If u requested for eor... And want it actually remarked call British Council... I mean their UK number.
These Nigerian guys don't remark nada... They just pick a selected few.
From that I understand they have days they send the results for remarking.
If those batch leaves ... The others will be "marked" or shld I say "reposted" here..... U just get ur result reuploaded.

@Tojued, your delving skills is meaner than any dwarf's own in a fantasy novel.

Almost no skill required for such sha. If you weren't afraid of google before, now's the right time to start being afraid.

What is the step-by-step procedure to apply for Canada PR?

Hi,

I did the following

Got my IELTS score. The Score was 9- 8–7.5–7.5

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool: skilled immigrants (Express Entry) - went here and checked my CRS score it was 478 for myself and 468 when I included my spouse ( my wife was pregnant at that time).

Did my Education Credential Assessment from World Education Services at https://www.wes.org/ca/. I applied for this and wrote IELTS in parallel it took more than 30+ days to get the doc in hand.

One I had both IELTS score and education assessment I was ready to apply for the PR.

Applied for PR through express entry program at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada | Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada.

Horrified to see my CRS score got dropped to Bleep points. Found out that since I had work experience among different NOC, CIC only took my recent NOC experience and reduced my points.

Luckily got ITA in the next draw itself, minimum score was Bleep.

Now it was the time to get all the required documents such as

medical certificate for both my wife and myself.

police certificate for both

experience certificate for both.

proof of funds statement.

Submitted all documents and paid fee for PR processing and right for permanent residence.

Once again horrified to see a message saying my application got cancelled after 3 weeks. The reason being I have not submitted documents for my new born baby since.

The baby is only 1 month old when I submitted application for PR.

I have foolishly mentioned I have minor son in family details then only applied PR for myself and my wife. ( I thought I would change application once I get documents for my baby).

Reapplied express entry on the same day of rejection.

Again got ITA the next day itself, the minimum score was 441.

Got all documents for my baby.

Resubmitted all the documents and repaid the PR processing fees for 3 ppl this time.

Lesson learned, even if double / triple check everything something might always go wrong. Do not loose heart and keep at it.

@tojued. you can check out this link for daycare,pre-schools and day homes depending on your location. I was able to secure 2 spots for my kids and you can also get help with care subsidy also. Its https://www.canadachildcaredirectory.com/

Thank you.

It’s just 4days after AOR, and I’ve been logging signing into my account to check for update more than once a day.

How did you people stay sane o? I’ve read the suggestions here, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

I don’t know how to handle this obsession.

God help me.

Now you know why we all on this thread all day helping out, throwing subs and brewing catfights (in that order) . Don't worry, the first 60 days are the worst (if your PPR will even take up to 60 days).

Newmum0615:
Preparing ain't we?

Na awa way

Hi guys,

My Tbills certificate will expire in 2days and I am yet to receive PPR, still in IP1. Would it be a problem? Can I re-invest the money again? and if I do, do I have to send them the new Tbills certificate? Or I should just leave the money in my account when it matures.

If I were you I would reinvest. And I won't send them the new certificate (no need fixing what's not broken). If they ever ask, then you can immediately upload ADR (and they'll see from the date you reinvested that funds were never tampered with).

I want to pay for WES today,
Please can I use my Ecobank MasterCard to pay?

Last time i spoke with ecobank customer care (couple of months back) monthly limit for nairacard was $200.

Opsyola:
Hello family.
Can my dad's cousin qualify as my family ties in Ontario

I don't really know much about OINP but since social ties and personal relationships apply, then dad's cousin might work. Worst case scenario they determine that he's not your family, but he still gets classified as social tie/personal relationship. However you could always play safe and use the FSW eligibility list for relatives in Canada as a rule of thumb:

This relative must be a:
parent
grandparent
child
grandchild
child of a parent (sibling)
child of a grandparent (aunt or uncle)
grandchild of a parent (niece or nephew)

Bonjour house (this greeting should work regardless of timezone ). Thanks in advance for reading and responding.

Cost aside, is it really difficult getting a spot in daycare? Calgary to be specific.

I'm seeing news articles of 600 names on waiting list, etc. (mostly ontario sha). If this is the case, will it ever be possible to take advantage of Alberta's new $25 a day ELCC centres?

I prefer proper daycare because the boy is already in KG1 here. Abi do dayhomes have early learning programmes too? In my mind I see them as equivalent of creche here (eat and sleep) But na the ELCC still win am sha, because even with the daily cap, day care subsidies still apply. Meaning you might get to pay almost zero for daycare at the end of the day.

