Hi everyone. I'm just peeking in to see if I still recognize any old faces that are still a part of this community and helping out. Wish you guys all the best! I'm watching this space for those I need to help with updated info on this process. Keep up the good work.

Hello sis...

Reading through the different posts and comments here, I must say a lot has changed and evolved since Part 1 of this thread. It’s been 5 years, of being a PR and now awaiting Citizenship callup. Started the whole journey on here, right from Part 1 of the thread. This is wishing you Ladies and Gents all the luck as you prepare your apps and patience as you await results.

As a way to give back, I live in Calgary, AB and work in 1 of the top banks as a Senior FA. Anybody landing and needing help with accommodation, transportation from airport and info on basic banking needs on landing can hit me up. I may be able to make referrals or recommendations. It’s pro bono as well.

Once again, all the best y’all.

God bless you bros! I have sent you an email, but am not sure if you can see it. Pls drop your email so we can contact you . Mine; eeonyema@gmail.com . Thanks for your charitable works

ednut1:
they said ten years, why are you now asking about 11 years If you read page one well or cic website you would have seen that there are no points for spouse experience gotten outside Canada. so only state in in personal history after getting ITA- someone asked same question yesterday.

Ok.... Thanks!

Hello Gurus in the house!@ednut1 ,@Graciouswords @canadaishome

Pls advice on this scenerio;

As the PA or dependant that had a previous work experience 11yrs ago (corporate job) but has been self employed after resignation till date....

1) Should this past work experience be stated anywhere in the EE application?

2) Should ONLY the self-employed status be stated as it's within the last 10years. Hence biz docs, and references from clients to suffice?

3)Does IRCC conduct background checks beyond the 10years window for work/job verification?

Answers will be appreciated pls.....

PASSPORT TIMELINE; FAMILY OF 4

Applied online....May 7, 2022
Captured....July 15 and 25, 2022
Collection....Sept 16, 2022
Office ...Ikoyi

STRATEGIES
1. Patience! Patience!! Patience!!!
2. Tracked the status often on their portal....It was in PRODUCTION stage for 4wks! Not reliable!!
3. Sent emails to passportreforms@interior.gov.ng for escalation
4. Tweeted , Retweeted and tagged relevant handles; @nigimmigration
5. Met the PRO, an efficient lady, fair and slim who delivered excellent customer service to all those with complaints.

It ended in praise as I no give shishi [/b]to anybody despite their drama and deliberate delays

Congrats to all who have followed this [b]DIY route and collected successfully.

Samuelobiora19:


I think there is another way out, which is unpopular..A lady said she included her husband as accompanying after getting PPR as unaccompanied...She said it is legal tho not popular among people, maybe you can tow that path... You need to get ITA as soon as possible with that score as changes to EXPRESS ENTRY would commence from the 1st quarter of next year.. Good luck

Waoh! Pls how does this work out?
Is the EE profile still active after getting ITA and accepting it or PPR?
If you add your spouse AFTER PPR, does it require IELTS and ECA ?
Pls @Graciouswords @makano @ednut clarify.....

BrosMayowa:
Finally got my passport last week Tuesday. God go punish them for that Ikoyi. Anyway, anybody expecting anything from Ikoyi at this point, forget about fast track o. There’s no such thing for now. They’re following strict approval to clear backlogs from Abuja.

Maybe it may change but the PCO is still very new so don’t let anybody collect your money in Ikoyi o. Enough said.

Also, if you track your passport and it’s in production, just go there to get updates or SERVICOM. I collected passport last week, and today it’s still showing production. Lol.

Waoh! Congrats ooh. #TeamIkoyi
Pls when did you capture? Was a text for collection sent?

@Graciouswords @makano and other self employed people here....

Pls can I get a sample/template of a Reference letter from a client?

Thanks !

GraciousWords:


Pls refer to page.......1 there is a link there (below and picture) about applying as self employed with details on what docs to provide and the experiences of other self employed folks.

CAC alone will NOT suffice. Your clients can write a ref letter. You cannot write one yourself.

#StudyPageOnePlease

Thanks for your response

Hello Gurus in the house

Pls what type of reference should be used by a self employed/sole proprietorship applicant who is the PA?

Who should give such reference?
Does biz registration certificates from CAC alone suffice?

