FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[CalgaryChic]

Don't give up hope, keep your eye on the prize because it is worth it. Whatever has led to the slow pace in sending new mails and updates to applicants cannot be more important than the application, afterall, the bride/groom is more important than the marriage.

While we sympathize with the Syrian crisis and refugees and we commend the Canadian government's resolve to assist them, we are indeed hopeful that whatever screening process is put in place to select them for immigration will be comprehensive enough to keep security of the country at the forefront. Our measure of humanity is in how we can feel for each other so let's feel much in all things.

We all know that the VOs, like all embassies worldwide are understaffed and overworked and with so many issues competing for their attention now, we can only hope for a quick but more importantly, a positive completion of application processing. As you wait, be hopeful. Never lose hope otherwise, your efforts won't matter anymore and you allow the process defeat your spirit. Your high spirits are what will keep you going when you land and you need your spirit to be positive when you get your visa and when you land here.

Things will get better, it's only time. All the best.

Thanks PH.

Dear Guyman,i understand exactly how you feel because i am in similar situation with you.I think you are getting yourself worked up by blowing things out of proportion.You are not the only one having this delay."Hope" is the only thing that sustains life in times of difficulty.Infact,it is in times like this,that GOD is watching how you will trust him.please put yourself together.There is season and time for everything under the sun. Thank GOD you've done medicals and you know that by CIC standard,your PR VISA will be valid till your medical is one year or expiry of your passport whichever comes first.That should tell you that AVO must contact you for PPR any moment from now cos you are not going to do another medical.AVO should as a matter of fact be under pressure to settle you atleast some some months before your medical is one year.

Just get yourself involved with more research on what to do when you arrive canada,use the time to gather more POF and make other plans that needs to be made because our PR VISA will surely come in due time and when it eventually comes,you might not have enough time to plan.Don't just bore yourself with waiting but rather get involved in some sort of activity and you will just discover that the impact of the waiting time will not be heavy on.
Dear friends,Lets keep hope and faith alive.Our expectations will be realised sooner than we expect,in JESUS name.AMEN!
Wishing us a week full of favorable updates.

Nicely put

...How many Canadians can hold over a minimum of 11,000 dollars in the bank for almost 18 months ? And am told to do so, how can I live for over 1.5 years without making long term plans. I can't do anything concrete, just living day by day and waiting. This wait is not fair. Life is almost in a standstill for a year now. I need to move on.

Am no more hoping, am just waiting. Sorry if my post is going to discourage anyone or anger anyone. It gets to a time our human reasoning comes in. The wait is killing me.

I know exactly what you are going through. You are not alone. Many plans for many applicants are stuck in limbo:

>House rent is about to expire. Should you renew or wait ?
>School fees for kids are due. Should you pay or wait?
>Broken furniture. Should you fix or wait?
>Walls are due for painting. Should you call a painter or wait?
>PHCN wants you to buy prepaid meter. Should you acquire or wait?
>Tempting need to start shopping for Christmas. Should you proceed or wait?
>Tired of your stressful job and cant wait to call it quits. Should you resign or wait?
>POF is lying fallow in the bank and possibly depreciating considering the time value of money. Should you spend, invest or wait?
>You planned to book your flight at least 6months to departure date in order to attract discounts. Should you proceed or wait?
>...The list goes on and on...

Like we would always say, it shall end in praise.

Its well guys we shall get tru this process sooner rather than later, BigDon in fact its the fact that i have done medical and my visa expires a year after the medical that is keeping me going and ironically my passport and medical expires same date of May 11 2016.
So we should keep hope and faith alive because what God have started He'll surely complete, so AVO will answer soon from this day in Jesus Might name.
Am doing a new passport in readiness for my PPR mail because as required passport should be 6months-1yr to expire before u get it stamped.
My guy guyman relax man na time e go take stammerer go call him papa name.
It will surely and must surely end in PRAISE.

In fact superzee all these coupled with other decision making situations are what virtually all of us in this forum are facing daily but God in His infinite mercies will rise up for us all at the point of our various application needs and thanks PH for your calm words as always sir.
The end to the processing of our application is nigh.
It will end in PRAISE my people.

 

[thorndike4u]

Thanks house for the encouraging words when tempers flared. I can understand what all waiting are going through. Hold on a bit as we are almost at the finish line. Guyman1234 good to know you are calm now. 'No matter how adult hold small pikin thing for up so pikin no fit reach am, hand go pain am hin go release am for the pikin'. IT WILL END IN PRAISE definitely.

Am so sorry all for my post. I was just overwhelmed. I just came out of a situation that arose from my traveling plans and I just flipped. Thank u all for the encouragement.

Guess what, I was similarly lamenting just last week about how I feel about this AVO delay to a landed senior. Do you know the question he asked me? I'm sure you don't.

He asked if I will not mind informing CIC that am tired of waiting and won't mind calling it quits so I can do other things I wish to do. It was like pouring cold water on my body on a hot afternoon. I just kept quiet and was like, it's true o. Which option is best? To wait or to call it quit or to get anxious? I choose to wait because it is a DONE DEAL.

However, my own concerns are ;D How do we carry over OWAMBE parties, our ankara clothes in different styles, our chord lace, designer beads, local foods and so on. Or what is the means of unwinding na, cos I know we will gbaladun CANADA when we eventually land o.

Guyman, my guy, good to see ur cool again. The whole house is expecting the next joke jor

Hi BabyBal, have no worries, all your delicacies are available here in the African shops. There are many of such in each city that cater to Nigerian, Ghanaian, even Caribbean palates. Went to an open market recently, when I saw Chinese people haggling for cow leg and ox tail just like Iya Basira, I knew I was in the right country
