VERY VERY LONG POST ALERT

I had been feeling down for a week and actually decided to type this on Monday as a therapy and put my PPR date as 10/04/2019 but hey what is one day?
I was jejely taking lunch this afternoon and my second son was fighting me for it, then i got an email alert, saw it was a "do not reply mail", omo, i no know when i drop the food o.
All in all, i am very grateful to God. 9months 18day wait was no joke but hey, the joy of PPR has overriden that. For everyone still expectant, may your joy be full and your expectation will not be cut off.

"For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry".

Wow Congrats. The 9 months wait has ended beautifully.

@majamisile (don't leave me behind), @Vancouver4, @Xclusivemaama: it's right there on page 1 o. Thanks to @joo2018.

Worldcitizen1:
Big congrats to the PPR clinchers. I am new here and I need some advice on the best ECA to use for my BSC. I had used WES, the ECA report recognized my degree but states that it is from an unrecognized institution. I obtained this degree from a university in Benin Republic. Anyone have any advice on which I should go with? Someone suggested ICES. Who has used ICES? Do anyone know if they rejects schools too? Also, I am worried about using IQAS, though they don't reject schools as WES, their processing time is long. My IELTS expires this August and I really hope i can sort this out soonest

Good evening Worldcitizen1, i just sent you a pm, I'll be happy if we can have a chat.

Thanks

Hi

I don't know if you've gotten a response.

Did u update this information on your CIC Account

For you to get 600 points u need to update the part of the form asking if u have nomination... i might b wrong but that's what i think.. i doubt its instant...

i hope this made sense

bimmie85:
Hello everyone, please I need your help on what to do after nomination by SINP.

I got ITA for Express Entry Category on Nov 23, 2018, I submitted on Jan 14, 2019. My status changed to in process on Feb 27, 2019, and I was nominated on Mar 25, 2019.

Since then I have been checking my CIC account to see the 600 points or to accept the nomination, but nothing yet. Does anyone know what to do at this point? Or how long I need to wait or who to contact. I will appreciate your kind response. Thank you

Hello Friends,

Been a little bit active via my other account, but I'll be very active with this one going forward. Big congratulations to the PPR clinchers. I can imagine how you feel. I pray i feel that way too soonest .

I'm here for this Journey. No going back. No retreat. It will definitely end in praise. Lots of unaswered questions - POF one of the. But i serve a Miracle working God; and He will miraculously raise it for me. I will refer to this post SOON and say "God finally did it".

Today i sent my Transcript to WES via DHL. Felt good about it. I'm making progress.

WAEC stuffs were sent yesterday through DHL, via a lady i met on this platform. She made the whole waec request and stuffs on my behalf as i am based far away from Lagos. I was a bit scared (Trust - as i've never met her) but it turned out good. God bless you dear.

I had earlier wrote my IELTS but was unlucky. scored:

Speaking......7.5
Reading........7.0
Writing.........7.0
Listening.......7.0

Was a big blow as i understand i needed "8" in Listening. That was my first attempt, but i'll go for it again. God go do am.

In any case, wanted to announce my official arrival to this family. Wish me well, welcome me and take me as one of yours. Our story shall eventually end in Praise.

Welcome officially.

And thank you for trusting her.

Your next Ielts will favour you.

Dear All,


Please can I use French language as my first official language if I pass TEF exams(French language exams) more than IELTS. cos i'm thinking that will fetch me more points. i'm actually good in French

Yes it has. Thank you so much

Stephanie09:


Congratulations sis. It has ended in praise

Good day fam,
I am a follower of this wonderful thread. I actually decided to focus on US for now.
I got admit and a full tuition waiver at the Northern Illinois University. I need to show a statement of account of 7m to get my I20.

Please pardon me if I derailed the thread ..
I need help .

