Hello,
I applied for this program and did an online interview some months ago and they said they'd notify me for the next phase, but since then, I haven't heard anything from them.
Do you know the status of the recruitment process?
I'd appreciate your response

I tried it again later and it worked.
Sorry I saw your mention late.
I hope you have resolved the issue by now.

RommyNel:


I have the same issue, my passport expires in November too and my IRCC permit is tied to my passport expiration. I have been trying to apply before going to Ottawa but NIN verification keeps popping out same error messages as you attached here.

@OP and Others, has anyone been able to find a solution? Kindly share, please.

dawnomike:
It is temporary

Ok. Thanks for your response

My passport will expire in November. But I want to renew it ahead of time.
I've been trying to log into the Nigerian immigration passport website to renew but as soon as I enter my NIN, this image pops up saying they could not reach the NIMC server to verify my NIN.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Is it a temporary glitch or do I have to visit their office.

Thanks

Each and every one of those cultists should be given a very very harsh sentence since they have refused to have sense

Why are they still wearing clothes?

He should stop buying cars for the wife. Let her trek.

It's not bad listening to wholesome secular music. Some secular songs carry a positive message and do not talk about sex, gang activity or violence. You can listen to them but don't be carried away by them. Always remember to listen to Christian tunes too to help you stay on track with God

Honestly, this should be a routine process. No need for announcement

This is too restrictive. Compulsory expenses like demands from the maiden family and town unions should be curbed. Other expenses should be optional as far as I am concerned. If you have the money and want a big burial, there should be no law stopping you for Christ's sake. We are not in a communist country!
People just like to regulate other people's lives based on their own personal perspectives.
Let's see if this law will not be broken by the same people that made it

I don't know where you came from, but if you have a relative in Enugu, Imo or Anambra, I beg you to ask them if they have ever seen a poor man leading as the head in the Catholic Church over there.
U must be a NORTHERNER, NO DOUBT, because only few people in your state knows about the Catholic Church, 99 % of your people are Muslims.

I'm from Awka diocese my friend. And I've lived in both Onitsha and Port Harcourt and I can say with certainty that your claims are not completely/objectively true. Stop nagging

stevmatt15:


So others of my friends were also rejected for the Same reason I was rejected, right?
Go and brush your teeth, please it stinks.

Go do something else. Priesthood is not for everyone. God makes a way for those he chooses.

It's common sense that when slots are limited, those with stronger recommendations get considered first.

stevmatt15:


So this man who killed a married woman wasn't admitted, right?
You are senseless, at least think before you talk.
Those priests sleeping with your mother and sisters, were not given admission, right?

You sound so pained. Was your mother raped?
Haha. Cause that can only be the cause of your sadness.
Your response is not logically consistent with my post so no response for your sorry ass

Organicist95:


Thank God you weren't admitted into the seminary


You nag alot

as in eh. Disaster waiting to happen. The Catholic church dodged a bullet with that one

stevmatt15:

Brother, I am a devout Catholic, I didn't say a priest didn't write any for me, but the one they requested must come from your parish priest, I mean your present parish priest, so we did by getting one from our parish priest, but what you don't understand is that, we were 75 that came to the exam to which 35 passed, now out of that 35, do you think they are going to choose on merit, NO, they won't. because they only need at least 5-8 persons to be admitted that year. they. So let's see it this way. If the Bishop, vicar General, assistant to the Bishop, treasural, secretary, or those lecturers in the seminary school gave a list of those they recommended or suggested or wished to join the seminary, do you think the Vocation directors will drop those candidate to choose we that only came with a recommendation letter from a priest we are not that acquainted to, remember that even the Vocation directors has his own cherish candidate including the people his friends wishes to include in the seminary. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENT THAT YOU ARE AN ALTAR SERVER IN A PARISH AND THAT YOU ARE A RELATIVE OF A PARISH PRIEST. I hope u definitely understand where I base my word? The same politics plays in recruiting soldiers, police, custom, etc is been played the worse in church. I believe you are a Nigerian, well, since none of your relatives has experience it, you may think I am lying. I still have the recommendation letters two priest gave to me here. Have you ever seen a poor and educated and intelligent man become the PRESIDENT OF THE CATHOLIC MEN ORGANISATION, or a poor woman become a Leader in the women organisation?
No, you must be rich and well connected, some women do sleep with priests to get that position, which is likely to be the reason the wife of this man died on bed with a priest. My brother, stop seeing those white garment men as Jesus. Many but not all are Jezebel's Husband AHAB. I REST MY CASE.

