You couldn't have said it more accurately! It's really difficult!

ottawasenators:
You know sometimes when reality sets in, a lot of people just suddenly realize it aint just easy to close shop and relocate almost immediately

I have been trying to send you a PM but it's giving me a bad gateway error message. Please can you try sending me one? I just want to be added to the group that supplied you materials. I am going for CPHR though because I am Winnipeg bound.

I think we have a number of HR professionals here and it will be nice if we can all connect so we can help one another with informations.

abakiki:
Thanks!!

Really, how we take know?

If you are Toronto (Ontario) bound you should be looking at CHRP, other provinces CPHR.

The Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) is the entry level designation. It is also the best known HR designation in Canada and available exclusively from HRPA. Human Resources professionals at entry level may be entering the workforce, acting in roles that are mostly administrative in nature, such as a contributing role in a larger HR function, or a sole HR practitioner in a small HR function. Individuals in this level would have responsibilities such as supporting HR initiatives, executing tasks passed down from management, and operating at the tactical and transactional levels. They often have titles such as Human Resources Assistant, Staffing Coordinator, Human Resources Clerk, or Human Resources Coordinator.​

Youtook:
Really? I have an Msc and 3 years experience so I should be fine. Will reach out to them ASAP. But the one he was referring to is HRPA. Not sure which one is widely accepted. I think CHPR has different certifications for different provinces. Will check it out. Thank you.

Congratulations! Felt like I was reading a novel. You write very well. Good luck in your new job!

My Landing Gist

Sorry this is coming late guys.

So I woke up early on December 9, 2018 as I couldn’t sleep because of too much excitement to finally settle in my beloved Canada. My Lufthansa flight to Toronto via Frankfurt was scheduled for 11:40 PM, I got to the airport just in time to check in. After the much dreaded checking in, I had a huge relief. From AoR to PPR to CoPR, village people still wanted to at least try their luck again at the airport. My dad’s car broke down just as we arrived the airport. My other 2 brothers were not allowed in so they had to stay back to check the car, we said our emotional goodbyes and took goofy selfies with plenty hugs. @Topsmamen was not with us as he was out of the country, chillaxing somewhere. Getting to checking in, I had an excess of 13KG and while the immigration lady was still talking, my head was running around analysing what heavy items were in what bag and how I could reduce the weight. A friend in Toronto asked me to bring her some clothing and food items and knowing I would be staying with her, that was the least I could do. I kept thinking - “Should I remove these heavy boots? Do I drop some bags of Semo or the Poundo Yam?”. While I was standing there thinking, from the corner of my eye, I could see the lady staring at me waiting for me to end my drama, I looked up at my Dad and I could see the lines of worry on his face. He’s a conscientious person and seeing him like that pained me. “It happens”, so he said. After weighing my bags at home, my people, it’s like the weighing scales they use at the airports do ojoro for us o.

Congratulations. Can't wait to land too. Goodluck in your new home!

olajide21:
After 36hrs of Travel, Calgary I am soooo pleased to finally meet you. I am a very nice guy with my family of a sweet wifey and lovely kids. Canada, be nice in return ok.

She (Canada) is soooooo beautiful people!

Whatever stage you are on the process, i wish you the best.

The fulfilment that comes after you've landed is that of accomplishment.

Alhamdulillah for His mercies.

Goodluck and bye for now

I feel your joy. I celebrate this milestone with you. Congratulations!

Ella99:
I'm overwhelmed with joy that i could cry right now.
Finally bagged an ITA after writing IELTS three times. Infact 4 sef because one of the results was not released due to headset malfunctioning.
God is good. I'm beyond ecstatic and this is the best christmas ever for me.
Congrats to everyone who got in with today's draw.
Please, anybody have a sample for gift deed?
Thank you.

This made me widely! I am particularly happy for you. Congratulations!
I am equally too excited for all the 439s that have patiently waited for this day. Congratulations to you all.
May God bless us all.

wasseynewest:
Chai! Chineke!! Na me be this?? See as i dey look CIC ITA mail do yanga. I no even ready to open, like make I leave am till next week sef......lols.
Once again, Thanks my beautiful NLanders. Thank God I have you guys!!!!!!!

