Dear @Makano, aestake, DrAFOguns, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,


Good day all,

I applied for sowp and sp for my children, we got medical request and it has been updated to pass for all of us.

Here is my concern, one of my children's PPR dropped almost 48hrs ago, however, no update for the rest of us since then.

I sent a mail yesterday, but nothing so far. What's your advice to me?

Thanks for your response.

Dear @Makano, aestake, DrAFOgons, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,



Good day everybody, I applied for sowp and study visa for my children, 3 of them. We did upfront medical last week tuesday, no message from IOM so far. However, I got a message from ircc requesting medical for my daughter today, no message for the rest of us. I checked the portal and noticed that they are reviewing my medical result, but no update for my other children.
I'm a bit confused as we all applied together, can anyone explain to me if this is normal. Thanks so much.

[quote author=ThisPower post=117132478]This thing you people are doing might not end well. It's better you don't start what you can't finish.
If you chase everyone here away, even yourselves will not remain here too.



God bless you for this post. I registered on this platform since 2012, but I did not know about this particular thread until last year.

The moment I knew about this thread, I had to backtrack to earlier parts, did a lot of research, screen grab as much information as I needed.

To the glory of God, with the information I gathered here, we applied for my wife's study visa in April, she got her PPR in July. She is in Canada, as we speak now. She is a first time applicant, and I remember sharing the good news here.

Please note that I never contributed for one day, after all, there is hardly anything new to add to what the 'Gurus' already have on the thread. Don't limit yourself to this part only, please backtrack to earlier parts, almost all the questions you have, had been answered in the past.

The problem of an average Nigerian is that they don't like reading, and they don't like stressing themselves. That's where the agents come in, let nobody blame the agents, as long as they are genuine. I also see nothing wrong in praising the agents here, after all nobody is forcing anyone to patronise them.

Let me stress here that I did not use any agent, and I can confidently say the information on this thread(including earlier parts), is enough for anyone to package their application on their own. Not just that, in fact the information is enough to make you an agent, if you chose to be one.

Let's not derail this thread please.

I come in peace!

Ire o!

[quote author=baralatie post=115408714]Russia and Ukraine war was needless!
The Russia already had an upper had in Crimea and Donbass
It already had ensured that Ukraine will never have an opportunity to be in NATO because of Donbass
It has already gotten a written notice from Washington and the government of the US that Ukraine will not be NATO!
It already had a Minsk2 agreement with Ukraine brokered by Germany and France!


There was never a written agreement that Ukraine would not become a member of NATO, if anything, the US continued to assure Ukraine that it would become a member of NATO, in the build up to the invasion.

Minsk 2 agreement was never implemented by Ukraine before the invasion. In fact, one of the demands of Moscow before the invasion was the implementation of Minsk 2 agreement.

Let me remind you that even after the invasion, as part of the initial negotiations, Moscow still talked about the need to implement Minsk 2 agreement. I guess all that is history now.

One of the religious books says 'The kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violent taketh it by force'. Russia is doing what is best for its interest at the moment.

The US would do the same, even worse.

You are comparing Russia inability to think through a problem without the need for an unnecessary,uneconomic and time wasting wars to a china that has worked hard to bring 1 billion of it's people to a life better than what Russia had a 100 years ago.This the achieved without going to war!


You need to be educated on the difference between the way the two nations solve problems!
undecided
Hmnn....so you think the Russians are stupid. The war in Ukraine was always going to happen. The Russians knew all along that NATO and Ukraine were planning an all out assault on the Donbass. If they had allowed it, it would have been very difficult for them to intervene, since NATO would be actively involved.

The Russians seized the initiative by invading Ukraine, that's why the US and its NATO allies were and are still very mad, because the Russians beat them at their own game.

As for China, they know war is inevitable on the Taiwan issue, but I think they (China) are not sure yet, if they can actually succeed in invading and taking the Island.

The difference between Russia and China is that, Russia is ever ready to pick up a fight, to protect its interest based on experience, while China is not so sure of its capabilities yet, having not engaged in any war since the Korean war.

