I just checked my ielts results now (Dec 16). I was shaking while entering my details. But Glory be to the most high....Alhamdulillah!!!

LRSW 8.5,9.0,7.0,7.0 (first attempt)

A lot of funny stuffs happened to me during my test. For one, my bladder was filled to the bream, and the supervisor refused to let us go out until it's 10 minutes to rounding up. I was so uncomfortable. But God saw me through....

ECA came few hours ago.

Congratulations to you and your family.

Ok, so DHL runs concluded (I can’t afford to wait so I can pay another armed robber salary school fees)

Hmm....where do I start from? I will indeed give God the praise because it could only have been Him. My loooong timeline is below:

IELTS - 07 Jan, 2017 (9,8,8.5,7.5)
1st ECA - WES (still uncompleted as I speak as that institution formerly known as Ogun State University refused to send transcript)
2nd ECA - IQAS; received 26 Mar, 2017 (Resorted to IQAS as we were not aware we could request WES to exclude the BSC from OSU so sent UK Master’s only to IQAS)
1st EE Profile - 27 Mar, 2017
2nd EE Profile - 12 Apr, 2017 (recreated to attract Ontario NOIs which were being released that week. Ontario had requested that we should recreate our profiles)
Ontario NOI received - 12 Apr, 2017
Application submitted - 14 Apr, 2017
Nomination - 09 May, 2017
ITA - 17 May, 2017
AOR - 01 Jun, 2017

No additional docs/FTD (I assume) - 24 Sept, 2017
IP2 - 19 Dec, 2017
PPR - 28 Dec, 2017

Yes we do have extensive travel history and I have also lived in the UK. Whether or not that’s a factor for LVO, I can’t say. All I know is that it’s been 210 days of constantly checking my profile and how I got through it, only God knows. The journey indeed is not for the faint hearted, especially this year that IRCC decided to show colour to PNP applicants, but when you’re no longer a spring chicken and age won’t let you get direct ITA, you take what God has blessed you with. The fact that I was even able to get ITA through PNP with my low 400 score was enough of a miracle. I have younger people who are still waiting so who am I to look at God’s gift to me and say it isn’t enough? At least, the goal of getting the children away from here is accomplished however long it took.

For my LVO family, please don’t despair as it will all end in praise. To those starting out, ask God for patience, lest you develop high blood pressure Let’s all remember that the race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, it’s all about time & chance and most of all, His grace!

This forum has been a wonderful companion through this journey. It’s been amazing to see the testimonies, the camaraderie as well as the digs . The testimony that stands out for me is Deeore’s. I remember when she posted her rejection, how she was encouraged and how she dusted herself up and reapplied. And God did it! As He has completed the work for those of us who received PPRs, so shall He do for those still awaiting IELTS, ECA, ITA and even POF completion in Jesus’ name.

HELLO @KEVINOH, KINDLY RESPOND TO MY PERSONAL MESSAGE, I HAVE SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Kevinoh:


Hello, I can't really say for sure what may have triggered such request. I believe everyone's case is unique, it's not like it's a general thing to request for such. In my own case my old passport expires in February 2018, and so I was asked to provide a new one, proof of payment for my RPRF along with some payslips and tax documents

Congratulations to everyone who got their ITA today, how I'm seriously trying to be next year, God willin . Me and my lady Still have to conquer IELTS tho! Lol

@‪Glitteringstar‬ gotta be the #1 citizen on this forum. The love she got from people on here is out of this world, Meaning she is kind & generous. Keep doing you, sis. Congratulations on your ITA,from me to you.

Cheers

Congratulations @Deebay & @Kissoflife. So pumped for you guys.

Inspiring. Word of the day ( keep on Keeping on )

Hello my ppl,
Let me share my story to encourage somebody.
ITA July 11
AOR Aug 5
Medicals passed Aug 18
IPI Aug 19
Aug 26 daughter was born
ADR sept 5 schedule A submitted
Sept 18 added daughter plus her medicals

