Hello All,
When you apply for your PR on Express entry inside canada.

How long does it take to get BIL and Medicals after AOR,
And when application is approved do you also get PPR or what documents is issued? To show your application is approved.
Is there anyone that went through this route that can explain the detailed steps from AOR

Hello House,
For someone with 600points from PNP added to his FSW express entry score,
Living in canada and working on open work permit,
when invited to apply for PR,
Do you also show proof of funds?
Has anyone been in this route before and got his PR

Hello guys,
How do one show POF for someone working in canada on open work permit.
Or whats the best way to show the POF?

Hello Guys,
Whats the fastest method to stamp passport after PPR.
I reside in ibadan.

Hello Guys,
Please when eligibility is stating completed on tracker for about 7 days now and PPR has not drop, does it mean Approval or otherwise?

How long does it take for PPR to drop after eligibility is stated completed on tracker.

The biometric is 10years.
Its a first time application.
So can i go ahead and apply for the new 10 years passport
Will i be given 10years visa?

Levels1:



Length (Years) on your biometric determine the Visa you will be giving. Remember biometric is only valid for 10years starting from the day you did it..

Meaning if your biometric remains 2 years to expire and you deliberately submit 10 years passport, you will still be giving 2years Visa..

Hello Guys,
Please can one submit a new passport different from the one you applied it.
I applied with a passport with 4 years validity and got PPR.
Before i submit passport for visa stamping, i will like to quickly go do another new passport that will be 10years.
When I submit this new 10years passport Will the visa carry this 10years validity or not?

Yes the money was in my account.
I didn't remember to mention
She is doing her second Masters here in Canada.
Same masters course she did in Nigeria.
She explained that when she went through the courses in Canada and compared to Nigeria, the gap was too much and that our sylabus here is obsolete and our lecturers keep repeating the obsolete sylabus that she want to change that system on coming back.

gideon19:

Congratulations once again.

Just to be clear, the money is in your account but still had to write a letter of sponsorship since both of you will be traveling together?

THIS IS A VERY LONG POST. I TRIED TO PUT IT TOGETHER WITHOUT ERRORS AND TOOK ME SOME DAYS TO WRITE IT.

Long post alert,
PPR and landing gist.
First of all,
Grateful to Almighty God to be able to write this because each time I open this thread and see PPRs I always look forward to the day I will also write mine and someone who is reading this will surely get PPR.
I am a strong believer of God and I can say my application was 100 percent on GOD.
Also I want to thank the guys here contributing and shedding lights, God Continually bless you guys.

First time Applicant
Family of Three,
Wife on study,
Husband on SOWP
9 months Daughter on Visit permit.

Me and my wife are both in Express Entry pool since September 2022 and wife score is 463
Mine was lower.

We were hoping the score will drop but when it got to 480 it went up back.

We didn't want to take chances based on Nigeria instability and we decided to try study.

Upfront Medicals September 2022.
Application Submitted 18th April 2023.
Wife biometrics drop 19th april,
Husband biometrics drop 20th april
We both booked Biometrics for 25th April, paid for premium lounge at VFS Lekki and we were able to capture quick.

THEN THE LONG WAIT,
This is the longest wait of our lives.
Wife medical passed 8th May,Eligibility started day.
Husband eligibility started 9th May
Medicals passed 9th May.

On status tracker
Eligibility and medicals completed for both.
Then we started waiting ooo,
A little later
Eligibility for my daughter started, and I was like what are they checking in an innocent 6months old.

After 6weeks of application we started sending emails and webform to IRCC daily,
We didn't let IRCC rest
I mandated my wife to send at least webform and email twice daily.
Infact we still got a reply to some of our webform we sent in June few days back.
It was plenty disturbance on them.

Fast forward to July 14
The Golden mail dropped.

JULY 14 PPR dropped for me and wife but medical request for our daughter,
I was happy/ angry that why will IRCC request for medicals because we were not asked to submit medicals for her in the pre application questionnaire, i was not understanding why ircc will request her Medicals, but I think getting here I came to understand that she's a special visitor because she got her visit permit at the port of entry, so I guess it's because she will be staying longer than 6months in Canada she will be mandated to do medicals.

Resumption is September 5.

Now to the struggle of how to get the Medicals done to getting her ppr and traveling together as family before September 5th.
It was alot on me sincerely. At the same time I was also planning to book flight and everyday, flight was getting expensive and expensive. Told my wife to go to iom and qlife and gate crash to see if we can do the medicals on the spot.
Told her to see and sort anyone any amount just to get it done, after series of begging and begging the earliest date for iom was july 28,
We proceeded to qlife and started looking for how to gate crash and do it as well, but after series of begging and begging and also sorting a staff 30k we were able to get July 21st appointment date.
We did medicals and started begging qlife to send results to IRCC.
They kept telling us it takes 5-10 business days.
The medicals was just a check on the baby and no blood sample was taken I was telling them since they are not culturing or testing any sample they should just forward the result to IRCC.
They no gree o
Until the after 5 business days when we called and a reasonable customer service agent picked the call, narrated the whole situation to her and she promised to push it to be forwarded.
While disturbing qilife we were also sending emails and webform to IRCC informing them we have done medicals and they should release our daughter ppr.

July 29th medical passed for daughter.

August 1st PPR dropped.

