I don’t know how to do all the bolded things you people do so please just take my write-up the way it comes, Secondly I’m going to be typing on my phone so please ignore any typos you see.

Decision to Travel:
This was late January 2018 when a colleague and friend told me he was dropping his resignation and relocating with his family, I started thinking of my daughter and unborn child and started pondering if Nigeria was the right place to raise them.

I heard about EE for the first time then and decided to try the CRS simulator and found out I’d get 443 because I had two B.Sc’s, This was in February 2018. Decided to pay for IELTS for my spouse and I and wrote the test in April.

IELTS
In as much as I appreciate this thread I’m actually glad I did not know about it until after my IELTS because as at the time of writing I didn’t know I had to max out the scores and if I had known about this thread I’d have been really worried.

I only practiced listening all through, practiced one test for reading and didn’t bother with writing and speaking. I was lucky enough to max out. It was after the test I realized the amount of Favour I had with the test. This was done with BC.

Wifey was heavily pregnant during the test and didn’t even bother practicing at all, it was a difficult pregnancy and she barely made it to the exam and taking it.

ECA
Used WES, didn’t know at the time that there were other evaluation bodies, only knew about BC for IELTS and WESfor ECA.

I was an unserious club boy during my university days so I graduated with a 3rd class after 7 years (A disappointment that later became a blessing) 2 years later I went back for another degree and graduated with a better grade. So with this I had 2 certificates. WES took 4 months because I had to evaluate my diploma, first bsc and second bsc.

Wifey’s bsc was out in about 3 months.

POF
I had some challenges with this because I’m one of those people who earn a lot and spends as much too. I work in an organization where you work hard and play harder.

Wifey had our second child 2 weeks post ITA so POF became higher. Eventually I used my savings, 85% gift deed from my dad, pension and gratuity.

I literally just lumped them all, didn’t put the exchange rate of the day, no breakdown tables nothing. Just loaded them all and decided to let them figure it out. Lol.

I had a scare with my POF because i submitted my 6 months payslip and a few months before, I took a 3m car loan from the office and I had it showing in my payslips, I’m not sure how this was calculated eventually.

JOB REFERENCE
Used the last 3 years in my latest job, Others were in personal history. Didn’t want any complications on this.

It was in CIC format and Newmum0615 helped also with confirming this. (Thank You). I also added my payslips, employment letter and work ID card to this. Pretty straightforward I might say.

MEDICALS
I had my medicals at Children’s practice. Had to take my newborn at 2 weeks old for his passport. This also was eventless. Booked ahead, I was really scared because I didn’t want anything to go wrong. I’m one of those people that gets really worried when I fall sick and start checking google which almost ends up giving myself an unnecessary heartattack.

Well thank God there weee no issues.

PCC
Used one inspector like that, paid 10k for my spouse and I and we were done with this in about an hour.

POST AOR
Shortly after AOR I got promoted at work, hmm I was just looking at them because whether they liked it or not I was going to leave eventually but it was all good though. So I settled into my new role which is pretty tasking and took a whole lot of my time.

I ordered GCMS in February and got it in 11 days, this was a big surprise and when I checked the only thing that was completed was information sharing, criminality was in progress while eligibility and security had not started. I was also shocked to see that the last time my file was touched was in November.

After biometrics I also found out that it never became completed like other, it continued showing my biometrics was nit received bla bla bla even though there was a biometrics number assigned. I raised a CSE and got a confirmation that it had been received so I relaxed.

I also raised a CSE on wifey’s passport because when we submitted she used the one that had her maiden name and we realized it was going to expire sometime in July and we wanted to have enough time to plan after PPR so we got a new passport with my surname and sent a LOE and affidavit with the new passport. This was acknowledged received although it never changed in my profile.

PPR
I used to check my profile once or twice weekly max. So on Sunday I decided to check because the last time I did that was the previous week and I saw that my application/profile was updated. Ran to wifey and told her PPR was coming.

Opened my profile and saw that biometrics had changed to completed. Then, I became a bit worried because I would have preferred to see nothing change and it would then have been defined as a proper ghost update. I started overthinking things like what if the update was just for biometrics and nothing else. Anyway I was a tad hopeful.

Next morning I couldn’t sleep as I was expecting PPR mail but nothing, same with Tuesday. Woke up yesterday and saw the mail sitting pretty in my mail, it had arrived at 12:55am. Funny thing is I had my phone beep but I was of the opinion that PPR mails only came between 4:30am to 5:30am don’t know why.

