The rate at which people are claiming plots of land in this part eeeeh, the part is moving at a supersonic speed. 11 pages within 24hrs.

With this speed, I just hope there will be enough time for those who pray to get PPR to get it, before this part comes to a close.

A new part already!

I must announce my PPR in this part IJN. Amen!

Yes bro. Thanks for your help and link. It helped a lot.

jjohndoe83:
I can relate!

IQAS has just released me ooo and I just got soft copy of ECA since applying on 9th April. ( 6 months )

IQAS is a mini post-ITA patience trainer.

Diving into the pool now, although my CRS score is below current trend, expecting spouse's ECA hopefully before month end to bring us up to required CRS level.

NB: Although I dnt encourage anyone who is in haste to use IQAS, if you have already started your IQAS process, feel free to ask me anything.

Biggggg Congratulations dear LadyMarshall!!!!

At long last after a long wait!

This really shows that there is hope for everyone.

Please know that you are highly celebrated and God has indeed rewarded your labour of love and selflessness and sincere desire to help others.

Congrats again and happy for you.

ladymarshall:
My people o, it's Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, as in PPR

Just now. I can't breathe. Oh my God. This feeling is indescribable o. I was sleepless last night and ranting on whatsapp group early this morning o.

God has humbled me. I'll be back with my full script. Let me catch my breathe. I wish I can send voicenote so you can hear my screams and fast breathing.

I don't think there is any issue with this. However, you can do a one and same person affidavit. This will also be a useful document during your actual EE document submission/upload.

igboin1:
Good evening house, I need your help please, my first name is Cole,middle name is Ikenna and surname is Obi. But my M.sc cert has ikenna Cole Obi on it, instead of cole IKenna Obi. I want to evaluate my results via Wes will there be
An issue with regards to this minor error

For SINP, what if you have had about 90% of the required POF before the 3 months prior to the nomination and then you get the remaining 10% of POF just within the 3 months before the nomination? Will that be acceptable?

ednut1:
sinp nothing can be done. EE as long as you have gift deed to back up the huge inflow. You can submit next day

If this was the case, then Canada would have been filled up by now and Naija would be empty.

TOKNOW:
Pls another question about IELTS. Can one combine more than one sitting ?

Great ZIKKIT!! GREAT!

I learnt many things from your story, but the best is this:

"Wonders happen when couples work as a team!"


May God favour you beyond measure in Cannyland!
Big congratulations!

Title: Probably the Longest and Uneventful PPR Story


Let's start from the middle...


Otito.

Phew!

Mailed you.

Jackolala:
Thanks a lot for this. I greatly appreciate it. And a big congratulation. I love and want to replicate your testimony of "first and last attempt".
Please mail me. Thanks in anticipation.

Wow!.

That's great to know.

More victories to us all.

bukky18:
Congrats. What a coincidence. Same mod, same date, same result across all modules and same @wasseynewest group.

Celebrating little victories. . . .

My efamily,

Join me to thank God oooooo!

I just collected my IELTS results. I wrote on 17th August with MOD.

I have been afraid about the bad experiences from many previous test takers. And that's one of the reasons I have hindered my spouse to come to this Nairaland group as she would be also writing this Saturday.

This is my first and last attempt oooo!

L : 8

R: 7.5

W: 7.0

S: 7.5

Overall band : 7.5

My materials:

I used IELTS Liz YouTube videos for my speaking , listening and writing tips. I also used Jay and Chris ( IELTS advantage ) videos for my writing.

As for reading, I just did a lot of practice using Cambridge 12 and 13 only.

Also for speaking, before the exam I wrote down and practiced over 20 cue card topics on a variety of subjects. It helped a lot during the test as several questions were about what I already practiced. I was just flowing and the examiner enjoyed the conversation we had.

I must say that the key to this exam is practice. Practice using Cambridge material. If you do well in the Cambridge tests you are bound to do well in the real exam.

In writing test, I started with task 2 and spent more time in task 2.

I also tried to proof read my work after writing.

Also, after writing, I used my eraser to clean and replace many key words with different but similar words in order to show the examiner my wide grammatical range. Please do this with caution ooo. Don't use any word that you are not sure about the spelling!

