Hi Fam,

Almost 7 months post AOR (Sep. 7) and no update since Biometrics completion. Ordered GCMS note and all is looking except for the part highlighted in yellow below. Should I be concerned? Accra VO.

Were you denied visa in the past 10years?

Newmum0615:
Thank you my people. Ifeom.a77 now that you have exposed me, go to Iddo park tomorrow morning and collect the cooler of rice I sent via last bus to Nigeria.

My people. Please is WES good enough for eca evaluation is Bsc Nursing from England?

Yes, absolutely

Mariesio:


Thanks from me too!

just the MBA and you're good to go. You can also avoid WAEC stress by evaluating with IQAS, ICES or CES. CES has a 12 weeks timeline - the shortest amongst all four

Guys, una welldone oo.

My peole say person weh ask question no dey loss.

So, my transcript is ready. All i had to do was write letter to academics, and pay the necessary fees. I want to send to WES. Do i need to attach that "International transcript request form", filled by myself and school, where necessary or i shld just send the transcript in a sealed, stamped and signed envelope (alongside my certificate)?

and talking about certificate, shebi na photocopy abiiii?

The form used to be optional. I don't know if that has changed now. If the envelope has not been sealed, just add it.
Yes, certificate is photocopy o!!! No try send original

rosepetraa:


And you forgot to add that Remark is 46,124.00 with IDP MOD and thé same Remark is 15,000.00 with British Council.

Who no go, no know.

On processing timelines - Part I

It has become increasingly clear since last year that IRCC is becoming overwhelmed by the number of express entry applications to be processed. I remember a discussion on earlier thread with @Tojued and others. In the face of overwhelming anecdotal evidence, I took the position that since IRCC maintains the 6 months processing timeline on its website it must still be true. I posited that applications are still being processed on time, maybe we are just not hearing about it. With my own 6-months timeline in sight, I've done further research and I'm re-evaluating my position.


To be continued....

The longer processing thing started from June AORs. I'm waiting to see how many percent they'll declare. In my opinion, they processed less than 50% of the applications within 6 months

Heard ICES and others takes awfully long time but 12 weeks is not bad. I will try CES then.

Pls is ICES same as CES?

Thanks

Mariesio:

Okay then, please go ahead with WES. WAEC isn't an issue anymore sef. Just get set for verification so it can be concluded speedily

Do WES. Im also in the process. Waec isnt an issue. I met with God sent Angel who is processing mine and she's been helpful.

Just asking...., did the status of your online profile change as your application got approved?

wasseynewest:
Hallooo my people. Now i think my APPLICATION is having this same issue with Vivi o!

Wifey called IRCC agent this afternoon, the lady told us that our file has been approved since March 7th and PPR mail already sent.

But we didn't get any mail(not even in my spam & the likes). The lady had to put us on hold for like 3 mins again to confirm very well, she came back affirming her earlier information to us and even requested for my mail id again for confirmation.

Las Las, she said she will contact the officer in charge to send us another PPR mail. Na Prayer we dey since o while we have tried to send some mails as advised here earlier. Thanks famz
AOR was Dec.27th.

Hello guys,

Hope we are keeping up well. Hoping for a favourable draw tomorrow. Some of us can't wait to get that sexy ITA. xoxo

kiari:
I sent it again, if you did not, kindly initiate from your end.
God bless you

[color=#006600][/color]
Hi Kiari, seen and responded.

Well said Lady M!

ladymarshall:
Haha! Is anything worthwhile ever easy? I think that going is the easiest part sef. PPR is only the beginning. Living, settling and getting a job in Canada seems even more tougher than going. I have not slept since yesterday. Spent all night on Quora, Canadavisa, google home page and the living in canada thread NL reading migrants' experiences in Canada, their survival strategies, job hunt efforts, their happiness and regrets etc. So many varied experiences from people with different nationalities, some are happy, others are bitter, some settled in fine quickly, others are still finding their feet after years. This is indeed a personal journey, only you can own it and make the best out of it with information and networks. The major lessons I could get out from last night reading is the importance of managing your expectations (there are positives and negatives), keeping an open mind to what you get, while still being ambitious and striving for better opportunities.

Do not be discouraged. Take this journey one step at a time. And see it as a training for you. When you have questions or have the slightest doubt, keep asking. There is no stupid or dumb question, only different levels of understanding. It is why we are here

na... they seem to enquire into your marriage to review if it's legit. Hear AVO is keen on Marriage ish like pictures, certifcates, emails btw you two or things like that. So if your Marraige is solid you have nothing to worry about. peace and patience to you and yours MrOba... it shall end in praise!

akintunde63:

Please when did you submit your application?

Anikulapu:
Good afternoon NL family , my profile was update , medicals that was passed but no update on biometric is there anything to be scared of ? Because all I use to see is Med and biometric at this time. Please I need a reply before BP kill person.

Going by the trend of rounds of ITA slots, I predict that there will be three rounds this month. In the last quarter, the ITAs given were larger t by about a round size (3900 usually) when compared to q1 2018. The third draw in January contributed to this, making sure few high scoring candidates entered as new and allowing long waiters to get in. Also, the long 21 day break from the regular draw days in February ensured that many new and higher scoring candidates could populate the draw, so it wont't stay as low as 438. Hence the increase in CRS points till date. With their set target in mind and the likelihood of same rounds of invitation like the first quarter, this month of April will possibly witness 3 rounds. With that comes lower CRS points even from tomorrow.

Don't exercise fears about the increasing intending applicants. Canada is willing to take more people. There will also be friction getting into the pull. Especially getting an ECA. The more people are seeking ECA, the more time it provides for people in the pool to get ITA. Even the almighty WES is now overwhelmed. IRCC is not likely to add more organization to provide ECA services.

SO keep your fingers, pray for your ITA to come and dont take me too seriously.....

We must all reach Canada las las (that's if you are not coming here to ask whats ECA and stop spamming the pool when you know you dont have POF ).

Hello everyone,

An online payment was done for LASU transcript on the 21st of March, 2019 via the school's portal. Up till this moment, there's been no update.

Please, does anyone know how to follow up with them/do have a contact to connect with?.

Good morning house, pls I submitted my application in March, AOR march 8 but I just realized that I forgot to state that I'm a member of society of petroleum engineers. Will this cause an issue or is there anything I can do to rectify?

I meant that, it's not difficult to fulfill the WAEC requirements. The process is very straightforward and actually quite easy
