Why do a 1year Tbills for a 6 month visa application? What would the VO think? Of course technically you can liquidate anytime but the VO has to be assured that the Tbills are accessible to you and the funds are solely planned for that purpose, a 1yr Tbills doesn't exactly show that at surface glance. Might create doubts in the mind of the VO. manlikegb: 1 Like |

ladymarshall: Lol @ladymarshall just saw your mention. So full details below. Forgive me in advance, I am not a good story teller. A friend of mine told me about EE way back in 2016 but I was tied up with other activities, so decided to shelve the idea for another time. Fast forward to end of 2017, I had experienced so many set backs but I was determined to get a new lease of life and soldier on. I registered for IELTS in Dec, wrote the exam in Jan in Accra (I was moving around a lot at the time). Locked down IELTS at that first go, did my ECA with WES, it was easy breezy. Had my evaluation completed in under a month (evaluated only a foreign masters), ITA came in Mar, 18, AOR: May 21st, 2018 Then it was SILENCE! No communication apart from "how to get a job" email in June 18. I registered and attended a Welcome to Canada session in July 18. Got the 'how to get a job email' early June and since it was usually speculated then that this email usually came from London VO, I decided to lock up for the next six months been aware of how unpredictable London used to be and carry on with my life. I actually prayed against my application going to London but I suspected there was a high possibility it would end up there. When my Application passed the 6 month point, I filled a web form in Nov, 18 asking for my visa Office, but I never got a response, finally decided to order GCMS notes on 19th Dec, 18. Tried calling IRCC a couple of times but I was never put through to an agent. On the 28th of Dec 18, I decided to call them at 8am Toronto time and was successfully put through to an agent who informed me my file was in Accra!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Received the notes on 18th Jan 19. Notes showed my file was transferred to Accra in June 18, that was the last time any thing was done on the file apart from the records of my web form request which was never responded to, phone calls made and request for the notes, nothing was amiss. Just that checks had not been started. However the notes showed my employer had been contacted and bank statement checked. In fact to say I was at a loss as to what to do is an understatement. Different scenarios just kept running in my mind; what if a decision wasn't made till my medicals expired (medicals wer due to expire April, 19)? I even asked the question on here on the process for redoing medicals. I sent Mr Goodale an email on 7th Feb 19, got response 15th Feb that they were busy and will get back to me but nothing till date. On 8th Feb, I got an update On my CIC account for ADR(schedule A, form imm 5406, updated POF statement and Salary account statements). I had submitted my application with 5 months pay slips along with my reference letter which was noted in my GCMS notes. So getting an adr for salary account statements was a bit odd, I didn't even know how far back they wanted the statement for as no time ranges were given. At the point of this ADR I had left the job I claimed points for over a year and I had worked on the job for about 4.5years. So decided to send them salary account statements for my last one year at the org. I gathered all docs and submitted on Feb 11th, 19. Summary of dates; IELTS: 20/1/2018 LRWS 8, 8.5,7.5,7 ECA completed: Feb 2018 ITA: 14/3/18, CRS 465, cut off was 456 Medicals: 25/4/18 AOR: 21/5/18 MEP: 6/6/18 CSE: raised to submit new passport Dec 2018, as passport was expiring Jan 2019 ADR: 8/2/19 (form 5406, form 5669 , updated POF and Salary account statement) Submitted ADR: 11/2/19 Remedicals: 25/3/19. Original medicals was due to expire on 25/4/19 but decided to be proactive and do remdecials without IRCC asking for it as I did not want stories that touch. Because with just a month to medicals expiry, there was no way I will travel by thn even if PPR came in the day I did the remedicals PPR: 3/4/19 Couriered received in Lagos: 11/4/19 COPR: 25/4/19 (just randomly checked my CIC account and noticed a counterfoil doc number, got notification from CIC on 26/4/19). Interestingly this this counterfoil was due to expire on 29/4/19, 4 days after issuance, which means the CSE I had raised to submit the medical form after the re-medicals nor the panel physician's submissions were not noted. Ah confusion set in, I did not have the slightest Idea on what to do, but the AVO whatsapp group came in handy. I was asked to write accra as well as raise a CSE and also call up the panel physician to confirm again that they sent my report. My people this was on a Thursday night, counterfoil was due to expire on Monday, I just jumped on Canadavisa forum as well just to get as much information as possible, I read of people ho were even sent expired counterfoils so decided to calm down. I quickly wrote a strongly worded email to Accra copying in Sydney and Ottawa asking for my file to be checked for my re-medicals. Meanwhile I was also hoping my passport won't be returned till this was sorted, as I would have to pay again for courier and passport transmission. Well, my passport and docs arrived on Monday (29th), see I couldn't even cry. I wondered at the speed the documents got back to me, since COPR was only issued on the 25th. Accra is full of wonders!!! 