Good day guys.
I am writing in this forum after a long time. Firstly, let me thanks directly to some of great people here Rupeshhari/Maaties (unforgettable), BobbyB (Man behind my success), PMM ( an authority on Immigration to Canada matters, Volunteer*), LEON (Always helpful, Always there), Sir Qorax (name is all, no words) who helped me and guided on every single matter from start till end of process. I am also thankful to other great volunteer contributors of this forum Saki,Rocky whose posts were actually my guide to Immigration to Canada. I am unable to recall and post name of all, but from depth of my heart, I am very thankful to every one of you as just one informative word from your post might become a fortune for the readers, so you are all great, God bless you all.
here is my story now which may give hopes to many...
I applied in 2008 under Simplified application process. I am from a developing country, currently living in another country where economy and opportunities are not much different then my native. We planed to immigrate to Canada in 2008, we submitted our application and started waiting.. waiting and waiting. In March 2009, I got request to submit full application. Unable to document my worst experience for getting Police Certificate from my Native country. I submitted full application without IELTS and tried to explain my English proficiency using letters and some other documents, after 2 months I got an email where IO wasn't satisfied and requested my IELTS. Now here read, I took IELTS 4 times and each time, I couldn't get score above to 12. My speaking was always good, I got each time 8.0 and reading over 7.5, but writing and listening never get over 6.0. So, I submitted last results with 12 points. I was hoping 69 points which was included claim of 2 basic points for my french ( I studied over 8 months and submitted my Diplomas, Certificates etc). Well, wait of year + Money + Hopes + dreams all gone when I got refusal letter in January 2010. IO wasn't satisfied with my scored as IO didn't give me any score of French, and I scored 66 in Total. So, for the 1 point, I lost all.
I was dishearten but was aware that I am missing something to be eligible. I didn't lose hope, I decided to apply again. My wife got frustrated and started arguing as she was not ready to undergo whole process again. We lost big part of our hard ear saving plus times, hope and dreams just because of 1 point. Here I will name again BobbyB, who as brother as friend encouraged me to apply again but with full preparation and I decided to apply again. This time, I decided to take IELTS first, I got help from this site and downloaded material which helped me a lot. Took IELTS and this time I scored 8.0 over all. 8.5 speaking, 8.5 reading, 8.5 writing and 6.5 listening, Ehhhhh, Listening again.. yes but no worries, I was good with this score as I got 14 in IELTS and this made 68 my total without French Claim. Sent App to CIO in March 2010, Collected all documents again, once again same frustration, time and money. Luck wasn't with me again, I got application back due to credit-card error. At this point I really decided to F***off, but once again... though to give it a try. This was my last try and I was ready to forget about my Canadian dream if something goes again wrong... I made a check instead CC again, submitted again to CIO in April 2010. PCC from my native country once again gave me hard time but finally I managed to get it. In September, I got AOR from CIO, was very exited. I forget what happen in past, submitted all docs to Local visa office in October, in January.. with prayers from you all, I got Medical + RPRF +PP request all in one. But hey, once again kind of problem was waiting for us, my Medical was all okay but Wife's Medical give us alarm that we may lose every thing on this last stage. She got a Lung issue.. DMP recommended for additional test. We in real got scared that we may not able to make it, but she was never sick and never had any type of health issue.. finally got results and DMP confirmed that all is okay. Just 2 days go, got the call that Passports are stamped and ready to collect.
This is end of story for now, I know there is a huge challenge in fact by immigrating to another country and more then is, establishing there but with Trust in Allah, prayers, best wishes and guidance from you all, hopefully we will make our dreams and establish ourselves successfully in Canada. We have plan to land in may, please wish me good luck, pray for me and believe me... my prayers and best wishes are with all of you, every single member of this forum. Wish all of you good luck and success in Canadian Dream, just remember, never lose hopes. Keep trying, if not at first, maybe second or third, you will win and success will be yours. Cheers and good luck.
