At what point do one apply for his or her family to join knowing that the visa he or she has is student visa? shupy:
All you can do now is to order for your GCMS note to have a better understanding of your application status. Decision might be made before it gets to you tho. Gurus here do not encourage applying with ones family. Application for family is done after approval for main applicant. Your profile seems promising tho, so hope for the best. |

lushk: I am sharing my timeline to encourage everyone…. I got a lot of Info from Nairaland and I hope this helps at least one person.
I reached out to an agent initially that gave me a bill of 1500 USD, when I converted to Naira, I decided to do my application my self. Thank God for grace and patience.
First time applicant -age 30 Program of study- MBA School- Rotman school of management - University of Toronto I got partial scholarship but still needed to show how I will fund the balance and my expenses.
So prior to my study permit application, I had two expired EE application my score was low so I didn’t get ITA. This made me nervous cos it was a proof that I would be looking for PR after my studies and I wasn’t sure if it would affect their decision.
Submitted my application February 19 with Upfront Medicals and my bank statement Biometric request Feb 20 Biometrics updated to pass Feb 24 Medical updated to pass Feb 26 NSE request for IELTS Feb 25 Submitted IELTS- Mar 27 BVL May 31 PPR June 1
I graduated in 2011, and I have worked in the financial services industry since 2011 from my NYSC posting. I got my Chartered financial analyst (CFA) certification in 2019 so my LOE was focused on saying I needed the MBA for career progression and to take on leadership position. I also spoke about the need for investment analysts to have a global training to prevent mismanaging large funds and negatively affecting the Nigerian capital markets.
I attached pictures of my family members, got a study leave, letter of intro and my payslips from my employer.
For economic ties I used my 75% of my pension, my car and my equity investment. The 25% of my pension I stated I would use it for my funding during my studies. The PFA gave me a letter to support this.
For funding, the first page was a letter explaining all lump sums and where they came from and I stated that it was to show sufficient liquidity. I included two tables one showing all my expected expenses for two years and all my funding. Then I included a summary table showing both incase there was any confusion that the funding was more than the expense.
My program is for 2 years so I had to show how I intended to finance it for the total duration. I didn’t want to inform any relatives so I had to sponsor my self. I got my admission in October, didn’t apply till February because of funding, I used this time to consolidate my finances and also apply for loans. I applied to Prodigy ( I was rejected) and Mpower( I got approved).
The school had an immigration lawyer that also helped me look through my letters and my forms

I sent my passport and other documents to VFS Abuja 21st May and I got it back 31st May. That's less than 2 weeks.
I am very happy and grateful.

Please I'm in a fix. I have a masters but transcript and certificate isn't ready. I finished this year January but the way its looking its till october it will be ready. The only work experience i have is my I.T and NYSC.(Admin staff in ministry of culture and toursim). I am also a director in my sister company which is registered with cac and tax payments up to date. Shes into catering and confectionaries.
Should i apply to a course with my B.A and not include i have M.A? If yes can i pick a course for a P.G.D in culinary management which is related to the company description?
Or can i apply to digital management or film making which is related to my B.A course theatre arts?
Please advice me. |

mullingtee: So I eventually got my refusal letter today, a bit relieved because of the long wait, now I am ready to tackle the issues head on. The major problem I have though is the financial aspect. My sponsor sent an approximation of CAD 10,000 to my personal account just yesterday, I am also able to access more funds, however I am of the opinion that this may seem suspicious to the VO, if more lump sum amount is suddenly being deposited to my personal account, I really need the advise of all the experts on this. So sorry, just calm down, order your GCMS notes to see exactly the reasons for the refusal, so you can address it as you re-apply |

Why don't you do upfront medicals? It will spur them to take a look at your file when the result is updated. You wouldn't want to prolong the waiting period when they send you for medicals and you can't book a closer date. I got this email response What does it mean