Good evening guys.

My wife's PPR dropped today.

This is my first time of commenting on this thread, but I got all the guidelines I needed to package her application here.

I want to say a very big thank you to all the major contributors on this thread.
I say God bless you all, beyond your expectations.

For those still expectant, God will surely answer your prayers.

My wife submitted her application on April 11th. That was the only time they sent any notification to her, before the PPR message dropped today.

UKRAINE CRISIS
24 MAY, 13:34
Medvedev critical of Italian plan for settlement in Ukraine
The Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council criticized a number of ideas contained in the plan, such as the autonomy of Donbass and Crimea within Ukraine
MOSCOW, May 24. /TASS/. The Italian plan for settling the Ukrainian crisis is based on rumors found in "provincial newspapers" and fake news. Only the draft agreements proposed by Russia reflect the real state of affairs, the Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said on Tuesday.

Russia had to begin special operation to stop genocide in Ukraine — Defence Minister
"The West is obsessed with a zeal of making ‘peace plans’ that should ostensibly lead to a settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. There might be nothing wrong with this, if the point at issue were some options taking into account the realities somehow. Alas, it is just a pure stream of consciousness from the European graphomaniacs," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

He drew attention to Italian media reports that Rome had handed over to the UN "a certain four-stage plan for a peace settlement in Ukraine."

"One has a feeling that it was put together not by diplomats, but by local political scientists who have been reading provincial newspapers too much and operating only with Ukrainian fake news," Medvedev emphasized.

He criticized a number of ideas contained in the plan, such as the country's entry into the EU and the autonomy of Donbass and Crimea within Ukraine. Medvedev is certain that "there is no point in analyzing this project further," since "it’s just an attempt to help Kiev save face somehow."

"By the way, Ukraine itself does not want to negotiate. It has long preferred to forget about the Russian draft peace treaty. As if it had never existed. It relies entirely on the flow of weapons and money from the Western countries and war to the bitter end," Medvedev said. "How very wrong. After all, in the event of a change in the military operation’s scenario the Ukrainian authorities and military command will not feel safe even in the underground bunkers," Medvedev stressed. He warned that various high-profile "PR visits" to Ukraine by various foreign politicians in that case "will be taking take place not in Kiev, but on the border with Poland".

"Therefore, if somebody really wishes to propose peace, there must be initiatives based on sober calculations and reflecting the current state of affairs. It is precisely this type of document that Russia proposed for discussion a long time ago. As for peace proposals formulated strictly in the interests of NATO and the Western world order, then such gestures should be simply ignored. And the steady work continued for achieving the goals of the special military operation," Medvedev concluded.

Earlier, the daily La Repubblica said that Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio had handed over to the UN and G7 partners a proposal for a peace settlement in Ukraine, involving a ceasefire, as well as a treaty on "disputed territories" and a general multilateral agreement on security guarantees in Europe

Hanibbal:
Ukraine using lies to get sympathy. That Zelensky is very manipulative.
The warmongers in UK and the US have got to justify their involvement in a war that's driving up inflation rate, and making life difficult for their citizens at home.

The only way to do that is to show that the Russians are demons, torturing and executing innocent civilians, raping women and girls, and looting everything in Ukraine.

It appears those 'crimes' are not grievous enough to convince their people, so the latest one is that Russian soldiers are raping babies everyday.
Fear Ukraine and their western masters.

They are doing everything possible to continue to generate sympathy, and justify why the US/UK and EU should continue to send weapons and cash to them at the expense of their citizens.

I am not trying to justify war crimes on either side, but to generalise, and make it appear the Russian soldiers in Ukraine have orders from Putin to torture and execute civilians and to rape women and babies is ridiculous.

Some soldiers, just like some civilians in the society, are criminals. The way you cannot rule out crime in the society, is the same way you cannot rule out crime amongst soldiers.

Whenever Ukrainian soldiers commit war crimes, the western media hardly talk about it, but whenever Ukraine accuse Russian soldiers of same, they splash it all over the front page without verifying.

I don't want to talk about this platform and the owner, I leave him to his conscience.
