Had to post this here to motivate someone

Landing gist, reader discretion is advised, long post,long post

Your favourite PM has landed o grin. So i booked my flight with Egypt Air July 12. Prior to that day i was struggling with my bags being overweight, i bought the digital weighing scale as advised by someone on my WhatsApp group. I weighed the bags and they both weighed 26kg and 23kg respectively. I began to ask myself, 'what did i pack like dis,who send me all this eru wey i dey carry. Note that i'm a single guy,ifeoma77 still dey do strong head so i had no goods to follow. I had to sacrifice my garri,removed some stuffs and tried to sort the bags. Eventuarry, they both weighed 23.9kg and 23.8kg respectively. At this point i was tired. I just told myself ama fi were port e ni o.

Fastforward to the D day. I got to the airport 9am for a 2pm flight. My family was to meet up with me from Ibadan.I just breezed past those Immigration at the gate, they didn't even look at me twice or called me. At about 10.30am checking in started, Alas my bags both weighed 49kg,olorun ayo mi o,wetin Local Pm go do like dis. I just talked to the guy and he told me dat i will need to sort him,i said no p. He didn't even mention a price, he showed me the exact counter to check my bags in else other counters are tiger counter. They won't allow it. I went there and the lady was like 'your bags are overweight',i just told her i have an understanding with the guy and she was like you shouldn't have an understanding with him, she sha reluctantly checked my bags in,i was happy ehn,that weight don show me pepper. I thought the guy had forgotten the 'sorting'. Naso he sent one guy to me after me as i was leaving the counter, i just gave that one the last 2k i had on me. I was happy to give him cos paying extra for the luggage would have been a dip in my pocket.

My family joined me and we took some pictures and had a moment. My brother in law is a security operative so he got one of his friends to help me with Immigration and customs guys. It was a breeze, most of them were like na our oga bring you here we can't delay you, i was feeling like a boss, JT things. Need i say that all those guys are just doing babianla, extorting money from people for no reason, awon ole ajibole.

Walked into the plane and i still be like shey na me be this, warri warri, i go enter Canada,their father. 5 hour flight to Cairo was just there, inflight entertainment was zero, food is minus 10 but local man was famished i ate it all except one white nonsense like dat. No leg room, the plane was just there. Most of the guys on board were heading to Dubai. We got to Egypt for a 5hour layover and boarding started. That was how the custom guys or who ever they are binned my body spray. Ojami lara je, oka milara. The guy no even look me twice, i just carried my kaya and left. Then the 12hour flight to YYZ began. Kai, after 5 hours i was tired,exhausted and almost cranky. It got to a point i was like who send me message sef,na me sha won go Canada. Ha, are we going to heaven, kilode,oti sumi. I felt a bit of discrimination, air hostess were only smiling to Arab or white guys. I will never fly them again.I'm like wahala tie niyen,today na today i go reach Canada today, they don't know whats going on haq haq haq haq. We sha finally landed in YYZ o,chai, oyinbo pple just full every where but i couldn't bask in the euphoria kan kan. I was tired and hungry, enu gbe. Did my Custom clearance, the guy was not smiling at all, one Lee guy like that. I'm like na u sabi, i don get this PPR para e. Final destination was Regina,so i needed to get my luggage and check them in again for my 3hr connecting flight. That was when i saw free trolleys everywhere. Trolley wey boys they use hustle for MMA. Chai Naija how far. I checked my bags in and went to the waiting section for my flight. I had 20CAD like that on me, i got a sandwich and water. The Indian lady said water is 352, i was like 352 ke, on top water,omi abuwe abumu. Shey i won buy kanji ni.She smiled and said its 3dollars and 52 cent then my body now calmed down. Na Canada language be that.

Finally landed at Regina, Air Canada flight was nice just the food selling. Me i just dey tell them i'm ok. I was not okay kankan. You won make i swipe my card for here,olorun oni fun yin se, with the POF wey boiz won manage. The guy beside me ordered one burger like dat,the smile just dey enter my nose but Local man, sorry International man just arranged himself.My host was already waiting for me at the airport. Regina is a nice and quiet place, not a big city like GTA but i'll live. They have been gisting me about the cold here and i'm scared already. My host have been extremely nice to me. Been taking me around town, done with my SIN, health card has been processed even got a library card, account opening to be sorted tomorrow. Na accomodation and job remain.