Yes Ive seen poor men and women become CWO and CMO President. Many reasons could have played a factor in your non selection and you can't claim to know the criteria by which the selection was done. Things will not always favour you in this life. The way you're talking about it makes me want to agree with the person that made the selection on his decision to reject you. It takes more than just will to be a priest

Rivers youths are mostly cultists and thugs

The Church should have faith not fear

The Church is not a place where people come and get sick, the Church is a place where people come and get healing. Shutting the Church can never be the answer

I expect the Church leaders to have prayer such that even if someone with Corona virus comes to church, the person would be instantly healed and not infect others. It saddens me that the Church leaders are rather advocating closure of the Church. It saddens me that even the politicians have more faith and appreciate the power of God more than these church leaders

The politicians are now the ones telling Christians they can go to Church whereas the church leaders want the church to remain closed. Too bad

If someone who is sick comes to church, the person should receive healing not infect others

Thou shall not tempt the Lord your God. You are not holier than the priests and pastors dying in Europe

A metro system is necessary in Lagos

Ojukwu, The Coward Secessionist-

Dimka Odumegwu Ojukwu of Biafra-Biafaa or Bia-Kpara, Ogoni version! With due respect to reasonable Igbos and the public. It isn't proper to rejoice over anyone's death. I'm also not doing so, rather pointing to the man Ojukwu. I hope readers would understand my truth that can be found through history and can't be disproved otherwise.

Ojukwu, who was good in his own right couldn't stand Ken Saro-Wiwa and his truth about Ogoni-saving our people from Biafra and Ojukwu's madness and greed (popularly known as Nigerian-Biafran Civil War, 1967-1970), was the number one coward.



Ojukwu sold Biafra due to his greed for oil and disrespect for Ogonis and other minorities of today's Niger delta. Biafra was mostly harshed due to the presence of Ogoni/Niger delta oil. If it succeeded Ogonis, who were already enslaved by Igbos in Ogoni land will be registered slaves today. Saro-Wiwa saw this and fought against it. Thus his crime at the hands of Ojukwu and other Biafran praise-singers who then sought Saro-Wiwa's head.

Meanwhile, Ojukwu ran away from his people at a critical moment into exile. Millions of innocent Igbos (Ogonis and other minorities also died in numbers at home and Igbo camps) killed while he ran away.

No wonder seasoned Igbos, including late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe refused to support Ojukwu and his Biafran insanity!

Though Ojukwu returned from Ivory Coast under Shehu Shagari or so. He couldn't have the opportunity to fight to revive Biafra again. This was contrary to the saying: he who fight and run away lives to fight another day.

Saro-Wiwa stood by his people to the end. He's a global hero while Ojukwu is the Igbo coward!

As mentioned inter alia, death is an inevitable end, so not proper to rejoice over the death of others. I'm not rejoicing over Ojukwu's death. Ojukwu's death, however, can't come without the truth about him, unlike the lies he told abroad about Saro-Wiwa and Ogonis. I hope readers may understand.



Because Ojukwu was cheap, greedy, yet with one of the best education but knew nothing to do with it, he's bribed by the Federal government of Nigeria (under Sanni Abacha), sponsored abroad to justify the world's environmental and human rights hero's (Saro-Wiwa) unjust hanging.

The coward in Ojukwu couldn't get away with that trash! He's bathed in rotten eggs; a high profile disgrace given in the West, when he went to London justifying Saro-Wiwa's unjust death of Nov. 10, 1995.

Today, Ojukwu is left to the Igbos of his kind and some Nigerians such as Goodluck Jonathan, who love violence and has already said, according to Sahara Reporters' Nov. 26 report, "Ojukwu's place in Nigerian history is assured."

Anyone still unsure that Jonathan and his Nigerian cabal hate Saro-Wiwa and Ogoni? How shameful to see a country love and honor violence and trash nonviolence and intellectual discussions, arguments for rights (as with Saro-Wiwa and Ogonis) and freedoms to the cutters!

That is the Nigeria run by the so-called majority ethnic groups for you. We can see Boko Haram like Ojukwu's Biafra, in action, supported also by Jonathan and his Hausa counterparts. We can see Jonathan sit and look confused, not sure of what to do with Boko (like he paid off Niger delta militants whose agitation was just, if not their greed and unintellectual approach) begging for help from America.

