Olacherry:


What God cannot do does not exist! I can’t handle this feeling… it’s over the moon!
At last, my PPR has landed! To God be all the glory!
I’ll be back with my full gist�

Olacherry:


This is exactly my situation.

Application submitted 16th January 2022
Eligibility review started mid February 2022
Applied for GCMS 2nd March 2022
Contacted MP and they reverted that “They have reviewed my application and will contact me for medicals”
April 4th 2022 my GCMS arrived with eligibility passed, criminality passed, info sharing completed and medical passed but expired
I quickly forwarded my currrent medical sheet via webform and mails and it was updated to pass on 5th of April 2022 on my account
BVL mail dropped 7th of April 2022 and It’s been 12 days since then with no further update
I’m really exhausted!

Ayotola2020:
Hello all,

At last I got my PPR today after 5 months and 3 weeks , almost 6 months and 26 days after bvl�������������� The waiting was excruciating.

Special thanks to the rear gem on this platform @makano. He is truly competent in visa processing. I almost gave up but he gave me some advices yesterday on how to mail IRCC which I followed through and my PPR came within 24 hrs����� �

Infact my application was part of those he posted yesterday with bvl and no PPR for 26 days.

This is my timeline:

Application date: 10th Nov,2021

Biometrics: 12th Nov,2021

Medical request: 15th March, 2022

BVL: 24th March,2022

PPR: 20th April, 2022


Like I said earlier, special thanks to Makano. I am a silent member on this group but I got a lot of information here that helped me. Makano kept reassuring me when I was down.He is vast in the visa processing and also very compassionate. God bless you greatly sir.

God bless everyone here taking their time to share their timelines. I would be an ingrate not to share mine.

For all other waiting, it shall all end in praise �����

[b][/b]CONTINUATION OF LANDING GIST

The only thing I didn't like about Egyptair was there was no WiFi but the rest were on point. Finally we landed at cairo , stayed for 5hrs, it was time to board ,they asked for Arrive Can, Covid test and enrollment letter. We were served 3 rounds of food, I slept off but making sure food doesn't pass me by, after I inclined my seats so I can sleep well.
After 11hrs we got to Canada and went to scan, queue was long but was moving fast , the next queue was the first immigration, I was asked for ArriveCan receipt and passport, in my mind I was like is that all, please screenshot your receipt incase no network to log in and any money you are carrying with you just declare it, I carried all my money I didn't leave any cash in my account thank God I did because my dollar card is not working here at all, I declared the amount I carried they cleared me. I thought it was over ,I meet a shorter queue, this time is where the real exam is, some people were praying ,it got to my turn, I was saying holy ghost fire, the woman asked for my admission letter she held it and told me to login to my student portal ,I logged in with the WiFi, this woman was just acting like I am the cause of her problem, she was checking to see I have any fault, she then saw I declared my cash, she vex and I said the devil is a liar, immediately the woman was like "I don't know what you are mumbling " I just kept shot I cannot reach this far and this woman will chase me to 9ja, she stood up fear catch me, she carried my passport with her then she came back and stamped my passport and arranged my documents for me , I sighed heavily, she then told me welcome to Canada , it was as if breeze was blowing hearing it, she later told me to extend my permit and I will love it here and apologized for making me uncomfortable. In my mind I was like "did this woman come all the way from Murtala Mohammed" it's remaining for her to say "don't you know what others are doing " then I went to declare my bags,thank God I wrapped my bags, the wrapper sef tore small . The Nigerian I met were just thanking God ,we were even singing and praising God and took some pics too.
Immediately I got to the hotel I went to get phone plan , I made sure it was as cheap as anything ,they were helpful and gave me one samsung that they abandoned, I was like the same phone some people in 9ja will behave like they have made it in life is abandoned here . Then I booked appointment to open an account on Monday and also SIN. It's windy and cold . The Indians are lovely they were keeping me company at walmart ,see me crossing road and cars were waiting for me to cross fast, I started cat walking . I must blend quick . thank God I didn't experience jet lag.
Thank you everyone for helping me in one way or the other, for those that have gotten PPR get ready , those that are still waiting you will get it in Jesus name, this canada will reach everybody. It's 7:36pm time to sleep.