I was on IP1 till Dec 6th!!! By October 11, I got gcms notes and found that I had issues with my pof. I submitted two bank statements and a bank reference. My dorm account in dollars had 95% of the funds and my savings with d rest 5%. According to d gcms note all the funds they saw was $4,515 which obviously didn't meet the threshold for a family of 3. Actually the bulk of the money $16k was in my dorm which they had erroneously skipped. So they only checked my savings and converted to get $4,515. I was devastated. I got a few advice from my good ppl here, sent them couple of mails and raised several CSE. Re-scanned all statements and sent to them. They didnt respond!. I couldn't print new statement cos i had actually used part money for some things. They totally ignored all the mails, and probably dumped my case as its a dead-end.
On dec 6th, I woke up to a letter of refusal! The worst has finally happened. It was the same reason - insufficient funds. You can imagine the traumatic experience. However I braced up myself, decided to write again. But this time it was going to be with some fury! I was so irate. I explained how unfair the system is and sent all the statements again. The fault was clearly from them and not mine. You missed out on my major account details and you got me disqualified for no fault of mine.
Dec 7th, I started another application. Got 451 and entered the pool again to start the process all over To be truthful I actually gave up, but my wife insisted we do it again. She encouraged me to start all over. God bless her.
Dec 14th, I got an email like an update on the rejected application. When I logged into my app, I noticed my refusal has been reversed. My old application is now back online. I cudnt contain my joy and up till now that I write, it looks and feels like a dream. I stared at d app profile for hours to see If it is really true or if anything would change. So all the mails I sent and my CSE i raised finally paid off at last. Just this morning my app moved to NA2 and immediately i got a mail to pay our rprf. Right now I have an app that's close to ppr and another in the pool waiting for ITA. I wish I can transfer that to someone. God is good. Lots of lessons to learn;

Don't risk touching ur pof o. Anything can happen, u may need to send a fresh statement or reference showing current balances, you just never know.
Finally, never say never, if u want something desperately enof u will get it.

God is indeed great.

Thanks to u all for ur insightful advices. Before I over celebrate pls does rprf request mean PPR is near

My dawg

Kontagious:

Congratulations on your nomination.

1.) You can use address below for all documents;
Central Intake Office (CIO)
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
Sydney, Nova Scotia
Canada.

2.) A bank was recently mentioned to have increased monthly limit to USD5,000. Not sure of the bank at the moment but i'd be guessing total App fee + RPRF for family of 4 should come to CAD2,480 (depending on age of the children). A Naira card aside that of the mentioned bank might not go through if you'd be paying App fee and RPRF at once.

3.) All members of family is to upload passport, some allowance in body posture is given to toddlers though but not too far off the accepted standard. A professional photographer will know how to handle your toddlers. Six months is the time-frame given for passport photographs, so, you may explore option of using same passport for e-Apr and on PPR. If you intend doing this, tell the photographer you want the PPR dimension (50mm * 70mm), s/he knows other specifications to follow. You can try any Studio 24 outlet. You should tell them to stamp and sign at least one each of you all. Soft copy of the passport is not necessary since you'd still be scanning other documents, you can scan the hardcopy passport just as well, but if you feel you want the soft copy, please collect it. Might still come in handy for some other stuffs.

2 copies of passport is required, one to have name of photo studio, date taken and subject's name at the back while the other should be left blank. Applies to everybody in your application

4.) A gift deed is not necessary when spouse transfers. A letter authorizing the use for immigration purpose will suffice. Frankly, I'd say N2m out of what is needed for family of 4 should not necessitate that authorization letter but for peace of mind, you can include it. Gift deed is however not needed.

5.) Who should do PCC: PA, Spouse and children above 18. Take along passport photograph (2 to be safe), copies of your international passport biopage, and of course money . Average of 4k per person if you go through Inspector Moshood. You'd get all the PCCs in about 30-45mins, shouldn't exceed 1 hour.

6.) Take same thing for PCC but your original international passport at hand. You'd be given a sheet which is what you'd upload in placeholder for medicals. You should as a fact eat before leaving home, you don't know when you'd be attended to.

7.) Just three hospitals in Lagos, prices defers though;
A. Q-Life Family Clinic,
Plot 155a Prince Ade Odedina Street,
off Sinari Daranijo, Victoria Island Annexe.

B. IOM Migration Health Assessment Centre
No. 1 Isaac John Street,,
GRA Ikeja.

C. The Childrens Practice and the Consultants Practice,
25 Raymond Njoku Street,
Ikoyi,

8.) Hospital, depends on your choice and where you coming from but Alagbon is just after Passport Office (NIS) going from Obalende but before if coming through Kingsway Road.

Hope all questions are covered, and congratulations again on your nomination.

einsteino:
I understand everyone wishes for his case to be different, to be that one that has grace written all over his story.. but we must understand for the large majority, this wouldn't be the case and that doesnt make the story any less glorious. Not everyone's journey would be a cakewalk, that's life.

Yes we wish everyone the best and exceptional speed but we know it can't materialize for everyone regardless of how much we pray, else the operational word wouldn't be "exceptional".

We would not all have IELTS in our first shot, not everyone would have POF before ITA, some would have PPR in 18days and some after several months, PUM for some would be 14days and some 6weeks... but by God, so long as there is any chance at all, we gear up and keep on, till we achieve our goal.. we are not faintheart!

