MY PPR STORY

First of all I am so grateful to the Almighty God! It was not an easy one.. I am not a woman of many words but I’l like to give back to the thread by sharing my journey.

PRE EXPRESS ENTRY
I heard about express entry from a colleague at work sometime in 2016, she told me how her brother and his wife migrated through the EE route to Canada, this immediately piqued my interest.
I discussed with my sister who lives in the US about Express Entry and she encouraged me to do some research on it, na so I enter google o! lol. While doing my findings I came across this awesome thread and started reading from part 1. The wealth of information I got made me more and more interested in EE. I had wanted to start the process then but one thing held me back— (My then Boyfriend, Now Hubby) Anyways, I was not ready to embark on the journey on my own and I wasn’t sure I could survive staying so far away from my man. So I hinted him about EE and he was really supportive of the idea but said he was not ready to leave the country yet! HMM.. he encouraged me to start the process, but I knew I didn’t want to go alone.. so I stalled and didn’t do anything about EE; giving oga time to rethink his decision. Meanwhile, I kept on following the thread and seeing more and more people get PPR got me more determined to do this.
Fast forward to 2017… I decided to start the process with the mindset that “what will be, will be”
TIMELINE:
IELTS – 10/11/17
ECA - 16/11/17
AOR- 22/6/18
MEP- 6/7/18
IP2 -- late July
Got married in August
ADR to add spouse-- 15/8/18
Submitted spouse docs -- 13/9/18
spouse UCI -- 14/9/18
1st Ghost Update - 26/10/18
ADR 2--- 10/1/19
2nd Ghost Update -- 7/3/19
PPR -- 8/3/19

ECA—I chose WES to do my ECA and it took forever for me to get my transcript from IMSU.. my cousin who stays in owerri had to go back and forth my uni before they sent to WES. (God bless her for me), it took about 3months in total to complete the process. Eca Report was ready on November 16, 2017

IELTS – while ECA was on-going, I registered and started preparing for ielts.. I concentrated more on writing and listening (especially map), materials I used were Ielts Liz, ielts mini and ielts advantage. Also watched a lot of youtube videos. IELTS result came out on November 10, 2017 -- LRWS –8.5,8,7.5,7.5

By the time WES report came on Nov 16th, 2017, I had missed the draw of November 15th, 2017 with cut off 439 …... My crs was 441 and the draws never came down to 441 till April 25th, 2018 ….I remember how disappointed I was whenever there was a draw but I was hopeful and it finally came down in April. Infact, I celebrated as if I received PPR on that day cos it took almost 5months waiting for ITA.

PCC – I did my PCC for 5k at alagbon with Inspector Moshood.

MEDICALS – I did my medicals at children’s practice, it was a horrible experience as the place was very rowdy with only 1 person attending to all the people there that day. I regretted using them and when it was time for hubby to do his, We chose Q-Life for him, he had a better experience than I did.

WORK REFERENCE - This was easy to get as my HR didn’t have any issues giving me a letter in CIC format.

POF – 70% of Pof was in fixed deposit with 30% balance as gift deed from my Dad, so I submitted investment letter from bank, Bank letter in CIC format, notarized gift deed, statement of account and 6months payslips.

After submitting my Application then the wait began, constant checking of my profile and hoping I’d have a speedy timeline, little did I know I was in for a long wait.
Anyways, My babe and I got married in August, I notified CIC the next week, no response from them, I had to send them reminders and raised CSEs till they finally responded giving us 30days to submit a list of forms, marriage cert, pcc,proof of relationship pics, questionnaires etc.
We put all the documents together as quickly as we could, provided lots of old pictures from when we started dating to trips we had taken together with family and friends to show our marriage wasn’t arrangee (babe and I have been together for 7years hence we had lots of proof. We submitted in September and then MORE silence.

