Accra is also a visa office so some applications are processed there from start to finish. Amazingly, Accra VO has been said to be on fire recently and PPRs are being dished out in 2 months. Keep an open mind and keep praying

Folafikemi:
So I called CIC this morning to determine the stage at which my application is after a quiet while (PNP) and I got the shocker. Was told the processing office is at ACCRA.

I was mute for a sec. Pls I want to know if my thinking is coordinated o. Thought PPR will first surface before getting involved with Accra VO and pls family what should I expect as I have heard lots of not so interesting story and delay about Accra VO. Thanks

You can book when your faith feels like booking. Just joking, please book when you pass IELTS and the cost is 35,000 for adult and 27,000 per child. You can call them up ahead to book and you can always move the appointment forward to a later date if you ain’t ready to go in for medicals

kentoski:
Thank you for this well detailed information, although I'm still quite far from this stage.

Please in your opinion at what stage in the journey is best to book medicals? Knowing how the long queues always is, when is it advisable to book, and any information on the bills for the medicals in these clinics? Thank you very much in advance.

Congratulations!!! Hope you booked your flight as I told you yesterday.


Hallo @Richness1104 script duty calls

With respect to all the elders in the house, page 1 of this thread is where you need to visit. Yes you need to write IELTS and evaluate your certificates. Only your Bsc and other certifications is ok in this case and not Hnd and Ond. There is also a PNP thread for everything you need to know about that process.

MT:
Please I need a head start as I just got a grip to start this process. Please can someone re Science, Bsc from a University in UK , PMP and Microsoft Certifications. I am a Software Developer.

3. I am over 40 but if I want to boost my score via pronvincial nomination, what do I have to do? Do I apply to each of the provinces as the first step or after 1 and 2 stated above, I can now commence.

I hope someone will pick this up to be addressed. Thank you.

I think you should send them a mail and this is because, over time, university degree and ICAN has been evaluated as 2 or more certificates

edebra0406:
I just got my WES evalutation and its not what i expected. I have a university degree and i am also a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigerian(ICAN). The summary of the evaluation from WES is 4 years Bachelor degree. Please i need help, what should i do next? Thanks.

Your spouse doesn’t need to evaluate his credentials if you are not claiming points for it

hiiphy:
congratulations

a quick question please

did you spouse also verify her/his result to get ECA or you used only IELTS

someone told me ECA is required before i can use my husband IELTS scores

thank you

Draw soup or which one? Just joking..... They should have one today but we are praying it won’t be a high number ITA

happyme31:
CIC wetin Na?
Where the Draw

A sworn affidavit should be sufficient stating the correct date of birth which I am of the opinion that it is the one on your birth certificate. Also, I hope the birth certificate you are referring to is the one gotten from NPC? Research has shown that NPC birth certificate is highly required for provincial nominations

CheesyTee:
Please house, my place of birth on Intl Passport is different from my birth certificate. I do have birth certificate and I understand that should supersede.

And yes, I’ll be required to upload birth certificate under PNP (SINP requires uploading birth certificate).

My question is, is LOE sufficient or I’ll need sworn affidavit to correct the mistake?

To correct the mistake on Intl Passport, it will require going to Abuja.

Please, your response will be appreciated.

@Samsonedos Good morning, I sent a mail. Please check. Thank you

Both are very good investment options but tbills is better because it is secure (federal government backed investment) and usually possess higher interest rate compared to fixed deposits

Fidesa:
Hello house,

Trust we are all doing great.

Quick question:

A family member is going to give me my POF which will be backed by a gift deed and notarized (just so that i can have rest of mind).
Now, i wondering which will be best to keep it between Tbills and fixed deposit.
Can someone just advise me on which option is better, with reasons explained.

Ps: My score is 468 and i'm patiently waiting for the next draw, meanwhile i am already gathering my documents ahead, that is why i need some advise on the POF.

Thanks.

Hello Doyindre, the best option to thread is to sit for another IELTS exam and ace it. Uncle connection for express entry isn’t applicable only siblings. You can also include a PNP route but this decision should be taken if you have exhausted all other options.

