Wawu! Speedy PPR for you!

Owlette:
So I have come to testify. It is not a PPR, ITA or IELTS testimony. Lol but for me it is a great victory!
Finally ABSU has released me from its stronghold. My ECA has been awaiting ORDINARY VERIFICATION since February 2018.
WES has finally acknowledged receipt of the said verification. I'm so excited! ECA to be completed on the 12th of October. I'm beyond elated.

Recent posts suggests 1 month processing using Vfs Lagos/Abuja. You can check recent COPR stories on pg.1.

jelmusboy:
Please, what's the average time from receipt of passport by AVO to issuance of visa and COPR and back to the applicant?

Want to know before I request change of PPR letter from LVO to AVO. I don't want AVO hypertension

Congrats! Go and shine!

Work permit allows him allows him to travel and work. He can then do ielts/celpip, get his eca done and apply through express entry.

babstope05:
Good morning, nairalanders, a friend received a full-time job offer (arranged) from Calgary in Alberta. He is aware of the LMIA and work permit. My question is this should he, after getting a positive LMIA and obtaining a work permit, apply for a TRV or apply for PNP to Alberta? Please, i need an urgent response this.
Which route is best for him?

But you have the pdf, right? Why are you so concerned about the hardcopy?

beeodun:
Heya...They completed the ECA in due time but for the delivery;haven’t seen it yet and have sent them messages via their Contact Us on their website but no reply(s) yet.

Warm hugs!

As long as a decision has not been made on your application, I believe it is still under processing.

A number of people have been reporting their applications transferred to Kiev from London. It might to be due to caseload distribution. You might need to request your GCMS notes as advised earlier.

MissAsa:
Hello all

I hope i am in the right forum. My case is a very unique one and i currently do not know what to do. I would appreciate it if someone can help me in this forum.

I got my ITA in DEC 2017, submitted my application in March 2018. Since my submission, the cic has asked for several forms and documents which i have sent to them before the deadline. However, they asked for some documents to be submitted by July 14th, due to an error on my part, i uploaded the documents on the 9th but didnt sign, so it wasn't submitted. I realised my error and submitted on July 29th. I wrote to them via a webform explaining this and they replied saying that they have acknowledged the receipt of the documents but didnt state if the delay in submission will be an issue. Currently, my 6 months bracket for the PR application has been exceeded and my background check has not started. I called the canadian office and was told that my file was moved to the London office. I contacted the london office but i am yet to get a reply. I called the canadian office again and they are currently saying that my file is in Ukraine.
I am confused, please can anyone on this forum help me with a suggestion or a contact that can investigate my case.

Congrats! May your new home favor you.

PPR - SEPTEMBER 19TH

Legal basis or qualification? Do you have any evidence of a training program at work or on-the-job training? Maybe it may help.

DaddyTheFather:
hey people...rookie question coming through abeg...

Precisely what legal basis do nigerians have for working in audit for PWC or KPMG for example, if they dont have ICAN yet (which many I know dont have because they got into PWC even after graduating from engineering degrees). asking cos ADR says to supply this information and I need guidance on how folks that have applied as auditors did so. any input is appreciated. applied under NOC 1111.

Congrats.

Again, it is PPR. LVO Gang

I need help ooo. I'm not currently in the UK and have been requested to send my passport to London. I'm in Nigeria now, how do I inform them to allow me send passport to Accra for visa and COPR?

Help my hustle finish ooo
@Newmum et al

I will come back for timeline posting

Kai! The number in the pool keeps rising, more than 90,000 now. Most with very little hope of getting ITA.

No, only children dependants unless you or your spouse are claiming points for siblings in Canada.

Check the link below for the documents you need:

cannydad:
Does spouse need to get Attestation of age? PA already has.

You only need your passport. It is dependants that need birth certificates.

However, pls do the affidavit and keep it. Who knows when you will need it?

woaini:
I don't? Then I can shove the worry away na.... like I said I am gathering all documents before hand, felt birth certificate is one of the required documents. If it's not then I am good to go abi?

Me like the spirit.

melochic:
@ smslive
I did my biometrics today. What will follow next please? Thanks in advance.

Lol. This is Nigeria.

The PPR is for your friend, right? Congrats to him.

Hopefully when he gets the gcms notes, you will update us on the final evaluation of his work experience and his CRS score and the notes made by agents/officers.

grammy010:
Hello Fam,

So I brought a certain issue here sometimes ago where a friend had mistakenly filled in 3 years as his work experience whereas he had just 2 years and 10 months. I made it clear that such mistake occurred while he was filling his questionnaires and was also carried over when he submitted his application.

PPR Sept 17

Thank you all.

On or before Monday, 21 October 2019

raphrulz:
That's very true. Means there are a lot of people in this journey now that requires you booking far ahead. I think some people even do their pre-ITA.

BTW... pls landed seniors, when is the next election coming up in CA, make we know as we go take intensify our prayers make our application sail through faster.

Baba God, na your hand we dey oo!!!

Outcome of restricted access to medicals in Nigeria. People should stay woke and always plan ahead. If the number of panel physicians doesn't increase again, the waitlist will keep going up. Last month wait-time for Qlife was 4wks now it is 5wks.

Kods1900:
If you’re post ITA and you haven’t scheduled an appointment for your upfront medical exam, I suggest you do that today (For Lagos only).

Next available date for;

Q-Life is 23rd of Oct

Children’s Practice is 10th of Oct

And IOM is 3rd of Oct.

What to do: relax.
Hopefully, it won't reach 23 days for him as someone posted it did for him/her recently.

ChinenyeT:
My Hubby's eca is due for today, but we haven't seen the mail. Is there anything we are supposed to do before we get the mail.
Thanks

IMO, it is not a big issue as it is informal and there are no gaps in your employment record. Unless in light of the story yesterday, you have made a big deal of it in social media or it is so recent that it shows regular payment in your 6 months statement of accounts.
My 2cents. Others can add.

teatoe:
Not at all. My job experience was adequate with my full time job!

Ran close to a year, got paid. Nothing formal!

@mazuide! Enjoyed your contributions earlier in the thread and suddenly you were offline. Hope your studies are going on well.

Did you leave any gap in your employment history, was the work paid for and how long ago was it?

teatoe:
Dear All,

Kindly assist as i think I may have goofed in this regard. I had a brief stint with a small consulting firm as a part time gig for close to a year and didn't disclose owning to the informal nature of the job. I am currently in IP2 and need to know if it would be necessary for me to raise a cse at this point or just let it go! Please your candid opinion will be highly appreciated

This your prophetic ministry sha!

smslive2:
I have just been reliably informed that you will get MEP and BIL next week... Calm down Feezeel

For all those concerned about processing timelines, a point:

September is a month of double processing for IRCC. It is a month when 4 ITA rounds eAPR submission deadline expires.

90 days: #92 – June 13, 2018 and #93 – June 25, 2018
60 days: #94 – July 11, 2018 and #95 – July 25, 2018

None as far as I know. Your Nigerian drivers license does the needful. The IDL is only valid as long as your normal license is valid anyway.

cntabs:
Good day house,

Please I'd like to know what the benefits of getting the international drivers license before going to canada?

thanks