Guys how do you people adjust to time difference, i've been sleeping at Nigerian time and its been a real struggle,chai e no easy at all. 4am sun don show, 9pm e still dey.
But then, i am here and i believe my success story in this land is being written. Sorry for the long post.

Hello Everyone,


I have a slight challenge. I was refused PPR after 10 months.

The refusal letter stated that they couldnt establish the relationship with my sibling in canada and because i claimed points for him, my crs points was below the draw for the which i was given ITA.

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Bros why,soup wey don done,why go through such stress. Just do small ikenujo here and vamous. Wedding is weding wherever you do it in any part of the world.

Fellow citizens,so this is it...
I know most of you might not know me but my name should suggest something to you,right? Big thanks to all the elders that rocked part 3-5 with me,most of them are in Canada right now. Likes of @Kontagious @Happytbaby @newmum0615 the NOC expert,glitteringstar oh my star,i miss her ,mcstan18,threadstone,elfmann,cochtrane,erudite of our time,40manlappy,sleekysilk,DadR,Yookus,Virt,einsteino,Mummyjaygirls and Feygbe my good friend,we met on nairaland and we have become friends over the years, i cannot thank her enough for her immense contribution towards my app.

Ok lets cut to the chase,its finally PPR and COPR for the PM.

Decision to travel: December 2015 after my NYSC.

I started scrambling for foreign scholarships, engaging agents on how to obtain US visa with ease,how gullible i was then. I fell into the wrong hands and all my savings depleted. I even joined the students usa visa thread where the likes of lagosismyhome were elders then. Just know something today, agents are not your friend,all they wanna do is enrich their pockets. Fastforward to 2017,my brotherinlaw said he knows one agent that can help me with Canada, i was reluctant at first,agent again. I finally visited the guy in his office and he mesmerized me with juicy details about Canada and Australia,i met some gullible ones there too nodding their head like agama lizard in affirmation. He told me to write IELTS first and aim for a good score, he was not specific. I left his office that day thinking sebi its just English and this agents seem nice.

Wrote my first IELTS May 2017 scored 6,6.5,7,7 LRSW. I called the agent and he said its not enof,i was devastated and summoned courage that i will write another one. In the middle of it all,i kept calling my agent he stopped picking my calls,stopped responding to my messages,i visited his office he was just giving lame excuses that my assessment is not yet out. Chai see gullibility at his best all over me. He frustrated me to start reading on my own that was how i stumbled on this thread. I was chewing it like agege bread and zobo (ounje mechanic).

I wrote IELTS for the 2nd time August 2017 and that was how my frustration began. After 13 days BC refused to release my results. Ayeraye ninu awon orun o,they have come again o.They said my result was witheld for quality checks. Chai why me. Did i tell you i had to walk out of a toxic employment during this period. I was lonely,sad and depressed. 2 months down the line no results after several mails and calls. By November 2017,i visited their office and they appealed to me to be patient. Patience kwa after 3 months what if the score is not even worth it. I couldn't even write another one then as advised by folks cos i was broke.

IQAS dealt with me too,i won't bore you with that,see my IQAS timeline below.The next time i hear I before u hear Q i don run

ECA completed: 09/11/2017

Lo and behold my IELTS of 4months was delivered to my house 2 days after i received my ECA and it came out positive.

Listening: 8.5
Reading:8.5
Speaking: 7
Writing : 7

Come and see your PM cry of joy then,i was there was a Sophie by my side then,well sha maybe i will talk to Ifeoma77 about that later . I dived into the pool with #435. That was how IRCC decided to increase scores,CRS refused to drop. Which kain life be this. That was how i dug up my ATS and since IQAS does not evaluate professional cert i needed to cough out another cash for WES. I researched online if i can merge 2 ECAs as 2 or more. Happytbaby came to the rescue,God bless you Happy wherever you are. She advised i do a small table with name of institution, certificate obtained, year of study, assessment body and ECA number and back it up with LOE.

