LONGEST POST ALERT...........PPR GIST PART2

Thanks my "DESTINAMBARI" for the Part1 of our story. Am glad i finally convinced you to come out of that shell.
Boss Ifeoma, if you looking for your number one fan, it's xplorezee i tell youuuuuu!

Ok my people, this is the REMIX..........

Decision to travel has been since after my OND days. Actually delayed HND for few years as man had to hustle. This was born out of the advise from one of my lecturers back in 2015 at MAPOLY, that as a prospective Engineer, it's really important one go in search of core practical experience. And today, i thank God i followed the beautiful and life saving advise. More so, I have always learnt from my DAD that a man needs to be self sufficient.The support of the wifey should only be an added point .
This two reasons really made me work hard to gain experience and at the same time gather some funds.
Fast forward to 2009 while i was contemplating on going for my HND, i actually calculated how much i have been able to save and decided to give YANKEE a try. I contacted some folks i believed could help but they all turned me down one by one.
Without wasting much time, i enrolled for my HND and continued working by the side. After completion of my HND+NYSC in 2012, I decided to reawaken the Yankee dream in me once again. With more links to the Creme de la Creme people, surprisingly, they all turned me down one after another despite having my fund to finance myself o! #WinkedWorld
It was here i forgo the dream and face naija hustling reloaded. With much experience in the bags already, i was changing one job for another in the Engineering/Telecomm Sector, not even the B.sc/M.sc holders could compete with me at interviews. But sincerely, i kept on thinking and reevaluating my OBODOYIBO dream because i saw a lot in the line of duty. Toured all the states in the entire Naija since 2009 but the merciful God has really protected me from some horrible accidents. Talk of Bike, Buses, Luxirous(Ezenwata, Agborfure and co.) etc, the nature of my job is one that exposed me to all this things. Likewise, the struggle for survival never seem to END.
2014 came and this boy decided to get married to Ma'am xplorezee .
My Golden Son arrived in 2015 and from the moment I saw him at the hospital, I just knew my boy & family doesn't deserve a life in Naija. The thing wey my wife eye see for labour room na him dey go for front so .
Codedly & Calculatively, I began to restrategise again. Found out about YANKEE Visa interview and noticed that we were gonna be qualified with luck on our side. Talk of the conditions such as home ties, savings etc, I have got it all. But one thing lead to another, the urge never materialise.

Fast forward to Feb. 2018, I was strolling on my FB page when I saw the status of my Surest BOSS from my former coy i had worked in 2016. The Holy Ghost just shine my eyes onto his DP & I observed that his Profile Picture no be for here. I clicked on his profile and voila, it reads Winnipeg, Manitoba. I buzz him immediately and my boss that never disappoints answered sharperly. I inquire about how he take do am and it was there he told me about Canada Express Entry.
See me see as I almost hit myself say where i dey since, but don't mind me, like have said, i was busy raking in Millions for Companys with peanuts in return as salary. Na so man begin with d mysterious & adventurous journey to Canny LAND

ECA: This was already set since July 2018. We used WES and thankfully, all this WAEC brouhaha hasn't started at the time. Transcripts processing were also easy 'cos being a popular figure Faculty Treasurer(OND) and Faculty President(HND), I was still recognised and had a breeze

Oct.27th '18: Aced IELTS on the 6th attempt. Wifey too wrote 4 times. I would say two or three major factors contributed to this. One was the believe that wifey would be the suitable Pry. Applicant due to her B.sc, hence my refusal to properly read, we were also looking at the PNP route at the time. So, I was just doing it for fun. ECA outcome came in after our 4th attempts and our eyes opened when we saw that with my WES conversion as 2 or more certs, CRS would be dancing between 441-450 with me as the P.A depending on IELTS. Na so i tell Madam say it's time to rest while i take charge. I took it the 5th time after thorough preparation but my overconfidence in "READING(my favourite)" earned me 6.5. I actually finished in 45mins but was just thinking about WRITING instead of make good use of the 15minutes left to go through my answers.
I immediately Reload and Refire in the next test of Oct.27th & had LRSW 8.5,7,7,7. CRS come siddon jejely for 444 .

MEDICALS: This was done UPFRONT in Nov.2018 at Q-Life. It was quite smooth as we got to V.I around 5:30am. Fnished well on time around 10:30am and had our PCC on same day with Inspector Moshood.

POF: Was also a breeze, as IELTS between myself & wifey don cost me about 1M+ coupled with some other unprofitable business i had dabbled into; I reached out to my Uncle in the U.S and he gracefully sent me some solid funds with gift deed. Another jolly childhood friend of mine also supported with some substantial amount.

