mobenjackson:


Here goes my PPR story...i decided to do this in an album way cus this journey showed me shege.

Album title: Memoirs of a tayad Nigerian.

Artiste: Moben Jackson

Featuring: Gateway polytechnic Igbesa, Yabatech, IELTS, WES, IRCC, CanPR app, DZC-CAPITAL, First bank of Nigeria, CamScanner, Covid-19, DHL, FedEx, Barter by flutterwave, Qlife, IOM, Police HQ Alagbon, VFS Lagos, Passport office Ikeja and most importantly GOD and my family (parents & siblings).

Executive producer: Moben Jackson

Album length: 15 months

Track 1: The ambition - i have always known i won't stay here, after being let down by a friend who gave me wrong info about my HND being regarded as just 2 yrs diploma in 2017, i forgot about Canada express entry to face life head on. Man must sha work and chop as I wasn't getting younger.

Tracke 2: The beginning ft Nairaland - early 2019, i joined a whatsapp group discussing EE and i was interested in the japa thingy, that's where i got to know that being an HND holder, i qualified for 2 or more certificates evaluation, imagine the emotions i felt (anger, happiness, anxiety and the likes). I wanted to be so sure so i made nairaland my home, and my oh my! The plethora of info here is wilding, i kept on asking if what i learned about my HND was true and i was convinced it was. I was so angry at myself for not making research as at 2017 that this anger transitioned till my birthday in May 2019 and i think that was the worst birthday of my life cus i kept of regretting why i didn't do any research back then (guess why - 30th birthday was just about 3 years away, bt as an overthinker that I am, panic full body), coupled with the draw which eventually happened i think May 29th after a break of 4 weeks instead of the normal 2 weeks(this was the first of the 4 weeks ITA draw pattern). You shld know that as 30th approached with maxing out IELTS-exam, i could only attain 474 and the ITA on 29th of May was 470, so i must max out at least 3 components. And with the gist of IELTS (humbler of great men and women) i had read on this platform, omo ×100000! Fear grip me.

Track 3: WES ft Gateway polytechnic Igbesa, Yabatech, FedEx & covid-19 - i gathered money cus my job wasn't paying well, so i started the whole stuff in June 2019. I gave a lecturer to help me follow suit in my ND school (gateway poly) bt he became the devil and squandered my money while telling me lies. September 2019, i started Yabatech waka, and it was smooth kinda cus i knew a lady working in E&R who was my HND level junior back in 2012. She helped and i shook her hands accordingly. By January 2020, Yabatech has verified and the likes. See me, see trouble o, ND transcript never ready. Na so i carry myself, collect 1 day leave, enta ogun state, na there i see say den dey bobo mi after giving this lecturer over 40k. Well i took myself up and paid again and monitored it till it was sent. Then wahala promax cun shele, ND school no see verification, thought it was a joke. WES sent verification after 7 weeks, infact i was in E&R and also on call with WES agent when the 2nd mail eas sent, omo we no see nada. As i dey try calculate, covid-19 shele, i had to courier the verification from WES down to my school, and greased palms for it to be signed during the whole lockdown protocol bwtn Lagos and Ogun state. Went to collect it and sent it to WES. It got to WES June 5th 2020, report came out the following day. I dived into the pool with no life jacket same night o.

Track 4: IELTS ft British council × 15k remark - i practiced like my life depended on it as i didn't have money for another exam. I met some good folks here who gave me something to add. I wrote exam Feb 13th, 2020. I felt confident i wrote well, bt on the 27th, i got a shocker around 3am and saw L9 R9 S7.5 & W6.5...gbagaun! I couldn't sleep and i dey go work, Jesu, oko ijo oh! As i reach work, i resumed at BC office in Ikoyi, paid for remark and did plenty follow up mails. Remark came back changed W7.0. So when i dived into the pool, CRS was 471 baby! I was relived.

