Congratulations!!! Can you kindly forward your study materials, if it won't be much of a bother. My email is: gloryd33@gmail.com Thank you. NubianQueen87: You have times and seasons in Your hands, You called forth light out of darkness. You don't need a man to be the God you are, but You have chosen to call me Your own!
People of God, gather round...
It's PPR!!!
Like LadyMarshall said, the feeling is out of this world, chai!
I decided to write this script so that others can benefit from my experience. It's the least I can do for this Nairaland family that God used to bless me, after an agent told me I'll pay them 600k PER APPLICANT!!!
SO, here goes:
I got my MSc from the United Kingdom, and since I got back,I always knew it was a matter of time before I left this country. Even when hubby started brother-sister chyking, I was always sounding it so that tomorrow he wee nor say I didn't say "henitin" lool.
I had my daughter in August 2018. I took her to the village so my grandfather would see his greatgrandchild and bless her. He looked at her and called her Ada Ala bekee (daughter of the abroad place). It was like a light switch came on. I couldn't sleep that night. Was I really going to raise this child in this country? I got back home and spoke with my husband. Normal tins, excuses started. Ehn, we don't have the money. I said, "it will come, if it's God's will". Ehn, I'm first son and you're first daughter. We can't leave the country. I said, " Err, yes we can. Shebi ya first cousin is in Sweden and her village house has not fallen ni". Ehn, it's just so much work. At this point, I recognised village pipu, so i just said okay. I went out and told my Mom, I'm starting alone. I was breastfeeding exclusively, so I couldn't fast beyond 12pm. I gave God my strong reasons for wanting to leave and asked Him to -if it was His will that we leave- touch my husband's heart, cos I couldn't break up my family. I started my research. An agent whose number I got off Facebook, gave me a very detailed breakdown of the steps involved, apparently in the hopes of snagging a customer. When she finally told me her price (600k per applicant, hian), the rest is history. Then I remembered an acquaintance who had studied in the UK with me as well and was currently in Canada. She asked me to go to Nairaland. That was my first confirmation of God's leading. My Mom stayed with my daughter at night so I could read up. I started from part 3 page one, while praying for a change of heart from my husband. I got my answer as I finished Part6. He came to me and asked, ehn how far this waka? How do we go about it?. I just smiled, went inside and came out with this huge folder of screenshots of conversations from nairaland and Canada Visa. He was shocked! Don't underestimate the power of a woman who wants the best for her family!
Anyway, we sha started.
ECA
I used WES for mine (Master's degree from the UK). It arrived in 3weeks. Hubby used ICES for his Naija degree. This was a good one for us because ICES has the option of emailing transcripts, which cost 8k against the 22k the school would usually charge for transcript transmission. Plus, it arrived much faster since it's electronic. Took about 14weeks to get his ECA. We used a friend's Canadian address and he emailed us the soft copy which we used to apply.
IELTS When my ECA arrived, I started reading up for IELTS. A friend very kindly gave us the Cambridge 1-12 which he and his wife used for their exam. He had written 6times and I kept rejecting it because carry me up throw me down, you no go see N20 note, so I kept praying that this N75k would be the first and last. I tried my best to read while nursing a 3month old baby. God was faithful. The Holy Spirit helped me retain a lot. I lost a bit of concentration out of excess anxiety and pressure during the listening test and I tried to make up for it during the reading and writing tests. The speaking went very well. People were going in and coming out with strong faces, saying the examiners were asking them about global trade and the effects of WW2 on present day blablabla. It was with an anxious heart that I got up when it was my turn, pasted a sweet smile on my face and went inside. People of God, this woman examiner asked me about... Wait for it... Colours. Yes, colours! My favourite colour, why I prefer it to other colours, how do I feel when I see that colour, how do colours affect people's mood. Till tomorrow, I don't remember a single answer. Result came out and I had LRWS 8.5/7.5/7.5/7.5. Kai! I was so grateful!! Hubby wrote his in January and aced it too, LRWS :8/9/7/7.5
POF This is where I said God would confirm that He's behind this waka. 5.6million is not beans porridge. Money came in from unexpected sources, while the expected ones folded their arms and watched to see how we will get it. Issokay. We transferred everything from my account to momsi's account and she transferred it to Hubby's account and he bought treasury bills through his bank. Then, we notarized a gift deed saying she's giving us the money and isn't expecting it back. These were all uploaded.
