Wow!!! Ego indeed. Killing indeed. I don't exchange words here nwanne. I try to learn and teach where I can. if you had read my post, you will note I tried to make those who have applied before not to rush to apply with it thereby making their old application likely to be withdrawn, and time waited so far wasted, But that if you have not applied before, you can use it.

But is good. i move

“I try to learn...” - I wish you did try. I read your post clearly and grasped every details and you didn’t want accredit the whole process, Knowing that you are influential on this thread ( which can possibly hinder others from using it). Hey see how makano gave his remark and learn from him. Take care!!

Ketima:
Lol, is funny you're thinking like this. Just be calming down my brother/sister. Nobody knows it all ok. For your mind, you know the process well pass me? . Chai this life no balance ooo. we no the compete here nwanne, just be helping to teach the newbies ok.

I think your ego is what is killing you. I never saw it as a competition but you did. Maybe because you are quite Knowledgeable in this field. Nwannam!!! I am
Not here to question you at all. You tried to make it seem the route isn’t great for study permit. Nnam acharom nsogbu. I will never take your place in this forum

I wish I still have the pop message that was on the IRCC website when it first started. But what I know is that they wrote about test running it

Ketima:
Hello Makano,

Nice observation. I only noticed that many seems are eager to try it knowing fully well that that have applied before and will want to try it, after he/she said in 2months, decision can be made. From my own observation, the path was brought up to facilitate family reunification as they termed it so that applications decisions can be made faster. I only observed it was for visit visa, used for people who applied before September 7 mostly SOWP and others who initially applied and would like to join their spouses and family fast fast.

I also noticed that it is super fast for visit visa and any application be it SOWP which was submitted with visiting visa. But when you apply separately for SOWP and others, it may not be that fast. Also noted that, even if you have applied before, you cant link it as it will be a new application and old application fee will be forfeited.

Now back to old days IRCC promises. Sometime ago, IRCC came with a promise that if Nigerians can follow NSE route, application will be decided in 20 days. Now what's the fate of that? Again, sometimes early this year, they came up with another promise that if we can submit complete application before May 15, decision will be made by August 6th to be able to resume class for Sept fall. Now we all know the outcome.

So my brothers and sisters, if you have applied before and because of desperation and anxiousness to receive decision, you want to apply through this one. know it that once you do, your old application will likely be withdrawn and no certainty that you will receive fast decision with it. That A did it and got fast decision doest mean if B should do it, he will receive the same fast decision. Don't throw away the time you have waited so far cos of this.

If you haven't applied before, you can use it. You're safe.

Also note that this path have already had many applications and if fast at the moment, may begin to slag as they will likely be paying attention to only visit Visa applicants. I even noted that wen applying for visiting visa through that link, you will state when you want to visit and when you will come back. You think they don't know why the specified it for visiting visa only. They are looking for who will come and boast their economy and not gain from it as you know that visitors spends and don't get from the nation.

This is just my humble observation and may be totally wrong oo. So please just relax ok.

lol you observed but you never used it. Well I used it for study visa. I should tell you more because i went through it.

For the employment history, you will have to upload only the period where you worked outside your academic years. If you worked during the period you were a student, do
Not indicate. All these are all explained in the portal.. Just English comprehension hard ghan !!!!!. I spoke about how to tackle the 2mb space. The section for consent form, make use of it. Trust me it is way easier and self explanatory. Just that English too much

makano:
Hello Concate

Where are the 2 students? call them out to come tell the house how they did theirs.. You are the only one talking about it and it seems many here do not really understand all what you have been saying..

Its either you call the students here to come drop the guidelines through which they successfully did theirs or

You give a comprehensive guideline here which applicants here can easily understand and do it themselves.. Let applicants here benefit from this new way..

You can also drop a link on the IRCC website where IRCC stated that application on Study permit can also be done on this portal..

Peace

from my timeline I spoke about using it . It is way easier. @gift212 she used it too. We have provided all the information we know concerning how we did ours. It is still
New and we won’t have answers to all of it. Do your research

Gift212:
Can I just add that some sections may vary, depending on what you answer in the questionnaire/application. For example, my section 3 (automatically generated) is for a copy of my US visa, Section 4- National ID card. Section 5- Funds (proof). Then optional documents (Any additional documents ; my SOP,birth certificate, resume etc goes here), then final section is consent form (optional/if it applies).

thank you so much

Audrey1111:
Aijay please can someone who applied using gckey use this new method

they spoke about linking your old account there. Actually I think you should research more

Iffylove:
Please is this a new visa application platform that newly applicants can make use of?

yes . I was a first time applicant as well

Onaya:
How were you able to get the mandatory Invite Code to create your login account?

please check my previous message. I spoke about it

Kidsister13:
Thanks for your response.
Please how do I go about it. Help please

google webform canada. Then you will follow the instructions given. Webform basically means sending a request. Also when you do the webform thing also send them a mail

The cons of this route is that, for every section you are allowed to upload just a MAX of 2mb file size. There are 5 sections.
Section 1 : International passport
Section 2: Admission Letter
Section 3: Supporting Documents; in this section I uploaded my Sop and any documents backing my claims in the SOP
Section 4: PROOF OF FUNDS ; now this is where i had issues due to the file size. I had to tell them since section 5 is consent form and it will be an empty space i will upload a continuation of my proof of funds there. So I divided anything that has to do with money or assets into two. Upload all BS documents and supporting documents such as relationships btwn the sponsor and I in section 4 and any thing that had to do with landed properties/assets and all in section 5.