Track 5: the wait for ITA - i sha dey wait make draw start, by July 2020, na so i get NOI from Ontario o with NOC 1141 (other financial officers) bt as i be HND grad, i couldn't take it, coupled with i wasn't too sure of that NOC. So i bone am. Gegeun! Draws resumed bt it was done in a pattern of 4 weeks, omo! Na so panic set in, i had to rewrite another IELTS, just to max out bt alas! MOD photocopied my 1st result and made me stand still at 471. I missed the draw of September 30th 2020 due to tie breaking rule, still thinking it was gonna be 4 weeks before another draw. God surprised me with ITA on 14th October 2020. I jubilate like say Lionel Messi score goal (kneels down, kiss fingers and points to the sky).

Track 6: Submission ft. DZC-capital, CanPR app, First bank, Barter by flutterwave, Qlife, Police HQ for PCC and Camscanner - i gathered my docx, used 100% gift deed from momma, same day i invested the funds at DZC-CAPITAL, got all reference letters and just a day statement which showed transfer from my mum to me and to the investment house, took passport with camscanner. Paid only app fee with barter card as 9ja banks dey move mad and submitted Nov 26th 2020.

Interlude.... Now the wait truly began!

Track 7: The tormenting wait ft AVO, gcmsnotes, IRCC and my temper - i ordered first gcms notes by February 2021 after i had passed medicals and done my biometrics early January. Omo! gcmsnotes showed March ending and nothing was done. Well i no fret, another gcmsnotes by July 2021, still nothing done. I remember when i got the 2nd gcmsnotes, i was so angry that i worked tru the night and didn't sleep cus wtf! Why did AVO not touch a file for over 8 month. Very sick set of people. Na so i order another one by October 2021, that one decided to come January 2022.

Track 8: Ray of hope ft GOD & Family - i forgot ircc and started learning new stuffs, sanity came and i became better. I was looking forward to changing jobs and setting up my apartment to taste till when i get PPR which i was saying by 2nd half of 2022.

Track 9: New year, New resolution ft RROC-OTTAWA - Jan 14 2022, i started hearing stuffs that files were transferred from AVO to a special office called RROC-OTTAWA, and i tried calling bt didn't get tru till 17th, i was told my file is in this new office and a note called "support review" was left on my file dated 14th. Eligibility and Security not started still. I sha thanked God my file has been moved away from the evil ones.

P.S: i didn't join any post ITA groups for my sanity.

Track 10: ADRs - on Feb 8th, just few mins after calling IRCC and the agent said Eligibility and Security still not started, i got a mail less than an hour after. They needed proof of income from all work experience claimed, Schedule A and a new PCC. Meanwhile January 11th 2022, i done a new medical at IOM and it was passed by 15th. I did all needful by Feb 9th and submitted all ADRs by 10th.

Track 11: PPR - by Feb 15th, i got a mail for acknowledgement of ADRs being recieved. 16th, my ADRs were being reviewed and by night time, it became N/A (not applicable)...uhmmm... the anxiety was sky high.

Feb 17th 2022, by 5.03pm, i got a donotreply mail from IRCC, voila! PPR sitteth pretty inna d profile, ready for download.

It can only be GOD.

I will be landing April, surely i am coming to give y'all my landing gist.

Track 12: Outro ft COPR - the feeling is surreal oooo! You must experience it to understand what i am saying. No matter how late, this PPR is a national breakfast cake and we must all chop am! InshaJesus!

Thanks a lot
o9o9:



@lloid and graciousWords.


Figured the process now.

So it's straightforward.

Gather all documents required. Print out the vfs consent form from VFS UK site.

Fill for each applicant including minors.

Vfs Uk can send out of the UK zone only (i.e only Denmark, Nowary and Sweden) and not back to Nigeria.

Pay the Visa transmission fee for each applicant including minors(They confirmed you have to as the transmission is for the passport ) so every applicant has to be paid for.

Pay the local uk courier fee or outside Uk courier fee.

Get someone you have in the UK or any of the countries above and get their address. Print their details i.e Address on an A4 and add it to the Package).

Then go to your local DHL and ship to the UK vfs address. They would ship back to the address you tpyed out.
