Hey Guys,
I got PPR yesterday which brings me to the end of my
journey to secure a Canadian PR. I hope my story brings
hope to those who are still waiting.
1. I created my EE profile in September 2019 with CRS at
465 (Master's degree, IELTS band 9, married with
spouse as accompanying, NOC 2173).
2. Lost points in December due to age which brought my
CRS down to 459.
3. Covid hit in 2020 and the cut-off for FSW draws
lingered around 470+.
4. My profile expired in September 2020 and I created a
new profile in October the same year. Once again I lost
points in December due to age and my CRS stood at
453.
5. Went into depression knowing that my chances were
very slim to ever get invited through FSW.
6. Luck turned around in January 2021 when Ontario
nominated me through their tech draw.
7. Submitted my application to Ontario in February and
got a confirmation for my nomination in May 2021.
8. My revised CRS now stood at 1035. PNP draws were
frequent and I was confident that I would get through in
the very next draw.
9. In June 2021, I got ITA through the PNP draw.
10. I submitted my application, including medicals on
26th July 2021.
11. I got my biometrics request in December 2021.
12. On January 12th, 2022 I got a request to pay the
RPRF fees.
13. On 25th January, I noticed a ghost update on my
profile in the morning. By evening the same day I got the
"Ready for Visa" e-mail.
This journey has been one hell of a ride, and although I
lost hope many times in between, I dusted myself off and
kept trying. When things are meant to be, they will
happen.
