Let her go ahead.

They use headphones and the examiners for the speaking test are just like those at BC. Their staff on the main test day were polite too.

God bless you

Jolao:

Hello Everyone,

Congratulations to all that got PPR,ITA and required IELTS Scores. To those who haven't yet, your time too is coming.

Hollarjunnaid:
Mi e family, rejoice with me as I cleared my ielts at second attempt with IDP MOD.

Now awaiting ECA, as WES sent my transcript for verification to Yabatech. Am working on that process now.
However, any help to facilitate the process will be appreciated.

Wow! congratulations , please which center did you write the exam and did they provide headphones? Do you have any advise for anyone considering IDP?

Osaze007:


Thank you
I’m too young to be facing this things
I faced some challenges last year and since then it’s as if I have nervous breakdown easily
I’m so disturbed
I used to be a fearless young man
Now I’m just meek smh

I just really feel like giving you a tight hug right now. I know first hand how life situations can change a person. You must not let your experiences define you. Decide who you want to be and how you want people to see you and stick to it no matter what. Alot has happened to me this year that have plunged my self confidence below sea level. But my resolve is that as long as I still have oxygen in my lungs I will overcome.

GlitteringStar:
Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!

Application Approved!!!

Kindly find below my timeline.

Wow!!!!! Congratulations oooooooooooo May you find favor in the land. You're an awesome individual, you deserve every great thing in life. Go and succeed. Please tell them we are coming

Eraytee:
hello everyone, congrats to all that has progressed to IP2, Gods grace the golden mail will drop soon.

Some people never receive their hard copy (lost in transit) you don't have to wait for the hard copy as the soft copy is identical, please go ahead and use the soft copy.

Maxxyfruit:
My experienced members pls I have a question that needs urgent attention. I am about to start this Canadian express entry application but I am worried about my revoked US visa in 2016. Please I would like to know if anyone with a revoked visa case has gotten through to being issued a Canadian permanent residency.
Is there any chance that after I have met all the EE requirements that I would be rejected (God forbid) because of a revoked US visa. Please I need helpful answers desperately. Thanks
Please can someone kindly respond to my questions above

Hi,
I don't know if this has been answered but my neighbor is currently in Canada on a PR visa and she also had her US visa cancelled and she was returned from the airport in 2016. But in her case she appealed and she won the case and presented all the documents of correspondence with the US government especially the last one stating they regret cancelling her visa, I don't know what your situation is but as long as it wasn't revoked on criminal grounds and you were cleared you should be alright. All the best.

dane15:


I think ITA will aim for somewhere in between 438 and 440 today. Maybe lower..

It's celebration time Sis!

It will end in praise. O ma ja sope!

I was just going to predict 438.

teeebest:
Thanks to all "Elders" for the good work here.

I 've been reading the thread for a while. About evaluating my credentials and also preparing for IELTS.

A friend told me that Canada does not give Visa to a virgin passport. Is this information true please?

So many rumors, please pay them no mind. A friend also told me that the whole PR process is fake (even though my neighbors just left Nigeria yesterday on PR visas) and that Canada is just as populated as the US. Orisirisi. There are alot of misinformed and uninformed people in this world.

ysteph:
Same here. I'm addicted to it.

If you see as i de concentrate on nairaland for office eh. It's as if i'm being paid to read it.

God help us.

There is sth about the thread that makes me feel closer to Canada. Since I found the thread I have never gone a day without reading sth from here. If I am feeling down, all I need to do is come here and I am reminded that my days in naija are numbered.

Just got this. Dunno if anyone has posted it here but here it is.

Dear Brethren,

...for the Egyptians [BC and IELTS] whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
The day has come for us to be set free from these Egyptians. They have somehow given me some sort of mixed feelings though. Nevertheless, I am extremely grateful to God that my morale didn't wane down to a nadir.

L - 8
R - 9
W - 7
S - 8.5

I'm considering a remark in the W, I need that 3 points badly. What do you, my e-family think?
On a lighter note, someone here was touched to give me a hug the last time while I was seemingly downcast. Now is the perfect time, with all the RED theme everywhere. Shall we pick a rendezvous already?

Just seeing this Congratulations!!!!!! Super happy for you.

caon:
or cousin should raise a CSE for status update since it is past six months

Thank you

[quote author=Newmum0615 post=65090398][/quote]

OMG Thanks i really needed that laugh. LMAO

mcstan18:


Sleekchic that is stingy with hugs?
She's the one owing me that hug I talked about yesterday. @sleekchic, any hope?

LMAO a thousand hugs to you mcstan18 and happytbaby and ysteph.

Honestly,i now understand what people mean when they say people shouldnt come for them that they are not 'feeling fine'. It is actually possible to read some comments and become emotionally drained.This is a faceless forum true, but with words you can break or build,with or without seeing the person. I have read all that has been said about not asking for PM's contact, and i will tell my cousin to keep praying.Its all good, we live and we learn.

