PPR Post!!!

I specifically created a login just to post my PPR gist. I have been reading FOC since

Background: Been hearing about Canada migration since 2016, but didn't follow up because work was sweeting me. Then we had a massive layoff in our office in 2017 and even though I wasn't affected, it shook my soul. I decided in January 2018 that lai lai I will get Canada pally even if I don't use it.

Genesis: January 2018, I started by opening a mutual funds account in my daughters name and moved all my savings into it. In February, I checked CRS calculator and realized that as PA, my husband didn't need to do anything and we would get a score of 451. Then I decided I would do Wes from March Salary, IELTS from April Salary and hopefully apply in July and get our pally before December (God laughed at my puny plans). All these stories, I didn't tell my husband oh. After all, he did not need to do chin chin.

Exodus: Started WES oh, didn't know that I did not need to verify Naija cert since I had foreign Masters. I started Uniben wahala, as usual "Madam, we don't have your transcript". I couldn't believe it, which transcript did you send to the school abroad when I did Masters, they were looking at me as if to say when you finish your confusion, you will sort it out. I sha paid about 30k and got it sent to WES within 6 weeks, meanwhile oyinbo school had sent to WES within 1 week. For IELTS, I got exam date of May 12th, aced first attempt with LWSR - 9,7.5,8,9. I was on a roll (or so I thought). Jumped into the pool in June and got ITA immediately by June 25th (ghen ghen!!!). At this point, hubby was aware and just watching me as if to say "well done oh".

Leveticus: I guess I didn't do thorough research, because part of my mind was still in Naija, getting promotions at work with salary increase. When all the placeholders appeared, I saw placeholders for 3 foreign police reports for hubby and I (Yepa!!!). I had to start that research, finally able to pay for it and they said it would take 3 weeks. I sha wanted to ensure I submit before the whole biometrics tingy would be implemented. So within that 3 weeks, I did naija police report, did medicals at IOM July 5th and started filling the forms. I am not a patient person, I wasn't thorough with filling the forms, I couldn't remember all the information of where I lived in the last 10yrs, bla bla. I was just filling my parents house address. Hubby could not remember his either, I was calling my inlaws to confirm stuff about him. Finally, everything was complete and POF sorted (a lot of garri was soaked to complete POF as entire months salaries were just being shook inside the mutual funds account).

Numbers: July 26th, I submitted application oh and started planning for December movement (God definitely was chuckling quite loudly at this point).

Deuteronomy: Medicals passed Aug 15th (3 weeks from AOR)

Joshua...Malachi (Sept - Dec): Dead Silence

Matthew (January): 6 months elapsing, raised CSE to find out Visa office and was told Accra. I just decided to forget it and started planning a vacation. I cannot comangoand kill myself. My friends asked what would happen if I were told to bring my passport while away, I Yimu'd them and continued my plans for Feb vacation. Even had the temerity to take from my POF to pay for ticket and accommodation (is it CIC's moneyrme).

Mark (February); Middle of vacation Feb 22nd, gba gam! I saw Accra Famous 5 request, I don't think anyone has completed POF the way I did. I swear down, my POF was back to 120% within 6hours from receiving the letter. I delayed though and didn't sent my response until I returned in March.

Luke....Jude (March - April): Silence, even though lots of people were celebrating PPR, I started fearing oh and criticizing my own application. In fact I told all my friends that we would be denied. I had already started calculating WES cost to convert hubby's foreign certificates as our scores would have dropped due to my age increasing and that would bring it back up, so we could reapply.

Revelation (May 7th 11:11am): donotreply@cic popped up on my browser and on logging in, finally finally finally. However we have been constrained to travel before medicals expires

Thats my PPR Story 9MONTHS AND 11DAYS. The Lord has Favored me indeed.
