Dear Abakiki, Congratulations. Please i am an HR professional destined for Ontario too, please give me the watsapp number for the HR group i'll like to join.
I have a masters degree in HRM from the UK and i like to practice in Canada.
Let me follow in your footsteps by preparing in anticipatiom of my PPR.
Thank you.

ontarioissauga:
No, you didn't make any sense. So long as the NOCs are under 0,A or B job levels and skills types and one can stand as a primary NOC with 1 or 2 years. To max out experience is 3yrs oh.

Alright. I succumbed.

Enjoy your self.

abakiki:
PPR don show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post ITA:
Am an HR professional and since my destination is Ontario, I wrote to the HR governing body (HRPA) and started the process of getting certified while I waited for PPR. Never knew I would finish the whole process and PPR would still not have come, all thanks to AVO. I had to write series of exams in Accra as the HR exams are not written here in Nigeria. I wrote the first exam in Nov 2018, passed and was cleared to write the final exam in Jan 2019 (I am awaiting the result). It was a great distraction as AVO no just send us at all.


God Bless!

Thanks for the tip. I'm an HR professional as well and I've been trying to make a decision on this for a while now. This is my cue. Congratulations and may Canada favour you.

I’m waiting for her response also, if it’s same as CPHR you do not need to take the NKE exams since you have M.sc, I’m going through the masters path and I’ve writtten to them, they requested for WES course by course evaluation report and transcript, then they will waive the exams for me, I’m in the process of upgrading my ECA, before i send to them, you can try and contact them too. See attached the various paths. Please note that you must have minimum of 3 yrs HR experience to qualify for waiver. See attached

Really? I have an Msc and 3 years experience so I should be fine. Will reach out to them ASAP. But the one he was referring to is HRPA. Not sure which one is widely accepted. I think CHPR has different certifications for different provinces. Will check it out. Thank you.

abakiki:
PPR don show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To all my AVO brethren, I dedicate this PPR to you!!!

TIMELINE
I sat for IELTS 4 TIMES and on numerous occasions I thought of giving up for so many reasons for people like me who resides in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State…you either travel to Calabar or Ph to write IELTS it was never easy for me…but I was pushed by @bronze25 to keep trying..

1st IELTS; L.6.5,R.7.0,W.6.5,S.7.5
2ND IELTS; L.6.0,R.6.5,W.6.5,S7.0
3RD IELTS;L.7.5,6.5,W.7.5,S.7.0 (at this point I was going crazy…I even lost it a night to the 4th exam…)
4th IELTS; L.8.0,R.7.0,W.7.5,S.7.5
Then CRS stood at 462 at this point and the round of draws on the 15th of November 2018 was 449 (Naso ITA no drop on time…my wife was almost crying and she didn’t eat until when ITA dropped around 9.30pm)

ITA- NOV 15,2018
AOR- DEC 8TH 2018
MED/BIO NOTIFICATION- JAN 17TH
GHOST UPDATE- JAN 18TH
RPRF REQUEST- FEB 1ST and I paid on FEB 2ND
PPR MAIL- FEB 5TH at around 1.35am
Family size is 3, and my Visa office was in Ottawa.

