Hello Good morning,

Not sure if you’ve been answered. But you’ll get the answers to your questions on the express entry thread. Just search for it.

Or Joo please help with the “here” link lol (I don’t know how to do it).

Folafikemi:
So I called CIC this morning to determine the stage at which my application is after a quiet while (PNP) and I got the shocker. Was told the processing office is at ACCRA.

I was mute for a sec. Pls I want to know if my thinking is coordinated o. Thought PPR will first surface before getting involved with Accra VO and pls family what should I expect as I have heard lots of not so interesting story and delay about Accra VO. Thanks

Hi Claire. Sorry im just catching up.

So, Hubby is the Architect and he has decided to go the project management route. He and a friend who will be landing a few days before us.

So they’ve been studying here and are almost set to take the exam.

We can talk privately (e mail) to see how we can learn from each other or any other useful information needed to pass across. So we can hit the ground running (by Gods grace)

Claire18:
Finally! I am an Architect but yet to land. The process ain't easy for us per say. Unless to start as an architect technologist or graduate architect. I have started looking else where as We have soft skills in 2d,3d, and 4d graphics. And comparing them, the salary is also good. What progress have you made so far?

Ehhhh thank you Marshall! Our able script marker. I will take my extra jare. 1 small pack of chin chin for you when you land. Good job.

Lost track of the tbread in part 7. Didn’t even realize when oga Raph handed over to you.

Weldone to you, Joo, Topsmamen. God bless you all

ladymarshall:
@Demi007 Congratuations!!! It has ended in praise for you.

Score breakdown
Basics: 4
Details:2
Motivational value: 2

Total: 8/10

For being the last script for part 7, take 1 bonus mark.

For calling emeritus Prof Ralph out of his retirement (it is disrespectful to call out a veteran back to active duty like that) and for not acknowledging that power has changed hands I deduct 0.5 from your bonus mark

Final score: 8.5/10

All the best for you and yours in Canada

Amen in Jesus name. We are definitely all rooting for him!

Threemg:
What a journey. OH! GOD Please let this thread not pass my brother @Mcstan18 and everyone that's been waiting for quite a while. Can't wait to have you all at the sister thread and ultimately in Canada. GOD bless us all. Amen

Im now officially a part of this thread ☺️☺️☺️ Praise God.

Also dreading my 7 hour layover (frankfurt) with an infant in the weeks to come. Phew. Excited though

Decision to travel- I had wanted to go sinceeee (Since I knew about life �). But Mr wasn’t ready then. So, in December 2017 (when we experienced fuel scarcity, Mr got frustrated and decided it was time).

By this time, i had removed my mind from relocating and there was no ginger (I don’t like disappointments) so, i decided not to be involved in the process

ECA- March- there were slight issues as His school made a mistake or something of that sort. (I still wasn’t gingered so wasn’t exactly pressing for details)

IELTS- May- maxed out on his scores at once (i saw him practicing quite a few times. Still, I was just watching from afar) he maxed out and I was genuinely happy for him.
LSRW- 8, 7.5, 8.5, 7.5

Medicals- 03/09/2018 children’s practice Ikoyi. It was quite easy and straight forward. I was given something to wear because I was pregnant at the time (so all my worries were laid to rest)

PCC- we used inspector moshood. A breeze too.

Then suddenly, it hit me in about June or so or July I believe. (We had found out earlier that i was pregnant). My worry started when I thought I’d be the one to stall the process because I thought being pregnant meant I couldn’t do medicals. My search and all brought me to Nairaland and then i joined the thread in Part 5. Within a short time, i got soaked into the whole process where by i was eating, sleeping, breathing the Thread �.
Got so bad my colleague who’s also on this journey will tease me along side my husband that i should start my own agency oo. Lol that’s how much i got addicted to the thread.

In August, applied for Visa to go have our baby in Canada and was denied (God has a reason for everything) I wasn’t even phased knowing PPR was on its way

That same August, we entered the pool.

ITA- August 22. The excitement that day was like we had gotten PPR. We were at a friends place when i noticed the Mr’ face light up. Then he mouthed the words ITA to me. Heyy God it took everything in us not to jump up in excitement (these same friends too were on the journey oo lmao and we didn’t know too. Later we “confessed “ to each other. They’ve gotten PPR as well) you know how we are in Naija na. Coded until you’re sure.

