Part 2
Sorry I forgot to mention
Medicals.
It was at IOM Ikeja . Was very stressful and tiring.
The wait begins
After submitting and paying all required fees. The wait began to see if there was going to be any change.
It was more or less like a ritual for me.
I check my profile in the morning and before I go to bed. And I was constantly on this thread following and reading people's gist
There was nothing eventful; Until February 6 2019 when I got a biometric Invitation letter.
Did my biometrics and started another round of
waiting....
Adding Spouse
Whilst going through the process I proposed to my wife. She was never pro Canada at all; She over believed in Nigeria but God helped me change her mind....
My siblings had been asking us how far that is she coming along with me to Canada; I said yes but will probably do d spousal sponsorship thing and all.
But I didnt know how i would survive leaving madam behind if eventually d PR comes
So one night while discussing we decided to research on adding spouse after AOR.
We saw the different options (the internet is a fantastic place).
Then it hit me, we had to get married and do it fast before PPR
This was in April; So after getting the consent from our parents we went and got married at a registry on the 8th of May. And I raised CSE immediately
Pay attention it gets interesting from here
PPR 1.0
I hardly check my mails and I solely depended on the info on my profile.. (people always check your mails o).
I got a response on the 13th of May and the response was I requested to add spouse after PPR had bn sent

PPR(when,how) Abi these ones are sleeping nii..
I sha sent a mail to tell them I am not understanding and they should not make my head turnoniown
Then sth told me to check my mail. Alas I saw it. Looks like your visa has been issued date May 7 2019. I got married and raised CSE May 8 2019. Totally oblivious of the fact. God really loves me cos I am 1000%sure I wouldnt have checked the mail in the 15 days i would be given to present my passport
The response I got was to submit additional documents for my babe.

Village People 2.0
My Babe was caught in the passport brouhaha of no booklet etc (one of d many reasons to leave d country)
It took us over a month to get it and we had to settle ooo
But at that point we didnt care as we had just 30 days to submit her documents
We got all the information needed from this thread. We sent all her documents added pictures, whatsapp messages. We sha sent everything that will prove beyond any doubt that our relationship was genuine.
We submitted and started another round of waiting..
Submitted last week of May and paid her fees.
Meanwhile we had bn confessing daily that our PR process will be seamless. No interview. No ADR. No updated POF...
We just kept confessing
Almighty Accra.
I was bored at work one day and decided to ask where our VO was. When d babe told me Accra ehn. From Ottawa to Accra ke. After all d Accra gists.
Our hearts sank.. but we still kept confessing; that ours will be seamless.
My people there is power in confessions oooop; I then mailed Accra. They responded that our file was in a queue

Last week Friday. I received a mail for biometrics for my babe..
She went for it on Tuesday
PPR came out Thursday
I submitted passports Friday...
No ADR whatsoever
I skipped some parts sef..
But my people keep hope alive
Thank God for all situations you are in. And never stop confessing
