Cheebu:


I recommend Abuja. Abuja is now issuing counterfoils. So there's no point submitting to VFS Lagos since they'll still submit to their Abuja office anyway before dispatching to the embassy.

I dropped at DHL this morning for Abuja

Hello guys, Lagos and Abuja which is the best to submit passport currently?

Queenfunlola:


This is a great news, congratulations. You are highly favored .

Thanks

johnstan:


Wow congratulations.

Thomsyne:
Once again, its PPRRRRR - Loooooonnnnggggg post alert!!

First off, I’d like to thank God and many members of this platform for helping and keeping things running on here.

My profile in summary: 25y/o single male, parent sponsored, Computer Engineering BSc, graduated with second class upper, going for MSc, Computational Sciences. Graduated in 2020, worked as a Software Engineer ever since then.

Timeline and Events
New Portal
First-time applicant
Applied by myself. Learnt all from Google, Youtube, and Nairaland

July 4: Upfront medicals
July 8: Application on New Portal
July 8: Biometrics Request
July 13: Gave biometrics and received on portal
** Somewhere in between I’d uploaded my medical sheet from IOM via webform. Can’t remember when.
August 4 (2AM): Sent mail to Lagos, Nairobi, London and attached my medical sheet.
August 4 (Around 1pm): Biometrics and Medicals updated to pass.
** Long wait, ordered notes, CBSA and GCMS, nothing tangible.
October 11: Sent mail to MP
October 13: MP got back literally saying the same thing on portal.
** Around this period, started firing several versions of mails and webforms.
Nov 16: MP reached out to them again – Preassessment done, eligibility not started.
Nov 17 (Around midnight): Sent mails to Beijing, London, Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi.
Nov 17 (Around 12pm): Eligibility review started on portal
Nov 17 (Around 9pm): BVL and PPR

Little story, for POF which is usually a concern, I had like 5.5M in my account, $2k USD in dorm account. 5M was gift deed from my Dad, he had 25M in fixed deposit since July 2021. As at the time I applied, the money was fixed. There were several opinions about this, but I kept it that way even though I was scared sh*tless. The closing balance of that account was 77k in fact.

Around November 9 ish, I sent updated statement showing liquidated funds and my Dad transferred the balance of like 8M to me since I’d enrolled in courses. My savings in Naira and USD had grown, I also got salary raise at work so I packaged all these and sent severally via webforms – both old and new. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered like 3 notes and I still have 4 pending lol.

I’m adding all of these because I’m not sure what did the trick. It’s pretty much a combination of all.

PPRRRRRRRRRR TIIIIIME!!! Long post alert!!!

Study Permit Timeline
- [ ] First application: new portal
- [ ] Submission of application: January 28
- [ ] Biometrics: February 1, 2022
- [ ] Biometrics updated: Next day after biometrics i think
- [ ] Background check was updated just before the final decision but carried February 1 as the date of completion
- [ ] Eligibility started: June 17
- [ ] Final decision: June 17
- [ ] BVL and refusal letter were sent at once
- [ ] Reason for refusal: Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

I requested GCMS notes but didn’t wait for it before reapplying. While waiting for a response to my application I did some research and picked out some things I did wrong in my application.
- [ ] I didn’t explain the source of funds in my account and
- [ ] instead of uploading the flywire receipts for fees ( which are verifiable), I took a screenshot of my student account with the school.
- [ ] Another thing I did wrong was that I made a mistake with the document arrangement. Under the part for POF, I merged the screenshots from my school account (1st page) and statement of my savings account. In the section for other documents, I added the statement of my salary account as part of the documents which had about 2m naira in it.

GCMS notes: This was sent exactly 30 days (excluding Canadian public holidays) and it stated that I did not pay school fees and I had only 4000 USD as proof of funds.

This meant that everything uploaded as POF was disregarded or the officer looked at just the first page of what was uploaded and didn’t bother to look through the rest. This is despite stating the amount of fees paid which was stated in my LOE.