Medicals & PCC After we submitted our profile in July, we immediately booked flights for our medicals because we were so sure we would get ITA with a CRS of 474. 2days after, ITA arrived and we took off. We used IOM Lagos and it was a breeze. We had used booking.com and found a hotel few minutes walk from IOM (The W Hotel) and it was very cozy and affordable, too. We were done by 12:10pm and took the BRT from Ikeja to Ikoyi and a keke to CID, Alagbon. Inspector Moshood was at a retreat, but we met another kind officer who he had left in charge. He even bought drinks for me, hubby and baby. We were out of there in under one hour. We also met some Nairalanders on this journey and were just shining teeth with them, lool.
WORK EXPERIENCE As the PA, I had to get reference letters from a former employer. My NOC was 2171, but we had an arrangement because of one or two waka dat time, so I was paid in cash. He gave me reference letter, and I attached my employment letter and a few payslips. I also attached an LOE explaining why I didn't attach any bank statements.
I submitted on the evening of the 59th day, September 21st. I got AOR same day, MEP came October 3rd and BIL arrived October 4th. We went to Abuja because I'm kuku allergic to Lagos stress. Momsi watched the baby while we went to give our biometrics. VFS staff were very courteous and we were done in about 2hrs. They asked us to be patient and prayerful and hoped to see us very soon to drop off our passports. Chai. We hurried back to the airport to catch our flight back to PH. Arik Air didn't dull us. Thank God.
We got home and...... ...... ...... S . . . I . .
L . . E . . N . . C . . E . . .
Thank God for our jobs, it helped us stay sane. At first I was in my account every other day, but when I decided to just let God take over, I found myself checking every other week. All I prayed was that I didn't want any ADRs or interviews. I prayed that our documents would be more than enough for them to make a favourable decision.
Exactly 4months, at 10:36pm, it arrived. I opened my email on the 22nd to retrieve a document and BAM! There it was!!! Some students had come to report noisemakers. The way I rushed them out of my office, they would have wondered what happened to Me. I was in shock. I'm still in shock. I was expecting it but now that it's here, the feeling is so surreal. I'm just so thankful to God. No ADR. No interview. Kai. Through my unfaithfulness, doubt, He still had mercy and favoured me and my family. Thank You, Father.
Thank you, @topsmamen. Jesus did it!
For the unimaginable wealth of experience available here FOR FREE, thank you Nairaland.
It has ended in praise!!! |

Intelligentdude: I think it can be solved in NPC office.Cos generally speaking the two names are different as far as abroad travelling in concern. pls can I preferrably do a sworn affidavit? |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Federal Scholarship-bilateral Education Agreement (BEA) Awards by opatolad(f): 8:58pm On Feb 27, 2016 |
Pls my birth certificate (NPC) reads OluwaDamilola, while other certificates reads just Damilola. Hope this cause any issue? And is there anyway I can solve it? Intelligentdude: I went to FSB office to make enquiries, just to be very sure of the requirements(I won't be applying though, went with a friend who applied).Note the following: If you plan on using your Neco,you won't get the scholarship. If there is a mistake in any of your certificates especially date of birth or error in name in your Waec result,you won't get the scholarship. If you choose Mexico or Russia,and you didn't do your undergraduate there(for PG students), you won't get the scholarship. For those who are yet to apply,I won't advice you to choose Turkey or China(PG applicants). If you are not very good in Maths,forget Japan It is adviceable to go through the courses your choosen country is offering because if you choose a course that they ain't offering,you are O.Y.O. For those applying to Japan(SSCE holders),make sure you want to go read Engineering there if not O.Y.O. Make sure your birth certificate is from NPC if not you won't be nominated. Have a great week house#cheers |
