Timeline

IELTS 1- February 2018
IELTS 2- May 2018
Wifey IELTS- May 2018

At this point after the 2nd IELTS, I realized I needed to complete my post grad degree so as to evaluate my degrees as 2 or more, because with my WES evaluated BSC, CSR will max out at 430, at the time regular EE draws benched at 441. Fast forward to September, SINP revamped their entire PNP system. You now apply via the EOI system instead of the rat race called fastest fingers. Well, wifey’s occupation was in demand. We created an Expression of Interest with score 64. In 2 weeks, We got ITA to SINP. Well, wifey is very meticulous so she jejely packaged, employment offer letter, promotions, salary breakdown, pension, Tax clearance, salary account, a detailed reference letter with both HR and her direct supervisor’s contact details. Infact every and anything you can think of was included. My dear people...We submitted our application to SINP on Nov 2, 2018 and we were nominated Nov, 14 2018. It took SINP 13 days. I still think this is a record!!!

Medicals

Well, at this point we over 980points so ITA Na sure banker, we went ahead and did medicals. We chose IOM Abuja for our medicals. Everything was a breeze till I was told to pee into a container. My people I strained and strained not even a drop. The nurse was begging...Oga pls come out...drink water and try again. Hmmmm...that was how I almost finished the entire gallon on the water dispenser, when I finally peed, my urine was as translucent as water, I had my doubts. I thought the result was show I peed water not urine. Wifey was pregnant at this point, so a protective clothing was wrapped round her tummy for the X-ray. No issues there.

ITA 28 Nov 2018

SINP PNP application is so organized that it directly prepares you for post ITA. All the forms were already on file. So we just populated Post ITA forms and submitted December 3, 2019. But some reason my AOR reads December 4, don’t ask me..Ask CIC. For POF we used Tbills purchased on our joint account. We raised LOE explaining this and we both signed, we also attached the previous Tbills certificate purchased on the account, bank reference letter, account statement. Please note that this over Sabi for POF was almost our undoing. More on this later.

Medical passes/Biometrics
At this point, MEP took about 45 days. Our notification came January 16, and we used VFS Abuja for Biometrics.

Almighty Accra

22 January we raised CSE for VO. lo and behold, Almighty Accra...-My heart sunk. We were hoping for a speedy process so ewifey can have our baby in Canada. With Accra that hope was brutally dashed. I exited some EE groups and stopped visiting NL. I found the AVO group and followed them bumper to bumper. Those guys are the real MVP. Them dey try. My first shock was how they celebrate ADR in the group. You would think someone just collect the PR card...Those days were tough...I ordered for GCMS notes, guess what POF was flagged...POF RR...I was floored...turned out the officer got confused with all the previous certificates attached and all. We should have just attached the present certificate, we didn’t even need to attach account statement as they could always ask for them if need be. I dwill codes to wait for ADR from AVO.

New born addition

Our princess arrived safely in our hot Nigeria instead of cold canny as earlier envisaged�. We waited 10days then sent Accra a mail notifying them of our intention to add a dependent. Accra responded after 2 days (April 10)listing the pre-requisites and those must be met in 30days. Meanwhile passport office after capturing our princess then claimed no booklet...wahala...I bombarded them with calls and frequent visits. Those guys no bulge. Las Las after 2 weeks, a friend I met online made some calls and booklet appeared�. As I was about to submit that another ADR landed. Accra’s famous 6-salary acct, Updated POF, nomination very, schedule A, pay slips and family change. I hustled the ADR and submitted everything together May 1.

May 10, our baby was added to our application, May 17...Ghost update...May 22nd...PPR���

Our application was not perfect, but mercy found us... Everyone else still waiting... surely you will know joy soon...just hang in there...

Hello House. I have a B.Eng in metallurgical and materials engineering. However,I have worked in a bank for 4 yrs now. If I apply as an engineer, I will be doing so without job experience. I know this is possible. The link I have from this thread for CdR samples, I have been unable to access.

