Teeprecious:
Shey person will not goan do ielts again laidiss? I am not understanding this their trend again o and I thought I was done with ielts after writing twice for EE and scoring 8 both times but my point till practiced social distancing from the EE cutoff score. Heeiii God o.... If your IELTS is still within 2years you can submit it along side your application with the ticket ID and password so they would know you are opting for the NSE route either General or Academic training is accepted!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

Thanks for this information. But what of those that are still waiting for approval and resuming in May? Will they in anyway be affected? Since it's still in progress no issues hopefully you will get feedback before MAY am talking about those that already have the permit that they should travel and not stay back to say they want to start online to save cost they won't permit that and won't count towards the PGWP Eligibility |

Victory1989: Please House i will like to know if IELTS test (ENGLISH TEST) now mandated for students visa? my agent request that i write it before he can submit my application, after i have been offered admission and tuition fees paid He is preparing you ahead incase they request that you submit the requirements for NSE in which the IELTS is part of the requirements but it isn't compulsory though if you don't want to submit it and sit out on it some people here didn't submit the requirements but gave a cogent reason why they can't meet up so IELTS isn't compulsory for study visa!!! |

Please everyone I just finished a Zoom meeting with my school where they talked about Pre-travel, Quarantine,IRCC policies and all and information reaching me now is IRCC said students with May resumption must travel to Canada to begin their studies before May that's like 2-3 weeks thats if you have your study permit approved already for you to be eligible for PGWP so for example if you are resuming in May and your permit has been approved and you say you want to start online from your home country to save cost please think again as they will not count it towards your PGWP eligibility so pack your bags and travel jejely 2-3weeks before your program starts in MAY 7 Likes |

You have nothing to worry about Rootiab it will be updated on your Portal at times they don't update on portal on time but at the back end they are working on it so there is nothing you can do about it .Some people portal here was not updated that "we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" yet their PPR dropped!!!

Look forward to hearing from you.
I said after I had submitted my application I realized I didn't submit my mum's bank statement as my sponsor so I was worried and decided I will send it through webform so the day I was about sending it through webform the NSE request dropped so I just used the opportunity to get the ticket ID and password of my statement and that of my mum's statement!!!.Hope the explanation helps!!! 2 Likes |

