If you two are real partners and you guys have humility, there is nothing to worry about. Situations can change anytime. When I and my wife were dating, I was earning like 5 times her own earnings and there was no problem about it. When we got married, after 3 months her new job she was processing clicked. The new job is in the US and she traveled in the month of October 2023. When I saw the first payslip that she sent to me, her salary was 8 times my salary. And mind you, I earn in dollars too in Naija. And we are still fine, I play my part and she plays her part. Nothing like pride and allowing the money to get into her head.

Good afternoon friends

Please have anyone here done "keep my passport" at TLS?

My passport is currently with UKVI since Sep 2 (for a visit visa) but I need it urgently for another VISA application to attend a programme in India.

How can I temporarily have my passport while UKVI is processing?

I will appreciate your suggestions or any experience

Thank you.

Hi! How were you able to go around this ? Did it work out ? I will appreciate your response urgently because I am in the same situation .

I moved from lagos in August 2019 to Kaduna and spent over 3 years In kaduna. I moved back to lagos November 2022. The 4 years plus I spent in Kaduna was just too sweet. I was able to save more money , cheap houses that are very clean , sane environment , clubbing etc.
Mind you, I left for kaduna in the middle of high Kidnapping and insecurity . My company was along the express way “Olam” where the kidnapping was taking place, but I decided to relocate to kaduna despite the fact that I was aware.
Within 3 years , I got my PGD and masters in Kaduna and was able to save money. Something that I couldn’t do while in lagos because of stress and the confused life ( 2016 to 2019).
In 2022, immediately after my masters, I got a bigger job in lagos and had to leave kaduna to lagos . I still had to retain my apartment in kaduna. I still visit kaduna all the time because of the ambience and I am yet to relocate my loads back to lagos . I will be in Kaduna next week just to cool my head.
Kaduna is sweet and you will not regret it except for those who fastlane life like me and would want the lagos life .

Aw.. please tackle the concerns on the notes and fire back on.

Hi guys ! I was rejected by IRCC today and my school is Conestoga college with a whooping fee of 19k dollars for just one year program and I had to defer to September because of delay from IRCC which made me not to meet up with May 9 resumption.
Just this evening , on getting home from work, I received offer letter from Memorial University of Newfoundland for Masters in Occupational Safety and Health . I checked their minimum expense fee and the one year program tuition is just 10k Cad with C plan of paying 5k tuition fee for first semester and balance of 5k second semester. And no tuition deposit is required . I have accepted the offer . Resumption date is 6th of September and also Conestoga college is 6th of September too.
I checked Mpower and MUN is not eligible for Mpower loan.
Now I am confused. I don’t know what to do as I don’t have any source of fund anymore. Should withdraw from Conestoga college and ask for refund , so I can start with MUN. MUN is professional Master while Conestoga is postgraduate diploma and they are both in safety in line with my HND, and my work experience.
I need your advice

IRCC just served me cold breakfast now ..,
I was denied based on your personal assets and financial status.
Applied since January 4th
Ordered for my GCMS note since on the 5th of May , so it should arrive this week

As an agent it has always been my job to tell my clients to be patient and relax, but when it came to my turn, it was hard for me to follow my own advice Knowing how unpredictable the Canadian process works.

So I put all my trust in God because nobody can guarantee Canada study permit except God! I drew strength from Psalm 33, each time I get worried I will pray and reassure myself of God’s promises to me with that particular bible verse.

Along the line, I discovered this thread on nairaland and started coming here to draw strength from people’s PPR testimonies. I am happy to share my testimony today. Lol I was at the Gym when the email came � people were looking at me crazy � I ran home immediately to share the news with my family.

I know how you feel reading this right now, you will pray a silent prayer and then go and check your portal. Don’t worry God will come through for yo, with God you can never lose

With God you can never lose! when God shows up He shows off. My God never fails, Odogwu!!

