*MY TESTIMONY (14th April 2019)*

If you're reading this, know I have found favour before the Almighty God.

My journey started as far back as February 2016, then it was only an idea to do a masters in Canada.
In September 2016, I started gathering documents needed to secure admission in university of Saskatchewan. To cut the long story short, I applied & wasn't shortlisted.
In 2017, I got admission to another school, that's where the emotional saga started.
I applied for my first study visa in June, was refused in August reason was insufficient funds.

Applied for second visa in October, this time I paid tuition ($7560), come December visa was refused.

I appreciate God almighty for being my Ebenezer, my glory & the lifter of my head, my strength, my peace, my provider & my supplier. My champion the host of heaven, the captain of my destiny. Words cannot describe Him, words cannot express my gratitude.

Special appreciation goes to everyone, for as many that are still waiting on God in one point or another, I pray the outstretched hand of God shows up on your case.

Sorry it’s coming late, I just got back from Accra.

All praise and glory to God who makes all things possible. It’s not my PPR yet but it’s IELTS victory and as a result, ITA is here.

On the day of the LWR exam, my seat was positioned near a candidate that could not read silently, he was also either knocking the desk with his pencil or pressing his knuckles. Two weeks later, the result came out and was LWRS 8.5 6.5 7 7.5 and I immediately went for a remark of my writing cos I was confident of what I wrote. Followed through with IDP Australia and God was by my side as my writing was upgraded. Sitting pretty on CRS 466, I got ITA yesterday.

This journey is not for the faint at heart, there were times that I thought the whole migration thing wasn’t meant for me. If u have to do it countless times, just keep at it because eventually it will pay off. Apologies for the long post ooooo

Many women on the thread have been in this position. I had to process my hubby's ECA on his behalf. He didn't lift a finger. He eventually grudgingly wrote IELTS. Now he's the one asking how far with our application every week.

Hello, Good day. What do you think will be my NOC number. Here is my JD.

Stencil:
The F1 visa has its pros and cons.
I won't list the Pros. I want to concentrate on a FEW of the cons
STEM majors can get 2 years OPT after graduation. Non-STEM majors get one year.
In those one or two years, you have about three options.
1. Find an employer to sponsor your H1B
2. Get married to an American
3. Get back into school, just to maintain your status.

Option three is like an endless cycle whilst you wait for option one to happen. If you are lucky enough to get a sponsor, you'd have to deal with the H1B lottery and then renewals etc.

Now when it comes to my homeland Canada, I could say a lot here but let me sum it up. You don't have to deal with any of that.

Praying for you. You are doing the right thing by starting the process. Don't worry, he will catch on later once he sees how much you have progressed.

1. The section for adding your child will show after ITA so it's normal

DadR:
Hey guys,

For those who have done IELTS CBT, could you please recommend a good website that simulates the real test, for practice?

Thanks.

I got ita on 1st may.while filling the forms afterwards,i was asked if i have a child(as at when i was filling my exp entry profile;i didnt have a child);i picked yes.

Its COPR!
#teamsilentreaders

So, sometime in 2017 a friend of mine mentioned Express Entry to me. For some weird reason, relocation was never a topic in my home. I told her all these travelling matters are always a long thing. (Some canadian lawyer had quoted one ridiculous amount years before when I just enquired for fun as it popped up on my Facebook timeline so I don free my mind)
She said it was super easy and said just write ielts first..."you will pass, it is just english" she said.
I did not research further and just went ahead to register the boo and I.
IELTS- Result came out LRWS 8.5, 8.5, 8, 7.5

ECA- She said "do WES" Meanwhile a colleague of mine had just "tissued" (left the country for...wait for it .....canada!) Realised lots of people had left, I apparently had my nose in the sand all the while.
Anyway, NASU strike delayed WES for months but eventually they came through.
Went back to friend and asked "So what next?"
She said to create profile...I did with the help of another beautiful colleague of mine. CRS 451, few days later, friend called congratulating me...I was confused!
Said there was a draw at 444 (ITA JUNE 25, 2018-did not even know to monitor for a draw�)
I was excited but not fully because POF for my family of 4 was not ready.
Needed a couple more months for pof to be complete. (Just assumed I needed 10m, not sure where that thought came from)

Friend said to do a gift deed, decided not to bother.

