Hi, so for my case I applied March 24, with biometrics from previous application and upfront medical, got AiP Aug 6, then got deferral letter from my college for Jan 2021 intake August too. You advice I send it to IRCC Kenya office immediately? If yes how?
Also could this be the reason I'm yet to get a BVL?

Please raise a webform and provide the updated LOA to the Nairobi immigration office.

Hello. I’m in Abuja. I have sent an email to vfs to enquire. They said it will take 2 days or less to get a reply. People in the house have said it’s via courier, if that’s the case I’ll use DHL

Please what email address did you use?
Thanks

Application from Nigeria.

No AIP. No address of the office where the BVL and PPR came from.

Sponsor: Parent

Profile: First time applicant, Last degree completed 1.5 years ago, 25, been doing only voluntary work since last degree

Course: Msc - thesis based with funding. The program has a minimum funding amount that every student gets once admitted.

Tuition: I did not pay any tuition or deposit.

Course is a bit related to my undergraduate degree but the relationship won’t be very clear to someone not in the field, so I took my time to show the relationship in my SOP. I stated the relationship between my previous study and the course, and also some voluntary work/courses I did relating to the course. I also stated some courses from my undergrad degree that are related to the course I applied for. I stated that those related courses from my undergrad have laid a foundation that would make me successful in the course I’m going for in Canada.

Documents submitted
The 3 forms as seen on my checklist on my GC account after answering the questionnaire. I did not print out any form to sign by hand. I gave a signature(by writing my full name as in my passport) on the portal there before submitting my application that covered for everything. I put dates in the required spaces though.

Upfront medical slip uploaded to the upfront medical session (gotten from the clinic after I completed my exam)
NB: if you want to attach an upfront medical exam slip before submitting your application and you can’t find the “upfront medical exam” section to upload your medical slip, it means you did not answer the questionnaire properly. Please go back and make sure you choose “YES” when asked if you’ve had any medical exam with a panel physician in the last 12 months.

Oga frank kindly help me check the gcms notes I posted

Congratulations to those who got their PPR.
And to those waiting and those that will re-apply, may ours end in praises too.

Chocs:
Hello @lekkiboe

The summary of this is that, if 150 days has passed since the student’s intended start date of the program, the VO should ask the student to show an updated letter of acceptance to be sure the student still has an admission for a new start date before they continue processing the visa.

If it is less than 150 days since the start time for the course, they can continue processing without asking for a letter.

Based on this, it does not matter when you defer. They just want to see you still have an admission before issuing you a study permit.

Best wishes

Thanks Hon. Chocs ...appreciate....

Can I conclude that this scenerio does not av anything to do with the Applicant who got AIP and hasn't gotten BVL yet or could it be that cos his skool (DL) is yet to be in the Covid-19 readiness Plans ?

Hello chocs. Yes I have done my biometrics before (I have previously traveled to Canada) hence I didn’t get a biometric request, my application just says we are currently reviewing your eligibility and also background check processing.

The visa officer is reviewing whether you meet the requirements for a study permit to Canada which include your choice of program and proof of funds. Whilst, the CBSA are verifying if you have any criminal records in any country. Apparently, your application is still in process, further correspondence will be communicated to you soon. Keep faith alive.

The University of Manitoba processing times for undergraduate admission takes about 4 weeks. Whilst for post graduate programs are processed within 3-4 months depending on the choice of your program. You can email the graduate admissions to inquire why your application has taken longer than expected.


It will end in praise.

Thanks, yeah. I emailed them. I was told decisions will be made in April next year.

Noted . Thanks so much.

JustMellow:


Hello Oreoluwamipo,

You may want to look at other course like Leadership in Management courses at Royal Roads University. Political Science in Almost all Canadian Universities are very competitive with very limited seats for International Studies of less that 16.

Also, the department mostly appreciates and place priority for those with the course background. If you're bent to secure an admission in Pol. sci., you may also want to check University of Victoria which is strictly thesis/research-based program with full funding provided by supervisors.

All the best

Hi
Please if an applicant has an AIP and he did paper application should he expect a BVL. Or he will just expect his passport stamped with the BVL. His school is an approved DLI.
Thanks

Honorable Nairaluck posted this Snapshot on the 1st of SEPTEMBER

I think this should address the Situation but I don't know if there is any new development to this effect.

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten PPR.

My application since Aug 19th has remained in eligibility and background check is under review.

We keep hoping for the best as I hope to share my testimony soon

Dbankx1:


Hello, sorry for the disturbance, but it isint too clear, should I upload my mother’s details like birth certificate and passport or my fathers birth certificate in the client information ? Or where can I upload such documents Or should I upload them in the financial sector as they are both my sponsors??

If I were you, I will include my parent's birth certificates in the client information section and upload financial documents such as account statements, affidavits, CAC docs, sponsor's payslips, gift deeds etc. in the proof of funds section. I will also mention in my SOP all this information and where they can be located in my application. This is why I advice to include a table of content page as the first page in any merged pdf, this page will contain the description of the documents merged in the file and the page numbers.

Goodluck!

From this, schools like Fanshawe whose plan is yet to be approved; our applications are on hold and wont advance to ppr stage. OUCH!

Hi everyone

Is it possible for paper applicants to receive PPR after AIP and medical request passed since passport submitted already??

Hello family, my PPR just landed too. All glory be to God and thanks to this e-family.

To God be the glory!



I take this opportunity to appreciate all gurus and everyone on here who keep giving their time and effort to assist in answering questions, even when many will come here to insult and accuse them falsely without any proof.


Special shout out to Frankrobbin and Qudkom for their unexplainable and unlimited assistance to make this application a success. They motivated my spirit when am about to quit and gave answers that quenched my doubts.  I am impressed by their extensive knowledge and ability to share relevant information in an understandable manner. At last, the GOLDEN MAIL (PPR!) dropped in my mailbox today.

4. Copies of travel stamps, visas to show travel history.

I used my house and other properties I have in my name and wife as home tie too. I did an asset affidavit and Asset valuation.

2. Personal account

3. Reference letter from my bank for all the accounts.

It was a long wait as Covid 19 set in. I had to request for my GCMs note on 3rd August 2020. It was delivered on 18th August 2020. 

From the note, I noticed my application was approved on 26th April 2020 but IRCC couldn’t give approval due to Covid 19.


For everyone still waiting, I believe the miraculous gift to all answered prayers is knocking already.

For those who have been rejected, please keep the hope, keep asking questions and continue to do the right thing.


As Frankrobbin will always say, It will end in praise !


Thanks.
