NairaLuck:
just a little advise to new applicants from October and maybe late September

Kindly exercise long patience
The PPRs you witnessed this week and last 2weeks were applications from March to August and some August and September are yet to receive an update.

It's good to anticipate but with Canada, the only way to avoid slipping into depression is taking your mind off your application going about your normal duties, engage yourselves and redirect your mind else where. The green light to most successful applications is MEDICAL REQUEST.
Even when you receive such, sometimes they still delay a lil bit before final approval, nor Let IRCC rush your application go give you NEGATIVE.

Patience is the key, Standard processing time is now 15weeks so put your mind to rest.
You may only start sending emails to the different offices on your status after the standard processing time. Again, Nor Let IRCC rush your application go give you NEGATIVE.

Constant checking won't in anyway influence the decision, once submitted, the others is between GOD, the VO and the DOCs you provided, and SOP,
however KEEP HOPE ALIVE

We will all get there
IT IS STILL OUR MONTH OF PRAISE

Another set of BVL and PPR will rain from 15th to 18th

Thanks NairaLuck, I did my biometrics a week ago now and I am anxious so much already lol, I really need this , and can I ask how long does it take to get a medical request, a friend got his medical request only just after 5 days so just asking

kelvine95:


5 days What year was that?
I don't even think IRCC have started reviewing eligibility for us that applied between first week of October and now.

DeeWan:


Congratulations! If I may ask, when did you submit your passport to VFS for stamping?

BlegendE:
Almost 2 weeks

adeenzo:


Thanks for the update Elizdee, now I have someone in my timeline, please if it’s not too much of a bother can I contact you via email...
thanks

No bank has any right to disclose your bank statement to a third party, I called two of my friends that work in banks they said they can't do that except in cases where there is a court injunction.

sleekcheek:
So how else do you think IRCC verifies bank statements? Banks may not be able to reveal your account balance but they can confirm a mail from IRCC asking them if so and so amount was in your account during a certain period.

BlegendE:

I stand to be corrected. I doubt if this information is correct. Vfs does not check your documents. Their job is to check the validity and authenticity of your passport. Please gurus, we need your input on this

MrsFavour2020:


Thanks for the prompt, please find reply below

1) It was an online application
2) I have not even gotten medical request not to talk of passport request
3) No, only done biometrics so far

Your concerns are also mine hence my being her incase anyone has similar experience of can order help.

Thanks alot dear, please do you know what I can do?

Okay. A friend of mine submitted at about the same period, on 28th Oct. 2020 to be precise and he is yet to hear from VFS.

IRCC officials are trained. They don't need to call your bank to know the nooks and crannies of your financial situation. They are former lawyers and accountants that know so much about these compact fields. They act on their own discretion and have links with secret service and investigators in their country. They even know a lot about your country

Kimkalash:
Seeing that you were formerly refused, i swear you cant imagine how happy i am for you. It takes so much strength to rise from failure. I feel kinda proud that one of us has started the journey and finished it. Congratulations brother.

Spotlights:
Finally!
It is here!
PPR DROPPED

It ended in praise.
@iceman2020 please confirm

BlegendE:
Finally approved. Meaning that, VFS will send a return message soonest. �����

All Glory be TO GOD. Amen

Ircc verifies bank statements while processing your application (I’m not sure about the verification process after ppr). The verified mine, I saw it in my gcms notes. They emailed my bank (eco bank) to know if the statement came from the bank. It might not happen all the time but it does happen. I don’t think they would ask for the account balance or details outside of the period of the statement which was given to them though.

Dampops:
I’m sure he should have heard from them yesterday or this morning. Contact him

englois:
Good morning house
I'd like to know if the 10000CAD required for student permit should be in CAD or the naira equivalent? Thanks

JustMellow:


Hello MrsFavour2020,

Go on IRCC website, create a new GcKey Online Account and link your application to the new account using your Application Number, if you have it. This will help you monitor the live updates yourself.

All the best

Hello Nairalanders, the GCMS note is here. Kindly help dissect and direct me on what to do.

Please Note-

I am applying alone.

JustMellow:


Hello Sirromey,

IRCC can verify any section of the BS only on the exception of the closing/sitting balance. If the VO is concerned about the availability of the closing balancing, a request for either an updated BS or MyBankStatement ID would be sent. If the requested information/documents specified wasn't met within the specfied time, the application might tarried and/or rejected.

All the best

JustMellow:


In any readily available currency of convenient.

NairaLuck:

It's possible but it's very very very rare I think I only saw 2 cases like that on this platform this year, although it was AIP dropping about 7days.

Like I said patience is the key, while some get approved within a month others take months.
I for instance my application is 84days today but we're still waiting, although I did upfront Medical.
Those very fast applications are like 3% of applicants and sometimes are not applications from Nigeria while some are from here.
Every application is different
