Any food or agric product. You are not supposed to carry more than a certain quantity. Once you have agreed with the officer checking you, you will pay like N2,000 to get a certificate/receipt.

They are at entrance. They are on one side, the security people on the other side.

Hello landed seniors , please what do the AGRIC officials at the airport check for? Are they the same people by the entrance/scanner or they're located somewhere in the airport? I'm asking because I don't want to drop any of my stuffs o.

Congratulations, submitted passports that same day, quickly rushed to check my profile after reading yours and lo and behold, APPLICATION APPROVED

It has ended in praise ooo

Narkoya:
Ladies and Gents... come ohhh!
Application has been approved.

Decision to leave Nigeria- since forever. After my MSc in the uk, I came home intending to go back for a PhD. Unfortunately, my mum fell Ill and died. Phd dream had to take a back seat so I could care for my siblings. Eventually got a great job and kept travelling as much as I could. One day, heard about canada ee and decided to try it out. Before I could say Jack Robinson, I met, fell in love and married the most patriotic Nigerian on earth. Started trying to get him to agree to EE... Eventually, he agreed cos he wanted me to be happy. Meanwhile, I started my WES behind his back

IELTS: My husband kept dragging his feet until BC increased their fees to 75k lol. We wrote in june 2018 and the man who didnt want to write IELTS had 8.5/8.5/8/8 while I had 8 in all except writing - 6.5. I was devastated. Immediately registered for another exam, even though I was advised to do an EOR. Wrote my second IELTS and had 8.5 in all but writing.... 6.5 again! I no gree oh. EOR straight! Score increased to 7.5. Next hurdle medicals.

MEDICALS: I had paid for a vacation to us so couldn't get a favourable date at both children's practice and Q life. Meanwhile, I, the PA, turned 30 so we lost a few points. Didnt want to do medicals in the us incase I needed a repeat. Eventually completed medicals at IOM in November 2018. Meanwhile, ITA was received in October.

First AOR: November 30, 2018
First Ghost update: sometime in January. Eventually, update was tigta our application had been rejected as incomplete. I was so devastated. Apparently the Muslim marriage cert wasn't accepted. Hubby encouraged me to take it as one of those things, review all our documents again and reapply.

2nd AOR: March 08, 2019.
That's when I discovered nairaland oh. You guys really helped my sanity. Eventually raised a cse based on advise I received here as I had forgotten to include one of the associations of which I'm a member of. Got a generic response. In my mind I was like na una sabi

Biometrics/MEP: requested on April 25. Completed on April 29, 2019 (I think). Continued waiting while reading nairaland every 1 hr. Lol.

PPR: one day, woke up from sleep to an email from CIC. Was so scared cos the last time it was rejection. Started praying oh. Eventually opened it and it was ppr with an adr for schedule A. Straight to nairaland again. Eventually learnt that many people who had previous visa rejections got schedule A. Omo! Filled that form and went through it like 50 times for both hubby and I. Eventually submitted our passports on june 6th after a gruelling few hours at VFS.

The wait continued oh cos I'm naturally cautious. Hubby started making plans, me I still dey shake. Yesterday, we got a ghost update and I almost wet my pants in fear cos I hadn't ever read kd anyone who got a ghost update post PPR. Nairaland rescued me... yet again! Asked someone on here who just received copr and he said he had a ghost update like 3 weeks after submitting. I still kept freaking out cos our ghost update was 11 days after submitting passports.

Long story short, logged into my CIC account for my daily check and saw application updated, prayer again! A final decision has been made, double prayer!! APPLICATION APPROVED!!! Allahu Akbar. Took a screenshot and sent to hubby.

Started sending supplications to God to thank him. God bless y'all. You really helped to preserve my sanity. Looking forward to getting our passports back. Need to start packing and selling stuff off

Hello all, please for those that used BA/Air Canada, was there a need for UK visa? Thank you

OYASALOF:
My people, it is finally here.. PPR.... I'm coming

LOGAN TI O DE!!!!!

Decision to travel 2017, my husband (PA) wrote IELTS in 2017 and had 6.5 in listening didn't really know much about express entry then he got a job in the UK and we exed Canada and focused on UK. UK now came with their wahala and increased the salary scale for sponsorship and the company couldn't afford the new salary scale, so we exed the whole process and continued with our lives.

