Hello.

Does IOM accept payment made a day prior to your appointment date??

Simply ensure you have your printed transfer receipt as proof of payment. The date of payment wouldn't be a problem

Leo222:
Pls I’m a bit worried since I submitted my application myself and I would love any guru here to tell me what my stands are for a visa approval.

July 3rd applicant - Gckey.
Biometrics updated - July 5th.
Upfront medical updated passed - August 3rd.
Eligibility never started till date

School - Niagara college Toronto, tuition $19,000
Course - Hospitality and tourism management.
Previous work history - NYSC
Current work - apprentice job I serve as an assistant tourism manager
In SOP - stated I completed my Bsc in banking and finance 2019

Documents submitted.
Sponsorship letter from my mom.
Mothers zenith bank statement 4 months, open balance 6m closing balance 16m.
Treasury bill of 12m in zenith bank duration 1 year, dropped in account 30th June before printing bank statement.
Tuition deposit receipt $5000CAD.
LOA.
SOP.
International passport.
NIN.
Passport photograph.
Flights reservation including return flight.


That’s all. No travel history, no police certificate nor did I upload my transcript, university certificate, or NYSC certificate no IELTS, no affidavit and no document was notarized. I felt since the school already gave me admission I didn’t have to upload academic qualification and also didn’t know to submit some other things but I see them on people’s submitted documents in PPR testimonies

The money part is okay . U should HV included Ur degree cert or statement of result. Also, hope Ur tailored your sop that your previous work was done in an hospitality to show career progression. Because there's no relationship between what u studied and what u are going for . These are just my few observations but las las them need your money and it clear your people are capable and u will be granted. Be hopeful

Thank you very much for the reassurance.

EagleEye4040:
With what is going on, I feel this @Express2021 guy na agent too

1. Whatsapp groups are not tolerated here. But he talk say him and other guys (agents) do follow up on a guy that he added to WhatsApp.


So you have been stealing traffic from here go your Whatsapp group where you go dey free to do what you like Abi?


2. @CharistoJames raised some points and I reason with am

3. If this guy just one raise issue as he talk, He supposed don return to his real handle by now.

Dude is now giving advice here after creating attention for himself.

I hereby dissociate myself from this guy. And I don add him to the list of my suspect on this thread


This doesn't mean @Justmellow and @Frankrobbn1 and @Makano no dey guilty of fake PPR testimony

I see, for your mind I've slept that's why you came here to yarn dust, unfortunately for you I'm active 247.
Whc value have u added to this platform aside answering eagle eye abi vulture nose? U dnt value anyone in this group, if you do you won't come back saying anything aside assisting people and answering questions. I only gave room for people to ask questions and get responsible ans cus we've obviously used morethan enough time to find out suspected criminals but u do not care abt anyone interest, how do you want me to value you?
If at all you knw what you're doing, why didn't you observe people post fake PPR here until I detected it then u can here claiming I work with u, just to be attached to job I did.

@EagleEye4040
This is about pastor charitojames
1. Charitojames remains a suspect incase u dnt knw, it is very clear. He claims she prays for people and awaiting PPR, their was a time he will always form pastor and tell people to submit their names so she can add to his prayer list and go to the alter, after sometime I observed same person forming pastor is now very rude, insulting people, arguing unnecessarily etc. Is that how real pastors behave?

2. Charitojames is suspected to operate on other accounts I will still name them later. How you will know this, she yarn dust most times, even during yarning his normal dust he will use his numerous accounts to be supporting his dusts, no matter how terrible his dust is, you will still see accounts supporting his dusts.

3. I've been addressing the account as Him, yes he's suspected to be a man and he'll be forming woman, women no too get time to involve theirself in the kind òf thing he involves himself, yet he claims to be a woman...
I will reveal more things about him.
For now be careful with Charitojames his intention seems not to be good, investigation is still on going.

Saying that I'm an agent
Saying that I'm an agent is nothing but insensitive baseless comment, I never asked anyone to contact me or direct anyone to contact someone and I will never do so. If you wish to ask me anything ask it here on the thread or if you send me dm I will ignore you.
For the person I tracked I suspected fake PPR that's why I followed up with that particular user and ended up finding my instinct were not wrong.

A big congratulations to you and I must confess that I like your diversification strategy and thank God that it worked well for you.

Disclaimer: I'm not an agent, and neither am I a guru. This may not answer your question directly and it might sound a bit off, but I just thought to share, since some people are more focused on derailing this thread.

So, let's analyze this together from a point of reason. Pay attention to the emboldened words.

The primary purpose of applying to schools abroad irrespective of the country is to relocate. This, I believe is true for many, but if not for you, then my analysis could be useless to you. Your single most important service to yourself is to make a decision that is beneficial long-term and this might require cutting some short-term losses.

First of all, I don't think you'll be able to use the Canada study permit while running your program in the UK, unless you defer your admission to a time you'd have completed your UK program. What this means is that you'd incur tuition and living expenses first in the UK (plus flight costs) and then, Canada. Double Expenses.

Second, there is a risk of losing the Canada Visa if the school refuses to accept deferral or you're not able to complete your program in the UK in record time, or as a result of any other unforeseen circumstance.