My story was a funny one because I have been struggling since I graduated from Law school, my first salary as a legal practitioner was 10k (this was not even constant…sometimes I get January salary in March…my mother was the one sending me pocket money every month)…I was deeply in love with my University gf..same age,same class and same birth date…and we dated for 8yearsssss but when it seems I cant give her the life she wants and I really cant blame her….life was so bleak to me too..infact I only had one suit..she got a job in Lag and I was still earning 10k in Ibadan…so we grew apart but because I loved her I left my firm not knowing what Lagos hold for me….and started distributing my CV in Ikeja firms, went to all the Law firms in Western House and took me so many months before I could get a law firm that offered me 50k (also this was not constant as the man just started the firm and was in the process of building his client base but I was determined to make it in Lag).
When I don’t feel comfortable with the Lagos stress and the money does not commensurate with the stress and traffic (Mind you…I was born and bred in Ibadan so that Lagos life is what I never prayed for againnnnnnnnn) I decided to apply for US visa to run away and never look back but for where? Agent nearly killed me….he didn’t ask for vital information just filled rubbish..my education history was wrongly mentioned,he said I should claim married when at that time the girlfriend I left Ibadan for had not seen me in 4months, and to top it all the purpose of visit is to “attend my friends babby shower” I just knew I can never get that visa but he has been successful wit a lot of people and he was well recommended…so I attended the interview but the VO didn’t spend up to 3mins before he handled the blue paper to me….i wanted to cry but I continued with my life.
So everything started changing for me when I met my wife, she was in her final years when I met her and I swear when I first saw her I told her I want to marry you….she looked at me like a mad man,although I was still earning meagre salary at my law firm but within 3weeks of accepting my offer to date me(I am a very fine boy I just don’t have money at the time) she later told me she has been highing me too since the day she saw me and that infact 2 of her friends were interested in me….so within a period of 3 weeks of accepting my offer….i got my current job and the salary is something I never expected in my life!.....A Chinese company and my salary is times 8 of what I was earning in Lag….i fainted oooooo no be lie…it was when I got my first alert that it dawn on me that its real…..then I told my wife that I want to marry (ara baba ti kun) she was like my parents wont agree,they want me to do my masters in US….i was like I cant wait any longer,let me meet them and I will convince them….so she agreed that she should talk to her parents first and then hear there reactions…..naso everything finalize ooo…..the father only asked “is that what you want?” but the mother didn’t agree oooo until after 7months…even before she agreed to the nikkah date na war but now she is the happiest and mama dey always ask for the videos of her grandson….infact her nickname in her school is youngest grandmama because my mother-in-law is still sexy ooooo.
So I continued with my life, money kept flowing in and I have no reason to leave Naija…then my company kept sacking people for no reason,the project stopped coming in and my salary has been slashed 3times..but still it is still better than going back to law firm where they used you anyhow and yet get paid by peanuts….so I travelled home in my car in Dec 2017, and as I got to Benin…I had an accident my engine burst into two….i first had brake failure and then noticed that a lot of people were stranded on the road between Benin to Ore in Ondo state….i later heard that it’s a very common practice by the towing vehicle association on that road to pour some jazz during the festive period just to tow your vehicle to nearby mechanic shop…because there are so many vehicles and stranded passengers on that day with problem ranging from radiator,engine knock, tire getting bursted and accidents….the towing vehicle I saw agreed to tow my vehicle to a village for 100k…just few kilometres away and right there that I got tired of Nigeria….i saw people who have spent 4days on the road, I met a guy who just bought his car and was using it for Uber in Lagos…he bought two engines within 3days….and I was like if this notion is true why do we hate ourselves in this country…why would you make life difficult for your fellow countrymen just because you want to make money….so I paid just for my car to be safe, logged in a motel (my God, there was bed bug on the bed, tanwindin in the toilet and it was amosquitoe infested area) couldn’t sleep overnight….so when I got the car to Abeokuta thanks to my brother-in-law who brought a mechanic and drove down to Benin to tow the car…we started gisting and told him my ordeal he even spent over 5hrs in traffic because the road was so busy that day (24th of Dec 2017) so he was just mentioning developed country…talking about different means of transportation during holiday periods and how those people make life easy for their citizens, so he adviced me to apply to Canadian Universities because it was the easiest route(this was his belief that time) naso I started applying to various schools oooo….. TRU,Royal Castle University,Saskachewan,UBC,Winnipeg ….all the schools that was still open for admission not even thinking of my car (because I was to buy another engine) by January I was so broke that the last 15k was used to fuel my car….my wife and son had to follow me on road back to Uyo (I am always scared to fly so they always go by air while I go by road) and my son was just barely 3months then…infact I was just praying for us to have a smooth journey…and you know as January dey long…..how I survived Jan 2018 is unknown to me…..i was just entering keke up and down because my son needs comes first and I am just a salary earner with wife not working…then the wait for the schools to give me admission started….thats when for the first time in my life I joined Nairaland..started asking questions on the Student visa forum thinking atleast one of the school will give me admission………LOL I thought wrong,none of them give me admission! At this point, I have became close to @bronze25, we were both chasing Sasckatchewan LLM admission so when we were rejected, I was telling her that I will try again later(because I always thought school route is my best shot at entering Canada)..then I received my best advice from @bronze25 to apply for EE…I told her its an herculean task that someone introduced it to me in 2015 but everything involved seems like Greek to me….then she broke it down piece by piece to me and t[introduced me to this wonderful family…..and the rest is history.
I joined this e-family in part 3 or 4….and I posted my first question in March….the first person that took his time to respond to me step by step was @Mcstan….I can never forget…then everybody became helpful and the whole process became my Quran that I read everytime,everyday and everywhere until I became fully abreast with the whole process that I am graudually turning into an agent.

