I got my request for medicals and a new admission letter( because I deferred) on October 5th
My agent submitted a new admission letter on the same day I got the request via email
Did my medicals on October 30th, showed passed medicals on November 4th
After a while of not hearing from IRCC, I asked around and someone told me I was meant to submit the admission letter via web form
After submitting via web form (October 13th ) my profile updated to all necessary document received
December 17th I got my first corresponding letter but to date, I have not gotten any passport request
What can I do or has anyone experienced this before? Thanks

Background check (BGC) is a procedure to verify the criminal and/or security background of visa applicants to ensure they’re admissible to Canada. This involves criminality check, security screening and information sharing and most times involves the support of Canadian Security Intelligence service. At this stage IRCC is reviewing to be sure the applicant wont pose a security threat to Canada. This is the stage where the IRCC does country by country information sharing with other countries like the USA, UK etc to see if they have any information on the applicant that poses security threat or risk. Sometimes they can check social media platforms Linkedln, facebook etc for further checks.

While Eligibility review is confirming if the applicant is a genuiene student and truly intends to study in Canada. This is a critical part of the application At this stage, a visa officer of the IRCC reviews the applicant statement of purpose or letter of explantion, letter of acceptance from the designated learning institution, career progression, home ties, proof of funds etc. Sometimes based on their discretion, they can contact the current employer for confirmation of his/her employment status. This is where they make thier decision whether to grant an approval.

Oh thanks alot

Renew before applying for your study permit it's already 6months to Expiry so you can renew it in January which is better.

It is better you apply for another passport before submitting your application to avoid issues when they request for your passport and want to affix the Visa stamp.

Hi, Please how are you able to know the office processing your application?

Qcanvs38mimi:

davo99:
Hi, Please how are you able to know the office processing your application?

IRCC Nairobi (Kenya) is the Office processing applications of NIGERIAN APPLICANTS

If you have someone in Canada, use his/her number. If you don't have, I think you can use your Naija number (not too sure though)

davo99:
Hi, Please how are you able to know the office processing your application?

You can raise a webform requesting that you want to know where your file is being processed.i actually did that and they replied that my application is still in process and that it's being processed in Nairobi Kenya.

lentomac:

quote author=Akannitommy post=97513241]Hi team,

I arrived in Montreal 23 hours ago - on Turkish Airlines after stopping 8 hours in Istanbul - but spent the first 6 hours at the YUL - Montreal airport. A mix of Covid-19 protocol plus the crowd of students coming in this period made the queue too long. I can't do much reporting now as I am still jet lagged but I just wanted say thanks to everyone who has been and continue to be a part of this journey. In a few days when am well rested, I will return with fuller gist of the lessons from this trip.

NB: my phone and laptop batteries dried up while drafting this message initially some 15 hours ago. I have now been able to sort the recharging/plugging problem with the kind help of Frater.... So I add my voice to the advice that those coming next should quickly find a way to plug and charge their devices before or upon arrival. [/quote]

iampaulsmith:
Yes, my eligibility review started 8 days after I got the NSE request letter and I didn’t submit any of the document.

Thanks for your response bro.

I am positive everything will be concluded in a short while.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES

BVL - 25th Nov 2020
Sent web form about 2-3 weeks prior to receiving BVL asking for update as application has gone beyond standard processing time, got no acknowledgement or response initially, wasn't surprised as the province had not started allowing Int'l students at secondary school level.

I later received a response from my 1st webform to Guanzu, it didn't say anything just FYA of a forwarded mail to TR enquiries. I sent another set of webforms and mails saying that I've received BVL but no final decision yet, sent this once a week for 2 weeks.

Special thank you to everyone that takes time out to respond to enquiries, God bless you and may everyone looking for a favourable response, get it shortly.

Happy new year, folks!

Definitely bro! I am confident about that too.

Congratulations!!! See as Lagos VFS do well. I think a lot of people got their PPR at the same time and most sent their PP over there, probably too much PP to process (still not an excuse for them anyway). Once again congratulations to your daughter!
