… and it has finally ended in praise!!! It will end in praise for you too in Jesus Name!

My little advice: Remain patient, and positive. Ensure to have positive minded people around you, as they will be the ones to encourage you when it’s looking like you are losing faith in the whole process.
Above all, acknowledge God as the divine helper… “Nothing good comes except it’s from above”

God bless you and thank you for reading my long post!
PS: Please, rate your Prof well oooooooo!!!

You hardly reply messages..why?

Guys, can someone shed more lights on some hotspots for those in the environmental field. I have gone through some career information on eco canada but haven't really found some specific locations, hubs or hotspots for that field. Help out please.

Sfguaranteed:
Hello guys, can someone add me to the Calgary WhatsApp group? I'll be landing on Thursday. I can pm you my number if you can. Thanks.

Please did you succeed with a whatsapp group request?

thomyladey:
Hey Guys! I need advice...The employer I intend to use ( A secondary school) as proof of work experience paid by hand (cash). As a result, I dont have payslips so all I can get is a reference letter. Will this be a problem?

I was paid in cash too and on my reference letter, it was stated dat i was paid in cash. Make sure you have your letter in the right format.

Still waiting oh.

Try to also check ur spam folder

Jennypharb1:
Hard girl hard girl, small hope and my heart wants to fall out of my chest. So I'm 5 months post AOR tomorrow, been checking my account in case the message doesn't come into my mailbox. Logged in yesterday and saw application/profile updated instead of submitted that is usually there. There was no update in the account sha, and by the time I logged out again it had changed to submitted. Abeg, does this count as 'ghost update' too? Abi the wait is just messing with my head

congratulations. Had same experience and the next day i received the golden mail.

Maples779:
Eco Canada has a bridging program for environmental folks.

Thanks a great deal

Atlast i am on this thread. To God be the Glory.
Passport has been submitted to VFS, and simply waiting for COPR.
Please are there people with career in the environmental sector on this thread? Environmental management, waste management, pollution control, renewable energy and the likes. What bridge programs can one go through to enable you get a better job outside the usual survival jobs? Destination is Ontario. Will appreciate some input.

Transformium:
Hi Fizzile, How are you doing, Just found out you also went to Coventry Uni and we chatted for a bit on this thread.

Who knows, we might have actually met in the UK without realizing. Message me lets catch up and congrats again on your PPR.

Thanks

Yeah i did. Thanks bro. Just buzzed u up on your pm

KunleSteel:
Awestruck I fall to my knees as I humbly proclaim, You are amazing, God!

Ladies and gentlemen and bob_riskys, its PPR!

My application does not have any special twist or turns that makes it spectacular.

The decision to travel was in March 2018.

IELTS (LRSW 9 8.5 7 7) was attempted once. I remember not getting above 35/40 in all the listening practices while preparing for the exam. Nervousness got the better of me during speaking. It was just God's grace.

ECA (Unilag Masters) using WES took 5 months altogether, partly because I was waiting for my certificate to be ready for collection.

POF was 80% gift deed from Iya Kunle. Deed was notorised at Ikeja (Court)

MEP was a huge relief; I was expecting an ADR on that.

Raised an enquiry asking for my VO on Dec 7, 2018. Response came 5 days later that it was CPC, Ottawa.

Tracking September AOR NGR single applicants was the assignment I gave myself to predict when I would likely get PPR. GCMS notes did not raise any red flag, and all was completed except security.

This morning, when I saw an update notification on my profile without any apparent update, I was happy I got a Ghost Update. I opened my Outlook and a Ready for Visa mail dropped. I didn't know when my eyes started waterworks while singing Hillsong's So Will I

So my timeline...

IELTS: May 24, 2018
ECA: Aug 20, 2018. Dived into the pool same day.
ITA: Aug 22, 2018
AOR: Sep 26, 2018
MEP/BIL: Oct 25, 2018
Biometrics: Oct 30, 2018
ADR: Dec 14, 2018 (renewed passport, responded Dec 27)
GCMS_Ordered:Jan 9, 2019.
GCMS_Received: Feb 9, 2019.
PPR: Feb 20, 2019 (dated Feb 19)


I know I was favoured. For as many that are stuck in one stage or the other, may grace and favour locate you.

Thank you, guys,

A big congratulations to u

Jennypharb1:
Congrats fizzile, go forth and prosper. I don't know why I always feel excited when I hear prime here, it's a stone's throw from my house in pH.

AdetonaDami:

Please can you give me the link or probably send me a sample biko. Thanks

Check Part 4, Page 2..d post was around 11.38pm

Fresty:
Congrats!!!! Oya book that flight...

Sharp sharp, no time

Decision to migrate:
November 2017: At this point, it dawned on me that my stay in the UK was coming to an end. I possibly couldn't believe my eyes until i got a mail from Home Office reminding me that i had some months left on my Visa. I was like na so this people wan thank me for spending millions running a Masters programme? At this point, i pinched myself and i was like..."oboy wetin u wan go do for naija"? To start from the scratch? Mbanu !!! I thought of applying for scholarships in the UK and US but for the UK, i was like never!!!.. not after breaking my back all in d name of warehouse jobs...lolzz omor i huzzle shaaa oooo. Options like residency in Australia and Canada became my best bets but I rather chose the Canada route and came across this thread..the rest is history.

