I was actually arguing this with someone.

The lies we tell always come back to haunt us.
That agent is wicked.
Just pray your application scale through.

Ifeoma77:

Trust me when I say you are not going to be telling them anything new, they knew that you were lying about the job way back then and that is probably why you didn't get your study Visa.
There must be something in the water they serve at these 'agencies', that blocks logical thinking. How else did you plan to explain that you were a lecturer when your highest qualification was ND. Even if the school is family owned.
Anyway, way forward;
1. fill all EE/e-Apr forms correctly.
2. Explain the truth in LOE and mention that you were misguided by a fraudulent agent.
3. Pray

Additional steps;
4. Find that agent and give him some slaps
5. Give yourself some too

Number 5 though

Funky123:
No......You can find information about then on page one,we are sticking to Ices

Ok, do you know how long it typically takes ICES to finish an evaluation? Maybe comparing that to how long it takes Wes might help.

Please, with respect to choice of NOC, let me just share my duties so you guys can share more insights. Though I've settled for NOC 1123

Title: Marketing Communications Manager

Second Job title is Social Media Manager, same NOC 1123

Am I on the right path please?

Hi,

I want some clarification. as a Senior Accountant working with federal government of Nigeria. A Certified National Accountant with Bsc Accountancy, Msc Finance and Accounting. from the NOC the suitable qualification is 1111 Financial auditors and accountants. specifically Accountant or Public Accountant. I hope if only Msc Finance and Accounting is evaluated there will be no problem when applying for PR.

Ifeoma77:

Yes

thanks but i want some clarification. as a Senior Accountant working with federal government of Nigeria.

To the best of my knowledge, its no problem.

Hi folks, Please has anyone residing in the UK applied for his/her Nigerian PCC via courier? How did you go about it and what was the cost and duration before receiving the certificate? Thanks.

Okay...Thanks for this

You can include their middle names. Personally, I did surname . first name . middle name (i.e. as shown on their int'l passports).

What about your parents? Could you get this information from them instead?

pweetygeek:




To the best of my knowledge, its no problem.

Thanks but did you apply using NOC 1111 Financial auditors and accountants. specifically Accountant.

Can the PA use gift deed from spouse (in personal account) and treasury bills certificate (in accompanying spouse name)?

Will try that, thanks

That's pretty much my timeline, not a man of many words, so I'm sorry prof. I had a smooth ride up until the long wait from IP2 to PPR. Called IRCC several times, mailed Ottawa twice never got a response, raised CSE once and got a generic response.

Thanks to everyone here, this thread was my home after work from when I found it post ITA till now. Also big thanks to those that always help others here, please keep up the good work. I wish everyone waiting at one stage or the other good luck and speedy processing .

It has ended in praise. To God be the Glory.

No you are not. Your actual NOC is 0124. Your title and JD are managerial positions.

NOC 1123 are for non-managerial positions in Corporate Comms (look below the NOC on the site, managerial positions are clearly excluded from the NOC).

What stage are you in your app? If its AOR, please raise a CSE asap and attach an LOE stating your mistake. If you are post-ITA but not AOR, I think an LOE would suffice. If you are pre-EE profile, perfect, good that you asked.

MEP/BIL: September 18, 2018.

We checked profile tire. If there was a limit to the number of times one could log in to their profiles, dem for don lock us out of the Cic website.

Village people just Dey sip palmy, and watch DStv from the white cloth on Pete Edochie’s wall.



Finally, this bright sunny ☀️ morning, we woke up to see PPR sitting pretty in our mail. Looking like a beauty queen.

And the fireworks went off.......

Congrats!!!

I almost gave up during the requirements phase and even while waiting, but reading stories here and following instructions went a long way. God bless everyone here.

Strongly rooting for you. You are in my prayers. Please do not give up.

Dieumerci:
Congratulations to everyone who has crossed any of the hurdles in this journey.

Please I need some motivation so I don't place a 'full stop' where the Almighty has put a 'comma'.

After 3 IELTS and failing to max-out, I find it difficult to study for another one - lack of concentration, no zeal...

Mehn...I'm tired but must not give up as my children are not meant for this naija.

This broke my heart. I am so sorry that you had this experience. Please be strong, sometimes things may not end as planned despite our best efforts. Do not give up

Please send another email to those suggested by Topsmamen with an SOS subject (and your application number). Include all the NOCS that others have suggested, tell them your confusion and dilemma, your case decision (and why). Tell them you do not want to repeat the same mistakes all over and need to be very careful and sure for your second application. Clearly ask them to choose which of those NOCS suite your profile. With this refusal and expended resources and energy, I would advise you do not choose any NOC until they respond satisfactorily to you. Keep emailing/tweeting at them every two or three days, frustrate them into a specific response, if need be, until you get a green light.

It will end in praise for you.

xtosync:
Hi there,
So the anti climax of this long almost two years ordeal is ending with a refusal due to incorrect NOC code. I applied with NOC code 0213 - Computer and Information System Manager.


This is not the testimony I was hoping to drop after a year and 6 months wait, but a lesson for one is a lesson for many. Never too late to do the right thing.

special thanks to Zutlin, Abubuyaya. You guys give me the courage to do this.

Amazing read!!! Congratulations, may you success in your new country

ITS PPR/COPR guys!!! (Written 17th October 2018, 14th November, I put a PPR date range by Faith  but God had other plans, PPR came in Feb 26th 2019)


As I wrap up, I’d like to drop a few pointers on how I think I coped initially: I became an analyst! Moving from one site to another analysing trends, from immitracker to Canadavisa, to quora, Nairaland, facebook, Instagram, youtube…people of God what did I not analyse?! I did trend analysis from AOR to Meds passed, applicants’ progression to IP2 based on visa office, average number of days from IP2 to PPR based on visa office on Immitracker and Nigerians. Doing these put the edge off and made me relatively calm. You too can try it…you may come up with mere speculation or you might notice a pattern. Either ways, you’d feel like you’re doing something . I must confess however that as the days to PPR stretched, my staying power waned- especially since IP2 to PPR took close to 4 months. I wasn’t keen on analysing or even hoping. I realized that I depended more on past trends than I did on God and I needed to shift my focus. I decided to spend more time waiting on God than relying on my own understanding. Bottomline is, not everyone will have a short timeline. If for some reason yours takes longer, know that there is something God seeks to teach you. Know that God isn’t causing you to wait out of spite, He is instead teaching you to trust His delays and not doubt His ways. Waiting doesn’t mean you heard God incorrectly about this Canada PR waka. Waiting doesn’t mean your desire isn’t the will of God. Waiting doesn’t mean you aren’t praying enough (many times we know in our hearts that God will do a thing, the problem is usually trying to convince our head to be in tune). Waiting also doesn’t mean you do not have enough faith.

E-fam, I hope you find the courage to give IELTS one more shot, I hope someone out there finds courage to push harder to get that ECA done with and I hope someone there finds the courage in my epistle to do all it takes to make this Canadian dream a reality because this my people is now my REALITY.

Finally, Thanks to @Tojued @19cannymum and @Ramj for being there when I needed to rant and for the constant check-ins. To everyone- thank you for keeping this thread alive. I wish everyone the very best. God bless!

Please overlook any grammatical errors…na beg I dey beg…IELTS is over…for now
