Better late than never abi?
My own nko?

Eyaa your case is too late. You already became elder with neither investiture nor permission

Elcid1:
hi guys does it matter if my two work reference letters are of the same format, since the Hr asked i should draft it myself

You yourself how will it look if someone comes to apply for a job with you, carrying reference letters in the same format from his previous employers?

Ifeoma77:
I learnt from you
You are my mentor and my inspiration
I dedicate all my 'awards' to you

Read this post and this song started doing background soundtrack in my head:
Ekwueme.... Ekwueme
Ekwueme... Ekwueme
(it was just looping this part, did not continue to the other parts)

All dos kain of soundtrack in home video when the cup of water falls from mama's hand, she has died and Ada is now an orphan all alone in the forbidden forest where they where banished to by wicked Uncle Eze.

fatiah:
Congratulations to the recent PPR clinchers, fabmummy, gook, aworldcitizen and Nazor83.
CIC o abeg, let this week no pass me by! If at all u want to do small shakara, let it not pass next week.(as if dey can read this)

you'd be surprised.

WES management when the first batch of 50 WAEC scratchcards (with different ref numbers, in seperated envelopes) arrive from Nigeria in one courier package.

'The WAEC strategy is failing. What do we do with these Nigerians?'

jholarharde:
I think your fraternization with ifeoma is getting too much, and she is corrupting you. you people will not kee sombori .

I don use to talk bah bah tin laike orgy
I don use to post pishures of shirtless mehn
I don use to put belle dancers when i wanna play tambourine

joo2018:
Look like WES increased their capacity. They have been delivering before 20 days for a while now.

Lol. I think it's just evidence that Nigerians make up the bulk of their clients. They've found a way to reduce our patronage so their workload has reduced.

Nazor83:
I will not say am a silent reader but when I applied to be an elder Newmum0615, Macstan, Tojued and co did not consider me. How can Newmum0615 who is my junior in Engineering faculty in UNIZIK be an elder and I will not be an elder....lol.

Newmum0615:
I hereby confer the title of 'Elder' on you. Tojued please put the medal on him.

In recognition of meritorious readership
Further recognition of the eldership status already bestowed upon you by IRCC
Even more recognition and respect for a timeline barely up to two months
In deference to your PPR
With eager expectations of your COPR
De facto assurance that you will graduate into the sister thread and share your landing gist
And
In obedience to Newmum's benevolent instruction

I hereby adorn you with this medal. It is yours to keep and cherish

Raalsalghul:
Pardon my naivety. Can someone point me to where I can get the meaning of WES, NOC, PPR. All these abbreviations dey scatter my head.

There's a list of acronyms (and so much more) on page one of this thread. Whatever is not on that list, seek on google and you shall find.

Nazor83:

Congratulations fabmummy and gook. Big smiles here, hardly gets more mushy than this

Happy anniversary guys, it will only get better.

Mamaroon:
Sorry to ask again.....but please has anyone experienced this? Called the helpline but they say that are only able to help with username and password issues!

I think it has to do with your Internet / browsers / personal technology. Have you tried using your phone?

And then I see it's been sorted out with private mood.

SolutionsGuy:
Hahaha. . . If it makes you comfortable, go ahead and raise CSE. But I don't think this will have any effect on your application.
CIC is fully aware that side hustles are commonplace in Nigeria, as reflected in some applicants' GCMS notes. They have also described some cash inflows into applicants account as "other sources probably from other businesses as commonly obtained in Nigeria ".

Please go and read Joo2018 posts from this morning before you insist that your opinions are facts.

My personal advice to anyone yet to submit application : be as transparent as possible. Leave nothing out. It will save you a lot of sleepless nights during the wait.

You can never understand how unnerving this wait is until you join the league. Then imagine being worried about misrepresentation on top. Lol

Anyway, life na per head. All na still advice.

Congrats @melaninpopping, go and prosper. Hope say the cold no go make your melanin fade sha

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.

Now we can move to a new thread. You prayed for PPR announcement on this thread and it has come to pass

This is one of the most satisfactory PPR announcements for me, I pray it's victory and speed all the way forward for you. Double for all your troubles henceforth.

dumprep:
Awwww. My prof Ralph is the best boss ever . Thanks so much for your prayers and advice. Lol@local food. I’ve already started with Nkwobi Sir.

Yes o! Looking forward to meeting everyone here in person. But Sir, what happens when we meet @Tojued and @joo2018 face to face? What happens next?
Should we run? Or we risk it and stay? Because dis one that they’re already meeting at the cafeteria....

Ifeoma77 is on holiday na she for prepare the canes wey we for use take flog you and your professor during our Canadian reunion

joo2018:
my dear, I tire for the whole serere o. I sidon de look.

That's almost 3 months booking ahead at Qlife. Meanwhile at IOM, medicals are available at same-day booking.

It was the reverse with IOM Abuja when there was Abuja Clinics. Abuja Clinics walk-in, IOM backlog of appointments.

Raalsalghul:
It's a pity I just came unto this thread. For now let me just read to know the requirements and then proceed with the first step: getting an international passport followed by writing the ielts exam. So help me God.

actually the second step should be evaluating your degree. Because this process (2-∞ months average) often takes longer than writing the exam (1-∞ months average). Lots of info on page one of this thread.

