ChyG:
Yaaayyyy congratulations Osaze007, Nairaland's Singles representative. I'm happy for you! Go and excel in your new country

hahahaha...as in ehn.

we the singles are even happier than him sef.

finally our representative have gotten PPR...increasing hope for us

Osaze007:
It has ended in PRAAAAIIIIIIIISSEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MY PPR IS OUT
I CANNOT BELIVE IT
I ALREADY BOUGHT MY TICKET TO Nigeria FOR 25th this MONTH
BUT THE GOD I SERVE SAID NO OSAZE YOU MUST FLY TO CANADA STRAIGHT

I SERVE A LIVING GOD
SOMEBODY SHOUT HALLELUYAH & ALLAH AKBAR

**dancing skelewu**

korede12345:
hello @ onebase ..I wish to join you as common law partner. that will increase the chance of increasing crs scores. ..

hahahahaha see what i caused now.

i said it, the ministry is really moving.
two is better than one.

SideChic:
I’m single oo

hahaha...the ministry is moving. Y'all singles better start coming out of hiding o

Torkwase1:
Lol!!! This is my Mum's biggest problem with my immigration dream. Will I find husband in Canada?. Well let's get there first, God will provide for all the searchers

hahaha...mommy mommy. they don't joke with issues like that.

well Amen to that oo.

if worse comes to worst na to organize nairaland singles party over there in Canada, and literally assign partners to each other; D

Osaze007:
Our singles will come soon most singles na 6-8 months o so patience

lolz...exactly.

What then is the point of applying single?
As far as i am concerned there is no difference in POF for singles and couples, and you get to have speedy PPR processing.
plus it is much easier to start life as a couple over there, since there will be two sources of income for almost the same expenses.

Then in a country about ten times the size of Nigeria but with a population of just 32 milion...goodluck finding a partner on time.


I think i have to triple my search.
Any single in the house ready to mingle should PM me jor...let's start our destiny from here.

smile4erie:
pls what is the cost of transcript from ABU

a 100USD for internationals last time i checked in May.

Rapture07:

Finally!.

CRS: 474

ITA: Dec 10, 2017

AOR: Jan 10, 2018

MEP: Jan 23, 2018

IP1:  Jan 23, 2018

NA2: Jan 27, 2018

IP2: Feb 27, 2018 (IP2 General Glitch Day)

ADR: June 28, 2018

Ghost Update: July 05, 2018

 *PPR: July 06, 2018* 

VO: London


Just a brief highlight: 

POF - Gift Deed (50%), 3 months statement of Dorm account and 6months statement of Naira Account (50%). I got a reference letter from Fcmb but not in the IRCC format as the lady said no before I could ask...lol.


ECA - I made a mistake earlier but by God's grace,  it was corrected before my file assessment began. I started my document evaluation with IQAS on 31st July 2017, sent my Bsc only and got acknowledgment on the 5th of September and after that i came across a post tslking sbout 2 or certificates. So i contacted IQAS and after several pleas, they agreed that i send another certificate while my file will be put on hold until they receive the new documents. After several challenges encountered in the school, my documents got to IQAS on september 26th. Received new acknowledgement October 25th and ECA arrived exactly 25mins after i made my ielts. 

 *Conclusion: Two or more certificates* .


IELTS - Listening humbled me big time but in all I give thanks to God and my sweet boo who after every attempt was so encouraging and prayerful. My attempts below;


Aug. 19 2017 - 1st Attempt

Sep. 30 2017 - 2nd Attempt

Oct. 28 2017 - 3rd Attempt

 *Dec. 2 2017 - 4th Attempt: L8.5, R8.0, W7.5, S8.0 (Final Attempt)* 



Special salute to God, and to all the e-folks here for the amazing assistance and support you all rendered to me. It will surely end in praise for all!

Amen.

Ah!!!...another grandmaster just landed ppr.

CONGRATULATIONS MA

Dappydappa:
So, I shared this long epistle on the 6th of April, 2018.

Hey mate, it's ok to cry but make sure you get up, dust ur ass and do the exam again. However, I suggest you do not attempt a re-evaluation. They will just take ur money and give same results. Lemme share my IELTS journey with you.