IELTS:
My first IELTS test was in the UK, and i prepared for two weeks. First IELTS was LRWS: 7.5, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5...I was so excited thinking that was gonna fetch me a good CRS not knowing i needed atleast an 8.0 in the listening band. I really appreciate the great guys here who encouraged me to retake the test. Got back to Nigeria in January 2018 and decided to retake IELTS, this time around in March. Had ample time to prepare and was very much relaxed in the hall. My second IELTS test was LRWS: 8.0, 7.0, 7.5, 7.5 which was enough for me. As for the materials i used, i basically used online platforms like ieltliz, ieltsbuddy.com and ielts-up.com.

ECA
This was straightforward as i evaluated just my Masters degree. WES was at my service and did the needful. Being a foreign degree, it was a smooth process for me, and i had my evaluation done within a month or thereabout.

MEDICALS
This was quite straightforward. Had mine at Prime Medicals in Port Harcourt. Unfortunately, they are no longer part of the process.

PROOF OF FUNDS(POF)
Used 100% gift deed from my dad. This was transferred to my savings account and transfer document for that was secured. Many have been of the opinion that notarizing the gift deed isn't necessary. Personally i notarized mine. For the gift deed, i simply followed the format put up by wakanowdotcom. His post was really helpful. Other documents i submitted are:
>6-month bank statement showing inflow of cash and transfer of POF.
>Also got a printout of currency converter (oanda and xe.com) as at day of submission,
>LOE explaining source of funds and bulk sum and,
> bank reference letter.
NO PAYSLIPS WAS INCLUDED. I contemplated including one, but when i got necessary advice from the likes of Tojued and Newmum0615, i had to submit my application without including payslips. Happytbaby, glitteringstar, ugoiyke79e, thanks for all your mails. I so disturbed these guys and trust me, they were of great help.

EMPLOYMENT:
This was the point i needed my God to step into the matter...lolzzzz.. I actually worked in a firm where i was paid in cash, and all i did was to get a reference letter from my boss in CIC format. I also included an LOE stating the reason i was paid in cash. It was indicated on the letter that i was paid in cash. As for online presence, the firm had no online presence like a website, and i had to including a screenshot of the firm's registration page on the CAC's website. Lastly, i included my boss's complimentary card just incase they decide to reach him directly. In all, i committed everything to God. One prayer i kept praying was, God please blind them from all my inadequacies and trust me this prayer worked like magic..hahahahha.

PCC:
I applied for Nigeria and UK PCC. Mr Moshood was of great help when i applied for the Nigeria PCC. Though he made some errors on my PCC, but Lucia was very helpful as she helped me apply for another and scanned it to me.

ADRs:
I recieved my first ADR on Sept 20th and it was to fill Schedule A form, of which i did immediately and submitted.
Second ADR came in October, which was to make payment for RPRF. Made this payment immediately.
Third ADR came in and lo and behold, i thought it was PPR not knowing i had another form to fill up. This time around, it had to do with filling the IMM5406 form (additional family information). As usual, i responded swiftly.

GCMS NOTES:
Ordered first set of gcms notes on the 24th of November, 2018, and for over 60days it wasn't delivered. Mailed them severally and kept getting all sort of excuses. Atlast, had to re-order and it arrived on the 9th of Feb, 2019. Everything look cool. The wait continued

In all these, it's been a long wait...some will say long overdue but i must say it is worth the wait. At some point i almost lost it 'cos i was beginning to get fed up with responses from CIC agents. Disturbing CIC agents became a hobby to me, as i kept calling and calling...dats how i spoke to one agent thrice on different occassions..lolz...but shun, this lady's voice is something else...often felt at home each time i got connected to her. Will miss her though...hope we get to meet in Cannyland. Psychologically, this process drained me..imagine friends always wanting to know wats going on in this life of dis dude who just got back from UK...enemies at the gate i must say...but God pass them. I no wan mention all dos "cats" (babes) wey don chop my UK money run....lolzzz.. dey go soon come back to chop Canny money...Chop keee una there...hahahahaha...

Emotionally, it was hard for me...thinking about the whole process and thinking about a sick dad who keeps asking..."my son, when are they gonna send the mail?...are you sure this thing will work out?...it became a regular thing that each time i watched his face and have the thoughts of FSW Express Entry, i simply got weak. One thing is for sure, he gave me a big smile early this morning when i got the golden mail..been a while i saw him smile though. One thing is for sure, i am happy he is strong to see this become a reality....no worry, na canny doctors go treat u las las. Maybe all those great doctors on this thread.

I must say a huge thank you to everyone who chipped in one info or the other, you guys were of great help. Smslive, indeed you are a great oracle. Fresty, we global now !!!! Cheee !!! thanks for being a buddy indeed...God bless you real good.

To my family...u know yourselves, AOR August Whatsapp group and August ITA whatsapp group, you guys rock.. Love y'all.. Mo, u aiit? init?