Please my email is benz3n@gmail.com

Hello,

No, I haven't updated the CIC Account. The instruction sent as part of the nomination says "The SINP will notify CIC that you and your accompanying family members have been nominated, and CIC will contact you through your CIC account." That's why I'm holding on, I have emailed SINP for clarification too.

Thank you.

Hi...congratulations.
Please what do you mean here:

Just as most people in AVO had thought especially PNP guys, that they couldn’t have gone through the long route (PNP...lots of IELTS etc) to have to a long wait at the

And which PNP did you apply

IAMCOMING:
It is PPR (in Nairaland slang)


My PPR Story

TIMELINE
ITA: July 25th, 2018
AOR: 30th July, 2018
MEP: 21st August, 2018
PPR: 10th April, 2019
My Birthday: 11 April


Thank you Lord …. I am so relieved and grateful to God for the release from AVO!!!!!*edited*

I wish I can write so succinctly as the likes of @newmum, @tojued et al and my hubby of course…I am grateful and relieved at last to be posting this write up that I whipped up on the 28 February 2019 after reading @tojued PPR story.

Our journey started way back in 2014 when my boss said to me ‘I think you guys (me and hubby) should try this Canada thing, I am not chasing you away o’. Incidentally someone we know in our church spoke about it with us saying his family is in Canada and he will join them soon. He sent some documents and links to read up about saying we can do the application by ourselves.

I looked through the documents and links he sent, and just thought this seems like plenty work and money o, Nigeria no chase us biko. We discarded the thought and process and went on with our lives.

Fast forward to 2016, after having my two children I thought let me pursue my masters and also give my children a better and sane living environment while hubby come visiting because we assumed that the PR process was out of our league since I no gree get my masters , I dey chase man and to born … To cut the long story short so I wouldn’t bore you guys the study route didn’t work out after using an agent and spending some cool cash that could have helped in the EE process.

By 2017 we re-visited the EE process and I took my time to study the process with the help of nairaland (see I be senior here since the part 2 **sigh**. But thanks God ‘oja sope las las’). We planned to go through Ontario PNP if the score does not come down again to 413 which our score would be if we both max out IELTS.

So I took my IELTS in May 2017 (L -8.5, R – 7.0, W – 7.0 , S -7.5)
Got my ECA in September 2017
Hubby maxed his IELTS in January 2018 – Can’t remember the exact scores
CRS score – 407 in January 2018

So we updated our EE profile to wait for Ontario that never came. By March I was already so disappointed and worried that would this Canada dream ever come true. Because I know by April our score will come to 402
I started scouting for other PNPs we could apply to and found Morden Manitoba. Applied and got invited for interview, had the interview in April while waiting for their feedback. NS opened on 28 April 2018, after almost 7 hours of trying we were able to submit our application (this was the highlight of our year)
Got nominated in July 2018 after over 2 month wait, during the wait got a positive response from Morden for an explorative visit but discarded it.

Nominated – 17 July 2018
Medicals – 23 July 2018
AOR – 30 July 2018 (made sure to submit to avoid biometrics)
MEP - 21 August 2018
THEN THE DEAFENING SILENCE!!!!

Just as most people in AVO had thought especially PNP guys, that they couldn’t have gone through the long route (PNP...lots of IELTS etc) to have to a long wait at the federal level again . I prayed for and believed for a speedy process and that by Dec 2018 everything would have be completed .

My gratitude to God is mainly on the fact that he kept us sane through the waiting period.

Thanks to this thread on Nairaland….I learnt 70% of what I know about the express entry on this thread. It wasn’t an easy journey but it has ended well.

So for those still at one stage or the other, keep faith alive, it will surely happen.

In the other news, we are selling our stuff at giveaway prices, if you are in Lagos and looking to buy something in that regards please pm.

Thank you guys for reading! (Typed on the 28th February, continued on 04 March 2019 in faith and finished 11 April 2019)

If you got a full tuition waiver, you wouldn't need to show statement of account.. Confirm it's a full tuition waiver or an 'in-state' tuition waiver before making a decision..
