Greetings to everyone it has been a long while and a very long time coming from when we received our visas in February whereas the expiry for our visas was 1st October. We decided we needed to take our time to plan and wrap things up before we left Nigeria so we purchased our tickets for August 30th giving us 6 months to put plans A,B,and up to Z in place very well before arriving Canada. Luckily we got a premium economy class ticket at a very good rate and I was glad we did cos the services we got was wonderful. We spent the last three days in Nigeria seeking God's face and favour at the MFM camp and from there we moved to the airport. We had a slight excess luggage issue which we paid for.
We flew Lufthansa to Frankfurt on the 30th of August and had a 7 hours hrs layover with an additional 45 minutes delay due to a security scare at the Frankfurt airport. By the time we started boarding Frankfurt to Montreal, I discovered that Lufthansa had separated me and my husband giving us different seats, as I was about complaining, I looked at the boarding pass again, lo and behold we had been upgraded to Business Class, it was a very beautiful surprise and a blessing in disguise. The 10 hours flight from Frankfurt to Montreal was superb, We landed Montreal but we experienced delays going through CBSA and doing our landing procedures and unfortunately we missed our connecting flight to Winnipeg and there was no other flight that night. Lufthansa had to rebook another flight for us for free the next day and took care of our hotel accommodation. We landed Winnipeg on the 1st of September very tired but happy, we got our SIN and Health Card same day and went straight to our temporary accommodation and tried to get some rest. The next day we got our mobile lines, booked appointment to open bank accounts and started house hunting but we were advised by our friend to take our time cos we got a good deal to stay at our temporary accommodation for three months.
Before we left Nigeria, I had started sending out my resumes and got contacted by one of the organisations asking for the date I would be landing. As soon as I arrived I sent a mail to them that I had landed and I was scheduled for my first interview on the 6th of September, the interview went well and between 6th and today 16th of September, I have had about 5 other interviews with different organisations since I arrived and got a call today for another interview on Monday I see God at work in all of this and a lot of good prospects.I am very confident that the flood gates of blessings have been opened for me and my household. I shall be prosperous in this land by Gods grace amen.
For everyone waiting, your good news will come by God's grace. I know of a friend who withdrew his FSW2014 applications after he had done medicals in June 2015 and was not getting any feedback from AVO. He withdrew the application June this year after his medicals had expired and reapplied for Express Entry and within one week, he got all the approvals and his PPR was sent that same month. He landed last month, he took a huge risk which paid off in the end.
As God has done it for me and my household,God will answer everyone still waiting for goodnews amen. I apologize for my long epistle o. God bless us all amen.
