Please house, how do one go about signing a gift deed when the two people are far apart? Can I sign and scan the document to the other person to sign.

I think it is a good idea to put in a couple of them so the examiner see that you know it. There are bigger issues to worry about though. Tone for instance, when you write a sentence like "I have really missed you and our chitchat", that is very informal even without the contractions. Another is issue-relevant vocabulary. The kind of language you use in describing your new house or new town is different from that of a movie or an insurance issue or flight issue etc

See this page

https://www.ieltsadvantage.com/2015/06/08/how-to-write-an-informal-ielts-letter/

If I were you, I would worry more about losing marks in Task 2 because it is about (or more than) 60% of your writing score. Remember the 80/20 principle. Task 2 is always formal and sometimes task 1 can be formal, semi-formal or informal. There are greater chances of you writing formal than informal in IELTS writing.

nice essay. please house, will one loose marks or get a low score if one does not use contractions like i'm , I've etc.For informal essay like the Above ?

MY PPR STORY

First of all I am so grateful to the Almighty God! It was not an easy one.. I am not a woman of many words but I’l like to give back to the thread by sharing my journey.

PRE EXPRESS ENTRY
I heard about express entry from a colleague at work sometime in 2016, she told me how her brother and his wife migrated through the EE route to Canada, this immediately piqued my interest.
I discussed with my sister who lives in the US about Express Entry and she encouraged me to do some research on it, na so I enter google o! lol. While doing my findings I came across this awesome thread and started reading from part 1. The wealth of information I got made me more and more interested in EE. I had wanted to start the process then but one thing held me back— (My then Boyfriend, Now Hubby) Anyways, I was not ready to embark on the journey on my own and I wasn’t sure I could survive staying so far away from my man. So I hinted him about EE and he was really supportive of the idea but said he was not ready to leave the country yet! HMM.. he encouraged me to start the process, but I knew I didn’t want to go alone.. so I stalled and didn’t do anything about EE; giving oga time to rethink his decision. Meanwhile, I kept on following the thread and seeing more and more people get PPR got me more determined to do this.
Fast forward to 2017… I decided to start the process with the mindset that “what will be, will be”
TIMELINE:
IELTS – 10/11/17
ECA - 16/11/17
AOR- 22/6/18
MEP- 6/7/18
IP2 -- late July
Got married in August
ADR to add spouse-- 15/8/18
Submitted spouse docs -- 13/9/18
spouse UCI -- 14/9/18
1st Ghost Update - 26/10/18
ADR 2--- 10/1/19
2nd Ghost Update -- 7/3/19
PPR -- 8/3/19

ECA—I chose WES to do my ECA and it took forever for me to get my transcript from IMSU.. my cousin who stays in owerri had to go back and forth my uni before they sent to WES. (God bless her for me), it took about 3months in total to complete the process. Eca Report was ready on November 16, 2017

IELTS – while ECA was on-going, I registered and started preparing for ielts.. I concentrated more on writing and listening (especially map), materials I used were Ielts Liz, ielts mini and ielts advantage. Also watched a lot of youtube videos. IELTS result came out on November 10, 2017 -- LRWS –8.5,8,7.5,7.5

By the time WES report came on Nov 16th, 2017, I had missed the draw of November 15th, 2017 with cut off 439 …... My crs was 441 and the draws never came down to 441 till April 25th, 2018 ….I remember how disappointed I was whenever there was a draw but I was hopeful and it finally came down in April. Infact, I celebrated as if I received PPR on that day cos it took almost 5months waiting for ITA.

PCC – I did my PCC for 5k at alagbon with Inspector Moshood.

MEDICALS – I did my medicals at children’s practice, it was a horrible experience as the place was very rowdy with only 1 person attending to all the people there that day. I regretted using them and when it was time for hubby to do his, We chose Q-Life for him, he had a better experience than I did.

WORK REFERENCE - This was easy to get as my HR didn’t have any issues giving me a letter in CIC format.