Doyindre:
Hello everyone,
I’m ready to embark on my immigration journey. So I took IELTS and I got LRWS 7.5,8.0,6.5,7.0. I have my Btech in computer science as my highest qualification right now, but currently doing my MSc program. I clocked 25 May 26, 2019. From what I’ve read here I can use my NYSC worm experience. My spouse has an uncle in Manitoba which gives us a connection to Canada. I feel I’m 0.5 short with my IELTS score but hoping the connection to Manitoba can stand in for this and increase my CRS.
Please I want to know if this could help me before applying for my express entry. Thanks

I told you just yesterday that though it tarries, please wait for it and God finally did it. Congratulations to you and your family, PPR well deserved but not to forget those your extended families too ooo.

I enjoyed reading this script with so much emotions and it gives me so much joy to be the one to grade it. Although I’d like to give you 9/10 but I’d be giving 7.5/10 because you skipped from ITA to AOR, no POF statement, Medical process, PCC, reference etc. May this decision be the best you’ve ever made

Its PPR!!!!!!!!

I went to my dad's grave and told him i was about to submit my application. i submitted... And went home.
I thought tops my white man i go marry get Carmel babies. Lols.. Or black man but my babies will be Canadians.

Na so people i applied with were getting PPR after three months... In face most of them have landed... Ottawa no reply me. I called CIC every month yet nothing. Is settled my mind to Six months.. I told myself las las they go give me before 6month timeline go reach.

6 months do and pass...that's when depression the stare at me in the face...

I went to Ghana for a short vacation to get out of the circumstances of my life. i didn't want to go far just in case there was an ADR or PPR. am grateful for Ghana. It put things in perspective and i had reached that point that i was fine either way... Whether PPR came or not.
I came back May 8th 2019.

Friday, May 10th 2019 few days to 8 months post AOR i saw i got an update. I quickly checked... It was a ghost update. Na so they next saga started. I called CIC on Monday 13th May, the agent told me that i should expect a letter soon. I waited( thought 8 months was long... Na this was the longest wait) till Friday 17th May. I called CIC again. This time i was told congratulations by the agent that my application had been approved on 13th May 2019 and i should have received a letter from AVO. i said ah wetin AVO and me get in common as my application was in Ottawa all this while. He said they issued it to AVO to send it to me. I told him i was sure i didnt not receive any email. He them forwarded Accra's email address and said i should email them telling them i was aware that my application was approved and i was yet to receive any letter.
I sent the email immediately. Didn't hear from them after 4 days... Called again Friday 23rd May. This time the agent said he will send an email to AVO and if i still didn't receive a letter within 2 weeks i should call them again.
Ah Sunday i decided to tell oga Raphl MP wetin day go on. I email him yesterday.
Today was at work as usual, around 3pm i got an email from CIO not AVO. They said they were sure AVO sent a Ready for VISA Letter on 13th May 2019. That i should check my junk, spam, and inbox but if i was sure i didn't receive the email i should reply. Omo i check my mails again for checking sake... And replied them immediately... For my mind i said tops they would respond in a week. But about 3:30pm i received the Golden Mail!!!

Yes if you read my earlier post... immediately called my family not to tip toe any more... That it had landed... Ah you can imagine my mom's joy... It was more than mine... She said now when the extended relatives bring me up in their jist to mock her... She will say ... Eh... She dey obodo oyibio... They go shock eh!!! You know Nigerian and the respect they give you when you have a child abroad Lols.

Letter came in 27th May 2019 dated 27th May

As i said earlier not all of us will get PPR after 3 or 6 months... But God has got us. He will perfect that which he has begun in his time.
Who ever you are... At what ever stage...if you believe this is for you... Then go for it full blast... Though the silence may come, though the ADR's may come... We are will be victorious!! God has got us ...

Came to this thread in part 3 was active then but over the silence of the process i got drowned with emotions... But i am so so grateful to all of you.. The encouragement i got this morning was amazing and it came with the favor i needed. Thank you All!!

If you can get your posting letter to the school, statement of account showing your monthly payment and every other things you can lay your hands on, then you are good

Yodexy:
Please I'm in need of within this period, bearing In mind that I'll like to start processing Express Entry as soon as diploma result lands.



@ ladymarshall are you seeing this?

I had to ask this question again because The school I serve at, has been dissolved. So there's no way I'll be able to get a letter of reference from them, should the need arise.

