wiseleader:

Congratulations to the PR recipients.

How were you able to submit your remedicals. Was it through your profile or csc portal?

Dimple10:
yes for POF. print out the conversion page with date and attach with your bank statement when uploading. Also add extra to buffer for fluctuations.

chiada:
Thank you so much for the detailed response, God bless you. Please how do I go about notifying them and submit the birth certificate?



quote author=Reedahbaby01 post=112781587]Hello, congrats on your baby, considering the baby is still young I feel you should submit all other documents that are on ground like birth certificate,.... then try and see if you can get the baby's NIN(if those people do not grumble about the baby being young LOL), at the same time try and get an international passport also, whichever comes out first between the NIN and INTL passport, submit as well, go for medicals for the baby too, your BIL will likely soon drop, so it's better to have submitted some documents about the baby than just waiting for international passport so that when you pass the R10 stage your baby would have been included then you'll probably get an ADR for whatever documents the VO wants from your baby

Dimple10:
April 10 and nothing yet. i'll still be hopeful but

He may be required to undergo further medical tests at IOM based on the doctor's assessment. If everything is normal, he will be informed. Sometimes people experience transient Creatinine elevation, but IOM has to be sure he has no underlying medical condition before they submit a final report.

MrPein:


Hi. Your worry is valid but know that IOM will always inform applicants of any serious issues that can lead to a failed medical from IRCC and would advise the applicant if to do additional tests or not.
My advise is to call or visit IOM to clarify on the "Abnormal" parameter. It may be nothing but at least just for rest of mind.

Dimple10:
If IOM has sent the result i wouldn't worry too much becuase they would have requested he do a follow up test before sending.

Yellowmellow:


Don’t worry it can still happen for you. Hopefully it would drop today or next week latest cz it usually takes a month

Reedahbaby01:
at AOR
including your IELTS, POF (I'm not so sure)and others,let others comment, but I believe it's at AOR
edit: My bad, just did a little research and I found this on canada.ca
hope this helps

Maggiespecial:


Yes oooo

Please we are already in the pool hoping we will be among the first set they will send ITA too in July (by God's grace)
Please is it advisable to do upfront medical now and police report now??

Kindly advise.

Andyosifo:
If your score is 500 and above, you can book your medical for late July or early August, but for the police report, wait for ITA cos it has a short life span and it doesn't take too much time to get.

TheLee:
Hello everyone.

I submitted my application in August 2020.
Did biometrics in Sept 2020.
I had upfront medicals so I was good.
Last month, IRCC mailed me asking for lots of information to make a final decision they said.
- 6 months bank statement and PoF
- Schedule A/Background information form
-Travel history
- New police certificate
In all, they received over 100 pages on documents from me. I may have been extra in my response because I submitted everything they could ask, think, or imagine especially as a temporary resident in the US.
Submitted bunch of proof to show I was still in legal status in the US; W2s (for taxes), employment letters, paystubs, work authorization documents…
Having done that, does anyone know what’s the TL to expect a response?

Case is in Ottawa office.

Tbh, Accra direct and Abuja/lagos VFS takes almost the same timeline nowadays. If you aren't in a hurry,just use Lagos and give them 2 months max..use that time to tidy up things

Abuja VFS took 5 weeks for me, received passport on Thursday

Story of my PPR

My story began in 2016 during youth service, I wondered what was next and although I had a couple of promising options based on my skillset I wasn’t sure which way to go, if I was going to achieve my set out goals then I must overcome two categories of challenges, myself and my country.

You see, I chose to study physics because I needed that training to get myself into a career path I was very interested in, school disappointed me because of course, I didn’t get what I bargained for, I went into school thinking I was going to graduate as a bada** physicist with all the competence that I need to get sh** done but it was all theory, and boy the gap between theory and getting actual problems solved is no small leap, add erratic power supply and not so good outlook due to bad governance and so on, I decided to study in a developed country, long story short that didn’t work out, in one humiliating response while seeking funding for graduate studies a professor told me that my school wasn’t well ranked plus my grades (2:1) weren’t good enough.

