Please seniors in the house.

This is not a change in employment. That is because of verification purposes. In this case you are not taking up a new employment. Your 5 years cover the experience needed.

Many thanks bro, it was clearly stated on their site that changes in employment status should be reported. see this link https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Hello Guys,

Have a little concern, I am 5th of March AOR and my application will be 6 months by 5th September.
I intend resigning from my office by the end of this month July, decision was made because my employer is aware of my application for canada PR and he has already hired my replacement to handover.
I also want to take the remaining time prior to my application approval to start preparing for my NCA licensing exam in canada being in a regulated profession.

My question: Is it ok for me to resign before getting PPR, I hope it wont affect my application.
I intend raising a CSE to inform CIC immediately i resign with explanations.
And I already have over 5 years of working experience which makes me eligible Pre ITA and Post AOR.

thanks.

MY STORY
The journey ALMOST started in 2016, I was duped by an agent who told me he will get me a job offer, and after I had coughed out hundreds of thousands of naira I knew I was just wasting my time so I gave up and forgot about the whole thing(then I didn’t know about this thread). Sometime in March 2018 my friend and classmate got her Visa and travelled, I was shocked. How? I asked. Well apparently if I evaluated my document with PEBC instead of WES I would have the same score as someone that has masters (the foolish agent didn’t even know this). So without wasting much time I applied with PEBC. That was when JOHESU decided to go on strike which further delayed my Document evaluation. It took me 8 months to get my ECA by then I had already gotten my IELTS. Do NOT be deceived by this statement, it took me 3 attempts and plenty heartbreak by BC before I got my desired result. On 23rd October I created my express entry profile. I had booked my medicals for 26th October with Children’s Practice. I remember some people on this forum were crying about that at the time but I no send them. I did my Medicals on the 26Th October and got ITA on the 29th Oct, 2018.
The race for POF was real. I had prospective buyers for my business but I did not want to sell until I was sure. And so once I got my ITA I initiated the sale of the biz. However this only generated about 60% of POF (family of 4) the balance was gift deed. I submitted my application and got my AOR 23rd Nov. I remember monitoring the MEP/BIL receipt on our Nov AOR group and I was so sure of the time frame I will get mine that I even went ahead made travel arrangements to go to Lagos. I was supposed to travel with my brothers after the Xmas celebration, Do my Biometrics on 7th Jan before coming back to Ph. On the 2nd of Jan I remember when I saw the update mail I heaved a sigh of relief and opened my profile expecting to see MEP/BIL and what did I see? YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN CANCELLED. My heart literally stopped for a few seconds. I quickly downloaded the letter and I saw the reason they gave was I did not upload my marriage certificate. I raced to view my submitted application and lo and behold the second item was marriage certificate and In place of it I had uploaded police certificate. I must have gone through that “view submitted application” like 10 times before that day and I did not even spot the mistake. To say I was devastated was just an understatement. At the same time I was disgusted with myself like how could I have been so careless. I remember talking with Ramj and he was just encouraging me but I wasn’t even hearing cos my ear was ringing so loud. Thank you @Ramj, you won’t know what your support meant to me at that time.
Well, I had to start all over again. I entered the pool again and waited for the next draw. God just pitied me and I got ITA again and this time around my AOR was Jan 25th. If it was now with their crazy draws I don’t even know what I would have done with my meager 444. After I submitted my 2nd application I actually had panic attacks asking myself what if I omitted something Again. To make matter worse I got an update in my account on 6th March; MEP but no BIL. Hmmmm the anxiety no be here on. I went through my application again and again and again; Then I noticed when I was asked have you ever applied for VISA before I checked NO- not counting my previously cancelled application. Na wah which kind life be this. I quickly raised a CSE explaining that I did not understand the question and uploaded the cancellation letter( it probably wasn’t necessary because the application was cancelled not denied). SIX days after I passed medicals I got my BIL; Wow, the relief!!!!!

THE WAIT AFTER BIOMETRICS
I somehow convinced myself that about a month after Biometrics I will get PPR, so from 12th March I thought latest April ending I will get My PPR which was fine because May ending my rent was expiring and I planned to travel as soon as I got COPR. You would think that the universe will pity me after the cancellation and give me PPR sharp sharp. For where… I found out my VO was OTTAWA, hmmm ok at least it’s not Accra. The silence in my account was deafening. I told myself no need to order GCMS notes before it comes my PPR will be out (Funny cos I still haven’t gotten the GCMS NOTES). The wait was CRAZY. I think the hardest part was the cluelessness. Like if CIC will tell me I will give you PPR Jan 2020, its far yes but at least I can plan accordingly, but this one what do I do. Do I renew rent? Do I ask for 6months? What if the six months comes and goes still no PPR. I don’t think in my life I have ever been as anxious for anything as this. I tried to distract myself; I registered in a saloon to learn hair dressing, it really helped cos combining it with my Job I always get home very exhausted and sleep like a log, and so time seemed as if it was flying by. That’s how Accra started Dishing out PPR Oh and Ottawa people went on vacation. Chai… No word, Nothing!!!! March passed, April Passed, May passed Nothing!!!! I got into the habit of raising CSE constantly, at least let it be as if I’m hearing from CIC. Lol. Until one time they gave me one generic response like that, I was pissed off eh. Hubby was like you too stop raising CSE Haba!!! I ordered GCMS notes that’s when GCMS buddy started having delays, I didn’t want to waste my lifeline and mail Ralph, so I waited. I can’t count how many times I opened my application and all I was seeing was Submitted!!! That Submitted can kill morale eh!!!

And then came PPR…
Finally someone mentioned in our Jan AOR group that he saw a ghost update so I causally checked and lo and behold instead of submitted I saw Application/profile updated. GHEN GHEN!!! Willy willy don show. Next morning no PPR Hian, I finally mailed Ralph. He replied about 6hrs later. Criminality passed, Eligibility and security check have not been initiated. Ok… its something…. That same evening another Ghost update. I was happy eh, that weekend we went and took passport (for those in ph instead of paying 2k @ studio 24 you can use Redkarpet its just 500 naira. Imagine family of 4 instead of paying 8k like we did when we wanted to submit our application we paid 2k). Finally 4 days after the second Ghost update I Got a 3rd Ghost Update. And the next morning the Golden Mail!!! I remember setting alarm for 2 am so I can check for the mail but my internal alarm woke me up around 1:45am, I just picked my phone to keep beside me for easy access and in the process glanced at it and I saw CPCO-Final Request. Oh the Joy!!!!! My profile was reading 42 days remaining…

I will like to appreciate those that have walked this journey with me, For my Nov AOR people I apologize for the abrupt manner I left the group, I was just too heartbroken to stay. @Ramj told me one day, once a Nov AOR member always a Nov AOR member. Chai, It touched me eh!!!

Then for my Jan AOR people, hmmmmm I should reserve a FULL page for you guys. You are just something else. Characters Eh, wonderful people, so warm, funny and giving. I have already met great people in that group and I just know we will be lifelong friends. Thank you for all the encouragements, the journey is not over yet, but with you guys by my side I’m not afraid. For those still waiting on PPR it will surely come just ready your shoulder pads…

Thank you my Nlanders, This forum gave me a wealth of information that made this journey successful, all the prominent contributors that keep this thread alive thank you for all the good that you do….
