My great family. It has happened! The joy I feel right now cannot be described. My chest o!

I remember precisely on the 28th of September when;

iaatmguy said, "aswearoGod but i wonder why those announcing type short post and term it "LONG POST ALERT". Mods please lets enforce PPR announcement to be 1,000,000 words".
iaatmguy, i hope say you don fix that keyboard? Lol.

30 minutes later, Ifeoma77 replied saying, "I second this motion jare! Every time I see "It's PPR, Long post alert", e dey sweet my belle. We want more".

Tojued (talking to Expectantbee) said, "Congratulations! Eagerly awaiting the full gist! Like was suggested today, please make it as long as possible".

So please, abeg, biko, ejo, make una permit me to sweet Ifeoma belle, enforce iaatmguy's PPR-announcement-with-1-million-words policy and make it as long as possible for Tojued by declaring this announcement a #LONG FUNNY DRAMATIC POST. Enjoy!

Me: "Hello Broda Shaggi"
Broda Shaggi: "ah! Ore mi! Ow are you? Any queshun for d day? Oya......hit me!"
Me: "Broda Shaggi! I got my PPR this morning!"
Broda Shaggi: "Shuo! Na queshun be dat? PRP? wetin be PRP?"

McLively: #interrupts rudely: "My friend! He ask you what PPR is and you have take 2-way flight to Ottawa and come back to Mushin. What is PPR? Simple question! PPR means Passport Request. It means......"
Me: "Oga. The question was not for you".
McLively: "Ehnnnn...but...but I choose to answer it".
Broda Shaggi: "LOL. LMAO. LIMFAO. Ogbeni! You neva answer my queshun. I say wetin be PPR?!!"
Me: "PPR is Passport Request. Also commonly known as the Golden Email. It is an email an applicant receives which indicates that their Canadian Permanent Residence application is successfully approved and it notifies the applicant to submit their passport at the visa centre for onward processing. ".
Broda Shaggi: "Golden wetin? Canada? So how me sef go take enter Canada? Becos dis naija no be country, na state and capital. As dis country dey like dis, dem suppose give dis country visa make e travel, make e go see e mates - Canada, Dubai, America, make e go see how dem dey do. Oya show me d Canada way na?"
Me: "Ok. The first step you need to take is to calculate your CRS, then do your ECA (with WES or IQAS), then write the IELTS, then....."
Broda Shaggi: "You dey smoke abi? E be like say ironic bomb dey your head abi? All dis acrimony wey you dey mention....."
Me: "No Broda Shaggi. It's called 'atomic bomb' and they are called 'Acronyms' not 'acrimony'. Also, you have to first do some research on Canada Express Entry. You can go to Nairaland for more info.......".
Broda Shaggi: "Nairaland? No be those pipu wey dey say make newcomers go read from Page 1? Their fada!"
Me: "Yes, they are good people. Also...."
Broda Shaggi:"Also kini? If dem born anybody well, make dem tell me say make i go read from page 1. E be like say fufu wey don spoil dey una belle."
Me: "But Broda Shaggi. If you want to be a permanent resident in Canada, Nairaland can help you achieve that. It is a great and wealthy source of information and inspiration. There are great and kind folks who are always willing and ready to help. We have GlitteringStar, NewMum0615, Ifeoma77, joo2018, Elfmannisback, einsteino, kontagious, Tojued, cochtrane, Hephgirl, iaatmguy, the ever-helpful-three-colored musketeers (smslive2, mcstan18, sunvick), TEECANN, luffyhaki, ysteph, "je m'apelle Ramj", jholarharde, NanaF, radec, stonecoldcafe, guitarlife, bbaby84, tolfa, happytbaby, CanadianBae and many other awesome people."
Broda Shaggi: "guitar wetin? Elfman is where? shey na people name be dat? People wey dey for dis our naija?"
Me: "No, it's not their names, it is their monikers".
Broda Shaggi: "Monica? No be woman name be dat? Dis Ifeoma77 wey u mention, na woman abi?"
Me: "my broda, me sef no know if Ifeoma77 na woman. Ifeoma dey use our head play ludo".
Broda Shaggi: "so you don tell all these moniker your timetable?"

Me: "No Broda Shaggi. It is called Timeline, not timetable. My ITA was May 9, AOR was June 13, MEP/IP1 was June 26, IP2 was October 9, ADR (Updated Bank Statement) was October 10, ADR submitted same day, PPR mail came in at 4:17 AM today (October 16), Visa Office is Ottawa, AOR to PPR is 125 days, Single applicant".

