How do you renew a passport expiring in one year from now?

Anon123:


Go and renew your passport before starting this process..

As you await your updated passport, take your time to study the thread for all relevant information you may need

Please which bank in CA did you use for your GIC and how long did the whole process take?

ShallyK:
You can't use form A. You can open a Dom account then fund it with dollar from black market.
The transfer to the bank for GIC has to be from an account in your name.
I just concluded mine last week.

Congratulations Kennyjoy.
Please how did you do the valuation of the property and how much did it cost?

LONG POST ALERT………..Here is My timeline and my testimony (My PPR nah Grace) God is the Greatest.

Firstly, I give thanks to God who is the author and the finisher of my faith. He made my PPR happen… Also, Special thanks goes to Anon123, Frank, Makano, Justmellow(Gcmswriter), LekiBoBoe, Ketima, Temezzo, Scottish. and to everyone who has answered my questions and reply my emails una too much.

I’m 30 y/o, First time Applicant, Self Sponsored, 14yrs study Gap (I dropped out of school in yr 2010 because I loss my financial backbone which is my Mom but since then God has been there for me). I only apply with my 2008 NECO results, No IELTS, My proposed program is 2yrs Undergraduate(Associate Degree). I do everything myself with the help of my gurus here.

I started this journey early 2021, i don’t even have an idea on where to start. Anytime I burst to this platform read people testimonies, documents submitted and all I will just give up and stop readings because of my study gap. I don’t even that someone don’t need IELTS or Toefl to get admission, but mumu me went and register for Toefl class, I did Toefl like 3times still I didn’t meet up the 20scores in each section….. So I give up again, I just made up my mind to jejely they crush for 9ja and keep doing my business…..One day I came to this thread again to continue reading and I now realize you don’t really need IELTS or Toefl for both admission & Visa.. So I dedicate 1weeks readings this thread, I started researching for schools that offer the course of what I’ve been doing for over 10yrs (Career progression) So July, 2021 I submitted my application to Durham college, this next day, Durham rejected my application coz of study Gap, Mumu me didn’t read where it was stated that Durham college don’t accept nothing less than 5year study gap. I don’t give up I kept researching for colleges that offer my course. I applied to three schools again and I got offer letter from all of them. I submitted like two school application form through Applyboard.com while I apply for other one directly to the school.

Eseun ooo, Modupe!!! Thank you.

The VO is not interested in how you paid your tuition or how you funded your GIC account.

Nelson2k:
Good evening gurus in the house, I keep asking questions here but no one wants to help out�

I hope someone helps me out this time. Thanks in advance.

My question is.
1. Do I have to explain how I funded my GIC account and paid my tuition in my LOE? Or is not necessary

So when you pay the full tuition fee and GIC of 10k for living expense, the review is likely to be faster?

Legacyedition:




You don't have to be scared . Most Study Permit application gcms note comes out without pre-assessment note cos of batch processing by Chinook software used by ircc currently. They are doing away with the junior officers. Application gets processed in batches
on Chinook spreadsheet in 50-100 applications per page . So not having a pre-assessment note is not an issue.


If officer can't make decision instantly on your application due to bank statements confirmation, Loa confirmation, documents request etc. He will place your application on "review required" or "recommend interview " . He has 30 -60 days to get back to your file. The documents department will place the requested details on his/her action list after confirmation or your submission.


You will have to mail your visa office to remind them that your file recall is due if you didn't hear from ircc within 60days after the RR got updated.


Here is where paying tuition fee, doing gic, Mybankstatements ticket without lumpsum deposit comes to pay. From the testimonies on this thread, scholarship/funded applicants gets decision faster. Reason I decided to pay full tuition fee and additional 10,000CAD for living expenses. I got med request 10days after my file was re-opened with resubmission and PPR 10 days later. Total of 20 days. There's absolutely nothing the visa officer want to confirm from Bank again.

I thought NSE no longer exist.

Jessica50:
go to the main branch ,only the main branch does mbs that's what I did

Please I sent you an email.

efeturi3:
Please, how much is a Canadian medical test for a study permit?

Be patient, no two application are the same. Sometimes it depends on the program and the course. What program did the person who got admission in Dec apply for?
