I was on the field for a larger part of the time today. I just came in to the office a couple of hours ago and decided to check my mail box. Beloved, lo and behold a mail from ACCRAIMMIGRATION.... Smiling @ me - and when I opened it........my PPR.
I am extremely happy; Canny dream becoming a reality. I don't even care about my ECAS that can't be assessed again; I leave that to CIC once am getting joyful mails from them.

But seniors kindly still help in clearing this doubt:

A section of my PPR reads: "THE FOLLOWING INFO & DOCUMENTATION WILL BE REQD TO ISSUE YOUR VISA:
1) Updated family info: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition.........
2) 2 passport photos for each family member .........
3) Height and eye colour chart ........."

Are these instructions same for all applicants? I am asking because I have recently updated AVO with these info before my medicals.

Should these form/docs/photos be included in the envelop with my passport?

I wish everyone a speedy application process.
Congrats DoubleBam. It has actually ended in praise. God, be praised....

Friday May 8, 2015: I was in transit most of the early hours of the day - heading to my head office to have a meeting/strategy session ... this meeting ended quite late and this is why I could not get online to talk on the forum.

So while on transit I looked at my mobile phone at about 13:38pm and saw 3 new Yahoo! messages ... My intuition said to me "there's an update from Accra". I unlocked the phone and then went straight to the Yahoo inbox and there it was staring at me - an email from ACCRAIMMIGRATION @ international.gc.ca

My heart starts thumping! What could this be?! I hope they are not asking for another update or something to slow me down further?? So I opened the mail with quick trembling fingers searching to see if I will find a particular set of words I have stored in my mind for long time now.
And bam!! there were the words staring at me "Your Immigrant Visa(s) appear(s) ready to be issued....."

I didn't bother reading further, I just forwarded the message to wifey immediately! I called her on the phone so I could hear the sounds of jubilation (and celebrate vicariously) since I couldn't do any jubilation in the midst of my colleagues at work.

I just managed to read through the mail a while ago. ;D
All praises be to the Almighty God, he will surely see us all through.

Summary of my rant - I have received PPR o! I will be dancing Sekem to DHL on Monday morning! ;D ;D
Happy Weekend Everyone!
Congrats, T-Raptor it has ended in praise ton the most high God.

This is a wonderful news. I rejoice and celebrate with you. It has actually ended in praise for you & family. I will receive wonderful, positive news from AVO at every point in time unto the end in Jesus name (Amen).

Visiting the USA is not Visa free for Canadian PR holders. You still need a US visa.
It is actually visa free if you're originally from a commonwealth nation and Nigeria is a commonwealth nation. Read further on link under.

I have visited the said link and there is no information that Nigerians with Canadian PR can visit the USA without a visa. The emphasis is on Canadian Citizens not PR

from my understanding, I spoke with a friend currently in Edmonton and with PR.he said Nigerian passport with PR will need visa to go to US that there's no transit visa.
He also said the visa will be 10 years.

You're right. Well we should not worry too much about this, in my opinion. Even if a visa will be required it wouldn't be much of a hassle I want to believe.

Yea i agree....Nigerian PR holders need visa to visit USA from Canada,and its always 10yrs and is issued without much hassles unlike applying for same from Nigeria.that by the side when you have a Canadian citizenship that's when you no more need visa to frequent Canada.

I will surely testify
my application got to cic on december 29th 2014, this is may and i understand quite well that fsw 2014 officially closed in April. I have not heard anything from cic concerning PER nor whether my application has been returned due to global/NOC app reached. i was adviced to put a call through to them which i have done severally and it keeps telling me that there's no agent to attend to me because of the high volume of callers. I want to find out if late december applicants are still getting per? i am really concerned about the original documents i have submitted in my application because i will need them to process other things. How long should i keep waiting for?