It’s kuku not their fault, na me no get money to fund myself, so I switched to plan B (Express Entry). CRS cutoff was in the 430s - 440s range back then, so the plan was simple, work 3 years for POF and maximum work experience point, write IELTS and get ITA. But like many things in life, it didn’t turn out as planned. I completed youth service in 2017 and started work a few months after. Fast-forward 2 years and before I knew it cutoff was through the roof, complete POF was nowhere in sight based on salary (so I started forex and lost all the money I put in a few months after, I don suffer!), then I needed extra certificate and good IELTS result to improve CRS score but those wouldn’t come easy as well.

After all the IELTS success and failure stories I have read I still messed up, I didn’t bother to practice the writing section until I paid dearly for it after my first writing result came back as 6.5, result came out on 1st of July 2019, 75k up in flames and it was so painful, then I understood why my dad would beat the sh** out of me whenever I came back home with terrible results back in my unserious days in secondary school (story for another day). I wrote another IELTS 19 days after and the result was good enough although I didn’t max out, ECA was on ground already so I jumped right into the pool.

The struggle for extra certificate is another story, I enrolled in Open University for PgD in IT thinking it was going to be an easy one being a software developer, first semester result came out that same July I failed IELTS, and I had 2 As, 2 Bs, 1 C and 2 Fs, carry-over that I didn’t have throughout my first degree days, why me?! I already learnt about BCS as at then so I jejely advised myself to drop-out because the stress was killing me already, it took more time and effort than I expected plus the university’s process wasn’t the best it could be. I wrote the BCS exam in September and once again I failed 1 out of 3 courses, wahala be like bicycle o, back to back failure like I’ve never seen before all in one year. 2019 was a battle but the war continued. I rewrote the extra paper in March of 2020 before lockdown began and result came out fine in August but 5 points was already lost due to age.

With extra certificate evaluated I was sitting at 460 thereabout but this was during pandemic and my new score was no longer competitive. Frustration was beginning to set in and I had almost given up, the next hand I could play was to learn French, but God had other plans. After some gingering by my fiancé I started learning French and less than 2 months into it, December 15 2020 I got OINP notification of interest and that was how I closed chapter on learning French, the joy in my heart knew no bounds because I’ve been hoping for it, and even though it would cost me part of my POF I didn’t mind.

4 months and some ADRs after, nomination came in and CRS jumped by additional 600 points, ITA soon followed and at last, another major milestone and it felt so good. Post ITA began and this was the part where I got married to the LOML. But as you may imagine (or maybe not), there was yet another hurdle, getting passport! No paper and it was during that time NIS closed portal to cater for backlog while working on a new one for the new enhanced e-passport I think. We had to wait some time before applying and some more time before she could have her biometrics taken, all of these while deadline for ITA submission was counting, my saving grace was that submission deadline had been extended to 90 days during pandemic but that was barely enough time . Remember IELTS? That was about to expire in July, same month ITA will expire. And guess what, passport issuance was nowhere in sight.

4 days before IELTS expiration and about 1 week or so before ITA will expire, I submitted our application with her passport collection slip showing that showed that passport was already due for collection, then I added a LOE explaining what was going on with NIS backlog and the new enhanced e-passport portal wahala. 1 month post AOR, passport was issued and I quickly raised a webform for submission.
Disclaimer: I would not advise anyone to do this, for me it was a calculated risk that I didn’t lose sleep over. This was during the pandemic, IRCC wasn’t processing applications so well and was focusing more on CEC applications at the time so I figured the officer in-charge would relate with my plight.

At this point the process became boring and the long wait began, I closed the two EE tabs that lived rent free and always open on my phone browser until we got BIL in November, this thread and another one for July AOR on canadavisa dot com.

When PPR landed in April I had 8 months validity on my passport so I had to make a call, send to Accra and risk having it unstamped until there’s less than six months, then I’ll have to go through the stress of renewal which wouldn’t be so pleasant; or spend money sending it elsewhere to minimise that risk. It wasn’t cheap but it paid off, we got out passports stamped and returned in 10 days of sending to Berlin.

The path to success is not always a straight line so expect that life will throw you a curve ball once in a while. One lesson that I sometimes learn the hard way is that things just don’t always workout for me until it’s God’s time, the pandemic opened up more opportunities for me that I could have imagined, even if I had learnt and passed French back than I would be counting down to July for FSW to resume right now. At the end it could have only been God and I’m thankful it ended in praise.

Thank you all for keeping the thread going, to everyone at various stages of this journey, I wish you all the best.

Gracias.
