Finally - LRWS (8,7.5,8,8.5) (I was getting ready for the 6th IELTS oh because i was not confident i would pass the 5th). Thank you hubby for believing in me, pushing me and making me believe in myself because honestly, paying that money over and over again no be here and i was about to give up on my canadian dream of almighty IELTS.

Marriage - December 2018 (I didnt change my surname, maintained my maiden name for my EE application)

Good morning
Ottawa has finally released us!
Details coming soon

Two questions: can any other person (my husband) aside from the primary applicant submit our passports?

Our application was processed at Ottawa, can we raise CSE that our passports be submitted to a nearer visa office, say Ghana?

May God grant the desires of our hearts speedily in Jesus'name.

Shalom!

Hello guys,

So I woke up to see the golden RFV email on my phone after battling this journey for this long. grin grin grin

This came after I posted that I raised a CSE expressing the travesty that was done in the evaluation of my POF by the case officer who stated an amount well below what I had declared. I prepared my counter-argument and requested that a review be done again as I believe that this could be a reason for the delay I have experienced which is totally unfair.

However, so the story goes and on this note, my watch has ended.

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed by sharing info or providing updates of their journey as well.

So I got my PPR yesterday

ECA: Done with WES

IELTS: First time was enough to get my wife and I up to 440.

ITA: Dec 19th with CRS score of 440. I was initially waiting to complete my spouse ECA but decided to just sit in the pool at 440. Scores were about 420 - 445 so I was just waiting for my wife's ECA to sit pretty at 448. A co-worker just said I should enter and see. I entered and less than a week later I got ITA

AOR: Feb 10th. Took a while to get all my stuff ready, plus I was not willing to spend too much money.

Surprisingly, we saw a ghost update on Thursday morning and my birthday gift (PPR) arrived early same evening on the 10th of July………………..Trust me I cannot describe the feeling that comes with PPR (Golden mail) in words but I can say it is a great RELIEF.

This journey is not for the faint hearted, it requires a lot of patience and perseverance.

I was about to to check my IELTS result and was feeling like using the toilet. Immediately I saw it, all the disturb vanished.

1st attempt was a success: 8/7/7/7.5 for LRWS respectively. I dey suspect that my reading o, but I will just leave it like that since CRS is @472

Thank you Lord for success.

For writing I will advise all those having difficulty, to answer task 2 first before task 1 since it carries more marks and d brain is a bit calm. Also, more important in this IELTS is learning synonyms. I will find time to compile list of common synonyms which one can easily use in writing later.