Appreciation:


I want to thank every member of this group and expecially wasseynewest. I was also part of his Whatsapp reading group before he moved Canada.
God bless him for his efforts.

What lies ahead:


I expect to get my ECA from IQAS next month ( I sent my doc's to them since April/May this year ).


I pray that the good Lord will continue to help each and every one of us at various stages of this journey IJN. Amen.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step."

bellong:
If it is same company, you can use the experience. You just need to rearrange your CV.

Ok.

Thanks.

Please I sent you a pm.

bellong:
The two years, is it pre or post-degree qualification?

It is post degree work experience.

The 2 years as a technician is the first job after nysc.

After the 2 years experience, the second experience ( 6 yrs ) is an engineer experience ( was a promotion in same company )

PLS gurus and elders in the house, I need the 8 years experience points in order to make up for my low points in age and get the 65 points needed for 189 subclass PR visa.

Now, my question is that I have an official 6 years experience as an engineer ( from my employment letter ), and 2 years experience as technician in the same engineering field, before becoming an engineer.

Would both the 2 years and the 6 years amount to the required 8 years needed to claim the maximum points for experience? Will engineers Australia accept a combination of both to amount to the 8 years required?

the link isn't going through. Any help?

Great news: The Canada Child Benefit is going up next Saturday! That means more money, tax-free, for moms and dads across the country to spend where you and your kids need it most.

Canada oh Canada...we can't wait to come, since our native land has no package for our kids.

You mean they will be released within few days or weeks ?

Anthonyo15:
PENDING RESULTS

Please be patient with the school. All non-examinable courses are assumed PENDING. These includes Projects, Teaching Practice, IT/SIWES etc...

Kindly wait for the release.

Thanks

Any hope that the PROJECT RESULTS would be released subsequently?

I just check now and my project results for about a year now hasn't been released.

I don't know why this school always delay in releasing project results?

Very saddening!!!

pyruvateluv:
Results have been released. Please did anyone see his project and gst 707 results as I can't see mine?

Many thanks Hanna007 and Monimatic for creating this new thread and thanks to all members of this thread.

You are doing a really good job.

Let's work together to make the most of this Canadian immigration route.

Whatever information that anyone has about the AIPP and RNIPP, let's keep sharing it here for the benefit of all.

Don't worry. We must surely enter Canada by God's grace.

Whether IQAS or ICES or IELTS likes it or not.

It's only a matter of time.

Daxbiz:
Thank you.

But these people slow sha, Still opening february envelopes?

Dem no know say person dey old??

Not even sure I will answer anyone who greets me happy birthday next month.

What's there to be happy about

Many thanks.

Just relax guys. IQAS grinds slowly but surely. Check my posts a few weeks back on this thread. Also check out this thread, it'll keep you informed amd help you predict when your ECA would be ready. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/iqas-eca-timeline-tracking.490054/page-383

I am exactly in the same situation with your bro.

They seem overwhelmed with too many applications.

I deeply regret using IQAS. I actually used them because my POF wasn't ready as at the time and thought I would get it ready before IQAS process the ECA with usual delays.

But now miraculously POF is no longer a problem, but it's now the ECA.

If I don't get any meaningful reply from them soon, I might consider doing another ECA using another assessing body.

Daxbiz:
IQAS is killing me!!!

Showing submitted since February, 2019.

School sent transcript and showing "delivered" on courier tracker since first week March

No communication, no change in status.

Aaaaarrghhhhhhh

Someone should please explain their timeline.

@TITILOLA88, you used IQAS?

Thank you.

What an amazing and well worded analysis!

@LadyMarshall, I think you qualify for professor of anthropology

I wonder how your PPR story would be.

I can't wait for it!

ladymarshall:
Hmm! Your question struck a very very deep nerve in me. Our sweet mothers!!! I was in the same shoes when I relocated to Western Europe.

1. If "easy" means having a powerful uncle or aunty that will get her jobs without merit, only just by submitting cv and lobbying, or having family and people around her do things for her with little effort on her part or getting people's mercy or pity, when you provide a sentimental story, or getting someone to help you pay bills when it is solely your responsibility to, then Canada will not be "easy".

