Wendyna:


Like you rightly said, it's discretioal to the VO. I have a colleague who used almost 40% of his POF from RSA. It was approved. Same IBTC PFA.
It's actually safe to always have a buffer and not rely entirely on the pension funds.

How far with your application? Did you get the nomination?

I am still waiting...

Naughtyvirgin:
1) Is there anyone with an idea of the maximum time frame Nipost gets a transcript package delivered to Wes. Mine has been sent since on the 8th of Feb and the worst scenario is I can't even track it.

2)Can I switch to a better courier without incurring another transcript fee? (Unilag). I know I'll pay for the courier though.

I don't know about unilag, but my school, I payed another one. Unless if the transcript was give to you though l.

Be wise enough to delete this post

Lagosbred:


Will edit the post later because of eagle eyes

Thanks bro, I guess I don't have a choice either.

Good morning beautiful souls. Please I'm trying to create an express entry profile for my husband and I want to know if I'm doing it right because His ECA came out today and he has ielts already. My questions are
1) I'm trying to click save and exit but it's not going. I've clicked over 10 times. I also clicked check for completeness but to no avail. What I'm I doing wrong?
2) After my ECA comes out and I write ielts exam, can I also enter the pool ?
3) Is that screenshot same for everyone.
Th nks in anticipation.

Click on the ID Documents - Summary it shows incomplete, either you haven't answered anything or completed an entry for the passport etc.

I used wes and it took four weeks.

kams19:

PPR AND LANDING GIST

WES
We evaluated our WES with no much hassle, applied to our (my husband and I) schools and it was sent and evaluated in less than two months. I must say the wait felt very long, I will read stories of those who got evaluated and within shorter periods and I will worry about ours, my husband’s report came before mine and it made me worry more but finally it all came in. We only evaluated our master’s degrees.

IELTS
While we were waiting for our evaluation report from WES, we wrote our IELTS, my hubby had a band 7 and I had a band 8, I was the primary applicant so it was fine.



PCC
Nigeria, Benin Republic, UK and Israel.

ITA
We received ITA on 19th September 2019, we already had all our documents ready, so immediately we received ITA we requested bank statement, filled the forms and submitted our documents on 21st September 2019 after rechecking several times. Left for me, I wanted us to submit our documents the next day, that’s how prepared we were but my husband insisted we go over the documents again.
The only document we did not submit was my Israeli Police Report because; the document is sent directly to IRCC from the Israeli Embassy, I did not get to see it but I included a letter of explanation stating the document was with the embassy and they should advice how I can send it over.

POST AOR
I was worried because my work history was a bit complicated but since I only used one work experience to garner points, I was praying that they wouldn’t have to look into the others. We joined several post AOR groups and watched everyone receive MEP/BIL request except us, I was worried (again), what was happening, I thought we didn’t pass R10 check, hian, I started researching (research is my second name). By the end of October, we asked my friend in Canada to call and find out how we could submit my Israeli Police Report because we suspected that maybe the delay and also inquire if there was any issue with the application. He said it was still under going review but we were still not comfortable so after some research online, we requested the Israeli Embassy to send it to IRCC and add my application number. As soon as I got confirmation of delivery, I sent the confirmation via webform and the next day we got an acknowledgement and MEP/BIL on 19th November 2020. Our joy knew no bound we were so excited, my husband had traveled but returned the next day and we did our biometrics on 21st November, 2020. We were so sure all was good now and we could get our PPR anytime soon (YIMU).
In December, we called and found out our VO was Accra, I was so devastated, I was weak, disappointed, sad, name it. In January we requested our first GCMS notes to find out why we were sent to Accra but there was nothing in particular. By February PPR no show, March nothing, timeline bar finished and nothing. COVID was already gaining wave and before we could say Jack Robinson everything was on halt and travel restrictions were put in place.

LONG SILENCE

By this time I was already pregnant and was hopeful that before its time for delivery we would get PPR and we can take any evacuation flight to Canada. We applied for our second GCMS notes, I think by June or July and we had redacted information and all then our third GCMS, it was received in August and after reading through thoroughly we noticed we had interview recommended and I gave up hope on getting PPR before I deliver. I delivered in October and by mid November we had almost everything needed but medical to add our baby to the application, I was not in a hurry because I assumed we would travel to Accra next year (2021) for the interview but my husband wanted everything done fast fast and the baby be added quickly. Mind you, by this time people were already receiving PPR. We submitted the baby’s documents via webform and email on 19th November 2020 and scheduled medical for 21st December 2020 because we were not leaving in Abuja or Lagos so we had to travel to Abuja for Medical. Somewhere along the line, I noticed our medical, which expired first week of September, was extended on 30th October 2020.

FIRST PPR
On 23rd November, 2020, I woke up as usual checked the group and saw people getting PPR, I was excited for them and congratulated them, then I proceeded to check my email (I always check my mails when I wake up just out of habit) to my greatest shock I saw the PPR email, I had a mixed reaction, I was excited because we had been approved but was sad my baby was not added yet. We immediately pushed her medical for 1st December 2020 and traveled to Abuja, we did medical as scheduled and on 2nd December 2020 her medical was passed and she was added to our application, a nice and helpful fellow from one of the groups we were part of, advised us to submit our Passport and documents for stamping since we were still within the 30 days of PPR which we did.
Passports were submitted via VFS Abuja on 7th December, we only received the first email that it was in transit to IRCC and after that nothing else.