POF – 70% of Pof was in fixed deposit with 30% balance as gift deed from my Dad, so I submitted investment letter from bank, Bank letter in CIC format, notarized gift deed, statement of account and 6months payslips.

After submitting my Application then the wait began, constant checking of my profile and hoping I’d have a speedy timeline, little did I know I was in for a long wait.
Anyways, My babe and I got married in August, I notified CIC the next week, no response from them, I had to send them reminders and raised CSEs till they finally responded giving us 30days to submit a list of forms, marriage cert, pcc,proof of relationship pics, questionnaires etc.
We put all the documents together as quickly as we could, provided lots of old pictures from when we started dating to trips we had taken together with family and friends to show our marriage wasn’t arrangee (babe and I have been together for 7years hence we had lots of proof. We submitted in September and then MORE silence.

On 10th the of October 2018, We ordered GCMS notes, we got a ghost update on the 26th of October and I started getting excited thinking PPR was close, for where! People were getting PPR left, right and center but it didn’t come near us o, hmm .. GCMS notes refused to come and we were in the dark not knowing what was going on with our application, then in November we decided to call CIC, it was hard getting to speak with any agent, we kept trying until it went through and I was given the shocker I had been dreading….. Our file was transferred to ACCRA VO and they didn’t have access to our file.. I was so sad after that call, knowing how Accra can be slow, I was moody for daysss guys, It was that bad, Hubby was quite confident that all was well.
By December we had completed 6months, hmm na so I begin bombard them with mails and CSEs, all we got were generic replies! It was so frustrating, all this while GCMS we ordered since October hadn’t arrived, followed up with GCMSbuddy and they kept responding that our notes had been marked as priority blablabla.. I was so upset at this time cos we couldn’t make any proper plans and everything was on hold.

January 10th I got a mail to check my account and it was ADR for spouse PCC and updated Schedule forms for both of us, I was happy, at least someone had picked up our file. Dear hubbs had to go to alagbon to re-do his PCC as the one we submitted earlier in September had exceeded 3months, we didn’t want to take chances.. we submitted ADR on the 13th of January and then silence again. Finally our GCMS notes came on the 25th of January since October.. I was sha relieved everything looked good.

Also in January, while waiting for PPR to come I decided to change my passport from maiden to my marital name so that my PR card won’t have different surname from hubby’s (personal decision tho), so I did passport change of name at Ikoyi for 45k, sent new passport to ACCRA with affidavit for change of name and they updated my profile to my marital name .

Lots of delayed June applications started getting cleared in February and when the thing nor reach me, I followed up with mails and CSEs again oo yet nothing, So I sent ACCRA a short emotional mail on the 6th of march, finally got visited by another ghost update on the 7th!! I was so sure PPR was around the corner and then Finally on the 8th of march, by 5:24pm I got an email to check my account.. I hurriedly Logged on and there it was sitting pretty!! The Golden mail!! I was ecstatic!
It Ended in Praise!!! Special thanks to the Almighty God for making my dream a reality!

Thank You to all you amazing people who take out your time to keep the thread alive! Thanks to the 2 amazing ladies who always responded to my mails @Glitteringstar and @Newmum0625 God bless You Guys!!

Passports were submitted today 11/3/19 at VFS.
I wish everyone waiting at any stage of your application a speedy timeline in Jesus name! Amen!

Guysssss!!!!


THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!!!!!


ISSA GOLDEN MAIL THINGS!!!

