saidato:
@ifeom.a77 pls I need ur help on SINP OID I can be reached on xxxx. I will love to hear from you very soon. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi, I don't know anything about SINP OID. Maybe ask on the PNP thread.
Good luck

etrange:


LMAO!

Ifeoma, that mischievous cat seems to be mocking me!

I am sure slimmed down during your own waiting period.

I was this close to going to look for sleeping pills.
Now, I hit the snooze button like 4 times before I get up
Don't fight what you're feeling, the only way out is through. Trust me, you'll survive it

etrange:
Guys, I need help !!!

I just recently did my biometrics. What I need now is advice on how to take my mind off anything CIC/IRCC/PR/Canada/etc. I need to concentrate on my job as I am in the middle of a huge assignment. The whole PR thing won't allow me sleep. Everyday, I wake up wondering if I filled this or missed that; I think of 101 reasons why my application might be rejected: I did not upload stamped pages of my old passport, can't remember if I entered my ECA number, my letter of non indebtedness was dated a couple months before the date on my statement, etc. And then I start panicking and most times end up not achieving anything tangible that day and the cycle continues. This is madness. I can't deal!

You will survive

Stencil:
Ifeoma. I finally saw it... sigh
The emotions.
The uniform oohs and aahs in the theater
The applauses
And then it came, like the rushing of a mighty wind... The thunderous "NOOO!"
Strangers looking at each other in confusion. What just happened?
Bags of popcorn seeking solitude on the soda stained floor.
And just like that.. it was over.

You are an excellent movie reviewer

Cheta55:

Please everyone, I have been asking this question and no one is responding, the thing is that my friend has HND and OND and she doesn't want to use WES for some reason so now she want to know if ICES evaluates HND and OND as two or more certificates just like WES is doing, please someone should answer. Thank you for your response

Someone once posted the ICES ECA for ND and HND, the equivalency stated there was turninoniown.
She is better off going with IQAS

Godisincontrol:

Snowy day in Edmonton today

Stencil:
aaww I'm soo careful coming to this thread. The spoilers .. sigh. I better get myself to the theater ASAP.

Sis!! Go with hankie, real one that can mop up tears not the crap they sell in traffic these days

Topsmamen:


See famzing o!

Ifeoma, abeg! abeg! abeg! You cannot comman be serving 2 masters. Biko stick with your agbaya Thanos

nope! I've moved on

joo2018:
Haha

Canada ain't seen nothing yet.

PPR
When we hit six months, frustration almost set in but we decided to live our life especially with the funny timeline you see with AVO.
Then an update came in on 18th April 2019 that background has started and one cool morning around 10am while having breakfast on a post easter break, the golden mail came on 24th April 2019.

I want to thank everyone once again, I will like to mention @ joo2.018, @ ms.modi, @ ex.quisef, @ Jose.fuadjr, @ Ra.mj, @ dak.s02, @ Newmu.m0615, @ Peg.zzyg, @Ifeo.ma77, @ de.Timo, @ flyb.oi1 thanks guys.
Total time from AOR to PPR was 6 months plus 2 weeks
Lesson learnt:
1.Power of unity (spouse agreeing and doing same on time, its time and chance o)
2.Ask for help and follow your gut. If you doubt your gut follow popular advice o, there is safety in multitude of counsel
3.Lastly, this thing will test your patience, if you think you don’t get frustrated easily, then this will prove it especially if your application is being handled by AVO. In all, trust God for his guidance and help, also do PM to able people some times if your question may sound ridiculous.

This write up was inspired by my spouse, I still like bullet point sha.

Best of luck to everyone, your PPR is a mail away, believe it and you shall have it.

Thank you all.

Wow!!!! Big big congratulations again and twale to your spouse!!!

Timeline :

AOR :September 23, 2018
Biometrics : October 23, 2018
Teary day in between when I realized file was in Accra.
ADR : The famous 5. Submitted March 10.
PPR: April 23, 2019. It finally came in the mid of a meeting. I was just looking at them all and writing my resignation mentally.

This morning, we have begun searching for flights. And I'm beyond grateful and dazed by God. I'm finally going to school in Canada. And it's on the best visa I could imagine ...

Morale:

Pray to God. He's alive.

Don't stop dreaming, you have no idea how many conversations I've had with Canadian professors and friends in my head.

While waiting, get better. Stay prepared. I honestly made alot of decisions considering my baggage in kg, if it will be useful in Canada...

Pray to God . He better be involved every step of the way.

Ask questions. Stay informed. Seek for answers. Seek for help...

Stay hopeful and positive. All those shit refusals are over now!

Pray to God. Thank Him. It's time for Thanksgiving. Whether you've received yours or not.

Thank you fam. Loads of love from a clinic, someone thinks a baby is on the way...

Amazing testimony!!! Congrats and congrats

youngRx:


honestly, it's scary to imagine what this thread will be like in the next 10months sef. especially with this generation of participants that are unwilling to share detailed PPR stories and those that don't even see the importance of sharing one in the first place.
That anyone will even oppose the idea of making people share PPR gists, and still get likes for it, makes me shudder. The psychological effect of those stories in easing the rollercoaster of emotions associated with this journey alone is something I'll forever be grateful for.

Already, the greats are leaving one by one. Mighty Newmum and her unmatched NOC skills is gone...now it takes a whole team of seniors to help people decipher their NOC. something she does singlehandedly o....lolzz.