Please mail CPC Ottawa or whatever VO issued your PPR. Someone who got PPR with you on the same day has already done the same and received another PPR mail with the correct Visa Office which is Accra. I have attached a copy of the response he got from Ottawa.

Adiepena:
Good day house,

Fellow India/Nepal PPR clinchers, any good news?

Am not making any headway with regards to it. The CSE i raised came back that they have verified the information i gave and they have forwarded to the office in charge and they will get back to me.

I called Accra VO on Monday and they said i should mail the Canadian High Commission in Accra(which i have done but have no response yet).

I called Accra VO again this morning to find out if i can submit the passports, since they can verify and issue the visa. They said since it is specifically stated that it should be sent to India, they cant do anything about it. Either CPC sends a new letter instructing Accra or i send them to India as earlier indicated. 30 days is ticking

I asked how i should go about sending to India if that remains my last option and the agent wasnt helpful. He said he doesnt know. I thought Canada has designated VFS for passport transmission.

Fingers crossed.
Will update the house if i get any helpful information.

Wow, makes a lot of sense. You outdid my expectation. Thanks very much.

olajide21:
Hope this makes some sense. The shop is tucked in the middle of roll of shops. On the other hand, once you get to wuse market, ask for the guy that sells winter wears. You may also try this number: 08035041688 - Azubuike (got it from this thread)

Also. Usman - 08130987851
As for him, you would need to speak Hausa.

Please can you describe the shop? Is the seller popular? Can you also drop the number of the other person. Thanks.

olajide21:
There is JUST ONE SHOP inside wuse market where you can get winter gears. I also have a contact of a vendor who moves around selling same. You can tell him to get your specs. Na so Abuja be. Let me know if you are interested.

Yes post, EMS.

mizGene:
So how did you end up submitting your form? Post?

P.S thank you and thanks also to everyone that answered my question. I don't want to quote posts unnecessarily.

I mailed them, got the payment details and did a bank transfer. All the cards I used were rejected too, including a visa gold card.

mizGene:
Hello everyone!

So I have officially started my process since last week. Got my ielts booked and transcript shared with WES, now I'm trying to apply for a UK pcc and frustration wants to finish me, all cards rejected including a UK bank card...who has applied recently, any tips for me? How did you pay?

Sorry I had to quote your whole message. I have been touched by your case. Just yesterday i was feeling pity for you. A MEGA CONGRATULATIONS to you. You truly deserve this. I am too elated for you.

Praise to the Lord the Almighty the king of creation!

Below is my timeline

Family of 5

Then silence. Not even a single ADR.
Ordered 1st GCMS notes April 2018 everything looked perfect.
Then complete silence.
Ordered 2nd GCMS notes July 2018, this never arrived
Wrote Raplh who confirmed Eligibility and Security not yet started.
More silence, not even a ghost update
October 3rd 2018 ordered 3rd set of GCMS notes. Arrived Nov. 1st. Still same as April notes. My file had not been touched since March 2018. Eligibility and Security not yet started.
Wrote a 3rd mail to Ralph on Nov 4th who was gracious enough to respond (Ralph responds only once). He confirmed that my eligibility and security was not yet started and my application cannot be expedited.
Nov 8th, like a dream ! my PPR!

Checked email and profile this morning and saw nothing.

By 2pm during my lunch break, I saw a mail notification, I wanted to ignore but decided to check.

I saw a mail from donotreply@cic.gc.ca that I have an update on my profile. I was excited, that finally I am getting a ghost update / adr.

I logged into my cic acct and saw my profile was updated. I was so excited,thinking it was just a ghost update and that finally my file was receiving attention. I wanted to log out but I felt the nudge to proceed and click on view complete application which I did.

Nothing seemed to have changed, my background check was still in process, I was about to log out again, when I felt that urge to scroll further down to the mail section.

I saw I had a new mail, titled request letter. I already concluded that it was an ADR for fresh bank statement. Love and behold, it was the almighty PPR.

