Please oo, URGENTLY in need of an accommodation (temporary or permanent) in London, Ontario. Airbnb has not really been working for me right now. I am landing 2nd week in May. Any assistance will really be appreciated. Thanks.

Morning bro. Kindly check your pm. Very urgent.

Naijaforeigner:

Ontario dey fine, exams period. PM sent.

I think you shouldn't worry and ppr coming soon. It usually take about a month after you summit ADR to get ppr for AVO.

Krakboi:
Hello good people of the thread.
Any September AOR here? Mine was September 9th to be precise.
I've had 3 Additional Document Requests, the last one was on the 21st of last month requesting for updated POF documentation and updated Payslips.
This request was from Accra Visa Office this time.
The 6 months processing time has finally elapsed today.
Who is this boat too? Man don de dey worried o

We are indeed grateful to the Lord that rules in the affairs of men. And that is why when the world say "No" we declare that we have a "Yahweh" who is a specialist in impossibility.

DECISION TO TRAVEL:
We decided after our marriage in late 2017 that we wanted to take this "migrating out of the country" seriously. We had earlier tried study route but really didn't work out, so we decided to try PR route. I did the first Ielts with Australia PR in mind but as God will have it I met a friend at the centre who introduced me to Nairaland and told me the Canada PR route is faster and easier.

IELTS:
I had already done academic ielts like twice so I was not totally new to ielts. Practised with Liz ielts material online and bought British Council practise book. After the first attempt I focused on writing and the listening for the second attempt.

ECA:
ASUU strike of 2017/2018 really delayed us but we were lucky with Wes and a contact in our school that made it fast.

POF:
Personal saving 60% Gift Deed 40% of POF deposited to my account 2weeks before submission (AOR) from my dad. I also submitted wify bank statement to serve as a buffer. In submitting POF, I did a LOE with a table analyzing the attached documents which were notarized gift deed, transfer slip, bank statement and screenshot of exchange rate from xe.com.
Fast-forward to Jan 2019, I transferred a bulk of about half of POF to Wify's account and she transferred it back the next day we got ADR mail. Guess it didn't raise any flag though as we added a well detailed LOE for it.

JOB REFERENCE:
Luckily, I have worked with the same company from 2013 to date, so I got reference letter in CIC format.

MEDICALS:
Medicals done at Children’s practice.

After AOR: When I got the Job mail on 4th Sept I literally told wify to " fasten your seat belt" its going to be a bumpy ride. I thought our file has been transferred to LVO as that was the prevailing pattern then. So we were not expecting update until about 5-6months. Her Passport was already less than 6months by Jan. 2019, immediately we decided to renew the passport and it was uploaded on 4th Jan 2019. I got an acknowledgement mail stating our file was in Accra and the passport updated.

I was shocked! Shocked at the fact that our file was in the dreaded AVO as a lot of plans were going on, thinking we could move in January hopefully. But the wait continued. When our file was exactly 6months, I mailed AVO and Ralph but no reply. Also, I called the phone lines but nothing concrete came out. I then raise CSE on 18th Feb to AVO and surprisingly ADR came 3days later. We submitted then the wait continued.........



PPR:
Randomly I checked my profile as usual and suddenly on 3rd April and noticed status has changed to "Profile updated", then moved to Ip2. At around 11am the next day, 4th April, I saw a mail and Lo and behold it was the Golden PPR mail after 8 months and 8 days. Finally It ended in Praise.

I am indeed grateful to this thread and everyone for the contribution and advice. This thread supplied me with all the information i used.

The Eagle has Landed guys!!!!!!!!
AVO. Coming back with details. It's PPR.....

Good evening, can anyone please share any other number to call IRCC on? I have been trying on the +16139444000 and I have not been able to speak to any agent. Please help.

stanzee:
Hello Guys, Good Afternoon, I’m almost 5 months post AOR, VO- Ottawa & After Biometrics, there’s been no change at all on my online profile, so I called IRCC and the lady said criminality, security checks & background checks are in progress that they’ll probably get to me before May, but it may take longer� does it mean they haven’t started with my file? �

AVO famous 5 ADR. Payslips, Bank Statement showing salary deposits, Proof of Funds, Schedule A and Additional family information forms. Does not usually apply to every applicant though.

cmaamaa:


Please what is the famous 5 ADR?

Yes. Submitted famous 5 ADR on Feb 27th

AmeComplique:
I'm keeping the faith! We will all rejoice very very soon.

I hope you've gotten the Additional document request.

It is well, I know how you feel. We are hoping for God's intervention this month. Our file also in Accra,8months. Keep the faith. Cheers.

AmeComplique:

Congratulations to you and yours. Lines fall in places for you. Cheers

Where I go start from?

Timeline:
Decision to travel: August 2017
Ielts: December 2, 2018.

My babe got better IELTS scores, so we decided she should be the PA. Getting her ECA done was another hurdle on its own. Finally, it was ready and into the pool we went.

Finally, this bright sunny ☀️ morning, we woke up to see PPR sitting pretty in our mail. Looking like a beauty queen.

I believe you should write the LOE and upload it attached to the ADR section you want to explain in details to the VO. I attached my LOE on bank statement as the first page section. I hope this is still useful.