Fastforward July 2018 ICAN ATS cameout positive after months of back and forth. I dived into the pool with #468 scores. Thought i will get smooth 3 months processing as my file was in Ottawa. For where, i got PPR just few days to the 6months clock. At this time, i was no longer bothered as my patience gear was already on gear 5, i just told God to have his way and i continued with the waiting game. Glory be to God almighty.

Talkingboy:



Resolved . Evaluated as college-level certificate (one year)

Thanks to Justin.Tru, Ednu.t1 , bum.ea, Pssquare, bambam4.you , issy.man and others

Hello friend,please send me PM,lets talk

Talkingboy:
Good morning all .

I have been battling with WES for some time now (Since 2017) , and I need some help .

I have Bsc and ATS/AAT from Ican and I got my ECA Report in July 2018. All necessary correspondences were sent to Wes by Ican and they (Wes) confirmed receipt and verification of Docs/certificate. To my surprise , the ican credential was no where to be found on the ECA Report .

I made this known to them and they requested my certificate again. I did send it to dem and they've been saying nonsense since. The below response was what they sent to me yesterday .

Dear Mr. Talkingboy,



Thank you for contacting us with your concerns.



We reviewed your evaluation report and confirmed that it is correct.



World Education Services (WES) does not evaluate study from The Association of Accountancy Bodies in West Africa (AATWA). If you wish to have your Accounting Technician Certificate (ATC) included in your already completed evaluation report, please submit a copy of your certificate as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). Upon receipt of the ICAN certificate, WES will review and update the report as warranted.



We would like to emphasize that WES evaluations are advisory opinions and not binding upon any institution or organization.





Sincerely,

Director of Evaluations

The certificate ICAN gave me was what I have been sending to them since and they keep rejecting it . Do they want me to goan manufacture cert in OLUWOLE ni ? because I don't know what to do again .

Is there any Post 2013 AAT holder that has successfully crossed this hurdle ?

NB: I picked ICAN as d issuing body and not ABWA when I was filling d form.

Help Biko . Thank you .

With your selfless service to people of this thread and Nigerians you are hereby awarded the congressional Medal of honour, the Noble price for........, the woman of the year and za other awards that I don't know.

I didn't use WES for my first degree owing to the fact that i was not in the know that i can also evaluate both with WES at the same cost. I had to run to WES when draws refused to drop.

After making payment on WES site i made a request for my transcript quoting my ref number and when it was ready i was asked if they can send it(NIPOST) or not.I went to their office to pick it up and send myself.I just included a copy of my certificate in the brown folder.You can send it via fax too,its accepted.

I hope this explains it

WhizzyG:


I'm sorry for the many questions please.

After payment on Wes site, you headed over to ICAN office to request for your transcript if I'm correct, the transcript was handed over to you and you sent it to WES yourself right?

my question is did you include a copy of your exam certificate in a separate document and sent both together or you sent separately?

If you sent separately, on each documents, did you indicated that it contained your Transcript/Exam Certificate or just their address and your reference number?

Was that the same way you sent your School certificate and transcript as well?

Please I just need to get this clearly, there is no room for mistakes

Hi Wiz,my DOB was bodly written on my ECA from WES.So i guess they got it from my transcript,can't say for sure.Maybe from registration details on their portal,i wouldn't know.

I didn't open my transcript from ICAN so its hard to tell if DOB is written or not.

Cheers mate

WhizzyG:
EyesondPrize , JustinTrudeau , melarose and every other person that used ATS,

Is date of birth written on The transcript or any of the document sent by ICAN to WES?

Awaiting answers please, as I have an issue regarding my year of birth on my records.

