Congratulations!

You must be interesting in person. You almost withdrew your application because of CIC delay? You vex reach like dat

Now you have gotten PPR, yet you still want to order GCMS notes out of curiosity? That $20 can buy pizza and ice cream on landing o

Reminds me of one in the Indian group who got COPR but was worried his status is not showing approved in his CIC account. Like seriously?

PPR 15 July, 2019

For someone who benefited immensely from reading other people's detailed PPR stories, I'd be back with the detailed gist.

daks02:
PPR ALERT!!!

Rasengan02:
Please who did ECA with CES.. Want to confirm this delivery ish before I make payments et AL.
Would CES forward the ECA wen ready to IRCC?

Rasengan02:
Hello house.... To those who used the CES ECA, I have this little ish... There is the point where I am to tick delivery ot pickup, which do I tick? What are the implications?
Also, do I really need to send to a 3rd party to pick for me or what?
Thanks

AdaU:
Anybody please. Or should I just use the 7 years experience? Age 35 with a Masters so my point is just 61. I need to boost this point.

sodiksan:
Good Evening Everybody, I have some few questions and advice from the gurus in the house before I apply.

I'm below 30 years, with MSc and Married.
I finished NYSC in 2015 and I started job immediately at one Government agency as a contract staff (End User Support Officer), salary was paid in cash before they open a salary account for all contract staff there (no letter of employment issued). In December 2016 I left the contract job to Lagos State Government as a Secondary School Teacher (Civil Servant).

Why wife on the other hand has a OND in Business administration, after which she attended a Fashion School at Allen Avenue Ikeja (a year program), she works on her own with her fashion brand though using her sisters Registered company name (her sister is no longer operating with the company name because she relocated to UK with her hubby few years back) and we have a kid who is less than one year.

I plan writing IELTS by December believing by then everything about my MSc would have been sorted.

To boost our chances of having an higher CRS point, I want my wife to write IELTS (what score will she have to score to boost our chances?) and WES certificate evaluation. and as regards proof of fund my family have a family account from where the money will be transferred to my account (what will I do make convince CIC in relation to the fund)

Please I need your advice on how to scale through to the ITA stage and subsequently getting a PPR

Iyalla2:
Hello good people in the house, I came across this question in trend 6..... It says, does WES evaluate CIPM and other professional Certs without WAEC? but no one responded to that question. May be it was ignored for some reasons but I think that what the person ment was after evaluating other cert with; say ICES and others, can he/ she evaluate professional Cert with WES without going through the rigorous WAEC wahala. just to make up 2 or more cert.
Pls does this require WAEC for all Nigerian Cert both professional and degree.?

Any quick response will help me and others out there.
To avoid story that touch the pocket.
Thanks.

Mariesio:
Someone pls help me with WES phone no

CheesyTee:
You can only claim experience from 2009 till date (that’s experience in the last 10 years). Except if the 2008/2009 ended around December, which will count as 1 full year, then you can add.

ibrotee0:

PPR 27th June, 2019.

COPR /Approved 11th July, 2019.

Pick up 18th July, 2019.


Date typed: 27th Feb. 2019

So, I’m on my way back from work, had a busy day so could not go through nairaland all through the day only for me to see about 8 pages to read. Then I saw Tojued PPR story. This motivated me to write mine down as she said all the excitement leaves you once the wait takes its toll on you. This was may present state being waiting 5 months 10days. I actually prayed for a short PPR like MEPconsult but God knows better.

IELTS
Took the first test in 2017 LRSW7,6.5,7,8 then I was thinking I’d do Australia PR but then I needed to have 8 in all band to even get invite as I was going to claim points for only 1-year experience post msc which I did not have at that time. This was going to be really challenging. I close ielts matter since I was not ready and I was waiting for my one-year experience to reach.
Then in 2018 my sister said why don’t I try Canada, she had mentioned it in 2017 before but I wasn’t interested especially because of proof of fund. Australia did not require proof of fund and I didn’t want to bother my dad plus he had plenty financial responsibilities. So, when she brought it up again, I said let me try so I went through the assessment link found I needed I needed 8777 ok…I thought I can do this, its not as demanding as Australia. Na so I start preparing…..wrote it sometime in June 2018 result out July had LRSW 6.5,6,7.5,6.5 I was depressed. Cried and decided to get my life together nobody will write for me except me.
That’s when I discovered MOD decided to use them had about 4 weeks to prepare used Cambridge ielts, Lizielts and practised a lot for listening and reading, wrote a few essays for writing. Wrote the exam in August, begged God to show me mercy and He did LRSW 8,7.5,8,7. Picked the report same day and dived in the pool about a week later ITA 5th Sept. 2018. By the way I booked IOM the week before the result came out in faith, so I was able to do medicals immediately after Ielts result was out.

Degrees

Used WES pretty easy this was before WAEC wahala. Accessed both MSC and BSC took 8 weeks in all. Verification was easy because my school did it without me calling them.

POF

100% gift deed. Still went back to my dad. He supported me and was happy that I was being proactive with my life. He had been worried about my future so he was in when I told him. Notarised it with his lawyer (he did all that).

Medicals

IOM booked about a week ahead used almost the whole day.

PPC

Inspector Fatai agreed 6k I was not in Lagos so he had to post, paid extra 2k for that. UK PCC was straight forward everything online.

