Long post alert
Very Silent reader
Had been planning to write here but very busy.
So just a few pointers as someone might need them.
PRE ITA TO COPR STAGE
Wrote IELTS and evaluated my M.Sc certificate + IELTS only from spouse
PCC Nigeria + Uk
Scanned each document and saved in individual folder for me,spouse and child
Funds in Savings account UK,just stamped statement of account + Oanda exchange + table for the conversion etc as funds were in GBP.
Reference letter was from Nigeria and not very detailed so attached other proof as experience was over 3 years ago.
Submitted nearly 1 week to deadline as was so busy with work etc( infact took annual leave)
Medicals wasn’t too straightforward, more test done and more cost plus logistics .
Got to Ip2 before medicals were passed, ordered GCMS note saw a few concerns particularly work experience- worthy to note is that my education and work experience were so parallel.
Immediately got more proof backing work experience and more LOE sent via CSE called CIC letter confirmed twas received.
Summary at the end interview recommended and attended- explained job duties in simple and practical terms to the VO etc was a wonderful time, good chat and advice on living as a PR as eligibility became passed.
Fees paid/PPR, had an issue with photo passports submitted , photos requested again, all sent. COPR received
Advice- pls write detailed LOE when something is not straight.
Follow up with CIC and panel physicians when necessary.
Pray to God and do lots of research especially if you have a unique situation.
APPLIED FROM UK, VISA OFFICE- LONDON, NATIONALITY- NIGERIAN.
For anyone waiting, may God bring your PPR,COPR,IELTS to you soonest in Jesus Name.
I really hope this answers someone’s question. Thanks to all those contributing and helping others.

Thank you very much dear vcole

@pmag2018, i flew air canada from London to Calgary, service was really good. Westjet is usually cheapest from gatwick to major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary et al. It's a 8.5hr flight.

Hi,
I'm just wondering how long it took you from AOR to PPR as you currently live in the UK. I reside in the UK as well on a tier 2 and got AOR in June.
Response will be appreciated

sorry for the late reply it took nearly 7 months

Thank you very much

Thanks a lot @salford1,I live in the UK and will be moving to Canada soon and searching for flights,I could see only expensive aircanada and the more affordable west jet,am more familiar with the European KLM and airfrance to the US and Nigeria from here but am yet to see direct flights from here to Canada with those European airlines, please I really need to know how reliable and safe they are.
Thanks again

Westjet is okay for domestic. I find them better than AirCanada. Not like we have so many airlines here anway. These two have monopolized the market and they fix cost of flying all the time.

I have never patronised them for international flight, but if I had a choice between flying WestJet or an European Carrier, I would fly with the latter.

Please how is west jet airline ? especially flights from UK to Canada? @dupyshoo,@salford,salford1,@blackbuddy,@maternal.
Thank you

Congrats newmum
