AlhamduliLlah Finally its PPR.
Will come back with timelines
Everyone here is highly appreciated

Liz2014:
I'm sorry, looks like I forgot to add that this is a [b]paper based [/b]provincial nomination application, he was not required to attach proof of funds when he applied for PR as this was fulfilled as part of province process. We confirmed this from them as it was not included in his checklist, but he kept his funds intact anyways as per the province. And yes, you can add spouse and declare as non-accompanying (it's your choice) I respect their decision to do that. The reason he listed her as non-accompanying was because the wife was in a masters program in UI waiting to defend her project. He felt his PR was near as he had gotten a ghost update a week before his wedding, they were not sure what to expect and his medicals expires July. The plan was to come here and sponsor the wife. He rightly notified them and they kept mute about it.

Here is where they are at fault; He sent them his marital status update thrice!, first, when he got married, he sent marriage cert and additional family info to the web form and asked if anything else was required from him (he obviously can't generate a UCI himself). Secondly, when he got his PR email 4 days later, he sent with his passport; the additional family information form and marriage cert again explaining the reason why the wife his not accompanying which they didn't respond to or request anything more. We were even thinking it was due to the update that caused them to approve him to go alone or so. He received his stamped visa and COPR 3 weeks after that. He sent them an email the third time, cos he also thought it was weird that he would get a visa (after sending necessary documents with an empty un-stamped passport to show he is now married) without his wife getting a medical request or UCI. They were completely mute. The only thing he got was they confirmed receipt and has forwarded it to the visa office.

Imagine if you had to get a visa, spent 3 months preparing to start a new life in cad, resign your job, then they cancel your visa saying oh we forgot to update the fact that you have a wife on your application. Yes they have the right to cancel, but common courtesy demands that they communicate that to you, which they failed to in this case. Having him to be embarrassed at the airport(thankfully he didn't leave Nigeria yet). That is where their fault is.
According to their policy, they should send you an email to return your visa and COPR and then stamp cancelled on it, again they didn't do that. He even had a job interview in Canada the next day.

When he found out his visa was cancelled at the airport, Someone told him to email Ralph Goodale and I said the same Ralph that I drive by his office to work everyday he is the MP of my constituency sef. So I spoke to his secretary and she also agreed that they were wrong in communicating. She spoke with a CIC Agent and they said what they have on file is that he failed to communicate his change in status with them, I then asked him to forward all the correspondences he sent and the confirmation he got saying the update has been forwarded to the processing office when he used the web form. He did that on May 6th and on the 7th, his file was re-opened and he got a request that the wife should go for medicals, police clearance, PR fees to be paid and all and all the forms that has to be filled. The agent said he has asked them on when they notified the applicant on this cancellation, no response from them yet. He would increase his POF in the bank just in case, although I was expecting a request to attach an updated POF to this new submission.

I have had a terrible experience with Accra personally. Years before express entry started, I had applied for PR then it was only paper based system. When I saw that I hadn't gotten a medical request and someone that submitted after me had gotten, I emailed accra and to my surprise they said they couldn't find my application. I forwarded them the email that said the application has been forwarded to accra visa office 2 months ago, they then replied me to my greatest shock that yes they received it but it is now missing and that I should resend my application. I emailed them photocopies of what I had sent them, apparently I no longer had my original police cert and an affidavit that I forgot to make a copy of. I told them they had to make do with what they had as it was their fault that my documents was missing at their office.(I was shocked that they did't have a way of uploading documents they received electronically at that time or maybe they just forgot to do mine) A week after, I got a medical request and a month after a request to come down to Accra for PR Visa. I am a citizen today. They are human beings and there are prone to be inefficiencies here and there.

gold638:
hello house. trust your day is going well. please i have a question. what is the difference between these 2 questions in the application form? if they are same, does that mean one is to answer "yes" if there's been a visitor visa rejection in the past? please help. thank you.

"Has XXXX been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?"

AND

Has XXXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

Over 500 PPRs. I'm sure at least half that number got info here and didn't tell their story. The ministry is really moving forward

My CA quest began in December 2017 with Ielts, I knew about the EE process before then but was uninterested initially. I took up the challenge when I realised that I didn't want to ever regret not taking on the opportunity at the right time.

Finally, if you feel strongly about this journey, GO FOR IT. Sometimes we get in the way of ourselves, we come up with excuses why and how not to. I delayed so much just by discouraging myself several times. It was either I was wondering where the funds were gonna come from or being mad that I wasn’t in my career path while looking out for NOC. There’s always gonna be something so you might as well just go for it. JUST DO IT. Don’t delay. Help just popped everywhere. Wes was paid by a friend, IELTS was paid by my colleague who encouraged me at the start just to give me a head-start, POF was given to me by mum and my application fees were paid by my bro. I only paid for my PCCs, Medicals, Passports, Notarization of Gift deed.
The past 4 years have been the toughest and I’m really looking forward to a new life. I feel like this is my new lease on life and I’m seizing this opportunity to reinvent myself, go after my desired career path and dream job, making new friends and build new relationships.
Please keep pushing whatever stage you’re at. God’s got you. Every day is a step closer to your dreams…..x

Mamsvee:
Can your proof of fund be given to you after ITA, as I am planning on doing a gift deed an also can ICAN be evaluated with my BSC. as 2 or more documents.

ladymarshall:
Good. Congrats!
Thank you Sis.

6 months. That's some wait.

May your husband's ielts be successful.

ECA UPDATE.
Hello House, i finally received a soft copy of my ECA from IQAS. It took approximately 6months. From November 12 to May 8. The best part is the satisfaction of seeing the assessment as a ‘first professional University Degree In Law’. My people, WES still isn’t out oo. I would have just waited time, money and less points waiting for WES. Thank you all for the wealth of Information, if not I wouldn’t have known about IQAS.
Once my husband’s 2nd IELTS result comes out successful, we’ll be diving into the pool. It will definitely end in praise..

Asking:
Please can I have his number.thanks

1. Just get a one and same person affidavit so you can rest easy.
2. I would still get the NPC attestation if I were you.

Hello Everyone,

My CRS is 453, what happens if I jump into the pool and get an ITA but my documents are not complete yet?

Should I just wait till when they are almost ready before I jump into the pool?

Thanks
