PS: this just an inquisitive teenager who sees her parents driving around town gathering documents, seeing her mum talking to her laptop preparing for an exam. Ever since I was a child I loved going out of my comfort zone to find out abut something, that's what led me to looking for a website to get infos about what mum does, and then I found nairaland

Family of 5
So I learnt about my parents' plan for relocation in 2019 but I didn't do my research then, because it wasn't in top gear yet, 2019 was just for WES
So my mum sat for IELTS in December, I didn't really know much bit I kept on praying God should let my mum pass the exams as it would make her happy
Meanwhile, In November, something really tragic happened to us, some thugs came to destroy the house we lived in claiming "they won the case of the house" in court
My mum's result came out, it wasn't what she really expected I can't really remember but she used the results to check her CRS score, it stood at 395
(she's in her early 40s with a masters and PhD in view, my dad had a masters)
My dad's brother encouraged us to continue looking into pnp programs, so when my mum had done tons of research she found out about Manitoba, my dad isn't really that close to his cousin ( Yoruba family wahala) but he reached out to her she agreed with an open heart, at this point I thought about why my dad doesn't really talk to her , she's a pure angel, it was at this point I found nairaland, i was in ss2 then  ( I had found it before it before when I was doing an assignment but I didn't understand the page because it loads too slowly and I wasn't a patient person so I left it)
I came here to read gists as I was a story lover, when nobody posts anything I would go to part 9, part 8,.... to read ppr gists, landing gists and all
To be honest I learnt everything I know about PR on nairaland
When Manitoba eventually gave us LAA my mum wasn't ready because she has seen alot of cases of rejections, my dad's brother called and said  ( do you want to loose this opportunity as Manitoba just opened the family stream after stopping people from coming in through that stream since 2019)
My mum decided to accept oo after my dad persuaded her then GHAM! !!, she saw PROFILE INELIGIBLE staring at her in the face, panic mode activated, she went from one group to another to ask for enquiries, thank goodness Manitoba was lenient, we submitted, after submission we found out my mum made a mistake with the day my dad's cousin became a PR, we submitted an LOE, my mum would call me and say see RECIEVED ,MPNP applicants will under
On a fateful day oo that's how my dad recieved a call from a private number, my dad doesn't receive calls while driving o, but somehow he picked this one thinking it was his brother in the UK, to tell him he'll call back, because he's always busy and has little time to call my dad, then Lo and Behold it was from Manitoba , my dad was shaking as per oyinbo voice then this conversation ensued:
VO:This is ****** from Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
Dad: ok how can I help you
VO:this is regarding your application, your date of birth for me to be sure it's you
Dad : *****
VO: asked a question I couldn't hear because of the craziness on Nigerian roads, i was Scared to my bones, so was my mum
Dad : I'm driving right now can you call back?
VO: Why did you pick up the call in the first place  ( gen gen)
( deep down u trusted my dad would give her a good response)
Dad: I was expecting an important call
VO : OK then, is this time ok tomorrow
Dad : of course
The next day
VO called my dad answered well, we were scared that telling them about having a relative in another province would count against us bit it didn't,  the vo just asked why we chose manitoba over Alberta since my dad's brother was there ( again my daddy no dey disappoint)
Then we got one minor ADR to submit a clearer version of my dad's cousin's birth certificate
Around November or December  ( can't remember) My dad's cousin got a call from the VO
Amidst all these, my mum defended her thesis in August and did her convocation ion November after ASUU wahala
Then Boom!!! Nomination came in 7th December
ITA came 10th December
My mum's birthday was 12th December *talk about best birthday gift...*
We sef knew something has happened in our family the way, my mum bought surplus things ehn, to cap it all my mum's friends came to surprise us for her birthday, with her kids who are my age mates, we sha backed an almost  disastrous cake
POF wahala it was a lump sum, which was gotten from selling my dad's assets Manitoba accepted it (God's grace) but we didn't want to risk it, we were advised to put it in fixed deposit, which we did, and we'll still get interest sef
Let's just say this delayed our submission, se we submitted by January 30th
We didn't do upfront medicals, sometimes my mum would come to my room and start fantasising about how Canada will be for us, me that is looking for ways ppr will drop before WAEC starts
So BIL came on March 16th but we couldn't go immediately  ( I was writing my mock exams) that was when we thought we would be rejected we submitted ADR for IMM7455e via webform instead instead of on the placeholder in our profile, Thank goodness someone posted about it, but thank god a vo hasn't checked our profile ever since bil was issued, the space showed overdue but we were able to upload it still
we went on March 30th
April came people started receiving PPR  in 2022 groups ( ahh who say make we no do upfront medicals naa)
We booked for April 27th few days after my birthday, ( which I didn't like because I could have skipped blood test few days ago I don't like needles biko) after so much webforms and mails gotten from people from different groups we got a ghost update on EID UL FITR day ( day after fasting ended)
Then the second day another ghost update Medicals have been added to our profile, then on 20th May Medicals passed  ( celebration galore )
in our mind ppr should drop the next day (we called an agent, only security remaining to be passed,  medicals in progress )
week 1 went no ppr, week 2, we no see ( father lord, we dey here naa)
I KNOW WE SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED BECAUSE OF THE 2019, 2020 AND 2021 PEEPS, BUT THERE'S A FEELING WHEN YOUR AOR MATES ARE GETTING UPDATES AND YOU'RE STAGNANT, WE ALREADY HAD IT IN MIND THAT WE'LL JUST WAIT PATIENTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE OLDER AORS WAITING ( BUT IRCC fvvcked up) Issuance of ppr is meant to have a direction  ( we aren't supposed to be totally blinded with selfishness, we should be considerate, NO OFFENSE)
So fast forward to June 7th, another ghost update, we waited that night and didn't sleep (the whole family oo because at this point my brothers already knew what was going on since we went for medicals ) everyone fell asleep in the living room
Lo and Behold after a very tough exam(chemistry ), God knew I needed something to cool off, my dad just told me when he came to pick me after r the exams that PPR has dropped, my classmates were looking at me like after an exam that was so tough I was jubilating , I couldn't talk oo
Everyone wrote Jamb, me I no write it's only my best friend that knows  ( Order from my Nigerian parents )
Thank you everyone for all you do, I've never seen so many Nigerians come together, to help each other without knowing each other before in my entire life
thanks for all you do
it shall end in praise for all of us
PS :I didn't proof read o, no vex
I still have 3 papers to go before I finish my exams, so I just typed this in appreciation
Strongly waiting for FSW draws to resume, when there was still fsw draws, nairaland was really fun, testimonies upandan, banters everywhere
before IRCC give us breakfast
Sorry for the long post I'm a natural talkative