ECA
I did my ECA with IQAS, and my wife’s own with WES….it was pretty straightforward and it both came out as fast as possible…..i had a link at OAU transcript office so he helped facilitate it on time. This was before the WAEC buhahaa.
IELTS
This was a struggle on its own…me and wify was thinking it would be walk in the park, but we thought wrong her ielts was L.6.0,R.9.0,W.6.5,S7.0…she only did once and as the PA I only needed 8777 for us to beat the CRS Score at the time but……..i even thought I will never pass IELTS. I travelled to another states to sit for all the four exams…the last one was done in Lagos….i was going nut a night to the exam…I was so angry that I didn’t pick my wife’s call…I really don’t know what came over me that day…even my confidant that night said there was a tone she doesn’t understand….and @bronze25 really helped me in my writing…she just wanted me to succed…and my prayers for you is that your PPR will come before April…nobody has never had faith in me like you did, she just kept pushing me….she is a friend everyone should pray for….and funny thing about it is that we saw for the very first time on Jan 22 when I came to Lag for my biometrics.
POF
I only submitted my payslips(I am always paid in cheque) so I submitted one year cheque DEC 2017 to Dec 2018 and my sister gave me 3M….this has been in my account since June last year untouched (but I still did gift deed because they can ask for 1year salary statement) I didn’t do any money market fund….i just left all the money in my account.
MEDICALS
I was contemplating on IOM when my friend of 10 years @beeodun came through for a swap in Qlife…..i didn’t know it was my friend that was helping me out until we exchanged names to forward a message to Qlife then what followed was a story for another day….thanks dear for that kind gesture your PPR is soon.
I want to thank everybody @joo2018 @mcstan @ifeoma77 and everyone who has been of great help to this forum…I pray we all receive the goodnews soon….May God continue to bless each and everyone!

And in the voice of my brother @TEECANN “I HAS ENDED IN PRAISE AND IT WILL ALL END IN PRAISE FOR EVERYBODY READING THIS TESTIMONY” AAMEEN IN SHA ALLAH

Supersonic speed! Grace all the way,even with the flaws made by the agent in the U.S. visa refusal. May canada favour you.

If you are Toronto (Ontario) bound you should be looking at CHRP, other provinces CPHR.

The Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) is the entry level designation. It is also the best known HR designation in Canada and available exclusively from HRPA. Human Resources professionals at entry level may be entering the workforce, acting in roles that are mostly administrative in nature, such as a contributing role in a larger HR function, or a sole HR practitioner in a small HR function. Individuals in this level would have responsibilities such as supporting HR initiatives, executing tasks passed down from management, and operating at the tactical and transactional levels. They often have titles such as Human Resources Assistant, Staffing Coordinator, Human Resources Clerk, or Human Resources Coordinator.​

Really? I have an Msc and 3 years experience so I should be fine. Will reach out to them ASAP. But the one he was referring to is HRPA. Not sure which one is widely accepted. I think CHPR has different certifications for different provinces. Will check it out. Thank you.

Hello everyone, please I would like to know if anyone has written or is planning to write CIMA strategic case study. I need some help and pointers.
Thanks in advance

My final documents got to them on the 15 january and my status changed to recieved on the 16january

georgeehis:

They specified the arrival time in my notification mail. For speaking i discovered we were given specific time. Some one was given 4.20pm
For the others they said 7.30am

mimini:

Hi, please I need clarification as I'm considering possible scenarios. Medicals are due to expire in 2 months, even if PPR and COPR are issued within this time, chances of landing before expiration of medicals are very slim at this point. If asked to redo medicals (which hasn't been asked yet), is there a way to fast track this process? Will it be just a case of walking into any of the chosen physicians for this or one has to go through the long process of booking and is the amount to redo medicals same as the initial amount paid?
Thanks

ADR: for letter of consent from me regarding parts of the POF in my name; 5th December, 2018.

PPR!!!: 31st January, 2019.
Ottawa VO

AOR to PPR: 121days (4 months approx.)

Documents submitted

1. Marriage certificate
2. Employer's reference letter (CIC) standard,
3. Her SOA
4. Letter of no indebtedness for her credit card.
5. My 6months SOA from two banks (this is because I transferred bulk amount from my GTB to Stanbic-IBTC to makeup the amount there.
6. TB certificate
7. Letter of no indebtedness from GTB (Stanbic-IBTC no gree give me this one).
8. Gift deed from parents.
9. Letter of no objection from me.
10. Her MSc.
11. Our PCC (note she didn't use Canadian PCC, both are done here in Nigeria).
12. LOE (we used this basically for clarification, like explaining the over lapping dates in my history, etc).

We entered 1P2 from day one of AOR

ADR: 5th December, 2018. and submitted 7th December, 2018. This showed NA just few hours after upload. Later changed to "we're reviewing the additional document you provided" around 25th January, 2019.


NB. We ain't sure why the ADR cos we had submitted same letter that was requested. Although the 1st letter of consent from me wasn't notarized. We had to notarize it and resubmitted same.