2nd PPR: 30/5/19 My CSE raised for on the 25th was responded to on 3rd May. Jokers!!!! 2nd COPR: 22/5/19. After 366 days, it ended in PRAISE!!! Documents submitted: -passports with stamp pages - Employment letter in CIC format and 5 months payment slips (NOC code 4163) - POF: 6 months bank statement, updated to 15 months by ADR - 2 PCCs (Nigeria and UK) - uploaded passport photo - ADR (form 5406, form 5669, updated POF and Salary account statement) After PPR - Form IMM008 (though no chnage in family composition, I no like wahala o) - passport photos from Studio 24, they already have the specifications so did not need to do any measuring permutations and combinations - travel document (if anyone does a re-medicals whether by reason of an ADR or being proactive, please make sure you include the medical form given to you by the panel physician, I think this was my undoing with my first document submission. Despite the fact that I had raised a CSE when it was done and the panel physician also sent their submissions, I am sure if I had included it with my docs it would have saved me a lot of time and resources) Can't remember other things. I raised 2 LOEs which was to inform my bank do not issue letter in CIC format, which meant I submitted statements downloaded from my internet banking platform for submission for both initial application submission and ADR request I have not fully reacted to getting COPR yet. It has been a long process. I don't even know which is more draining: waiting for PPR or those short weeks between PPR and COPR, imagine having to wait twice! Below is my rough estimated costs on this journey so far, know the journey has not ended lol. I will put it in all different currencies I used ( rememeber I mentioned at the beginning of the journey I was literally a nomad): IELTS: £169, TRF courier CFA 20,000 ECA: CAN$233 Nigeria PCC: 10,000NGN (oga Moshood had a field day). I was away from the country at the time so had to finger print and courier to him. Courier cost: CFA20,000 PCC UK: £55 Medicals at IOM: 41,400NGN *2 POF: single applicant but showed funds for family of 2 RFRP: CAN$ 1,040 Passport Renewal: 25,000NGN GCMS notes: US$15 Passport transmission + courier: 30,480 * 2 I have not even included flight fares as my city does not have a panel physician ![]() Reason I have decided to include these costs is to give newbies an idea of what it entails. The process is not particularly cheap but it is sure worth it. At least I have secured a better future for my unborn kids by God's grace and to some extend my immediate family. People constantly come on this thread and ask why people with good and well paying jobs are leaving, my constant thoughts are; the good jobs or money can't save you in this country if push comes to shove. I remember a friend's father died from preventive causes the afternoon of the day I submitted my application which was a compelling factor to submit it that day although I still wanted a day or two to still go over it before submitting, but the news shook me to my core. I want my kids to not have to struggle for the bare necessities of daily living and have access to the basics at least of life when it really matters, God keeping us all. So most times when people leave a job paying in high 6 figures for instance to migrant it is mostly planning for the future, giving kids more opportunities that broadens their chances in life as well as peace of mind for daily living; for instance I have been running on generator for almost 4 weeks as 'transformer don spoil', even when it was good I barely had 6 hours electricity daily, this is not living! my final thoughts, keep busy while waiting. Don't put your life on hold, keep moving. I have changed jobs and moved cities in the course of this process, I know it is easier said than done for most people. Also be straight forward, keep your application simple. This thread is a goldmine and I tell people that if I direct them to this thread to DIY and they still require my assistance, they will have to pay for such services. This remains one of the most straight forward immigrant processes i have seen so far. 100 Likes 10 Shares |

Just curious, Why do you guys fret over finding out your application file is in Accra? I understand couples may need to undergo an interview there, but I have read uncountable PPR stories of single applicants 'crying heaven and earth' over finding out there files are in Accra. What happens in that place exactly that gives you people sleepless nights. I'd like to know. Please enlighten me. 1 Like |
