EE PROFILE
In May 2018, a close friend, who I had earlier told about EE, called me to ask how far with my process. She said she had entered the pool and gotten ITA the week before and that I should better forget about the lawyer and start my thing myself.
(I remember when my mum and I told her about it in 2017 and she said she didn’t have any money for a lawyer and wanted to do it on her own. I Kept discouraging her and saying she shouldn’t use her hand to spoil her application and I even started getting angry in the process).



*I said first EE profile because I ended up deleting it. I had created it using an additional fake work experience to give me additional points. After ITA, I became so uncomfortable and my conscience couldn’t take it anymore so on the 31st of May I declined the invitation and deleted the profile. Fortunately, I created another profile with a new email and with all the correct details immediately and guess what? I had the EXACT same CRS of 443. I felt so silly and upset with myself because I could have saved myself sleepless nights and unnecessary headache by just using the correct information from the very beginning (I didn’t know about the CRS tool before creating my profile).
Unfortunately, I didn’t meet the cut-off for ITA in the next draw and when another draw date came again there was no draw. Then on June 25th, one very fine Monday evening, my friend called me and asked if I had gotten my ITA, that there was a draw that day and it was 442 (so close! Thank God!). A few hours after the call, I got the wonderful mail.

Then the main journey began…

REFERENCE LETTERS
I had worked in 2 other places before my current job (thankfully, I worked in HR in both companies so I had direct access to the people preparing the letters). My current company was the easiest because I was the one to do the letter myself hehe (it’s a very small company and we’re very few). I prepared the letter and gave it to my boss to read and sign.





With all these my uploading and uploading, I kept telling myself that my application is airtight and I’d get PPR in 2 months max LOOOOOOL. Anyway, COPR is here now and I have almost completely forgotten all the stress and I owe it all to God and the wealth of information on this thread.

I thank God for the unusual peace and patience I had during the entire waiting period.

MAY GOD CONTINUALLY BLESS EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP AND INPUT IN EVERY WAY AND I PRAY FOR SPEEDY AND SUCCESSFUL PROCESSING FOR EACH AND EVERYONE IN JESUS NAME.

CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE!!

Congratulations!!!

Thank you for sharing. God is really faithful

Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement. I will score you 6/10

Go and succeed in your new country

It's PPR guys!!!!!!!���������������
Praise The Lord!!!!
So I have been a silent reader on this forum and started from part 5 just after my AOR and followed religiously till the wait became too long and I didn't want to feel overwhelmed with other getting PPR and mine taking so long but in part 7 I read occasionally and said this is where I would testify and to God be the glory I'm here. I'll start with my decision to apply which was in May 2018 and went head on to reading for my IELTS and read and passed once ( to the glory of God) using only three website my score was
Reading 8.0
Writing 7.0
Listening 8.5
Speaking 8.0
As I was in the process of IELTS I applied for my WES and that was slightly smooth as I had to pay for tracking as nipost only prioritize mail with tracking so I eventually got it. The same happened for my PCC from the uk but I got it in no time
My time line
AOR -Sept 17 2018
Medicals/15 Oct
biometrics 16 Oct
From there a long wait began. in December I callers IRCC on application and heard review required and thought nothing till January when I order a GCMS and found review required for POF which was 21 dollars shorts of the minimum requirement I quickly sent an updated POF and attached a letter of explanation on the 13th of Feb and followed up with a call and they confirmed they had received it.

I also called again two weeks ago and spoke to a very nice rep who told me no cause for alarm that they were working on it as we speak.
On Monday decided to call and heard the doc was just added to my file on the 15th March and I was sad cus I thought it would take months.

And fast to today I just received my PPR. I want to thank each and everyone here for sharing their story and experience they have helped me through this trying times. There were days I would call my bf and cry and pray but in all keep hope alive and trusting God in this process. For those who might feel discouraged, sad or confused that there is no movement please have faith and trust God is working behind the scenes, for you. It will surely end in praise.

You are the way maker, miracle worker and promise keeper. Praise the Lord

55emem55:
Thanks for your response.
I'm still a bit unclear

I wasn't a manager, It wasn't even a managerial position. I reported directly to the Sales Manager.
It's just like someone who is a customer service manager, but reports to the operations manager.

My 2nd job title also has a Manager in it.
I haven't gotten to any managerial position before.

Please you guys should help me analyze this NOC issue

olabellruk:
Ah ah, aburo Ralph, kilode naa?

Your own don pass profesor own o. Make people like us dey practice with cambridge textbooks if we want to pass average with u.

Kudos Prof II

55emem55:
Thank you very much. Although I wasnt working as a Manager at the time. I was reporting drirectly to the Sales & Marketing Manager.

When I went through the JD for 0124, it stated that only Managers like, Sales Managers, Marketing Managers fit this NOC, that was why I didn't pick it.

I also have a 2nd work experience I'd be adding to my application to make it 3 years - Website & Social Media Manager, same NOC 1123 (I also report to the Sales & Marketing Manager)

Please can others shed more light on this?
I'm Pre-ITA.

jjohndoe83:
Same here. I told myself two nights ago on the drive home that I have to concentrate on my job and justify my salary. This Canada waka has really taken up my mind. I think of all future plans with this in mind.