1st attempt.....5.5, 5.5, 7.0, 7.0
2nd attempt....6.0, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5
3rd attempt.....6.0, 5.5, 7.5, 7.0
4th attempt.....7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.0
5th attempt.....6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5
6th attempt.....8.5, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5
7th attempt.....9, 7.0, 6.5, 8.0
8th attempt.....9, 8.5, 7.0, 7.0.

Note that where I live, the BC IELTS test is about 110k, re-evaluation is 63k and I spend a minimum of 150k for each of these attempts. IELTS humbled me but I eventually conquered.

For the listening practice, I wish I had stumbled into IELTS-mentor.com prior to my 6th attempt. You should definitely use this website and, attempt finishing the listening practice tests. There are about 14 of them. The answer section will show/tell you all that you had done wrongly in the previous exams. At the point where it says "you have sometime to look at your answers" during the listening test, kindly move on to next session if you have nothing to look at. That's actually the trick to have a headstart.
(Pls, don't apply for another exam unless you start to score 37 and above in the listening practice).

Also follow Jay on E2 language (YouTube) or his blog if you have money and don't mind paying for his teaching classes (I didn't). He is quite resourceful in reading, writing and speaking. Always write your answers (listening) in block (capital) letters.

Finally, do not stay down. It's okay to fail, weep, cry and feel devastated but, make sure you don't stay down. Get up, dust ur ass and always remember that it's only IELTS that is stopping you from getting your MAPPLE card.

***Shout outs to Gliterringstar and Amoese. I don't know how to thank you guys.

This news has been much awaited.

deesmama:
Mile 12.

but why??

Elfmannisback:
I don't understand. Whose was N271?

i meant that's the standard exchange rate online.

yet the are still charging 291/$.

with the new exchange rates, the most banks should be charging is 280/$, but so far i don't think any bank is complying with that.

Elfmannisback:
GTB?

Nah...FirstBank

phf2be:
It came to 291.45/CAD

came to??
those thieves!...that's the old exchnge rate.

new rates are #271 to a dollar...the most they should charge is #280.

tnks for d info

phf2be:
I used a FirstBank Mastercard (debit).

pls how much were you charged per dollar?
has the new exchange rates being effected yet?

And some He-diots and She-diots keep thinking there is hope for this Godforsaken country.

One rare opportunity to develop our brightest young minds so they can come paveway for the much awaited technological breakthrough, and they blew it.

doppler06:
Pharmacists in the house, I'm trying to help another with the process and I have gone to read the English for pharmacists on pg 0.

2 questions:
- Can the document evaluation be applied for alone without applying for the evaluating exams??
- The PEBC website says ""PEBC will generate an ECA Report which will be mailed directly to the candidate. It is the candidate’s responsibility to submit the ECA Report to CIC""....
Does it mean that they would not send any additional copies to CIC and you would have to wait for when the hard copy report arrives before you enter pool (as in no soft copy at all)??

The money for pharmacy evaluation is not a beans mehn

yeah, you can apply for evaluation without the exam.

i really don't know if they send soft copies...will leave that for the seniors to answer.

i tell you man, that money for ECA no be here.

the only consolation is that every penny spent on this journey is entirely worth it

BlessedHeights:
Bro, he said no. Said it is stressful. I'm just worried about you guys using ETX what with all the complaints from the South-West users. I sincerely hope and pray for a way out for you and @Gracemama.

thanks man. i appreciate your efforts.

BlessedHeights:
Hello @Gracemama. Been offline. @YoungRx asked too, days back. @YoungRx, abeg no vex. I have sent my contact messages via FB messenger. Currently awaiting his feedback.

Gracemama:
Okay. Thanks
Pls when you finally go can you just help find out if they issue transcript for IJMB.

I sure will

geez!...has anyone observed the latest candidates in the pool??
no wonder there was no draw last Wednesday. alot of 430s would have clinched ITA.

pxjosh:
@YoungRx

lolz...had to shout out o.
one of the greatest misfortune that can befall anyone in this PR journey is to be a loner with no one to relate to.

Gracemama:

Cc: @youngRX
