Abuja and Lagos Nigeria are very hot !
I have noticed the current temperature from CNN world weather revently and Found out that both cities are above 33 to 36 degree centigrade. Hence when you compare to other hot region such as Doha and Dubai which have less temp of 20 to 28 degree.
Our government need to take note of this adverse temperature on the citizens health and well being.
With all the problems facing us as a nation , the temp is too high and when we are not in hell fire .
I recalled the last time I travelled from Toronto Pearson airport, I saw an Air quality machine inside the building , why can't our nigeria government consider this and install in our various airports or strategy locations to mitigate the effects of this hot temperature.
Please check the world weather daily and see that Nigeria lagos and abuja has the worst hot temp, God please save us!

Can I send you a pm , am interested pls

DECISION TO TRAVEL

In December 2017, my brother got his PR and this inspired my hubby and I to embark on this beautiful journey. He showed us his COPR/VISA to clear our doubt that this express entry is damn real. No time to waste as everybody don dey japa….and the state of this nation wasn’t encouraging . I don’t want my children to face all these naija wahala, the future looks scary. I had been privileged to have lived abroad before and I know how the systems works over there. So we rolled up our sleeves and started this Canada journey in 2018.

ECA (WES)

We registered for WES before they started asking for waec arround June 2018. I used etx to process my transcript, but those guys really disappointed me , story for another day. Until a friend introduced his contact person who assisted me to process my MBA transcript & verification despite ASUU strike. My spouse wes was smooth as a result of UK degree , the process was faster than mine.

IELTS
The fear of IELTS is the beginning of wisdom . I thank God for his mercy, my first & only attempt November 2018 LRWS- 8.58.578. Yayyyy oya jo soapy !!. I was so delighted with my results seeing how people are retaking the exam and the cost implications. I fear o!
However, hubby didn’t have to write IELTS because our CRS score was high enough to get us ITA.

MEDICALS:

I started calling Qlife for upfront medical December 2018, I was able to get 2 slots in February and May 2019. We later choose the February date for our upfront medical , everything went well for family of 4. The following month I got a call from Qlife if we still wanted to use the May date, I told them to give it out to another family.

PCC
We used ASP Moshood a very fine officer indeed. Spent like an hour for the whole process and we paid 10k ( 5k each for hubby and I) .

WORK REFERENCE:

My manager who is my direct supervisor gave me my job reference letter on a plain sheet in CIC format , he signed the letter and I went to notarize it. Meanwhile, the day I went to collect the letter my manager was asking me to explain how this Canada express entry works, I just smiled and we gisted about the process small. Oga sef won Japa from naija….hmmmm!

raphrulz:
Ahhh!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

The EAGLE has finally landed!!!

Now this is a script!!! My God!!

I can totally relate with every of your experience, I must acknowledge.

The feel of having a smooth Pre/post-ITA and having a very long post AOR.... The fact that not all applications are the same...

Also, what about the mental stress of waiting for so long.... Especially when there are no changes whatsoever in the application.

Mhen... such a handful to go through!

I want to use this medium to encourage people that are coming up in the process to remain positive... and above all, be very honest in your application.

Be as truthful as ever, and don't hide any vital information.

Ifeoma, I must say that I am overjoyed to witness your PPR script... and privileged to mark it....

I am sure many people would gain several lessons from your story.

Above all, thank you for sharing this good news with us.

I will rate this script 18/10..... (The makeup: 10/10 for a well worded and funny PPR script + 8 for the colossal benevolence u have extended to this group, including the body of knowledge you have shared here)

I am also happy that it was the same week as my own PPR....

I pray that the good Lord in His infinite mercy would bless you and grant you success and favour in your new land.

God bless you greatly!!

See you in Canada.

PS: I am sliding straight to your DM to get your contacts... we need to have a good barbecue outdoor event with Newmum, Joo, Ramj and many others on this Nairaland platform. The relationship has to transcend beyond here. We live to support one another

Cheers**

Inaddition to the above statements Prof.... you guys are single, you may consider making the first move advantage to ifeoma in canada. That's going to be beautiful in our eyes , lool. 
I really appreciate you guys contributions , congrats and God bless you both. Cheers alot @ifeoma77 !

Chicagomum:

Writing 9.0

Speaking 9.0

Overall 8.5

He says he wont write again is this enough?

Hello Chicagomum, kindly beg your husband to rewrite asap, his a genius with 9 in R,W,S. All he just have to do is to put more effort in his listen practice , for someone like him to have excellent scores of - 9 in ielts. Is only few people that can do that....I respect him . 
He has the potential to pass the rest even if he didn't practice them and let him face the listen only ....we would celebrate with you guys soon. Cheers!

Chicagomum:
I got 7.5 in speaking and its the maximum band i.e from 7.5 - 9 are in same band.

I want to ask for a remark of the writing.

Dear All,

Please how do I go about the NGN 15,000 payment. On BC's site it says Payable by Bankers draft addressed to British Council.
Do i go to my bank and ask for a bankers draft?

I intend to go to BC office on Monday morning to submit. Someone please help so that i can get the draft today.

Thank you for all your support and encouragement.

I am begging my husband to retake cos he is the PA.


Congrats to all who scaled through.

It will end in praise!