We parents sent our passport through UPS to vfs Lekki on July 20th and got email to pick up exactly 10 working days.
Sent my daughter passport through UPS to vfs abuja, paid transmission fee because she didn't do biometrics, paid for return courier fee and SMS fee. We didn't get any sms only email.

We book our flight of 4.5m for the three of us on july 25 and to travel September 6 o, very expensive!.
Let me quickly say this if you are tall like me, 1.86m, I will advise you not to book normal seat for a long journey like that. Better you pick a seat in front of demarcation where u can spread your legs..
We could not get straight flight to prince George in BC, so we only got flight from Lagos to Vancouver.
Then I book separate with Air Canada from Vancouver to prince George. About 500$ with insurance.
First flight took off at 1.40pm and landed Addis Ababa around 8pm then we were carried by bus to where we will connect our next flight from ADD to Toronto.
Ethiopian airline didnt transfer our luggage at Toronto we had to do that ourselves which was very stressful.
When we landed Toronto we saw a signpost saying new students, we lined up and was taken to where new students will get their study permit. Because we had an infant we where at the front, we were showed the self declaring machine which we input our details and a ticket print out. Took the ticket and proceeded to two border officer desk to collect our permits.
The officers searched for her name but couldn't see it because the name on her visa is her maiden name and that was because we opened the GC key account last year with her maiden name and all her documents then was in her maiden name. She asked us to sit down and the officer took our receipt and proceeded to do a system check and was nodding while checking, then she came to us and handed over her study permit bearing her maiden name to us.
She then directed us to go downstairs to get my work permit and visitor permit for our daughter.
But for the other students after collecting the print out, they will go to the next desk to get their study permit then line up to see the border officer who will ask them questions before he stamps their passport for entry. I saw where one officer asked a student to show him something on his phone, probably maybe he asked for his bank account balance I guess.
So we proceeded downstairs to and met a long queue of work permit / visit entry. It got to our turn and the border officer asked us while we were here so I told him my wife is here to study while I'm on open work permit and my daughter on visit visa, so he said my wife already got her study permit and we should just submit her study permit while mine and daughter passport alone. He didn't know my wife passport was not stamped yet. He asked us to sit and wait while he works on on the work permit after a while he called my name and then boom he has printed my work permit and also stamped our passports, but my wife quickly told him her passport as not been stamped so he requested for her passport and study permit again and then stamped it.
So I think God orchestrated it this way cos we only paid 4k out of 18k tuition and we were worried not to be asked at the POE for proof of funds even though we did globus POF for one week o.

So we joined our connecting flight to Vancouver, got to Vancouver and boarded our last flight.
Guys I must say Canada is very fine and even the city we are is so fine, there are a lot of opportunities for work, especially if your technically inclined, you go see work tire.
Please I beg you reading this, if you considering or contemplating to come to Canada, pls decide now and come fast, this is a good place to be, the system is working.
I am here now and I can categorically state that you will never regret spending all your life savings to land here.

Good day house,
I am In Canada on SOWP and I have Bachelors degree in Engineering.
What can I do to increase my level of education points for my EE profile.
Thanks

My wife(student) is in express entry pool,
Me husband also in express entry pool.
She got her study permit while I got my SOWP.
We were also thinking of withdrawing our EE profile when we wanted to submit our study permit, but we just left it like that and we didn't want to make it look like we deleted the EE because of the study permit

lois2016:
Hello everyone, please I intend to apply for sowp and visitor’s visa for my baby. However I am currently in the express entry pool, do I need to delete my express entry profile so it doesn’t count as double intent?
Secondly the Pof I intend to use is mutual funds account which is a joint account with my husband and also my husband’s bank statement. Will this be okay or should I redeem the funds in the joint account to my personal salary account. Is it advisable to use our four mutual fund statements, or i should redeem from three and collapse into one. The investment accounts are funded monthly from our salary account. Please advise.

Good day house,
I want to ask about Port of Entry.
Family of 3
Wife: student
Husband: sowp

Family is traveling together.

Thanks

Hello house,
This is somehow related and I want to share my experience with British council IELTS.
I believe this might help someone.
So I sat for IELTS GT computer based sometimes in September 2022. This was my second sitting.
I had LSRW 6 6.5 7.5 6 In my first writing and decided to improve my score by resitting.
I prepared well and I was confidence about it that I will get a more good result.
When it was past the normal 5 working days I didn't get my result, I mailed British council about my result and they responded that they have withheld it for investigation purpose.
Was told to write a statement and explanation about the exam, which I did.
Expecting a positive feedback.
I was calling their customer care line everyday to release my result but they keep saying they can't influence the investigation process.
From September till April 2023, no update.
That same april I was just thinking about what to do, so I decided to check for British Council head office contact details on Google but couldn't see to find any but saw the contact of British council Manchester so I put a call through and narrated the back and forth with British council Nigeria seizing my results.
The agent asked me to copy her in the mail trails between me and British council Nigeria so she can escalate it.
Immediately after the call I did that.
In less than 3 days
Lo and behold,
British council Nigeria called me that they want to deliver my result.


I was now even feeling fly instructing themwhen I will be available to receive my result.
The result came out far better than the previous sitting because I got 9 and 8.5 in two bands, so I guess they were doubting my ability.

The TRF carried April Date.

This just shows how we are being treated as Nigerians in our own country.

I hope this helps someone out there