I wasn't expecting it to come without an ADR for updated POF since my application had been pending for almost 10months. I lost appetite immediately, and was was just screaming. I couldn't share the news with my colleagues, so I just lied to them that my husband got a new job!�.

I am immensely grateful to God Almighty who did not put me to shame. Delay is not denial. Though it tarries, it must surely come.

Thank you all for all the love and support.

Off to take my pictures and submit tomorrow.

This year has been so challenging. hubby and I lost our jobs, all our money tied at POF, we were feeding from Hand to mouth and struggled to pay school fees. Infact this September, we had to change their schools to a very cheap school.

God bless you all.

No need to cut your job duties. My reference letter was 3 paged and only page one was on the office letterhead.

DrMrsCK:
Thank you. These people are telling me to cut out some duties and jam-pack the rest on one page. I am not ready to compromise on that.

Yes. Cooperative was part of my POF. I got a letter from them stating when I joined, my total savings so far, and that the funds will become available to me upon closure of the account.

codehead777:
I have some savings in my Cooperative Account, can I get a letter from the cooperative office and use for POF? Also, can I use payslips to back this up as the deductions were done from my salary?

The cooperative bye-law does not permit closing the account except if you are no longer in that employment, but I am still working there.

Has anyone successfully used cooperative savings as POF here?

I think you should ask your question on the PNP thread or read up the thread, hopefully you will gain more clarity on the process by the time you have read a few pages there.

Happy Birthday to you in advance.

hernyhorla:
If I know , I won't ask .

Some of us don't really understand these processes like some do and asking shouldnt be considered wrong ,abeg.
If you know my story , you won't judge me.
My IELTS expires Next month .
I have said it repeatedly that I get confused with some of the processes.
Let me enjoy the moment first . Its my birthday tomorrow .

Go with option 2@Carolina212. I did just that when I couldn't log into my first account.

@Spouse, I know you will read this, I just wanna say I am so sorry for diving you so hard, forcing you to sit for IELTS with your big bum, forcing you to go after inspector moshood with that big bum, forcing you to take a 3days old baby to queue up at immigrations for passport. Believe me, I really do appreciate every of ur efforts and it was just for our collective good. I love you to the moon !

Peace out !

Read about this somewhere on this thread...I'm not exactly sure but it was PM things. I just tired searching for it but couldn't find it. Now that you asked again i'm very much interested in knowing .

Wow! Feels good to be a bona fide member of this thread. Now I can post here confidently.

Tojued:
Has anyone ever booked their landing flight through IOM before, or at least asked them for their quote and considered their prices before booking privately? I know that for Australia its sometimes cheaper and they even offer extra baggage allowance.

To the best of my search abilities there's been no mention of IOM flight assistance on this thread.

Google CRS calculator and use it to simulate your scores and know if you stand a chance. It will even guide you in your IELTS preparations. Once you know the bands you need in LRSW, you can work towards achieving them.

2funkyy:
Hello house am new on the express entry just preparing to write IELTS,my husband and i just want to start the process and am suppose to be the primary applicant because of my masters from scotland, i just want to know if we have a chance at the express entry pool, because he doesnt have a masters and he too is just about to write IELTS

The letter can contain the phone number and email address of your immediate boss.

Canadahome:
Please, I work for a government Ministry, the letter head does not contain email or phone number. What do I do?

I don't know if it is mandatory but I still got the bank letter to show I have run my account satisfactorily. It wasn't even up to 6 months. The account was 5 months old as at the time I submitted the application.

jholarharde:
wown, wown, wown, now I'm sounding like a police van, the PPR news are beauties to behold. congrats @ fuzzyman, @pacowo, @favoured2505, @amakaota. I wish you more of God's favour going forward.

a quick one please, is it mandatory I get a bank letter if I'm using tbills certificate?

My people...JEHOVA JIREH HAS DONE ME WELL. I still can't believe it ooooooooo. Finally the wait is over. IT's PPRRRRRRRRRRR!

I remember how bad I felt when IELTS first humbled me. Me like this! An English graduate and a well acknowledged good writer...story for another day. I used ieltsJay to console myself.

My spouse was not left our in the humbling too. He is as I call him 'English Master'. We were both humbled .