∞ is the symbol for infinity.

Yakay:
Hi, I have seen the various responses on this issue, but i want to look at this from another angle. I will go with option 3 tho... Don't you plan to bear you hubby's name in future, and also have other babies, what name do you hope to have on your canadian passport when you eventually get there...am just looking at a case in future where your kids have to prove they have same mother and then the mothers name on their birth certificates are different, or there could be other cases...
I don't really know if am making sense, but i think you should do the publication now to clarify the surnames.

whenever she changes her name then she'll do an affidavit of name change and have that document then. If she has not changed name yet what's she clarifying about having different names? Anyway all options na option.

DrMrsCK:
Oh! My daughter will be 3 next month. I guess an affidavit will suffice of the NPC waka fails

Until she's 18 or so NPC will issue or modify birth certificate.

I was issued a birth certificate when I was 9 or so. Got another one when I was 14 or 15.

I'm not saying it's right just exemplifying that there's no wahala involved. Just do the right thing by taking the old one so they can substitute the records rather than fresh registration. Otherwise your one daughter will be registered as two births...

Hephgirl:
pls who has slot in qlife they are not using o? d earliest i got was 25th january .
i dont have money for iom. family of 4
pls epp.

also do they work weekends?

25th Jan? I feel like booking down medicals earliest date for family of 7 just for the fun of it. Because I'm sure that's what people are doing now.

Won't be surprised if agents have also started taking up slots so they can resell for a fee.

DonTee07:
Hmmmmmmm! So they went to cross-check what the applicant filled in his TRV application and the FSW own? Why didnt he/she maintain same employment history. Speechless.

They don't need to 'go and crosscheck' the information is right there on the GCMS system. That's how UCI, biometric information are simply retrieved. And then routine information sharing with the others e.g US to confirm responses to stat questions.

raphrulz:
Hahahahahaaaaaa!!

I don mark all their names.

I have submitted all their names at the PPR disciplinary committee.

We may have to start by seizing their POFs .... (I don dey eye am mhen. That would be like almost 20m)..


then..... they will write another PPR exam and do biometrics afresh! especially @ontarioissauga and @Tojued

@joo2018 @mcstan @ifeoma77 let's meet at cafeteria tomorrow to discuss a sustainable solution this lecturer and his course rep.

Please don't inform ontariossauga about the meeting o! You know he does not know how to hide his grumpiness.

voguemum:
Congratulations to all PPR recipient, we are right behind you. I am here once again with my question (s). I'm trying to prepare all documents and cross check that everything is in place for this journey. Then a thought crossed my mind about my baby's birth certificate because i recall very well the day i filled the form and the lady who issued it told me to change the name I filled in to my husband's surname rather than using my maiden name where mother's name was requested so she changedbtge form for me. So my question is
1. Being that all my credentials has my maiden name and I do not plan to do a change of name will a there be a red flag if my child's birth certificate has my first name but last name is my husband's?

2. Should I process another birth certificate for mh baby and maintain my maiden name?

3. Process a change of name certificate for myself to clarify the two surnames?

Wow!!! Seniors in the house, kudos to you guys. This process is not easy ooo. Compiling documents and making sure there are no lose ends is not an easy something. May the Almighty see us through.

I don't think the name difference is such a big deal, but you might not sleep well at night if you submit with that discrepancy. The easiest and neatest way out is option one. Either process a new birth certificate (pretend like you don't have one already) or go to NPC to effect change on the old one (the right thing to do actually).

aworldcitizen:
I will announce my PPR in part 5 by the Grace of God. Amen.

I say a big amen to this. As you relied on God's grace may this grace speak on your file.

jonababa:
We are cancelling your application - Message from WES

'We regret to inform you that we are unable to prepare an evaluation report for you due to a significant difference between the name on your order and the name on one or more of the credentials submitted.

If you would like World Education Services (WES) to prepare an evaluation report under the name on your academic credentials, please submit a new WES application using that name.'

I applied using Mr Funmi Ade......... name on credential (1) Funmi Osun................... credential 2 (Funmilayo Osun......) both maiden names.

My question if I apply now using maiden name Funmilayo Osun............... as suggested by WES above, will i be able to use this as for my Canada ambitio--- I am a spouse (not Primary Applicant).

Please I need help my ogas.

Send WES a one and same person affidavit.

Yemsot:
please i have a question.

Should I use my maiden name for for my WES ECA or my married name. Because I have my maiden names on all my credentials, so as to avoid any cancellation from WES. Or can one support the application with a copy of the marriage certificate?

Use the name on your int. passport. send copies of your name change documents to WES when sending your certificate.

Raalsalghul:

Please visit page one of this thread. All the information you need is there.

Chicituababe:
PPR guys!!!....

24th May: IP1/ ADR (To upload the right ECA from IQAS). so the wait started and CIC kept sending me letters to submit or app will be rejected.

Wow congratulations. Can only imagine the anxiety you passed through. It has ended in praises!

MMADE:
Pls I need assistance regarding translating PCC. I requested for Norwegian PCC in English cos I spend over 2 years there. However, the PCC was sent in their language. Is there a way I can get any certified translator in Nigeria or can I do the translation myself and get it notarized? Thanks.

Try contacting the Embassy, they might have a list of translators.
