PPR Alert!

2nd time applicant.

1st application was denied based on financial assets. I was very disappointed as I thought my profile and financial history was good enough to get PPR.

My guru @Makano advised we order for GCMS and quickly re-fire. So we ordered for the notes, it came back and we gathered that the VO had issues with lump sum on my account statements.

So we quickly adjusted my SOP and provided explanations plus verifiable receipts for the lump sum, and reapplied again.

As God may have it, application was approved.

I don't think you should withdraw your application now. I applied on March 9th and got my PPR on October 20th. DejiiiiB, keep believing! Some few tips to stimulating a decision on your application (given that it has been long you applied):

1. Send emails to Abuja, Lagos, Nairobi, London, and Beijing offices. Sometimes, these offices push your email to Nairobi...Note, these offices would tell you that your files are in Nairobi but some may still send a reminder to Nairobi from their end. it happened to me when Nairobi replied to a mail I had sent to Beijing. Also, Abuja gave me a special link to a new webform site that has quick response and also gave a short and direct reply to one of my mails. They said "Nairobi would reach out to you once they've finalize your application". I got my PPR in 40days time. This may add weight to reminding Nairobi office.

2. You could use the subject of your mail as [URGENT] Request for Update on my Study Permit Application

or use

[URGENT] Request for Expediting the Processing of my Study Permit Application. If this, then request for urgent processing of your application because it is more than 8months and you don't have online options after January 2023.

3. In your mail, state that you do not have online options from January. Bolden this sentence in your mail, also bolden that it has been 8 months since you submitted your application. This makes their eyes go to the main points of your mail quickly.

4. Add that the delay is disrupting your academic and career plans. Be a little emotional e.g. state that it is affecting you mentally.

5. Schedule your mail to be sent 8am in the local time of the office. E.g. Nairobi is 2hrs ahead of us. So, schedule your mail to be sent 6am WAT. This could make it among the first mail that pops up as they resume work. Plus the [URGENT] in your mail subject could trigger them to read it. Only use [URGENT] keyword in the mail subject if it is really urgent, else it could be seen as false alarm and may not be good for you (I saw this in their website). Well, your case can be considered to be urgent.

6. Apply for GCMS notes. If you have, what does the Assessment section says? If you have and it hasn't been delivered for more than 45days, start sending the GCMS agent mails once every week. They would send IRCC reminder mail...I did this.

7. We can only do much, if you are a Christian, I recommend you fast and pray.

All the best, These tips are not absolute but I am confident you will receive a decision soon.

Same! It seems like that's the new development. Did u pay dhl for 2way courier?

This is very sad, so sorry about that.

Have you tried Seneca? They have application waiver.

skentelelady:


98% of colleges dont accept 3rd class. You can try st Lawrence in Ontario., NBCC and NSCC. Check if they have your prefered program.

Send email to school. Some will tell you they cany tell.ypu anything u till you apply and pay app location fees then story will start. Some will tell.they dont accept 3rd class. When sending email please ask if they accept 3rd as well as your CGPA.

Dear Gurus in the house.
Please i have a question. my sister got admission and about to apply for visa. She has two kids. both american citizen (by birth though all in Nigeria presently). The last born does not have a Nigerian passport yet but done and she was told it might take some time before she gets the babys Nigerian passport. She is press in time and want to apply ASAP .
Question is can she apply for the study permit with the united state passport for them or what other option is available. though i was also thinking since usa citizen can go into canada for 6mth without visa probably she can just do hers and when she gets to canada and also whe she has gotten their passport she can then apply for student permit for them in canada. Please any guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks

kweje:

Dear Daffy, you no longer need ArriveCan. Just keep your LOA, proof of payment if any, proof of enrollment if any handy. If not registered for classes yet, they will ask who is sponsoring or MAY ask for SOA.
I know who people travelled recently without ArriveCan.

All the best.

It's PPR guys.

First time applicant. All the information I sourced was from this thread. I am coming bank to drop my full timeline.

August 4th applicant - I did everything myself.

In the meantime, how long does it take for passport to be returned after submission. I really need to get my stamped passport in less than a week.

Please after one gets a refusal, is there anything like “reconsideration”


Thanks

danherb:
Good day great people, I just got admission at Niagara college. Pls, is there any review about the college? I also applied for Fanshewe and Humber colleges though waiting for their decisions.

SoftdudeKay:


Bro please, can you help post the emails on here for our easy access. I know it’s been posted once but I couldn’t navigate to the page. Sorry for the stress and thanks in anticipation.

Chiziteremary:
Congrats. May the land of Canada favour u in Jesus name.

johnstan:


Aii. I have seen someone here with SOP of one page, I think its the thread before this current thread and he was approved while someone with SOP of 5 pages with several hyperlinks init got rejected so the length isn't a determinant but the content.
I'm not certain the content of yours but if you are confident that it was not compelling then I'm sure you must be right about that.

Someone here too have gotten PPR without paying tuition deposits, if I remember, they explained that it was not compulsory by the school to do that, so not paying though a risky move is not a certain refusal determinant - they showed good POF tho.
Some days ago someone got PPR with a fixed deposit account as POF.

In the previous thread a 45yrs old individual got PPR at the second attempt so you can imagine the length of study gap there.

In all its your SOP that can make or break the application and you are certain you did not do a good job with it.

In the previous thread ( I'm mentioning this a lot cos that's where I joined and migrated to this current thread) someone had a long processing time like yours, orderd his gcms notes only to realise that he had been refused several months before his request for his notes so request for yours and be certain of the situation before you act (withdraw the application).

You are also right, you will need a dollar card to order the notes not a naira card.

Good luck
