- I submitted proof of funds, 6 month bank statement, employment letters, pay stubs, and W2.
- I submitted my work authorization documents indicating I was in the US legally.
- I submitted the filled and signed travel history form and schedule A.
- I submitted the PCC from FBI
- they also wanted proof of my employment back in 2018-2019 from grad school
So letter from supervisor and commitment letters for each semester I worked in school.

They acknowledged submission over a week ago but that’s it. My case is in Ottawa so we’ll see and yh, I’d be happy to connect with you.

Philtos:


Hello,
Truly I got an ADR but no request for re med. Have you gotten a response yet since you submitted you ADR? I also was asked to provide all AD that you were asked to provide. interesting! please can you help me make a list of all you submitted. I am in a similar situation as you. Can we connect

My husband and daughter didn't get any closer date for re medicals. we will have to travel from IN to KY. Any advise please?

Given that health insurance would not cover your medicals, I wouldn’t redo it unless asked.
All my friends here in the US who got PPR didn’t redo medicals (I strongly believe they are extending the medical validity for US-resident applicants). I got an ADR too and there’s no medical request. So I’d hold on unless they say so or you have the money and just want to get ahead of it.

Philtos:
@Allegory
Are you saying medicals has been extended for those who are in the US? Please can you confirm this.

I have received an ADR but I have not been asked to re do my medicals even though it is now expired. what can I do in this case ? Should I re do my medicals? Has anyone had this situation?

Thank you.

Hello guys, earlier this year I moved to a new address, I want to know if this would have an effect on my application as I am about filling my schedule A Form. The old last address is different from the new one. Should I update the new address on my application? Does it affect my application if I fill my current address. Please I need answers asap. Thanks

Between the time I applied in 2020 and when I was asked to fill a schedule A(last month), I’d lived at 4 different addresses, thanks to my job. Just fill everything in. Put it. Change of address has no negative effect on your application as far as I’m concerned.

Hello everyone.

I submitted my application in August 2020.
Did biometrics in Sept 2020.
I had upfront medicals so I was good.
Last month, IRCC mailed me asking for lots of information to make a final decision they said.
- 6 months bank statement and PoF
- Schedule A/Background information form
-Travel history
- New police certificate
In all, they received over 100 pages on documents from me. I may have been extra in my response because I submitted everything they could ask, think, or imagine especially as a temporary resident in the US.
Submitted bunch of proof to show I was still in legal status in the US; W2s (for taxes), employment letters, paystubs, work authorization documents…
Having done that, does anyone know what’s the TL to expect a response?

Case is in Ottawa office.

I’m US - based and my brother used my Statements. I don’t think it’s an issue if your sibling is legally situated and working.
We provided my statements and my paystub for 4 months to show consistent inflow of money. Also provided offer letter… and it worked out well.
You’d be fine.

Good evening house,

Please someone should advise on the way forward as I await my admission for Sept 2022.

Planned to use a USA based sponsor (Sister). Is this a red or green flag?

Also have a Nija sponsor (brother) who is a businessman but the business is not registered.

Graduated in 2018 and worked in a company for a year (With appointment letter, confirmation of employment). Currently a freelancer and have about N4M in savings.

How best could I package my application?

I’m sorry, what
I think it’s a good advice to ask a woman who’s married to declare the truth about her marital status but she’s not mandated by no laws to change her name.
My friend has not changed her name after marriage and no one had issue with it for her application.
Submit evidence of a bonafide marriage: marriage certificates, pictures. Include your husband’s name in your IMM form for family.

Hello Miznate

The answer to your question of the list of documents is everywhere on this thread, check all the approved testimonies and study the documents they submitted...

To your second question, you are a married woman, meaning you do not bear your father's name again, meaning all your documents should have your husband's name on them... Getting an Affidavit of change of name and Newspaper publication are documents you can get in days if you are really serious about it..

Lastly, if you know you declared you are married in your application, then it means you will have to use your hubby's name so it won't backfire on you in the future cos I know you will be using your marriage certificate in the nearest future.. To avoid misinterpretation that could affect you in the future if not now, say the truth and do the necessary things newly married women do to change your name to your hubby's name..

CAUTION: Do not declare you are single in your application, remember your marriage certificate has your marriage date on it and also Canada keeps records, just sounding that in your ears..

