I told him to calm down o, lemme not be sweating inside river.

Thank you all for your support. We got a lot of answers from Nairaland

If you where given a remedicals letter from IRCC just walk into IOM explain to them at the reception that you've done it before but you've been requested to do it again and it urgently. Pled with them, that you understand that you normally would book an appointment but yours is urgent and you have a short deadline and be respectful.

They should be able to schedule you for the next day. Same happened to me. I just walk there and explained to them.they told me next Monday, had to beg that the date is too far and its urgent. You can add pity face to. Did mine the next day.

Please was this in the era of booking online that this happened? Trying to see what the odds are of this working for me.

Good evening guy,
Please who has experience this, WES gave me completion date for 6th of Dec, 2019. I was shocked when I opened my account today only to discover that my status went back to our evaluator's are currently reviewing document for completeness and completion date will be given. Have sent them a mail & also contacted them via twitter. Am tired of this Wes since July.

A friend told me I can claim 2 or more certificates as long as I can get the evaluated certificate in 60 days after I get ITA. Should I claim two or more certificates even tho my cIMA is still being evaluated with WES and it’s the same evaluation number I would still use of my previous BSC evaluation? Gurus in the house what do you think
Plz can I send you a PM...

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 9 by RandyViper: 10:01am On Dec 11, 2019
Hi everyone,

I have been a silent viewer on this platform. I started following from Part 7.. to say I have been blessed by it is a complete understatement.
In summary, here's my timeline
ITA: April 16, 2019
AOR: May 23, 2019
MEP/BIL Passed: July 9, 2019
VO: Ottawa (I knew this sometime in August after raising CSE)
ADR 1: November 13, 2019 - Schedule A
ADR 2: November 21 2019 - Additional Family & Proof of Sibling relationship
PPR: December 4, 2019

So here is my immigration story in detail (Very very long gist)

This journey started in 2016.. well, the desire to relocate started in 2016. Then I did WES & IELTS; I really cannot remember the timelines, I can remember WES took like 8 weeks and then scored 7 in IELTS.. LSRW - 7,7.5,7,6.5. I had no idea what minimum scores were, I actually thought I had passed.. lool.. I tried entering the pool, the pool bounced me, then i knew there was a problem.

A colleague of mine (who is in Canada now anyway) got something slightly higher put in for another IELTS exam; at this point I was just pissed off cos I was not used to rewriting exams, so I literally just boned. Later, I tried going through the school route but family commitments kept dipping into my savings; later I boned for real this time.

I went on with my life and got married in 2017; then a family friend sold this immigration idea to me.. this time was Australia. to be honest I was sold completely. you wouldn't blame me, we were few weeks pregnant at the time and the idea of having my baby as a citizen of Australia was a dream come true. In January 2018, I started the Australian process. This by far was the most stressful experience of my life. Many people that know Australia immigration process know it is time consuming and money consuming.

After getting two negative assessments from VETASSESS (we actually had three assessments done: failed the first 2 and passed the last with a silly clause), two nomination rejection from South Australia (the silly clause in the assessments lead to the rejections by SA), my friend dumping us when we needed him most (till today, I have no idea why.. not like I needed his money but i really needed directions since he seemed to understand the system and process.. till today, niqqa didn't pick my calls nor reply my numerous messages) and almost 2million in getting these assessments, we (my wife and I) decided to dump this; although I was still emotionally attached cos of the money; to be honest, I was still willing to spend more money.. I mean I have spent a lot already.. plus you know all the motivational stories of giving up at the edge of breakthrough.. loll (no pun intended.. lol)

Anyways, brother-in-law encouraged us to start Canada.. we decided to start this again in January 2019. I registered Wifey for IELTS and plan to use her as the principal applicant cos she has her degree and masters in the UK plus her brother lives in Canada.. me I am just me with a Bsc.. it was sensible that she is the PA. She wrote the IELTS and had 8,8.5,7.5 and 6.5 in writing. It broke our hearts oo cos of the level of preparations plus this seemed like Aussie all over again. we tried to see if it was possible to manage and get a PNP but then her NOC requires she has a minimum of 7 in all.. so the next was for her to rewrite.. she bluntly refused! I mean I couldn't fault her for it.. I also didn't rewrite in 2016.. it can be really hard to rewrite an exam when you don't even know what you did wrong.

Then I decided to give IELTS a shot sometime in March.. I mean, as wifey refused to rewrite.. plus the old ILETS I wrote had expired (after two years). I prayed about it and asked for perfect scores. I went to the exam hall with that mindset and I tell you, that's what happened I had 8.5,8,8.5,7 - LRSW (the stone the builders rejected right??). I knew it was God. Immediately, I entered as the PA with my BSC and had 453. less than a week later, we got ITA.

My success in the IELTS and the speed with which we got ITA, plus the trend of folks that were getting PPR here and on the WhatsApp and telegram groups I belonged made me project that our PPR was coming on or before my daughter's birthday September 4 (Yes we had a beautiful baby girl who brought us so much joy from the sorrows of Aussy.. to be honest, we almost completely forgot all about it at her arrival).

