Dear All,

I have been a silent follower of this forum and I must say that I have gained immersely from the forum.
Firstly, I will like to thank God for making our FSW journey problem-free. I would also like to thank everyone on the forum for the contribution, advice and support provided on the forum. God bless us all on this Canada journey.

We received our PPR at about 10.00 a.m on March 24, 2016, a day I decided not to check my email until around 11 p.m, unlike how I used to refresh my email every other hour everyday.

Below is our timeline:

Application received: Nov 18, 2014
PER: Feb 9, 2015
MR, UK and Nigeria PCC, RPRF request: August 18,2015
MR Done: September 8, 2015
PPR: Nov 24, 2016

I pray the news of joy will continue and go around in the forum.

Cheers

Congratulations and welcome. Pls reconfirm the PPR Date

Hello TENMEN,

Here is my story, hope it's useful to you and others on this forum.


Once I found out I was 8 weeks pregnant, I informed AVO via CSE. Unfortunately that mail was never delivered and I didn't notice till it was time for medicals which by then I was already about 18 weeks. I was fearful as medicals will reveal pregnancy and AVO might view it as being dishonest. However, I went ahead with medicals and then sent AVO a cover letter informing them of my pregnancy and included the previous mail I sent that was never delivered and also a new POF to cover the new addition.

PPR came at week 30 thereabout. Airlines will no longer fly you after week 32 and some airlines week 34. I was faced with a dilemma here:- do I chance it - send our passports to AVO and pray that they return it quickly before week 34 so I can fly? Or worst case scenario, AVO sends back the passport after week 34 and I'm forced to have the baby here. That would mean having to do medicals for the baby and only God knows how long before AVO will be ready to issue our visas again. I didn't want

Regards
Bbmj

Hi Bbmj, thanks for sharing your experience with the house. Can you kindly share a format of the professional letter tendered to the AVO without sounding like you begging for them to issue the PPR Swiftly. Thanks

Congrats on receipt of your COPRs and visas. Yes, you will need at least transit visa if your flight will pass through the US. If you don't have any visa for US then you will have to process a transit visa. If you don't have time for that then don't book a flight on any US air carrier. There are many other airlines to choose from that don't require transit visa, cheers.
