im post AOR and i need to reach ralph, can someone please give me the contact email?

goodale@sasktel.net

ladymarshall:
On a second thought, can you email Ralph or Hussein while waiting for Accra to reach out to you?

Perhaps they can provide clearer specifics on your file

cc @pejuhazel

Already mailed them, Ralph didn't tell us anything new and still waiting on a response from Hussen

Ifeoma77:
There's no reason to start panicking, it's a recommendation. It can be reversed later.
And if it isn't, the interview invite will reveal why ...that's the time when help and preparation tips would come in handy because then, those who've travelled that road will provide insight that is specific to the situation

Thanks, I understand that it's no reason to panic but it's frustrating cos it's 7 months and it's been complete silence, they don't even response to emails and CSE. I guess I'm just going to have to keep waiting for them to reach out, thanks again.

Noctis:
I just received my gcms notes and it raises more questions than it answers.

Eligibility says recommend interview, info sharing is complete, medicals is passed, security and criminality are not started.

The review from the cases processing agent at the Centralized intake office doesn't raise any concerns and verifies all the information and documents concerning work history, family composition, settlement funds, education, etc. as fine.

The review by the Program Assistant says pretty much the same thing except for this line "POLICE CERTIFICATE ---Primary Applicant Nigeria police certificate: Provided-NRT United Kingdom police certificate: Provided-NRT R10 OK Recommendation: Review Required (my wife is the primary applicant and she schooled in the UK briefly, all documents requested in this regard were provided)

As far as I can see there's no reason stated in the gcms notes for an interview recommendation but there it is in the very first page. Also the delay, my application was submitted almost 7 months ago and the last activity I registered was when the background check section of our profile changed to "not applicable" over a month ago, and before that when I got and answered an additional documentation request in April.

I would really appreciate any suggestions concerning my next move. Visa office is Accra.

Cc Topmamen, LadyMarshall, Ifeoma77, jennypharb1 and any one who can help us.
Thanks

snowlordng:
Guys pls I need urgent ans ...am migrating to canada through the newly lunched caregiver program ....I have gotten a job remaining to apply for visa .....my problem is that I have 3 children who are bearing their father's surname and am like a single mother cause their father went to Europe when they were small and we didn't do traditional marriage or wedding all we did was normal introduction to our parents ...pls how am I going to prove to Canadian immigration that am the mother of the 3 children since we're are not bearing same surname .

What is stated on their birth certificates?
You can get an affidavit stating you're their mum and try as much as you can to get a letter from their dad stating that the kids are in your sole custody and that you're free to travel with them. You can then include an LOE, to explain that You are not married to their father and he is not in their lives as he lives in Europe and this is why you do not bear the same surname with them.

Sashafiercediva:
Greetings. please for the proof of relationship with spouse documents i have questions
1.Can i print out pages of my account statements highlighting transfers between us?
2. My account still shows my parents address,though we just got married. Does it matter?

I don't think that's sufficient, you need to show correspondence between you two like chats and call logs as well as pictures.

kaymolla:

Congratulations, really happy for you.
Please what's your VO?

CheesyTee:
He never said he wants to claim single. He said he is married and wants to declare spouse unaccompanying.

Sorry, I misread

Topsmamen:
@the bolded, yes he can.

Ok but he can't claim he's single.

CheesyTee:
But the points he will get as married with non-accompanying spouse will be same as single applicant. Declaring that the spouse will accompany post ITA will reduce his points too as CRS will be recalculated. No?

Yes but since he's married he has to state it and I don't think he can switch back to spouse accompanying after getting ITA. Even if he can his score will be recalculated.
Saying he's single when he's married is misrepresentation.

CheesyTee:
Yes, but if you add her post ITA, your score will be recalculated and if the point is lower than the cutoff CRS with which you got ITA, your application will be denied.

Cc stencil topsmamen I’m correct, shey?