Read somewhere application was now 60 days and not 90days any longer. Prayed earnestly for a miracle and when 60days was drawing close, decided to decline the invitation. Logged in to decline and saw that I had over 30days to submit, apparently the change to 60days was made a day after my ITA.
I was super excited!
Did all the doables
Medicals- qlife (had booked earlier) and somewhere in the middle east for bae (this was expensive mehn, flight and all...Lagos people we are enjoying)
Pcc- used Mr Abass- got his contact on the whatsapp group my dear colleague had added me to. 8k for both of us

POF- treasury bills, mutual funds, savings account, some small investment savings/products + pension funds. Over Pof was now "worrying me" (I had forgotten all these investments when I was worrying...smh)- these matured and were rolled over without informing IRCC

Friend mentioned a nairaland group, visited briefly and could not make out a lot of things and decided to take a step back (funny as I love to read, just could not deal on that day)

Work reference letter- typed and gave HR and was signed and stamped. It was a bit blurry as I was sort of self employed but had the HR of the company we were created under (long story) sign the letter.

AOR- 16th September

Submitted then came back to read this group.
There and then, some errors I had made started surfacing.
Raised a CSE shortly after for a trip I had omitted on an old passport

Raised another when I felt I had chosen a wrong NOC for spouse

Was so paranoid.

Learnt we were to upload fingerprint pages we did during PCC applications, I only uploaded the certificate

Learnt not declaring side hustle could be seen as misrepresentation, etcetera.
Hey! It was not funny.
Eventually decided to keep the prayers up and leave God to do His thing.

MEP/BIL came on 11th October
RPRF request was seen 27th October. Paid the next day.
Was so sure I was close...IRCC had other plans.
I had decided I won't ask for my VO, request GCMS notes or anything.
Just wait patiently for PPR.
Hmm...
My mind no gree me.
Kept thinking about the last amount paid into my account and how I didn't explain it.
How I did not show the source of the 'monies' for tbills and all.
How google will expose me and my not-so-side business
I now got "How to get a job in Canada" mail, figured I had been moved to London VO as was assumed here in those days.

Anyway, joined an absolutely amazing WhatsApp group....the best ever! (I was in one that had people of different nationalities but the pressure here was too much....permutations, assumptions, questions, once I saw a link here, I joined and left the other Choose Peace!�) Created for October AOR but they accepted September somebody like me � and group was renamed ��

When I hit 5months post aor, decided to call CIC, agent was nice, told me eligibility was met but Criminality and Security not started. Told me to only call back if by end of May I did not get my Ppr (shuoo?! End of May kwa?) I thanked him and decided to wait till the 6-month mark. Oh, found out Visa office was Ottawa too.

6 months came and went unceremoniously. My amazing friends in my group were so sweet and encouraging.
The Lord told me not to worry. Held on to that and decided not to call or mail Ralph or anything...till 7/8months.
I was in IP2 from aor and had gone back to IP1 after biometrics/rprf (not sure now)
So I was waiting for IP2 mail. I wasn't checking my profile too regularly either.

4th of April, needed to check the time when I woke up and saw the email icon on my screen, swiped down to check time and saw "Ready for Visa" mail...to be honest I was NOT expecting it.
Also noticed background check was now in progress.
Mail came in again next day (wish I could give one out)

AOR-PPR- 6 months and 20days!

Submitted 8th and Copr received 30th
It has ended in praise
(This was the abridged version)
I want to give ALL the glory to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!
I pray we all share testimonies soon especially EVERYONE in my Sept/October AOR group.

P.S. please read and read. Gulped down so much from here and the sister thread.
Try not to be scared...let people's stories of their challenges drive you to do all you can and not into fear.
God will come through for us all.
Thank you everyone helping out here- God bless you!

For the Nigerian PCC, are we also supposed to upload the finger print application forms for e-APR? I uploaded only the pink colored certificate. Should I raise a CSE?
