NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

[ritaliciously]

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!!!!!

Its so nice reading ur story. cant wait to be in your shoes..lol

Brothers and sisters, House and the general assembly of our highly favored and blessed forum, the Lord has done it for me and my family. We got our passports from dhl today with our visas well stamped. Please join me in thanking God for His kindness and mercies showered on us.
It hasnt been easy but the Lord pulled us through. Each and every one of us shall get positive responses from AVO IJN, Amen.
Those of us in waiting, get ready for the rain of requests from AVO. Start preparing and start planning your dancing modes. The seniors, by divine inspiration said it, but i wasnt quite sure. Now i can tell you 100% that we all shall succeed. Its only a matter of time and enough prayers and positive spirit. It is well.

According to Gabrilla, 'dem stamp the Ugwu leaf for our passports'.

I want to use this medium to thank everybody that wished my family well. Everybody that encouraged me in one way or the other. I have been seeing your posts and comments of late since my last contribution. But my liver fail me to respond because i nor too sure of AVO. The wait between PPR and courier delivery of our passports nearly killed me.

Dada-Karma, Gabrilla, Collins, Omo naija, Preferred, Hakpoguma, Gentleandrew, ...... and every other person, may God richly bless you all.
Olukemi2, please apply quickly, dont waste time. The time to favor you is here.

My timeline is thus:

We applied for FSW in Feb 2012.
They received our application in March 2012.
I did IELTS in Dec 2011.
Medical request on Feb 25th 2014 with additional POF and PCC.
PPR on April 29th 2014.
Visas Issued on May 23rd 2014.
Received passports on the 3rd of June 2014.

NB:
If you used dhl like me, please pray very well oo. I live in PHC. My package was sent in error by dhl to Abuja instead. It took God and some federal shouting on my part to have them correct their mistake. They didnt even apologise but who cares!.

Thanks peeps!

[tangowisky]

Thank you mayoress,

Looking forward to a full house today. Tangowisky, Ma IG, loolo (if you are in Lagos), Emy est, floxy, mayoress,grace trust etc.

All seniors with Visas, pls come and share your testimonies with the house.

Dear Abiola Ky,

My sincere apologies to the house as I was unavoidably absent from the meeting as a result of an official engagement.
Hope the meeting went well?

 

[tangowisky]

Hi all,

Quite a while...Kinda busy these days... just wanted to check in and testify to the glory of God that i just got a job as a Senior Business Analyst with IBM Canada.

Please keep up your faith as the sky is just a stepping stone here.

for those still awaiting Visa and and yet to land...my advice; please ensure you get all the necessary "international" certifications BEFORE you land as Canada is quite expensive to take most courses.


All the best guys.

Congratulations, God is ever faithful. Thank you for the advice.

 

[tangowisky]

Avo rain down positive updates this week IJN

AMEN!!!!
It is long overdue!!!

Thank you for this piece, it has rekindled a new desire to remain focused on the goal..
I wish you a blissful life in our new country..

 

[tangowisky]

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!!!!!

AMEN!
