You're right. I even saw someone post Sydney CIO's email yesterday alongside that of Hong Kong and said s/he is still looking for that of Nova Scotia.

Finally submitted my application and a part of me is so relieved and happy while a small part is so anxious, maybe it's because I don't remember wanting anything in my life the way I want this.
May my processing time be short and may all our silent prayers come to pass, Amen.
Hopefully I'd come back in a few months and quote this message with my PPR story smiley

The picture quality is very poor. To identify a snake, one needs a clear shot of the skin's markings, especially now that the head is already crushed. But that's never a black mamba as someone suggested.

Hello.
Please I have been trying to find out how to retrieve some of the history i filled in my E-APR to no avail and then I saw this post, but I have tried searching canadavisa website and google but I still have not found it. Please if you have the link to where I could get it I would really appreciate your assistance.

Thank you
Sorry about this.

An advice to anyone planning to submit his/her application. Pls, kindly go through all your filled forms from beginning to the end and screenshot as you go through. It sounds stressful but it can indeed save you pains later.

We submitted and decided to go through the screenshots the following day and realised one of the main documents supporting the PA's reference letter had not been merged with the rest of the document. I could have swore I merged it and claim that village people had somehow managed to remove it if I was sent an ADR or something worse had happened but there it was in front of us and on the screenshot, man's imperfections!

Had to raise a webform immediately, after discussing with @Mmamaroon back then, which was acknowledged exactly 30days later by IRCC.

Why are we always reacting to every news, does it mean we are helpless

It seems we should stop reacting to everything, introspection is a better reaction sometimes,
Ideas can come from slowing down and examining things

The politicians, bloggers, journalist wants us to react to everything, keep calm and watch sometimes.

Metrix147:
Senator representing Abia North, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu says his home commissioned in 1999 will soon be converted to a resort and for the downtrodden.

ABN TV reports that the former Abia governor's home was opened on May 28, 1999, a day before he was sworn in to take over the mantle of leadership upon the return of democracy in 1999.

Kalu who spoke in his Igbere country home at the birthday celebration of a billionaire oil mogul, Mr. Jack Rich, the founder of Belema Oil.

According to the Senate Chief Whip, there is no need to carry out further renovation work on the building which he said has become old-fashioned.

While reiterating that everything about life is vanity, he said he can't provide answers as to why he has such magnificent edifice anytime his children seek answers from him.

Recall that Kalu has embarked on philanthropic gestures through his Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation where he has touched millions of lives across Abia and beyond.

Please, I need advise on the issue below;

Is it possible to adopt a child and add her as a non accompanying family member to express entry application that was submitted in March 2020 ?

Note: the said child is my kid sister who is below 18 years.

According to gcms my application is in OVO and eligibility, criminality and security are passed. The last update was a request for a dependents passport as it has less than 6months validity.

She's in Nigeria atm and my immediate family that was included in the application are based in another country. However, she was only mentioned as my sister in the application.

Any suggestion will be appreciated. TIA
Oh boy ehh.. shocked You mean you just remembered you need to adopt your sister almost a year post-AOR and then as an "unaccompanying dependent" ??

If this is for real, I'll advise you give it a try. There's always a first time of trying things and I personally love adventures.

Ontariopapa:
Good morning guys, please i have a question for the house and would appreciate inputs.
Scenario: Let's assume wife is pregnant as at the time PR application was submitted and it got approved. Passport was sent and received stamped, just few days after passport was received, wife puts to bed. What happens to the child?

Will one of the parents have to wait to take care of the child and then other travels to Canada and then sponsor the child?

Or is there anything IRCC can do to include the baby even after Passport has been stamped and COPR issued?
A lot of people here are way knowledgeable in this than I am but in the meantime before they show up, let me express my opinion as I have read about similar cases in times past.

If I was in their shining shoes, I would have been proactive and asked this question way before now. I would have 'politely' carried IRCC along via webforms and let them know the EDD. As they are humans, they would predictably have delayed the PPR in anticipation of the child's delivery so that they can add the newborn to the application before issuing it.

The way it is now, with this COVID pandemic still raging, the parents undoubtedly will delay things further, indefinitely most likely, if IRCC were not aware of the pregnancy before.

Way forward: They just have to notify IRCC because I'm quite sure they can't leave with a yet-to-be added and approved dependent, so the issue of sponsoring is not even an option as the child is not a spouse that was declared as part of the application but was unaccompanying. And to add/approve the latest family member, the current PPR/COPR will be rendered invalid. A new one will be issued in the end.

I really wish we had read this way before. But still, it will end well. All the best.

PhilipGallagher:
Good evening guys. Please I am trying to use my NYSC as work experience to gain foreign work experience points.

Now the work reference letter I got did not state that I was a “permanent full time employee”. Instead it states that I served as a “Youth Corper under the Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corp Program”

The letter contains other details such as the duration of my experience (years and dates), Job Title, Job function matching the NOC, annual salary, signature and date, and it was written on a letter headed paper (though this is in black and white)

Now would the absence of the phrase “permanent full time employee” cause any problem. Cause a friend off mine is insisting that the letter must state that I worked as a permanent full time employee.


Please I really need help on this.

Abeg don’t air me.
In my own opinion, you shouldn't bother yourself. These VOs know more about NYSC than you think. They already know it's not a part time thing. As long as the letter carries the number of hours worked per day/week in addition to other things specified on IRCC site, it should be good enough.

Seniors .. please can anyone help?
bishopbusayo1:
Please seniors if you get PR via FSW can you reside in Montreal, Quebec? ......I read online that they have a separate immigration process for that area of Canada
Bishop, you've partially answered the question. They have their Immigration pathway as you noted, which is also completely independent of the FSWP. You can't come in via FSWP and stay there; the reason why when you're opening your EE profile and/or submitting your application post-ITA, you should avoid selecting them as a province you want to settle. There have been reported cases of rejection because of such avoidable and silly mistake.

I think if you so love Québec as a province, you either learn French and apply through their Arrima pathway/portal OR relocate there after you have earned your Canadian citizenship, that is after you've completed your 3-year stay as a PR.