REFERENCE LETTER: Was from my Supervisor on a plain paper, not notarized while i only attached his ID card. 6months payslips and printed Statement of Account. My Employment and Promotion letters were also inclusive while i had 2 NOCs.
COPR passports was at the famous Studio24.

ITA: Dived into the pool with a CRS of 444 in Nov 2018. Na here another hypertension start. Draws that were dancing btw 440 & 442 before we entered pool o, na so CRS shoot to 449 & 445 in two consecutive draws. Omo! See fear!
ITA finally landed gidigba on Dec.19th with CRS cut off 439 for the day. I carry many lucky people for back on this day .

AOR: Packaged all IRCC requirements and send am back to them on Dec.27th and got AOR. RPRF was also paid. No dulling at all as all documents don even ready since JUNE(lol).

MEP/BIL: Came in on Feb.7th 2019 and was done on the same day at VFS Lekki. After this, we were becoming restless awaiting PPR.

On Feb26th: My wife has been saying all day that "PPR must show today after another boss of mine in my current company got his PPR days earlier. At around 11:30pm while still busy with my second family(IELTS CLASS), na so the IRCC mail dropped o! Na him I said, "darling it's like he don show o".
We logged into our account with SPEED and unfortunately, it was an ADR(lol). The request was for why there was a difference in my name on my Boys birth certs and that of my Credentials. My people, this ADR na because of WASIU(present in all my official docs.)and ABDUL WASIU(on my Sons birth certificate o). So please, let's be careful.
Na so my wifey sprang the surprise by bringing out our Wedding Invitation of five(5) yrs ago. My God! I fear women that day 'cos i never believed she kept that single copy all along.
Low & behold! My name was written Abdul Wasiu on it and na so we scanned and write fews words join. We made it "back to sender" that same night .
Adebee dear, i thank you once again for your assistance on this night too. We began to wait again, especially as people were saying don't worry, your PPR will land in three days once they have verified the ADR response. Sleepless nights come start. Will finish with my IELTS people around 11pm and still wake up like 3x in between till day break to check for the Golden Mail. No be small thing at all.

March.29th: After vivi844's comment here on NL on d 28th, wifey decided to call IRCC on d 29th and we received yet another shocking news. The lady that answered said our PPR mail has been sent since March7th and we should have received it since then. We told her we received no such mail at all. Me that i have been checking my mail in & out(Spam o, Important o, Thrash o and even inside my phone jacket to see if he dey hide for there) every blessed day since the day we submitted their ADR. She assured us that she will contact the office in charge to issue us another one.
My people, na this particular waiting period come worse pass. In fact he for better if the lady hadn't told us anything like that. I begin to make a list of the people i have told about this to reason if any Village Pelson dey among them . Wifey was restless, Me the hubby was sleepless. Na so so checking of Inbox every hour for our Miracle Mail. At some point, i be dey think say whether na my IELTS Students take juju hold the thing say if wasseynewest don get PPR, it's bye-bye to tutorials .
We sent IRCC mail, Ralph goodale no carry last and also raised CSE. Two days after, CSE replied and add salt to our injury. Their mail reads we should wait till April 28th and contact them again if we no see anything. Chai! Which kin tin be this Fada Lord!
At this stage, wifey and i have zeroed our mind to the 28th and we were really getting over it.

On April9th: It was around 4:15am when i go "weewee", na him i just said make i check if my phone dey charge as the charger too don contact the IRCC virus and do misbehave at times. I looked at it, saw it's charging and was about to drop it na him i see the google mail alert. Honestly, I wasn't thinking about PPR cos i do wake up to like 5 mails daily. Na so the Holy Spirit told me to check and see the Joy that await my FAMILY. I opened true true only to see the IRCC mail. At that moment, my breath seized for a second for fear of another ADR. Again, the PPR mail wasn't on my mind at all. I summoned the courage and opened the mail. Wawuuuuuu!!! Finally, the Eagle has landed for my domot. I couldn't scream, I was speechless, I just smiled and whispered to the heaven & said "ALHAMDULILAH, God, you finally did this". Went straight up to Madam for room and said, "No shout o. It's like the Mail has entered. She replied asking me to "Say Walahi". I showed the mail to her and the feeling was like that of the very first time i met her at IKOTUN Bus Stop. She smiled at me like it was the very first day she said "Yes" to my toasting........

With Passports already at the VFS office, we have started parking to land "VERY HARD" in CANADA already.

In the end, ONLY GOD MADE IT POSSIBLE.

