. You will need to prove the origins of the funds if you are in that situation. You should check this link on how you can prove origin: https://www.justforcanada.com/settlement-funds.html

Big shout-out to everyone for their help and guidance on the thread: @Glitteringstar @mcstan18 @happytbaby, everyone!

This space is reserved for you @Newmum0615. I don't know what to type that will be enough. You are one amazing lady. I don't why or how you do all you do, but you do it selflessly and without complains. You have been away from the thread for a while but I want to thank you here for all the support, encouragement, my NOC you corrected, the LOEs you took your time to write for me, the follow-up. I can't type everything here. I am not even an ardent follower or member of the thread but that didn't stop you from going out of your way for me. May God bless and reward you beyond whatever you have ever desired of Him

Thank You everyone. God will do it for all of us. I can't contain my joy.

Passport submission loading tomorrow.

See you all at the top.

Reasonabledoubt:
At what point while waiting did you register for the planning for Canada session?

I see Zutlin did his/hers after medicals was passed.

So that I know if I should try registering.

Reasonabledoubt:
It’s just 4days after AOR, and I’ve been logging signing into my account to check for update more than once a day.

How did you people stay sane o? I’ve read the suggestions here, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

I don’t know how to handle this obsession.

God help me.

ysteph:
Your interpretation of that post beats me. I'm surprised at the way you're sounding. Someone is praying for PPR and you say he's anticipating spamming the thread?