Xbature:
Dear House,
Congratulations to the PPR in the house, and for we the rest ours too will come

Thanks for all the responses to my questions. One more though. Please if you have submitted ADR before i need your guidiance here. If the ADRs are that you upload Schedule A and Additional Family Info for both PA and Spouse, POF and you want to do LOE due to some things you feel like explaining, is it the link provided in the letter that is advisable to follow(NB this one is just 3.5MB o) or go to the profile page and upload since that contains different field to be uploaded into. This is an emergency o, i just want to give them what they are asking shapaly.

Thanks

Good evening guys. Urgent help needed. Accra visa office send Adr for updated bank statement, Schedule A and additional family information. Problem now is how to compress and send all this in one file that must not be more than 2MB. I have been doing it all day, tried all form of compressing and file is still over 2.5MB. Please any one with experience should help. Thanks.

And we agree and proclaim by faith that our God has perfected all that concerns us in this part. ( Ielts, ECA, ITA, PPR among others) and we have testified to his Glory IJN. Amen

smslive2:
Brethren, Are you READY?? PPR IS LOADING FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE! The Lord have answered your prayers.. yes YOU

Thanks for the message. I just found out where I raise CSE for reissued passport. I think my file has been sent since. I have also ordered for gcmc note about a month and half now and I haven't gotten a reply. I heard AVO works more during the early part of the year so am hopeful.

adebee16:
Keep the faith and hope for the best. Was your file sent there recently or you only just found out?. I don't understand why they keep giving them files when there's a huge backlog. . Know this though, you have a One that breaks protocols is on your side

That moment you find out your file is in Accra Visa Office�� but l know that the heart of Kings and princes belong to my God and he direct it to whatsoever direction he wills. Congrats to all our PPR recipient. Any one with link to AVO Whatsapp group.

Thanks @Ifeoma77 . Any one with a contact at the passport office in Abeokuta should pls share with me. We want to go and hopefully get the renewed passport same day.

Ifeoma77:

Only raise the CSE when madam has done the new passport o.
Choose in Canada. As far as you know, you submitted to CIO so untill you find out differently, that is your VO

Thanks for the reply. The second part is that the link is asking for the visa office processing our application (either in OR out of Canada) and we don't know that. Can we just guess and choose one ?

Happy new year everyone. May all our dreams come through in this year of the quantum leap. Pls is it possible/how do I raise a CSE for a new passport for my wife as her expiry date goes below the 6months range today bearing in mind I don't know the visa office processing our application (either in OR out of Canada) . Aor July 27th. Thanks

First Bank atm will most likely not work. Same happened with me when I was trying to pay for Rprf fee in July. Had to result to using an agent who had a dollar account with standard chartered bank I think.


Please help ...

Which Naira Atm card(mastercard) can I use to make online payment of application 2550CAD

FIRST BANK is not going. I keep getting "declined transaction not approved" message[/quote]

Same here man. I think it's common to us that submitted in July oo

Phillips8hills:
My people. I don't know if i am being paranoid. Please advise. I observed here that the duration of time from AOR to medicals passed for most people ranges one week.
I submitted my application for a family of 6 (AOR) on 26 July, but there has not been any update in my CIC account as at today (exactly 3 weeks later).
Is this due to the size of my family or is there something I am missing?

Congratulations. May the land yield it's increase to you.


My Dear People of Canada with temporary residence in Nigeria, good morning. The ministry is moving to the permanent site and we will all get there.

I have not been able to read all the good wishes but I have been told offline that people are waiting so I must say something. I had initially decided that I was not going to announce PPR here but when people kept praying for me everyday I realized it would not be fair to allow you guys continue a prayer that has been answered. Thank you all for the love.

There was nothing special about my application, ECA took 8 months because my University was closed down for a year. My 'boti' Hubby had to go there and spent three days in my 'bush school' sorting it out.

IELTS was easy for us, I didn't even realize it could be an issue until I got to Nairaland and saw what people were going through. I spent five days on the move preparing for it but I made sure I did all the practice tests provided by BC, I also recorded myself speaking and sent to hubby to criticize.

Application from AOR to PPR took 6 months and two days. I will not be providing specific dates. There was an ADR for travel history (we are both ajalas).

Ordered GCMS and got it about 3 months into the application, all was fine. I just knew LVO was not touching it. Nothing was wrong.

I am that spouse that does not want to relocate, I am sure a lot of people will be surprised considering how active I am here. I just want to encourage everyone to take decisions with logic and not emotions. Emotionally, I cannot leave this place, my support system is here, I know my way around here. However, logic tells me that the fundamentals are not adding up, emerging countries do not become developed by miracle, there are certain things that must be in place and we simply do not have those things.

So, when Hubby came up with this idea (now he has cold feet...lol), I said okay if that is what you want to do I will support you. I took it and ran with it, my first port of call was Nairaland, over the last 11 years, I have browsed Nairaland for information on major projects in my life, the wealth of information is amazing. Seun's brain child is amazing. I have made amazing real life friends on this forum.

So what do I have to offer to the house? Advice to people that have not submitted their applications is, be detailed, if something does not seem apparent; explain it. Newmum0615 does NOCs; I do LOEs but LOEs have to be taken offline because specific details of people's lives are in it.

I am a project person, after I complete a project, I move on to the next. After some months I may not be so active here again but if anyone sends me a PM, I will respond.

Need to go now before I start crying, I will respond to all the love you guys have shown me when I get a moment. Love you all.

P.S: Special thanks to Muchaio, Mrsbee and Toygirl, they probably don't come here anymore but they answered all my stupid questions. Although they were my people before we ever dreamed of Express Entry; they are the reason I never really asked any questions here.
