Narrative
One thing that is for sure is that this whole process has been torture! This process has humbled me and thought me patience.
My journey started in 2019 with my mum hounding me to look into this process. I was still in school then and to be sincere I was not interested. All I wanted was to finish my MSc program and get a good paying job where ever I could (Nigeria not withstanding) I wanted to be close to as much family as I could be. Anywho fast forward to October after my dissertation my friend convinced. She wanted us to start at the same time and hold each other accountable. At that point my time in UK was coming to an end, so I decided to start with IELTS while waiting for my degree to come out. There was no harm in trying, right?
I entered the pool in May 2020 and that was when the wait truly started. At this point Nigeria and Covid had frustrated my life (still frustrating my life but thank God for this new opportunity). Fast forward to getting ITA. In my mind I had given myself 6 months to be in Canada, little did I know that covid was not yet done with us . During my wait I took the vaccine as soon as I could (didn’t want my village people playing with my destiny) I even took booster shot. I was not taking any chance. In February of 2022, my hope soared when I saw people getting ppr left right and center. I waited and waited for my turn but no news. More frustration . I took matters into my own hands and did an upfront medical but ircc was on a mission to exasperate my soul. I sent various webforms but no update on my portal. They now decided to one up themselves by asking me for remedicals. At this point I felt like my village people were working overtime. I was not in the country and had already spent so much money doing my upfront medical. I didn’t have it in me to do another so I just waited and trusted everything to God. I had proof of my upfront medical and raised webforms so I knew that even after the 30days timeframe they could not reject my application. I won’t lie and say that I wasn’t worried but what more could I do? At this point NSPPD was my mum’s resting place.
The golden email (as we all call it) came one random night. I was shocked. Didn’t even know that my medicals had been passed lol. I was confused because I only received an email and no update was made on my portal. After consulting you guys (Big shout out to @Allegory and @Dimple10; also @GraciousWords for creating this thread so beautifully ps: congratulations on your ppr) I submitted my passport. And now the wait is finally over!
Good luck to everyone. God will do it for you as well. 1 Like |

Education / Re: Form A Tuition Escalation. by Agnes22: 6:28pm On Jul 17, 2021 |
Samrichie: Fellow nairalanders, please I need your urgent help and advice on what seems to be an unending palava I have gotten myself into with my bank. Two weeks ago I submitted a filled Form A to Zenith bank with all the documents they requested for to make payment for my tuition abroad. Last Saturday I was sent a mail from the bank that my application has been escalated after I told them that the deadline was today. Again this morning, they sent another mail still insisting on the same escalation. Now my issue is getting my telex receipt to send to my school for Visa documents. Please if there is anyone here who has had similar experience on issues like this, or related ones. Kindly help me with any useful information on what step to take next. Thanks.
Have you been able to resolve this? |
