"July 2024, yankee said nope to my visa, I almost got depressed. Though my Canadian PR process was on b4 I applied yankee. Dec 31st of 2024, at about 9pm while preparing to go for a cross over to 2025, my agent called me on video and smiled, I said what? He said it's done. I was in shock, didn’t knew if I should scream or cry. yes I had done my biometric but until u see d visa u won't believe. July 2025 I came to Canada as a PR. God knew yankee wasn't meant for me, so in all we do God has a reason for everything. How much did I spend? I don't even want to calculate bcos this journey was and is still worth it. I pray for God’s open doors for others seeking same path. Never give up bcos God has a plan for us all."
