pls can someone be kind enough to respond. Ive sent 3 mails but no response. Pls i would be glad if i get a response. I have paid 16k which is 1year tuition fee for my 2 year Graduate Certificate program.
Pls reply

My brother was my co-sponsor and he didn’t send a dime into my account. All you need to do is tell VO why he is sponsoring, proof of relationship and tell them how close you guys are. I told them brother is someone that values quality and quantitative education. I told them where he brother works and all. Attached his pay slip, an introductory letter from his employer, his work permit to show he is legalized to work in the said country of residence

PLEASE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?

Hi All, good to be here.

Didn’t use that tho. And I got approved in 49 days. All I will say , Visa application is God

Jam2jam:
To whom it may concern,

I have seen posts here from people who don't know how to start writing their SOP or how to go about reapplying.

I, too, was only successful on my second attempt, so I figured I would share my SOP.
Of course, no 2 cases are the same, but it may guide somebody here on how to go about writing theirs.

Note I applied for a graduate certificate after completing a Master's.
Completed Bachelors in 2013, Masters in 2016, then applied for a Graduate certificate to start in 2020.

I will answer any questions directed at me if I can.

See attached the redacted version of my SOP.

Well I am glad you got your ppr and thank you for sharing your SOP.

Thaiy:
My soft landing......Thank you God for journey mercy.


My flight was Ethiopian Airline scheduled for 1:40pm on Friday. It was a 39 hours plus journey.
I and my people had left home as at 9am for checking, as Ethiopian Airline checks in between 8am to 12 noon, mainly to check in on time.

Being a Friday, the airport was already crowded at 10am when we got there, i was asked by the agriculture people if I was carrying food in which I responded in the affirmative, I was asked to open my bag and items, the lady asked me to go.
I quickly made my way through to the profilers, who looked at my passport, arrive Can, enrollment letter, and covid test result. I was not able to print my arriveCan the previous bight as I filled it late, I had to print the copies at 1000 naira each and had to make copies too from the airport.

Documents checked:
1. Arrive can
2. Passport/visa
3. Enrollment letter
4. Covid 19 test result

Afterwards, I weighed my luggage which was cloth luggage (22.75kg), food and other items (25kg+), I was allowed to go on, I was allowed to go on, I wrapped my bags and they were checked in, I got my boarding pass and then joined my family briefly before going onboard.

I was almost passing immigration when those yellow card asked if I had filled, I said yes, but went back and get it fro the woman who gave me my pass, filled it and return to board.

We took off about 2:30pm eventually, and had our first stop over at Addis Ababa for 1hour 50 minutes, we went through immigration so as to change flight, on boarding the new flight, we were airborne at 10:55pm ADD time, for another 8 hours journey and lay over for refuelling for 55 minutes at Dublin, Ireland, we continued onwards after refuelling for Toronto, Canada which took another 7 hours+ and arrived Pearson Airport at 8:10am on Saturday. I scanned my passport, went through security check with Canadian Border Security agents for vaccination status, arriveCan, and passport. I provided my vaccination card and was cleared for immigration checks.

At the immigration, the officer asked how much my tuition was, how much I paid and if I had a scholarship, he asked to see my student portal and timetable. Afterwards he gave my my permit welcomed me to Canada, I showed him my letter of exemption from isolating which he confirmed, gave me directions.

The immigration checks asked for these documents

1. Passport
2. Enrollment letter
3. Tuition receipt

From YYZ (Airport) Toronto, I had a stop over of 12 hours 55 minutes for my connecting flight to St John, Newfoundland.

Had several meal courses from rice to dry bread and butter, to biscults, juice, tea/coffee and other things....I chop am, I paid for it nau(lol).

I found out that my luggage were at dropped at YYZ Toronto, I had to collect them, pick my boarding pass for my connecting flight and had my luggage checked through AirCanada.

I finally got here early this morning, today Sunday....at 1:30am. The temperature was at 0 degree Celsius.

Currently at an Airbnb till I sort out accommodation....

Thaiy is in Canada......to all still expecting, be expectant, be hopeful, do your diligence and trust God. It will end in praise in Jesus Name

please I will be going to MUN, how did you get your exemption letter,to avoid isolation. Since arrival form said we must provide a quarantine plan

Please I am looking for a flatmate( off campus) at MUN St Johns ,

Benquip:
They only fly to Montreal. You can confirm by sending a DM to them on Twitter if they've added other Canada destination to their itineraries

they are still banned from nigeria

Emmasonic4me:
I booked with KLM for December(Lagos to Montreal) on their website and chose the option to pay into their bank account while checking out. A mail was sent containing the bank account details and my booking reference. I called the phone number in the mail to get their USD/NGN conversion rate for the day and made the transfer. They confirmed the payment almost immediately and I now have my ticket. Please ensure you put only your booking code as reference while transferring the money.

You may want to do the same or go to their office if you prefer in-person service.

Thank you so much!!!

Things i did differently SPIRITUALLY. I used his words. His word is yes and amen. I am a Christian and I declared it that i will get it

I am a believer and i used his words. I still remember this morning by 5 am i had a dream that I wasn’t approved . I quoted scriptures and countered it.

Teeprecious:
Hello guys, thank God for me. I got my PPR this afternoon,apparently it's been sitting in my mail since 3.30pm but I had a busy day at work. After work,I went for a program in my church. It was when we closed I checked my phone and realised I had a message in my Gmail.
Lo and behold...there sat my approval since 3.30pm this afternoon.
This was a reapplication and in my previous application, the VO showed concerns about my funds stating he perceived it was for demonstration purpose only(I saw this in my GCMS notes.
Timeline below:
Application submission: 14th sept
BVL and PPR: 27th Oct.
I saw only one ghost update and eligibility never started till after PPR sef.

Since the concern was mainly on finance,all I did was pay a year tuition as against the initial tuition deposit I paid. I perceived that if I claimed I was self sponsored and the money accessible to me,why pay the minimum which was the tuition deposit?
I only submitted MBS for my pof,snip shot of my student account showing one year tuition,upfront medical,IELTS,LOE and new LOA.

Special thanks to all the gurus and everyone taking their time to answer the numerous questions here. For everyone expecting,God will make it speedy and easy for you.

my theory is right, submitting MBS makes the application faster

Kemisolarachy:
It's PPR guys

did you submit MBS ? Notice people who submitted mbs or GIC get response faster

Must it be a Canadian Lawyer