PS:@Mcstan18, if you are single i can hook you up with my hawt younger sister, but she lives in the states so maybe when you relocate then you guys can 'see how it goes'

ysteph:
I don't mean to be rude or harsh. I am just worried the effect of mails
sent directly to the PM will have on us as a country.

Sleekchic no offence meant.
It will end in praise.

Issok

happytbaby:
@ Sleekchic: I understand what the long waiting period can do to one's psyche, the apprehension, checking her profile everyday etc, but please do not let that get to you guys. Take a deep breath, it will happen.

I know she is worried about having to pack hurriedly and go before her medicals expire and other worries etc , but, please just take it calmly, it will all be well at the end. Please ask her to go ahead with her preparations...anything that can be done in the meantime.

People have been saying that ordering GCMS notes also trigger the VO to work on one's application, who knows...there might be progress soon.

@Ysteph: please let us pass messages with love.

Isnt this someone's msg? ehn @ysteph i just pray you or anyone you know wont have to wait so long to get PPR.

Thanks happytbaby

ysteph:
Please sleekchic stop being selfish abeg.
Don't send mail to PM
Someone has said send a mail to the local visa office.

Why Nigeria things de different sef?
I am yet to hear about this sending mail to PM from any other
thread or group in relation to the Canada Express Entry.

As a matter of fact someone's testimony was that he/she waited almost a year.

Na beg we de beg abeg.

Thank you.

HEY YSTEPH,No need for name calling, you dont need to call me selfish just because i asked for an email address,when they said my cousin shouldnt send any mail did i go further to ask anything else? Your msg is totally uncalled for.

mrsJustveryOkay:
Na wa o.

The fact that they said "we will process your application in 6 months or less"does not mean everybody would receive their application in 6months

As you may have observed from the trend, some get it in days sef.

Please before you begin to look for PM's email upandan, just remember Nigeria is not the only country applying for EE/Permanent Residence

Do not let them ban us from this scheme o!

Patience is key in this journey.

Your cousin should wait, take his/her mind off it...for it would surely come.

While waiting, he/she should develop him/herself, prepare for the future ahead.

My sister waited 7months+ before PPR...LVO

Let's not provoke them with our impatient nature.... Canadians are never in a hurry.

Thanks for the write up, but when someone has waited over 9 nine months for no particular reason and GCMS notes still have only 86 pages(NOT PNP) and the stipulated time says 4-6months you wont blame them for getting a little apprehensive.

Someone shared the PM's email address some time ago but i cant find it. Please can someone repost it please. My cousin's application has taken longer that the stipulated 4-6months,she has ordered the GCMS and it was only 86 pages with noting tangible written in it. She has been stuck on IP2 for 4 months now. please help.

Mighty grateful @blessings2017, @glitteringstar, @newmum0615.

Thank you for responding.

askofemma:
Top of the morning guys!
Pls I need a little clerification, can I use my Corp Acc as a POF as that’s were majority of my money is.

Secondly I studied agric sci but working in the bank can I also use the bank as a work experience since both disciplines differ

Thanks

Hello,
Are you applying as self employed or employed? If self employed then your corporate Acc is OK since you will be submitting other supporting documents. But if employed you will need to defend the funds and explain how you got it. Employed people usually use accounts that are in their name.

What you studied is not so important in express entry. It's your NOC that counts, it must be A, B or O.

Good morning everyone,

Please if my POF is 4.5M and I got a deposit of 500k about 4 months before submitting my application, do I need to do LOE for it or that is not considered a bulk deposit?

@kontagious @glitteringstar @newmum0615 @everyone

naijaismyown:
Good morning. Please I requested for a reference letter from first bank to contain average balance over the past 6 months as well as closing balance, but they said all I can get is the letter stating when it was opened without the average balance nor closing balance. They say that that’s what they giving me the statement for.

Please I would like to know if there’s anything I can do or if the big of them would suffice.

Would really appreciate responses. Thanks

Some bank's don't give the letter in CIC's format. With your Statement of Account you are good to go even without any letter from the bank. Your SOA is cool. But for your peace of mind you can attach LOE saying your bank didn't give you the required letter. All the best.

Try google

Good evening everyone,

Please if my POF is 4.5M and I got a deposit of 500k about 4 months before submitting my application, do I need to do LOE for it or that is not considered a bulk deposit?

Cannygirl:
Thank you @sleekchic, I really appreciate your input. The thing is hubby thinks 300CAD for PNP is cheaper and easier than IELTS & ECA. What do you think? Thanks again

It actually is cheaper if it's just 300Cad, and saves time too. But that PNP route is not so simple. I hope you have done enough research to pick that option.
