slydog:

Read your ppr story, how has life been in Canada so far?

Its been fabulous to be honest.. I guess my destiny was outside Naija afterall. Achieved in less than 2yrs what would have taken me almost 10yrs or more if I were back home in Nigeria. All in all it is a good land with its own challenges.. But I assure you it is not insaumountable. Good luck to every one in this journey.

My sister if in you Customer service you have been in a supervisory role, it automatically changes the skill level C to B. and hopefully you have had at least 1yr of supervisory experience in Customer service. I can confidently tell you this because my friend used same. May this Canada journey favor you. Cheers
Bubblefairy:
Sincere appreciation to everyone contributing immensely on this topic, you guys are really wonderful.

I have been on the fence for a while if I should go for the Express entry or not, but seeing all the success stories, tenacity and willingness to help of people on the thread from part 1-6, I have decided to go for it head-on.

My only weakness is that I have a NOC skill level C (customer service) for the job I do full-time, which is not eligible for Express entry......... Now, I have a catering business on the side which I am into as a baker NOC skill level B eligible for EE.
My question is this; how can I use the eligible occupation as I have not registered the business nor do I have any documents showing proof of ownership.
Thanks.

Congratulations Wenks, i wish you a safe journey to Canada

My wife is a Fashion Designer with 5 years work experience, she also has Bsc and Msc in Educational Management. I only have Bsc and have worked as an IT person and Educational consultant in the last 2 years also as i didnt serve early. Who do you advice to be the primary applicant? and whats the NOC code for Fashion Designers? Thank you



5243 Theatre, fashion, exhibit and other creative designers - Skill level B.. So if she is younger, can get reference letter from the company she worked with stating her fashion designing roles, then by all means make her the primary applicant especially bc of her masters degree which she already has.. And she can claim 3+ years of foreign work experience. I think based on what you typed and if she meets some of the conditions i mentioned earlier, she stands a better chance being the primary applicant and giving you better CRS scores.

KPOR KPOR KPOR!!!!!! PPR E YAF LAND OOOO...LEMME SETTLE AND ARRANGE THE TORY WELL..HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

AOR: JUL 30TH
PPR: JAN 7TH (from NEWDHELI VO)

The Decision...
This journey started in 2017 when my family talked to me about considering the relocation thingy and that was how we started o. From Uniben transcript wahala to WES ECA to IELTS (kai this one humble me)..God was indeed faithful to us.

IELTS...
Wify and I wrote IELTS in 2017, and i had LRSW - 6.5,9,8,7. I felt so bad because I thought it was going to be a walk in the park. Wify had an average band of 7 which was all she needed. Na so I start to jack like who dey prepare for war o because after the month i selected to write, there was going to be an increase in BC IELTS costs which was not readily available. So the D-day came and when the result came out I can still remember how tears blurred my eyes as I checked my result on my way to the office while inside Danfo. I had made it and LRSW became 8.5,8,8,7.5 which brought our CRS score to 456 thanks to sibling in Cani points.


ITA in the bag...
As expected the wave ITA released on June 25th, 2018 swept me off my fit like kilode!! and so the race to submit in time and avoid mistakes commenced.

NOC Mama @Newmum....
This lady is something else.. she helped me fine tune my JDs well and boy it was impressive. I had an interesting case because my company actually had me loaned to the client for which I had been working and so the ref letter had to come from my supervisor at the client office. Thanks @Newmum


POF
In this I saw the hand of baba God as my POF was not complete until the last day I was to submit my application. I wanted to beat the bio-metric requirement but forwhere..CIC catch me for front. I used gift deeds from both my parents, added 6 months bank statement with Payslips and packaged the doc to upload in my CIC account. So my ppl do not be afraid to have huge sums enter your account at once. So long you can satisfactorily explain that it is yours, you got no problem.


The wait...
See me see CIC o.. 3months after Jul 31st, 2018 AOR and my medical status was yet to be updated. Omo I wan faint. In that same period Oga Ralph Goodale was being kind and I made use of his service and voila, Med got updated on the 14th of October which also saw my AOR date change to Jul 30th, 2018. By 15th October I got Bio-metrics payment letter which I did same day and by 16th October I got the Request letter telling me to go carry out Bio-metrics. I did that on the 17th of October and by 18th of October, Bio metrics was marked complete. Then another wait o......fast-forward to Dec 7th, I got ADR request for sibling in canada residence information. I submitted on the 8th of Dec but omo these guys no gree o.. Got another ADR on the 14th of Dec for the same ADR..my brethren I added all the addables this time o just to avoid any other ADRs. Lo and Behold my application status for ADR got updated on the 17th of Dec and by Dec 18th I got ghost update.


