�There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.�

Wow. Congrats to all PPR recepients. Amazing news.

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.

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing. I guess the cancellation after the 3rd week is after the review of eligibility.

rukaiya:
You can upload your AOR document, as proof it's also acceptable even though it's not listed on their site

Thank you so much

ChandlerBing:
I'm also exactly 4 days post AOR. I swear I didn't even realise it was only that many days. Feels like it's been weeks. I haven't been checking as much as I thought I'd be. What does your profile say now? Mine says background check is in progress.

Same here.

Reasonabledoubt:
It’s just 4days after AOR, and I’ve been 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.

Lmao. Same here. AOR is exactly 4days just like you.

I am a worry wart and made a conscious effort not to keep checking lest I loose my mind. Decided to pray, hand it over to God and go about my daily business occupying my mind with work and do a lot of research on the next step.

Still a bit clueless about registering for planning for Canada session on the site when it specifically asks for the documents that I don't have. But I see that people did theirs before receiving COPRs and stuff

Dannyko:
He is not condescending in any way, this thread is becoming very tiring to read with several repeated questions. Your question has been addressed on several occasions on the thread. He expects that you should have studied page one of the thread.Pls let's keep this thread tidy!No offence meant!

If you are 100% certain that this has been addressed on several occasions, Kindly share the link on page 1 where this was addressed. Awaiting your response. Thank you

HOW TO SOLVE SCANNING THE POLICE FINGERPRINT A3 LONG DOCUMENT (SAME FOR LONG MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE DOC)

1. I used the mobile "camscanner App" on my tablet to scan (capture) the long A3 fingerprints document and converted it to a PDF file and emailed it to myself.
(The Camscanner app works like your phone camera- just pace your long doc on a flat table, open the app and snap the document like you would snap a picture, make sure that the shot captures all the document edges, then the app will work on the captured doc and convert it to PDF)

2. I then opened my email on my laptop and downloaded the PDF attachment from my email for use.

3. I then uploaded it into my e-APR placeholder (after merging it with the Police Character Certificate [the other shorter document])

NB: Be careful to upload your PCC into the right and correct placeholder- the Police Character Certificate placeholder


It will all end in praises IJN!

Thank you for your explicit response...x

@gliterringstar, can we please have this moved to the FAQ on page 1. Thank you

Feezeel:
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?

Notarizing a gift deed is 5k. Don't allow anyone scam you please

Elfmannisback:
List of question repeaters is piling up. Mood and age discoverers to boot. I folo give u a like sef. Do u want eldership?

He sure is grumpy. Thanks

Thank you @ smslive, happytbaby & Zeiya. God bless you...x

Elfmannisback:
Use any scanner app from app store. Una don start the week like this..

I asked a legitimate question i have a challenge with. You can choose to ignore and say nothing at all. “Una don start the week like this means what exactly?” My question is totally different from the other poster. You dont have to be condescending with your response. It costs you absolutely nothing to be courteous. Thank you for the suggestion of the scanner app

Hi everyone,

Please how was your Nigerian PCC uploaded. The size of the paper is clearly not A4 or A3. It’s longer than my printer, hence it cuts off the name of the officer who took the impressions, rank, date and station. It doesnt take the entire page. Pls what can i do? Do i just go ahead without the part thats cutoff.
Thank you

Newmum0615:
Personal preference TBH. Each LOE may be scanned together with the specific docs they address and uploaded together in the assigned placeholder or you have one general LOE that addresses everything that needs to be addressed and uploaded in the additional documents placeholder.

Thanks. You’re the best.

Oakville19:
Please does my LoE go in the same holder as the documents provided or has a separate holder....for scanning purposes abeg. Thanks.

Can someone please address this. I also need help on this. Thanks

radec:
@Utonne , and those who used EOR; when is the time to notify idpaustralia about the request and what should be the content of the mail. Thanks

I followed up with IDP Australia exactly 5 days after my EOR and they responded graciously the same day.

30watts:
Guys please how much is the police clearance certificate. The guy here says I should 9,500

I did mine for 5k today with Inspector Moshood. Hope you called him as advised by others

PefHouse:

Newmum0615 ...Did you use a Nigerian bank card to pay for your UK PCC? I have tried all my cards but I keep getting the error "transaction declined contact merchant"

Called the banks and they said the payment isn't hitting their system.

Hi. I used my Nigerian card to pay for my UK PCC. FCMB to be precise. Try someone else’s bank card and maybe make a transfer

And congrats on your successful EOR too, just saw your post about it...hopefully we meet in Ca someday cheers.

Thank you. .

smslive2:
It appears you will need one and same person affidavit and also do a LOE

Hello smslive. I've done the one and same person affidavit but im finding it pretty difficult to come up with a sample for the LOE. Can you or anyone else please.

Thank you.

JumzieBabyy:
Just checked online now and my writing was upgraded.

Finally, IETLS hurdle jumped.

Special thanks to @Uzonne for giving me the email addy to follow up with Australia. I implore anyone that wish to remark with MOD to do just that. Even if the remarking came back unchanged, atleast I will be rest assured it was truly remarked by a third party. MOD IDP Emaill addy: IDPIELTSAUSTRALIA@IDP.COM

@oreoluwa, thanks for the prayer too it was answered.
Next....ITA.

Yay!!! Congratulations.

Expresso17:
Hello House,

Okay i am just getting ready to write IELTS, waiting on WES to complete verification too as they have received my transcript, but I like to plan ahead to avoid delays.
Has anyone done PCC in the UK but now lives in Nigeria, can i start the process now and does it expire? (I lived there within the last 10 years but now live in Nigeria), I read this on their site "The Standard and Premium service fees include 1st class postage to a UK address or standard airmail to an overseas address"--- It takes 10 days if i pay standard fees, Did the 10 days include postage to Nigeria? If not, how long did it take?

The other option will be to send to a friend in the UK who will send to Nigeria for me when someone is coming, what do you advise?

Hi. I did mine and let it coincide when my ITA was to arrive. Doesn't have any validity period on it. Sent mine to a UK address and it was delivered on the 8th working day. You can ask that it be scanned to you. it's cheaper to send to UK and you save extra cash. Cost me 22,509naira. Hope this helps

Hi All,
I gained points for my bro who is a resident and one of the requirements is to present our birth certificates highlighting our parents’ names to establish our relationship.
My birth certificate doesn’t have my second name which appears on all my documents. My dad’s name appears as my second name which is customary in my tribe. However at baptism I was given an English name which appears on all my docs as my second name. Do I just go ahead to do a one and same person affidavit? Please advice
Thank you all

balogunsam:
Even with 1,4,6 and 7 you'll be fine...but its not always too much. Best is to follow your spirit. Cheers!

Thank you so much. God bless you

fmsimple:
Yes, Gift Deed. Format should meet CIC requirement or specs.
Yes, Bank statement.

Perhaps no need for LOE, Affidavit, Screenshot and Transfer slip.

Thank you for your response.

The gift deed format was gotten from the thread. Can you please help confirm if this meets CIC requirements.

Thank you
