Kmgb:
U guys should chill na...I can mistakenly input 8 instead of 7 on a date even if my intention was to input 7,it happens all the time,Its called a typo,because the drop down calendar will put 7 beside 8 right?

The misrepresentation bruhaha in all these is if my result form carries 7th which is on a Wednesday however I had filled and created my profile on a Monday prior,imputting 8 and then after the result is out on Wednesday, I go back to correct it to 8,my gcms note will show i created my profile before the test date of the result I used which is a problem,however if I inputted my score anytime after result was out and I made a mistake,changing it shouldn't give me high bp,that's why we go over our answers several times before submitting.

Hello Sweetpea, hw r u?

Congrats @melaninpopping, Fabmummy, Nazor83, ( isint it a blessing when one key information changes your story and CRS score? I can identity with this part of your testimony because in my case, a key information was the difference between CRS score of 445 and 420) and @gook

Congrats @pejuhazel, wasseynewest on your ielts victory.

Congrats to all others. Una well done. Back to living in Canada thread. Hmm

SkyWalk12:
First off, I am girl. Lol

The interview was extremely difficult. I plan to write in detail about it cos I don’t think we have a wealth of information on interviews here. (But I can see why we don’t. It was harrowing and I don’t really want to discuss it in detail- at least till my PPR comes). Major issue identified was that she didn’t believe I had actually worked as a psychologist during my NYSC, she said I could have been a receptionist. Regardless of my BSc and MSc in Psychology from two goo Unis in the U.K., my reference letter and bank statements showing salary payments. I sha tried to convince her.

If Ralph said all my assessments were passed, do I still have something to worry about?

Hang in there sis. Hang in
@aworldcitizen's case has shown us tough cases crumble like paper before God. We will rejoice with your ppr testimony soon.

You have a good point on the lack of interview info on this thread. It could be because some of such cases are nerve racking and also personal. We look forward to learning from your experience in your set time. Hang in there

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

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!
I'm mostly MIA these days and always pages behind but I must return to celebrate you dearly beloved. I rejoice with your family. I play my tambourine and shekere to celebrate this victory. I may be late but its OK. Your testimony is worth the major praise jam!

Release them oh yea Kieve, release them LVO, release those applications Ghana. You have held them long enough. Release!!!

Super excited for you sis

jmnsimone:
Hi everyone

I've been refused a Uk visa before but I can't remember why I was refused or where the refusal letter is - will I need this post ITA? If I do need it is there any way I can request another copy? I'm trying to put everything I need together while waiting for my ECA to materialize and I don't want anything else delaying me.

I had a refusal too. I couldn't remember the exact reason they gave. I no longer possessed the refusal letter.

I simply stated the refusal month/year and the country it was to, I uploaded the visa page where they put the ugly rejection stamp (as per all marking request) and simply stated I could no longer remember the precise reason the embassy gave for refusal. I had no issues. I had no ADR for this. I have my COPR today.

If CIC truly wants to know why the visa application was rejected, they can simply request same information from the UK. Don't go troubling yourself about old rejection letters. The most important thing is full disclosure of visa application rejection

Double post

Newmum0615:
You can do a transfer to any of the listed bank accounts on their site. Ensure to use your booking ref code in your narration so that they can easily tie it to your booking. You'll get a ticket within an hour of making payment, except you didn't use your code like I said in which case you will have to send a mail to them to issue your ticket.

Thank you sis

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

wizean:
For God is faithful and faithful shall He remain!

IT'S PEE PEE ARHHHHHGGGG GUYS !

Congrats bro. Congrats to the Mrs too. She believed in your dream and together you have made it. Even that little baby and the others to follow will thank mummy and daddy for the decision they made which made them citizens of a first class nation. Who else is next for PPR?

Congrats again

Aug 24 AOR
RPRF just landed today.
My heart has been beating like crazy.

Calm down, calm down (in lasisi elenu's voice)
RPRF is a good indication that let's you know things are moving along smoothly
At a point, It used to be a great indicator to show golden mail is just around the corner however this may not be the case these days
Just the way ip2 is the new ip1 now
It could be almost golden mail for you (hopefully) but it may not be
Check my timeline to see what I mean

In any case congrats on your RPRF

Calgary is so beautiful

Hello. How did you guys go about making payment for Ethiopian Air as payment can't be done online

Cc: @ribaby

TwentySeven:
Quick question please:

I was denied a U.K visa previously and I dsclosed this in my application.
Its been almost 2 months post AOR and i have not been sent a schedule A form to fill.

Is this normal?

I never used eye to see this schedule A form people always talk about. I always read about people filling it themselves without being asked to. Others I believe got ADR to fill it.

I had previous denials as well. I never filled this form on my own. I was never told to fill too.