If "easy" means working very hard for what you want and getting it on the basis of merit without nepotic connections, then Canada is "easy". If "easy" means earning a salary or doing business, paying your taxes and trusting the government to deliver good roads, rule of law, security, health system, in short a country that truly works, then Canada is easy.

If "easy" means doing adequate research on living in Canada, networking when necessary, applying diligently for jobs, patiently trusting in God to bless our efforts and eventually getting a good job, then Canada is "easy". If "easy" means what you put in the system is what you get out, then Canada is "easy".

If "easy" means escaping all of life problems, not falling sick at all, living forever, not working hard for money but becoming wealthy, just because she flies to abroad where white people are, then Canada is not easy, neither is Nigeria, neither is the world. So what exactly does mumsy mean by "easy" or "not easy"?

Apologies for the long story and clogging the page, but I really liked your question and I am passionate about women and girls issues, although I love men too so I gave my opinion with a passion

They do, but they have a lower IELTS bands requirement.

Federal Skilled Trades Program Canada requires a minimum of CLB 5 for speaking (5.0+) and listening (5.0+), and CLB 4 for reading (4.0+) and writing (4.0+).

Scandinavian02:
Do these FST guys write ielts too?

Big congratulations to you broh!!!

Your story is such an inspiration to many and will continue to be for many months to come.

I have stored your beautiful quote from Thomas Edison and it shall be part of my inspiration as I proceed in this the journey:

"Our greatness weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try, just one more time" - Thomas Edison

[s]To my dearest and wonderful e-fam, with great joy in my heart, I pick my golden pen from the basket of happiness to write you this announcement. Hope this meets you in good health? If so doxology.[/s]

It’s Prêt pour Visa guys! Mail came in at 11:22 PM last night. I was about to go to bed when I saw the mail. The speed at which I went from being sleepy to fully wide awake was 0 to 100 real quick.

A special thanks to EVERYONE for the best wishes and prayers . You guys said it. We just started Part 8 and from your mouths to God’s ears, it has happened beautifully.

Express Entry has got us with different stories to tell and it’s been one hell of a ride………a roller coaster ride indeed.

In another news, EE 117th draw has just been held and ITA has been sent to 500 eligible applicants, but this is for the Federal skilled trades candidates with CRS of 332.


Those finding it difficult to get a high CRS under the Federal skilled workers program, but are eligible for the Federal skilled trades EE program can start looking in that direction too.

Skilled work experience eligible for the Federal Skilled Trades Class falls under the following categories of Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC):

Major Group 72: Industrial, electrical and construction trades
Major Group 73: Maintenance and equipment operation trades
Major Group 82: Supervisors and technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture and related production
Major Group 92: Processing, manufacturing and utilities supervisors and central control operators
Minor Group 632: Chefs and cooks
Minor Group 633: Butchers and bakers

The Federal Skilled Trades Class is one of three economic-class immigration programs managed by the Express Entry system, with the other two being the Federal Skilled Worker Class and the Canadian Experience Class.


Candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker Class and Canadian Experience Class with experience in an eligible trade would have been considered in today’s draw if they declared their skilled trade experience and possess the required certificate of qualification OR offer of employment.

Interesting read about why a Nigerian earning 1M monthly left his job to relocate to Canada. The Canadian dream is worth it after all:

https://www.nairaland.com/5181425/nigerian-man-reveals-why-he

I love the bolded. What a determination!

You can do a short landing with family and come back to Naija if you don't want to stay and be visiting Canada from time to time to retain your PR status.

Big congratulations to you.

We shall all get the pally, no matter what!

PPR Post!!!

I specifically created a login just to post my PPR gist. I have been reading FOC since

Background: Been hearing about Canada migration since 2016, but didn't follow up because work was sweeting me. Then we had a massive layoff in our office in 2017 and even though I wasn't affected, it shook my soul. I decided in January 2018 that lai lai I will get Canada pally even if I don't use it.



Thats my PPR Story 9MONTHS AND 11DAYS. The Lord has Favored me indeed.