You are no more of your father, you are now of your hubby, so do the needful and the right thing...

Peace

I'm hearing different stories that third country Covid test is only for Canadian and PR holder and students will not be allowed in. I'm just fed up of this different news here and there

This is true.
What students would be allowed in for is if they have not been in the banned countries for 14 days.
Citizens and PR don’t have to go isolate somewhere for 14 days, they just have to get a third country test, Nigerians and other banned countries have to go isolate somewhere for 14 days prior to arrival.
I know tensions are high but this has been confirmed prior to my brother’s trip and even before he boarded. As long as you haven’t been in the banned countries 14 days prior to Canada arrival, you will be let in.

Anyone going to Cancun, Mexico?
My brother is going through that route on Sunday too.

hoodboy:


Only God knows the end from the beginning.

I’m currently in Isolation till test result is out. If I had travelled in June or so would have paid about 1000CAD for this.

Thanks for all the concern. I pray the ban is sorted soon so that does affected can come in ASAP

Meanwhile, I’m not understanding this food, but too much hunger

So glad you made it in. Yay

Shokoloko:
Please send me a PM if you are planning to go through Cotonou this month. Departure to Cotonou is next week, hang around for 14 days. Take a Covid test and move.
The COVID deaths and patients in Canada are increasing. Trust their government to add flu deaths to the COVID number. In my opinion, I dont see this ban being lifted in Feb. I hope I am wrong

Thanks

My worry is these countries being banned too.

gustav25:
be positive and realistic, we are at the mercy of this country. If they feel this variant of Covid needs severe measures , nothing we can do to change it sadly. Have a good day smart individual, unlike the frustrated one that will quote me soon

You should learn empathy.
The fact that you are ‘logical’ is not mutually exclusive to empathy which you haven’t shown. Emotions are high, people are devastated.
You’re putting your application in, don’t you think you’d be affected. Picture this, Africans are not that significant number of intl student and as it is, only a fraction of the continent is banned you think schools will modify their instruction mode just to suit the discomfort of less than 10% of their classes.
You must think that we are that indispensable. Even Indians with the high pop of intl enrollment in Canada when they were banned had to find a way, no one moved mountains for them.
Be empathic. You can be logical and realistic yet empathic.
It’s not one or the other. All the best in your application. You would need it

Guys, let’s focus on way forward.
The other guy probably has absolutely nothing to lose hence the pessimism and the trolling.
The best bet is going to a country where Nigerian passport works and staying there 14 days before moving to Canada.
Now it will be verrryyy cost intensive.
I’m almost sure they would not ban a country like Mexico: even though it’s almost 3rd world, it’s still a North American country.
A Canadian visa is valid for entry into Mexico if you’re staying for less than 30 days.
I’m seeing eVisa for Turkey too.
So, let’s get thinking on our feet.
What’s the way forward? He who wants to troll is allowed to.
What’s the way forward?

The knee jerk reaction to the new variant is similar to the same panic with Delta variant that led to India ban. They just punish citizens of these countries even though we all see the virus is everywhere.
I hope they lift the ban and put in place the mandatory quarantine instead. It makes much more sense.

Jay316:
the annoying part for me was I just paid over 22k to rebook my flight yesterday.I am so sad right now.my advise to u all is simple, if u have not booked any flight yet, don't book for now

When is your flight?

Ayok90:


Will airline lift sha.... I doubt it

airline insists they are still traveling. Although we will see if they would be by tomorrow. It’s all so stressful and sad

If your flight is tomorrow, is it still reasonable to travel?

Hi guys.
Congratulations to new PPR getters.

Also I didn’t pay for two way DHL, so what is the way forward?

Thank you

Congratulations to everyone who just got PPR.

Hi guys,

So my friend had issues with her i20, there was a server fluke and the DSO didn’t get an update on her admission status for a long time. When she did it was June ending and the program starts Aug 14. The visa date she got is Aug 10, is it advisable to apply for expedited interview date or should she just go through with it on that date.
Thanks

Your Sister got a wrong form. Tell her that she should get the form for bill payment. All she needs to fill apart from her own details is the account name which is 'SEVISFEE' , amount - $200 and the account no which is stated on your coupon.

Thank you so much.
Really grateful.
