The thread frontliners, my Whatsapp group members, my TEF family (les quebecois ), etc., y'all have been extremely helpful to be honest. One thing I believe is, provided your application is complete and sincere, time is the highest it can take! As for those doing one thing or the other to get ITA, please do not give up. Hang in there, the end goal is worth it. The feeling is indescribable. I woke up every one hour to check my mail again just to convince myself it was not a dream!

_{Happily ever after with Ifeom.a77}

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!

Decision to Travel


First thing this morning, VFS Abuja to submit my passport (found the process on the thread) before they change their mind.

teeielts360:
Looooooong Pooooooost Aleeeeeert.

God of the Universe has spoken.

To the gods that man the gates,
To the gates that guard the cities.
To the cities that grounds its peoples,
To the people that long for freedom.
The almighty, the All knowing, the All rulling God is merciful and just to grant us grace and ridiculous favor.

I have fallen a thousand times,
I have failed a million times,
Lessons learnt is theory,
Useless without His mercies.

They say thomas Edison failed a thousand times and became successful after the last try in inventing the incandescent light bulb. Without the mercies of God, he would fail a thousand more.

I have found him in the highest of places but he found me in the lowest of places.
I have acknowledged him in my joyous state yet he remembered me in my deepest depression.

I reiterate the popular declaration,
He is greater than the greatest,
Stronger than the strongest,
Wiser than the wisest.

He has established and blessed me like the trees planted by the riverside, like the cedar of lebanon, bearing fruits in its season.
He has not just blessed me but extended it to my household.

Habba father...

The British Council of elders have raised their standards but my God raised another, far beyond their imagination.

Habba father..

He has filled me most in my emptiest state.

7 IELTS TESTs and I don't even know where the mental, emotional or even financial strength came from.

6 EORs and I don't know who gave me the guts and courage. I know it's not me.

Habba father,
Ha, since april 2017,
Habba father,
To September 2019.

Habba father,
brought gold to my door step before the little silver I have is threatened.

All of a sudden, all stars align and bow to your word...

What advice can a man who has failed 7 times or even more give to the people that seek victory.

Look onto God, the author and finisher of our faith.

Clock still ticking but He has shown His face.
Emmanuel, I have seen his grace.

To the ielts tutors that listened to my cry here on this thread.

I pray you all fulfill your destiny on this earth and beyond.

Words said,
Praise be to jah,
Back to the grind,
Make I try contain the vex wey I get for my employer cus right now, the anger won double.
It would end in praise in Jesus name.

Wow!! Congratulations @ieltsaced
May the rest be easy for you

ladymarshall:
First, let me say a big thank you for your wishes and prayers since I first announced. I’m so overwhelmed as I type not just because of the happy shock of PPR but also because I never expected the outpouring of love. Thank you. I really appreciate you all.

Second, to those post-AOR awaiting PPR, please check your emails even as you read this script. Golden email can come at anytime like play. Only two nights ago I was so depressed at the thought of CIC, I ate only once, had a sleepless night, woke up yesterday expressing my frustration in group chats early morning until 9.05am and from nowhere, golden email came in at 9.06am. There is hope.

Big big congratulations Sis!!

You didn’t disappoint with the PPR gist, it was perfectly crafted with a generous dose of maple syrup



Welcome to your new home and may it favour you

ladymarshall:
My people o, it's Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, as in PPR

Just now. I can't breathe. Oh my God. This feeling is indescribable o. I was sleepless last night and ranting on whatsapp group early this morning o.

God has humbled me. I'll be back with my full script. Let me catch my breathe. I wish I can send voicenote so you can hear my screams and fast breathing.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

Maritee:

The full version of my PR Story!!!

On 15th of August, 2019, I woke to the 'Ready for Visa Mail' and was so overjoyed, grateful and full of thanks to God, coz if not for him on my side, this journey would have been fruitless. And so I would like to first give a big shout out to the Almighty for everything he has done for me thus far, Thank You Jesus!!!

Now, the story in detail

VO: Ottawa

AOR:
I submitted my application on April 1st, 2019 and documents I submitted were:
• Work reference letter in CIC format on the company’s letterhead from HR and I claimed just 1 year (I didn’t submit any other document with this, just the letter alone as I was no longer working the organisation)
• POF was 100% from my Dad, he did a Gift deed and notarized it. After he paid the money into my account, I immediately invested in money market funds with Axa Mansard (thank you @Claire18 for your help on this one) as I was scared of leaving the money in my savings account. So I printed a statement of account showing the input of the POF into my account and the movement of the money into Axa Mansard Money Market Account. I then requested for a reference letter from Axa Masard in CIC’s format for the money invested and a statement of my investment account from them as well and submitted all this as my POF documents (I didn’t submit any 6 months statement, just a statement for the days I did the transfers)
• Medical Paper from IOM
• PCC (Scanned the whole pages including finger print pages)
• Data page of Intl. Passport
• Digital photo that I took using a photographer on my street, I sha gave him the specifications and he did a very good job, I even consulted with Ifeoma77 on this coz I wasn’t sure, her comment made me blush, lol, thanks Ify .
• For Education, I submitted my Masters Degree, B.Sc, IELTS and ECA report all in 1 PDF file.
Can’t remember if there’s anything else to add

On 1st of August, I decided to go take my passport at Studio 24 just to prepare myself for the mail, I just had a hunch to do it and also requested for GCMS note on the 7th of August (yet to receive that though). On 14th of August morning, I saw a ghost mail in my application and I just started jumping for joy that atleast my file was being worked upon. My people on the whatsapp group started congratulating me that PPR was close by and I kept that faith burning. Lo and behold, I woke around 3am on the 15th of August (dated 14th August) and decided to check my phone, hmmmmmmm, READY FOR VISA MAIL (PPR) was sitting pretty in my mail and I almost went numb. Wow, the feeling was indescribable mehn, I couldn’t hold the joy and the fact that I was now fully a Canadian,lol. Guys, the whole journey was worth it mehn and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Thank you all for reading and I can’t wait to see you all in canny land (my Beloved Country)