Hi everyone, for those of us post AOR. What have you found that REALLY WORKED and helped you remain calm and patient before PPR? I'm AOR 21Apr, MEP about a week later. Please exclude the following advice; get busy, get a job, save, travel, marry, have kids - these boxes already ticked

Have you attended planning for Canada session? Have you identified your career path and short term goals immediately after landing? What's your plan for your children? Have you started planning how to get into daycare waiting lists, or will one spouse's income be sufficient to tide over while the other stays home? Have you adapted your CV and updated your LinkedIn? Have you started taking free courses or started your licensure process? Do you already know how you'll convert your driver's license? And so on and so forth. These things can keep you busy enough to be distracted.

Please don't be a silent reader @tojued

Nope I'm still around. Just feeling important with all the mentions today plus sad I caused the issue that made our NOC queen leave us.

I dey this thread till all my family, friends and acquaintances get copr. Too much info here, na me dey rush the thread.

I did not come to this thread to give or take respect, I came to to get information, and I'm still here to get information. I'm not hiding behind my keyboard, I'm controversial and borderline rude in real life. Fortunately for me, I remain tolerated because I'm helpful. If you're an elder in real life and annoyed by exuberant kids on nairaland, just pay a consultant already!

Would i rephrase my naira wise dollar foolish post if i could go back in time? Yes (in retrospect it was mean). Will I display such behaviour in real life? Definitely yes. And then apologise (always better to apologise and do what's on your mind than to take excuse and never do anything). But this time I won't apologise because the reactions which followed have deadened my conscience. Since wakapass is a policy, lets also learn to wakapass over rude posts rather than derailing the thread.

Funniest thing is 70% of the people who clicked my bait won't read this post, because they really don't follow the thread.

@newmum0615, @Elfmannisback (and all the silent readers who have crossed over), I'll miss you guys. Thanks for your time and knowledge. To the superstars who still spend their expensive time answering questions and updating page one, thank you.

Distinct777:
Please does anyone have a contact at the passport office in Ikeja? Please help a sister.

I want to take my kids tomorrow. Is it compulsory for both parents to be there to sign the letter of consent please?

In Abuja you provide a letter signed by both parents... They don't care where or when the letter was signed. Don't forget to take photocopy of data page of both your passports. And children's birth certificates. Hold originals in case you meet a zealous official.

Utonne:
can we please have this moved to the FAQ on page 1. Thank you

It's already on page one. Kudos to those keeping that page updated.

Guys, is it really necessary notarizing a gift deed? I too to my heels when a Barrister just told me it will cost me 20k. No be small run i run. For those that got PPR, is notarizing the gift deed necessary?

Someone on this thread got ppr without notarising gift deed. There are some links somewhere hidden on page one of 'people who got ppr with gift deed'

Tombae:
I beg your pardon, If you have nothing helpful to say kindly say nothing at all and keep scrolling than reply and come across as totally and absolutely ill-mannered. After all other people replied me and weren't rude about it. You don't know peoples struggles so don't act like you're well informed on anything of the sort. Please act accordingly.

I advise you in love to read page one of this thread, and also learn to use the search button. It will make this entire process cheaper for you, if indeed you'r trying to save cost.

COPR:
If actually you want to save money, you would evaluated only you Master's.

They don't have MB to read and obtain such (cost-saving) information. Naira wise dollar foolish.

ayxmania:
Hello peeps, biko help me. I want to evaluate my MA degree with WES, am I supposed to send my WAEC certificate too? I'm confused.
If I am to evaluate my WAEC also, how do I go about it? I'm frustrated.

That's true. Since when female genital mutilation don become reason to seek asylum sef?
Nigerians sha.

Has always been. FGM, widowhood rites, all the human right violations we take for granted are probably grounds for asylum. Or were until recent growth in anti-migrant sentiments. Situation has deteriorated so badly that migrant ships are turned back from European shores. Could never have happened 5 years ago.

odigiri1983:
Please some one should help us throw more lights on using ICES and IQAS.

You'll find the light here

Mummychichi:
Choose one

I choose the first one

ysteph:
It is well. But why are the immigration lawyers unhappy?

Source of income? I reckon it won't be cheap to retain an immigration lawyer for asylum proceedings. And only economic refugees like Nigerians can actually afford the hefty fees.