Here is my “brief story”… read at your own risk:


I have always believed that someday I would relocate fully out of Nigeria… whether it was for studies or something.. I just knew that my place was not this Naija. This was some years back.
Well, in 2011… when I was writing my ICAN, I had made friends with a couple of colleagues (also writing) the exam with me. One of them gave me some hints that he really wanted to leave Naija soon.. but never told me how. I also never bothered to ask.
I lost his contact, but got it back in 2014, only for me to see the kind of “abroad” pictures he was posting. I was like, “hope you are enjoying your vacation ooo” and he was like… “ Nooo.. this is not a vacation! I live here”
O boy!! That was how my ear/antennae just stood up ooo… I started interrogating him like an FBI agent… I asked him about the immigration process and how he went about it. He simply just sent me a link to read up on…. And that was the end. I was demotivated even before reading it properly. That was how I gave up on the idea.
In 2016, I stumbled on Australian immigration information and followed it gracefully. I gathered all the necessary information I needed and saved on my system. Good thing is that, I have never been that person to embark on a journey without thoroughly researching and asking myself very tough questions. I was so ready to embark on it… but did not have the funds. Well, the issue was not even the funds per se, but the fact that when I informed my parents about it, they totally kicked against it. Their argument was that, Aussie was too far and it would make me forget Naija. My relatives also added to this perspective, with examples of my distant cousins that had gone to Aussie many years ago but had not returned. I was completely discouraged and let this phase slide again.
After the above incidences, I had now decided to face my “Nigerian fate”… and so focused solely on my work and all.
In December 2017, while going home with one of the staff of my clients, she kept asking me about my career, what I intended to do in the medium to the long term etc. I kept downloading my plans passionately to her. I kept emphasizing on the professional exams I was set out to do, how I looked forward to growing through the career ladder in Nigeria and so on…. If only I had known that all those plans discouraged her from telling me about the Canada immigration EE process, I probably would have kept quiet. She told me later after I had commenced the process, that she wanted to tell me about the EE process, but seeing how passionate I was about the “Nigerian Plans” made her hold that key information back.
Well, fast forward to April 2018, while working at the office, I overheard one of my close friends/colleague telling another colleague about the EE immigration process and how he had gotten his Visa and bought his ticket ahead of his exit in August 2018. Immediately I heard that, I interjected, then asked him to brief me on the full information. Funny enough, the person he was telling was acting uninterested back then despite informing him about the process since far back 2017.
Well, as a sharp guy who had been looking for such an opportunity, I asked him what it would entail… and he gave me a brief highlight based on his knowledge about it. I was not satisfied with what he told me, so went ahead to research on it myself. That was when I stumbled on this thread and decided to feed on it like it was breakfast and Lunch. I dwelt there for days reading from the past information and PPR stories (days of Dupyshoo and Zandora etc). Then I knew I had to commence immediately.
However, I remember clearly that when my friend told me about the associated financial commitment for a single applicant, my heart sank… as I wondered how I would have been able to finalize my POF. But God came through for me.
I registered immediately for my IELTS in April to be written in May… and immediately sent my B.Sc and ACCA transcript (membership certificate) to Wes for evaluation.

IELTS
First IELTS was written in May: Lost out in Listening as I had 7.5 (BC)
Second IETLS was written on 7 July: LSRW – 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7 (BC)
Prior to the first IELTS, I had practiced a bit, but was slightly over confident because I felt that it was just a simple test of English which shouldn’t have been a problem at all for me. I however practiced the maps for a whole day using YouTube, and became a master in it as I was not failing any questions on maps anymore. Unfortunately, maps did not come out in the first exam.
When the result came out that morning, I was not happy with myself, but I told myself that I would channel all that efforts to scheduling for another exam. I was reading negative comments all over the place, on groups and so on… especially people that did not pass the exams like me… but I shut out those thoughts to avoid being discouraged.
Immediately the next day came, I quickly scheduled for another, raised the draft of N75,000 and paid to BC. I thought that this would motivate me to read ooo… but boy!! My work wouldn’t allow me. There was absolutely no time at all. The night before the exam, I just skimmed through some lines and slept off… went for the exam the next day… and the rest, they say, is history!