What you need to consider:

How long does it take to become a Permanent Resident in the UK and Canada? I think 5 and 3 years respectively
How long does it take to become a Citizen in the UK and Canada? I think 6 and 5 years respectively
Will your child become a citizen if delivered when you're still a temporary resident in the UK and Canada? I think No and Yes respectively
What is the process of securing PR (ILR) in the UK and Canada? For UK, you'll need an employer at some point and for Canada, it's a 100% self-driven process.
Can you get a refund for your flight and Tuition?
Can you afford to lose those funds? and if you do, what's the Opportunity Cost - For instance, if the UK program tuition cost is 15,000pounds and Canada Program Tuition cost is 10,000CAD per year. It might still make sense to forgo what you've paid because living cost in the UK is generally higher than in Canada (of course, there are other location-based factors to consider).

If I were in your shoes, I'll go for Canada no matter the short-term losses.

Again, Congratulations. This is definitely a good problem to have.

Good evening Nairalanders.....

God had finally picked my call concerning Canada Study Visa application.... but I need advice from great men and women of this forum.

1. I applied for Canadian Study visa sometimes in April this year, after a long wait without decision on the application, I submitted a fresh application to other schools in the UK. Further to this, I applied for UK study visa which was successful.

2. Just the week after the UK visa came out, Canada sent mail that my application has been approved that I should send my original passport for stamping.

3. I have booked my flight already to UK and I have paid almost 80% of my school fees in the UK.

4. My confusion now is that if I should send my passport to Nairobi, I will not be able to meet up with my travel plan to UK.

5. I really wish to get the Canadian visa, my question is now that " CAN I GET MY PASSPORT STAMPED WHEN I GET TO UK AT THE CANADIAN EMBASSY IN UK?

Thank you so very much to everyone, as I anticipate your candid advice.

Express2021 Please go and rest. I appreciate your efforts but what you have done is very unnecessary. I keep track of this thread to learn something new but the past few pages have been a serious waste of time reading through.

If you want to make complaints. Keep it short and sweet. You see how people are attacking you personally? Let them be. Mind your business and face your front. Allow them to get scammed if that's what is destined to happen to them.

I have seen charitojames on Facebook. So sorry, but you're wrong, and yes, you've lost quite a lot of credibility from your accusations.

EagleEye4040 I disagree. We should not ban experienced folks like Frankrobbn1 even though they are agents. We should just ask them to share more value through information. Maybe he can post some discussions he has on his WhatsApp groups. If people see him as an expert, they will naturally come to him. He doesn't have to indirectly market his services.

angie88 Your personal attacks on Express2021 are very unnecessary. I won't bother quoting them but you know what you said. Low self esteem? You need to take a look at yourself first. As someone who can say such things, you have issues yourself.

Teebabe2806 You don't get the point. This place is for people to learn and get advice to submit applications on their own not to be marketed to. Those who want agents will look for agents by themselves.

Let's stop all this talk about fake PPRs and go back to helping each other. The main take away is that people who post PPRs should also post evidence with screenshots. And agents providing advice should include disclaimers that they are agents. That way, people who contact them will know what to expect.

Thank you very much. It's refreshing to see such an informative post after a long time. Please keep contributing when you have time.

If you submit your passport in the UK, I think they will have to send it all the way to Nairobi to get printed. You can try calling the Canadian embassy in UK to confirm this.

But why do you still want to get the Canadian student visa? Do you still want to study in Canada? I wonder if getting the visa and not going will look bad on you in future applications.

You see this is where you’re WRONG…. Please quote me where I said people shouldn’t do it by themselves In as much as we’re trying to “DIY” let’s consider that as a first time applicant getting a refusal is not always a good thing as it places a high disadvantage on reapplication….. I remember someone gave a testimony here of how he applied up to 4 times and after filing for judicial review he discovered that the computer had flagged his UCI number (meaning if he kept applying he’d keep getting refusals)….. One more thing; you said those who wants agents will look for agents by themselves….. why are you wicked Oga? So you want them to fall into the hands of scammers I dropped my timeline here and anyone who wants to confirm if it’s fake or not, feel free to email me or request for proof because I’ve got nothing to hide!
I know you’re trying to settle whatever was said but this is a very wrong approach to things, you did something right but in a wrong way!

Again, people come here to learn how to do their applications themselves. If they are guided properly, it's very possible to do so successfully even if it's their first time. We've seen many success stories before on this thread and previous threads. Your indirect promotion of agents is not welcomed. If people want agents, they can ask for recommendations and we will recommend them.

I know the point you're trying to make but this is not the right way to go about it.
You can't tell me that even after this supposed scammers have been exposed people wouldn't still get scammed.
Let's try to respect the history of the thread... personally reading the whole saga made me have a different feeling about the thread...
Months ago people were genuinely helping each other. But with these sort of approach people would not feel the need to share their testimonies and experiences.

My point too, since they exposed them, everyone have taken note I'm sure no one will want to deal with those ppl they mentioned severally. Let the thread rest pls

I have received help as i asked of the Lord!!!!
What God cannot do does not exist!!!

Today is the day that the Lord has made!!!