ADR

Never knew I had received refusal letter from Canada embassy. My family and I applied for visitors visa few months before I went for post graduate studies. I had to withdraw my application in order to apply for my student visa as I was already running late for school. When the outcome arrived, I had already left Nigeria and they never told me I was also issued a rejection letter along with them because they thought that my application had been cancelled since I withdrew mine. I always used to laugh at my siblings that I don’t have to deal with that rejection question when applying for any visa. Didn’t know mine was sitting pretty at home.
So, when filling my application, I did not indicate that I had applied for visa before and also did not indicate my UCI number thinking my application was cancelled on their end. Only for the ADR to come and then I asked my mum if I had any letter from IRCC, she checked and viola my letter was included in the rejection package. This was over 4 years ago. So, I was already in their database. I checked the UCI from 4 years ago it was the same as my present UCI.
I wrote letter of explanation on what happened attached my UK visa which was issued before they sent home the rejection letter and it was accepted. So please always tell the truth. They can spot lies.

Work Experience

I always knew I wanted more out of my life and really wanted to live outside Nigeria so I thought MSC is the way to get that. Applied to Uk school and got admitted, never knew that post study was hard to get and UK will kick you out once you done schooling. When I came back the strategy was to get out anywhere but Nigeria. That’s when my Australian waka started before it turned to Canada waka. Did not have experience in my MSC degree and I needed to claim point for work. I had to get a job, popsi did not understand why I decided to move, I couldn’t get the job where we lived so I moved plus I needed the money to fund the process IELTS, medical etc.
Got a job moved and barely settled in when I realised it was a highly toxic and political environment filled with insecure people. Oh, I could relate with Osaze’s story while he was in UAE. I was mostly depressed this partly affected my June Ielts result. Anyway, the job took its toll on me plus moving I had to live with people I never thought I’d ever live with. Wasn’t the best of situations. Well, I’m grateful cos they all helped me on this journey unknowingly. However, got the reference letter in CIC format signed by a superior.
So, in total it took me 1 year six months to start the process. Endured a lot of emotional stress but what kept me going was the end would be worth it. Sometime you have to give everything for a dream no one will understand. I grew through it, found myself more and just kept on waiting. Now the PPR wait of 6 months end in 19 days I pray earnestly that I won’t be delayed beyond 6 months. (27th Feb. 2019).

Updated 18th July 2019

IRCC sure do know how to keep you waiting. (June 2019) Waited 9 months and 10 days.
Woke up around 1 am 22nd June to see gmail notification icon. Yup I knew it was IRCC. Logged in to see remedicals letter. Ran to IOM on Monday, booked for Tuesday did the test. They called that they had uploaded it on Wednesday and the result was fine. Called IRCC on Thursday, the agent said everything was passed and before she could continue network ended the call. Tried to call again didn’t go through. I kuku just left the whole thing.

Around 10:05pm saw gmail notification and viola it was PPR. My family members did party on our family watsapp group, enough dancing. I was just grateful the wait was over. Went to submit the next day. Picked up passport 18th July, 2019……………exactly 10 months post AOR.

My thanks go to Newmum who helped with my employment reference letter and template for proof of funds and also Linda…can’t recall your nairaland name, you helped me with my ADR. God bless you both. And to everyone posting useful information here thank you. To all waiting I pray for strength for you because it is not easy. Delay is not denial. To my sept AOR’s and all still waiting I pray for speed, I know someone with my AOR still waiting. The wait is not funny.

While waiting apply to ACCES for online program if your profession is on their list. I pray God also answers everyone waiting on something with speed. See you all in Canada.

Can I use my SIWES job experience of 1 year? I was paid in cash although the company gives me receipts of payments.
NB: I was in year 3 in school then even though it still falls within the ten year range?

omamofe:
Thanks alot, , Do you know how I can email Ottawa Visa office? I already also calculated at the current rate and even rate as at the time of submittion, the numbers do not match at all. The money in the account is way more.

Nenyezz:
I was paid in cash by my employer during my nysc. I thought there is supposed to be a payment slip to really prove that I worked in the office during nysc. Will the 19,800 naira be the proper salary to use. I'm confused here. Please I need response. Thank you

yemblaze:
Wawuuu...Congrats. what determination and perseverance. Delay is not denial indeed. Am happy for you.

Go and prosper in your new home.

ladymarshall:
Aww! You make me blush. Thanks for your kind words

Pls @pheebe hold 'our' hands.. You're not alone..
Congrats to all the PPR clinchers. Your success stories keep me motivated. May the new land favour you all and your expectations never be cut short...
As I'm so elated, permit me to use this medium to announce the PPR, days ago, of a dear friend and colleague @debzyworld. VO has been Ottawa. AOR was Oct 1st 2018. The wait was indeed... er.. a wait indeed! I should leave the rest of the TL for her when she's ready...
I celebrate you all once again. I'm humbled already, even before the start of this whole thing.

pheebe:

I am not aware that CES Uni of Toronto send ECA to IRCC. Never noticed a pick up option either. You need to input an address where the report will be mailed to you.

Vousmevoyez:
If a couple gets PPR, can they mail their passports separately because they are not together in the same country at the time? Also, can they enter Canada at different times as long as it's in the period of entry? e.g husband go to Canada in June and wife in August
