Hello, all......
Congratulations to everyone with updates, including those who have gotten theirs and those who haven't (it's on the way). Amen!
I have a little experience to share with the house, especially those going for medicals.
The e-medical thing is a really great thing, we all know it helps the PR process a lot faster. I will like, however, to sound a word of caution to everyone....it's not foolproof.....and each and everyone of us must be our own failsafe in the process.
I had my medicals done on 27th July 2013, along with a friend and his family. (We actually met that day for the first time at Consultants Practice, but became good friends thereafter). We were quite excited that it was e-medicals, and were looking forward to PPR in a few weeks. My ecas had "Medical results have been received" on 17th August, while his had no change. Of course, we didn't think much of it.....Gel003 had PPR without it, anyway...
We both became a little worried that people like Ikemba and Midas, with whom we did medicals together around the same time were receiving PPR. In late October, we decided to make case specific enquiries, so we mailed Accra thru CIC. Autoresponse of mail being received at both ends. Then, last Tuesday, I got my PPR, but my friend didn't get his.
On Friday, he got a call from Accra. The person at the end of the line told him that his son's medical results hadn't been received!!!! Surprising, isn't it? Here was a little boy, whose medicals were done on the same day with the whole family....of course, off he went to Consultants Practice, only to be told that "the e-medical could have bounced back because of network issues" and no one was the wiser!!! They apologized, and resent it.
He got his PPR yesterday afternoon.....
We were both in shock after the whole event.....what if we hadn't made the CSE? Is that how things would just have gone down the drain? Accra didn't call about an incomplete medical until after the CSE. COnsultants Practice didn't check their system for successful delivery of the e-medical.....and we were just waiting patiently for PPR that wasn't going to come!
So, pls, people.....we are our own failsafe. After your medicals, I would prescribe a monthly CSE.......so that important issues like this would be identified and given speedy attention.
God will see us thru......

Thanks so much ekundapsy, is there a way one can confirm dat the e-med was successfully delivered? from your story, this has become imperative....Ideas please

Yes Olamide the amount of POF required changes withthe number of persons in the family so you would sure require more, haven said that I sincerely would advise people to go ahead and do allthe population cause it can be a lot easier while you are stillin Naija. It has it's benefits as you have a retinue of people around you and who will support you all the way a luxury you might not be able to afford here. Moreso, that might keep the woman out of work longer than necessary hence instead of spending two years or more waiting for the process to come to fruition, you can as well have your baby and nurture them with plenty support pending when the PPR mail comes. There is no denote answer to this as individual circumstances differ but I advise you don't do family planning because of immigration lol

As per medical so many landed seniors have had cause to do medical even during pregnancy and they all scaled thru so we have to remain positive. The process requires a lot of patience and planning and i tell you is worth waiting for.

Cheers
Tinu

Ma Tinu, True words. Thanks a bunch

Ekundapsy, this is a very great piece of info! Thank God for the 'failsafe' technique you people adopted, that would definitely have dragged the process for a long time for your friend. Thank God for the powers of prayers!
Happy much for him and his family.
I do pray that our processes won't be delayed by unnecessary situations... All forces that could be militating against our processes will be sent into the ocean of fire and burnt with all their roots IJN!
Thanks again bro!

Tumaka, pls, feel free......
This forum is a great place where people give a willing helping hand, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and happy feet to dance and rejoice in success with you.

By the way, people, what's the cheapest one-way ticket to Toronto? :D :D :) ;) :) :D

Ekundapsy, the ticket cost will depend on the planned travel dates. I've been checking wakanow.com in the last few days for a travel date sometime around April 2014 to Toronto and the cheapest i've seen there is Turkish airlines for about 380k (that's for a family of 4 though). Also check the individual websites of the airlines you see on wakanow.com to see if you will get the cost cheaper there - i got BA cheaper by 2k from BA's website than the price listed on wakanow.com

Please has anyone flown Etihad airways before or does anyone know anyone who has - please i would like to know what their service is like and what their charges for excess baggage is. The reviews i have read online are not too good about Etihad that is why i am looking out for someone who has had a personal experience flying them. Thank you all.
