Ohh see me wishing you were in Ottawa

Hi everyone,

My dad's application was approved today. Applied on the 15th of October, Biometrics done 23rd October. Biometrics Validity letter update 19th of Dec (don't understand the purpose of this letter), Passport request letter received 20th Dec. I thank God. It was silence all through, and they stuck to the 64 days timeline. E be like say dem remain say Christmas na next week and they rushed it out.

So, for those that have used VFS Lagos, I know that someone can submit the passport for him, but can someone collect on his behalf. He is not in Lagos and I don't want him spending flight money to go and collect the passport. The VFS site states that someone can collect for him but I have heard from people that they don't allow it. Can someone with experience confirm please? Also, where can I download the VFS Consent form? I can't find it anywhere on their site.

Thanks.

It's Milton, ON

Eddy4400:
This looks like somewhere I know in Ottawa, I could be wrong though.

Take it. View from my bedroom window. Trust me, Christmas celebrations here is nothing compared to Naija. You know the way Christmas 'smells' in the air? It6 boring here. Everybody will just be deying their dey.

Christian22aa:
Winter/Christmas pictures please we need it not just talking talking ..we need sweet inspirational pictures too

No lies. It's enough to make you have sense.

einsteino:

Ifeoma77 & I say hi!!!

Happy Easter everyone.

Lol. Them no born me born NOC naa. The fit didn't jump right at me and I don't think he or she wants to make a VO find it diffucult too. Those ones are overwhelmed, they are just looking for yeye reasons to be refusing people's applications. Na rewording sure pass. If he/her has the liberty to.

ans123:
Greetings Newmun.....not to question constituted authority......lol.
He actually fits into 1123. I just think he needs to rephrase his JD to align accordingly.Experiential marketing agencies are specialists who create experiences for brands/organization, publicize activities/events and manage execution end to end.

That NOC 1123(Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations) covers 3 distinct job functions so it is not possible that all the JD on CIC NOC is covered on his reference letter.

Experiential marketing is part of the entire marketing ecosystem, he just needs to work around it.

@Curious you may want to Google Account Manager JDs and see which ones you can add/subtract to your letter then compare it with some of CIC's. You can then share it here.

Exactly what he needs to do. Reword a little bit. Let him not make it hard for the VO. Those people are on overdrive these days with refusing applications for rubbish reasons. I am not sure they do in depth reviews sometimes. Nobody should give them a reason.

Topsmamen:


My Newmum . At first, i thought so too on the business consultancy or advertising/PR bits. He might have to coin some words to tailor-fit them into appropriately matching NOC 1123. I combed the entire NOC list and the closest I could find was 1123. I think his JD fits more into 1123 than any other NOC.

Great. Then you may need to reword your JD a little bit. It doesn't jump out at one the way it is. Use certain words to make it stick out.

curious123:
Loool. Yeah. I’m a specialist in marketing communications. Thank you

Congratulations bro. Na God win.

kriyobt:
Its PPR guys.

Honestly, I can't really see 1123 in this JD yet. I still dey look am one kain. Maybe it's the sleep that is worrying me sha.

Are you a ...specialist in advertising, marketing and public relations who analyses, develops and implements communication and promotion strategies and information programs, who analyses advertising needs and develops appropriate advertising and marketing plans, publicizes activities and events, and maintain media relations on behalf of businesses, governments and other organizations...? If yes, then ok, but if that is not your overall job experience, please look elsewhere. Your JD seems to be more of a business development consultancy than a PR or advertising type of thing. I may be wrong though, but na my opinion.

curious123:
Please find JD below,

*Overall management of the Client Services team members to maintain an efficient and engaging work
*Mentor and coach team members, providing educational opportunities, constructive feedback, and guidance for their development
*Respond to briefs my developing plans, budget as well as presentations to win pitch
*Identify new business
*Ensure projects are executed in line with requirements of clients
*Liaise with COO and other department heads to create systems for improved workflow and communication, and to address operational issues and challenges
*Stay abreast of industry trends and inspire the team to grow and expand their knowledge
*Attend client meetings and act as point of escalation for any client project issues

Thank you

PPR- Today �������

Chai! This feeling is sweet...✈✈✈������

Me that has seen -21°?
18° is a huge blessing! My son and I are at the playground in shorts. So yes 18° is warm for me by all standards. The highest we had in months. You'll be fine. Don't worry. I am not sure you hate cold more than me.

Influential101:
wow.. 18 degrees is now warm?? Me that cannot stay inside 20 degrees

Winter has been over for a while. We are in spring. It's still cold in most parts but no snow. It's particularly warm today though where I stay. 18°. I am putting on shorts for the first time in a while.

Christian22aa:
Good morning everyone..please is the winter over yet in Canada heard still snow in U.S

Congratulations to all PPR recipients. The ministry will get to the permanent site las las.

LONG VERSION

Ready for Visa / Prêt pour Visa landed gently at 2:13 AM, April 16, 2019 (it was dated April 15).

Lol. Make I follow you go your province joor.

iaatmguy:
if only I was landing in Ontario, would do it for them foc

@joo2018 how far? E don show?I came to check up and say congratulations to you. If you want, I can help you storm IRCC office and show them small craze. What are they holding your PPR for?

Lol. I can relate bro. After my husband spent $40 just to have a haircut and beard shaping, I got a clipper and I have been doing it for both him and our son. I don turn beard carver and shaper sef. Canada is a DIY country in a lot of ways. If not, expenses go show you pepper.

einsteino:


No too look my expenses o, rent can be cheaper by 40% in other cities. Yeah by family of 1, I mean just me. As for the hair, I didn't start out hoping to look good, just neat. hair cut is $20 and I usually have to cut my hair every week, so I figured if I buy a clipper it would pay itself in a few weeks and I would be saving $80 per month after that. Another thing is that it was quite an inconvenience having to find time to go to the barber. Right now whenever I feel like having a haircut, I get it without worrying about open hours or wait lines. How do I do it? I have a wall mirror and a hand mirror, with both I am able to see all sides of my head. As you may have guessed, I don't bother to do anything fancy, just good old lowcut. Its my beard that I am able to do more on since I have full visibility of my face. Do I look good in it? hehe no be Gorimapa 2face carry? Would a barber do much better? Sure! and even sef I made the decision in the winter wey all man dey use cap and hoodie take cover their head sef.

Mehn it would be great if you know how to cut hair professionally, I do see "Barber wanted" signs at some Barber shops.

Nice. A big congratulations to you and iyawo.

LONGEST POST ALERT...........PPR GIST PART2

I responded since o.

Xclusivemaama:


Hello Newmum, I sent you a PM.. I need your help on my noc code

My PM, the eagle has finally landed. It has been one hell of a journey. Congratulations. I celebrate with you.

JustinTrudeau:
Fellow citizens,so this is it...

Ok lets cut to the chase,its finally PPR and COPR for the PM.

Thats my PPR story what's yours?

Your PM

Thank you my people. Ifeoma77 now that you have exposed me, go to Iddo park tomorrow morning and collect the cooler of rice I sent via last bus to Nigeria.

No wonder. I knew something was wrong. I noticed some craziness with the NOCs I have been working on and I thought something was wrong with my memory or they really did an update on them, but I know they were never like that before. Good to know that they are aware. There have been several reported refusals based on NOCs in recent times. I hope this is not the cause.

Mamaroon:
After xtosync shared (see...something good has come out of your experience already and more good is on the way for you)......I went back to my chosen NOCs and noticed one had changed and had an error...it was a 100% match before..... now it was showing something bizarre...filled the contact us form online and got this email. We may want to use this to check NOCs