Broda Shaggi: "Oyaaaa!!!! Tell dem! Because Oyinbo say what? A Express Entry is a game changer for the illegal immigrant for d moniker and the continent of Nigeria and the diaspora".......#doing the broda shaggi pose......."Taink u!"
Me: "illegal immigrant? I am not an illegal immi....."
Broda Shaggi: #interrupts and does the broda shaggi pose again. "i say.......taink u!"



On my way now to submit my passport sharply as I owe my loving brother some sweet 15 sibling points. The journey is not over until we both get our COPRs and land in Canada. It will surely end in praise. #DancingShakuShakuAway. I will keep you guys updated as events unfold. Thank you All.

Make I drop this phone and hold my dear passport tight because this bus conductor is looking at me like .........

Kasich:


I just called Q-life to book a date and they said the earliest available date is 6th December. I hope you people don't take this bad habit of greed and ignorance to Canada, just wait till you get ITA before booking, it's unfair to others.

You cannot be hoping to improve your score or still writing IELTS yet have a booked appointment. This same thing ruined Germany interview dates late last year and lots of us with admission letters where unable to get dates while some folks who didn't have admission yet booked more than 10 slots with different emails.

Please let's have a change of heart and consider others, I may have to opt for opt for Abuja for medicals.

Hi All.

Long post alert!

Its PPR guys. Yes o, after 7 months, London VO has freed me.
AOR: 4 March 2018
MEP: 13 March 2018
ADR 1: 19 Sep 2018
ADR 2: 2 Oct 2018
RPRF : 5 Oct 2018
IP2 : 9 Oct 2018
PPR: 9 Oct 2018.

In January 2018, Hubs and I decided to apply for Canadian PPR. I am the primary applicant, and I have a foreign masters degree, so WES evaluation was pretty easy.
A day after we entered the pool, we received our ITA.
I always knew our application would get sent to London. It was a feeling i couldnt shake.
On 21-Mar 2018, i got a "how to get a job in canada email".
Chai, i knew we had entered 1 chance

I called hubby and told him my worst fears had come true. But he was still trying to give me hope. The email is not a guarantee of transfer to London. I said ok o..make we dey see.

In May 2018, we called IRCC, and they confirmed that in deed on that day, our file was transferred to LVO.

July 2018, i sent LVO an email, asking for an update on my application, their response was i was in a queue waiting review.

Sept 4 2018, exactly 6 months after AOR, i sent Ralph an email. Asking for an update. He responded that although my file was initially reviewed on 7-Aug, nothing had been started.

Chai!!!! 6 months, nothing. I wont lie, I cried.

19-Sep-18: LVO sent me 8 ADR requests. Yes, O, 8!!!!!

We compiled and submitted everything on 25 of Sept.

2 of Oct, another ADR. This time, 1 year bank statement for my salary account.

We submitted the one i generated from mobile app, including reference letter from the bank, 12 months payslip, and updated POF. (the last 3 were to be sure they had everything o).

On 5-Oct, we received RPRF request. That day, i knew it was only a matter of time.
Family members were already dancing and jubilating o..Hubs and I were still waiting for PPR, before we dance sha.

12pm today, it came o....

Finally!!!!

Please help me thank God o. He has been in charge from the get go.

Did i mention that the second ADR came from Lagos office.. Yes o, Lagos immigration.

Only God knows how and when Lagos became involved in my case.

It sha ended in praise!!!.

Please what are the ADRs you got

Tojued:


Lol POF is not a real challenge. Start the other steps in faith. I'm yet to see someone who got ITA and declined more than twice, because of POF. e go sort eself.

Enitan007:
Just entered the pool on 443 after spouse IELTS result dropped this morning. I pray next draw comes down, as I'll be losing 5 point by Nov 6.

ans123:



How come no one is talking about booking with IOM GRA Ikeja

joo2018:
Congrats to everybody who aced IELTS. The rest of us, let's keep trying.

In other news, Part 1 of my Canada story almost over after 9 months since decision to travel. Spouse ECA received and IELTS results out. CRS jumping from 423 to 447. My marathon stay in the pool almost over.

Fingers crossed for next Wednesday.

NB: now I know why the number of candidates with high CRS score in the EE pool jumps from Friday to draw on Wednesday. IELTS General Training tests globally comes out the week before the draw (here). So you see people worldwide massively collecting their TRF between Friday and Tuesday and diving into the pool or updating their profile against Wednesday.
