###### LONG POST ALERT ######


It’s Testimony Time

Guys, I wish to share my success story in order to encourage others who have been delayed. First of all, I thank Mr. Frankrobbn1, Mr. JustMellow, Mr. Lekiboboe, and other contributors for their selfless services here. I also appreciate some people who have been trying to answer questions in the absence of the gurus, but most times your answers are wrong and misleading.

Secondly, I like to thank Mr. Frankrobbn1 again because he made efforts to ensure I get approved this time, after 2 previous attempts. He is truly a guru. From the choice of course, to choosing the University, including review of LOE & IMM forms, with covering all possible refusal technicalities in my LOE. I appreciate your help, Mr. Frankrobbn1, Almighty Allah will bless you.


1st Application - Online (Did it myself)

- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting.
- School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta
- Sponsorship: Self
- Application submitted – October 9, 2019
- Application refused – November 6, 2019
- Refusal reasons: Family ties and Employment situation


2nd Application - Online (Done by a Canadian Immigration Lawyer)

- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting.
- School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta
- Sponsorship: Self
- Application submitted – November 29, 2019
- Application refused – January 28, 2020
- Refusal reasons: Family ties and Purpose of visit
- GCMS Notes: No evidence on file of PA’s acceptance to Master of Accounting as stated (VO made a mistake here and we pointed it out in the new LOE), and the Applicant’s plans of study appear vague and poorly documented.


3rd (Approved) Application - Online (With all NSE documents)

- Course changed to: Master of Management – International Accounting & Finance
- School changed to: University of Windsor, Ontario
- Sponsorship: Self
- Intake: September 2021, but was changed to May 2021 while my application was in progress
- Application submitted – February 10, 2021
- Submission confirmation – February 10, 2021
- Upfront medical approved – February 16, 2021
- Eligibility review started – February 17, 2021
- Ghost update 1 – February 24, 2021
- Ghost update 2 – February 26, 2021
- Ghost update 3 – March 3, 2021 (GCMS shows that LOA was confirmed this date)
- New LOA for May 2021 – March 19, 2021, sent via IRCC & Kenya Webforms March 20
- Follow-up emails – Started March 22, 2021, twice a week to Kenya, later to London, and Beijing.
- Email acknowledgement – Received once only from Kenya on March 22 with application still in process. I realized there are 2 types of acknowledgements: (1) Active review: if you receive this, then your application is not almost finalized yet, (2) In process: this means your application is in advanced stage.
- Ordered GCMS notes (through a colleague in Canada, I think it’s faster this way) – March 31, 2021
- PPR & BVL Received – April 12, 2021
- Passport received by VFS Abuja – April 15, 2021
- Passport stamped and Counterfoil received – April 15, 2021
- UPS picked up passport – April 15, 2021
- LOI received – April 16, 2021
- UPS delivered passport – April 19, 2021
- GCMS received – April 19, 2021
- Application Visa Office: Nairobi Primary & Windsor Secondary, but application was finalized by Lagos. PPR & LOI came from Lagos.


Lessons learnt:
(1) Career progression is very important,
(2) Significance of fund and its accessibility cannot be over emphasized,
(3) Home ties carry heavy weight, especially family/economic/volunteering, etc
(4) Travel history is an added advantage for matured students like me (40+), Lagos VO acknowledged this in the GCMS notes.


Documents Submitted

(1) Client Information (with a table of content)
- Letter of Explanations (7 pages)
- Education certificates & transcripts
- CV
- Employment documents (past & present), including awards & pay stubs for present job
- Statements for liquidated Investments to back up 2 huge lump sums (this is very important)
- My wife’s letter of introduction & support, Marriage certificate, kids’ birth certificates, wife & kids’ NIN documents, wife & kids’ passports & visas, Family & wedding pictures
- Investment document in my wife’s name to show money will be available for the welfare of my family when I am away
- CAC documents for my businesses
- Professional certificates, including copies of Financial Statements I have signed before
- Documents to support volunteering activities, both religion & sports

- Travel history documents, old passports with visa & stamps
- NSE documents


(2) Proof of Fund (with a table of content)
- $4 CAD tuition fee deposit

- 1 year regular Bank statement with fund more than my entire tuition fee + LE + Miscellaneous
- Pension RSA Statement with reasonable balance
- Investment letter in my wife’s name
- Documents for Residential Properties with Valuation reports and proof of rental Income

(3) All the 3 IRCC Forms (Well reviewed by Mr. Frank)


Parting notes
(1) Prospective applicants must be patient
(2) Do not disturb IRCC office if your application has not exceeded processing time or your resumption date is not approaching or your tuition payment deadline is not due soon
(3) It seems Airlines from India & Pakistan aren’t allowed to enter Canada now, so IRCC may shift attention to the Applications from Nigeria, please get set for your good news
(4) Endeavour to go the way of NSE
(5) I feel sad when I read negative comments about Nigeria here, please let’s stop it. It will come to haunt you or other Nigerians. Every country has her challenges, please let’s speak well of our country

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE AWAITING GOOD NEWS

Bro please help me with the link, IOM site dey stress me.

Thanks.

lentomac:
Yes ,IOMHAC has a branch at GRA Ikeja, Lagos

Ahh no slots available. Please is IOM in lag?

Thank you sir.

JustMellow:
Hello Afeezzezo,

It still remains NSE. IRCC has always encouraged applicant that got a request to provide some documents, but due to some unprecedented reason could not or will not be able to respond to the request should advise the officer in a written letter. However, it becomes the sole discretion of the officer to respond positively or otherwise.

This applicable to your situation. Include a letter.

Best of Luck

Thanks sir

Frankrobbn1:
Advising the immigration authorities in writing that you can't sit for the IELTS test completely makes you ineligible for the NSE program. It means that you're opting out from the program and as such would go through the regular channel.


It will end in praise

Nah.

Will do medical next week.

Heroulo:
Hello, please did you do upfront medical? If yes, has it been updated to pass

Thanks sir, i ll attach a letter. Hope my application will still go through NSE?

Frankrobbn1:
Sit for the IELTS if you can since you've my bank statement certificate intact. Otherwise, advise in writing why you can't provide the IELTS whenever its been requested by the immigration.


It will end in praise