On 10th the of October 2018, We ordered GCMS notes, we got a ghost update on the 26th of October and I started getting excited thinking PPR was close, for where! People were getting PPR left, right and center but it didn’t come near us o, hmm .. GCMS notes refused to come and we were in the dark not knowing what was going on with our application, then in November we decided to call CIC, it was hard getting to speak with any agent, we kept trying until it went through and I was given the shocker I had been dreading….. Our file was transferred to ACCRA VO and they didn’t have access to our file.. I was so sad after that call, knowing how Accra can be slow, I was moody for daysss guys, It was that bad, Hubby was quite confident that all was well.
By December we had completed 6months, hmm na so I begin bombard them with mails and CSEs, all we got were generic replies! It was so frustrating, all this while GCMS we ordered since October hadn’t arrived, followed up with GCMSbuddy and they kept responding that our notes had been marked as priority blablabla.. I was so upset at this time cos we couldn’t make any proper plans and everything was on hold.

January 10th I got a mail to check my account and it was ADR for spouse PCC and updated Schedule forms for both of us, I was happy, at least someone had picked up our file. Dear hubbs had to go to alagbon to re-do his PCC as the one we submitted earlier in September had exceeded 3months, we didn’t want to take chances.. we submitted ADR on the 13th of January and then silence again. Finally our GCMS notes came on the 25th of January since October.. I was sha relieved everything looked good.

Also in January, while waiting for PPR to come I decided to change my passport from maiden to my marital name so that my PR card won’t have different surname from hubby’s (personal decision tho), so I did passport change of name at Ikoyi for 45k, sent new passport to ACCRA with affidavit for change of name and they updated my profile to my marital name .

Lots of delayed June applications started getting cleared in February and when the thing nor reach me, I followed up with mails and CSEs again oo yet nothing, So I sent ACCRA a short emotional mail on the 6th of march, finally got visited by another ghost update on the 7th!! I was so sure PPR was around the corner and then Finally on the 8th of march, by 5:24pm I got an email to check my account.. I hurriedly Logged on and there it was sitting pretty!! The Golden mail!! I was ecstatic!
It Ended in Praise!!! Special thanks to the Almighty God for making my dream a reality!

Thank You to all you amazing people who take out your time to keep the thread alive! Thanks to the 2 amazing ladies who always responded to my mails @Glitteringstar and @Newmum0625 God bless You Guys!!

Passports were submitted today 11/3/19 at VFS.
I wish everyone waiting at any stage of your application a speedy timeline in Jesus name! Amen!

Hello Guys

Been reading for so long.

Just saw my IELTS first attempt. Result was bad. 7.5,6.5,6.5,6 . After inputting my data in the crs calculator, i got an ineligible message.

Now my moms cousin who is a citizen advised i can use her to claim family points as my aunty. Immediately i put that i was eligible because of the family tie. My CRS then boosted to 395, which is till very low from the trend.

Now my question is do i rewrite IELTS or go ahead and pray for a PNP nomination. ALso those who were PNP nominated how did you go about it because i see people writing this Exam so many times and it seems a stumbling block. Thou i would rewrite much later, what are my best chances. Please i would appreciate an experienced person to advice. Thanks

If a group, such as "The canada thread" is opened for people interested in Canada and we are going against a major pathway to d realization of such dream, then to me, that's bizarre.

More than 30 ielts takers has contacted me b'cos of my POST yesterday and they are in class already.

Only to find out it has been pulled down.......

I don't do my things for show offs but some1 has almost discouraged me from preaching my IELTS gospel. Which i considered my own little way of giving back to this beautiful community.

It's rather painful and sad.

Hello all
Please can anyone assist with the timelines for WES ECA?

I commenced my ECA process early in January; as at 11 February, WES had received all my documents (University transcript and WAEC requirements) and updated my status to "Your evaluation is in progress. You are not required to do anything at this time." It has now been this way for 11 days. I understand that WES will send my documents back to my school for verification. Please what status should I expect to see when WES sends to my school? Is it normal to take over 11 days after initially receiving my transcripts for my status to change?

I need to know when WES sends the credentials to my school so I can start following up with my contact there.
Thanks
