Gather around my people.... It's COPR!!!!!!!

I know, I know, I should have announced PPR but when I got the golden mail, I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be because of the 'long wait'. But I am thankful and grateful that it is ending in praise!!!

Novel alert, please skip and then skip some more to the timeline:

My Canadian journey started way back in 2011 when Canada application was still via the paper route. I wanted to relocate but my then fiancée wasn't interested and my father wasn't going to finance my Canadian dream if my fiancée wasn't on board with the relocation plan. I was heartbroken but I guess my dad wanted me to get married less I become an old maid **insert eye roll here** So while Canadian dream kaput, The then fiancee wanted us to both register for a Masters degree. We both did, wrote the exams, I passed, he failed. I started the Masters programme, started planning the wedding and I opted out of the whole thing two months before the wedding.... This will be a sequel.. Moving on...

While running the Masters, I got married, loving my career, got pregnant and I saw the inadequacy of the Nigerian health care system. My 7 weeks old baby was almost aborted at L****n hospital because I was spotting and the doctor concluded it was a miscarriage without a scan. Using Just a speculum, he said he saw the baby hence evacuation straight! We had paid for the evacuation, waiting for an available operating room when my husband randomly asked if they did a scan. I said No, he asked why, we were told the hospital doesn't do scans on that particular day, my husband was livid. He insisted we had to do a scan before the surgery and the hospital gave us a scan centre like 35 minutes drive away. Hubby didn't mind, I was bundled into the car with drips and all to go do a scan and lo and behold, It was the baby's heart beat.. It was just a threatened abortion.. We went back to the hospital and give them the results and strangely enough none of the doctors were available, even the medical director that told me to accept God's plan that my baby was dead! So give us our money back, na lie o, we had to wait for weeks to get a refund! My people shine your eyes o!

So I though L*****n was rubbish, moved to R********n, I loved the service until delivery when everything started turningoninown and it led to emergency CS. I had to wait for like an hour to get epidural while they look for a particular size of needle to give me epidural meanwhile after 24 hours of Labor, baby's heart beat was already failing.. My people, my eyes have seen!!!! Lol!

After all these, I told hubby we needed to leave, that was 2012 but he believed in the dream that was Nigeria. Our friends, colleagues and neighbors were leaving but still, he believed. 4 years later to second baby, I told him I am not going through all the Nigerian hospital drama again, he agreed and we decided to go have the baby in the US. I started my research and stumbled on Nairaland. The givingbirthintheusa thread. By the way, I was TLKMama on that thread. Before then US wasn't even a country I was interested in as I was a 'UK Person'. US was too far and I hate flying. Siblings and friends were all in the UK but I wanted citizenship if we were going to spend all that money, Nairaland came through... I got back and decided I have had it with Naija. But then promotions came for hubby and I, things got better and we fell for it so the idea to relocate was shelved again.

January 2018, I just got tired of Nigeria, everything was still going on well but I saw the handwriting on the wall. Before things would get better, it's likely to get much worse and I don't want to be around to witness that. I discussed with hubby and we decided the kids and I go while he will be visiting and maintain his PR as his businesses are doing well here.

WES
Hubby and I started in March. His UI, mine Unilag and God used people for us. Divine favor from transcript to verification. I used statement of result with Wes and by June we were done.

IELTS
Eh, yours truly was principal applicant. First result was village people things LRSW was 8,8,8,6 in May. EOR with BC, writing was upgraded to 7 after 2-3weeks. Registered for another IELTS before the result of the first EOR was due. Second IELTS was 9, 9, 8, 6.5. with BC in June. Another EOR upgraded my writing to 7. Hubby gave me max points for IELTS and degree. For speaking, I practiced questions from Liz ielts, writing was Jay the first time, LIZ paid classes the second time. Reading, didn't practice at all. Listening, IELTS page on YouTube and minieilts.com

I didn't wait for the 2nd EOR as I wanted to enter the pool before the 2nd July 2018 draw so used the first IELTS result. Entered the pool July 23rd and got ITA July 24th.

Proof of funds
Proof of funds was in my name and my account. Used naira and USD. Banks didn't give me the letters in teh CIC format so I attached 6 months statements

Reference letters
I used one reference letters for 2 job roles that have the same NOC from previous employment as I didn't want my current colleagues to know I am relocating. Thank you for this @newmum0615

OTHERS
Medicals was straightforward, we used Q-Life. Inspector Moshood for PC.

I have to mention @newmum0615, she is the real MVP. God bless you immensely. She helped with NOC because I picked the wrong one, tweaked every and without knowing me from Adam. I don't know how she does it but May Grace and Favor speak for you and yours. May your seeds be great and might forever... You are one in a billion.

The wait was horrible, I would like to say I waited with Grace but that would be a lie. There was a lot of tantrums and God whys! I didn't experience any delay during the verification/IELTS process but I learnt patience after AOR. My profile didn't change till the 18th of March when I woke up to the PPR Mail. then I logged into my account and saw: We are processing your background.. I looked at my phone, called hubby and went back to bed. I woke up and saw that some other people got PPR mail that same day but the worry and anxiety have robbed me of excitement. But now, ayam excited!

For two major life projects that I have done in my life, Nairaland has helped immensely, I hope Seun Osewa is immensely proud of what he has achieved and the fact that this forum hasn't been sold yet is a testimony to the fact that the guy is a real MVP, God bless you lots..

To anyone and everyone on this journey, I wish you God's speed, Favor, Grace and Patience...

@ifeoma, @wassey @joo2018 all you guys making greatness common on this thread, I appreciate you all, God bless you loads

Good morning everyone. I’m very new to nairaland but I was asked to join so as to get the right information about Canada express entry application process. I’m glad to be here in the midst of great minds.

I submitted my documents in Oct 2018, my passport validity at the time was 9months, when I didn’t hear from them in April which would make it 6months, I raised a CSE. In the CSE, I uploaded my new passport showing validity till 2024. Then I got an email saying I should send the famous 5, (pay slips, POF, schedule A, additional family info and statement of account). I’m working on getting these already.

My concern now is this- I’m a medical doctor, As at the time I applied in October, I was working at a private hospital but I quit the job in February 2019 so I could have time to study for Exams. In order to make money and feed myself, I work as a realtor part time, I’m asking if I should include this in the letter of explanation that I plan to attach to these famous 5 documents. Especially because working as a doctor and being a realtor are different. I have 2years and 5months full time work experience as a doctor

I think it won't be a bad idea to do that and as you stated it is a part time hustle and you ain't claiming points for the realtor job. I only feel it do be important to state to them your intention to continue practicing as soon as you get the exam over with that way they know you are not abandoning medicine for life. I will let my seniors also weigh in if they haven't don't that already. Seniors over to you all.

WES will update your account when they receive your documents. All you need to do is to be checking your WES account to see if there is any update.

Remember to make use of your WES Reference number when you contact your school for your transcript.

I am guessing you are post-ITA. The photographer's address is needed at the PPR stage.

Good morning house, I have a few questions.

- My (church/traditional) marriage is about 3.5 years old but we haven't done court marriage. I hope it's not too late to get it done this month for the purpose of this immigration. Will it raise any suspicion? We already have two kids.

- Is it possible for the PA to do biometrics in another country e.g Denmark, while your family does theirs in Nigeria ?

PS: The PA won't be in Nigeria by then and may not be able to travel back for this purpose.

- Do you have church certificate - some have used it.

- Biometrics can be done separately