Azedolf:
Yes I have most of this personal asset like car, land and house but I don't include it in my application cuz I don't have a physical business, I deal with crypto trading spot but doing the time I applied market was down so I go for agent to provide me financial sponsor to support the fund I have available

So now I don't know how to treat that maybe I sponsor myself, look for money to put in my acct as I have a good turnover and include my personal asset, please any advice on this

Men! You should have submitted those personal asset of yours during the waiting immediately your eligibility commenced. Like I said earlier on, we must not leave things to chances. Me I had to go and get and get whatsapp screenshots of me n my third party sponsor dating back to 2020, 2021, and my 2022 where he even sent me his new apartment that he newly built in PH. Initially I submitted my only my land allocation and offer letter from estate company , but last 3 days I had to include purchasing receipt, application receipts, general C of O given to me by the estate company and survey plan, and I had to include my dad’s land property and one bedroom apartment on that land with a gift deed showing that he gave it to me and i sent the land documents and c of O through webform. We must continue to seal up everywhere the lacuna make likely come up. It is painful to wait for like 5 months and then one is denied because of small things like asset, and others.
When I applied initially, my sponsor didn’t send any money into my account, but after waiting for like 5 months and my eligibility commenced, I had to send an updated bank statement and proof fund and this time I made sure my sponsor paid 2.4 million naira into my account and he sent me the payment slip which I included in the webform.
It is well sir . Just reapply again addressing the issue these concerns

tudun:
Hello,please how did you submit additional documents after submitting please


You n I are in the same shoe. Applied January 4th. Eligibility started May 4 , ordered for 3rd GCMS note May 5th, and then yesterday I sent them my updated bank statement and POF and then today I sent them my personal property documents, gift deed of land n property and the documents from my dad and attached photos of me n my Dad and also of my mum then my dad’s age declaration and my own via webform n via email. I no wan hear story, I wan try seal up the ones I no put initially.
Tomorrow I will send them by school transcripts, secondary school transcript , my expired IELTS general training Cert of 2018, English language proficiency letter from my school and additional professional certification, I didn’t put all these things before , I only uploaded my school certificate. And my previous two GCMS notes didn’t say anything apart from background info sharing complete. So waiting up till now is God, and my 3rd GCMS note will come next 2 weeks, and with eligibility already started after 5 months then it means any moment decision can come out , so since I never see GCMS note then make I Kuku de send them Wetin I get

Through webform and email . All to Nairobi because my first and second GCMS shows nairobi as my primary processing center and London as the secondary.

dbeautyful:
I don't think it's a good idea. I feel adding more documents will only add to the processing time, unless the documents are absolutely necessary.
Just my thoughts... Will appreciate other inputs on this.
It will end in praise regardless.

Initially I submitted few documents and it took them 5 months for eligibility to commence . So it is better I send everything I learnt here on nairaland and hold on.

Lezy:
I wanted to send my updated bank statement and someone said here that is not good that IRCC will see it as Lum sum?

Did you get the information from experienced person that you can resend your bank statement?

If you have backup explanation for the lump sum then no problem . For me my sponsor had 22k US dollars and gave me his bank statement which I used in January. From January to now is a long a period or time, so I asked him to send me 2.4 million into my account yesterday , and he also reprinted his bank statement showing 20k US dollars, I also went to my PFA to get a new letter which showed an improved pension fund from 2.3M in January when I submitted it the first time to 2.8M yesterday and that I can access 25 percent of it. Also the money I had in my two accounts have been there since January to now and I have also done transactions in my account since January to now. Also it was after I submitted my application that I paid my tuition balance of 7900 Cad from the same account. And then got a new leave letter from my company showing new dates because I had to defer from APril to September since my visa no come out since

Up to till moment, no update about my application. I put through mails and webform, all I heard was application still in process.
Notified that file was in Nairobi, Kenya.

Wow! We both submitted on the same day … My eligibility started May 4th and I am still hopeful.