I am practicing IELTS Listening like crazy. I think I must have done close to 50 tests in the last one month (if that qualifies for much). I was on a local flight over the weekend, as I settled in my seat before take off I brought out my practice book. I then made to borrow a pen from my seat mate, she looked at my book, smiled and brought out and MOD/IDP branded pen . I just started laughing loudly (and my loud laugh no be here.
I believe this will be worth it and it will end well for me and for you all in Jesus name.

jjohndoe83:
For a moment, I thought this was ralphrulz, then I looked again. You ehn, this your regime will be serious o. I better start researching how to write my PPR story... How have you been?

Congratulations!!!

Thank you for sharing. According to the marking scheme, you get 2 marks for that

For thanking us here for the assistance, another 2 marks.

But why didn't you go into details na? We want the flesh, meat and bones of your PPR journey, that is what make it interesting. So that is minus 1.

For giving us LOE on why you didn't give long story, you get the 1 mark back

For apologising to only Prof and not his assistant or the rest of us, that is minus 1.3

Total: 3.7/10

Wish you and your family the best in Cannyland. It has ended in praise for you

Thanks to everyone here, this thread was my home after work from when I found it post ITA till now. Also big thanks to those that always help others here, please keep up the good work. I wish everyone waiting at one stage or the other good luck and speedy processing .

It has ended in praise. To God be the Glory.

Good evening everyone, For those that want to increase their CRS points using BCS (Certificate in IT) examination, I have good news for you.

My evaluation with WES finally came out today, see screenshot below.

I also want to use this opportunity to thank @kemzyebony for drawing my attention to a post here about the BCS exam sometime last year. Trust me I was ready to go to NOUN or study for ACCA even though I don't have any background in accounting, lol.

See link below to join the BCS(Certificate in IT) Whatsapp group for more info.

Congratulations !

No time, quickly fill that form and submit; the earlier, the better!

amaya21:
There are people who got PPR using self employment as work experience. NJ that just shared her story did so. Check page 1 for PPR testimonies and go through them. You will likely need a good paper trail though - things like invoices, contracts, proof of payment, communication with clients, if possible references from clients etc. Put yourself in the VO's position and build a solid case.

I doubt this ITA-cutoff will come down to the 440s anytime soon.

457-454-452-450-458-456-453-451-460

Topsmamen:
So everything is intertwined. If Eligibility=Background check and Background check=Criminality and security then Eligibility=Criminality and security.

Ramj:
As the Bible says the End of a thing is better than the beginning thereof Ecclesiastes 7:8

Everyone this is what are all aiming at.

No giving up no holding back.

Whatever stage you are Keep at it, Keep learning and Go for it.

When you get these envelopes in your hand all the stress the waiting, the multiple IELTS attempts will wane in comparison to the joy you will feel.

Finally none shall be left behind in Jesus name.

Once again this thread has all you would need

Draw at 452. Congrats to @ladymarshall and other ITA recipients. For those awaiting their ITAs, let's keep our hopes up. The cut-off will eventually come down at some point.

ITS PPR/COPR guys!!! (Written 17th October 2018, 14th November, I put a PPR date range by Faith  but God had other plans, PPR came in Feb 26th 2019)


As I wrap up, I’d like to drop a few pointers on how I think I coped initially: I became an analyst! Moving from one site to another analysing trends, from immitracker to Canadavisa, to quora, Nairaland, facebook, Instagram, youtube…people of God what did I not analyse?! I did trend analysis from AOR to Meds passed, applicants’ progression to IP2 based on visa office, average number of days from IP2 to PPR based on visa office on Immitracker and Nigerians. Doing these put the edge off and made me relatively calm. You too can try it…you may come up with mere speculation or you might notice a pattern. Either ways, you’d feel like you’re doing something . I must confess however that as the days to PPR stretched, my staying power waned- especially since IP2 to PPR took close to 4 months. I wasn’t keen on analysing or even hoping. I realized that I depended more on past trends than I did on God and I needed to shift my focus. I decided to spend more time waiting on God than relying on my own understanding. Bottomline is, not everyone will have a short timeline. If for some reason yours takes longer, know that there is something God seeks to teach you. Know that God isn’t causing you to wait out of spite, He is instead teaching you to trust His delays and not doubt His ways. Waiting doesn’t mean you heard God incorrectly about this Canada PR waka. Waiting doesn’t mean your desire isn’t the will of God. Waiting doesn’t mean you aren’t praying enough (many times we know in our hearts that God will do a thing, the problem is usually trying to convince our head to be in tune). Waiting also doesn’t mean you do not have enough faith.

E-fam, I hope you find the courage to give IELTS one more shot, I hope someone out there finds courage to push harder to get that ECA done with and I hope someone there finds the courage in my epistle to do all it takes to make this Canadian dream a reality because this my people is now my REALITY.

Finally, Thanks to @Tojued @19cannymum and @Ramj for being there when I needed to rant and for the constant check-ins. To everyone- thank you for keeping this thread alive. I wish everyone the very best. God bless!

Please overlook any grammatical errors…na beg I dey beg…IELTS is over…for now
