Thank you for all your messages.

Application submitted (NSE o) - April 14

Upfront medicals was done before application was submitted.

Eligibility review status updated - July 21st

PPR and Correspondence letter - July 26th

Like I mentioned here before, my study visa to Australia was denied twice in 2019. I knew my chances were low because I applied for a certificate program (Post-secondary) despite having a BSC already. After the second refusal, I gave up on traveling.

My sister (sponsor) reached out to me sometime in February and urged me to consider Canada. For some reason, I was of the opinion that masters was the only option. In fact that was the reason I didn't consider Canada in 2019. After some research, I applied for a post graduate certificate in Global Business Management (Centennial College). Got my admission and I applied for student visa in April. The dreadful wait was long despite providing NSE documents. My PPR landed exactly 1:34am. @Teemenzo had stated over the weekend that my
PPR "will come soon like a thief in the night." And sure it did.

I must add that I'm not the most eligible applicant by a long stretch but like I do say, one must make the most out of every circumstance. My profile in it true self wasn't promising but certain things were in place and I leveraged on everything leverageable.

One of my biggest concern was proof of fund. I submitted my mum's account and sister's bussines account. The business account is the primary account. The balance was sufficient but my concern was that funds are never held for long periods (Red flag). She could have 15m today, and in the next couple of days, the balance could be as low as 100k and there was a period the balance was in negative figures -2m. I wrote the sponsorship letters myself, and I buttressed on some point I already stated in my SOP. Such as, Funds are not kept idle in the bank, they're held as inventories. In the sponsorship letter, I also stated my sister has a good standing status with her bank and is eligible to loan and overdraft facility. I mentioned I will be provided a monthly upkeep allowance of 1k cad. In the letter, I emphasized on my genuine access to funds and demonstrated it by having my sister send me 1.5 m to my account as upkeep allowance for the first quarter of my stay in Canada. I stated the date the fund for upkeep and tuition fee was provided to me. I didn't provide my personal account (I no get money . ) I transferred the fund provided to my barter virtual card. The card statement and screenshot of my account was submitted. At that time, the 1.5m was equivalent to about 3,200 USD. I would have preferred having the fund in a dormiciliary account of a recognised bank but time was no longer on my side.

In my SOP, I attached pictures where necessary, especially in regards to establishments. I also made my future prospect seem very promising in Nigeria. I disclosed my failures in business. "Setback" was the word I used and how studying in Canada will provide networking opportunities e.t.c I sha try to package myself wella

All in all, I consider myself fortunate and I am thankful to God. The information provided on this thread has been very useful. Special shout-out to @lekiboboe, @justmellow, @Frankrobbn1 and every other person that has one way or the other provided some sort of helpful contribution to this thread. Gracias to you all.

To those awaiting decision, I am wishing you all the best. And to those that got unfavourable decision, I have been in your shoes. If and when you decide to reapply, this community is going to be here for you. We all have the same goal.

Once again, I say thank you for all your messages.

Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories !

Some employers give study leave of 2 years.

RollyA:
undergrad may not work. it is not logical for any employer to give you study leave for more than 1 year if you ask me

Hi Guys my friend applied for his study visa this year March with upfront medicals, he got a request letter from IRCC to send an updated Letter of Acceptance from his school, he sent it early this morning around 2 am for September intake, he got a correspondence letter from IRCC around 9am for the validity of his biometrics (BVL). Please is everything ok? He's really scared

Congratulations!

Good Morning all, I hope you all are doing well. I have a singular honor to congratulate all those that have gotten their PPR approved. For some couple of days now I have been emotionally down because my agent (Ufitfly) has been the main reason for the delay I’m experiencing in my study permit. Ufitfly has made payment for my visa application fee 2times, I keep receiving chargeback letters from the embassy. I have taken away the work from them. Now the third payment was done on July 13, 2021 by a family relative currently living in Canada payment receipt together with explanation letter has been forwarded to the embassy till today nothing has change in my application even to pass my medical. I deferred my admission from May 03, to September 08, 2021. Now is embassy going to treat my application as July or still January as nothing has been done in my application. Agent(s) no help at all.
Chargeback Timeline:
First payment: January 23, 2021 submitted application, January 28, 2021 Biometrics.
April 21, 2021 I received a chargeback letter from the embassy. On April 28, 2021 second payment was made by Ufitfly my agent. Payment receipt together with explanation letter uploaded to embassy. Got mad on July 7, 2021 as I received a second chargeback letter. Immediately I saw the letter I put a call to Ufitfly that they should STOP with whatever thing they are doing and handover my application details to me as my life is not safe in their hands on july 12, 2021 the returned 99k I paid them as at January I paid them for the visa application and my login details. You see how wicked Nigerian agent(s) are playing with somebody’s future.

It has ended in praise at last. I'm so happy for you.

Updated Letter Of Acceptance? Was there any form of Updates in the Letter Of Acceptance? Or he just resubmitted the first one?

Enjay316:
sorry, I have a question concerning that.plz must u have an account with the Bank?.then 2 what is the link for western union Global pay so that I can download the invoice and go to the bank.my biggest headache at the moment is paying my school fees.the rate am hearing from the street is too high compared to the CBN rate.the difference is almost 2 million naira

Not necessarily you. Whoever fills the form A must be an account holder. They can submit everything on your behalf. What payment option is available for your school? Is it flywire or CIBC?. They all have international bank transfer which enables you to download the invoice to take to the bank.
