Hello peeps,
Just an update that we got our COPR today!!

AOR: 10th October, 2017
PPR:23rd May, 2018
PP Submitted at VFS: 28th May
Application Approved: 14th June
Passport dispatched from Accra: 20th June
Ready for collection mail: 26th June
COPR and PP collected: 27th June.

I wish everyone waiting at one stage or the other in this Canada journey Godspeed.

It will end in praise!

On to the next phase....Whewww!.

Saintp:




Have your COPR arrived from Accra?

Not yet.

kamela:


After I submitted i did not receive any confirmation or any response via email, I have also not recieved the GMCS notes i ordered. I am so confused on what to do next because my application is not over 6 months...

Is there anyone in this kind of situation? please advise....

I know the wait can be something else(had to wait over 7months post AOR before PPR) but my advice is to be patient and put your mind at rest. D current trend with LVO nowadays is 7-8 months and don't expect any confirmation mail for the ADR. Just a little while and PPR will drop.

agates:
Good evening people. My LVO gang trust we are keeping well. I have a quick question, my passport expires in December. Application still pending with LVO, do I go ahead and renew and raise a CSE considering the fact that you need your passport to have 6 months validity before visa can be issued. Thanks

Please go ahead and renew your passport. Raise CSE to inform LVO once it's out. Godspeed!

Thanks a great deal. Really appreciate!

Hi guys, nice to port from the express entry thread to this one. Expecting my COPR in a couple of days and I need some information to aid in my planning for the final movement to cannyland. I plan to settle my wife and two kids in Calgary ( cos I would be doing soft landing while family remains behind) and I would appreciate responses to d following questions, especially from Calgarians.
1.Which community is most recommended to settle, in terms of safety, infrastructures, proximity to public transport and very good elementary schools?
2.How easy is securing rental apartments by new comers and d possible steps to follow?
3.Which bank is most highly rated for new comers to Canada
4. Most recommended mobile phone service/network

Since I don't have any contact at Calgary, would greatly appreciate any volunteer to assist us settle and adjust to our new community when we arrive.

Hope to get great contributions from d dependable nairaland family, as I did with the express entry thread.

GlitteringStar:



I didn't fill the form too. It is not compulsory to fill the form if there is no change in your family configuration.



Cc: Ken2sure

My thoughts exactly.
Thanks

I copied this from an earlier post. it has all the forms you need. Try it

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides.html

Thanks for the link. My confusion though, going by all the forms in d link u sent is whether it is compulsory to fill d form, or only if u have additional family info/ composition, as d instruction on d PPR letter seem ambiguous. Abeg, those that have gotten COPR should weigh in. E se gan!

wholesomegrace:


I think you are correct. I was typing with fury and we are referring to the same thing... letter, while I wrote email.

At least, on the VFS link, you can see N13,890. Then where is the additional courier fee coming from? That one is my bone of contention

I guess d extra charges must be a rackket. Anyways, where can I get d IMM0008 form?

That PPR mail only stated N14,350 [/quote] Confused here., My own PPR letter( not email) did not mention any price. Just opened d vfs link on d letter and what is stated there is even N13,890. Wonder y reference is being made to an " email" here o, cos I just got d normal" u have a mail in your account" , logged on and opened d attached letter as a pdf file( see attachment). Abeg oo.

My VFS EXPERIENCE (Long post alert)
Sorry for the long post, I just believe some one might benefit from my experience.

Thanks for the info.

Long post alert!!!

My PPR Story........

ITA: 22/09/17
CRS score was 433, ITA CRS Cut off-433
Knew from that point that God was favourably disposed towards us!

Med Exam: Children's practice, Ikoyi
The tension high small ooo, as plenty thoughts dey cross my mind that day( no be wetin u dey think sha)

AOR: October 10
Gathered all my documents a week after ITA.
Couldn't get ref letter in CIC format from employer, especially d JD part( my supervisor wrote and signed one for me though). Used only TB certificates as POF( said a prayer before pressing d submit key after filling and uploading all docs)

Med passed: Oct 22.....was as if I won lottery(lol)

Requested GCMS on January 23 and received feb 22....( could deduce file was transfered to LVO on 22nd Nov). A11.2 eligibility was passed already and both notes from program assistant and case processing agents were all positive( heaved a great sigh of relief cos i was worried about d NOC i chose but all panned out great). Knew at that point that it was just a matter of time( kept praying and fasting sha o for the VO to just accept d agent's recommendations without query)

Ip2: Feb 27... d mass movt day
started checking my account and refreshing my mail every single day from that day( u can imagine), hoping for PPR.