My advice: due to the file limit here, try and get your documents electronically. Avoid having most documents like BS in the paper format and then scanning it. If you do so, the file size will be big, if compressed it will likely not be readable.


The pro of this method is that in all section every document needed is explained explicitly. Let me use the section of proof of funds for instance, you will be told all the updated documents that is acceptable by the VO and also it is stated that every letter of sponsorship should indicate the exact amount the sponsor is willing to give. This will help the VO analyze the proof of funds in respect to the amount stated by the sponsor.

For me this method taught me how proof of funds can be tackled

Please was I suppose to upload anything after my biometrics. I did my biometrics 2nd of this month and this is what is showing on my page.

Is this normal or am I getting paranoid? Please what should I do about it.

send webform and complain

Aijay26:
please use this route , I have said i before, I used it and i saves you the stress of filling all those forms. Very easy method and yes i got approved before 50 days . Goodluck

they said they were test running it and i knew anything new with embassy there is always preferential treatment given to applicants. Also GCKEY never worked on my gadgets either.

Concate:
I'm not sure the NSE route still works. There is a new directive for visitor and students to apply on the new IRCC Portal account. This account is different from the GCKey account. Below is the correct link

https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en

Application on this new portal guarantees a decision within 14 - 30 business days. I've seen people get visit visa in 16 business days and study visa in 30 business days. No IELTS, no upfront medical and no mybankcertificate is required to apply.

You can try this.

Please I need help regarding medicals for Nigerian Student Express. I was told I have to do the upfront medicals before i can apply but I have not been able to get a slot for medicals(both Lagos and Abuja). There are no available slots through to march 16th 2022. Same with Qlife as well.

I got admission to Conestoga College for May 2022 intake. Can someone kindly explain how I can go about starting my Visa application.

this is the portal I used. And it took less than 60 days.

SandraOvie:
It sure works oh! I'm not saying it doesn't, but I noticed allot of applicants, I mean, 90, if not 95% out of 100% applications are through the NSE route.

Makes me feel like IRCC no longer honours the regular route as such, because even the NSE route which is suppose to take only 20 days, takes a whole lot of time, some taking up to 5 months now! Leaves me wonder, if NSE can be taking this long, the normal regular route needs divine intervention. oh!

Okay. The people that get visas within 50-60 days didn’t submit NSE requirements. I am a testimony

SandraOvie:
Wait oh! Ndi nairalanders,
Na only NSE application all of una dey do now?
Where are all the REGULAR applicants?

Gather here let's encourage each other
and book our PPR testimony space

Me: August 9th applicant
Biometric: August 13

No medical request yet, still hopeful!

How about you?

NSE route doesn’t work

nairagrounds:
Did you mean you sent your passport on the 28th?

And by saying the courier just took it, did you mean that the courier has gotten the stamped passport from the VAC?

Thanks, and I look forward to your response.

yes! I meant all of you said

nairagrounds:
Who sent their passport to Lagos VAC for stamping recently, and what was their experience. Thank you.

submitted oct 28th. I am yet to get it. Although the courier just took my envelope

Jay316:
when is ur program supposed to start?is it next year falls?

January 2022. Winter . All I can say in this my process. Everything is different. From admission process down to visa, God has been so faithful!!

nairagrounds:
Wow! What is the length of your program? My thinking and coupled with what Aijay said, is that TRV extends to the expiry of your passport or the validity of your program, whichever is shorter.

2 years program. Masters

Jay316:
I just dey hear yellow card up and down.abeg what is a yellow card?

something that will
Be given to you by your airline to fill

Jay316:
send through Lagos since u r not in a hurry and u only pay ur courier charges.just submit those biometric slip u were given during ur biimetrics. the length if ur temporal residence Visa depends on the length of ur course. if it's a two year course, then it will be more than two years.mine has started counting already as it started d day I got ppr and will elapse in March 30 2024

biko mine is march 30 2025. Biko is it 2 years masters program ?

Please do you need the yellow card to travel ? Is it necessary?

Aijay26:
PLEASE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?

Visa application, tracking ID No. The envelope for the decision on the results of your visa that has been processed has been received at the Canadian Visa Application Center at Abuja OC, on the date. We will then send this to the Canadian Visa Application Center Abuja OC. Please note that this is an automated email. Please DO NOT reply to this email.