Finally, is Jonathan, one of the Ojukwu-Biafran violent praise-singer confused about the peaceful Ogonis, their just agitation for political, social and economic justice, ruined environment? No! He and the Federal government is hardened, waiting for a period when news may come that all Ogonis are extinct due to environmental degradation and government, $hell's inaction and stupidity. Shame on Nigeria, because Ogoni, which is older than Nigeria will live to shame the Ojukwus and its Nigerian oppressors!

You are nothing but an agent of divide and rule.

gidgiddy:
The British officers at Kaduna kept wondering what an Oxford graduate was doing as a private in the Army and sent him for officers course in England. Ojukwu returned in 1957 and was commissioned a second Lieutenant, the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army.

Ojukwu rose rapidly through the Army. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1958, Captain in 1960, Major in 1962 and Lieutenant Colonel in 1964.

Ojukwu was commander of the 4th battalion, Kano, when the first coup happened in January 1966.

As the coup unfolded, Major Nzeogwu called on Ojukwu to join the coup to which Ojukwu refused. Ojukwus refusal to join Nzeogwu is one of the major reasons why Nzeogwu's coup eventually failed.

General Ironsi then siezed power and appointed Ojukwu Military Governor of the Eastern Region.

6 months later, mid-level officers of the Nigerian of Northern extraction conducted a coup that led to the overthrow and killing of Ironsi, and the installment of Lt Col Yakubu Gowon as head of state. The coup also greenlighted a pogrom in which over 30,000 Easterners, mainly Igbos, were killed all over Nigeria, particularly in the North.

The inability of Gowon to stop the killings, the resentment in the Eastern Region against his government and the fact that Ojukwu was senior to Gowon caused bad blood between both men

The crisis became so bad that the then President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah, intervened and invited both Gowon and Ojukwu to his Hiltop Mansion in Aburi, Ghana, for peace talks in January of 1967.

After two days of discussions, Ojukwu and Gowon signed an agreement that was to be known as the Aburi Accord.

A few months after their return from Ghana, Gowon broke the Aburi accord they signed by issuing decree 14 of 1967 which abolished all the 4 Regions, created 12 states, reversed the fical federalism practiced, changed the revenue sharing formular, all in a bid to increase the power of the North over the rest of Nigeria

For Ojukwu, it was the last straw. Ojukwu convened the Eastern Nigerian Consultative Forum, a body that comprised of all the chiefs and head of the 20 provinces that made up the Eastern Region. They sat and discussed for 2 days and mandated Ojukwu to declare the Eastern Region a separate country. On the 30th of May 1967, Ojukwu declared the Eastern Region a separate country called the Republic of Biafra.

In retaliation, Gowon declared war. The war raged on for 3 years and ended in January 1970 with Ojukwu handing over to his deputy, General Effiong, flying into exile in Ivory Coast and the subsequent surrender of Biafra.

Ojukwu later returned from exile 12 years later. He died in London in 2011 aged 78. His burial remains the greatest ever witnessed in Nigeria

Ojukwu is still revered by most Igbos because they believe he fought for their freedom.

Ojukwu was one of the greatest freedom fighters the world has seen and will continue to be revered for his fight for the freedom of Biafra

I have been a Catholic since in the early 90's and every Sunday Catholics pray for Nigeria

Ekpere maka nijeria nó ná nnúkû Nsôgbu and till today its getting worse in nijeria

obodo a enweghi nmekota

Personally I've decided I won't say that prayer again. My prayer now is for God to disintegrate the country

Tell him to impregnate you with boys if that is what he wants.

Quranic accounts of biblical facts are all falsified. You can believe them at your own peril.

There is no comparison between Quran and the Bible.
I disagree that the Quran was revealed by God.

Why was it not on CNN?

People perish for lack of knowledge. Most of these reasons are due to rank ignorance and credulity

DrChukki:
So because of faith, an Igbo man is meant to be buried in Kano... Chai.

Igbos who did this to us?

If you're Igbo and you don't want to be a Christian, Judist or Eckankar.... Simply be a pagan. For the sake of our tomorrow.

I don't know how long I will keep saying this in our village meetings.

Eckankar? That is occultism.

The man even wanted to have unprotected sex with the prostitute. The wife should go for STD tests

miqos02:
This man too dey talk, what has he achieved since he left governance? He should talk on his present or most recent achievments in business or any other endeavor.

what are your achievements since you were born?