Later in the year, I told my husband to let's continue with this our Canada runs o, then I found this thread and started reading from part 1 and registered in part 3. Then in 2018, IELTS struggle began. He wrote IELTS 6 times and even missed an exam because we applied for UK visa and passport wasn't ready before the exam. We called and mailed British Council, but they were not able to help. Chai 68k just like that.

ECA: this was pretty straightforward for us because we evaluated our UK masters degree with WES and it was ready within one month

IELTS: My husband wrote the exam 6 times. We remarked some (BC and Mod) and it came back unchanged. Even though I didn't write, my husband practised with different videos on YouTube and some materials on British Council website few days to the exam.

POF: hmmmm, all I can say is that God showed up. POF was fixed deposit certificate only from first bank. We supported it with screenshot of the exchange rate using XE and we added a summary table of our pof.
No letter in CIC format, no statement of account, no letter of indebtedness, just the fixed deposit certificate.
I was also worried because our fixed deposit was for one year(November) and our medicals expires October 2019 and there was a huge discussion regarding this, but God came through. This pof Ehn, almost every time I want to make payment, mall or delivery, I mostly say pof instead of pos

WORK REFERENCE:this was also straightforward. Reference letter(to whom) in CIC format, ID, 6months payslip
NB: my husband resigned December 2018, so we raised CSE. He resumed with another company in April but we didn't notify cic.

BIOMETRICS: biometrics was after 32days and we completed it January 3. The server was down and we spent almost 3 hours. Only for me to check our profile and realised that my name was misspelt (village people), so I raised CSE and it was corrected after 3wks or so

PCC: my husbands colleague linked us with one inspector like that (a lady). I told my husband that we should use inspector Moshood o, he didn't answer. OK, ask for the price at least we'll know how much to budget before we get there, Oga no answer and I kept quiet. Na so this inspector bill us 15k(7500 each) after we finished. She sha collected 14k. I was so pained.

Our UK PCC was very straightforward. My husband schooled in Scotland, we used same UK PCC for Scotland placeholder.

MEDICALS: we used children practice, everything went well. God bless the guy that swapped dates with me. God bless you real good. (was scared because I felt my blood sample was darker than others ). This journey can make you think plenty things.

We were trusting and praying that our PPR comes in 60days (January) because we didn't want to pay rent in March, pof will reduce but will still be above the required amount. But God's time is always the best. We moved our pof from first bank to arm (no cse raised) because interest made more sense and we can always withdraw the interest at will.

Also, my location on Facebook was UK, I had to edit it. My business page (justwigsng) on instagram can also be linked to my personal page, had to edit it because I didn't mention it (even though I wasn't the PA). Was just trying to be safe.

The waiting is really a test of patience, especially when you can do nothing about it. I checked our profile everyday
Raised CSE weekly when we hit 4 months.
There was even a time they responded that our file has been transferred to Nova Scotia. Called them the following day (9/4/2019) and was told it's still in Ottawa and criminality, background checks and eligibility in progress, security not started.

We raised another CSE and was told eligibility hasn't begun , same thing we were told when we called. CSE can confuse with their responses sha.

POST 6 MONTHS
Anyways sha, we decided to mail Ralph but we got an automated response. An idea struck and we decided to mail another MP, we mailed Ziad Aboultaif and Randy Boissonnault MPs for Edmonton (since we're settling there) and Ziad replied that our file is in for final review, while Randy replied that he'll contact ircc and get back to us. So, I think other MPs can also help with the status of our application, please let's wait till after 6months o.

We sha called them again after we got ghost update and we were told that criminality and eligibility passed while security is yet to start (I doubted it sha ). I was so excited because eligibility is one of the biggest hurdles of this process. The agent also told us if we don't get an update on or before June 15, he'll send a reminder mail to the case officer Abi analyst de ni . We got another ghost update yesterday evening and woke up to the mail this morning. I can't explain the feeling.

@guitarlife2 thank you for sharing those valid points. Your point 2 about MSc BSc
Most jobs in Canada do not require an MSC so please loose the MSC and put ur BSC

My husband studied BSc Computer Information System and MSc Purchasing and Supply chain management, with professional certification. His only work experience is with his MSc qualification and he has 5yrs experience. So, how will he go about putting his BSc he has no work experience in against his MSc in his CV. Cheers

Congratulations
