@ flaky. stop sounding as a prophet of doom. and to all forumites keep your dreams alive. canada is good and will continue to be. plan and look forward and your dreams shall come to pass.

move on to canada,

But Flaky never said you should not come to Canada, she is sayingsave, save n save. Plan , plan n plan. She admitted to having settled properly after like two years. The issue is, she is not sweet coating her story. She is been blunt. N it pays us well to have it at the back of our mind. She also mentioned praying instead of worrying about the MRs, the the PRs etc.

Flaky calm down, your last post was done in anger. And that fails the rule of management 101. Na different people dey D's forum, some HV even received worse bashing.

My father always says you can never reap every fruit that you sow. You can't give up your blunt advice because some forumites do not kowtow it. They are also part of us n are entitled to their opinion without any holds. Pls calm down nne , eh?

I belive this is going to be my last post on this page, I initially decided not to respond but you know what, @ RonD75,nanonye,petershiett2k1, if you dnot understand the use of language, keep your comments to yourselves! That's my post and you really don't have to comment you know. Read the lines and understand what I said , if you can't, waka pass!!!
You don't know me or anything about me so your comments I find outrageously ridiculous " this person thought life would be easy" bla bla. Yes , life's been GOOD and I am so super grateful . I am not someone to talk about myself or blow my trumpets, let's keep that as is. You have no idea and you can't because I am sure going forward I am going to ask that anyone that sends me an email include their forum names, I want to be sure I am not dealing with these three.

Typical Nigerians, there are good ones anyways , but a good number sucks!
I CHALLENGE you three to come back here after you land and start helping others, that's my OPEN CHALLENGE to you! Do not come and write stories of how the airport is fine and the country is beautiful, or how the custom officials were nice for doing their jobs, we already know that.
I CHALLENGE you to keep posting on this forum and help other new immigrants with useful advice and referrals that would get them settled in Canada! I will keep an eye for your posts 1 -2yrs down the line to see if you are still active or have disappeared like some "Landed seniors " .


My last advice to advice to everyone else who cares to listen, forget about acres, when they are ready they will send you what's needed, that shouldn't be what you have to worry about , they are doing their jobs and are on top of it. Think about the next phase, and focus your worries on planning and preparing for it.

NNE OMA, It was your update that I was looking forward to. Name I'm carry me waka come for my seniors forum D's note. It is well with you and doc.

Pls travel fast ooo, na your house I go first land when my own reach. Thanks for all the encouragement. Mwahhhh ;D :-*

My dear people, we received our visas and CPRs yesterday. To God be all glory, honor, adoration and praise.

Here's my ''pick-up story'' with DHL:

My husband initiated pick-up with DHL-Awolowo road, Ikoyi last week Tuesday, Dec 16, 2014. They asked for authorization letter and the pick-up mail from Accra which we sent via email to the officer in charge. We called the next day and Thursday for a tracking number but we were told that DHL Accra hadn't sent it yet. The officer in charge told me that she'd send the tracking number to me as soon as she got it from Accra via email. Friday and Saturday came and still nothing but we decided to give them a break and not call them.

But by Monday, we were ready for them. When my husband called on Monday (yesterday), it was still same ol' story and the officer in charge (another person this time) added that Accra might dispatch the passports that day. We decided to contact DHL - Accra and good old Google came to the rescue. One of the numbers went through +233302213090 and we got our tracking number ''sharp sharp'' and the DHL staff added that the shipment was with the delivery courier on the way to the house. We confirmed this immediately we got off the phone and also discovered that our package had arrived at the sort facility in Lagos on Saturday. We proceeded to update the DHL office in Ikoyi with our tracking number. (Yes oh! Na we give them tracking number not the other way round! Ironic, isn't it?). We were again told that the shipment was on its way to the house, in addition the DHL officer gave us numbers to call concerning delivery of our package. When we called the number, we were again told that the package was on its way to the house and we were assured that it would get to us before the close of work which is 6 pm. Time flew past and still no sign of DHL. My husband started calling every hour and they insisted that the package was on its way to the house. At a point, my husband asked for the number of the dispatch rider but he was told that it was against company policy. By 5.45 pm, it was obvious that no one was coming and we'd lost our patience. My husband placed another call and vented his spleen on the staff that picked and insisted on getting the number of the dispatch rider. Reluctantly, the lady gave him the number and when my husband called the dispatch rider, he said that he'd been having trouble locating our address. I knew this was a big fat lie because we live in a central area and I even provided a landmark in the address I gave to them! The dispatch rider then told my husband that he wasn't coming to our address again and gave my husband the alternative of coming to meet him at their branch in Ilupeju! (Imagine ''orishirishi''). It was really upsetting but my husband decided to go to him even though I didn't like nor support the idea one bit.

Finally, by about 7.45 pm my husband came home with the package. He told me that the dispatch rider even wanted a tip from him (after all the hassle oh!) upon which he lambasted him. So my people, na so we waka with DHL! All in all, we thank God for His mercies and favors. I can't thank Him enough.

Happy holidays my people! Cheers.

Thanks my darling sis. You no get ''nsogbu'' at all. Make we go prepare the way.

 

[BaJay]

On a lighter note, I received my visa and COPR today also. I initiated the pick up process until about a week after receiving my PPR due to circumstances beyond my control. Work related. We thank God though for a successful ending.

My thoughts go out to Highlyfavoured and Dada Karma and the rest that are yet to receive their MR's. Please has anyone heard from them? This must be mind and nerve wrecking for them but I believe they will get over the line.

God bless us all.

Congrats Nonye..best wishes always

Congrats Nanonye, ;D. Hope you are feeling better now? Pls after what nwa- Marie went thru with DHL, I fink I will follow your style with UPS. I can't shout. Pls can you be of help if we call on you to guide us?

 

[NwaMarie]

You call that help? I feel truly sorry for you. No one asked for you help. You came here willingly. Do you think anyone cares wether you leave or not? do us a Favor and leave. So many have helped People in this forum and outside. Non are anything like you. It's a shame you claim to help yet you put people down for no reason. I see no help you can give anyone when you haven't helped yourself.
Anyway it's obvious your a psycho. So I won't waste my time with you anymore.

Please and please RonD75, let's all calm down. Please no name-calling. Let's keep the Christmas spirit alive. Cheers.

[mariedamzy]

Guys I don't think Flaky meant any harm. She might have been too blunt but she's getting ur mind prepared for the worse. If she is being realistic, u will know how to plan better. So I don't think we should criticize her. Just get ur mind prepared and save all u can so as not to be disappointed.

Please and please RonD75, let's all calm down. Please no name-calling. Let's keep the Christmas spirit alive. Cheers.

My dear for me the Christmas spirit is very much alive. I can't condone condescending statements all in the name of helping. I totally agreed with what He/She said but the tone is wrong. Let's call a spade a spade. There are people that have been on this forum for years and have helped countless people. You don't hear them speak down on people.
Ones approach speaks a lot about their personality. Good intentions or not.

My dear merry Christmas ojare.