April 10...exactly 6 months post AIR, I sent a status update to LVO and got the reply that my file was awaiting review( was heart broken...haba, so my file just dey hibernate for close to 5months at LVO without activity). I ordered another set of notes same day and received on 6th May.........same old story, no update since file moved to LVO( At that point, I just wished I could appear at LVO and rant d whole place down, especially when latter AOR dates were getting PPR).

ALAS!!!!!The Eagle Landed at 10.48am this morning(U can imagine d drama that ensued in my office when I read d mail)

No ADR throughout d process.

So much more to say but make I end am here for now!

Indeed, He makes all things beautiful in his own time!

Thank u all for d contributions and information received during this wait time.

I pray your testimonies too will be complete IJN.

My people, abeg make una gather around !!

ednut1:
they would ignore the mail till u pay o

Not true. @ariegurl, PM me if u need my contact's details. Would get his consent first though.

ednut1:
they have started collecting 50 dollars

The 50USD is not official please!. Just did mine last week without paying a dime.

redocean:
Guys,

Please has anyone who sent passports to Accra around May 3, 2018 received any feedback on his/her CIC account or PUM from VFS?

I am getting impatient with them. After a long delay at London VO, now Accra seems to be taking their own time.

Haba! May 3 is just about 2 weeks ago. Abeg calm down. Make u thank God for your own ooo.

Ariegurl:
Hello guys . I am a silent reader. Please my husband has applied for evaluation of his certificate from Wes since last year and hasn't gotten any response. I have applied for mine too and it has just reached them . please guys (especially those that finished from UNILORIN) does universities(especially university of Ilorin) collect money before replying wes or something?or what could be the cause of the delay. Albeit my husband has written wes this morning . thank u Sirs/Mas in advance

Unilorin does not charge any fee for document confirmation sent by WES. However, if u confirm that your documents have been sent to them for verification, u need to confirm if it was sent during the NASU strike. if so, u have to get d details of when it was sent exactly so it can be traced.

Hi Guys, A friend just pointed me to this thread, i need some advice at this point.

I (Family of three) got ITA around September 2017, submitted the application on the 7 of November 2017.

I was sent a form to fill (Schedule A Background Declaration form) that asked for some details i had filled earlier such as work periods, etc. I submitted that on Nov 21st.

I passed Medical as at January, 2018, but after that i have not heard anything else. Its now Six months and 1 week.

Should i contact them? If yes, please what their contact?

Just order your gcms notes (from getgcms.com or any other org) and can also raise CSE using the web form on IRCC Website.

mosky47:
Please for those who have seen it, how does the ghost update look like?

I've checked page 0 and didn't find it as well. I'm just curious

"Ghost update" is when u log in to your account and see "updated" in d status column instead of "submitted", with no actual "update" in your account when you click on d status of application. Usually changes back to "submitted" once u log out and log in again.You won't get any mail for a "ghost update".

mcstan18:


We need to organize a vigil on this your matter. Who's joining me please? Where's that threemg thing and the kind hearted mummies here?

In fact, MFM style o. Funny enough, both notes from d programme asst.and case processing agent at CIO gave favourable recommendations with no red flags. Got moved to London on 27/11/17. E be like na "fall down and die" abi na "fire" prayer my VO deserve at this point.

Hello house, I am considering using an immigration agent by the name Iwajayi, u want to know if anyone here has used their services before and how genuine are they..honest reply please

May I ask y u intend to use an agent? The truth is u would end up doing most of d job for which u hired and probably paid an agent for such as PCC, medicals, ielts, Wes etc. The agent would only upload these documents for u and probably help fill d application( for which u face d risk of d agent filling wrong info or omitting something). I urge u to research, take advantage of the step by step guide this forum offers and fill d application/ processing by yourself. Ask questions whenever you get stuck. Using an Agent won't give u any advantage whatsoever. Its safer to take RESPONSIBILITY for your own application. My 5cents.

[/b]Hi guys,

Just to share the information I got today. I was @ VFS Lekki to submit my Passport, the man @ the submission desk explained to me that my passport will be sent to ACCRA, and I will have to pay #14,350 for each passports attached to my application.

I explained to him the PPR mail I got and how I assumed my Passport will be treated by the Lagos Visa Office. He then explained that the change only meant that passports can’t be sent to ACCRA directly through DHL anymore. Everybody will have to go through VFS.

Toh……they accept cash only@VFS

Cheers![b]

I started in Part 2 of this thread, today it has ended in praise in Part 4. LVO kept me for close to 7 months but I'm glad I finally got my PPR today.

It’s PPR guys……My God is ever faithful!