Good afternoon all

Please I need advice o

I'm married, and I entered the pool, but I put spouse not accompying to get a scores of 473. My spouse is not able to write the IELTS exam yet cos of delay in passport. If I choose for him to be accompying, my scores reduces to 454.

I read on quora that you can add spouse if the cutoff is around 453. Please is this true?

Would you rather advise I just wait, if adding him won't be that easy?

I'm reading responses.
Thanks

EsoEso:


By removing him it means she is claiming to be single instead of married. If she removes him how do she add him later? Won't that be misrepresentation? Except of course she plans to sponsor him later when PPR is approved

I think you guys should wait, add your husband and cross your fingers, if you decided to add his unaccompanied you will have to sponsor him later when you get to Canada which might take like 1 year to get approved

Omoniyimi12345:
Good morning,

I need advice please. I am in the pool as a primary applicant with CRS of 445. This is because my husband hasn’t done IELTS and his ECA is not out yet. When I removed him, my score was 475. Should I leave it as 475? If I do, will I be able to add my husband again after I get an ITA?

Dimple10:


Definitely representation because at the point of sponsoring him later, marriage certificate will come out and the question they will ask is why didn't you declare him earlier.

Funky123:
People like us wey IETLS don expire inside pool
E go be, I am nervous lol

I wish everyone here in pool good luck