Hello, the certificate is the most important but if you have urge to scan the fingerprint also, why not?

BootyliciousHon:
Fellow Nairalanders, please I have a question...
When submitting our documents post ITA, are we to also upload the thumbprint pages along with the Nigerian PCC? Or is the pink copy alone sufficient?

deboks:
Hello FAM;
Got a question, don't know if anyone has experience this.

My AOR is September 15th 2018. Yes. Its almost 8 months 2 weeks (for those who believe they are the last in December AOR to receive PPR; saw a comment like that and silently chucked). Many of us are out there... Mostly just exhausted to comment...as most of the peeps we applied with have landed. Lol. This process can take a lot from you... Be prepared.

Anyways, so after 7 months of silence i got an update, i finally moved to 1P2, background check had commenced.... Finally ....in my mind!!!! Friday, 10th May ( some days to the 8 month mark) i get another update. This time a ghost update. On Monday, 13th May, i put a call to CIC and was told i should receive a letter shortly. I waited till Friday, 17th May 2019 and called again, this time i was congratulated by the call agent that my application had been approved and i should have received an email for passport request letter. I told him i got nothing yet. He said it was sent to AVO to issue the letter. told him i haven't received anything from any Visa Office.

Anyways... I was asked to email AVO and raise a CSE...telling them am aware my application has been approved but i was yet to receive PPR.... i have Submitted and email and CSE. Its been more than 2 weeks no response or PPR from AVO.

I called again Friday, 23rd May, the agent was nice and said he will contact AVO himself. Anyways just to be proactive I just wrote an email to Ralph last night. Besides my email address is correct as i have confirmed this in the several calls to CIC.

It is so exhausting to have waited so long and then told it was approved... but no proof... Lols ( lawyer speaking)

My question is if anyone

See, not every one will get that 3 months timeline... Not everyone will get the before 6months timeline. Some like me ...will for whatever reason best known to CIC will be tested in patience... Be ready.
Hopefully soon i can complete it by saying " Be ready, though you pass through the furnace of patience the fire shall not burn thee because thou shall come out victorious"...

though it tarries, just wait for it as it will surely come. You have drawn strength from your inner man today and be rest assured that I will be here to celebrate with you and also mark your script. A lot of people go through this torture and feel like just giving up or throw in the towel but be encouraged this morning cos it will all end in praise

Getting a letter of non indebtedness is neither compulsory nor required but a lot of people provide it just to have their peace of mind. Applications will not be rejected based on non availability of letter of non indebtedness. However, Incase you have any loan you are servicing at the moment, please make room for it together with your POF. As an illustration, if you have a loan of 500,000 naira and your expected POF is 5,000,000 then you are expected to have a POF value of cumulative 5,500,000. This is just to play safe and show that even when you pay off your debt, you still possess enough to bring with you to Canada.

For the housemanship and Nysc saga, please if you don’t have a reference letter from employer or documents that can convincingly prove that you were employed at an organization for a period, put it under work history. It doesn’t matter if there is a void under work experience so far you are not claiming points for it. That’s why there is personal history column where you can narrate where and how you have been in the past 10 years. As it’s usually said, do not complicate your application

JBArokonkwo1:
Hello guys,please I have two questions bothering of proof of funds as well as work experience.
1. I am using two treasury bills as proof of funds,first bank and access bank. I have my treasury bills statement
I am thinking that eight months of nysc is a big void and I should avoid it.
Please a detailed response to my questions would be highly appreciated...
Thanks alot..

@stencil has done so well by sending the equivalency tool so please use it for all your questions regarding this

Pls wat abt a pg dip? Is it still evaluated as 2 or more cert?.

There is no need to worry yet. You can order a GCMS note sha to be sure but I am sure your second PPR is on the way.

Dame91:
Hello everyone,

Please I need advice on what to do. I applied for EE on the 24th of April 2018 I was single then so I applied alone. I got a mail that My ppr was ready in October but I got married so I informed cic and I was able to add my husband. Then we got ADR on the 10th of January. We were informed in the mail that decisions will be made in 30 days. My medicals expired in Febuary so by March I was told to do another medicals. My status shows MEP now. But we've not heard from them since then. Our visa office is Accra, should I be worried?