Well submitted our passports yesterday and a new chapter of our lives is beginning to unfold right in front of our eyes. Lest I forget immediately I saw the mail I look at my children and I smiled and almost cried with the excitement that they wouldn’t grow up in this country.

I want to thank everyone for the selfless contributions to the thread. I gained immensely from them even though I wasn’t able to contribute a lot myself. I read all the threads from part 1 even though I joined in maybe part 3 or 4 not sure anymore.

Thanks a bunch to ARCUGO as he answered my first question on this thread.

As it has ended in praise for me so shall it be for us all.

AMEN!!!!!!

Okay Bro!

johnnybravo1990:


It’s high time we fine who those have been silent, only for them to appear at ‘PPR’. Share your progress or experience with us as you proceed through the process. We could ask questions, and even learn from it. Take a leaf from Ifeoma77’s book. No one knows you here; are you scared you will be witch-hunted?

Okay Guys. It’s time for a silent brother to be added to the Part 7 Hall of Fame. It’s PPR!!

Will be back to give a detailed timeline.

Wow! This is great news. Congrats Ifeoma

Ifeoma77:
God is too good

PPR – Jan 15

True But I think it’s important we speak and write appropriately at all times, that way we will not be trying to defeat a monster (Exam) but it becomes inherent in us regardless of the circumstance or hurdle we face.

Ifeoma77:

You have a great point here. Although it should also be said that most people become conscious of these things during the exam. The way we write here might not be a true reflection of how we write during the exam

No idea

Queenette111:

Where is your visa office?

Help ooo!

Anybody with a view on this??

Kods1900:
Merry Christmas Everybody,

Quick question;

I am post ITA and I had my biometrics on the 21st of November and up till now it’s still showing “We have not received your fingerprints, Check your biometrics request message below” instead of completed.

However, scrolling downwards my profile shows the date of biometrics completion and expiration.

Should I be worried? cos others I’ve seen have theirs as completed.

Same situation with you. Just raised a CSE yesterday with another passport changing her name.

Uchihasasuke19:


I'm post AOR and my wife used her Maiden name for the application. Should we do another passport and raise a CSE to change her name.. Or is it something that we can easily do when we get to Canny land

Thanks.

dumprep:
Employment.

Hello Guys,

Please filling personal history, under what activity type does NYSC go?

Is it Employment or Government cos I seem to be stuck here.

Everybody will be provided with personal headsets. Fret not.

Adunnee:
Hi everyone. For those of us having IELTS Speaking exam today, I pray God grants us favour and crowns our efforts with success.

Meanwhile, I got a second email saying that the venue has been changed to Colonnades Hotel. Is this how they do?

Who has written LRW in Classique Events Centre in Oregun, Lagos? Did BC provide each Candidate with headphones or a central speaker was used for listening?

If you haven’t contacted IOM Ikeja. Do that and beg them you should get an earlier date.

bests:
Good morning fam,

Please there seems to be huge backlog with medical bookings in the approved hospitals. On contacting (2 out 3 recommended) was told the whole month is filled and will have to wait till mid October.

Any way around this hiccup please?

For EE; No! Has to be a sibling or parent.

gbengaolu360:
Hello house, my wife is the primary applicant but I plan to use my uncle as a relative living in Canada. I and my Uncle share the same surname. Is it allowed ?

Passports that aren’t even necessary for anything in the first place.

They even kept rejecting the scanned copy of the passport claiming it wasn’t clear until I had to send someone to take a physical copy to them.

Nancyeliot:
I wish some school officers are a part of this thread to read how disappointing some of their systems look from the outside.

I was shocked too.

[quote author=Newmum0615 post=71303861][/quote]

They can be really annoying. Are you male or female?

If male, They will also require a passport photo from you and insist you put on a tie in it.

You’ll also need to write a letter apart from that from WES requesting for your transcript.


Hope this helps.

Iyamarun:
Please who has gotten transcripts from lead City University Ibadan for wes? Sent someone to help with it cos I'm far away,
but she couldn't get it done so I will have to travel down. Pls Na who I go see for the school? Edakun epp me

If you’re post ITA and you haven’t scheduled an appointment for your upfront medical exam, I suggest you do that today (For Lagos only).

Next available date for;

Q-Life is 23rd of Oct

Children’s Practice is 10th of Oct

And IOM is 3rd of Oct.

Thanks.

fmsimple:
Soft copies available on request, I think its N1,500.

Hello House,

Please I need an advice.

When taking family pictures with Studio 24, Do I request for soft copies also or would a scan of the hard copies suffice?

Okay Thanks.

Ifeoma77:
No idea O. Maybe just send an email for now and try again on Monday