Congrats man… after 7 months… men! E no easy

Is this the new portal?
Eligibility after 5 months?This is absurd

Yes oh! The new portal

Perfectyyyyyy:
@ JustMellow,

I have my application submitted since 15th January and till date eligibility have not even started. I order for a GCMS note and it arrived today and was also blank. But mail sent to MP, webform raised and mails sent were acknowledged in the note, nothing was done thereafter. It is about 4months now and it is clear that my file has not been opened.


What should I do at this point to get them work on my file? Should I sent them updated bank statement i.e 8months since I submitted 4months in January?

Don’t worry , your eligibility will start on the 15th of this month exactly 5 months . I applied on the 4th of January and my Eligibility started on the 4th of of May after I sent them my new letter of acceptance after deferring to September via webform and email.

I applied since January 4th and my school is billed to resume May 9 which is next week. I had to defer and my school sent me a new offer letter with September resumption date. I forwarded the letter to IRCC Nairobi via email and webform on Tuesday. And yesterday , I said let me log into my application page , lo and behold my eligibility review just commenced after waiting for 5 months and ordering two GCMS notes with nothing tangible on it. Now I want to order for another GCMS note this morning .

These IRCC guys are just making us to waste our money when it comes to GCMS notes. They no longer update notes when you still have active application in place. I have ordered for two notes since I applied in January 4th, 2022 . One came in March 4th and nothing was inside apart from medical and biometric passed and info sharing complete. No eligibility yet.
Ordered for another one on March 18 and it just arrived yesterday evening and same thing as the first one. Now making me to defer my admission to September 2022 as my school is billed to resume on the 9th of May

Good morning to all the gurus in the house. This is July 2021 applicant. My Gcms just came out, I no even understand. Pls, what do you think?

This is the response from my MP . Please what do you advise i do @ketima @Mikano and everyone. November 20th Applicant

3 months! Chai November application! This people wuked oh … that’s 8 months in July

Mirakylie:
Please Gurus this is what my GCnotes says... please help me to interpret it

Taking the applicants plan of studies into account, the documentation provided in support of the applicant financial situation does not demonstrate that funds would be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be reasonable expense.

The source of funds is poorly documented and there is no evidence provided showing how financial sponsor/PA came to accumulate savings. Taking the applicants purpose of visit into account, the applicants does not appear to be sufficiently well established that the proposed visit would be a reasonable expense. The applicant has not satisfied me that they have sufficient economic stability, which may affect their departure from CDA, I am not satisfied that the PA has sufficient funds to support themselves (tuition, living expenses, transportation etc) given the proposed length of stay without working in CDA.

Based on the documents provided by the PA/Sponsor, I am not satisfied that the PA will have a sufficient inflow of funds for studies or a reasonable source of income to support the proof of funds that was provided

I am not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary resident, I note that:

The client is single, mobile is not well established and has no dependents

Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay

For this reasons above, I have refused this application

Na wa ! The VO de vex … Chai

Taiyejenny:
How do I beg Trade monitoring system to debit me � because I’m tired of waiting,my school gave me another two weeks again, pls how long does it normally takes ? I used access bank

Take the saved pdf page of TRMS form and your documents and proceed straight to your bank. The bank you filled as authorized dealer bank and follow up with them . TRMS has nothing to do with you. Theirs is to ensure that all applications for Forex are real and not banks buying dollars and reselling them to black market guys

Activateoluwase:
So annoying, since last week Monday they have not debited my account and yesterday was the deadline to balance up my first semester tuition fees to conestoga college. I Already sent a mail to them anyways

