I can so relate to this! I have written my PPR script already, just waiting to CTRL-C & CTRL-V on this thread cheesy
Thought I would have landed and settling in by now, God knows how to humble person sha. My AOR is Jan 28th, last update was that everything is passed, waiting for final review and approval. What was your last update? Have you used your Ralph lifeline yet?

When was this please?
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 8 by Nobody: 2:27pm On Aug 09, 2019
[quote author=Rence22 post=81096227][/quote]why do you guys think PNP is sure and easy your occupation is not in demand and you may not have relatives in manitoba. so how do you get the pnp the ones calling people i.e alberta(mostly admin), nova scotia( early child hood educators, accountants), ontario (tech IT and some finance roles).

It is nice to want to help but ensure you get the fact right. wink

There is no condition that experience must be in a profession. The only known condition is that you should have atleast one year experience in your PRIMARY NOC.

You can also combine different NOCs as long as you have atleast one year experience in one of the professions/primary NOC.

Hello,

I'll like to know if WES, ICAS and IQAS can evaluate my MSc result with my testimonial?

Testimonial has this clause "valid for 3 years". My certificate won't be ready anytime soon.

Does different NOC in this sense has to fall in O,A and B. ?

Please how much were you charged for both OND and HND by ICES?.
Thank you.
thirdpage:


cc: Scandinavian02

I can confirm that ICES evaluates OND as Two-year diploma and HND as Four-year Advanced diploma. Just received mine, but its a whole LONG wait, approximately 19 weeks after all documents were received by ICES. Although the evaluation was completed in 17 weeks; it took two weeks to get to me.

MY LANDING GIST
This is actually part 3... Part one and two is in the "landed" thread
IT'S A LONG READ... BRACE YOURSELF.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IGNORE THE TYPOS

AOR: JANUARY 10th 2019
PPR: JUNE 17TH
LANDING: AUGUST 5TH 2019
FLIGHT : - LUFTHANSA
ROUTE : - LAGOS - FRANKFURT - CALGARY
LAYOVER : 7 HOURS



Words I use
Beg beg aka BB
HUSBAND aka bae / hubz / boo/ boyfriend ( anyone as d spirit leads... The man can be husband this minute next thing he's doing like bf �‍♀️)
Daughter - DD
Dad - first love / FL
SON- DS
LUFTHANSA - luffy

I prayed for this day... John 5:14-15
U see after PPR I fasted and prayed for today. I was so specific I told God I wanted my kids to behave throughout the journey, to eat their meals, to be stress less and I don't want to bribe anyone... Of course amongst other request


Okay so the day is here.....
So we planned to leave d house 4 o'clock...
We were just all gisted and teasing each other around the house.. No one was even bothered about d time.

We sha dressed amidst the plenty gisting.
My FL asked us to kneel
And he prayed for us...
Left the house around 5:30... Got to the airport pretty fast. Went with my siblings, cousins and parents.
3 sisters
Dad
Mum
2 cousins
Plus 4 of us
Total = 11



ENTRANCE
Our bags were plenty so the guys didn't figure out who is travelling or not. I heard him say settle him 3k or so for the crowd of peeps entering Mehn I quickly unheard... Some things u just refuse to hear or understand.


All my siblings and parent entered inside
Gave them the handluggages
They pushed stroller

Bags passed scanner no ish.. ����
Palm oil 10 litres ✅
So this palm I planned to take 20 litres... But d boo said... No let's do 10 now.... ( too excited to argue or insist... At this point I saw myself in Calgary drinking Starbucks coffee ��)



For lufthansa u weigh ur bags and ur weight is written on d bag with a tape ( see attached)

It's after ur bag pass the weight u now move to check in
Oya time to weigh
Our bags were accurately weighed at home.. All weighed 22kg... Or 22.5kg.
Noticed their scale is 1 kg higher...
Therefore our we had 4 bags higher.
Hand luggages are weighed on lufthansa and tagged approved.

I always put an empty back pack in my bag for just incase..
I packed the bags meticulously so I new what to remove and where to find d item... It's best to always know the heaviest items and put them at d handle part... I mean the top part of the bag.. Then stuffs u can willing send back home shld come next...
So if u open ur box u cab easily reach what to pick out

So I removed the one items from each part...
Guess what as we put it on d scale... It dropped drastically... Looks like d scale was corrected... So what we removed we put back and all bags flew. ����


We had checked in earlier so we printed our boarding passes... Bags and car seats tagged...
For luffy car seats check in is free.. (I don't have an infant both car seats were checked in.)
They asked us if we wld like to check in our handluggage free... We said no

Selfies and video time ���
My gush we took so many pictures... Made noise.. Hugged, shared jokes, jumped, played...
No tears o... ... We promised no crying... Besides I know they are visiting soon..

Went back in...
So first immigration peeps who'll stamp ur passports... Then straight to scan area... One BB was asking ��� smiled... And unheard him immediately.
We sha entered
Then straight to KFC... We ate...
My daughter peed on her self.. Had to enter the restroom to wash her clothe change her and head back... Thank God I packed extra clothes... Now at d gate they asked if we wanna check in our handluggage again ... We said no

We were d first to enter in our category �����������
Stroller was collected at foot of the aircraft ( pidgin - doormot)



My daughter quickly entered and sat on a business class seat ( baba God u see this... I know it's a sign u r about to uplift us). She sat so comfortably... D seat fits her Abeg.. I almost Sat down with her sef... �����������

We went to our seats and settled in.
Food was deliciously delicious
My picky eater ate o.���� I and bf looked at each other and smiled
(We booked child meal online best decision ever) kids loved it.. It looked fun too curiosity made DS eat his food. DD is a foodie but won't eat anything she doesn't understand... But this food she finished it...