It wasn't easy for us. My wife (Sweetgirl, as I humbly call her) travelled since August 2017 for study. We were dealing with staying alone without each other, which was unexplainable. To make the matter worse, we lost my job on March 2018 and my side hustle wasn't steady. Well you can only imagine the emotional trauma.
At a point, around early December last year "i" stopped checking our CIC account, nairaland and even Facebook group page. This is because "I" needed to take my mind off this and handed it over to God.

Wait a minute, did we tell you that it affected my health?
Oh yes, it did. No wife, No work and No PPR. Chaii! It's well.

When she informed me that our application has been approved with the recorded call she made with IRCC agent, I didn't understand it honestly, but after some time while on the video call with her, I found myself dropping tears.

After about 2hours from the time she called CIC on the said 31th January, 2019, at about 17:32pm GMT, THE GOLDEN EMAIL DROPPED.
Na so your brother in the Lord lost it in praise, no key, no Davidic note or octave your brother no sing that day ooo!

We ordered GCMS note which should be due by 15th of this month. Well they can keep it and also the change. Lol!
Anyways, the GCMS note was at 0$ cos it's free when you apply from Canada.

Well from our experience and other people's experiences, I can say that the preparation, application processing duration and positive outcome is all by God's Grace 100%.

However, please make the work easy for the VO by submitting a simple but detailed documents.

I only wish we all will continue this way in Canada by sharing information without bringing our Nigerianess along.
Na so Chinko people take dominate Canny-land ooo.

To all those still considering starting the process, please take a leap of faith IF IT'S GOD'S WILL FOR YOU. ECA (WES) dey call your name o.

To all those battling IELTS, please don't give up. One more try can change the story.

To all those in the pool, please open your arms to accept ITA

To all those gathering documents + POF issh. Please don't worry trust me, the way God will do it will surprise you.

To the Masters waiting for the GOLDEN EMAIL, please start writing your timeline cos you're the next.

And for those still hanging in Ghana VO, God has started breaking the jinx. Expect PPR rain from GHANA soon.

All these I humbly pray and ask in Jesus Name. Amen!

IT ENDED IN PRAISE.
YOURS SHALL END IN PRAISE TOO. AMEN!

Amica26:
My sister the thing tire me ooo.... I am still awaiting ECA ooo. IQAS wahala. Las Las it shall end in praise!

ECA must come. IELTS was the wild card and that has been settled. It'll definitely end in praise

We entered 1P2 from day one of AOR

ADR: 5th December, 2018. and submitted 7th December, 2018. This showed NA just few hours after upload. Later changed to "we're reviewing the additional document you provided" around 25th January, 2019.


NB. We ain't sure why the ADR cos we had submitted same letter that was requested. Although the 1st letter of consent from me wasn't notarized. We had to notarize it and resubmitted same.

It wasn't easy for us. My wife (Sweetgirl, as I humbly call her) travelled since August 2017 for study. We were dealing with staying alone without each other, which was unexplainable. To make the matter worse, we lost my job on March 2018 and my side hustle wasn't steady. Well you can only imagine the emotional trauma.
At a point, around early December last year "i" stopped checking our CIC account, nairaland and even Facebook group page. This is because "I" needed to take my mind off this and handed it over to God.

Wait a minute, did we tell you that it affected my health?
Oh yes, it did. No wife, No work and No PPR. Chaii! It's well.

When she informed me that our application has been approved with the recorded call she made with IRCC agent, I didn't understand it honestly, but after some time while on the video call with her, I found myself dropping tears.

After about 2hours from the time she called CIC on the said 31th January, 2019, at about 17:32pm GMT, THE GOLDEN EMAIL DROPPED.
Na so your brother in the Lord lost it in praise, no key, no Davidic note or octave your brother no sing that day ooo!

We ordered GCMS note which should be due by 15th of this month. Well they can keep it and also the change. Lol!
Anyways, the GCMS note was at 0$ cos it's free when you apply from Canada.

Well from our experience and other people's experiences, I can say that the preparation, application processing duration and positive outcome is all by God's Grace 100%.

However, please make the work easy for the VO by submitting a simple but detailed documents.

I only wish we all we continue this way in Canada by sharing information without bringing our Nigerianess along.
Na so Chinko people take dominate Canny-land ooo.

To all those still considering starting the process, please take a leap of faith IF IT'S GOD'S WILL FOR YOU. ECA (WES) dey call your name o.

All these I humbly pray and ask in Jesus Name. Amen!

IT ENDED IN PRAISE.
YOURS SHALL END IN PRAISE TOO. AMEN!

Amen, Mon of God...
CONGRATULATIONS

My Goodness! See speed