What’s the status of your TRMS form? Is it showing “ with ADB reviewer or ADB Supervisor? And which bank did you use as your Authorized dealer bank? If it is showing ADB reviewer or supervisor , then hurry up to the bank with your TRMS pdf saved page, certificate, Int’l passport, letter of acceptance showing your details and then payment instruction from CIBC , Flywire or other paying channel and meet your customer care department or forex department. They will follow up with your AF number and give you tentative date when your account will be debited. If you use GTB, it will almost one month, if you use first Bank , it will take more than one month. So always use banks with less traffic like FCMB, Sterling bank, arewa bank, keystone etc and banks that are known for good international payment like UBA. I applied since on the 13th of January and just got debited on the 9th of February when it was my deadline for payment of tuition balance. I didn’t know that I have to go to my ADB to be disturbing them after applying on TRMS website thinking that it will be automatic, it was later on I searched online and I saw from websites that you have to keep disturbing your ADB with your AF numbers , so I started that just two weeks ago and my bank replied me with a tentative date when the money will taken from my account and the time too. So it happened on the exact date and time . So I am waiting for the school and the CIBC to send me notifications that they have seen my payment and I will forward it to IRCC as part of tuition fee balance payment as instructed on letter of acceptance by my school. I am due to resume school by May 9 and applied for visa since January 4th. Still on background check is processing we will notify you if we need more information from you. I ordered for my GCMS note last week. I did medical upfront and it was updated to pass on January 17 and background check commenced on 21st

Landing Gist

Ive come to give back to the thread that gave so much to me.

I pray that God answers the prayers of all PPR hopefuls and fulfill your heart desires.

Long post brace yourself!

Departure: January 26
Airline:KLM

Flight was scheduled for 10:45pm but I got to the airport by 6pm and I'm glad i did, Father Lord it's like a massive crusade was going on at the airport.

I had about 8 eight people with me, man never traveled before in the end only my mum and dad could get in and that's because I know someone.

So I was directed to the customs guys first, the people there were already tired, they just asked me if it's my first time travelling and purpose of travel, they opened my bag and just scanned through and said I should 'bless' the guys I dropped '5H' and move.

Next the person i knew led me to a shorter queue and made me understand that the line is for business class, I had economy. She told me not to talk about my ticket and went to work. Almost after she left someone started checking people's tickets and sent like 3 people away from the queue (at this point I was just calculating ehn) finally he came to me and said "what's your class of ticket" and I said "good evening" he asked the question again and for whatever reason I confidently said "KLM" then he asked that I show him my ticket i bought out my phone and took my time trying to locate my ticket then he left.

Immediately he left, the person that brought me to the queue came back and i told her so she went and talked to the guy. The next challenge was my baggage i wanted just 1 bag as i don't like carrying load and made the mistake of not weighing it at home (please try to do this it will save you stress) it was weighed as 44kg instead of 23kg so i had to split into 2 at the airport.

I was cleared and my documents were checked and was given my boarding pass then i went to say my final goodbyes to others that couldn't come in then proceeded to board. My backpack was checked then I boarded.

We landed at Amsterdam at 5:55am, and had to wait for 5 hours for the connecting flights. My documents were checked again and I boarded.

We arrived Toronto at 3:45pm local time, went to the self declaration machine and answered some questions the receipt was printed I went to join another queue, the lady there asked for my course duration and if i know someone in Toronto and then made some markings on the receipt then told me to join another line.

I waited for my turn and the man on the counter asked for my documents, he asked why I arrived late (resumption was January 10) and I told him that there's an option to attend classes online and I've been having online classes. He asked for my course duration and said he will give me 3months extra and that im welcome to apply for an extension if need be and then he issued my study permit.

Next i went to get my luggages it was so easy and went for the covid test make sure you register online.
I was done in 15mins and left. All along I was thinking "the cold sef no reach I'm gonna bouce it off" but my people immediately I came out of the airport
My spirit and soul literally left me and ran back into the airport ooo but came back sha and we moved.

Advice: if you are coming in winter get plenty winter wears o, the clothes for Nigeria's weather are useless.

Documents:
POE Letter
Acceptance letter
Confirmation of Enrollment
ArriveCan receipt
Quarantine plan
Travel Authorization letter
Passport ofcourse
COVID card
PCR test result
Tuition fees receipt

I also printed my Statement of account just in case but I didn't use it at all.

Once again thank you to the gurus and everyone on this thread. I wish us all great successes in all our endeavors. Amen.

What was your reply when they asked you if knew somebody in Toronto?