Congrats Sis!! And more hailings to that your photographer, he’s the real MVP
As for your skin, let’s just say Canada should brace for your arrival

ladymarshall:
O CIC, why hast thou forsaken me?
In uncertainty I wait
To know my fate
Restless as a bee
Helpless as the troubled sea

All day long, I wonder,
Does trouble loom?
Is my file doomed?
All night long, I ponder,
In silent nights, I lay confused
in scented lights, my brain contuse
I feel consumed, my thoughts subsumed
in letters 'Ty' 'Ty' Ty'
Eligibility
Security
Criminality
I've done no wrong
Yet feel so pronged
Haunted by the letter 'R'
Confronted by the letters 'RR'

O CIC
How I long for speedy diligence
To fight this impatience
Caused by your negligence
Give me my residency
My soul needs the permanency
To restore my sanity
The wait feels like eternity

I freeze...my breath cease...my spirit uneasy...queasy

And in the hollows of my inanity
My mother blessed with superhumanity
Spoke the words of the divinity
Laced with spirituality
Alas! I feel serenity, tranquility
Her words like a psalm, soothes like a balm
I'm calm, no qualm
As hope rays, it will end in praise.

#rantsofananxiousEEapplicant

When they say “the only way out is through..” CIC was taking notes.
I know how you’re feeling Sis, and I know from experience that platitudes are useless. So I’m just sending hugs,
It won’t be long from now

pejuhazel:

Thanks, I understand that it's no reason to panic but it's frustrating cos it's 7 months and it's been complete silence, they don't even response to emails and CSE. I guess I'm just going to have to keep waiting for them to reach out, thanks again.

hope they get moving soonest
Hugs Sis

chukwuemeka275:


Congratulations

Thank you

pejuhazel:

Cc Topma.men, LadyM.arshall, Ifeo.ma77, jennyp.harb1 and any one who can help us.
Thanks

There's no reason to start panicking, it's a recommendation. It can be reversed later.
And if it isn't, the interview invite will reveal why ...that's the time when help and preparation tips would come in handy because then, those who've travelled that road will provide insight that is specific to the situation

Congrats on the Job sis, you've settled in nicely

My Landing Story
I got my PPR in March 2019 after more than a 5-month wait. It was a very tiring experience, I must acknowledge. Well, I sent my documents and passport the next day to Accra through the usual channel. I was overly excited but knew that the real work had just begun.

But all glory to God for speed and making all fall in place. My apologies for the very long story. I wish everyone still in the process divine speed and safe trip into Canada.
God bless you.
It has finally ended in praise!

Welcome home Prof Snape

Liz019:
CARGO OOOO!!! I MADE THE MISTAKE OF SETTLING FOR EXTRA LUGGAGE. I'm still regretting that decision.

Louder Sis!!!!!
I'm regretting all the things I sacrificed trying to reduce the luggage. And still paid 72k! Just a little more money and I would have cargoed everything and travelled light

Claire18:
@bolded....I can relate!

As in ehn! Welcome home Sis, enjoyed your gist so much

wholesomegrace:

czaratwork:
Ifeom.a77, welcome to Canada. You are really a jaiye jaiye person. With this attitude, you will not be long in the labour market. This is the kind of energy they need here. If you doubt me check their job postings, you will always see fast paced environment mentioned.

Enjoy your vacation and please add July 1 as part of your vacation because no business opens on that day and it will help you see how Canadian enjoy their day. Connect with a community close to you on that day and enjoy their events.

thanks Sis! I did exactly that

Hey Fam,

Since I am still basking in the euphoria of my PPR, let me shed more light on how it came through.

Conclusively, permit me to step aside by telling everyone in the race to hang in. You’re a champion. I full ground for any assistance oo. God bless us,Canada and Nigeria.

Yay! Congrats!!

@Ifeo.ma77 is waiting for questions like, "My CRS is 465, when will my ITA come?", "Will I get ITA at 480?".

Let's put her to shame this time o.

<Laughs in spiritual powers>

gbemlad:
Hello everyone, I have been a coded silent reader. But I am coming out of my silent mode. It's been 181 days since I submitted my application. I saw Jennypharb1 and titilola's post yesterday and that triggered me to comment. It hasn't been an easy ride at all, the days I wake up in the middle of the night and remember my NOC and job designation doesn't match well, the day I see people from recent aor sharing PPR stories, the days I have dreams of request letter sent to my mail. Infact I dread checking my profile because it has always been on submitted shortly after medicals was passed. Hmmm, I am ranting abi, my sincere apologies. I would like to commend the selfless people on this thread, this gives me hope that Nigeria can still be better. I love ife.oma77, the day she got her PPR, I silently danced and was elated as if it was mine. LadyMa.rshall, ure doing a great job, would like to meet this two angels when I get to canny. Please permit me to pm you titilo.la and Jenn.ypharb1. And I would like to be added to December aor WhatsApp group. Happy Canada day people.

Awwww love you too
And don't worry, it won't be long from now

_{You can also pay prophet offering to Adun.ne and let her declare over your application}

To God be all the Glory...
Y'all remember in part 7 where I said we sent original documents alongside our passport and wasn't sure if they would be returned.. To God be the Glory, they returned everything, including the "confirming confirmento".
And it wasn't the work of an agent like people thought, na overskill bn do us
Glory to God



and thanks y'all, @ifeo.ma77, @lady.marshall, and every other contributors

Wow you are so lucky!! Congrats