Educational Credential Assessment
I used the conventional WES for my ECA… and it was a smooth ride. Luckily for me, they were not requesting for WAEC then.
So I reached out to my school to send my transcript (which took just between 14 – 21 working days) and to ACCA which took 14 working days. Also, note that I commenced the ECA transcript transmission alongside my preparation for IELTS. I also sent my B.Sc. and ACCA membership certificates to WES via Hellofax.
My WES report came out on 19 June 2018 with a summary of “2 or more degrees”. This was a complete breeze. In fact, I didn’t have to reach out to them for any information or complaints.

ITA
As at 20th July, 2018… I had my IELTS result and ECA ready… but did not dive into the pool because of my funds were not completely in the state I wanted it. I had to wait for some more funds before diving. I had a score of 468, so I was certain that I would get ITA once I dived. So I made up my mind to patiently wait till I was ready.
I had timed September 5 as my chosen ITA date… so I entered the pool on September 1. I got ITA and was so excited. It felt so surreal. Immediately, I swung to action and started to follow up with all necessary documentation.

Post ITA
i. PCC
This was a breeze. In fact, I had gotten a contact from my friend that told me about the EE process, I called the person a day before I went there. I took a one-hour break during my lunch time at work, went to their office asking of the Police officer I spoke to a day earlier. That was when I realized the guy had retired. However, the person he told me to ask of, happened to be his successor. The finger prints were taken, all the necessary things were done, price was negotiated to my desired 5k, then I picked up my completed PCC and headed back to work. I was happy!
I scanned the pink copy along with the finger printed copy and merged both together using my Adobe Acrobat. I attached the document to the PCC place holder

ii. Passport photograph
This was snapped a day before I did the PCC at LUTH. I also got the contact from my friend. I ensured to take both soft and hard copy of the pictures before leaving the place. I ensured that the pictures were well measured in my presence in line with CIC requirements. The guy was experienced on CIC requirements, so it was hassle free exercise. The price was also very reasonable.
I attached the soft copy version to the placeholder in my EE profile.

iii. Educational Certificates
As usual, I merged my University B.Sc Certificate with my ACCA membership certificate, ECA report and IELTS report using Adobe Acrobat. I attached the merged documents to the relevant placeholder in my App. I used Nigeria as the ACCA location, as this was where I wrote the exam.

iv. International Passport and travel documents
This was also scanned and attached to the relevant placeholder.

V. Medical Assessment
This was where I faced my second challenge through the EE process. I attempted to go through the normal route like everyone. Called IOM, Children’s Practice and Q-life to book… Lo and behold, the prices of IOM and Children’s practices were ridiculously high, so I took them completely off my list. Unfortunately, Qlife that was fairly priced, was booked till about October 20 something. I knew that I couldn’t wait till then, so I had to device a quick alternative. Then the idea of gate crashing came to my mind.
The next day, I left my house very early, arrived there before 7 am and wrote my name down. I thought it was that automatic. Well, after such a long wait till about 8:30, the tests commenced. However, before they commenced, they separated those that had booked from those that had not, just like me… I was disheartened. They told us to go to the reception to book our test dates. Upon arriving there, the receptionist recognized my name and tried to confirm why I had come earlier than the supposedly booked date of 20 something. I immediately pleaded with her, and told her that I had received ITA, and need to do it urgently as it was time bound. She empathized with me and decided to reschedule me for the next day.
I was so excited and did not worry about the lost time for the day. I came to the hospital the next day (19 September 2018) for the test. All was completed and results were fine.
I just scanned the up-front medical slip and attached to the relevant placeholder in my application.

