Anxiously waiting for the rest of the story...

[quote author=fabdee post=61630710]LONG POST ALERT
MY LANDING GIST.

Hahahaha.....

Hephgirl:
Chai... U quotted that long post for this one line? It is well

Ok. Lol @ loose knots. It is well. Wish you all the best. Guess the next thing is to share our landing story....which would be stress-free by His grace.

yimiton:
Yes, I got the email address of the lady that attended to me when I went to send the passports and forwarded the mail to her. She had earlier told to me do an authorization letter, so, I typed a letter, signed, scanned and attached it to the pick up email and sent both to the dhl lady.

Planning to leave in January. Got some loose knots to tighten before we pack up and leave.

Thanks

Jumdah20:
Congratulations Yimiton and Tee why, all the best as you go forth

Congratulations to you too! Will do pick up tomorrow ,got the mail late. So I have to forward the email to DHL? Didn't know that...thanks.
leaving next month. You?

yimiton:
Interesting. Have you made arrangements for pick-up?

The agents were telling her she needed to send the mail to them and give them an authorisation letter. Fortunately, I was told when I went to send my passports, so I had everything handy.

When are you looking to leave?

Congrats!

Yes o! Just got mail. Status changed today too.

yimiton:
Hi Teewhy31, any update on your Pick up mail? I received mine today and my profile has been approved.

I totally agree

careerwoman:

Good Lord!! You sound like fresh wine..
Don't mind me, I have a soft spot for positive minded people. Your replies are always on point!!!! Why wouldn't "success" be in love with you and your household with this display of optimism and strong determination to excel?? Your wife is definitely a lucky woman.. Your children are blessed to have you!

Thanks for sharing this.

@ Yimiton and teewhy1
Passport delivered to Accra on September 19th. Sent the an email (to Ottawa, London VO and Accra) on Tuesday to ask for update and expedited processing. Got a response from London Visaoffice:

Thank you for your email.



Please allow a minimum of 4 weeks for the return of your passport.



Kind Regards,

Still keeping my eye on the CIC profile for changes though.

Thanks. @ 6 weeks...

SlowlybtSurely:
Yimiton and teewhy31, please don't fret. You will receive your passports. I do understand it can be annoying. I got my application approved exactly 6 (six) weeks from the day AVO received it. After that, i still didnt get pick up email until i sent them a reminder. So trust me, I know what it is to wait.

Focus on relocation, cos it will surely come.

It hasn't been approved yet.... checking every hour.... still hopeful.
You are not alone o!

yimiton:
Exhales...does it mean you haven't received yours too? I was beginning to think I was in this boat alone.

Has your profile been approved?

Sighs.....oh well! I asked because we submitted about the same time. Guess I was hoping for the speed of PPR. It is well. I wonder why it takes them so long.

yimiton:


Nothing yet, my profile still hasn't been approved talkless of pick up mail.

Right now, I've decided to just chill and try not to check too often.

Hi Yimiton, any update? [quote author=yimiton post=60937035]My Dear people, please don't blame me for being impatient oh, in my mind, I am already in Canada and I plan to leave in December or latest January.

But you know, final arrangement like sale of property and booking of flight cannot be confidently done unless we see our COPR and stamped passports.

So, to help me plan properly, I will appreciate if you will drop how long it took from the day Accra received your passports to the day they you got the mail, informing you that they're ready.

We tracked and saw that ours were delivered to Accra on the 22nd of September, 2017.

Please how long did yours take?

Thanks for the question.....been itching to know. The wait seems much longer than it really is....

yimiton:

Please how long did yours take?

... lol! couldn't help myself

Hephgirl:
I don't know o.. I'm not ur brain... Only u can determine this....
Good luck

I think this thread should be renamed"IELTS" or "WES vs IQAS" or something like that.....
Running away

The electronic report from the site.

Raconteur14:


Sorry to be a bother. When you say soft copy, did WES send a copy to your e-mail or is it the electronic report gotten from their site that has the watermark "not official".

Did you send from Lagos? Mine was 19,575. I am sure the weight (0.5kg) also affects the cost......

yimiton:
I tire for DHL. Courier to Canada from Unilag is N16k but passport to Ghana is N20,800 .

Agreed. I actually used standard delivery for.mine but it never came. Instead of requesting for another I used the soft copy from WES and uploaded it.

codeworks:


If you are applying for Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program, you dont need hard copy, they will send electronic copy to IRCC

Mehn....hope we can change later.sad though!

Zaen:
I'm having the same issue

Congratulations!

MRSDA:


Spot on! Got Medicals passed now!!! yippee

Oh! My maiden name.....thanks for your help.

SlowlybtSurely:


Your PR card will bear the name you have on your COPR.

Hello everyone, please I want to know if the details (basically name) on PR card is tied to your passport. Ehm, my passport bears my maiden name and my application as well. So wanted to be sure that I would have the option to state that my PR card bear my husband's family name.

Thanks ma'am

Wura27:
Congrats! Just read your good news. Welcome to the thread, it's good to have you!!

N.B. Beware of the highly opinionated, bad talkers, pessimists, etc. it's positive vibes here only!

You might want to read up, there's a lot of valuable info here already.

I welcome myself to this thread.

Congratulations! I also used 25% of Pension.

yimiton:
Hi Guys, my PPR is here and I really want to thank God for it.

Our application wasn't in anyway perfect.

Things we were scared we didn't get right:

1. We used 25% pension to complete our POF
2. We didn't upload my spouse's IELTS but raised a CSE about 2 days after AOR
3. Used LOE to explain that the part of the POF which was in T.bills was withdrawn from my cooperative savings account

Timeline:
CRS: 438
ITA: 9th August 2017
AOR: 23rd August
Medical passed/IP1: 6th Sept
NA2: 8th Sept
IP2: 15th Sept
PPR: 15th Sept
Family of 4

The PPR mail landed at 3.01am but we saw it at 9am today.

Our status still hasn't updated but hey, we have the mail.

In all, we give God the glory and we recognise that He alone made this happen.

Thanks

Jugdement:



Wow! Wow! . 18days! Congratulations

Thanks...indeed He has. God will perfect all that concerns you

GlitteringStar:


Indeed, God has filled your mouth with laughter and he has done a great thing for you and your family. Congratulations!!!

I claim this speedy processing time too. Amen.

Thanks dupyshoo

dupyshoo:
Congrats to you and teewhy31!!!

So here goes.....
Don't have plenty story just that God did it
.... I mean He really did.
ITA- May 31( 414, second express entry profile first expired)
AOR- August 28(got it a few minutes after submitting documents)
Medicals passed- September 11( BG changes to NA later that day)
PPR - September 15( got email at 3.01am)
Family of 4.

Everything was not perfect , worried about everything but I prayed for less than 3 weeks processing and I got it.
This platform was helpful both to douse fears and also increase it. My advice...sometimes in the multitude of information worry might increase, God will perfect all in His time. I know I can't express what I went through and how much I needed this but trust me I did. Right now it feels like I am dreaming....well when the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion......

Thanks to everyone and good luck to all those waiting...... Good things come to those who wait....

DBA4show:


Congrats. Kindly Share your timeline.

PPR rain is here again.....

Good morning friends, I just checked my email and got a final request saying my visa is ready to be issued....feels like I am dreaming! My profile has not been updated though everything is still the same, "we are processing....we are reviewing...." It makes the email look like a prank.

Thanks for the response.

Abby2017:
Means you are in IP2 and PPR is on the way. Congrats in advance

Amen o! Thanks

boldinc:
That should be IP2...

PPR is next.