V.O- why did you choose Old Dominion university?
Me- During my research of American schools, according to National Science Foundation. ODU"s college of engineering has for the past 8 years been ranked amongst the America top 50. On further investigation, I realized ODU has state of the art science labs, academically sound professors, a lot of cutting edge research ongoing, friendly staff and a culturally diverse school community. At this point I knew I wanted to be a Monarch.

VO- why mechanical engineering?
Me- Mechanical engineering is the bedrock of engineering. It permeates all other Engr discipline. A mech engineer has working now ledge of computer app, materials science and prop, maths and physics. This jack of all trades attributes makes the mechanical engineer indispensable in the market.

VO- what will this degree do feel you?
Me- this degree will further improve my technical and analytical skills, my research capability will also be increased. This will help me find more opportunities and better prospects in the Nigerian market.

Glory be to God visa approved, 6:30 batch this morning. Transcripts coming shortly. tho am a silent follower but thanks everyone lagismyous, Texem... And Walspring, and Evey other people who have made positive impact on this thread God bless you.

Good morning guys. My visa interview is tomorrow in Abuja. I have butterflies already. However a quick one, do I have to print visa confirmation page in color or would black and white be just fine. Also remember the new confirmation page now has ur passport photo uploaded.

silentdude:


I studied MME as well, and I'm considering taking this exam. Can u please be kind enuf to give me more info abt your admssns. Is it that you're on a scholarship or self- sponsorship or graduate/research assistantship program.

I'm sorry and I don't mean to pry on you but I need some pointers. Thanks in advance for replying.

im so sorry, been really busy lately. Well, I'm not on sponsorship yet because I really did not try to get one. I can afford to pay fees at least for the 1st semester, for the 2nd semester funding is easily available depending on your rapport with your professors and English language proficiency. You shouldn't let anything deter you from your dreams, not even money. You should know once there is a will, there will always be a way. People of little mind will always find a reason not to excel. So my advise is do all the necessary test, apply like crazy, Source for fundings like crazy and hope for the best.

evsonlive:
that was a nice insight into the application process.. I want to apply to mechanical engineering, I am yet to take gre or toefl I had a cgpa of 3.54/5 undergrad in Metallurgical and Materials engineering. What advice do you have for me.. I am actually new to this post. I also intend to go through every page but I will like to hear from you thanks

i had a 3.51/5 GPA in MME. I have just been admitted to Old Dominion University VA, to study mechanical and aerospace Engr.

Hello House, today I got admitted to Old Dominion University, to study Mech Engr. However no funding has been offered yet. Still thinking about accepting the offer. Please can anyone help with any contact in ODU. Thnx

tensazangetsu:
Actually 3.0 on 4.0 is equivalent to 4.0 on 5.0. My school uses a 4.0 scale and most top schools I have written always want a minimum of a 3.0 but am in ghana anyway.

You are right, I have a 3.51/5 GPA and I applied to university of Idaho, the program needs a 3/4 GPA. I was denied. Denial reasons-No Faculty, No funding, Poor GPA. I was heart broken

klawaaa:
Hello, I am newbie here and i also want to secure admission for MSc Physics and i don't have GRE result, Pls, can I be admitted by any University in US. Please advise. thanks

hello, sorry it took me awhile to respond. Yes, certain universities can admit international students without GRE. However I would advice you write the GRE, as it would give you a better chance of securing admission and fuNding in the better schools.

lobito007:
Heart-broken! Got a rejection mail from univ of rhode island, Msc mech eng. So devastated right now, as it's the only school I have applied to. Now, I'm not even motivated to apply to any other. However, I cant imagine my dream of studying in the US forfeited. Cant just jump on any school's page now to apply. Suggestions on schools that are safe for my profile would be appreciated. GRE: 300, CGPA: 3.63/5.00.

sorry about the admission decision, however it's not the end of the world. You dust yourself and move on. Pls check wright state university Ohio. They have a pretty dope engineering program and your profile suits them just fine. Best of luck mate

Amen, seriously hoping for best of news.