This is highly accepted although concerns has been raised by some who felt their visa officer had doubts about using Pension fund as POF

Pascal2016:
Please can someone help me with this:- My wife is the primary applicant, can I, the husband use 25% of my Pension Fund to make up her POF.
Is it acceptable?
Has anyone done that successfully?
Thanks anticipation.

The international passport will suffice please. There is no need to complicate your application

Zara01:
Not at all, I assumed it will be relevant in showing age, no? The International Passport bio data page will suffice?

Are you sure your card has been activated for online/international transactions? Did you do any update on your account that may affect the usuage of your card such as a name change? These are some of the questions you should answer

goodlife2018:
Dear Respected Seniors in the House

I am trying to pay for my PPR application fee with my GTbank Master card and keep declining the transaction. Even when I tried same with the Naira Card still having similar problem. Please I need help...... Anybody. Thanks

You can go for medicals, it doesn’t change or affect anything. I had gone for medicals a month before ITA so you are safe

Fidesa:
Hello House,

My score is 468 and i am expecting to receive ITA by the next draw.

My question is, although i am yet to receive ITA, Is it advisable to still go ahead with my medicals now since i have been able to secure an appointment this week at IOM?.

That is, will it be a problem if medicals is ready but i'm yet to receive ITA?

You will tick Yes for result to be sent to organization and IRCC should be picked

sempe123:
In registering for the IELTS exam on BC website,do i need to click yes for them to send my result to any organisation on their own?And if so which organisation do i state?

Be encouraged in the Lord my brother/ sister cos it will definitely end in praise. Have u requested for your GCMS? Do u have an idea of what the interview is about? Go prepared and go with God. Also, there is a WhatsApp group for ACCRA candidates with interview request. Just search and follow. You’ll be fine

DeeHoney123:
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE, PS IS THERE ANYONE THAT WAS ASKED TO COME FOR INTERVIEW AT ACCRA VISA OFFICE FOR EXPRESS ENTRY.
I JUST GOT A MAIL FROM THEM SAYING I NEED TO COME FOR AN INTERVIEW IN ACCRA, PLS I NEED ADVISE, IM A LITTLE DISCOURAGED,

Please hurry up and submit that PPR script jare. I want my Boss @ladymarshall to do justice on this.

OYASALOF:
Haha, you're not the only one o. My script is "overready" sef. Started writing since February 27
Crossed 6months yesterday, ghost update 4 days back. I'm trusting God for this week. It will end in praise

Seems you know French so you can consider writing TEF for additional points

ChopNCleanMouth:
Is it too late to say congrats again?

Been off here a minute.

Kindly advise.

I am 29, will be 30 next year.
I have a B.Sc.
I have almost 5 years of experience
IELTS score: 9,8,7.5 7
Single.

My present score is 438. considering it's low.

What programme can I start and conclude before the year runs out to improve the odds?

I am open to a wide range of suggestion.

Cheers and merci beaucoup.

Please keep pushing because this dream is worth every part of it. I am not going to give up so you shouldn’t also. Encourage yourself in God

Donacanada:
Thank you for this. This spoke to me. I have my IELTS result and ECA. But ITA seems impossible to get because of my CRS and my husband's refusal to do IELTS. I want to do CIMA and have started some preparation, but I lack motivation. It just seems so hard right now and I don't know if I can make it. The Canadian dream is getting blurry. So I really needed this message. I will push hard, and hopefully testify soon.
Enjoy!

At the moment, yes

MrPein:
Thank you @Zara01 for your response.

I know of Qlife in Lagos. I reside in Port Harcourt. I just wanted to know if its only in Lagos and Abuja one can do medicals for EE.

You can know your chances when u perform comprehensive Ranking System simulation

sempe123:
Good day,bro.Pls I will be 35 years of age by december this year.I am single also with more than six years work experience.Highest qualification is M.Sc.What do u think are my chances with this express program especially considering my age?Thanks

Now this is hilarious. Make I help am complete am jare....... your ways are not our way nor our thoughts your thought

TWoods:
It’s interesting how christian-sounding Nigerian Muslims have become. You’ve essentially quoted actual bible verses that are not found in the Koran.
