NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

Hello, everyone....
Sorry for my total absence in the last few months....
Was busy with a very important exam, but through now.
I landed in Canada on Friday, 30th May 2014, through the Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto by 3:30pm.
My journey began in Nigeria on Thursday, 29th May 2014. British airways flight to London by 23:15pm. The airport departure lounge was very hot, but didn't really feel it because of the excitement. We had a very great turbulence free flight, and landed Heathrow by 5:35am. The wait for the connecting flight was about 7 hours, so, was able to explore the duty free section of the airport very well. The flight from London to Toronto was also about 7 hours.
Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. It was with all smiles, as they greeted me 'Welcome to Canada' from one station to another. At the Immigration counter, everything just went smoothly. No questions about POF, Goods to follow list or goods accompanying list. The Immigration officer just asked me for my address in Canada, and I gave it to him. He just stamped and signed my COPR and handed it over to me for signing. He then directed me to the Services Canada desk, where I was given my SIN number. The Officer there was a very pleasant man....His son was born in the same town I was, so we struck a friendly note on that....
Then, I was directed to the newcomers' section where a package was given to me. All smiles....and 'Welcome to Canada' again...
All in all, it took me about 25 minutes on the whole process, about 10 of which was spent on a queue to see the immigration officer.
I went to baggage claim to retrieve my luggage, and was greeted at the Airport by someone who was contacted to meet me by someone else on my behalf. Their hospitality is unrivaled. I was taken to their house in Mississauga to a warm bath, warm Nigerian food and a warm bed, but not until I had insisted on taking a stroll through the neighbourhood later in the day, and later watching the beautiful sunset on the balcony at about 10pm....I just couldn't help thanking God for the opportunity granted me.....It felt like the happiest day of my life
The following morning, I got on WestJet flight 435 to Edmonton, where my welcoming family was waiting for me.
So far, I am still in awe of the simplicity of life, and the friendliness of total strangers, the orderliness of a simple society and the blissfulness of life in this clime....
I had an appointment scheduled at Scotiabank today to open an account, and will apply for my health card tomorrow at Alberta health.
I pray that everyone looking forward to seeing this particular day will live to see it soon and in good health, AMEN!!!!!

Wow God is faithful. Congrats, we all will testify soon in Jesus Name. (AMEN)

Thanks Hakoguma. With credential assessment already handled by WES, ICAS and others I think school credential verification should no longer be an issue. I will appreciate if you can answer his question please. "He asked if anyone who have landed got hint of AVO verification at workplace, bank etc during the period they were waiting for MR". I also like to know if anyone knew if AVO checked on their workplace for details etc. For me its important because I am planning to change my Job anytime soon.

Have done my medicals and waiting for PPR. Personally, I am not aware of any checks so far on my past employers. My understanding is that they could verify employer references if they have doubts about one's submission.

Lol.....Gofame...
I am only following in the footsteps of others in front of me.
I will be only staying for a while here, took annual leave from my work in Nigeria for the landing purpose.
But before I leave, I want to open a bank account, apply for my health card and see if I can start processing my drivers' license.
This country is a great one...As long as you're working, everything will fall in place...
Pls, everyone that's in this race for the Permanent Residency should start thanking God now......It will definitely come to fulfillment, and you'll never regret making the decision.
Edmonton is a low crime environment, with good public facilities.....you won't believe the libraries here....
God will fulfil all our dreams, AMEN!!!!!

Please can any one tell me if Ghana office can also require an individual to submit passports in person for the purpose of issuing an immigration visa? If yes how long does this take?

in the past, yes......But I don't think they do that anymore......
Now, they require you to submit your passports through DHL or VFS...
And it takes between 3 and 6 weeks.....

 

[seunex]

Thank you for your prompt response. Can anyone please post a sample of a resent passport request AVO

Secondly, is it always compulsory that a photocopy of the passport would be requested before the original passport is requested by Accra vissa office?

 

[kanulia27]