vi. Proof of Funds (POF)
This was gathered overtime but ready long before my ITA. My complete POF was ready by August as I had to sell my car to make up the outstanding balance. It was so saddening as I began to trek and my mobility reduced drastically. Infact when I was to sell the car, I had my fair share of challenges.
The car dealer I gave to sell the car on my behalf suddenly claimed that one of the most important vehicle documents was missing, the Customs document. I was so shattered. How on earth could this get missing? Did I forget it when I went to make photocopies? Or was the dealer trying to play a smart one on me?? Those were few of the numerous thoughts I had. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a single copy of the document and potential buyers were not in any way willing to risk purchasing the car without these document, despite its clean physical outlook. At the end of the day I had to part with some substantial sum of money to get another one from Customs.
Well, I sold it, added it to the funds I previously had and placed all in a Fixed Deposit (FD) investment split into 70% (due in 6 months) and 30% due in 1 year. I ensured that the bank clearly stated that “the funds could be retrieved at will”… and the fact that only a percentage of the interest would be affected and not the principal sum that was booked.
I scanned the FD certificate, merged it with a screenshot of foreign exchange for CAD to Naira on October 4, a certificate of non-indebtedness and my 25% pension (for the purpose of fluctuations in exchange). I merged these documents and attached in the relevant placeholder.

vii. Reference Letter
This was another slightly shaky area. I actually thought that it would be a walk in the park, but how wrong I was. I obtained a reference letter from one of my past places of employment where I had spent 3 years, but felt the need to go the extra mile to obtain same from my current place of employment. This was because I felt they might have still asked. Getting the 3 year reference letter in CIC format from my past place of employment was not difficult at all. However, getting reference letter from my current place of employment where I had spent almost 2 years was now challenging.
Now, considering that I had not really stayed long in this place, I was skeptical about letting them know about my immigration plans, so I sent a mail to our HR to prepare the letter in CIC format. But they refused and insisted I obtained the necessary approval from my unit head, which would mean me letting the cat out of the bag so soon. My unit head was out of the country, so I had to wait till my unit head arrived before obtaining the approval. We had a deep concerted discussion where I explained that I had considered immigrating because of my long term plans. Approval was eventually granted and the required reference letter n CIC format was provided. However, this made me delay my submission to October 4.
I merged my 2 reference letters only and attached to the relevant placeholders. I did not attach pay slips because the reference letters alone were completely aligned to CIC format.

AOR & Post AOR
I eventually submitted my application on October 4 at 11:55 pm. I paid for the application fee but not the RPRF as I did not have the funds as at then. 28 days after, I got the Medicals Passed (MEP) notification and biometrics request. I went immediately the next day to do my biometrics.
The wait then started.
On December 3, I then decided to pay my RPRF unsolicited. No RPRF mail was sent to me, I just went to CIC website, paid and attached the downloaded receipt to a CSE (alongside my now rolled over FD certificate) and sent to them.
I was determined to wait it out, all the way, at least till 4 months before knowing my visa office, but the pressure around me wouldn’t let me be. So, I sent a follow-up CSE reminder to confirm if the RPRF receipts and FD roll over certificates had been transmitted to my visa office. I also included my request to know my Visa office in the same mail. The response came a day after, where I was informed that it was Ottawa. I was so excited.
The wait continued….
On 6th January I ordered my GCMS notes as I had not seen a single ghost update (Casper) unlike others. It arrived on 1st week of February, and I realized when I read through it, that only criminality was passed. Eligibility and Security had not started. I was so downcast by this recent development, but friends around cheered me up.
I kept the hopes alive but kept getting even more emotionally drained as the days faded by and as my CIC time bar crawled closer to the deadline day. What even added to this mental stress was seeing new applications in November and December getting PPRs before me. Wow! Lots of thoughts started to flood through my head. Did I do something wrong?? Did I offend anybody?? What was the problem actually??
Every time I opened my CIC account, there was no single update in my account whatsoever. Casper (the ghost) was indeed not friendly to me. I became a ghost hunter and praying every day for ghosts in my account. All to no avail. I was distraught and discouraged from even opening my account as I just felt it would be the same thing, however, I would say a silent prayer, for God to bring my turn closer.
Days went by, and it became less than 30 days to go. I felt it was due time for me to order my second GCMS notes. I mentioned it in the WhatsApp group I was on, and people encouraged me to go ahead. Some people also encouraged me to follow it through with a call, which I sluggishly accepted. I ordered the notes on 6th March… then attempted calling CIC on 7th March, but it did not go through. I temporarily gave up. On 8th March, I just felt the motivation to call again, with very little expectation. My waiting time was about 5 mins. When the voice at the other end rang, it made me shudder slightly. Well I downloaded all my details to her in response to her questions and followed it through with a question about the status of my profile.
Lo and behold!, She told me that my file was just approved on the 7th (the day before). I thought I didn’t hear her clearly… Lol. I had to ask her if she was sure about what she said and she reiterated her statement, with more audacity. My hand immediately started shaking, then I thanked her and went off the line. I still took the information I got from the call with a pinch of salt, because I was yet to see any ghost update like other people would usually get before PPR.
Well, I just decided to check my profile after the call… Lo and behold! My first ghost update since I submitted my application. I was so excited.
And today, PPR!
Glory be to God!!!!