Thanks to everyone for the congratulatory messages, I truly appreciate y’all!! The wait wasn’t easy but we thank God for his faithfulness! I got the two emails during prayers this morning! Please never doubt God cause at some point, I began to have some doubts. Only this morning when I woke up did I regain some faith again, just before I got my PPR. This is such a wonderful birthday gift as my birthday is later this month and God just perfected everything!
LONG POST ALERT!! My journey (Omo my talk fit plenty small) I started this journey around May 2020. I wanted to go for a Masters in Accounting and finance at the University of Toronto which was what delayed me till this point. They needed a special CPA assessment for international students which included a WES ICAP evaluation. I paid for all and I carried out the assessment. The assessment was to only to know whether you are qualified to apply based on your degree/transcript. Due to our failed educational system in Nigeria, I couldn’t get course outlines for each course I did from 100L to 400L from my school which the U of T required for the assessment thereby making me unable to apply. This whole period took about 3/4 months before I knew I couldn’t even apply to start with. I went on to apply to Simon Fraser and University of Windsor. Simon Fraser answered me fast but their fees are over $50k plus they needed GMAT for me to gain admission. They sent mails every month for a while asking for my GMAT score in other to gain admission. I didn’t have the time to take GMAT because I was preparing for my ACCA exams and besides, the fees were outrageous so I just ignored Simon Fraser as well. Windsor was my bus stop. I applied and it took about 3 months before they gave me my admission for Winter 2021. I had to defer till summer/spring due to the unavailability of time to prepare documents for study permit. As at December 2020, all my documents were ready except medicals and IELTS. I booked dates for medicals and IELTS for January 2021. I did both of them and got results sharply. Due to some issues, I had to wait until February before I submitted my full application with my NSE documents. I got an application confirmation on that day and another update a day after. I didn’t do biometrics because I had applied for a visiting visa in the past so IRCC applied the same biometrics to my application. Omo the wait was long! I got a fantastic job offer during this period o and the confusion began; whether or not to forget everything about traveling and commit to working at a top investment bank for two years. I said in my mind my God doesn’t do unfinished business. I even had to start my first semester here from Nigeria and it was a bit tough but God did it. God doesn’t do half work. I kept on refreshing my mail for dayssssssss without updates. Finally, June 2, 2021 during NLP prayers, I got two updates successively. Mind you, powerful fasting and prayers had been going on personally during this period o. I am even currently fasting! Finally oooo my people, I got PPR. My application wasn’t perfect as there were lump sums left unexplained in my sponsor’s statements but God was faithful! To show you how God works and to give hope to some people, we transferred some funds to my Dad’s statements just a day or two before we did the mbs for the two accounts, although the account have solid history and they are quite buoyant.
Before I forget, about a month or two ago, I contacted the parliament members in Windsor and they really helped as they contacted ircc on my behalf and also sent their correspondence to me. That was how I knew my application was being handled in Nairobi. For about 10 days now, I had sent emails and webforms to Nairobi informing them that I already commenced classes and I pleaded with them to speed up my application process. I also ordered my GCMS notes on May 17 but I guess I won’t be needing that anymore lol. All in all, I received the favour of God guys. Thanks to all the gurus in the house for always responding to all our questions and concerns (Justmellow, Frankrobbn, Lekkiboboe) and everybody else, may God continue to uplift you guys. @Teenie19 and marcelonwa, I dey wait for una PPRs too plus everybody else waiting for PPR, God will favour us all by his Grace.
DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED: * STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (TWO PAGES EXPLAINING WHY I’D RETURN TO NIGERIA) * BIRTH CERTIFICATE * ALL ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES TILL DATE * NYSC CERTIFICATE * ALL PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS ACQUIRED (THEY WERE ALL RELATED TO MY COURSE) * CURRICULUM VITAE * LETTER OF SPONSORSHIP ON SPONSOR’S COMPANY LETTERHEAD * CAC DOCUMENTS * MEMAT (MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION) * AFFIDAVIT FOR CORRECTION OF NAME ERROR IN CAC DOCUMENTS * AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR SPONSOR’S COMPANY. * RECEIPT OF SEMESTER PAYMENT (10,655 CAD). * IELTS - GENERAL * UPFRONT MEDICALS * MYBANKSTATEMENT - TWO TICKET IDs FOR 6 MONTHS EACH. * SPONSOR’S LAND DOCUMENTS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY FOR TWO LANDS OWNED BY SPONSOR.
God did it guys! Goodluck to everyone else seeking PPR, God will make his face shine upon everybody in this house ijn���� I no dey commot this thread sha as you guys helped a whole lot, we gather dey!
TIMELINE: Application submission: February 4, 2021. Application in process: February 5, 2021. I don remember when exactly my eligibility review started/when my medicals turned to passed. Didn’t get NSE request as I submitted all documents upfront. Contacted Kusmierczyk Irek, a member of parliament on April 13, 2021. Got a reply that same day and was told to fill some forms. They didn’t get back to me until May 4, when they sent the correspondence with the visa office in Nairobi. This reply was quite detailed and different from the usual generic replies we always get. I started sending emails and webforms to Nairobi from May 17, 2021 (the same day I ordered for my GCMS notes). I got some generic responses about my application being under active review and all of that but I didn’t stop sending webforms.
BVL: June 2, 2021; 7:28am PPR: June 2, 2021; 7:32am
Goodluck to everyone waiting for PPR once again and to those that were delayed, please do not give up as God will definitely crown your efforts with success.

