To HIM who sitheth in heaven and ruleth on the affairs of man,
To HIM who maketh ways when all hopes were lost,
to HIM who knows the ending from the beginning,
to HIM who was,who is and who is to come,
our ever present help and hope of greater tomorrow
to God Almighty be all the glory , for bringing us thus far!

I wish to announce the receipt of our PPR today.
Special regards to people like like Thondike and Sace who calmed me down when I received COA 3days ago without PPR.This forum has been very helpful.

Surprisingly DHL was recommended for me and I am to pay prepaid unlike what I usually see on the forum.probably because I am not resident in Nija at the moment.

I pray that the good Lord will smile on all of us awaiting one update or the other.
It will surely end in praise.

Hi bolaopemire, most of the cell phones used in Nigeria will work here. They may not be compatible with all Canadian networks so you just move on to another network whose SIM will be compaible with your phone, simple :)
Thank you sir

Happy to announce that we got our COPR and Visa this morning. I give God almighty the praise, honour and adoration. He remained faithful even in our moments of doubt and unfaithfulness. He showed forth for us and proved that He is God all by himself.

I say a very big thank you to Kollins, PH, KSA, NK, Tbaba, Iya Ibeji, Sotaj, Folake Doyinata, Mabertia, Flakkypastry, Mrs L and everyone on the Forum. Your contributions are always on point!! Neyobash, your service is 2nd to none, thank you. Your dream and expectation will not be cut short in Jesus name.

To as many as are expecting one update or the other don't stop praying and believing becos our God does answer prayers..... I am proof that He does.

Phase 2, here we come
A very big congratulations, phase 2 will be smoother. Amen

Hello everyone, hope we had a great day today? Congratulations to Godswill2016,davido and every one else with an update recently . I celebrate with you.
Please let me ask, I seem to be having a little challenge monitoring the progress of my application because I'm using a Canadian based consultant. 1. Is it everyone who has gotten PPR recently that also got the coa mail?
2. Has accra always updated PPR mail on ecas? If so how soon after the PPR mail has been sent as Ecas is the only monitoring tool within my control.I don't just want to leave anything to chance considering the fact that most correspondence go to her. I'm just taking a cue from what happened to Guyman.

The recommendation to use DHL is just that, a recommendation; you don't have to follow it. This was the case earlier, and people still went with other courier companies. Also, recounting all the horror stories reported about DHL. The choice is yours though.

Hello pwettypwecious. I also make use of canadian based consultant. In my own case, I observed I get notification next day from my consultant, my COA and PPR mail came in same time, like 1 min difference and my ECAS was updated a day after I got my mail reflecting the date AVO sent their mail and not when my consultant sent them to me. Hope this helps

Hello House,

It's with great joy that I announce the receipt of visas and COPR for my family today (courtesy of Neyobash).

Hmmm......... my Canadian dream quest was not devoid of ups and downs as in the case of other applicants, but sharing my little experience may be the motivation that somebody out there might need to keep him/her going in pursuing the dream.

My Canadian immigration idea started sometime in the year 2011 when it just occured to me that, emigrating from my present Country to Canada may be the most appropriate step in getting out of the seemingly irreparable mess the Country was in.

In 2012, I tried the student visa route ( I applied to some Universities in Canada for PG studies) without luck.

Then I positioned myself for the 2013 stream of the FSW with all my documents ready. Only for CIC to introduce credential evaluation in that year and WES did not get my certificate evaluated until after like 5 months into the 2013 program when the slots were almost filled up and the NOC I had planned to put in for was already filled :mad:

In June 2013, I applied for the ''Morden's Community Driven Immigration Initiative" program in Manitoba. Also without luck. ;D

I had to go back to the drawing table ;D

In Jan 2014, I applied for the Saskatchewan ''In Demand'' program but was not lucky enough to be picked.

Same 2014, March. I applied for Nova Scotia Nominee Program (Without Job Offer). Also without luck. Hmmmm.......

Then came May 2014. When the FSW stream was again opened. I fired my application much early (I already had all the required documents) and it got to CIO on the 20th of May, 2014 only for my package to be returned after over 100 days in Sept 2014 on the ground that I did not include a copy of my B.SC certificate (funny enough the copy was in the package returned to me :eek:). The devil is a liar!

Well, because I knew It's not over until it's over; I resent my package in October 2014 with a well worded cover note and it got to CIO on the 8th of October 2014.

Fast forwarded to July 2015, the MR came on the 10th of July and we had our medical examination on the 24th of July, 2015.

The great wait began........ ;D

Then, the devil struck..........I lost my better half :'(. only for PPR to stroll in exactly 17 days after her demise.

Well, all glory to the Most High as we got the visa at the appointed time even though several obstacles were faced along the line and it would have been of greater joy if my wife was here to share in the actualization of the dream :'(

I decided to share my story to encourage everyone still expecting one update or another from AVO/CIC to keep the hope alive.

The Canadian dream is not for the soft hearted. You have to be determined, dogged and keep going until you achieve your goal.

I would like to once again thank everybody (space will not permit me to start mentioning names) that has been of help in one way or the other especially Pipis Husband, for creating the Nigerian thread.

See you all at the top in Canada!
