Luce:
You’re welcome.. however, to the best of my knowledge the repeat CXR is standard; 3 months after the initial X-ray to make sure there are no changes. So make sure to double check with your panel physician about that.

the PP stated it clearly that it was only the test that was required, no xray. He also said the x ray is not mandatory that is a question of 'may'. I sent u a pm. Thanks

Luce:
Process continues... I got a further medical test request about a month post AOR and other processes continued (as per gcms and status change) while I waited 3 months for results then passed medicals.

P.S. : The tests required were sputum test culture plus repeat Chest X-ray which took 10 weeks in total. This was because they thought there was an abnormality on my X-ray and had to rule out Tuberculosis but it’s all clear now so if that’s your case, don’t worry it’ll most likely be fine. Actually gives you the sad certainty that your PPR is definitely not coming within that period which spared me about 3 months of constantly checking my mail. Lol.

thanks a lot for your response. Mine came 7days after but sputum test culture only.

GlitteringStar:
Still applicable if you will be comfortable doing an X-ray while pregnant. It all depends on you.

Many thanks, I get the point about pregnancy. But what I want to know is if the other processes will still proceed if an applicant has a medical history for which IRCC requires additional medical test. Will all other reviews be pending until the result of that test is out and medical is passed?

Will answer 1 be applicable in a situation where one has received a request for further medicals from cic?

GlitteringStar:
1. No

2. Your POF must be intact all through the process (i.e till you land in Canada).

Hello Everyone,

I would like to start this week by dropping my timeline and state that I'm grateful for God's mercies. My application was processed in less than 40 days...never hespered it!

CRS: 450
ITA: April 25
AOR: May 30
MEP: June 12
IP2: July 6
PPR: July 7 (no ghost update)

Passport submitted: July 9

(Was a little short on cash and met a lady who without any fuss, gave me the required cash in exchange for a funds transfer. If you are on this forum, i really appreciate you and you confirmed to me that we have good people in this country)

NOC: Thank you @newmum for helping me see that i had chosen the wrong NOC even though i was post-ITA so that i could change it to the closer match before submitting. Getting my reference letter wanted to be a real war but God intervened and somehow i got it through an unexpected twist of events.

Background: My application was pretty simple; married with children and more than 6 years experience in my primary NOC. Hubby's work experience was detailed in personal history.

IELTS: Aced on first try and honestly used it as a fleece to confirm if God wanted me to embark on this journey at all and also to confirm if all the grammar i think i speak was worth anything... . My speaking was HORRIBLE and i was sure i had failed but ended up with an 8, overall band was 8.5.

ECA: This was the second curve ball, it took 4 months to conclude due to NASU strike but i was just chilling as POF was kuku not complete.

POF: Didn't know how much was expected when i started this journey and honestly if i knew, I would have chickened out.
Got to know after acing IELTS and it was too late to turn back. POF was half complete as at ITA but the funds showed up barely a month after. Got two gift deeds from close family members for up to 50% of total POF and didn't notarize any based on info from this forum. Submitted all my account statements and even salary account for good measure even though the balance was meager, major funds were in money market funds and 25% of pensions contribution for both me and hubbs.


@Newmum i'm still very much rooting for your PPR story so i'm posting mine before the avalanche of congrats for yours comes this week.

@Everyone still trusting and waiting to complete one stage or the other, it will happen as long as you keep pressing forward.

I appreciate the wealth of information gathered from this forum and really believe we still have honest folk in this country.

It did end in praises.... Congratulations to @DereI @bonnie1 @happytbaby @Thecanadiandrm @dappydappa @Adlib07 @cheromel @fizzywah and co...may Gods favour always with u all over there.

More PPR good news coming our way in this month of July IJN.

Congrats... More blessings

IELTS - wrote It twice and a big thank you to my mother who woke up one morning in September called me as asked me about my Canada waka and encouraged me to were the exam again even offered to payed as she wants to do omugwo in obodo Oyibo (the abroad)

Praise the Lord...congrats. It all ended in praise.

Dappydappa:
So, I shared this long epistle on the 6th of April, 2018.

Hey mate, it's ok to cry but make sure you get up, dust ur ass and do the exam again. However, I suggest you do not attempt a re-evaluation. They will just take ur money and give same results. Lemme share my IELTS journey with you.

1st attempt.....5.5, 5.5, 7.0, 7.0
2nd attempt....6.0, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5
3rd attempt.....6.0, 5.5, 7.5, 7.0
4th attempt.....7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.0
5th attempt.....6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5
6th attempt.....8.5, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5
7th attempt.....9, 7.0, 6.5, 8.0
8th attempt.....9, 8.5, 7.0, 7.0.

Note that where I live, the BC IELTS test is about 110k, re-evaluation is 63k and I spend a minimum of 150k for each of these attempts. IELTS humbled me but I eventually conquered.

For the listening practice, I wish I had stumbled into IELTS-mentor.com prior to my 6th attempt. You should definitely use this website and, attempt finishing the listening practice tests. There are about 14 of them. The answer section will show/tell you all that you had done wrongly in the previous exams. At the point where it says "you have sometime to look at your answers" during the listening test, kindly move on to next session if you have nothing to look at. That's actually the trick to have a headstart.
(Pls, don't apply for another exam unless you start to score 37 and above in the listening practice).

Also follow Jay on E2 language (YouTube) or his blog if you have money and don't mind paying for his teaching classes (I didn't). He is quite resourceful in reading, writing and speaking. Always write your answers (listening) in block (capital) letters.

Finally, do not stay down. It's okay to fail, weep, cry and feel devastated but, make sure you don't stay down. Get up, dust ur ass and always remember that it's only IELTS that is stopping you from getting your MAPPLE card.

