A friend of mine got her PPR even before her background check and eligibility was approved. Sometimes I’m confused how these guys works.
If your medical is approved then have faith.

Thomsyne:


In rare cases actually. Almost like there is no difference to be honest. Check "lets fly mannu" on Youtube and also the Immigration Canada SubReddit on Reddit. The SDS thing isn't always that fast.

Xclusiveman:
Congratulations man!

@bepostive11 Lol… he has weak ties to Nigeria but very strong ties to the USA. Bottom line is that he’s likely to leave Canada after his program. Or what do you think?

I’ve been thinking guys.. do these emails and webforms really help? I actually think sending millions of webforms might even deter the officials from even checking mails and webforms that are truly urgent.

I’m yet to find any correlation between sending multiple random webforms and updates on applications though, unless they request information directly or the applicant sends an update that’s relevant to the process such as an updated LoA after deferral or change of program/school etc.

Anyways, congrats to those who have gotten their PPRs and prayers to those of us waiting.

Kehmy:
Good day everyone, has anyone paid for diploma recently using For A? Kindly tell me which bank you used. Two banks have declined my transaction now.

One way ticket is okay. Booking a return ticket is not necessary unless you want to collect PTA from the bank.

johnstan:


I don't think it's refundable.
Check the refund policy

Good evening house. Can someone who is applying for study permit but not applying through Student Direct Stream (SDS) use GIC as proof of funds (living expenses)?

@charitojames, @frankrobben, @justmellow
@justwise and other gurus in the house please help out. Thanks in advance!

WiZiggy:

Coleadeyemi1:

I am very elated this is happening to this guy called @Makano. Sometimes last year I got PPR and I posted my timeline and tagged the agent that helped me, the guy has been very useful and I reached out to him via nairaland.immediately after my PPR I came out to tag him and appreciated him normal normal since it's a tradition I met here. This particular guy out of jealousy or kind of saw him as competition started dragging him and making bad comments against him both with this handle and several other fake handles he created, they accused him of using fake handle to advertise, I was really pained cos I dragged d man into that embarrassment @justwise blocked the man without proper verification and I felt like this nairaland is more or less of a carcus thing out of annoyance I deleted my profile but kept on coming here once in a while to read comments if I'm less busy in school. I am happy that nemesis has finally catch up with him they never allowed the man to even talk and was blocked without no reason, I wish @bollybeejay is still on nairaland today to see how u have been disgraced. Karma is really a bitch

Quick question for the gurus in the house!

Do you still have all the money intact in your account after applying for the student visa until you get PPR?
I heard IRCC can verify your bank statements or check your funds in your account to be sure.

Jos, Plateau State is where you can get thick winter coat because their weather is cold. And it's a bit cheap there too.

Is @bepositive11 Mokano?

I really don’t want to think so, hance I will just stop reading this thread.

Under the banker customer relationship, it’s the duty of the bank to keep the customer account confidential. The bank will never review any information regarding it’s customer’s account to a third party without its customer consent.

I have read people say so here but I doubt any credibility in such. If a bank reviews the state of it’s customer account to a third party without the express or written consent of the customer, the bank can be held liable if sued for breach of contract.

Amosey:


I think the first thing you need to know is if the branch of the bank you intend to use can facilitate FX before you apply.

I would suggest you use UBA.
To speed up the process you can disturb them with calls telling them how urgent you need to pay.

bepositive11:


The problem is our reputation. Just recently, someone talked about how their Nigerian friends go to Canada then defer their semester and start working on a study permit to earn. It's things like that that give Nigerians a bad reputation and delay approvals.

Thomsyne:


Yeah?? It explains their extreme scrutiny. Many of us know the end-goal for this study thing is PR but I mean, people should just follow due process to avoid immigration wahala. When matter sup, they'll say its village people.

Letuspraytogod:
Make I go re-write my para letter to Ircc. I don see motivation.

Nairalandboss:
You would have made a sensible point if you had not added the bolded. That woman mentioned she is a PhD student 2 times before I made that statement. So, I am not the right person to quote. There are people that got more than 3. And of course, I am better off except she has 4 publications, conferences - national and international publications and recommendations before she applied. I don't believe in luck. I worked for where I am today so I might actually be better off. And that does not mean I am one of the top 10 in my set. Meaning there are a lot of people better than me. So next time, just let a solved matter remain solved. Don't wake up a solved matter claiming you could not overlook it. It is childlike!

And Canada is so so sweet guys, especially when you are on scholarship. So guys, COME TO CANADA....... Nothing about this again please

Uzoamaka123:
I’m a woman o lol �


Anyways I drafted my sop in such a way that I layed emphasis on the fact my family is in USA but I choose to school in Canada because I want to be independent.

I also explained how HR is a thriving career in Nigeria and Africa at large and there are always job availability and I want to use the hr knowledge to expand my business.

God just did the magic touch.

makano:
Yes, you can

But GIC is not a guarantee you will get approved, as many still get refused even with GIC and many get approved without it..

But to answer your question, YES..

Peace

lolathegenie:
Hello, this also happened to me too
Just try not to overthink it
Even as my application has been approved the document is still indicating 'Not Provided' and the date keeps shifting

Well, I’m not a guru!

Anon123:


You made the mistake of not updating IRCC of changes in your admission start date or even told them you have started classes online with your enrollment letter.

You just have to submit your passport as the embassy will issue a visa start date from the date of that September intake.

It will obviously not cover for the entire period on the updated admission.