Here's my timeline:
First IELTS (BC): 12th May LRSW - 7, 7.5, 8, 6.5 - created a profile and stood at 372
Second IELTS (MOD): 30th June LRSW - 9, 8.5, 7.5, 7 - profile upgraded to 444.
Spouse aced his second attempt too - LRSW - 8,8.5, 7, 8

First profile became ineligible after I changed NOC. I came here, searched the thread and found a solution. I created a new profile on July 18th with same GCkey. (People please learn to search the thread, it's loaded with lots of information)

ITA: July 25. Cut off was 441
AOR: August 15th
MEP and BIL: September 16
Biometrics done: September 17
Ghost update: October 13
PPR: October 16 at 12.59am dated October 15.

Application remained in IP2 from AOR. Family of 5

We prayed so hard about this application. I claimed everybody's speedy testimony especially Kwado88 and Mepconsultant but God did it in His own time.

POF: Treasury Bill certificate and Dorm account. The savings account was empty but we still printed the statement to show we bought TB from there. We sidnr attach Salary account statement but we showed proof of employment and attached payslips with reference letter.

It's been a long and very emotional journey. I can't even remember the things to post again. I booked a space here on page 1 of this part 5 and yer, God did it finally!

Congratulations Amaka

I jettisoned the idea to immigrate to Canada and concentrated fully on the task ahead... Trip to Afghanistan.

The fear of Al-qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram etc were constantly resounding in my head. But I was determined and ready to face the challenge head on.

Two weeks to our departure date, my girlfriend/fiance called and told me she was pregnant and that the parents are already aware

To be Continued...

It's page 419.

Wow, you didn't get back to me. Would have still pursued it for you. Sorry about that.

Newmum0615:
It's Ebonyi State University sha, not OOU. He will be travelling next week. The thing tire person.

Don't be sad Pegzzyg. I know how you feel. IELTS humbled me once too. I felt so ashamed too but after a while I put it behind me, rose up to the challenge and conquered it the next time. I will you all the best in the next one.

Pegzzyg:
I am very humbled right now, I know what it means for IELTS to humble someone infact I am so ashamed to share my result! Registering for another right away....
#Sad

Lol. Congratulations. I love your reaction. Go flourish in Canny land

Something else I should mention.
I read somewhere that if we include NYSC as time with the "Government" under personal history, it could result in extensive security screening, well I guess that did not apply to me... I was busy getting myself worked up for nothing.

So this is it! Join me to rejoice people. I pray that each and everyone of us arrived at Canny Land in no distant time.

Let me also thank the amazing individual(s) who selflessly put up this platform. God bless you abundantly.

Congratulations! I can't imagine the 'cry'. The process really gets frustrating at times. Please do you by any reason know why they requested for 1year salary account? Didn't you attach your payslips in the initial application?

Yes. You need to show the source of the T-bills, except you have provided for source as gift deed. (Even at that I still think the statement of account is necessary). I included same with the low balance. I am still waiting for PPR though.

dbaba83:
@Godisincontrol, please is it compulsory to include a bank statement showing proof of where I purchased my treasurybill . Cous in that account I have a very low closing balance. But I used the funds in the account for tbills
Pls advise

Wow! You landed already! I've just been smiling reading your post. I screenshot your testimony in the other thread and have been using it to pray for my application. Now reading your landing gist ....it's all surreal. Grace indeed found you and will keep finding you. Excel in Canada.

Kwado87:
Grace Found Me....

Landed Edmonton yesterday night...

Left for Abuja airport by 9.30am, my flight was by 1.27pm via Ethiopian Airline. 2 adults, 2 infants....

I remember reading landing gists on this thread, and wondering when I will write my own....

All in all, while leaving the airport,i just had a fear of this is for real, now the real WORK starts then it just dawned on me God's faithfulness to me and I realized that my AOR (JULY 3RD) to Landing (SEPT 28)was less than 3 months.....then I became confident again that that
GRACE WILL KEEP FINDING ME........
abeg make I sleep... IT HAS BEGUN IN PRAISE

Congratulations @doppler06 and @expectantbee. So happy for both of you. Go and flourish in your new country.
