Abi... Interesting how we tend to forget the processes that have gone smoothly and only remember the troublesome ones :D. Thanks much ibadanchap.
ibadanchap said:
No. I cant remember for sure. It's been over 2 years but I don't think it was that long. I would have remembered a long delay :) Maybe 2 to 3 weeks

Finally bro! Thank God for His mercies!!! Can only imagine the emotional and physical turmoil this has taken, but in sha Allah it will only make both of you stronger in every way you can imagine and more.

My Lovely Family.
I am so sorry to have been away for soooo long.
I congratulate the progressions made so far.
Our landing was very smooth. We entered Canada through the Vancouver International Airport on the 4th of July and became Permanent Residents. (Myself and My Wife).
Our case was God's work in manifestation. God shamed all the demon-possessed staff of IOM. They were shocked to the marrow because they never thought we could pull through.

Nice! Good luck with the G test... I shall prepare my package for Ottawa shortly - hope I can get as quick a turnaround as you did :)
Sambade said:
Hello BabyBal, yes just like Ibadanchap already said, i sent my license to Ottawa and i have done G1 but i will do G in a couple of weeks ... on turnaround i was told 4 weeks but i got the letter back in 10 days from Ottawa

Amen!!!
Abembem said:
Congrats all, Easyjay, Babygirl, Flosure, Debruv and all with positive updates and news. May God bless and favour us all....Praise all thru... :) :) :) :)

Our case was God's work in manifestation. God shamed all the demon-possessed staff of IOM. They were shocked to the marrow because they never thought we could pull through.
The trauma started on July 10 2015 when AVO requested for another test for my spouse. She did the sputum test and there was no TB. The Oncologist was a very wicked woman. She wrote a report to AVO that my wife should be investigated for Metastatic Lung Disease. She did not tell us the content of the letter because of the intended havoc. AVO Medical office asked us to carry out Pap Smear test, Breast procedure, abdominal procedures and they were puncturing my wife's body to bring out tissues at every procedure. Then we had spent over half a million! I had almost given up on the immigration stuff but was more concerned about my wife's health. we were referred by IOM to Lakeshore Cancer Center in Lagos for all those Cancer tests. We discovered no Cancer. The Professor of Oncology with the Rosewll Park New York did an open lung Procedure that cost us another 500k. I told them that my wife was not feeling any sickness or symptoms. What led to all these tests was the Accra Medical Request. They insisted on carrying out the test. The results came and there was no cancer. The Professor refused and said he was not satisfied. They had to take her tissue block for further investigation and 2nd opinion at the New York Rosewell Park Cancer Hospital and that took another long time. Results came...No Cancer. IOM had no choice but to send the result after 10 months!!!!!! AVO called me about a month to our medical expiry and enquired if we could land before 8th of July which was our medical expiry. The Visa Officer issued the visas Immediately. God showed Himself to those Medical Practitioners that He is God!. The trauma was so much because my wife started feeling weak because of the evil reports of the so-called doctors. it took a psychological toll on her and we started thinking that perhaps she had cancer. I read all the medical books on cancer that i almost became a Professor in Oncology. Please pray against every manipulation at the medical stage. Those evil nurses and doctors are everywhere. They don't see good things and they exploit you because of your determination. Bind them before every visit. For those who are yet to recieve MR it will come soon. Just do your personal complete test before it comes so that you can fix any error before AVO's MR. Its important!!! Otherwise you may be delayed and God forbid them wasting your time. God saw us through...Its Him alll the wayyyyyy. PH, My Snail (Technolee) and all my friends who have been constantly following me up inbox wise...I love you all...Chat soon!!!!!!!
Congratulations! This can only be God... Thank God for giving you this deep strength from which you draw from in these trying moments.
O Lord, I join faith with my brothers and sisters eagerly and expectantly waiting for a positive mail or call from AVO, you that did it for others including me, do it again in Jesus Name. Those in charge of the process should be quickened by your mighty hand that as we always declared, it shall end in praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.



There is ALWAYS a better way with God

My Landing Story.

This journey started in 2009 with a number of failed attempts. i decided to give it a final shot in 2014 and that final shot has finally landed me and my family in Canada.

We left Lagos on 3rd August @ exactly 11.30pm aboard British Airways enroute London to Calgary.

We landed at Heathrow AIrport at around 6.00am at the Terminal 5 which I learnt was recently built. The terminal is very beautiful as compared to MMIA.

The wait at Heathrow airport was indeed a long one but who cares because we have the final destination in our minds. My children had fun in London. We did a bit of shopping at the airport. There is a children corner with couches that are very good for sleeping. We all slept for hours.

The announcement for the final journey to Calgary was made and we found our way to the gate where we are to board to Calgary. London to Calgary was 8 hours & 45 minutes. The journey was indeed very smooth void of any turbulence. My 11 month baby slept throughout and didn't wake up until we stood up from our seats after landing.

We landed at YYC at about 8.45pm on 4th August which was 5th August in NIgeria.

Pipis Husband, you have watered many with your suggestions, advices, encouragement; and God will surely water all that concerns you in Jesus name.

I pray that the hand of God Almighty will move on behalf of everyone expecting from AVO in Jesus name.

I am not signing off finally. I am surely part of this family.

God bless you all.
This is superbly comprehensive, Flosure with this you have just blown your cover U can no longer deny that U re a professional journalist. Congratulations WELCOME TO CANADA!

@pipishusband i hail u sir. 1c again thx for dis address but sum1 has a contrary opinion abt it. He said i should rather address it to CIC in Canada since my ex-employers have refused to write it 'To Whom It May Concern'. His reason is bcos it is for express entry which is domiciled in Canada and not Ghana.

Pls has any1 been in dis situation before? How did u go about it. Please help a brethren in need.

Ok - thank you very much. Do you remember how long the embassy turnaround was from when you mailed your license to them to when you received the letter of authenticity?
I did mine last month, I went to the embass paid $50CAD in money order and I was told to come back, that it takes four days to process it. I went there after four days, after waiting for about an hour they discover that my file has not been treated I had to wait till 2 pm to get my letter. If you are sending it to them by courier, I will advise you to call them after three days of them receiving your document.

I presented the letter at the drive test centre in Ottawa, after passing the knowledge test I was immediately booked for G exit drive test.