Link master Smslive, Toj.ued the guru, & IELTS master wasseynewest have japa'ed. You hardly see their posts. Page one master, uncle Joo, will follow. soon, lord Thanos ifeo.ma77 will fade away with a snap of her fingers & prof Ralph will follow suite.

i just pray my PPR lands before Ladym.arshall , lord tops.mamen and the few others sustaining this thread finally leave.

between, where's To.jued the great? she hasn't said Hi in a long time.

OMG!!

TFCfootball:
Hello house good afternoon.
I have a sibling who wants to migrate to Canada. She has just bachelors in history and diplomacy studies and she is a fashion designer (a tailor). Please what is the best route for her to migrate to Canada? Is there any province that has demand for tailors?

Should she get her masters first?

She attended college of education but left in penultimate year, so no degree was awarded. She also did a pre degree program.

If it's not too late, she should see if she can finish up that college of education degree. BSc is not enough

Upton:

Thank you so much. This means I can actually quit and then inform CIC. I wont have to face going to AVO for an interview.

No you won't Abeg. It isn't a crime to quit a job.

joo2018:
.

Just take a look at this dude;
Naturally occurring horns crown
Eyes to die for...literally
Nose like a Roman god
Lips carved by angels.
His royal yumminess...
A villain worth cheering for, cool as a frozen cucumber, never breaks a sweat, never taken by surprise, never lost a battle.
Just calm steady ruthless annihilation

Tried that. Won't work. Numbers only.

Wow. What of 1.6
Or just use 2

know:
Hello fam, I'm a lady that started my canadian process as single. I just got married this April but my biometrics and medicals have already been done and background checks have commenced. I have already discussed with hubby and we concluded that I should finish my processing as a single and land in Canada first as POF for two will increase. Then start processing as a married for him when I have settled in. My question is, hope it won't affect anything, what if I get pregnant, and how long does it take after landing to file for spousal support. Please advise house.

When IRCC said you should inform them of changes in your family configuration, it wasn't a suggestion. You don't have a choice in the matter, if you hide it, they will find out, revoke your PR status, slap you with a ban and ship you back to Nigeria.
Please raise that CSE asap and go hunting for the extra POF

Topsmamen:
Guys, it's okay to make our points known but it's equally important to know that opinions shouldn't be forced as everyone has different levels of perception. We should also understand that our opinions are as important as that of the other person, none is more important than the other.

There's no right or wrong here. So please, let's chill and enjoy what's left of the time we have. We won't all be here forever. Group hug people!

Ehen @Ifeo.ma77 and @ladym.arshall. Come and help me with this puzzle i've been racking my brain in trying to solve jare.

Who's stronger between Thanos and the Night King? The former cannot do without the infinity stones and the latter is powerless under hot sun.
*runs away*

Thanos cannot hold a candle to the night king!! I am actually rooting for him Every other person in Westeros is forming smart, quoting proverbs, scheming, bickering and claiming to be protector of the andals and first men. My guy is just carrying out his bada$$ mission without saying a word, killing everybody and looking sexy while doing it

Youtook:
Good evening everyone. Please, I need help. For those whose second degree was more than 1 year but less than 2, what did you input in the "total years of study" field when creating a profile? My Msc was 1 year 6 months & it says it has to be numerical.

Cc; @jo.o2018 @topsm.amen @ifeom.a77

I can't remember what i wrote tbh but what if you write it in months? As in 18 months?

TemiGee:
Chai, I like this lady... I use to like Ifeom.a77's before, now it's @Ladymars.hall lolz

Hehehehehehehe I like her too, she is doing the Lord's work

Stencil:
lol I know right! haha I read and re-read.. the formatting, the example... I really tried but I just couldn't.

jsquire:
Hello Everyone,

Please i need some answers for a friend. Her situation is quite uncommon.

She has 3 elder siblings in Canada who entered illegally (They crossed the border between US and Canada) for reasons best known to them and are now refugees in Canada. One of them just recently got her invitation to apply for PR with her 3 kids, after her court hearing while the others are awaiting court hearing.

Now she is afraid this situation might affect her application, because she recently applied for a visiting visa with her parents. Unfortunately, she was denied but her parents were granted visas. Denial was based on their lack of conviction that she would come back to nigeria after her visit despite the fact that she has been to other countries more 13 times (US, UK, Dubai etc); schooled in the UK and yet she never overstayed.

Now she's really confused on what to do. She also feels that her siblings in Canada might have influenced their decision because she listed their names in the family information section of her application. Please what can she do about this?

Will this be a problem for her? Thanks.

This is not a problem. She is not responsible for her siblings illegality, she should go ahead with her own EE journey

@ifeo.ma77 @Topsma.men

Get evidence from the PP

Topsmamen:


Lol. I meant have you googled "Thanos" and clicked his gauntlet on the right hand side of the page? Try it on a PC, the effects are more visible.

This is soooooo cooooool!!!!!!

Topsmamen:
@Ifeom.a77: have you seen what your super villain is doing to Google search results with the snap of his fingers?

That's my TGIF agenda today

What if the yams are washed thoroughly, I mean with the kind of thoroughness of an obsessive/compulsive?

Might work. Unfortunately no one I know has been brave enough to try