Topsmamen:


1. You guys will be married next month so why not just apply as a couple? If you want to go ahead and apply alone, do NOT apply as a single as that will be misrepresentation that can ruin your chances for PR. Instead, you can go as "spouse unaccompanying" but bear in mind that you will still have to show funds for you+wife, submit her PCC and then she'll go for a medical exam even if she's not going to Canada with you. Then you'd have to explain why she's not coming with you blah blah blah. All the wahala for spouse unaccompanied and then you go through the hassles of taking her over later? Mr. packaging, don't worry yourself at all. Just read up and explain to her the benefits of being a Canadian PR. When madam learns about the "packaging" Canada offers to PRs, it is highly likely that her job will suddenly become less time-consuming and she will jump ship from Dubai to Canada immediately .

2. No idea. Try to get a contact there/in Nigeria so you can get more info.

3. Depends on your score as the PA. Your age/work experience/academic degree/IELTS score would mean a lot here. If your points are not high enough, she might have to step in to write the IELTS to boost your score. Play around the CRS tool to simulate your scores which will help put things into perspective. I think you need to read this as well.

4. I hear it takes a year after you land as a PR and it's no easy feat bro. Better to add her to your application now.

Topsmamen, LOL, nice one.

Please fill me in regarding the bolded caption. I honestly would like to know what I stand to benefit.

Thanks chief. We have exchanged emails, so feel free to fill me in in whichever way you prefer sir.

Hi folks,

Should a secondary applicant evaluate his Secondary School qualification (High School)? That's his highest educational qualification but with 11 years work experience.
Will it make any difference? (crs tool gave only 2 points. Lol)

Thanks in anticipation.

Topsmamen, Ifeoma, Kingspaco and all other guys out here helping others and doing the Lord's work, you guys are appreciated. just know.

I pls i have changed my name due to marriage is it better to apply with my new name . however all my school certificates bear my maiden name

AdetonaDami:

Lastly, please before you pack finish, e still remain one essay wey we never treat oo, ehn biko

pejuhazel:

1) If your spouse will not be moving with you, then you can apply as spouse unaccompanying.
2) I know nothing about this
3) If you writing alone is enough to boost your CRS, then no need for her to write. But if your CRS is low she'll have to write but doesn't have to score as high as you.
4) Applying for her to later join you might be somewhat hectic. So I'll advise that if there's any chance of her changing her mind and deciding to join you, it's best you include her now.
All the best

Thanks for the explanation. God bless

Edmontonlad:


1. Apply as a couple since you are getting married in May. Help her assess her documents and while you are preparing for your Ielts, carry her along.
Obviously you'd be the Principal applicant, so if she manages to score 6666 and you score 8777 and has 2 or more certificates, you are good to go.


2. No idea sir.

3. No. She might not even asses her academic qualifications if you have 2 or more certificates and atleast 3 years work experience {please don't be above 31 Abi 32 }

4. It's possible but it's usually a long shot.

I hope my input helps.

Thanks Edmontonlad... God bless

ladymarshall:
1. No. That will be misrepresentation. You apply as married and add unaccompanying spouse.
2. I don't but someone here will answer
3. Yes. IELTS is one of the mandatory requirement. Try to score LRSW: 8777 or above. It is safe to max out 8.5, 8,7.5,7.5
4. Good but very long and cumbersome. It is better to apply as a couple Read here https://www.matthewjeffery.com/spousal-partner-immigration-sponsorship-lawyer/process-for-spousal-sponsorship-into-canada/

Spend more time reading the EE basics here https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

Thanks Ladymarshall and God bless

Please who has a contact at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) exams and records office...
ICES just mailed me that they've contacted them and I'll need them to respond before they can complete my ECA.
Since Jan 17th o that I've been on this ECA journey

reciprocal:

Apply with your new name. Have documents supporting your name change e.g marriage cert, affidavit etc

Good evening all. I find it difficult to print the IMM forms from CIC website, Can I get the IMM forms at VFS and fill it there ?

I am doing paper route

Hi, please so I printed my last three months bank statement and then my gift deed. Do I have to highlight my gift deed deposit on my bank statement? I feel since the gift deed states the date the money was given to me, it should be enough to guide the VO to the deposit on my account statement.

Instead, I highlighted my salary deposits as further proof of my earnings.

Thank you for your prompt @ Topsmamen. I had actually done a random search before calling for assistance. I saw various chats, but nothing solid. Someone mentioned that he / she has used cooperative as POF but wasn't detailed in the explanation.

Thanks anyway.." U are far too kind"

Go to the Search bar of this thread and type "cooperative society pof". You'll get a 1-page search result that will give you as much info as you need.