They needed a special CPA assessment for international students which included a WES ICAP evaluation. I paid for all and I carried out the assessment. The assessment was to only to know whether you are qualified to apply based on your degree/transcript. Due to our failed educational system in Nigeria, I couldn’t get course outlines for each course I did from 100L to 400L from my school which the U of T required for the assessment thereby making me unable to apply. This whole period took about 3/4 months before I knew I couldn’t even apply to start with. I went on to apply to Simon Fraser and University of Windsor. Simon Fraser answered me fast but their fees are over $50k plus they needed GMAT for me to gain admission. They sent mails every month for a while asking for my GMAT score in other to gain admission. I didn’t have the time to take GMAT because I was preparing for my ACCA exams and besides, the fees were outrageous so I just ignored Simon Fraser as well. Windsor was my bus stop. I applied and it took about 3 months before they gave me my admission for Winter 2021. I had to defer till summer/spring due to the unavailability of time to prepare documents for study permit. As at December 2020, all my documents were ready except medicals and IELTS. I booked dates for medicals and IELTS for January 2021. I did both of them and got results sharply. Due to some issues, I had to wait until February before I submitted my full application with my NSE documents. I got an application confirmation on that day and another update a day after. I didn’t do biometrics because I had applied for a visiting visa in the past so IRCC applied the same biometrics to my application. Omo the wait was long! I got a fantastic job offer during this period o and the confusion began; whether or not to forget everything about traveling and commit to working at a top investment bank for two years. I said in my mind my God doesn’t do unfinished business. I even had to start my first semester here from Nigeria and it was a bit tough but God did it. God doesn’t do half work. I kept on refreshing my mail for dayssssssss without updates. Finally, June 2, 2021 during NLP prayers, I got two updates successively. Mind you, powerful fasting and prayers had been going on personally during this period o. I am even currently fasting! Finally oooo my people, I got PPR. My application wasn’t perfect as there were lump sums left unexplained in my sponsor’s statements but God was faithful! To show you how God works and to give hope to some people, we transferred some funds to my Dad’s statements just a day or two before we did the mbs for the two accounts, although the account have solid history and they are quite buoyant.
Before I forget, about a month or two ago, I contacted the parliament members in Windsor and they really helped as they contacted ircc on my behalf and also sent their correspondence to me. That was how I knew my application was being handled in Nairobi. For about 10 days now, I had sent emails and webforms to Nairobi informing them that I already commenced classes and I pleaded with them to speed up my application process. I also ordered my GCMS notes on May 17 but I guess I won’t be needing that anymore lol. All in all, I received the favour of God guys. Thanks to all the gurus in the house for always responding to all our questions and concerns (Justmellow, Frankrobbn, Lekkiboboe) and everybody else, may God continue to uplift you guys. @Teenie19 and marcelonwa, I dey wait for una PPRs too plus everybody else waiting for PPR, God will favour us all by his Grace.

TIMELINE: Application submission: February 4, 2021. Application in process: February 5, 2021. I don remember when exactly my eligibility review started/when my medicals turned to passed. Didn’t get NSE request as I submitted all documents upfront. Contacted Kusmierczyk Irek, a member of parliament on April 13, 2021. Got a reply that same day and was told to fill some forms. They didn’t get back to me until May 4, when they sent the correspondence with the visa office in Nairobi. This reply was quite detailed and different from the usual generic replies we always get. I started sending emails and webforms to Nairobi from May 17, 2021 (the same day I ordered for my GCMS notes). I got some generic responses about my application being under active review and all of that but I didn’t stop sending webforms.
BVL: June 2, 2021; 7:28am PPR: June 2, 2021; 7:32am
Goodluck to everyone waiting for PPR once again and to those that were delayed, please do not give up as God will definitely crown your efforts with success.
Cheers.
