Please what's the best POF currency to carry along into Canada, CAD or USD?
I've never bought a CAD before and not sure if I can get the amount I need before leaving.

Your opinions as always will be welcomed.

God is God, He is no man (3ce)
He has done it again!!!
Eyin le seyi, Eyin le seyi ooo...(You are the ONE who did this)
Ayeraye olorun iyanu (Everlasting Father, Wonderful God)
Eyin le seyi o eee... (You are the ONE who did this)

To God be all the glory, Visas and COPRs received for my family on May 23, 2016.
I am grateful to God who has brought us to a successful completion of this journey which started way back in 2008. Here we are, after two TRV refusals in 2008 and 2010, and FSW 2011 application which disappeared into "thin air" and remains untraceable till date despite the use of a Canadian based consultant. TRV was eventually issued in 2013 and again in 2015 as well as Student visa (issued to spouse) in 2015. All existing valid Canadian visas were cancelled upon the issuance of the Immigrant visa.
I take this opportunity to appreciate the amazing support and wonderful contributions of everyone on this platform, particularly Pipis Husband and Neyobash. With the information and help available on this forum, the use of a consultant was totally unnecessary for me. To everyone awaiting positive updates from AVO, it will soon be your turn to celebrate IJMN, Amen.

Congrats. Ultimately, it has ended in praise to the glory of God.

Hello good people, I have been an ardent and silent follower of this thread and would like to congratulate all who have made it to Canada through FSWP 2014. I am a late December applicant, still expecting MR or any form of communication with respect to my application. I used a Canada based agent who has not communicated with me for over 8 months. If the seniors here can share any info on the possible reason for the delay in processing PPR and MR for October, November and December applicants. Could it be because we applied late?

One love!

If you have not received any communication from your agent for over 8 months; then does it mean that you have not also sent the agent an email in the past 8 months. Or Do you also mean that he does not respond to your emails for over 8 months.

You need to be firm on your agent since you are paying for the services. And if you feel that you are not comfortable with your agent. I will advise that you send an email to the agent but seek further clarifications from Pipis Husband, Ed_b_good and other seniors on this forum.

I have such experience in the past and I can share with you how I dealt with that situation. You can send me a PM.

My dear, dearest e-family, I was wondering why no one shared a gud news for MR, PPR and PUM yesterday, just found out that yesterday was a public holiday - 25 May, 2016. I believe today as everyday when I wake up like a lion, I roar --- It is going to be a good day. Please believe, you are what you think. When you make great plans, great forces will come to your aid. Today we shall receive good news of MRs, PPRs and PUMs in Jesus name . By faith, I have started packing already. Though the devil tried to bring bad thoughts to me that what if our PPs is returned and we are disapproved, I laughed and asked him "What if it is approved and we are given Visas and CoPR? Hope maketh not ashamed. I am still waiting for my PUM. God has done it for countless number of persons on this forum, why will he withhold something good from the rest of us who trust in Him and call upon him day and night? We tap into the testimonies of our seniors and latest celebrants. God is Faithful and can never fail. Let me leave this scripture which has always encouraged me with you - Joel 2:21 - Fear not, O _____ (put your name there); be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things . Please share your testimonies to encourage those of us still waiting that AVO is working and that this journey will end in praise. Love you all and succeed we shall!! :-* :-* :-*

Your pick-up email is on its way. Be expectant.

Hi,
Apologies accepted. Maybe they have sent your MR to him. Same happened to me. Two things I will advice, try communicating with him and also do your own background checks by tracking your application yourself from services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do?app=ecas input your details and track. Share if you find a way.

Thanks bebisco, my ecas status shows in process beginning in April 2015. I suppose many of my fsw peers have similars status on theirs.

Ofcourse you may not be able to raise an appreciable amount of CAD so USD is advised and allowed. It is the currency of the world

If your ecas shows that your file is in process then you're alright, so many others are also in the same situation, however, don't loose any sleep over it though that may sound impossible to do, we have had forum members who had their CoPR and PRV concluded in one month of receiving their MR, so just keep busy saving up on POF and researching all the information you can about jobs and settlement. It will end in praise. By the way send your agent an email requesting an update, make them earn their money ☺.