I didn’t have upfront medicals or police certificate for 1st application

- [ ] 2nd Application: new portal, same account
- [ ] Submission: July 6, 2022
- [ ] Upfront medicals done: July 4,

I ordered GCMS notes on the 14th of October.

Documents submitted:
- [ ] LOA from school
- [ ] 6 months statement of account
- [ ] International passport
- [ ] LOE: for the second application I explained the source of funds in my savings- work bonuses from 2017 till 2021 and sales of car in 2021
- [ ] Bonus letters for 2017 to 2021 from my company to support POF
- [ ] Car Sales agreement letter to support POF
- [ ] Letter of introduction from the company stating current role, work history, and annual salary

- [ ] Payslips for 6 months, stamped and signed by HR

- [ ] MBA transcript
- [ ] B.Sc transcript
- [ ] Senior School certificate
- [ ] E medical information sheet
- [ ] Receipt for medicals
- [ ] Police character certificate
- [ ] Verifiable records of payments from the school
I sent updated LOA via a webform and I got a response weeks later that my records would be sent to the necessary IRCC office in Nairobi for update.

I still sent this again with an updated letter from my company approving a change of the date of my leave of absence. I also clearly stated that I had deferred my admission to the winter session.

I decided to create this account to share my testimony because this group gave me hope during the waiting time (plus all the gbas gbos made me laugh, but I’m glad we moved past that). I want to encourage everyone waiting not to give up, and keep having faith because with God all things are possible. I joined the Halleluyah challenge and tabled IRCC before God ooo, my response came after the last day of the challenge which was themed VICTORY!.

The last thing I will say ( which is very funny because I thought people were being ridiculous typing it here all the time until IRCC showed me shege) IT WILL END IN PRAISE!!!.

I’ll be active here for another 1 week to answer questions before closing the account. All the best people.

I also typed this in faith around the period that my eligibility review started.

Congratulations, please when did your eligibility change to "we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements " ?

KingCassy:
Hi guys… it looks like so many agents are advertising university of Manitoba on Instagram… I had to chat with one of them and he said getting visa with the schools admission is almost guaranteed… and he said it’s easier getting visa with the school’s undergraduate program… please guys what’s your thoughts on this

Should i be worried? Should I do my medicals?
Please advise me

Send your receipts via webform or email

Demmy10:
It's PPR guys!!!

First of all, I would like to thank God for my approval. I finally got my PPR after 3 attempts.

First Application:
Applied April 19, 2021.
Refused August 12, 2021.

In the first application, I used an agent because I didn't know much about the whole process of Canada study visa. I joined nairaland when the application was ongoing and I learnt so much just reading through the threads. I wouldn't even consider it as an application cos the agent literally did nonsense, omooo, I was like does this man knows what he did? After the refusal came, I decided I was going to apply myself the next time.

Second Application:
Upfront Medicals: 22nd February, 2022
Applied: February 26, 2022.
Refused: May 6, 2022.

This time I applied myself using the information I got from nairaland, but unfortunately I got refused again. That was my fault, I thought the Proof of Funds was going to be enough, but it wasn't. I thought this would be my last application cos the refusal hit me so harddd, I ordered for GCMS notes to find out the main reason, nothing concrete was really written there.

"They said the documentation provided in support of the applicant's financial situation does not demonstrate that the funds would be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense". Then I knew nothing much had to be done, just to make sure my funds is higher and also to make sure it would be readily available. I decided to give it a try one last time.

Third Application:
Applied July 2, 2022
Upfront Medicals updated to pass on the 17th of August.
PPR came October 12, 2022.
Eligibility didn't start until today when I got my PPR.
Just yesterday, I messaged MP's to help me enquire about my application and they were willing to help and today boom!!!
I'm just so happy right now, the feeling is so surreal.

I really cannot believe that I am sharing my PPR testimony, I just want to thank you guys for assisting me through this whole process. Trust me it hasn't been an easy ride but God came through for me.
Then to my fellow July applicants @Thomsyne, @Isyma and other PPR expectant, I pray your applications get approved soonest. For those that were denied keep firing, if I can get it then trust me you can.
