Glory be to God! I celebrate with you ToluDstar: 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.

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.

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.

JanezBae: Greetings to Everyone!
I wnt to apply for a PhD in a Uni in Ontario or Alberta by next fall 2022. I hv a master's already n so I feel going 4 another master's degree will be repetitive. Moreso, I feel a PhD will show academic progression in my Visa app.
However, I'm concerned abt d long duration of d course (4yrs), noting that if I succeed, I will be on a study permit visa/TRV for abt 4 yrs plus. Given d uncertainties of Ircc laws, I feel d earlier d better in evrything. Knowing that my major aim of going 4 d program is to get a PR.
My Questions are: is there any possibility or route thru whc a PhD student can get a PR while still studying in Ontario or Alberta or any other province, thru provincial nomination. My course is not available in New Brunswick Uni.
Must I complete the program bf I can apply for a PR?
Getting PR thru SOWP for spouse doesn't apply to me cos I ain't yet married.
I don't mind taking TEF Canada if there would be an opportunity thru d French path in any province.
Pls am open to all gud suggestions.
Justmellow Other seniors in d house pls help me decide. As per the bolded, the content in the link below might be of help PHD to PostDoc to PR in Canadahttps://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/523#100850818Await more response from the gurus 1 Like |

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.

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.
