Congratulations!! Finally, it's over!!!Hello Friends
Got RFV today. Some specs of our application are:
FSW-O India + a lot of residence in Africa + startup kind of own works. Our largest effort was in translating African PCCs into English.
CRS 454
Funds: more than enough, but mostly MFs
PA+Spouse+Kid (Masters MBA Degrees for spouse and myself)
No consultants / agency
AOR 28 Nov 2018
MEP 08 Jan 2019
ADR 1 12 Jun 2019 (we replied, but messed up the details; raised a CSE to inform IRCC about the mess we made)
ADR 2 20 Jun 2019
RFV 27 Jun 2019
My unsolicited advice
1. To reduce total time of the process: one must get the IELTS + PCC + ECA done in parallel. I know of no other way that's better. There is nothing to be optimized after AOR.
2. Never stop your life for this. We stopped for this, so did others, and regretted. Wouldn't make this mistake again.
3. The 180 day counter on your login is a bluff; and it would be better if it wasn't there.
4. Avoid consultants. There's nothing you can't do yourself, there's no one who knows your case better than yourself, there's no one who can express your case better than yourself.
5. If at all you have to pray, pray to Chuck Norris.
We'd be likely making a 15 day stop this year before the medical runs out; to decide specifics of permanence there. And likely thereafter in 2020 before school starts for our young one.
My best wishes to you
Good luck for future