Facts about my SOP (7 pages)
• I called it Letter of Explanation (That is what I saw on the IRCC portal).
• It was written by me within 3 weeks, with the help of the Almighty God. Contributions were made by my husband, 2 student already in Canada, I also got a contact from Nairaland, already in canada whom I sent it to for review and he shared an SOP (an extract) with me. I added somethings from the extract to my SOP.
• I used this format: Introduction, Academic background and Work Experience (BSc. Biochemistry; completed 2008, MBA; completed November, 2021 and 10years work experience), Why I decided to study the course, Career aspiration and Volunteering experience (I added my volunteer experience because I read that it is appreciated), why school of choice, Why Canada, Proof of Means of Financial support (I created 2 tables, one showed expense and the second table showed amount available; Rella; OJC group also affirm this format when I shared with her). I had 2 lump sums: 7.5M from my co-operative savings which was transferred to my account on 04.01.2022 and my husband transferred 5M to me; a day before I submitted my application (I contacted @TheGabby; OJC group who advised that my husband should transfer it and not leave it in his account)
• Home ties: Family ties and Economic ties - My husband and Children, my professional membership and responsibility, aged parent (my mum will take care of the children to enable me focus on my studies and not be distracted), prospect of the course I’m going for and increased earning power when I return, Impact on Africa Continental free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Stages of Anxiety
• Medical Update: Feb 3rd IOM, but was not updated until Feb 23rd. This took long compared to the timelines I’ve being seeing (I did not receive mail from IOM after medical, so I contacted them and they sent my result and informed me that it has been forwarded to IRCC).
N.B: NO Webform was sent until it was updated.
• Passport sent to Abuja: When my passport was delivered by DHL to VFS for stamping on the 28th March, 2022, there was no acknowledgement email, I had to mail them before they sent my tracking number (4 mails was then received within few minutes intervals). Whenever I track it on the VFS site, the same message (application is under process at the IRCC office) is what was displayed for 4days. On the 4th day (31st March, 2022), I sent a mail to VFS Abuja to let me know the true status of the passport sent to them for stamping. Few minutes later, I received a mail from them stating that decision envelope has been dispatched (different message from what is shown when I track it on VFS Portal). About 3 hours later, I received 2 emails that the decision envelope has been received from VFS, Abuja at CVAC, Abuja and has been collected from CVAC, Abuja. (I checked my IRCC portal and Counterfoil just updated; No email received from CIC)
• Passport picked by DHL from VFS Abuja on the same day; 31st March, 2022

How I coped with the anxiety
• I prayed to God (I’m a Christian)
• I surf nairaland for any info, a lot of screenshots to read over and over again
• OJC group chats

Note: I decided to do it myself because of the experience I had with a college admission gotten through a popular person/company on Instagram offering a free admission processing (but high exchange rate for application fee). When I got access to the application, he used an unknown person as my next of kin and included unknown number as my next of kin contact. I changed it on the portal and when I complained, he said it doesn’t matter. I was shocked and right there, I made up my mind to secure another admission (University) and apply for the student visa myself which I did with the help of the Almighty God.

It has indeed ended in praises.

To all PPR hopefuls, I wish you all the best and to those keeping all the do-it-yourself platform active, thank you so much.

samuelcrestor:
Please is there any GC key January applicant whose eligibility has started?

femmybet:
How were you able to tell that eligibility has started?

Did you do upfront medicals?

Like I said, I submitted my application on 26th January and by 17th February when I checked back I saw that my eligibility review had already started, so I really can’t tell when it actually started. Also I did upfront medical but my medical wasn’t passed at the time as at that 17th February, I haven’t checked again cos I’m trying to manage my mental health

femmybet:
Please, which of the portal did you use for your application? The GCkey or the new portal?

I used the GCkey portal
