jelmusboy:
October or November? Congrats

Finally, the Eagle has landed!
it's PPR!

Hubby and I can finally have a fantastic night's rest , I had a strong belief that part 5 will not end without my PPR testimony and it didn't.

Timeline below

Decision to travel March 2017 ( Was single then)
IELTS with BC April 2017
IELTS was passed at first attempt 9,8,8,7.5
ECA took about 6 months between NASU strike and IQAS
Got married in Dec 2017 and joined the pool as a couple with me being the PA
Hubby was on the journey before we met, had IELTS and ECA already
CRS score 477
ITA was JAN 5
AOR March 29
Proof of fund was FD which was maturing in 2 months and the balance was from my savings account.
Med passed April 12
Then the wait began ...............

Ordered 3 GCMS notes in between... 3rd yet to arrive
1st and 2nd had similar info note, one of my job references wasn't used so points dropped to 452 but was still good, so I didnt bother about CSE.
Visa office: initially London, moved to kyiv in August.

Started raising CSE and sending mails to Kyiv after 180 days post AOR and didn't really get very helpful feedback except to keep checking profile.
1st Ghost Update 16th Oct
2nd Nov, Kyiv contacted my office to confirm my employment status, HR replied same day.
5th Nov, status changed to NA
6th Nov, changed back to IP1

2nd Ghost update 8th Nov at about 2pm
9th Nov, status changed to IP2 about 2pm
Then at 3:45pm I got an email from CIC, opened my account and behold Passport Request Message, I was alone at the time, I didn't even know how to behave

We have been under a lot of pressure to get PPR so we can land in Canny before our baby who is on the way arrives or airline refuse to carry me lol. I just want to say a big thank you to God who makes all things beautiful in its time and a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I discovered this thread about 3 months after applying and every PPR testimony shared really encouraged me to be hopeful.

God bless you all.

Congratulations on your PPR, I want to scream FINALLY!
My application is in Kyiv too, over AOR almost 71/2 months now but I always yours will be the first PPR out of Kyiv going by AOR date.

Anyway my testimony will be next out of Kyiv

aworldcitizen:
Praise to the Lord the Almighty the king of creation!
Gather round people, it's PPR!

Then silence. Not even a single ADR.
Ordered 1st GCMS notes April 2018 everything looked perfect.
Then complete silence.
Ordered 2nd GCMS notes July 2018, this never arrived
Wrote Raplh who confirmed Eligibility and Security not yet started.
More silence, not even a ghost update
October 3rd 2018 ordered 3rd set of GCMS notes. Arrived Nov. 1st. Still same as April notes. My file had not been touched since March 2018. Eligibility and Security not yet started.
Wrote a 3rd mail to Ralph on Nov 4th who was gracious enough to respond (Ralph responds only once). He confirmed that my eligibility and security was not yet started and my application cannot be expedited.
Nov 8th, like a dream ! my PPR!

Checked email and profile this morning and saw nothing.

By 2pm during my lunch break, I saw a mail notification, I wanted to ignore but decided to check.

I saw a mail from donotreply@cic.gc.ca that I have an update on my profile. I was excited, that finally I am getting a ghost update / adr.

I logged into my cic acct and saw my profile was updated. I was so excited,thinking it was just a ghost update and that finally my file was receiving attention. I wanted to log out but I felt the nudge to proceed and click on view complete application which I did.

Nothing seemed to have changed, my background check was still in process, I was about to log out again, when I felt that urge to scroll further down to the mail section.

I saw I had a new mail, titled request letter. I already concluded that it was an ADR for fresh bank statement. Love and behold, it was the almighty PPR.

I wasn't expecting it to come without an ADR for updated POF since my application had been pending for almost 10months. I lost appetite immediately, and was was just screaming. I couldn't share the news with my colleagues, so I just lied to them that my husband got a new job!�.

I am immensely grateful to God Almighty who did not put me to shame. Delay is not denial. Though it tarries, it must surely come.

Thank you all for all the love and support.

Off to take my pictures and submit tomorrow.

This year has been so challenging. hubby and I lost our jobs, all our money tied at POF, we were feeding from Hand to mouth and struggled to pay school fees. Infact this September, we had to change their schools to a very cheap school.

God bless you all.