Wrong, he is already married so he has declare that whether or not she is accompanying. He could've been able to add her if he was single before submission then got married after.
@slydog

I did mine at police headquarters in area 10 but a lot of people also go to Louis Edet house, just walk in, tell them what you want and they'll attend to you. It's a pretty straightforward process.

Chamberlain76:
Hello beautiful people of Canada,

Please is there anyone here who has done PCC in Abuja? And who is the contact there?

I'm not in the December AOR WhatsApp group.

gbemlad:
yes, your file is at Accra right, cos I know you said something about it sometime ago. It is well oo, mine is at Ottawa the last time I checked. Are you a member of DECEMBER aor WhatsApp group?? Would like to join. Thanks

I guess we are AOR mates. I've decided not to check anymore, when they're ready they'll call for me. Be strong

gbemlad:
Hello everyone, I have been a coded silent reader. But I am coming out of my silent mode. It's been 181 days since I submitted my application. I saw Jennypharb1 and titilola's post yesterday and that triggered me to comment. It hasn't been an easy ride at all, the days I wake up in the middle of the night and remember my NOC and job designation doesn't match well, the day I see people from recent aor sharing PPR stories, the days I have dreams of request letter sent to my mail. Infact I dread checking my profile because it has always been on submitted shortly after medicals was passed. Hmmm, I am ranting abi, my sincere apologies. I would like to commend the selfless people on this thread, this gives me hope that Nigeria can still be better. I love ifeoma77, the day she got her PPR, I silently danced and was elated as if it was mine. LadyMarshall, ure doing a great job, would like to meet this two angels when I get to canny. Please permit me to pm you titilola and Jennypharb1. And I would like to be added to December aor WhatsApp group. Happy Canada day people.

Don't worry, as long as there is life there will be a way out. You could use some other experience you have, maybe your NYSC.

Eraytee:
thanks for this post God bless you, I couldn't find my NOC (2113- Geoscientists) in the employers list in the link. this is so painful for peeps in my shoes. we are so limited to options as regard to this PR thing, we dont even have PNP or whatever options available to other NOCs. only EE (FSW) is available for us. it will end in praise for us all.

teechedah:
Did they do ECA, IELTS & Create EE profile before applying or what?

I hear some employers request IELTS but someone who got her PPR through the program said she started her IELTS and ECA after applying for jobs. Hanna007 has created a thread, check it out and ask your questions over there.
https://www.nairaland.com/5273969/re-immigrate-canada-through-aipp

The few people who I've heard apply under the program all gor their jobs here in Nigeria. I still think it's worth giving a try.

CheesyTee:
I will like to add that, designated employees under AIPP preferred to employ applicants who are on ground (maybe on tourist visa for instance).

You have to be physically present in Canada to have such chance.

Each province has participating employers, you can find a list online just Google it. You apply through their website.

teechedah:
Thanks a lot for sharing this, God bless you.Now my question is, how can someone apply for job? Through online search or someone has to get a job code or be in the express entry pool to participate?

This is an explanation of the program from someone in the process:
First of all you will need to find a job and then ask the employer if they are willing to support your PR application thru AIPP or not. Because they will have to do lot of paperwork and disclose some business documents to the government. Small business might not want to do it.

Second, if they are willing to do it then the employer will need to apply to be a designated employer. There are forms and required documents that have to be filled by employer and submit it to the provincial gov't. If approved, the next step is filling endorsement application forms and get a settlement assesment from immigration officer. The immigration will refer you to go to a place where an officer will assess what you need to settle down in the province, for example need a living place, or english course, etc. Its for free. The result of the assessment will need to be submitted along with the endorsement application forms. If approved by provincial govt, the provincial govt will give you endorsement letter.
This letter has to be submitted along with your PR application to the Federal. After you got endorsement letter, you are on your own. I meant, you dont need your employer to do paperwork for you anymore. This part is employee's part.
All the best

For anyone having issues getting a high CRS after trying all you can, maybe because of your age or ielts especially in this era of 460's and 470's, you should consider the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program.
The IELTS requirement is low (CLB 4 or higher) as well as the POF required. The catch is you have to get a job for you to be eligible but this isn't impossible as each province has participating employers.

