Hello everyone,

I am trying to applying for a TRV for my mum, I have done everything else but I am having issues uploading IMM 5257. I have filled the form a million times and everytime I try to upload i keep getting error messages. Please can some one help on a possible quick fix?

Yaaayyy!!! newmum0615, I knew u will not fall my hand. Thank you sooo very much for your landing gist, I appreciate it more now that I cannot seem to put my PPR gist together in english, my eyes and hands have also assumed turnioniown mode. God bless you and your family and cause more favors to pursue and overtake you. Enjoy the freedom that comes with giving out all ur pregnancy details without worries, dat is the real FREEDOM, . I am certain I will meet you sometime, you sound like a really exciting soul.

Have fun and lets hear the rest of the gist as they occur when you can. Ciao

Part 2:

Our life in Canada thus began. In the first one week, we did quite a lot. Opened bank accounts, got phone lines, spoke with employment advisors, visited my registered midwife and other things here and there. We even attended service at the church my midwife invited us to. The pastor and everyone we met were so accommodating. They prayed for us and welcomed us to Canada.
The second week saw us begin our house search. This part of my landing gist will require its own section because it is really a story for another day

So I canask to have that taken out if I want to pick up myself?

MacShiff:
Yes it's inclusive of courier charge back to VFS Office.

You will be charged extra if you want it delivered to your house which is optional.

Right. Thanks

Please indulge me though. Does the 17,790 include charges like courier etc which are optional?

MacShiff:
Congrats Newbeecey.

I paid 17,790 for each family member plus 550 for sms.

Total of 53,920 for family of three.

If you can get there before 8am. In less than 45 minutes you are done.

Thanks. Lol....actually considering how I was looking forward to it in the past two weeks, maybe the best way to describe the feeling is unusual calmness. I think say i for even rush go house sef; I want to shout the news but I know say dem fit decide to fire me before I resign, lol. Yeah but , I still cannot quite place this feeling.

Adeyemmy24:
Congratulations! But haba, How can you say no emotions...at least plenty joy go dey, plus you go just dey smile all day..lol
Congrats once again, we dey wait o

Cough Cough!!!!! I guess its easy to sit and critic other people’s PPR post until you realize that almost 8 hours after seeing your own, you still do not have the words. No emotions, except the fear of ralphrulz scoring of your post when you finally get to it.

Please lemme go an prepare, English language might be my weakpoint afterall. In the meantime, my most recent PPR clinchers (MacShiff, ebony9ja, beeday, boom12) apart from the docs we need to present at VAC, Lagos, can you please advise on what the current fees are and what the process is, including how long on the average the submission will take (I no fit take day off naa, I never resign).

@wholesomegrace, sis we made it o. Newmum, I can finally work around meeting you in real life (I cant wait), Ifeoma77 (I know that looking forward to ur posts will keep me on this thread for a while).

I will be back with the script

lol..take solace in the fact that you have been saved from the cold.

wizean:
As beautiful as these pictures are, they seem to be tormenting me as my flight is still 2 months away. I no even know why I go book for March sef. Dear March please come quickly ........ I can't wait no longer

Yes!!!! I think Olajide21 is finally giving us the landing gist as it should be (ie from boarding to hopefully landing and settling in). This should be the new marking scheme biko. Olajide21 thank you very much; your pictorial representation has us feeling like we are taking this trip with you.

Enjoy yourself, land safe, settle easy.

Newmum0615 , hello from this side. Please o!!!! This one is not pride. In advance, I am asking that you make it very relatable in words and pictures. Merci tres beaucoup

Finally!!!!! To break this lack of PPR ice. Many congrats to you. Go and flourish

Proof of funds was just a Treasury Bill which I did for 45 days a day before submitting the application. I didn't submit any 6 months statement, just the certificate.

Although, I submitted the statement of account of my salary account since inception under proof of employment.

Ordered GCMS notes twice, the second one is yet to arrive.

As at 2 weeks back, only criminality had been met, eligibility and security not started, called CIC to get the info.

All in all, God be praised!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I wish you more grace and favour from here onwards

Landing Gist.
Family of 5.
Happy new year all. I didn’t want my landing gist to have part 1 & 2; hence I waited for it to be almost complete.

Our PPR took over 10months and we had less than 5 weeks to travel from when COPR was issued. Everything was a mad rush! Bought winter jackets and sweaters from Yaba market.


God bless us all and may we all have a great year.

Im sha just waiting for u to send us your first picture after the cold hits you at the airport... I almost feel like i see you having an angry conversation with the weather...lol

Newmum0615:
My dear, I'm here chilling. I dey my lane dey observe. Seems you guys have a lot of angry birds on the thread these days. My tolerance level for rubbish is very low this new year, so make I just dey observe una.
Saying hi to you guys from Canada in a few days. We will celebrate your PPR soon. Hang in there.

Woowwww!!!! OMG, I am soo sorry about that. This is quite some information to be "very aware" of now. mmhhnn

slimlanre:
I have been a silent observer on this thread for a while. I must commend the selfless efforts seen here.

