Dimple10: My people!!! Its been a minute and some…
I know i promised landing gist but life is happening. Still trying to get bearing and stuff. But it’s coming soon, i just need to get it out of my draft where It has been sitting for at least 3weeks now.
If you’re landing in Alberta next week, brace yourself and layer up. -20/-25 is what we’re expecting…
If you’re flying Ethiopian air, pack some basic necessities in hand luggage. Your load MAY not arrive with you on the same day as was my case. It was delivered 24hrs later.
If you see me outside, say hello.
Hey!!!
Welcome home - if you are in Calgary, I’ll watch out to say hello.
Urielbam: I think say na only me wey no understand the story.
He said even though money plenty for account, he left desk jobs like customer care to do manual labour and the manual labour no be like naija own.

Winkky: This naija enh, a lot of people travelling with return ticket especially this summer holiday had plans of getting PTA and selling to aboki which will drive the volatility further. so all get as e be jare
So when they get to their destination, what will they spend - Naira??
afo7: Good day house, I am seeking opinion of the house on behalf of my uncle. His case is kind of complicated and he needs to thread carefully. He travelled abroad, but after some years he lost his legal status due to some issues he had with his boss at work, the boss reported him and his visa was revoked. Due to his non-legal status and frustration, he decided to start the Canada EE process. While on the EE process, he was looking for ways to have legal status in the country again. The only way at that point was to use an arranged partnership with a lady who's a citizen of the country he resides. He applied for a spousal visa and it was granted. The spousal visa was granted after he has submitted his EE application. I forgot to mention he is married, his wife and kid only visits him once in a while from Nigeria. During his EE application, of course he included his wife and kid in the application, although as unaccompanied for CRS purpose. Now he recently got PPR, but he's concerned about the spousal visa which is still valid on his passport. Will there be a problem if he send the passport with that spousal visa (which was not gotten through his wife included in the EE application)? Will that be term as misrepresentation? because I don't think its possible to be legally married and at the same time be in a common law/partnership relationship with another person. Does IRCC still investigates after PPR? Can a PR be rejected after PPR? Gurus in the house, kindly advise my uncle before he send the passport, which might trigger something else.
Which one is spousal visa? Which one is PR? Which country does he reside in? So you mean he didn’t declare the visas on his passport or did he not declare his status in his current country of residence?
Allegory: This is how I’ve been watching everyone leave my boat one by one all month; I just tracked and it’s till showing the same nonsense processing. You’ll think PPR is the biggest issue but I didn’t even wait for PPR the way I've waited for these passports. When I’m finally in Canada, I’m going to have PTSD caused by express entry me and many others. I wake up in the night and find myself tracking passports, house hunting, praying for PTA, looking for Canadian relatives that’ll agree to co-sign a lease.Therapy should be one of the free post-arrival services offered to new PRs
The highlighted part is happening tomorrow, I pray it is successful because I am tired of mental maths

Please I need your advise on my present situation. I am an EE candidate, my Aor is Jan 2021. I got remed request in on the 26th of January (which is now passed) and ADR of updated pof, pcc and Schedule A Form which I submitted on the 7th of February.
Only for me to get a Procedural Fairness letter yesterday with regards to my pof. Please find attached, I need all the assistance I can get please, I have come too far to lose it all now.
It’s okay, we’ll get through it. When you submitted your POF and PCC, was it transmitted and also did you send via webform?
Nonetheless, did you use gift deed? Was money transferred into your account with no explanation?
There must be a reason you received this PFL but the good news is that you’ve been given a second chance to carefully correct any mistake.
Zeus04: For you all asking to connect on Linkedin... I am more than happy to connect. However, I am not sure if its allowed for me to post my linkedin profile here. Perhaps, elders here can advise on that.
As for jobs connect, no be me they give work o.. Lol. But I know quite a number of recruiters here I can send profiles as referrals and even better for roles I am directly hiring for. Also, if we get connected on Linkedin and you apply for any role u see me and the recruiter are connected, I will be happy to help reach out to the recruiter. Some of them owe me one.
Also, part of what I take time to do is talk recruiting here in Canada to help new comers to understand the market. Below is a virtual session I recently jumped on last Saturday... Hope there is a thing or two someone can pick from watching the video. I am the light skinned dude in the video.
overlord77: Be calming down and don't be like the indians whining up and down on Twitter. It's their country and their process. Y'all should cut them some slack. Canada has really helped the whole world, let's for once appreciate them. While USA and some other countries were kicking out immigrants, Canada kept taking. Just be patient
I don’t think it’s in your place to tell people how to feel or express themselves. We keep acting like everyone has the same temperament. I have my reasons for immigrating, some people have their lives on hold - can’t change jobs or even get married or start having children.
You could have started with the second part of your message but here you are telling me how to feel.
Do you know what people went to through just to get work reference letter from their line managers? What about the money saved in Naira and continually losing value.
Or are you saying those waiting from 2018 or early 2019 caught up in this pandemic bubble have no reason to vent?
It’s simple, all of these started because of Covid and then lockdown followed by travel restrictions which aren’t even there anymore.
People just want to know how to move forward with their lives - that’s all.
My friend gave up and moved to Germany while others are opting for UK Masters.
This is Nigeria, everyday it’s something new and i need to know what I am doing.
It's been 9 months since I last visited this page... I remember when I was also going through this process, posting here on NL and sometimes felt the Canada dream will never come. The almighty did it for me and my family and I am sure he will do same for ya'all. Since I arrived here in January this year, it's been a life changing journey with loads of opportunities and blessings!
Just thought to encourage everyone that the struggles and the seeming current unending wait will turn out good... It's all time. And trust me, it's all worth it.
Meanwhile, good news... The Liberals won the election yesterday... JT is still here so hopefully, the immigration pathway will gain some traction in the coming weeks/months. Fingers crossed!
Cheers guys!
Awww good to hear from you and thank God everything turned out well in the end for you and your family. There’s more greatness and blessings to come in the new land. Have fun out there and stay safe - we are right behind you
I have a UK masters certificate and I also have ICAN. Is there any need uploading ICAN certificate, will it add points? I have already chosen masters under my application
Also can anybody give a list of short courses that I can take to boost my score IT and non IT related
Thank you
If you have a Masters degree then next thing that would give you more points is PHD or taking French.
Hopefully they can focus on governance (read immigration) now. The rest of the world has moved on, they should do same .Encourage high levels vaccination including booster shots and get back to work.
