Thank you. Glory be to God, the PPR finally dropped early this morning.

VV for a family of 3.

Timeline:
Application Submission Date: 24/12/2021
BVL: 3/3/2022
PPR: 4/3/2022

May the Lord answer everyone awaiting the approval.

pufframmy:
CONGRATULATION documents submitted pls

BVL is Biometric Verification Letter and it is normally sent along with the PPR (Passport Request) which signfies the final approval.

Nadnad:


Congratulations!!!
Please what is BVL, are you able to also share the emails

Congrats to the family and thanks for sharing the good news. My family just got their BVL this morning without PPR and I have been so worried. I pray their PPR drop soon also.

Pinkey2021:
PPR Alert!!!

Family application of 4. (Applied for family members, a father and 3kids).
Purpose: family reunification to join mother and daughter who are international students.

Application date: GC Key - Nov 27, 2021
Biometrics: Nov 29, 2021 (only father & oldest child, other two children are below 10yrs). After 14days and no feedback I decided to try the new portal.
Re-application on New Portal: Dec 13, 2021
(After 14days and no feedback I started sending scattered emails now and then, afterwards I noticed eligibility began.

Then nothing again for one month, so I started sending emails again (now consistently morning and night to IRCC Nairobi, from early Feb for about two weeks).

Feb 25: BVL
Mar 1: PPR for all 4 of them ( 4days after Bvl).

IRCC likes us to disturb them with emails, lol. Sometimes it’s what propels them to look into your application.

God is great. Thank you Jesus.

Congrats. Please how long did it take to receive the PPR after you got your BVL? My family just received BVL also for their visiting visa this morning without PPR. Inputs will be appreciated by other members also.

Lady2007:
Thank you for your encouragement. I got the PPR today

LadyBlaq:
Now that they have relaxed the covid restrictions, what happens to our visitor visa applications?

Those of us that applied since first week of December for the new visitor visa so as to reunite with spouses and family members, do we have to withdraw the application and start afresh with SOWP?
Look at me that have prepared to submit SOWP but was swayed to go for the new VV since it was set as priority and it was faster, oh God

I don't think that has anything to do with the new visitor visa processing. They have not made any pronouncement that it has been suspended. Have they started eligibility review on your application?

It will surely end in praise.

Thank you JustMellow for your time and the useful suggestion. You are well appreciated.

I actually requested to be moved to May Session by School (A) same week we started full lecture, aside the 2 weeks prepapatory classses which were not graded. So, nothing has actually happened and there is no credit to be transferred to School (B).

My sincere regards

Hello Abbeylicious,

You should do the change of DLI from within Canada. I believe your return is for obvious reasons known to you, IF not, I would say you could have volunteered for community service or any humanitarian organization fighting against COVID-19 in Canada. Good ties to Canada esp when applying for PR (PNP).

Since you've begun studies with school A, resume with school A in May and request for a change of school to B. [You can't just bail like that except if maybe no classes had been taken, then you can resume directly with school B by only updating your GcKey and/or notifying IRCC via CSE from within Canada.]

When school A sanctions it, automatic credit transfer will be initiated and if any down payment was made, the number of classes taken will be subtracted from it and the balance transferred too, or as it may be.

You are now a bonafide student of your school, reach out to the international office or admission office to know the implications of the classes already taken (online) before anything. This will help you understand if you will be resuming in May or September.

If the implication(s) as advised by your school (A) is reasonable that you can resume school B without the need for credit transfer despite the taken online classes, then you can resume in September (by effecting the change from within Canada) IF:

• You've not officially requested an official transfer of credits to the new DLI;

• The LOA of school A is still valid and can provide course registration for online studies in school A 'if' asked at the POE;

• You will remember to say at the POE that you're resuming school A instead of B. Technically, applicants can study online from outside Canada 'till December 31st, 2021, and can still come to Canada for the completion part (or the PGWP) later on.

For any further clarification, let me know.

Best of Luck

REQUEST FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION ON THE IMPLICATIONS OF RECENT DIRECTIVE BY IRCC ON CHANGE OF DLI

Good day and Happy Easter!

I sincerely thank the gurus in the house for their previous explanation on the implication of recent update by IRCC on change of DLI. However, I will kindly request for your guidance and suggestion as regards my current sitiuation:

My student permit was approved late last year and I started attending online class this year January. I later travalled to Canada late January and collected my Student Permit at POE, obtained the SIN and opened a bank account.Thereafter, I got information about another university in another province entirely that offered a program that I am interested in. I then requested that my current program be moved to May session by the university which was granted. I immediatley applied for an admission to the program in the new university which starts by Septmber 2021.

Based on this development, I returned back to Nigeria by Mid February, since I had aksed my current school to move me to May session and my new program will be starting in Septmber 2021 (In order not to go against the terms of the SP). I have just been accepted by the new university and I will be paying the acceptance fee this week.

In line with the recent development, can I still go-ahead and just upade my GckEY account with my new DLI detail?. Or how best do you think I should handle this? I am still in Nigeria and planning to travel back in Septmber when my new program will commenence.

N.B: Both progarms are Master program in Business related field.(Not entirely same course). I do not intend to resume class in May with the 1st univeisty since i have been accepted in the new DLI.

I look forward to reading your contributions on the implication of this directive on my above specific case.

Hello lekan,

If the SP has been issued, the person can change DLI (or program) without reapplying or submitting a new SP application. This is why it is often advised to effect the change from within Canada rather than outside. All to be done is update the GcKey account with the rightful information.

Effecting the change—of DLI and not the program—from outside Canada when an application has been approved and before the SP is issued is what IRCC refers to by stating the need to submit a new SP application for consideration.

Even if the DLI change was effected from outside Canada, the person doesn't necessarily have to apply for a new study permit IF the person's GcKey was updated with the new information (and IRCC was notified via the webform – unconventional)

Ultimately, based on the explanation thus far; a change of DLI or Program, it can be done without the need to reapply for a new SP.

I am open to further queries if it's not clear.

One love bro!