Inioluwa1: Good day everyone, LONG POST ALERT (But believe me when I say it is supposed to be longer) I have been a silent and longsuffering reader of this thread, actively reading since like Part 14 or 15. On Tuesday the 9th of February 2021, I got the much-awaited PPR! This is my gist: December 2019, I reignited my dream to go to Canada. I genuinely wanted a career change from Law to HR. I finished with a 2:2 (Second Class Lower) in both Law and my first degree in English (I’m a young old man – 27 going to 28), and a 2:1 (Second Class Upper) from Law School. It was good enough to get me a decent job in Nigeria but the reality is stark and rather disappointing (Nigerian Lawyers dey suffer… but that is gist for another day). With deep research, I chose to make the career switch, starting with paid online course which bagged me a diploma in Human Resources. I took this with hopes of one day becoming a specialist with my background in Labor Laws and Employment Legislation, by God’s grace. It was a big and tall dream. My target job and related field was and is increasingly always in Top 3 in-demand and top paid jobs in Canada. But we all know man proposes and God blesses as He wills. I initially started off with interest in Express Entry under the FSW, but the impediment was my years of foreign work experience - less than a year. I wrote my IELTS and passed with 8.0. Overall Band Score, did my evaluation with WES (getting a transcript from Nigerian institutions is a task I wouldn’t wish on my enemy) but the CRS score was still too low. The only way to boost is was to effectively be fraudulent and risk a five-year ban. No, that was too much of a risk. I was advised by an acquaintance to try study route. How? I had no knowledge of it and I didn’t graduate with 2:1 that I could try Masters. I did my research and applied to two schools for a Business Diploma in Human Resources (I was adamant I wanted Saskatchewan for “personal” reasons.) and got admission offer into Great Plains College, Swift Current. This was EIGHT months after I started my Canada plans. I dumped EE for study with age not really being on my side as I intended to use my mother as the sole sponsor (Salary was nothing to write home about) for an ordinary diploma… me, a graduate with two university degrees, NYSC, and a qualified Lawyer. The odds were heavily and massively stacked against me. I waited and waited and waited and it seemed the world was passing me by and I wasn’t making progress. I broke down many times and kept my sincerity in my relationship with God even in my imperfection. Nairaland and this thread is a big blessing. I got so much insight from being humble enough to learn from everyone. My Application Timeline goes thus, - Applied Online: October 6, 2020 - Biometrics Request: October 7, 2020 - Biometrics Completed: October 9, 2020 - NSE Additional Document Request (MyBankStatement Cert): November 24, 2020 - Upfront Medical after waiting and not getting request: November 25, 2020 - Medical Updated to Passed: December 2, 2020 - NSE Additional Document Uploaded: December 2, 2020 - NSE Additional Document Received: December 4, 2020 - Eligibility Review Started: December 4, 2020 - Deferred January Admission to September and informed IRCC with the new Acceptance documents via webform and mails to the three Nairobi e-mails. - Requested GCMS Notes: January 28, 2021 - PPR and BVL and GCMS Notes all dropped: February 9, 2021 A total of FOUR months and 3 days passed and EVERY SINGLE DAY was excruciating. I prayed, fasted, and made covenants with God. I dipped into depression more than once… He gave me Jeremiah 29: 11 and I prayed for favour every night before I slept and every morning before I opened my eyes, I reminded God of His promises in His word. I got my Joy back even before the miracle happened. I was instructed to do what Otunba, lekiboboe and especially Awys did in their various posts like https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/228#98846426 and it worked! I am grateful to Blavkmaann , your posts gave me hope and cheered me up and FrankRobbn1 you’re a blessing. I can’t mention everyone but you’ve all inspired me.
Documents submitted: 1. Application for Study Permit made outside Canada (FORM imm1294e) 2. Application for Temporary Residence (FORM imm5257f) 3. Client Information a. My Statement of Purpose b. My Birth Certificate c. My siblings’ Birth Certificates d. My academic and professional certificates: First Degree Cert, Second Degree Cert, WAEC Cert, Online Diploma Cert, Law School Cert, NYSC Cert, and Call to The Bar Cert. e. Academic Transcripts from both Universities attended (Student Copy suffices) f. IELTS General Test Result g. There was an IRCC Form filled from school I attached. h. Police Certificate i. Father’s Death Certificate j. Study Questionnaire 4. Digital Photo 5. Family Information (FORM imm5645e) 6. Letter of Acceptance 7. International Passport Data Page 8. Proof of Means of Financial Support: a. Sworn Affidavit for support by mother duly notarized b. Letter of appointment/confirmation of appointment at work for mother c. Salary Payroll of the sponsor (mother) for 6 months prior to application d. Sponsorship Letter e. Relevant Work certificates for sponsor f. Printed and scanned Bank Statements of sponsor for 4 months prior to application (Current and Savings totalling 5.4 M Naira) g. Proof of Sponsor’s Rent Collection over property signed by her Lawyer. h. Receipt and confirmation of payment of Tuition Deposit of $CAD 8,500 for a Semester i. Sponsor’s International Passport data page j. Certificate of Occupancy of sponsor’s property k. Employment/Work Identity Card of Sponsor l. Bank Investment Account worth 3.04M Naira
NOTE: When I got the NSE Request for a Mybankstatement Cert, I initially sent series of webforms and mails that I don’t want to do because I was seeing $CAD 30,000 minimum when we barely had half! I was led to submit it with a balance of 3.6M Naira (having already paid $CAD 8,500 deposit) because upon reading the letter again, it said “Proof of Financial Support A mybankStatement certificate showing sufficient funds for your studies for at least 6 months and 12 months of banking history”, which mean (to my new understanding) half of the requirement for a year’s sufficient funds… English can be hard. Let me not bore you. I hope and trust I have been able to restore someone’s faith here. Don’t be moved by what you see (even on this forum, I saw people with over ten times of what my mother has and even being fully-funded and what not, not getting approved, I’m not despising anyone - God forbid, just keep the faith and DO YOUR HOMEWORK well, God cannot be mocked.), your joy is key – don’t lose it, keep busy and don’t stay idle - depression sets in faster then, a delay can never be a denial. I’ll be resuming September 2021. Let me stop here, it has ended in praise!
