My fellow nairalanders. I appreciate your help so far despite the fact that I haven't really gone too far. I am just at the ECA stage and registered for ielts next month. It's with a very great sadness that I might have to pull out of this canny dream. Really sad for me.���� hubby has seriously been reluctant. Says he loves his Naija and God has not instructed him to leave Nigeria and until he receives his heavenly dream from God, he is not going anywhere. He actually said if I want to go badly, I should. But here's the problem, with 3 kids ages 5 3, and 1.5 years old. How do I cope with daycare, job search, mobility, picking up from schools, groceries, and upkeep alone in Canada. To worsen it, he isn't supporting financially. I even offered and begged to have him sit for ielts and his eca with my monthly pay he reluctantly said yes but I thought, one can only force a horse to the river but not to drink. Without his help how will I survive with 3 beautiful kids alone in Canada. He is not even batting an eye concerning the benefits. He's a speedy driver, says cars are meant for speed how will such a person cope with Canadian traffic rules. These and some little others have just weakened me especially my children and the highest I can even leave them is a week. We are that close that they have never gone to bed without my hug and kisses. I dont have any family over there to help with. Good night.

It's been a long while I have been here. Decided to share my PPR story even though I didn't get it through express entry.

I share this to encourage someone. Be patient, keep at it and God would bring your own testimony for you.

I couldn't keep up with the thread from Part 3 because my situation wasn't changing. I am pretty sure that people we started together then are well settled in Canada now. But I am just so glad that God showed up for me this way. It's only him!

WisemasterBizWd:
Hello online Fams! My question may look amateur but kindly help a brother. Am a silent reader on this thread.

Curently: Have done my ECA and will be writing my IELTS next month.

I tried to calculate my crs score with a tool. The highest I could get was 441 and I read d draw point is around 450+

How can i claim more point?
Thanks!

Jenolyfavour:
Please house, I understood also that when you reach Canada, having a Canadian certificate helps you for job search. So my question is what if one gets an online Canadian Certificate. If yes that means one can get it even before landing in Canada?

Ekeh2016:

Good evening to everyone, my eca report from Wes arrived today, please can this fly as two or more certificates because I was thinking my national diploma should also show in the summary section.... please someone should kindly clarify before someone has hypertension for nothing... it is actually ND and bsc from separate schools, not direct entry....

Favouredcanadia:
Don't be discouraged, I've practically been in your shoes. My husband vehemently refused to support me the very first times I started talking abt this EE thingy. He blatantly said I was crazy if I thought I could survive alone with the kids over there. But you know what I did? I started my ECA, did my first ielts without his support and kept gathering info about d whole process, also asking God to touch his heart. How God did it I didn't know, today my husband is the one pushing me to make head way with this journey. Sometimes he calls and say 'mama when are you talking me to Canada, the while process is taking too long'. Men sometimes can be selfish especially if they feel they have their dream job here in Nigeria. BTW, my hubby is a doctor serving in the military. Bottomline is 'never give up on your dream, no matter who is discouraging you'
NB: My findings from friends who live in Canny made me realise that a woman can actually survive alone with her kids over there, it isn't Naija where everything is hard. I've heard of some women working two jobs to enable them pay bills, I'm not encouraging you to separate from your hubby, but he can always visit you guys as long as you don't exclude him from the application.

Yes you won!!! Congratulations!!!

Thanks for sharing. Great that you did not give up. Your story is encouraging to some of us still struggling with ielts

But I'm still trying to understand your figure of speech @ bolded

You score 8.5/10

We wish you the best in Canada.

We transmitted our passports on 29/04/2019, and just today I got the COPR.
Thank you Jesus for finishing what you started. We won!!! To everyone still in wait for this, my prayer is that God will grant you the tenacity to stay strong even when the going get very tough and you will still win as well.
Please let me add here that two are better than one because they have a better reward for their labor. It wasn’t smooth sailing for me until I got my wife on the same page with me. Couples please unite together to make this dream a reality for your family. God bless!!!
A sincere appreciation goes to everyone who helped us in the course of this journey (My brother in Australia, my sister in-law in Lagos, hmm, I so much disturbed her with IELTS palaver, my dear wife, and to myself for not giving up.
Lastly, pardon my plenty grammatical errors. It took me so long to put this up, but I feel indebted to this great forum that keeps changing lives.