Hi Dumprep,

So I'm on the registration page for the session and was asked to upload a proof of eligibility document which can be any of the under listed, but I don't have any of them... which did you use?

an IRCC invitation letter to obtain pre-arrival services, or
a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) letter/document, or
a passport request letter that indicates Permanent Resident visa issuance, or
an IRCC request that an applicant for permanent residence complete medicals, or
a Single Entry Permanent Resident Visa, or
a Permanent Resident Visa pick up notification letter.

dumprep:

Meanwhile, I'm currently attending the Planning for Canada session at Ikeja. Guys.....the importance of this session cannot be overemphasized. With the many good things you hear during this session, you will feel like packing your bags right away and jump on the next flight to the maple leaf country.

stonecoldcafe:
I see the floodgates of PPR about to rush through again. With the ghost update information and June AOR people queuing for their testimony. For those wen never write, go write now oh.

Still remembering our brothers and sisters with LVO, Accra and Kiev. Dear lord, may they open their files and conclude their application so we can also rejoice with them. Amen

Lmao @accident-causing, that was the visual I had too... I mean, must be really impressive to have mentioned it more than once... my brain didn't think of bump too

Ifeoma77:

Ah, you are a good shild. My brain did not even think of 'bump' I was busy visualising Mrs Wiz with an impressive, accident-causing bakassi

Congrats to you fellow "Kievian" lol

I tap into your testimony, my application is 204 days now




Here it goes....will update it small small.

Journey Started February 2017'. My brother in Canny was on my neck to write IELTs. He registered for me, and I was feeling reluctant to even go and write. Didn't even open one book. A day before I just decided to make the journey. A friend in the city where I was to write offered to accommodate, and that was the motivation.
Result came. 9, 8.5, 8, 8.
Then, I didn't even know the use ( options abounded, Australia PR, Canada PR, Australia Skilled Visa etc)

I tried entering the pool in February, 2017 like 4 times, I got profile ineligible. I gave up.

Amen o, 200 days and still waiting...

[quote author=Ifeoma77 post=72101212]Happy new week people, may the PPR/ITA rain be heavy

Congratulations I'm encouraged.

Bimz89:
Its PPR guys...���. I am a silent follower. Been following since 2016 and this thread taught me almost everything about the immigration process so thanks to everybody and may you all get a PPR.

AOR - March 19, 2018
IP1- March 23
MEP- April 17
IP 2- Sept 17
ADR - Sept 21-Height and eye colour request ( submitted immediately)
PPR- Oct 9


My journey started in 2016 when my husband's cousin told me about it but she advised me to use an agent. When i contacted an agent and he told me to bring 3000 dollars, i just knew there was no way my husband was gonna agree to that and he was also not ready to do any research so i just dashed myself brain and started researching on Nairaland straight.. knew i could get almost all the information i needed here.
I wrote ielts twice and still didnt have 8 in listening so husband decided to be the primary applicant since he had more work experience than me anywayz. He wrote 4 times and kept having 6.5 in either reading or writing. I was so frustrated because i was pregnant and really wanted to have my baby abroad and husband had told me to either choose using our money to give birth in the US or to pursue the Canada immigration plan, i chose the latter because i thought i could give birth in Canada and the whole family still gets to become permanent residents but God was just doing Yimu for me i guess. Anywayz, our point was sitting at 411since last year and when the cutoff points were reducing last year, i was very hopeful that it would get to 411 and one of the most painful days of my life was when the draw was out that day and it was 413 ( this is because the draw was following a particular trend, reducing my 4 to 5 points). I cried that day enh, i couldnt just be strong any longer. To cut the long story short, i advised my husband to go through the provincial route and that was the beginning of another torture...... watch out for part 2 ( ghen ghen ghen ghen) heheheh

Good morning house... and congrats to all PPR recipients

I received my 2nd GCMS notes yesterday and the observable update from the 1st one which was received a little over a month ago is that my file has been transferred from London Visa office (August 2nd) and my Primary visa office is now Kyiv visa office (Ukraine). I'm quite confused about the relationship between my application and Ukraine, or do they just randomly select visa offices to transfer files to? Reason for transfer wasn't stated, I'm guessing workload.

Bikko seniors in the house, has anyone been in a similar situation and does this have any implication on processing time? I can't seem to find much information on file transfer especially to Kyiv VO.

My application is close to the 180 days mark

AOR - March 29 2018
MEP - April 12
No update on profile since then
Application includes accompanying spouse
According to GCMS notes criminality and security not started.

I will greatly appreciate your feedbacks, thank you.