PR is PR regardless of the timelines and hurdles, we have lived through worse already.. having the opportunity and means at all is all that matters. So please and please expect hurdles as much as you anticipate grace, that way nothing shocks you.

May the odds be in our favour, but if it isnt, we shall not despair! we shall weather whatever storm it brings.

Congratulations, you mind share them materials? adewaleolajumoke02@gmail.com thanks in advance

Emerson500:
Hello guys, I've been silently follwing this thread for a while now. Want to thank you guys for the good job you are doing here.

Just got my IELTS now. First attempt LRSW - 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7. All thanks to God for the success. @einsteino and @yetunde84 thank you for the materials you shared. Was really helpful.

I have concluded my ECA for my MSc alone. Submitted my application on the 11th of october, my Uni requested a copy of my certificate and sent it along with my transcript to WES the following day as it was a UK institution and the process was seamless. Got my report on the 7th of November. Just getting ready to dive into the pool now. I should be swimming in lane 450

* DO NOT BOTHER REAPPLYING * Wow. Sir, never let anyone tell you you can do it. Go for it if you have to.

LadyGuinivere:

Sorry about your refusal but I will be blunt sir.
Before you went, it was clear to you and all that your ties are practically non existent. So what do you want to add or remove? That u magically got the money to pay? Or what?
A cochlear implant can be put anywhere.... Dubai, India, many other countries.
Do not bother reapplying. Your aunt can send you the money for the treatment and you can get it done cheaper sir

how im trying to be. Congratulations.

My Nairaland Family,

All glory to God!!

Finally got the golden mail today.

First my story.

We got interested in this journey in Jan 2015 when express entry was introduced, but we didn't take the 1st step till Sept of 2015 when we took our IELTS. Started following this thread around mid 2016. I started my ECA in January 2016. My ECA took 1 year to process all because I wanted to have my Unilag Diploma 1 certificate accessed to meet the then very high cut offs. The program was defunct and there was no trace of any records. Finally, records office generated the result from my statement and sent in December 2016, only for WES to totally ignore it. By this time, scores had started to come down. But I still needed the 25 points that 2 or more certs would have given. ECA came out in March 2017 as BSc only. At this point, we were still contemplating making wifey the primary applicant as she was younger and had a masters and an LLb but only 1 year work. Long story short, cutoff visited 413 in May just to pick us up. We submitted out application on the very last day. Time line below.

ITA- May 31st
AOR-29th August
Meds passed and IP1- Sept 12th
NA2-Sept 13th
File moved to London VO- Oct 25th(got message of how to find a job in Canada)
Sent mail to confirm VO on 12th Nov, got confirmation of London on the 15th
Request to pay RPRF- Dec 5th
PPR- Dec 6th

We used a gift deed and only a small part of my bank statement as the six month printout was too large to upload.

Marriage cert had Civil Engr(my education) my job was in another NOC.

No LOE or anything
No ADR even though wifey has had a couple of visa refusals in the past.

I would like to encourage us that there is absolutely no reason to fear the dreaded London Visa Office as our very imperfect application scaled through in a reasonable time. Package your application to the best of your ability, be truthful, and follow CIC's instructions.

All the best to all hopefuls..

Almost 6 weeks and WES still haven't done evaluating 3 transcripts. I TIRE

I SENT YOU AN EMAIL, MA'AM

MrsBee:
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention please.

Ielts result LRSW 9,9,7.5, 7.5
Thank you Jesus. Can't wait for eca to be complete and dive in

I was a lasuite too. My question is base on the certificate of a thing, Does it have to a certificate or i can fax my notification of result to WES? I 2nd what you said about requesting a transcript from Lasu, its very easy, all you have to do is visit lasu website and apply online and pay with quick teller.

area74:


I am a Lasuite. The process of getting transcript from the school is very easy. All you need to do is to apply and pay online. It is usually ready after 2 weeks. In fact, i'm through with my certificate verification. I submitted my certificate to WES via fax and applied to LASU for online verification of the certificate. It cost me 6k and everything was completed withing 2 weeks. I am currently waiting for my transcript to be sent to WES. I did that 2 weeks ago and paid about 21k to LASU.

@Kontagious, will I get a follow up from LASU, I mean, will I be called from the exams & records that the transcript has been sent because I have no means of reaching them and I can't leave my place of work for now?

Thank you.

Thank you. I requested for a private message so, you have to check your email. or you can pls write me. here is my emai. adewaleolajumoke02@gmail.com