SILENCE

SECOND PPR
On 19th December, we received remedical request, for hubby and I, we did it on 30th December 2020 after so much pleading for the earliest date because they initially gave us 18th January 2021 (this is another story). Our medical was passed on 1st January, we were happy and on 8th January 2021 we received second PPR, which was so confusing, we did not know what to do. Called IRCC, they were of no help, we raised a webform to Accra on 20th January and explained the whole situation we got a response same day saying the second PPR was sent in error and we should ignore it. On 22nd January my husband checked our profile and it was approved counterfoil issued. Our joy was great, we were just praising and thanking God.
Then VFS wahala, miscommunication and rubbish service, they kept saying our passports were still with IRCC and not with them but we finally got it on 9th February 2021.

LANDING GIST
We initially had plans to travel on 17th February through Abuja because we have family there and it would be less stressful but we were already reading stories of Ethiopian airlines not carrying POST MARCH in Abuja, so we decided to book Egypt Air Abuja for 14th February. After calling their office, they requested for our visa and said it was not valid for travel at that time, as we would have issues in Cairo. As God will have it, a lady from one of the groups advised us to book with Ethiopian airlines Lagos for 15th February, we were not sure about it but went ahead and booked our tickets at an exorbitant price because we booked on 13th February. Since we were not sure if ET would fly us we did not sell our properties, we just arranged what we could and left for Lagos on 14th February, got a hotel close to the airport and left for the airport the next day as early as 7am. Our flight was set to depart by 1.40pm, we checked in successfully and got our boarding pass no much stress, we did not have excess luggage our items were just according to our size.

We boarded and took off, some minutes after take off we were given a bassinet for our baby, which was helpful, she slept, all was good and we landed Addis Ababa. After a few hours we boarded and took off for Toronto. The flight was annoyingly long, 16hrs plus, I barely slept or watched a movie because of my baby. We arrived Toronto and officials asked those with connecting flights to disembark first, we proceeded to immigration, the lady was nice and fast and in less than 10mins we were done, she asked for our address for PR, we didn’t have one so she gave us a form to fill and that was it. I was still in disbelieve because I expected the process to be tedious and long. Our bags were not checked no questions asked, we got two WELCOME TO CANADA.

We collected our luggage and checked in at Air Canada to Edmonton, we still had some hours to spare so we had tea at Starbucks and later lunch. We arrived Edmonton in the evening, took an airport taxi to our Airbnb were we are currently under quarantine.

The whole journey was long, stressful, time and money consuming; there were times when I was like damn the whole thing and then boom something encouraging will happen. I am just grateful to God for everything. I know I missed out a lot of things; it was such a long time but you can ask questions and I will help as much as I can.

Congratulations Setf , I enjoyed reading your story. May Canada be nice to you and your family.

Congratulations @Setf. May the land favor you and yours.

I woke up to my profile in the pool and no longer pending. Those with the profile pending can check theirs.

Congrats to you and the family Setf. You've conquered and thanks for the gist. Quite encouraging for some of us that there's light at the end of this tunnel. Also interesting to know that somehow, people are still finding a way to sneak out.

On a very light side, IRCC might be codedly teaching you patience and how not to worry over nothing. Those guys are something else!

I created mine yesterday and all seems to work fine. can you send a screenshot?

Okay, thanks.

PCC
Nigeria, Benin Republic, UK and Israel.

Please I’ll like to ask regarding PCC, were you born in Benin Republic? I asked because on IRCC’s website here -

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/benin.html

It is stated that there that police certificates are only available to applicants born in Benin.

I actually schooled there and want to know if it’s compulsory for me to get one.

Would appreciate your response, thanks.

I enjoyed this story so much. Just wondering why Ethiopian air is now mandating letter of authorisation before travelling.

also, how will you handle your properties you left behind

Just request another transcript and send through private courier services. My transcript was in school for 3 months before I was informed that Nipost stopped picking transcripts for delivery.

Good day house, Please I created my express entry profile 4 days ago for Federal Skilled Worker but its still yet to reflect. It is still saying PENDING.

How long does it normally take for it to reflect and be in the pool?

Can this be as a result of the multiple applications they are attending to ?

Any suggestions on what I need to do ?

A reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

From people with similar experience, it takes about 9 to 10 days after creation of the profile for it to lose its pending status.

Before we go too far let me book space here for my ITA and consequent AOR.

The booking don tey, no ITA or AOR yet.
In the words of someone, "One day.. one fine day.. you'll be sitting in your own house in CANADA... Enjoying the snow outside while having a cup of coffee... You'll look back to the struggle.. you are going through at the moment and realise how far you have come.. and it will bring a decent smile on your face.
Don't lose hope guys.. maybe not today.. but surely.. ONE FINE DAY."