JudahO:
I have been asked to fill the additional family information form but the issue is I can't remember the date of birth I filled for one of my half brothers. Is there a way I can see what I filled? What do u suggest I do. Thanks

Is the WhatsApp group only for people who have gotten PPR?

Claire18:
Pre arrival services cannot be over emphasized.
The webinars are so helpful. In fact, I was added to a WhatsApp group, where info is always shared.
Just yesterday, someone was giving out good furniture for free somewhere in Ontario.
Get advice and assistance with resume and cover letter.
Most especially, links and links to research to make the transition easier.

Send me a pm if you're still looking to join

JapD:
Hello house.

Can someone please help with Accra VO WhatsApp group link? The links I found are not working. Thanks in advance.

Dinma27:
Please also, can my husband be the PA and my own account statement be used? Or the money has to be in his account?

You can use your account statement but you will have to write a letter stating that the money there is accessible to your husband for your EE application.

Anikulapu:
Morning all NL family, please when is AVO going to start issuing again oo.... or as anyone heard of them issuing of late ?

It's been total silence from them for a while now, the only people who I've heard got PPR are those who went there for interviews. They can't be silent forever, one day one day they must answer.

pyruvateluv:
Hmmm...my people I really don't know how to start this gist�. It's not PR neither is it ITA. It is victory over IELTS

At last, big congratulations to you

wyzoe:
I informed my office yesterday, there were quite a few hugs, firm handshakes and a teary eye or two. Even people who don't talk much to me said they'd miss me.

One said I should carry her asoebi cloth to Canada so I won't forget her. That was funny

Congratulations and wishing you a successful landing. Hope to join you soon

dapsey92:
Hello guys, need this urgent clarification for a friend... He's married with kid but did not do court marriage. He wants to join the EE race however the wife is not educated and if applied as married may not get him ITA. Question: Can he apply as single, settle in Canada then do court wedding afterwards to sponsor the wife? Also the child they have together won't he be affected? Thanks guys... Its urgent to save someone from this country situation

He can't apply as single cos that is misrepresentation, he cab however apply as spouse unaccompanying. But if his CRS is enough to cover them both there's no reason to leave her behind, they can go do a court wedding and write an LOE to explain that they just decided to make their union official.

Jennypharb1:
Amen. My dear I've called all the callables, gotten same response since March, eligibility met, security and criminality not yet started. Mailed Ralph, the person who responded was talking about replying to constituents blah blah, mailed one other guy like that, no response. The agent on my last call said she was going to send a note to the officer processing my file or something, I think she did cos I got one generic 'your file is currently in line for review' but we can't be bothered right now mail. Nothing person fit do again. I can't come and go and kill myself.

Bottom line is it'll come sha, will be praying for you

Na wa o, it'll end in praise. All the best

Abiodunnn:
Same here. I don't know either of them, yet i pray for their PPR anytime I come across their posts. Pejuhazel and jennypharb, soon.....very soon

Thank you

ladymarshall:
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you. It has ended in praise. I thought of you on Monday and prayed you'd get PPR soon, only I didn't write it here

Eagerly waiting for your PPR story. Please elaborate o. I would expect more from a senior that has been very active in this thread and the sister thread since 2017 (yes your posts live on, read them all )

@pejuhazel @jennypharb1 you're next o. Praying for you both. Make CIC release una PPR asap, e don too tey

Thank you my sister. I mailed Ralph today and got a response that "eligibility requires review, criminality and security checks have not been initiated". The eligibility part is what is getting me worried and AVO do not respond to emails, so I guess my best bet is GCMS. Thanks foe checking in though, I pray we all have good news to share very soon.