***Shout outs to Gliterringstar and Amoese. I don't know how to thank you guys.

I'm the accompanying spouse and our application was pretty straightforward, so we didn't have too many LOEs.

80% of our POF was in Tbills in my name while the rest was in my husband's.

While I didn't need to ask questions, this forum has proved super helpful and I'm grateful for everyone who has taken their time and energy to give of themselves for free.

I wish everyone favour in this journey!

congrats...all glory to God.

QSola:
Your name is a strong tower Jesus, to you belong all power Jesus, everytime i call your name, you make a way, your name is a strong tower Jesus.

Where should i start, i heard about fsw november last year and at the same my bro in usa told me to come over. I got to usa and i was told various means to obtain the green card, in short my husband i met with my arrangee spouse and we started preparing on how to get the fake divorce papers. It got to a stage i told my spouse that we should stick witg express entry cos i was scared of the repercussions. I left usa after 2month and came back home. I wrote my ielts same month twice and made it. My step mum stopped talking to me cos i didnt stay back. She called once and told me to tell her the truth that maybe we were to broke to afford plane tickets back to usa. She wanted us to go tru asylum to canada and refused talking to me ever since them. But today olowogbogboro made a way where there's no way. PPR came in

Ps. Even though i explained my pof in my loe. I still did a break down of the pof in a tabulated form and added it to my pof placeholder. I hope you find it useful. All the best.

thanks a lot. Very useful. Will do appreciate if I can get a sample of the pof tabulated form too.

No Adrs
Visa office- Ottawa

Application details: Dont have a thing for long write-ups but i got so much from this thread; this is one of the ways i can give back . Someone might need this.

Pof - used hubby's savings and gift deed from my brother. My husband did a bulk transfer and he wrote a letter of authorization stating that it was for our immigration waka( God bless @ ethelia for responding to my question on this). We also used 25% of his pension fund. We included:
• Gift deed ( prepared by a lawyer and my bro also did an affidavit to join d matter)did not add my brother's statement of account
• Statement of account ( hubby's and mine)
• Hubby's payslip toojoin ( oversabi thing shey? My dear, anything to clear their doubt)
• Letter from stanbic ibtc showing how much he is entitled to 4 months after resignation.
In all we had a little above N10Million to show as proof of fund which was alot more than we needed for a family of 4
Work history: got a refrence letter in cic format( claimed only 2 years work experience, cos getting from my previous place of work wasn't exactly easy), hubby also got his but it wasnt in cic format so, he drafted his job description and attached it. We explained in our loe the reason why it wasnt in cic format.
I also changed my noc code post- ita and used an loe to back it up( God bless you @ newmum0615 and many others that came through for me).
Ielts: ok, so we got our ita with a crs score of 446. Along the line, hubbys ielts expired and he had to retake, that was how he had 6.5 in writing. This dropped our crs to 444. Thankfully, the draw score at the time of ita was 442. So we included an loe to state that even though our crs has dropped to 444 we are still well above the draw score.

Loes: our loes were very simple and concise. I strongly advise that you make your words few and unambiguous.

Medical and pcc:qlife and inspector moshood ( paid 9,500 for hubby n i)

Vsf submission:My brother helped with the submission, and paid for vsf courier service for it to be brought to our address.
[b]
Things to note: Hubby n I have moderate travel history
• Both of us have been refused US visa before
• Hubby has been refused Canadian visa before.
• We didnt fill schedule A form and there was no Adr for it.

That's about all. The truth is, I cant say this was what we did or did not do that made our application super fast; it was just God's favour. Ofcourse, we tidied up the application well and made sure we were honest.

I bless the day I stumbled on this thread,its been my manual on this journey. It contains all you need and more... pls for people just joining, read through and through. @ ethelia,@ newmum0615, @ luffyhaki @glitteringstar and all the amazing people on this thread- You guys are all shades of awesome( cyber full hug) thank you and thank you. God will honour you for all to see. AMEN!

Congrats again. Please can you please share you LOE format or let me know where I can find one.

Just a brief highlight:

POF - Gift Deed (64%), while a fixed deposit account was opened with the entire POF. I got a reference letter from GTBank (thanks to my account officer whom I have never met, I simply sent a mail to her requesting the letter in IRCC format) and then added it to the fixed deposit certificate, as well as evidence of gift transfer, and a reference letter and statement from my PFA.

ECA - I made a mistake earlier which turned out to be in my favour, did my ECA with WES in October 2017 and friends advised it should have been with PEBC, but coming here I learnt if my NOC wasn't 3131 then I'm good to go with WES. My advise to pharmacists with only BPharm degree, please use PEBC (irrespective of your NOC) to gain points for professional degree.

IELTS - As per IELTS, I didn't find it easy at all. Listening humbled me big time but in all I give thanks to God and my lovely wife for her unflinching encouragement, her question after every attempt was "so babe when are you registering again?" , giving up was never part of our options. My attempts below;

Aug. 2017 - 1st Attempt: L6.5, R6.0, W6.5, S7.5

efueh:
Hello house,
Due to the obvious merits of IQAS evaluation of B.L & LLB over WES, I tried to opened IQAS account for my sister now, I find out that I couldn't pay their fees with my debit cards. Unlike, WES that I used my debit card for myself and another friend successfully.
Please, those that used/using IQAS, how did you make your payment? I need to know so that I can complete the profile account opening asap.

It sure did end with praise...

Hi Toju, I registered three weeks back with my ITA letter. Got a reply from Wumi. Was scheduled for August 14th. I think that’s the only date for Abuja presently.

how do I go about registration for Canadian session in lag?