POF- 100% gift deed (grateful to God for our families). We also shocked it with the Mr’ savings as well as pension funds (the GCMS notes hinted that they didn’t include the pension funds).

AOR- Sept 6

Also in September, We raised a CSE to notify IRCC that i had applied for visa and just been denied. Since when we were submitting our application, I said no for visa refusal to Canada (I hadn’t been refused then)

Then the long silence. We had prayed and planned that it’ll come through in October, and I’ll still be able to make it to Canada to have our baby. But I’m sure God was just looking at us like Yimu jor. Lol (man proposes and God disposes).

By December, still nothing. No IP2/Background check. At this point, i removed my mind from it and shifted most of my focus to our baby who was to come any moment.

1st/2nd week in December, the Mr ordered GCMS notes and the wait still continued. I knew our time to testify was close.

Had the baby in January. Still no word from IRCC. Raised CSE to notify them of our baby and immediately we were sent the form for additional family. Another race started again as we were given 30 days to add her. We had been in the hospital for a while (she was admitted) so we really couldn’t do much about adding her, other than filling the forms. My focus had shifted from PPR to my child.

But the Mr was still on course. We paid studio 24 to come and take the passport photograph in the hospital. They came and my God! What did we not try to get this girl to open her eyes? Ah we did ALL sorts all! She didn’t wake up oo. So we gave up. After we were discharged from the hospital, we went back to studio 24. Luckily, she was awake so we quickly took it. Infact they loved her so much there she had a mini photoshoot after. Lol.

At 10 days left to add her, we still hadn’t done medicals or collected her passport (there was also a mini drama at passport office to wake her up. Put cold water on her, she didn’t wake up oo. They threw her up multiple times and her eyes swung open lol. Sharply the guy took the picture). The man we paid to ensure we get passport in 2 days, messed us up. I was so upset. We didn’t get the passport till the following week. And without passport, no medicals. Finally we got her passport. Called Qlife to explain that we had less than 10days left to submit so, they found a slot for us thank God. Medicals was a breeze. And we submitted the application just in time. A few days after, status changed again to medicals passed.

And so the wait continued. Accra VO gang. Raised multiple CSEs asking for updates on our profile, got nothing. Messaged Ralph, got a generic response (thanks to those who ruined it for everyone oo). Raised another CSE towards the end of February and Accra finally responded saying our application was in Queue whatever that meant. I held on to God that PPR was on its way!

Ordered Gcms notes again last week in February. We had Passed the 6 months processing time on the 6th of March. Joined Accra Vo whatsapp group on the 14th of March. Finally got through to IRCC on the 15th of March. Again, they said our application was in queue for processing. Me, i was just listening to hubby like na them sabi last last Canada is sha our home lol.

Got ADR on the 21st of March. Looks like AVO was just dishing the stuff out. Meanwhile, they asked us for what we had already submitted when adding our baby to the application in February. We sha gathered documents again. There was now struggle with having to compress the documents to submit. Thanks to my ITA group fam. They helped a lot. Last last we were able to submit on the 27th of March. Mr Called IRCC sef on the 9th of April, they said its not them ooo, they don’t know that its all Accra. Lmao.

PPR 23rd April 2019

We were at the hospital for Immunization when it Dropped! My gosh. The feeling i had been anticipating, how i thought id react when it finally came, all went out the window. I was so excited. Chai the feeling is awesome

Finally, the one who was born in England, but never been there due to multiple visa denials. The one whose family is always in the US, but cannot go because visa denials too, is now a canadian PR!!! Look at God!

If you’re on this Journey and you have doubts, just cast your burdens and fears unto God. He makes all things beautiful in his time. You will hear so many stories about people being denied at different stages. Focus on God its not your portion

@Newmum, thank you for my troubles and worries. You really helped to put my mind at ease when i was almost freaking out. God bless you. And to the wonderful friends i made on our Aug ITA group, thanks for the words of encouragement and for he wait lol.

@Bimmsebony my Big sister girl! Thanks for all the numerous checks and words of encouragement. I appreciate you! ( See you soon!)

My fellow August 22 ITA group mates, I appreciate all of you as well as the wait wasn’t so easy yet, we stayed encouraging each other. We will all meet in our new land by His Grace. ��


Accra AVO gang. Thank you for all the prayers, Praises and Worship songs as well different Scriptures to encourage and uplift our spirits. Now AVO is on FIRE.


God is really awesome.