In a nutshell, my timelines are below:
7 July, 2018 - IELTS – LSRW (8.5, 8.5, 7,7)
19 June, 2018 – ECA report arrived (2 or more degrees)
5 September, 2018 – ITA
4 October 2018 – AOR
8 March 2019 – Ghost Update (Casper, the friendly ghost)
12 March 2019 – PPR

Single Applicant


… and it has finally ended in praise!!! It will end in praise for you too in Jesus Name!

My little advice: Remain patient, and positive. Ensure to have positive minded people around you, as they will be the ones to encourage you when it’s looking like you are losing faith in the whole process.
Above all, acknowledge God as the divine helper… “Nothing good comes except it’s from above”

God bless you and thank you for reading my long post!

I have always believed that someday I would relocate fully out of Nigeria… whether it was for studies or something.. I just knew that my place was not this Naija. This was some years back.
Congratulations prof

Quite a journey filled with ups and downs, but not enough to be added to our monthly scholarly journal.

I will score you 4.83/10 for your obvious effort and will encourage you to wait a while and improve additionally before attempting our test again.

.

Perhaps it is the same thing with what my application is showing since AOR date (only submitted last week though). I had been trying to ask about it but I had been holding back.

It says that my eligibility and background check is being processed. Just wanted to know if it is a normal thing especially since I have not even reached the medical passed stage yet (I know that one takes a month)

Here is my “brief story”… read at your own risk:


I have always believed that someday I would relocate fully out of Nigeria… whether it was for studies or something.. I just knew that my place was not this Naija. This was some years back.
Well, in 2011… when I was writing my ICAN, I had made friends with a couple of colleagues (also writing) the exam with me. One of them gave me some hints that he really wanted to leave Naija soon.. but never told me how. I also never bothered to ask.
I lost his contact, but got it back in 2014, only for me to see the kind of “abroad” pictures he was posting. I was like, “hope you are enjoying your vacation ooo” and he was like… “ Nooo.. this is not a vacation! I live here”
O boy!! That was how my ear/antennae just stood up ooo… I started interrogating him like an FBI agent… I asked him about the immigration process and how he went about it. He simply just sent me a link to read up on…. And that was the end. I was demotivated even before reading it properly. That was how I gave up on the idea.
In 2016, I stumbled on Australian immigration information and followed it gracefully. I gathered all the necessary information I needed and saved on my system. Good thing is that, I have never been that person to embark on a journey without thoroughly researching and asking myself very tough questions. I was so ready to embark on it… but did not have the funds. Well, the issue was not even the funds per se, but the fact that when I informed my parents about it, they totally kicked against it. Their argument was that, Aussie was too far and it would make me forget Naija. My relatives also added to this perspective, with examples of my distant cousins that had gone to Aussie many years ago but had not returned. I was completely discouraged and let this phase slide again.
After the above incidences, I had now decided to face my “Nigerian fate”… and so focused solely on my work and all.
In December 2017, while going home with one of the staff of my clients, she kept asking me about my