So sorry about this my friend. Since you don't know for sure what really happened and ICAN's response to them.Just have ICAN resend a verification mail to them stating that your certificate and transcript is genuine.Even if you write WES they will still need a confirmation from ICAN.
Everything will be alright

melarose:
So I managed to get a bit of what the problem was regarding my ATS evaluation. Apparently Wes did send a verification mail to ICAN on July 3 and they attached d body of my transcript and examination certificate for ICAN to respond that it is authentic but somehow I think the person responding stated that it is not their membership certificate. I really do not know for sure what the exact response was coz d man I spoke with at who I believe is in charge of verification at the idowu Taylor VI office did not say much. Now I have the mail Wes sent to ICAN and the attachments too, what do I do now should ICAN re-verify that email? Or do they have to call Wes? Do u think this can be rectified at all especially since this certificate has been removed unjustly from my Wes account timeline, is it possible for Wes to add it back? Am so angry and confused at the moment I don’t know who to face first Wes or ICAN and what to do exactly.

Happy Baby to make sense Thank you

happytbaby:
PM to sure! congratulations

Many thanks

Congrats PM.

The official Canada Mummy...Munchas Gracias

Yaaay!!! Congratulations Honourable. Issa goal!

Tanx Jola-ade,love that name,reminds me of someone
[quote author=jholarharde post=69703085][/quote]

Which courier service is that?? The transcript is packaged inside a small white envelope,just like a letter.So why would they want to know the content.I used UPS @ Gbagada for mine.They even gave me a brown envelope to package it well and they are well familiar with sending transcript to WES Canada as its not their first time.

psquaree:


i just contacted a courier service and they said they must open it to assess the document to know whats inside. please what can i do about this because i don't want them to open the transcript. Please what can i do ? shld i go ahead and use the DHL or i shld stick with ICAN using NIPOST?

Please help me out

Elfmann na man you be,thank you

Elfmannisback:

Congratulations!

You are blessed Wignut..thank you

Wingnut007:
A big congrats to our PM. Wishing you swift processing with a positive outcome.

GlitteringStar:



Yippee!!! Congrats PM.

Unfortunately i do not know the number of weeks,you can call them to confirm.And about the risk of using NIPOST i can't really say,may be some other persons that have used NIPOST in the past can weigh in

Cheers

psquaree:
Please how long does it take for NIPOST to deliver the AAT document. I can wait for 3 weeks cos my IELTS exam is in 4 weeks...Please would you still advice me to go ahead with the NIPOST since i'm not in a hurry.

Thanks

ddymples:
whao. couldn't help but smile when i saw your post.

congratulations. we still dey wait for upcoming draws.

Team #439. it is well.

Hello fellow Citizens, your PM has been invited to Apply. .The mail just flew in like Ragnar's bird

So this is how it feels,damn soothing .
Glory to God.

Team 468

Thank you, thank you thank you.

Hello Mr P or Rude boy ...Its the normal process for ICAN to send the soft copy 1st.

Please pick up your phone right now and call the person in charge not to send through NIPOST.You will be subjected to weeks of waiting endlessly for the transcript to get to WES. It can even get lost in transit and worst off you can't track it.

Go to their office,collect it and send it yourself via courier.3days max its already in Canny,you have to shell out few nickels though.

Don't try to open it i repeat do not open the envelope,just package it and send it the way ICAN issued it to you.

The PM has spoken

psquaree:
please i need a little clarification on this.

I requested ICAN to send my AAT result to WES but they sent softcopy first and said they are waiting for WES to send a verification message that they have gotten the softcopy transcript before they would send hard copy to WES. is this the right procedure?

2. ICAN wants to send my AAT transcript via NIPOST is it okay cos i heard NIPOST takes a lot of time.

Please help me address this thank you.

As the PM i need to congratulate Osaze specially.Trust me no one wants to work in a toxic environment,i've been there and i know how it feels. Osaze defied the odds took a bold step and walked out of it.See how God has compesated you.

Go and flourish in my country

I'm considering you as part of my cabinet,your bravery is unparalleled.

Your PM

PM the PM please

melarose:
Ok I will do exactly as you have said. Kindly help me with the contact you have at the oyingbo office so I can call. I have one woman’s number but not sure she can be gingered the way I need this speedily. Thanks

Amen..Thank you Star,i'm always in awe of your bright mind and good heart.
