Long post alert…
It’s finally PPR!! 🍁
After six whole years (God is faithful🙏🏽)
Visited Canada in 2017 for a student conference and it was “love at first sight”.😍 Then, I joined the pool shortly after completing one year work experience in 2019. Maxed ielts but CRS draws skyrocketed to 470 the same month I entered confidently with 456.😩😅 Profile and ielts expired. Got tired of waiting on Canada, went off to the UK for my MSc in 2022, and stayed back after graduation.

Brother got PPR and moved to Canada. Then, I decided to try again after hearing about the healthcare stream. Recalculated my score with extra 15 sibling points and didn’t think I had the chance cos draws were above 500 at the time. Everyone encouraged me to write ielts, so I dragged my feet to the exam centre and got L9R9W7S8. Entered the pool with 477 in May 2025 wishing I took the ielts seriously and had maxed out on writing.
Timeline:
Got ITA July 22 (Healthcare draw 475)
AOR Sept 10 (late submission due to POF wahala)
Med passed and BIL request: Sept 19
BIL complete on tracker: Sept 24
Eligibility complete: Oct 3
FD on gckey: Oct 28
Background complete and COPR no.: Oct. 29
Passport submission letter on gckey: Oct 29!!!
Thank God for keeping things running smoothly.
To everyone else waiting, “Don’t lose hope, He will do it!!”

I will prefer using a table of contents in fixing the above financial expenses into proper documentation. It makes the work neat and very easy for the reader to comprehend. On the other hand, you can as well list out the financial provisions that you have attached with your application. For instance:

My personal savings bank statement at MICRO FINANCE BANK of Nigeria with closing balance of ₦289,635.20 which is equivalent to CAD$ 1,032.68. Etc.... Go on and on to list out all the financial support you have.

The entire cost of my studies at the Queen's University Ontario, Canada:

Tuition - 15000CAD
Room and Board-10000CAD
(Others)-2000CAD
miscellaneous - 3,000CAD

Total funds available for my stay: ?CAD

I hope you understand? Feel free to ask questions anytime.

Bro, pls can I share my gcms note with you

I was a student of one of the Nigerian universities doing a diploma program. Almost two years into the program, the NUC scrapped diploma programs for universities. I was broken! So I decided to study abroad.

I applied for a visa to study in the US five times within a period of one year!
I couldn't get past the interviews cos I couldn't explain myself to the VO (kind of an introvert).
So I decided to try Canada once and if I didn't get the visa, I would give up any hope left of studying abroad. Fortunately my first application has just been approved.

I have never crossed Nigerian borders. That is, I have no travel history.

Observation:
I'm not a guru, but from my observation spending a lot of time on the US student visa thread and this Canada student visa thread;
The VOs know there is a 70% chance of we not returning to Nigeria after graduation, but they can't deny all applications based on this fact. So they want someone who shows potential of adding something positive to Canada, incase the person doesn't return to his/her country.
They key is just "self-hype". In my SOP, the way I hyped myself, you'ld think I thought Zuckerberg how to code.
(Hype yourself with sense sha)

Note: The above doesn't mean you should neglect saying you will come back to Nigeria. In my SOP, I stated some career opportunities for computer science graduates in Nigeria.

I fasted and prayed too. God did his part and I did mine. Thanks to God.

Special thanks to Frankreubben.
This guy went out of his way to teach me things I didn't know about the visa process. I too go ask am question!.. lol.... Thanks a lot brother.
Thanks to everyone who shared their profile and contributed in one way or the other to this thread.

To the hopefuls, "It shall end in praise!"

Congratulations boss... Pls can you share me your SOP

You mustn't have someone in Canada before you can be eligible to request for your CAIPS file. Unfortunately, it is a mandatory rule by the moderator of this thread that no individual is permitted to share third party gcms websites. Hence, you can do yourself a great favour by checking out the reviews of other gcms websites outside this thread to order for your gcms note.

It will end in praises in your next application.

Hello House... Happy new month to you all.

Pls I want to ask question on Gcms note.

Must I reside in Canada or have relatives in Canada before I can be eligible to request for my Gcms note.
Thanks..

College course

Hello gurus in the house, pls I want to confirm, if there's a stipulated IELTS point require to process Australia student Visa. Thanks in advance

Pls, gurus in the house, good day to you all... Pls I need a little clarification.

**How long does it take for passport to be dispatched from the embassy after the final decision had been made**

I submitted a paper application, and later linked it with online account. On the 10th of May I:e last month, I received a notification that the application was refused through the online account and up till now the passport hasn't been dispatched from the embassy and when ever I tracked it, it always shows the submission date which the application was submitted. The application is going to four months now. This is my third application, in which have been answered all the questions thrown on to me.

Pls,Wish school is that, I want to know,. Thanks

jnyuwa02:
Na wa for you ooh, so many misdirections. He may not have been given a five year ban, he should order his GCMS notes. That is the way he can find out whether he got the ban or not. He may simply have been denied on a different reason. Simply because a person got an administrative letter don’t mean when they are denied, they get the ban. Many are accused and when they respond, are denied on other grounds and do not get the 3 or 5 year ban. How did you reach this 5 year ban you said he got?

Thanks boss. I don't know how the guy just reasons that way.
Pls I want clarification on this, because am seeing this for the first time. It's possible to inform me that my

16th of May, I got an update that,
i)your background check is completed
Ii) you do not meet the eligibility requirements
III)your application is refused

17th of May, I got another update that
I) we regret to inform you that you did not meet the eligibility requirements
ii) we regret to inform you that your application was refused

I don't understand what they mean with the two updates and I don't know if anyone have witness this before.

Frankrobbn1:
Aallizzwellwole,

I'm afraid you've been given a 5 years ban. Kindly explore to countries like Malaysia, Philippines, Germany, Ireland, Cyprus etc.... and start processing your visa.

All the best!

@Frankrobbn1,
At least I can read and I can see very well. If I was banned, it will clearly stated and they won't tell me to reapply if I can demonstrate that I meet the eligibility requirements.

tylerwill:
What was the generic reasons for refusal. If it has to do with your personal account it will be indicated

I sent all those documents to their mail at accra.immigrationinternational.gc.ca@gmail.com, and I received the confirmation message that the mail was delivered.

Hello good morning everyone, please I need your response to this. 2weeks ago,I got a notification from the embassy that my personal account was faulty, that there's some elements of fraud on it, that I should respond to this within the next seven days or else I will face 5years ban. Then I responded, by sending reference letter from the bank, another statement of account and I told them to contact the bank and also carried out all necessary investigation on the account. Three days ago, I received a mail that, your application has been updated, which is checked, it was stated, that my application was is refused and a day after I received another notification that there's new update on my application which stated that " We regret to inform you that your application was refused ". Pls I don't understand them again

Hello Gurus in the house.. I really commend yours effort, the shared experience and advice given to me, which has been the driving factor that kept me going.

Please I've come again to seck your advice, I received a message from the embassy yesterday that

"In the current application package, you submitted a bank statement purportedly issued by FirstBank that has been determined to be fraudulent"

It's my personal bank statement Of account not that of sponsorship bank statement and I was given seven days altematum to respond to this information and my application will be judged base on the respond I provide to them ... Please I want you guys to put me through .
