Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pray Accra gets to speed and complete everyone's application soonest IJN.
@ Egrace the snow for this side na clear at all at all
OUR LANDING EXPERIENCE We got to MMA at about 6:30pm to catch our 10:40pm Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt with 4bags, 1 Ghana must go containing most cherished food (38kg), 2 hand luggage, 1 back pack for laptop but contains lots for books and photo and my baby pushchair.
At check-in: after weighing my bags I was told 2 are ok to go but the rest are in excess weight and I have two options, pay for extra bag $263 or pay for excess weight of 9kg ie 32kg instead of 23kg $150 but I did not take any of their options as I got help from one of those guys you see at the airport offering to help, who re-arranged all bags to fit except that I had to drop off 3 packs for Garri i.e 1and ˝ basket.
At Custom: First bag was open therefore they ask for the bag that contains food stuff and the normal gist follow una know wetin I dey yan about naaaaa, then my bags were good to go. Fully armed with boarding passes for Lagos, Frankfurt and Calgary went for boarding.
At immigration: Declaration cards filled and handed over with passports, passport stamped, body and hand luggage was scanned therefore proceeded to boarding gate where we were given preferential treatment bcos of our baby. In flight service was very good; we were given bed for our baby after take-off and we arrived Frankfurt 10mins later cos we had 20 mins delay in Lagos, with no immigration to clear we went straight to gate 44 where we are to board another flight in 6hrs time to Calgary, flight to Calgary was 9hrs. We were given a landing declaration form on board to fill, the card can serve a max of 4 person as long they are using same address (i.e family of 4).
LANDING PROPER At CBSA (CUSTOM): I handed over passports & declaration card, the young Canadian girl asked if I have goods to follow said NO, ask about what I had as I ticked YES to one of the questions told her it dry vegetable (bitter leaf) and she asked if its spices or use for cooking told her both, our declaration card was stamped and she asked us to proceed to immigration.
At Immigration: We had to queue up here no special treatment even when our baby was crying, we had to wait for our turn with 11 persons ahead of us and another flight to catch in less than 2 hrs, actually chose this flight because I thinking I can do landing at Edmonton BUT landing is done at first point of entering and luggage collected and re checked –in if you have another flight. After about 1hr 20mins wait its get to our turn, questions like ‘'DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILD ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD NOT LIST IN COPR & ANY POLICE PROBLEM'' was asked, asterisk places to sign on COPR, took out our copies and attached to our passport and told us to expect our PR cards in 4-8 wks. He then welcomed us to Canada told us we have every right as permanent resident but we cannot vote or contest for elective post in election: LANDING COMPLETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to baggage collection point collected our bags heads to Air Canada desk told them we missed our flight to Edmonton and we were booked for the next flight and our luggage checked in again for a 45 mins flight to Edmonton but this flight get as ebi shaaa na propeller plane like Aero contractor plane for Lagos-Warri route. Waited 10mins for our family friend who drove about 5hrs from Fort Mcmurray to pick us at airport, they came with plenty jollof rice with fish and salad after eating we hit the road for another 5 hrs drive. Finally got to FORT McMURRAY at about 12.30am HERE and 8.30 am 9JA time on Saturday 26th for a journey that started 10:40pm 9JA Time Thursday 24th.
PROGRESS SO FAR. Since its weekend we have not been able to go for SIN & Health registration but we have booked an appointment with TD bank to set up an account.
Interesting, may Canada yield its interest unto you in IJN. Anoda reason to hold on to this beautiful dream.

My Pipo!!!!!!!!!!
The landing process which we began in Lagos 24th Nov. at 10:40pm flying Lufthansa travelling thru Germany, was completed in Calgary at 3:30pm,thereafter we took another flight to Edmonton where our family friend was waiting to take us to our finally destination of 5hrs drive away, we got home at about 12:40 am and just waking up now to unpack a few things. Landing process was smooth and easy, journey gist to follow later
Congrats, Reddish! Mine next, next month, by Gods grace! Amen.

I am looking at all the New Dehli applicants who are receiving MR/RPRF/PPR left and right, I just keep consoling myself: "Once Accra issues MR, PPR is within 2 months of MR and visa is same day service......." So it is well...:-) Mandie

Hello Gent/Ladies,
I was called for an interview by MPNP under Strategic Initiative Stream two weeks ago, I have notified them of some program that caused the delay. I would be going for the interview by the 1st quarter of the year 2012. I would appreciate a good contact in these towns from Forumites - Flin Flon, Bissett, Sherridon, Lac Du Bonnet, Snow Lake, Wadowden, Lynn Lake, Leaf Rapid, and Thompson, even Winnipeg! --
Pa right!, The Jackson, EMO, Dydx, Igehinadara, Seglad, Reddish and others! -- Quite an age online here! I have been out of Naija for a while.
Reddish --- Congrat! We shall definitely see in Canada. --- That's sure!
Seglad -- Good day! Hope to join u.
We shall see on 17th at Don Etiebett House in Lagos for further discussion.
Thanks and best regards.
Odeks.
