3rd application sent 18th April,2014 via British council AGAIN...this time,a high graded official put his neck down for me to personally supervise the insertion of my IELTS trf.
In addition,I wrote a strong worded letter to CIC telling them I have mandated british council to insert my IELTS since no second copy was available for me as par their procedures.
I also included a photocopy of my IELTS.
Till date,I never knew if British council inserted it or my cover letter worked with the photocopy of my IELTS.
3rd application was received in CIC on 24th April,2014......
I had to send my 3rd application knowing fully well that express entry song will take off by 1st May,2014....I blamed myself 2 days later (26th april,2014) when the new gazette said FSW will continue from 1st May,2014 again
Received PER's email on 13th May,2014 (20 calendar days from date of receipt in CIC)
Got Medical request on 17th October,2014 @ 11.27am
Medicals done on 7th November,2014 (lost three weeks because I was engaged in a different location from where I can do medicals)
Sent requested documents on 7th November,2014
Requested documents received in Accra on 11th November,2014.
Got passport requests on 19th November,2014 @ 12.45am
Sent the passports on 20th November,2014
The passports were received on 24th November,2014 around 11am Nigerian time.
Got passport pick up mail today 8th December,2014 inside my SPAM box @ 12.45pm
Decision made was noticed/seen on ECAS @ 12.05am of 30th November,2014.
Realistically(though I'm yet to sight it),the visa is meant to be valid till 13th November,2015.
Cheers.

Congrats Kollins!

You've just completed seemingly impossible VISA journey but God has made it happened finally. Your support to others has been top notch and commendable. You are such a team player!

And like my brother Cocodio has said look back we're almost there too.

Best wishes!!!

Hi, there is no difference between an applicant with 67 points and an applicant with 75 points. FSW is not a competition but an immigration program, all you have to do is meet a minimum of 67 points and you are eligible for processing. Please submit your application with your ECA for 19 points. All the best.

Thanks Pipis....

You have indeed proved this.

Dear All, please can anybody remember the phone number of CIC? A lot of people used it on the global forum and they were able to get updates but I can't seem to remember where to find it. It gives you a step by step procedure on how to connect to an agent even with minimal information. Please I'd appreciate a response.
Thanks!

Hi, you can place a call to CIC in Canada with the number below and make your complaint You'll get an immediate update though you'll need to be super patient as you may spend almost 20 or 30 minutes on them phone with them.

Ensure you call as from 12 noon Nigerian time which is 8am in Canada, +1-613-944-4000, select 1 for English.