Then began the long wait with no feedback, no response, no nothing. I didn't request fr GCMS notes.. for some reason, I didn't see the need cos most people got after a month.. and the updates they get are most times about a month old.. besides, I just felt September wasn't far.. little did I know! I requested CSE to get updates and know my VO and honestly, the response was somewhat generic but a bit personal.. so I still believed in my September 4 PPR.

September 4 came and passed, so did October 4 and even November 4, still no PPR, no feedback, nothing! Infact, I had composed a section of this story and dated the PPR date as October 23.. but brah, nothing! all the while I kept seeing the frustration on folks in the WhatsApp groups I belonged and how many people were strong and encouraging others.. it was humbling. infact we scheduled a fast just to seek God's face on our PPRs, especially for the other VOs who have just been faffing.. it was so such a strong community. I got a lot of solace in PPR stories, reading landing gists (whenever I had the time cos my job can be so demanding) while I waited. I made sure I stopped viewing my application regularly waiting for GUs. I mean I saw a lot of people who announced GUs but till today are yet to get PPR, I didn't want to be in that category.. I saw how frustrated it left them.. I made up my mind not to look but expect PPR mail.

Suddenly, November 13, 2019 I got a "do not reply" mail. at first I thought it was PPR cos an indian in some other group I am in got his PPR mail in his account. I opened and it was an ADR for SChedule A. Filled for myself and my wife. submitted same day. this time I was convinced PPR was close so I started checking my account weekly (every Wednesday). November 21, 2019 I got another "do not reply" mail. this time I knew it was another ADR so I was a bit upset cos all my Aussy fears started taunting me.. plus I know I had subitted these docuemnts at the time of application. I was really scared and my wife.. lets not even go there.. lool. I submitted like 3 days later cos they asked for proof of sibling relationship.. getting updates on those documents took a bit of time, we sent it with a LoE. this time I couldn't wait to check weekly, I started checking everyday (please don't judge me.. loll). it took a while for the ADR part of the application to change.. it took a week to change to "we are reviewing submitted documents" then about another week to change to "not applicable". the "not applicable" change came with a GU. then i was convinced PPR was here. Although i was a bit cautious cos of the others who got GU and didn't get PPR.

The way the mail came in was a bit dramatic.. loll. i was watching the Liverpool game (and my boys were making me proud), my tizeti internet was messing up so i sent them a stinker. immediately afterwards, i saw a mil notification. i thought it was an acknowledgement of my mail but alas, it was PPR. the joy is so overwhelming, my wife burst in tears. i tell you, the feeling is just.. i cant explain it but you will soon know the feeling when you get it (Amen!)

This journey was God all the way. I have no regrets with Aussy, just a lot of lessons learnt. although, I wish I had started the Canny process a lot earlier but in all, I am grateful.

I am aware that the answer to one prayer point births a fresh prayer point. But i am convinced that faithful is He who has begun the good work to complete it (Olorun Alasepe).

My prayers remain with everyone. this journey is not an easy one especially the wait (even the bible says delayed expectations wearies the heart) but it will come. just believe it, occupy your mind and time with things, keep the dream alive, and be happy. this cannot take your joy away. just be happy. I remember i met a lady at the VFS when i went to submit our passports, her AOR was August 16 or so.. i screamed!! i told her, she has no idea what God has done for her. loll.

Looking forward to the time where everyone on this thread gets that "Golden Mail".

Hello good morning everyone, please I want to ask a question.
My husband is the PA but he is not planning to stay in Canada with us (myself and 2 kids) because he has a job here in Nigeria. Pls is it possible to still apply through any PNP since I am not the main PA and also the CRS is not likely to drop down very soon
Our CRS is 451

DECISION TO TRAVEL

My husband and I prayed last year October about relocating to Canada, and got confirmation to proceed. We decided October 2018 that we will start anything about it January. We sha started the process February 2019, with processing our transcript from Unilag.
ECA
We used ICES. We processed our masters. Started march and it came in June 3rd.

IELTS
We use MOD. We both wrote once. As soon as ECA was ready, we entered the pool
ITA
The joy I felt that day ehn, no be here. My hubby was like “if you shouting this way for ITA, what will you do when the ppr land? Anyways, I celebrated for a longtime.
POST ITA
We gathered all the documents we needed. We did our medicals at IOM, and uploaded all the documents we need to upload.
‎AOR
After our application was ready, it took us extra 4 days to submit the application. My hubby will check and cross check every day till he finally submitted. AOR landed the same day. MEP/BIL landed august 9th.

THE WAIT
It wasn’t easy. That ALL I can say.
PPR
I went to check my profile after someone in my group said he woke up to a GU. I noticed it on my profile too and went to wake hubby up with excitement to notify him, only for him to show me the GOLDEN MAIL.
I WISH EVERYONE ONE ANY LEVEL IN THIS PROCESS THE BEST! STAY CALM, ALL WILL END IN PRAISE!
