Hi, I have seen the various responses on this issue, but i want to look at this from another angle. I will go with option 3 tho... Don't you plan to bear you hubby's name in future, and also have other babies, what name do you hope to have on your canadian passport when you eventually get there...am just looking at a case in future where your kids have to prove they have same mother and then the mothers name on their birth certificates are different, or there could be other cases...
I don't really know if am making sense, but i think you should do the publication now to clarify the surnames.

Then silence. Not even a single ADR.
Ordered 1st GCMS notes April 2018 everything looked perfect.
Then complete silence.
Ordered 2nd GCMS notes July 2018, this never arrived
Wrote Raplh who confirmed Eligibility and Security not yet started.
More silence, not even a ghost update
October 3rd 2018 ordered 3rd set of GCMS notes. Arrived Nov. 1st. Still same as April notes. My file had not been touched since March 2018. Eligibility and Security not yet started.
Wrote a 3rd mail to Ralph on Nov 4th who was gracious enough to respond (Ralph responds only once). He confirmed that my eligibility and security was not yet started and my application cannot be expedited.
Nov 8th, like a dream ! my PPR!

Checked email and profile this morning and saw nothing.

By 2pm during my lunch break, I saw a mail notification, I wanted to ignore but decided to check.

I saw a mail from donotreply@cic.gc.ca that I have an update on my profile. I was excited, that finally I am getting a ghost update / adr.

I logged into my cic acct and saw my profile was updated. I was so excited,thinking it was just a ghost update and that finally my file was receiving attention. I wanted to log out but I felt the nudge to proceed and click on view complete application which I did.

Nothing seemed to have changed, my background check was still in process, I was about to log out again, when I felt that urge to scroll further down to the mail section.

I saw I had a new mail, titled request letter. I already concluded that it was an ADR for fresh bank statement. Love and behold, it was the almighty PPR.

I wasn't expecting it to come without an ADR for updated POF since my application had been pending for almost 10months. I lost appetite immediately, and was was just screaming. I couldn't share the news with my colleagues, so I just lied to them that my husband got a new job!�.

I am immensely grateful to God Almighty who did not put me to shame. Delay is not denial. Though it tarries, it must surely come.

Thank you all for all the love and support.

Off to take my pictures and submit tomorrow.

This year has been so challenging. hubby and I lost our jobs, all our money tied at POF, we were feeding from Hand to mouth and struggled to pay school fees. Infact this September, we had to change their schools to a very cheap school.

God bless you all.

Congrats dear

NeneSisi:
Congratulations similar results with my 1st attempt with BC too.

Plan to rewrite with MOD

Congrats once again

Hephgirl:
congratulations dear... But trust me if u didn't ace it.. D mental state will be gingered

bunmioluwa:


My husband's result just came out, it showed LWSR 8,7,6.5,8, we will be reevaluating the speaking because he had 7.5 in the last one he did with MOD just a few weeks ago and out of his past 3 attempts, he has never had less than 7 in speaking so he is so disturbed and we know that speaking skills don't diminish that fast.

Are we to pay the N46,124 into the same account used for registration? If no, please share the account details, can't find it on MOD's website.

gbengaolu360:
Dear all, my wife is the primary applicant. But now, I want to be the primary applicant. Should I revoke her gckey or I should just withdraw her application from the pool and create a new entry for myself as primary applicant ??

Beeps:
Congratulations Zinggi !!! Please, can you send me an email. My email address is shobunmi@yahoo.co.uk I need your advise please

Teoyube1:
Many congrats to all those who have received PPR.

Mine shall surely come in part 5, infact before the end of this week. July 7th AOR, I speak unto you and call forth the blessings of God, Father, you have never disappointed me, you have shown me so much love and I appreciate you for who you are.

Despite hubby's adverse immigration history (has a 10 year ban from the UK, has a black stamp on his passport, has been denied entry to the UK and has been detained, chai), my Father in Heaven, I still believe and trust in you. Distance will never be a barrier to my marriage as I currently live and work in the UK and hubby cannot come.

Father, it is not your will that a man should live away from his wife, it is written that "a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined unto his wife and the two will become one flesh", I therefore speak unto my application and all on this forum who are expectant. May your perfect will be done on us all.

*Just thought I should relieve myself of my anxiety*