I merely filled my EE profile well by stating all travel history and declaring the previous refusals. I even attached a refusal letter while I stated that I couldn't remember why my very first visa application was denied.
I wouldn't sweat it if I wasn't asked

doppler06:
Congratulations to everybodyyy is in order. I lost count somewhere
IELTS, ECA, ITA, PPR, COPR, Landing...... a very hearty congrats to you all

@stonecoldcafe.... thanks for that question you asked about whether the visa comes with photo. I was adequately pre-warned and saved myself both a mini-heart attack and from acting small drama at vfs

Nor be small thing o! That day, I continued to linger around the premises because I tot something was wrong with the size of my photograph hence the reason it wasn't used.

I was almost going back to lay a complaint before I decided to respect myself and ask on this thread. Thankfully, response from newmum was swift. LOL

I love this thread for a reason biko! That's why I've graduated but I've refused to leave here.

Good morning, for those who purchased Ethiopian airways abi air ticket, how did you guys make payment as dem single Naija/Sudan cards

Dotcman:
Is anyone awake... please my application was rejected today, I included my husbands daughter and completely forgot I have to do medicals for her. How do I go about this pls.
PS she’s in UK with her mother , and would I have to reapply? Or just email them and update.

Please help.....

Shoot! Medical is a key component in this journey so there is no way you are fighting this off.

Well, its OK. Time to refire. Hopefully your CRS score is still very tight. Reapply ASAP! And take your time to tender a water tight application

CanadianNaija:
Just got back from a planning for Canada session held today somewhere at Ikeja. Guys make sure you register and attend this, I promise that the amount of research you have done doesn’t make up for the quality of information you get there.

I was just sad when I saw that a country that one haven’t landed in can organize orientation programs, pay for hall rental with feeding inclusive, employ staff and pay flight for them to travel city to city to enlighten people of their options before they land (All free of charge).
The government of Canada is doing this for people that are not even their citizens, trying as much as possible to ensure that you succeed, yet I can’t list one tangible thing that Nigeria has done for me.
It’s well.

My dear Nairalander, after attending such an informative session earlier this year, after chopping food and enjoying all you stated above, as I took my IOM/CIC red bag (with the cute flash drive + my certificate of attendance) I knew my life would never remain the same.

I just felt it even tho na only ITA i get that time. Such care from a government wen nor even know me sef. It was from that day I began to feel like a Canadian sef, not PR oh! Full Canadian citizen. LOL

majjj:
Good day all. I’m a silent reader on this thread and I desperately need an answer. My husband is the primary applicant and is self employed. His company is a limited liability company. Are tax receipts compulsory? If yes,is it FIRS or LIRS? Hoping to get a response to enable us move forward and prepare all our documents while waiting for ITA. Thank you

To get quicker response and also to see how successful self employed applicants went about their application, visit page 1 of this thread.

Then scroll down abit until you get to "people Who Claimed Points As Self-Employed Applicants". You can PM those guys directly or read their testimony to be better informed. Good luck

olujastro:
I did ielts last month and my CRS is 438 at the moment, 2 points below the current 440. If I wait till July/Aug next year my CRS will be 473 courtesy of masters and age.
My initial plan was to wait till next year before entering pool, but my friends have been putting pressure on me to use my Nigerian BSc and apply instead, citing unfounded fears that things can change really fast by next year (EE could stop, the process and required documents can become more difficult, etc.).

The problems I have with using my naija BSc is the unnecessary stress and cost of verifying transcripts. Having to put enormous pressure on people and bribe them to do their jobs that they're paid to do is sickening to me. With European degrees, it's about one click away at almost no cost. So I'll be happy to avoid all the naija wahala especially with WES now demanding WAEC for Nigerian degrees.

Any chance the cut off will drop below 440? What's the pattern like for cut offs...does it increase or decrease at the beginning or end of the year?
Any advice if you were in my shoes?

This is entirely up to you. Would the score go below 440 this year? No one can say. We would like that to happen for our brothers/sisters in the 430's but at this stage, people are being advised to max out or try PNP where all else fails.

By all accounts, 473 is an excellent score. Even if crs scores go up next year, its unlikely going to affect you. And we know this program has plans to run until 2020.

I take it you have started the masters program already. I remember when entering the pool earlier this year, some members on this thread were heading for open university programs. By the first quarter of next year, we will be rejoicing with them. So you see, its all about planning. Take a bold decision and work towards it.

For your degree, you can use ICES since WAEC buhaha and verification wahala nor dey.
Good luck

waynetemi:
Congratulations o! 17 months ke??

And here i am complaining about my wait going to 11 months. All this rain and not a drop has touched me. I have gradually lost interest sef.
Moving on with a new business venture and bigger things. My attitude: whenever God says it is time. While i wait i will live ..

Hang In there. Hang in there. Don't stop doing your thing but remember some of us remember your monikers and are rooting for you guys.

@ ITABABE testimony shows us it will happen in its season. Congrats @ ITABABE. I celebrate with you.
