"Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did." - Newt Gingrich

We all say that life is full of struggles, hard work, and perseverance. Every day is different from the last day. More often, we lose confidence and self-esteem when we face a problem which we have never faced before. When you see others climbing the ladder before you, there is a sense of injustice you feel. That feeling is human thing, as we all not perfect. Not perfect about guessing the bigger picture of life.

Before Diwali, I was really optimistic about getting nominated in early-October. As more people were getting nominated, I was getting more depressed and sad. (You can read my post during that time). When Raj, yes Raj, got nominated I did not get depressed, there was a feeling of peace in my mind and heart as I thought may be now my turn will come for nomination. I waited , waited, waited, and waited like a child waiting for a new toy on his/her birthday. But I really lost hope on Saturday (A day before the major Indian Festival "Diwali"), the day when there were record number of nomination given to November Batch, but I was not the lucky one.

Something personal happened on the morning of the Diwali day, I was really torn inside.(Nothing serious, but something happened in a bad way that I had not expected). I was torn and wounded on the Diwali night, but still was happy on my face. Enjoying the Diwali night with my family. After a very long time, I had a nice sleep. I slept peacefully after so many days and in the morning when I woke up it was still dark in the room. I don't know what happened and why, but I prayed to God. I prayed that, God, please show me some hope, either give me the result or tell me the truth about the result. I did not pray before Diwali or during Diwali. I don't know why, but I didn't.

Today in the morning, as usual like every day that I do in the morning, I checked my email. And there was an email from "donotreply". I tried to remember if I had done any changes to my application, or it was my birthday yesterday, or my IELTS is expiring. But as far I remembered, last changes I had done was when I created my new EE profile and there was no change in my information.

While checking the EE profile, I was happy, but anxious as well. I did know what to expect. I have seen people answering that they will get a pop-up and you need to accept the nomination. But I thought, what would happen if I had selected "block pop-up "in my browser. Anxious, uneasy, worried, nervous, afraid, impatient, and eager changed to happy, cheerful, satisfied, joyful, fortunate, and blessed.

Feeling at that time was something beyond words that I can write here. I didn't have tears of joy in my eyes and my voice didn't chocked. I was genuinely happy. Happy beyond words. Just Happy.

I could not believe that I got nominated. I could not believe that I am also among those people who had the privilege of climbing the first step on the ladder. I accepted the nomination and points got added (But I think, I should have collected all my documents before accepting the nomination as we get 30 days time to accept nomination. Also, the nomination will get expired in next 6 months from the day you accept it). I was happy. Happy, Happy, Happy, just Happy.

I know many are waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting. They have lost hope like I had lost. They feel depressed and sadness like I did. But whatever you are feeling right now, I have felt the same. I empathize with you guys. I understand whatever I will say to you to give you hope, you will still feel hollow inside. You will still, for a moment, will not like my words or me. I understand that as I had gone through the same phase. But, I can only tell you to wait for few more days. Wait will get over soon for all the November guys. One day, we all will fulfill our Canadian dream. Just wait my brothers and sisters.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come. - Robert H. Schuller

Congrats!!!! Finally the wait ends.

Hey Guys -

I have created a new thread for EE applicants submitting their e-APRs in November 2016.

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/express-entry-eapr-submitted-in-november-2016-t459415.0.html;msg5546592#msg5546592

I'll create a list soon!

Thanks.

Thanks thestunner316.
Wish you good luck for your nomination and PR.

Congrats!!!! Finally the wait ends.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes royce110.
The wait ends. But a new journey will start now and I am too tensed.
I don't now, but I feel that now I have to do the real work.
Procure documents again (uufff... and it takes time.)

Congratulations @musicnlyrx. Wish you Speedy PR .

Thanks a lot for good wishes, DigitalDestiny.

First of all, Congratulations! It has happened finally. . Happy for you buddy! You might get your ITA tomorrow!

Secondly, that is some serious write up! NOC = 5121. Updating the list!

Raj, thanks a lot.
People like you have made this forum a lot better. You have really been a source of inspiration to everyone.
I have seen many people who once get nominated and selected in a IRCC draw leave their forum thread to join a new one (not pointing to any specific person, but a general trend we all have noticed). But you have been never like those guys. You have been there for each and every November applicant, whether he/she got nominated before you or after you.

Wish me luck as I start a new journey with you guys.
Wish me luck as I start to climb the ladder one more step higher.
Wish me luck as I start the sit for the new test now.
Wish me luck as I want to send the luck back to every one who has been waiting for long.

To tell you the truth, I am really tensed now as the real journey starts now.
Procure documents again. Need to double-check the procured documents again.
What if the same thing happens again. The wait.
I am OK with 6 months (+/- 1 or 2 months) of wait, but anything more than that will again scare me.

Glad to help !

Procuring documents is kind of a tiring task. Prepare a checklist and keep crossing documents once you have procured them - one by one. Being organized really helps. I suggest that you book your medicals as late as possible because it would give you plenty of landing time.

Remember, once you hit that submit button, there is nothing much left in your hands. Depends on your case, Visa officer, Visa office and the quality of the documents that you have provided. So, check your application multiple times, have someone check your application too.

Wish you good luck and all the very best!

Hi guyz,
I have been trying reach OINP through their phone number. Nobody picks it up and it goes to their automated system, where it says to dial the extension of a person to speak. Is there a way I can get in touch with an Operator?.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

 

[royce110]

Guys anybody trying to scan docs from their smartphones with Scanning Apps (from android market and app store) for better quality and size? I tried a couple of docs and they looked pretty neat except a few minor background colors.

Or is everyone going the conventional way of using a scanner and uploading?

It's always better to go the conventional way. Use a scanner for better quality. Why do you want to take a chance with the most important application of your life?

I'm one of the pending Nov applicants waiting for the Nom. I hope this is the week. Congrats to all others.

Yes I'm doing that. No one picks up the phone and then the automated system asks to dial the mailbox number.so what to do to speak to the operator?
Thanks.