I would appreciate answers pls?

Hello Gurus,

How should this scenerio be handled?

Tope applied for admission through study route for Sept intake while still in Naija in April....

She also applied for PR through Express Entry/PNP and entered the pool in May.....

She got ITA and Nomination in July, and PPR in August. She landed in Canada 1week to school resumption....
COPR +Study permit

How will she adjust her status as a landed PR from an international student with a study permit? What are the processes or consequences ? Is this even possible

Answers needed to solve this puzzle!!

Hello everyone

Thank you

And on the 8th day, Satan invented manual labour: (Government is not reason... Government is Force!)
Hello. It's been nearly 2 months since I landed and this is an update that I feel dovetails nicely with the recent discussion on government/citizens. Against all advice, I proceeded to do Ogoaja work! I wasn't pressed for cash, as my POF was largely untouched, and accommodation wasn't an urgent concern either, as I still had 2 weeks left at the Airbnb I booked. I had a couple of interviews for desk jobs/customer service lined up but I took the physically-demanding option for character development (make the story for sweet when I dey narrate my own odyssey ) and every day I wonder if I no be suffer-head cause, mehn, the work is hard.
Right from day 1, my employer was very concerned about my safety. 'Take breaks', 'tie your laces', 'don't hurt your back', 'don't carry too much stuff', 'if you need any help, call me' etc etc. I must admit that it was a bit of a culture shock to me. Employer wey send your papa? Chinese employer wey send your papa for ogoaja work?? (My bosses are nice sha. Outside of work, they treat me very nicely too). I couldn't quite wrap my head around it. I also noticed that at every controlled intersection, motorists yielded right of way to me. Every time. 1 polite motorist, I can understand. 10? 20? No problem. But everyone? No na, the story no clear. I also walk past construction sites/projects daily and the safety routine is the same. Bright vests, hard hats, work-boots etc etc. When you factor in the complete absence of police officers in my area, you begin to wonder if you're in a simulation or na real-life. So I did some investigation and it finally made sense to me. I'll use an example to illustrate my findings.

Scenario: Worker at a construction site isn't wearing a hard-hat, safety shoes and bright-coloured vests.

Step 1:
Nigerian response: It's just another day at the office.
Toronto response: One passerby who doesn't know or care about the site and will probably forget about the site in 2 seconds flat calls the authorities.
Step 2
Nigerian response: Local government council comes to spray 'stop work' on your fence. You go to the office and settle the matter.
Toronto response: Government official comes. God wants to punish you that day so 2 more workers are in the same situation as worker 1. Official asks to see foreman. With a smile, "ogbeni ona don enter my hand today". Politely engages with foreman, shows remarkable empathy when foreman explains that rising costs of safety gear mean some folks don't have but they'll get it today, talks about inflation and how hard things are with foreman before proceeding to give foreman a ticket: safety shoes - $380, hat - $250, vest - $190, safety rope - $100. For each worker. Then the company pays the same amount. For each worker. All of a sudden your staring a $5000+ bill that you must pay or you'll face even stiffer punishment all because Ciroma, Chukwuma and Adekunle refused to wear safety gear. Errhm, don't try to settle with the official cos na prison straight. Just respect yourself and pay to the government account.

If you drive like Dominic Torreto and cause accident, you're finished. Jam person for road e no die? You're finished. The person die? Finished. Wound person intentionally or through negligence? You better have a good lawyer cause that lawsuit go bloody. In short, every offence has a ridiculously high fine attached to it.

It isn't kindness that makes the system here work. It is the fear of the government. The fear of consequences that come when you fall on the wrong side of the law. The laws are designed to milk you dry with draconian fines if you offend and if you can't pay, or you're a serial repeat-offender, na prison straight. The government officials I've observed do not hate or love you, they feel your pain but are remorseless when it comes to punishing offenders. That's why the mantra here appears to be 'Ija wa, Ija osi... always guiding' which roughly translates to 'bro, err on the side of caution.'
Having said that, if you obey the law, nobody send you for here o! Just paro lo!!

This is so motivating and hilarious at the same time! . It keeps our hopes alive as we wait patiently to japa to the Mapel land. Truly, there is no substitute to law and order!!! A structured system that works effectively can't be compromised without consequences....

May the Mapel land favor you and all of us, Amen
