I'm a banker please kindly ask your account officer to verify his info and for the sake of others who may want to hinge their hopes on this, below are the requirements for PTA application for which students are currently ineligible.


Applicants shall be eighteen (18) years of age and above.
Sales of PTA shall be for travel to be undertaken not more than 14 days from the
day of the purchase of PTA.
Applicants could be account holders or non-account holders in the bank.
PTA shall only apply to journeys of not less than five (5) hours flight time.
Applicants shall present verifiable BVNs to their bankers.
Applicants shall have valid visa of the country of destination.
Applicants shall have a return air ticket.
Applicants shall be holders of valid Nigerian International Passport.
The flight must originate from Nigeria.
Applicants shall be entitled to $4,000.00 per quarte

Akannitommy:
Students are eligible unless this is a new policy (change). I bought PTA twice as a student 10 years ago and I used a one-way ticket. I am not sure about the policy on 1-way or 2-way ticket being an eligibility criteria either based on personal experience and confirmation with my account officer just now. All they need is a valid ticket, valid visa, valid passport for more than 6-months and equivalent (Naira) cash in your bank account. The processing speed will however be determined by the availability of $. So the advice I got was to send in my request as soon as possible because it would on first come, first served basis. So your travel plans may be the only thing that will prevent you from getting the $4,000 PTA @ CBN rate. I could be wrong but that is what I know and also validated by my account officer.

Pls I need someone to give me the VFS contact no ,we submit passport since Nov 3rd, yet to receive it,only got mail that it's in transit to Canada Application center!!

Wow, you must have given it ur all within that short time.Congratulations for the success in the IELTS. The IRCC letter says MyBankStatement with POF of at least 6 months with 12 months bank history.In my opinion( I stand to be corrected though), POF for 12 months = 1st year tuition+1000CAD. POF for 6 months = 1st semester tuition+ 5000CAD. In a normal situation and based on you have funding, minimum POF for 6 months is 0(coz u have funding for the tuition) + 5000CAD(ur 6 months living expenses)= 5000CAD. This is just my thought, I am not sure if this is the expectation of IRCC/ ur VO

So, guys, I gave IELTS Academic a shot last week Thursday( using the Computer Delivered method. Result came out this morning and somehow, God helped me to get 7.5, and I prepared for less than a week due to the NSE urgency. But then, I am still not settled yet about the funding part, do you people feel I should add my funding letter plus mybankstatement authentication slip showing about 4,700 cad as financial support? I don't want it to be used against me since they specifically said mybankstatement,but then, I don't want to wait till God knows when for Visa application outcome. I just need general advice from y'all. Please, I am very confused.

Hello JosephYemsol

Please, what did you use in determining your rating? Have you done admission with them before or what? I asked because am processing admission with humber presently.

Thanks

I have friends who finished from George brown and humber. I am particularly closer with the humber graduate and he's currently doing excellently well.

Anyways, my ranking is based on students success stories generally.

Furthermore, the rank was made based on only the 4 schools you mentioned and not a rank of all colleges n canada

Sorry, my destination is UBC Vancouver.

I know it’s your call but I think you are rushing the process. I would’ve done my exams home in Nigeria and then travel late December or early January to commence a new semester/term (Winter).

Considering the distance, flight time and possible jet lag and nauseous feeling after a long flight, it may be unsettling to do an exam immediately.

Fingers crossed, all will end well.

rebecausoro:


My exam starts next week after three months of online learning. I booked a flight for Saturday already. I've paid for quarantine plans sef. I've made concrete plans that would go to waste if I don't travel this week. VFS is just making me stressed.

Hello guys,

So I studied computer science but I have experience in IT project management. So I want to ask if I can apply for a post graduate certificate in Project Management and not have issue during visa application.

Pls I need advice.

Me no go even mind if them just flash the “approved” once

Akannitommy:
Same thing here but I was able to sign in a few minutes ago finally. I see changes to my status changed from "submitted" to "Application/Profile updated" and then to "Approved". But am unable to view the full application page. It goes off to "Bad gateway". I think they are working on it.

Am also experiencing this same scenerio aswell, I wasn't able to check my application status even with different browsers on both Phone and Laptop.

But am quite surprised I didn't get a donotreply mail from IRCC to this update on my GCkey Profile

I haven't gotten the 4th Email from VFS aswell, I submitted my Passport NOV 5

We are in the same batch. They are working on our files am sure of that. I didn't get the email either and haven't been able to sign in for the past hour. We should get updates tomorrow hopefully. And no 4th email either (yet)!