@Salford, the bolded has been my prayer since the 1st time i had to go to the emergency two years ago when my wife was pregnant. After being triaged, we waited for close to 5 hours to see a doctor. I couldn't believe i was in the "emergency unit". We eventually lost the baby. It opened my eyes to the Healthcare system in Canada, precisely Calgary. It is a major challenge, the wait times, but since it is "free", most Canadians just live with it.

Eheennnn!!! bet i trust you to deliver naa, I sure say this one that you waited till now, the sequel will reach like season 5. . Thanks jare

GlitteringStar2:
Kindly find below my landing and post-landing experience

[quote author=Estac post=73874382]My stale landing gist. Plz pardon any typos cos I typed this out on my phone.

Lol....Congrats and more congrats when u land full. I thoroughly enjoyed what you called a boring landing gist. May your husband find favour in the land soon enough, so you can go home.

Its ok to feel this way. Can you at least apply for a remark of your writing? Say YES!!!!
As we rightly say, It will end in praise.

salford1:
It has 2 meanings at most gov work place
1) Banked Hours (also known as Time Off in Lieu) refers to hours worked over contracted hours but instead of receiving an overtime payment for these hours they are held (banked) to be taken as leave at a time in the future that is agreed between managers and individual staff. Usually, working four hours OT earns you a day off if you decide to bank it.

2) Irrespective of OT, you get every third fridays or mondays off to use for other commitments.

salford1:
1) Yes. (Not all jobs though. E.g Military and other jobs in private industry or government establishments that requires top secret clearance).

2) I work for the government.
Pros:
-Often unionized
-Pay is often better than private firms
-Job security
-Relaxed working conditions
-Banked days off
-Excellent pension plan
-Excellent benefit for employee and family
-Flexible work hours
Cons:
-Just like Nigeria, getting a government job here is tough. People rarely resign from gov jobs.
-Lots of team members that slack off at work
-You won't be a dynamic worker (You get to work most times in one specilization except you apply to work in other dept).
-Bureaucracy (Lots of it)
-Bonus payments are low or non existent.

3) Hopefully, someone can answer this.

Hi, what does the bolded mean?

Yaayyy!!! That sub hitting the right "spot" (people). Abeg make e hit @glitteringstar2 too o as we know that ur own gist will be full measure and make up for the delay . Merci en advance.

Ethelia:
Lol, let me collect my sub with full chest .. Running to start typing my landing/settlement gist....

Lmao....#dead

Ifeoma77:
a manly man like me? I look like Dwayne Johnson - except that I have 12 packs.

You forgot to do the mashup...

cuteguy201:
To whom it may concern, let me just drop this here

I think its you that I am visualising sef...

Ifeoma77:
Wish we had more time to gossip and plan coup against prof Snape it was awesome finally meeting you. Hope your flight home was smooth.

Guys, if you want to visualise Newmum, think of a Tyra Banks + Ashwarya Rai mashup. She is G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!!
As beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.

Wishing you all the very best and God's favour.

jelmusboy:
Landed today 7am Toronto time, will try to post transcript as soon as I can. The struggle starts and all I can wish for myself is FAVOUR.

Any WhatsApp group for immigrants in Toronto or Ontario as a whole?

7 days

Adiepena:
How many days were you given to upload the filled document?

Lol...Should be ottawa, Im guessing from the mail I received.

exquisef:

I have fastened it already o. Thanks

clock89:
Fasten your seatbelt, I know someone that submitted this same ADR on Nov 11 and got PPR today!

Right...I just wanted to be sure, it wasnt weird. Thanks

ent/guardian for minors immigrating to Canada. Since your spouse is not accompanying, he needs to fill it.[/color][/quote]

Hello all,

New thread, fresh question , abeg i just got ADR for IMM 5604 Declaration:, I thought that was for single parents. My DH is just un-accompanying o, na im still get im pikin. Please is this the usual? ie for those that have applied with spouse as un-accompanying.

Could you please share pictures of some examples in these layering categories [quote author=einsteino post=72673280]Something just crept up my mind now. As much as Yaba has good jackets that compare to the $140 jackets I have found here, the main challenge is that most folks who are still in Nigeria may not be able to tell a good jacket for Canadian winter. A great winter Jacket for the U.K .......

Yaayyy!!! congrats to you. Wishing you easy prepping, and yes!!! All will be well by God's grace.

wholesomegrace:
@ sexymj, fantababy, Newbeecey

How's it going? To get new-born passport out from Ikoyi took a while but have our COPR and Visa's now. Prepping little by little for landing. I trust all will be well

AswearoGod only Newmum0615 and co could have done this.

Onebase79:

Thanks; even though I was about to say smslive2!!! dont u dare use that ur link line on me mehn...was worried about clicking on the link; seeing as you have a reputation.

smslive2:
Use this form to Raise a CSE

So while we are busy waiting for the miracle PPR mail, I just realized that this CSE table that you people have been shaking, we are on it.

DH had a US refusal and was asked to reapply within 3-6 months, cant remember the exact reason though. He reapplied and has since gotten the visa; but i did not include it in our application.

I am about to do that now, only to realize, your dear sistuurrr doesnt even know what CSE means, let alone how to raise it. So this is an SOS!!! cry for help.