The final days..
there was this trend of ppl getting their files approved but not getting PPR until they sent a mail to NEWDHELI office especially after finding out their files had been approved. Na so me sef shook head o after confirming on the 27th of Dec from a CIC agent that my file had been completed since on the 18th of Dec. So I sent a mail to NewDheli office on the 31st of Dec 2018 stating what the agent told me.. My people na so I wake up this morning 7th Januray 2019 to Passport Request from NewDheli which entered my mail box around 5:30am Naija time. I SHOUTED!!! This startled Wify and when I told her..Omo madame shout make my own shout sound like learner..lol..I have now sent a mail requesting a re-issue of my PPR letter to Accra.

It has been a heart banging journey but Baba God has been with us all through. I am happy.
My ppl...God don arrange my level..the food done well....

cocococo:
Must everybody go to Canada? The craze is becoming too much. Canada, Canada, Canada! Some people will be writing IELTS up to 10 times all in the name of I must leave this country! The ones that manage to pass will run here and be saying, ‘Thank God I finally made it!’. While those that finally get the PPR will not let us hear word, be quoting different dates of the stages, like I care!
You guys are the ones making these developed countries look down on us! IELTS is making the standard of exam more difficult day be day, WES is adding WAEC for ECA, IRCC is increasing minimum POF and cost of application fee! But we are still patronizing them, pumping the money into their economy! By the time you reach there with all the funds you are taking into Canada, you have pumped so much money into a foreign country, money that you cannot generate and send back into your own country Nigeria from where the funds came out from, thus depleting our country of resources.

What you have said may be the case in this scenario. But I know two persons including myself who got UCI updates since August 30 without MEP even till now and no Schedule A form has been requested.
smslive2:
The reason why you didnt get MEP was because the application is not complete yet and thats why you got ADR. You need to fill and submit your schedule A asap so that the application can move forward.

@Newmum and all the senior apostles in the assembly...I caould not hold myself again o..lol.

So I submitted my PR application on Jul 31st( 1am naija time) which was still 30th July (Canada time). Even though it stated that biometric will be required as from Jul 31st, when I was paying my application fee, Biometric fee wasn't included so i just went on to pay like that.

I got AOR within 20mins of paying and waited. After waiting for 30days I got an update mail and checked my account only to see that it was only my UCI number that got updated. Up until now(47days and counting) no MEP, Biometric letter or any other update aside that initial UCI status update.

I am almost going gaga...loool..I need assurance o..anybori..sombori...

Welcome sister. There is an application fee of N600,000 you pay before you can start the procedure. It is termed 'Page 1 exemption fee'. Pay via Remita, collect your code and send via PM to @Elfmannisback and @mcstan18. They are the Treasurers of IRCC office. They will issue you a receipt, then you can use that one to collect your number tag for visa stamping. Visa stamping takes place in my house on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Stamping fee is N300,000 per family member above 18, children below 18 years is N299,500. For single men, it is N450,000 (why you never marry since? angry) After that, you can travel to Canada and file for citizenship immediately. Very easy process. Start now!

Yeap I am in a similar situation. However I got a letter of intro from my company A stating i was on secondment to company B and that my supervisor in company B would issue my reference letter. So my supervisor in company B issues me a ref letter in plain A4 paper as company B do not issue Letter heads to contractors. So instead i got a letter of introduction from company B introducing my supervisor as a staff of company B hence the validity of the reference. I added payslips from company A (since they manage my salaries) and then my ID card from company B which has contractor designation on it. In the end just make sure it is easily understood. They are aware of processes like this.
LaDuchesse:


On reference letters. I worked as a contract staff in company B on secondment from company A. The reference letter i got was from company A stating that i was their staff with no mention of company B. My employment letter however states that i was employed to be on secondment to company B. Is the refence letter okay or do i need to contact company A to include it( I dont know if thy would re-issue). My concerns are:

1. If I have an ADR for employment letters, would this be termed as a misrepresentation?

2. On linkedin i have no single connection from company A staff, but i have a couple from company B. Could this raise a flag.

Anyone with similar experience or advice is welcome. Thanks