Had white wine... I was tipsy at some point....their alcohol is strong... Jisox....tot is just normal 5 %..... �‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️

Oh oh oh.. Luffy had a changing room for kids... �������������
Enough space for couples that needs to release the tension... �������
Abeg life na one... Just do it quietly... Clean up... Come out raise ur shoulder high up with pride... Anyone looking at u is wishing they cld too. Besides see it as hotel fees included in ur ticket. ������������

They sha wanna make me fat in this flight... AlWays offering....me always collecting ������
Na my money Abeg.
We were full... No space again.

We r at Frankfurt Yay � � � � both kids sleeping
Hello Frankfurt... R u Ready for me �����
Layover 7 hrs...
Our stroller was given to us.... Just as u come out of the aircraft..... So we strapped the kids ... It had a tag on it... See attached... If my stroller was given to me... My big stroller then anyone's stroller will.

So Frankfurt how far na.. Anything for the Babe
Bf asked for our gate since it was written on our boarding passes... He heard 53.... Na here drama start after walking and location 54 we didn't see 53...hr now went to ask again... And he was told 53 doesn't exist..
Kikikikikikikikiki I just started laughing
We had to ask again now he heard correctly... 43
Found our gate... Freshened up a little... Entered the perfume shop sprayed my self �������

Found d playground for kids...
Kids played en... Till they were exhausted..
Energy burned sleep time... They both slept.
Again thank God for our stroller...we ate some biscuits we went along with.... Washed it down with drinks we purchased a Frankfurt...

Time to boarded. .


AIR CANADA
Boarding prority as per kids on a stroller.. We entered our seats were as I selected after paying for my flight.

Trust my DD
Madam went straight to business class.. ( Thank you Jesus now this is a confirmation...)

Food was also delicious. Entertainment was on point... They had some Disney junior cartoons
Kids ate too
We kept our lunch because we were full... Didn't give d kids the lunch...
One hour to land...
Went to "kitchen" to fill d kids water bottles
Got some coffee in my travel mug
Made golden morn to gauge them...


Touch down CALGARY...
Is my God not too much?
Gave us our stroller again... Thank God.

As we landed... Hmmmm have u ever stopped and thought and be like jeez... I prayed for this... My gush It's an answer.. It's happening
That was how I felt.

Noticed my husband face... He looked gloomy... Like the xtremely tired face ( u see my darling refused to sleep.. He was watching movies)
I whispered into his ear.. " my love we prayed for this... I know u r tired focus on what reality is about to set in " I noticed he smiled... A side smile.. Sexy smile... U know that smile a guy gives from d corner of his mouth... With his eyes sort of smiling too... Immediately u forget where u r and ur name sef... Ehen that's it ( Oya focus.... For where focus how.. When this guy is making every hair strand on my body stand�����)

He moved towards me and we prayed together quietly while we moved....

IMMIGRATION
We did d self check in self.. Took out print out..
Got to immigration... We were only two.. Guess Monday is a good day to land

We were ready... Scratch that my bae was ready ( he had to be... He had only one job in this process get our pof complete ready).
(hubz is fear fear ��� before dey'll send him back with his family. this man saved en... At one point he said we shld stop lesson for d kids because of saving money �‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️even removed his card from Netflix account ����)
Held cash and also Bank statements were printed ( incase login in became an issue... Like I said he wasn't ready for stories���

Pof ✅
Goods to follow ✅
Goods accompanying list (beautifully written& held). ✅
Copr and passports ✅
New passport to swap ✅
Extra pen (incase their own didn't work) ✅

Okay we r ready

Gave her our Coprs and passports.. Asked us the normal statutory questions.
Told her I wanted to change my passport photograph... She agreed.
Copr stamped and signed.
She asked for goods to follow list.. Stamped it.
Told us welcome to Canada
That's it. Wasn't up to 10 minutes

Was still waiting for pof to be asked for... (I was too prepared)

Went to get our bags and car seats
Then Went to exit gave them d print out ( from d self check in)...
Den entered those golf course car ( they were d best to carry our load) ...they drove us to d elevator for our car rental ( we rented a car from Avis
I used my naija license to rent. It was about 200 for 4 days)
Got a taxi in addition as per our load, hubby and DD drove behind the taxi while I and DS were in d taxi.
He asked for car seat o. So we hooked it up... And vooom vooom vooom we move.

While at d airport airbnb peep asked me to let her know when I was leaving d airport. (We were chatting on iMessage)
Told her didn't have a line.. So wldnt be able to reach her.
She was waiting for us at d entrance
Did all d formalities.. Signed and she left.
Booked airbnb for a month..
No pressure to look for house... We r taking our time to do all that
Thank God for elevators in our condo... Just imagine how our luggage will get up if it were stairs.

So hubby drove out to get groceries and basic needs..
That's how I received a call... "My love what do we need for Canadian stew... I asked Who's phone is this, it's my new friend...chidinma... Haaa day one, u have a friend (who is called chidinma) already in this cold Calgary.... �‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️ immediately my tone changed... Abeg buy anything and come home ����"
As he entered d house he started with" wait fes na... She's married with children and was just helping... Lol... Abeg this Canada is cold... There'll be a lot of friendly hugs ����� we busted out laughing...


Tried to beat jet lag... Didn't sleep till 10 pm calgary time...




To my January aor group
When people you don't even know pray for u... I don't think there's any other form of deeper, selfless and purer love. U guys held the gates of heaven opened for me... One word to describe majority(I say majority because I'm petty �����.) of you "family"
Thank you...

Phew... I'm in Calgary Alberta Canada... A whole Me.. How do I even begin to say thank you Jesus ������. Look at God....

“But God has indeed heard me; he has listened to my prayer. I praise God, because he did not reject my prayer or keep back his constant love from me.”