To the newbies or those in the process, stay strong, stay focused, asked questions, i repeat ask questions.. read...read...read too...this journey is one that requires even the smallest person beside u.. Throw away pride and ego, and be humble enough to seek information. It is key. ABOVE ALL, BE CLOSE TO YOUR GOD...IT MIGHT SOUND FUNNY, BUT TRUST ME NOT EVERYONE WHO SEES YOU GOING TRU DIS PROCESS WISH U WELL...HENCE, BE CLOSE TO YOUR GOD.

TIMELINE:

One funny thing that happened prior to when i got the ghost update yesterday morning was that, i ordered for second GCMS notes in the morning, and after some minutes i got the ghost update, trust igbo guy like me naa.. i hurriedly mailed gcmsbuddy to cancel my order and initiate a refund. Indeed God was ahead of me.

NubianQueen87:
Hello house.

I have a disturbing thought that was brought on by a concerned friend.

I am claiming only NYSC as work experience. I served 2010-2011, which falls under the 10year band required by CIC. I worked for my Mom but my salary can't be traced to an account because we had a special agreement on payment mode.

My question is,does it matter that my last job (that can be proved)was 9years ago? Will this in any way affect my application?

I dont think thats an issue

Emmalexpharm:
Pls What happened to this thread
It has to start pls i need informations.
Where our Guru's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's kick up again. Sometimes we may not know how a saviour we can be to people with that small good information you think that is nothing. But it can bring live to the person, his family and his generation!!!!!!=

Go ahead please

AdetonaDami:
You're very correct...STARTING is the most important..
hmmm I've not even write IELTS and have lost weight..Indeed I don START

hiaaannnn...na when you write IELTS you go start true true. No worry, just write am first..u hear?

Nikfay:
Hello all, Pls what documents do I need if am a baker and I want to migrate to Canada through express entry

I think page one has a section for those are applied as unemployed and the necessary documents they used.

Unhealthy:
I had to open this new moniker so that I can share my problems without any shame

I developed the staphylococcus infection last year through toilet I life has been so terrible for me.

I have been battling with constant headache, fatigue and shortness of breath, and a worm like movement in my body for a long time. Sometimes I feel numbness on the part of my body and it's really affecting me. My boss has been complaining about my incompetence at work and it's possible I lose my job if things continue this way

I've gone to several hospitals and spend a lot of money to conduct series of test after which blood culture revealed I have a heavy growth of Staphylococcus Aureus.

I took the result to a doctor and he prescribed Pefloaxin for me and I also took five injection to flush this bacteria and it seemed like I was getting out of the bond of this bacteria until the symptoms returned back few weeks later.

I decided to resort to Nairaland because most of the doctors I've gone to are incompetent, and I don't want to take too much antibiotics so that my body will not become resistant to it.. The way this staph is affecting me is becoming unbearable. I can't sleep or breath well

Someone suggested I go to general hospital since they seem to be more experienced but all na the same. They are always too much in a hurry to attend to patients and prescribe drugs.


Please if you have treated this stubborn infection before, how did you manage to cure it completely? Did you use drugs or herbs?

I know many carriers of this bacteria normally get scammed by online advertisers and I know they will flood this thread with their fake herbal drugs. Please I need you to come to my aid and don't look for a way to swindle money from me with ineffective drugs

Here is the result of my test.


Please help me move this to the FP for a wider audience

Use gentamicin injection for a week. It will kill the bacteria. Staph is a bacterial infection.

Baajio:
Hello,
Please I want to know if my wife's aunty who has permanent residency in Canada can count for her as blood relation in Canada and how many points will it be in the crs calculation?

Sorry, it won't count.

folamingo:
No vex o, I would get up to speed and try and be of assistance the best way I can.

No wahalaaa... Go and sin no more...you are cleansed... you can stand this way for communion.

Ifeoma77:

He was trying to help Fiz

eeehh i know naa..but come first let me wisper some words to your ears..oya come closer... why did u laugh?

folamingo:
That's why I said unless something has changed ooo...and my status to show I am old school.

Forgive me for missing the memo, seems quite a lot has changed. Let me retire and observe jeje

Your status to show you are old school? Old school for wetin? Noooooooo... u would have simply used fore-father... na today PR start? Lolzzz...oga mk i chop this food jejely

ontarioissauga:
They ended up announcing their PR status of 2017.

U've seen it naa.. as per we are newbies and they are forefathers

folamingo:
Unless something has changed, why are you guys evaluating WAEC in WES. You are just meant to evaluate your highest educational qualification used in gaining points. E.g. Masters/Bachelors Degree...etc. I hope you guys are not stressing yourselves unduly.

"Please note that it is highly unnecessary that you include your WAEC in the evaluation process as this does not add further points and only delays the process."

During my time, I only evaluated my MBA. PR holder since 2017!

chhaaaiiiiii but why?? Bros why naaa?

Jaymamma:
AOR - Jan 31 and BG is showing IP2 since AOR

Just noticed today tho.

Is this a technical glitch?

It is normal. Fear not. Mine was same from the onset.
