Game of throne night watch!!! Congratulations to you and all who have supported you one way or the other on this journey.

We have alway preached elaborate and educating PPR story on this thread. So please I’ll be giving you 2/10 just for the timeline.

You can ask for a remark sha
omamofe:
Hello guys,

So I woke up to see the golden RFV email on my phone after battling this journey for this long. grin grin grin

This came after I posted that I raised a CSE expressing the travesty that was done in the evaluation of my POF by the case officer who stated an amount well below what I had declared. I prepared my counter-argument and requested that a review be done again as I believe that this could be a reason for the delay I have experienced which is totally unfair.

However, so the story goes and on this note, my watch has ended.

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed by sharing info or providing updates of their journey as well.

VO: Ottawa
CRS 461
AOR 29th Nov 2018
Medical Passed Jan 8th 2019
Biometrics submitted 9th Jan 2019
The only update recently seen on my profile is that my Biometrics has been completed.
GCMS notes received 4th July

You may need to check your local post office for your mails. Nigeria postal office may not deliver this to your house ooo.

It happened to me and I had to go pick it up at the post office
blazetitov:
Please House, I just got the mail below from ICES;

Thank you for your email. We are pleased to advise you that your report was completed and mailed to you on June 28. Both copies were sent to your address in Lagos by regular postal service; no courier fee was paid for this. As per the requirements given to us by the IRCC, they do not want nor request a hard copy sent to them. That is not the process they have set up. They view the assessment online only. Therefore both copies have been sent to you. The courier fee you paid for that was refunded.

Please how long does it take to get regular mail delivered to Nigeria? Who has similar experience? I have sent a mail back requesting for a tracking number if available. It is almost a month since it was sent. cry cry

As per the fee that was refunded, no credit yet to my account. Don't know if that is bank related.

If the money in your Gtb account came in as a gift, then you would need a gift deed submitted but if not, your statement of account would be needed since you will be transferring to Stanbic mutual fund.

You need to show proof of where the money came
bamingo:
Hello All,

Please treat urgent:

so i intended using Treasure bills via GTBank as my funds were in my Gt account. but for some reasons, today i decided to opt for the stanbic mutual funds options.

however, i'd like to know what the processes are and the required documents i should obtain from the stanbic mutual funds people. furthermore, i have a feeling i'd transfer the funds to my stanbic account (since i have one, or no need?).... also, do i need to submit any doc from gtbank (statement, reference letter etc).

many thanks.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 8 by Richness1104: 12:17pm On Jul 23, 2019
I’ll go with treasury bills because the interest rate is high and secure. It’s a federal government investment unlike fixed deposit.

I don’t really know much about mutual funds but I heard their interest rate is usually higher than the other two types of investment

bamingo:
Good evening Canadians;

please advice a brother on which of the following investment options for my POF (sitting pretty in my account):

1. Treasury Bills - Primary market not available except secondary

2. Mutual Funds - don't know how to go about this.

3. Fixed Deposit

I think if you are currently unemployed, you will need to get a reference letter from the employer whose years of experience you want to use. You can explain the hiatus period under personal history.

You will not need to state your number of years under work experience
Silversurfer1:
Hi everyone. I've asked this question before but haven't received a better answer.
If you are currently unemployed, how do you go about stating it in the application? Do I get a reference letter from my last job and then explain the period of unemployment, or how do I do it?
Please help me. Lol
Thanks

I really don’t think this is a fair statement. When you put in so much effort and you are made to do the exam over and over again, you will under better. Take for example, the Indians on the average pass this exam well while few percent pass it at one sitting in Nigeria.

While it’s good to know the basics of English, I’m of the opinion that the test centers in Nigeria are exploiting the candidates unjustly [quote author=KingMEXX post=80514107]I don't believe this narrative because it is an avenue to give excuses for failure.

You can book an appointment for medicals before ITA. It is usually called upfront medicals.
Bazbaby:
Good Morning, I have beeen a silent reader since January but now I am ready to unveil myself! I started my PR journey in January 2019.

So far:

IELTS completed grin overall 8
Wes accreditation of my masters completed
3 years of work experience

I dived into the pool last week with 451 points but based on recent draws I have to look for ways to boost my points. I am yet to claim any points for my spouse...I am already working towards that.

Please I have three questions that I need answered urgently:
1. If I get a gift deed from my parents, does that money need to be in my account till I get my PR?
2. I have read that it is better to notorize the gift deed, if I notorize the gift deed do I still need to include the witness signatures (this is based on the format I have seen here on Nairaland)
3. is it possible to book medicals at Qlife before ITA..

Thank you!

Your patience paid off and now we are all celebrating you.

IELTS 15 times is well over a million naira but you guys were sure of what you wanted and you went all out for it.

This should be a source of encouragement to a lot of people on this journey because you can’t decide to give up because of one setback. You can decide to sit back, re strategize and try again.

From 2016 till date, it’s a huge success and I congratulate the family for this great feat.

For this well constructed and inspirational script, I am giving out 9.7/10.

Well deserved and good job. May the land favor you and may it never be desolate. Great harvest awaits you

I am really worried about the recent spike in draw points. After simulating my crs points,single,bsc,over 3 years work experience,ielts LRWS 9,9,7,7.5,and I will be 30 in August,my points ,using my age as 30 is 433. I am so scared, I do t know if the race will get stiffer..I just want someone to open to, before I use thinking wound myself. I am studying for the bcs exams,to boost my crs points..but I am still scared. When they remove tradeau, won't it get stiffer?

Hello Family,

I have just decided to applying Express Entry to Canada.

I juggled around crs but got a 425 points after using the highest scores at the IELTS �

I am single, age 32, with B.sc and over 4 years work experience.

WES - Done
PNP - None

Opting for M.Sc is not an option I can conveniently access at the moment.

PNP as it’s known takes months.....not an option either.....last resort maybe.


Kindly advice on best possible steps I can take.

Thank you.

It took me 30mins to read and digest your PPR story.

It actually felt like reading a novel and I am thrilled that this PR journey has made some people to discover their gifts and talents.

Seeth thou a man diligent in his work, he will stand before kings and not before mere men. Thankfully, you were able to adjust your profile to spouse accompany, I am an advocate of that because being together has its own benefits.

For a job well done for a well worded PPR script, I’ll give you 9.5/10.

This will not affect your application in any way.

Once your CRS is high enough for that particular draw, ITA is sure whether single, married (accompanying or not accompanying), separated or divorced.
