Hi, It has been a while.

We landed at Calgary airport on Sept 9th. We flew BA to Heathrow, London on the 8th sept had 13 hrs stopover entered town for like 5 hours as we all have valid uk visa
The flight was smooth and the landing formalities as described by several people, very straightforward. We could do our SIN registration as they have closed and was told to expect our PR cards in about 6 weeks. so far SIN registration done, bank accounts set up and running, secured an apartment already should move in b4 weekend, will be going to new comers center 2morrow

We are gradually settling down and I wish all those awaiting updates speedy processing. In Jesus mighty name
Welcome to Canada.

Guys...please are there updates on 2014 applicants?
The last I got from them was a PER.
This silence from AVO is deafening :(
I pray that there shall be shouts of joy very soon concerning positive news from AVO & IRCC. All the best to everyone expecting one update or another.

Greetings to everyone it has been a long while and a very long time coming from when we received our visas in February whereas the expiry for our visas was 1st October. We decided we needed to take our time to plan and wrap things up before we left Nigeria so we purchased our tickets for August 30th giving us 6 months to put plans A,B,and up to Z in place very well before arriving Canada. Luckily we got a premium economy class ticket at a very good rate and I was glad we did cos the services we got was wonderful. We spent the last three days in Nigeria seeking God's face and favour at the MFM camp and from there we moved to the airport. We had a slight excess luggage issue which we paid for.

We flew Lufthansa to Frankfurt on the 30th of August and had a 7 hours hrs layover with an additional 45 minutes delay due to a security scare at the Frankfurt airport. By the time we started boarding Frankfurt to Montreal, I discovered that Lufthansa had separated me and my husband giving us different seats, as I was about complaining, I looked at the boarding pass again, lo and behold we had been upgraded to Business Class, it was a very beautiful surprise and a blessing in disguise. The 10 hours flight from Frankfurt to Montreal was superb, We landed Montreal but we experienced delays going through CBSA and doing our landing procedures and unfortunately we missed our connecting flight to Winnipeg and there was no other flight that night. Lufthansa had to rebook another flight for us for free the next day and took care of our hotel accommodation. We landed Winnipeg on the 1st of September very tired but happy, we got our SIN and Health Card same day and went straight to our temporary accommodation and tried to get some rest. The next day we got our mobile lines, booked appointment to open bank accounts and started house hunting but we were advised by our friend to take our time cos we got a good deal to stay at our temporary accommodation for three months.

Before we left Nigeria, I had started sending out my resumes and got contacted by one of the organisations asking for the date I would be landing. As soon as I arrived I sent a mail to them that I had landed and I was scheduled for my first interview on the 6th of September, the interview went well and between 6th and today 16th of September, I have had about 5 other interviews with different organisations since I arrived and got a call today for another interview on Monday I see God at work in all of this and a lot of good prospects.I am very confident that the flood gates of blessings have been opened for me and my household. I shall be prosperous in this land by Gods grace amen.

For everyone waiting, your good news will come by God's grace. I know of a friend who withdrew his FSW2014 applications after he had done medicals in June 2015 and was not getting any feedback from AVO. He withdrew the application June this year after his medicals had expired and reapplied for Express Entry and within one week, he got all the approvals and his PPR was sent that same month. He landed last month, he took a huge risk which paid off in the end.

As God has done it for me and my household,God will answer everyone still waiting for goodnews amen. I apologize for my long epistle o. God bless us all amen.

congrats christomario on your landing .....
But this your friend withdrawing his 3014 application and securing placement via express entry within june and august is highly incredible ,however this your friend should be encouraged to share his timelines to encourage others consider such a bold step according to you ...
i will admonish all our compatriots awaiting the completion of their applications to keep the faith and be positive in what you are doing.... no distractions will change our confessions " it will end in praies "in Jesus name .

Congratulations on your successful landing. All glory to God. Really curious about your friend that withdrew his/her FSWP 2014 application and applied for Express Entry. That timing seems to me a "world record". I have never seen one or read of any. I have followed through quite a number of Express Entry cases and the minimum time for visa issuance has been 4 months which is the most common after submitting all your documents and application online together with payments. They are really keeping to the 6 months max. promise for Express Entry and it is one of the reasons FSWP is currently moving at snail speed. You will want to ask your friend again about timing. Likely, she started earlier than you have reported.

Congratulations Christamario on you beautiful experience in the maple leaf country.

I think your friends strory is great too and I will suggest those who are yet to do their medical to also check out the EE route as the speed of processing seems to be incredible, but I will not suggest withdrawing their applications for FSW2014. AVO will ask them to choose to withdraw one when the time is right.
