My apologies, I am just seeing this. Yes she got it after plenty emails. It took like 2 weeks though. Thanks so much for the concern. I do have another issue with where to upload the IMM5709 form to extend study permit. Perhaps you could help me with any information you have. Thanks

hello Guys,

please i would like to know if another medicals is required for study permit extension.

Although the previous medicals is beyond one year.

Thanks for your responses.

Please how do I upload my study permit extension form IMM5709 after completing it. See attached screenshot. I don’t see anywhere on the portal. I just see my initial application and it says “Approved”. Also for extension do I need to submit another bank statement and for what period? Thanks

Hello Aolelere

Immediately after an applicant's passport is stamped with the Visa, IRCC sends the Letter of Introduction to the IRCC portal of the applicant.

So she should check her Portal, it should be there.. It's named Correspondence Letter in your portal, when you open the document you will see it's a Letter of Introduction.

And Yes, sometimes Immigration officers do not ask for it POE. But I will advise you not to take chances cos you may be asked..

Peace

Thanks. I know a lot of people says it should be there but unfortunately this is all she sees and the only correspondence letter is biometric verification letter. Nothing after passport request. Is there any other way to get this?

I dropped it earlier and its always in my bio, find it below:

Peace

Please my sister has her visa in her passport but I read on IRCC portal that you need something called letter of introduction which is approving your study permit. She doesn’t see this on her IRCC messages. The last message is the passport request. We have send webform and emails to Nairobi but no response. My question is can she travel without this letter? Some people say some border officers do not even check this but I don’t really know. Her flight date is fast approaching. Please anyone with this kind of experience can share as this is creating a lot of anxiety. Thanks

Hi

Congratulations on your visa. Please a couple of questions,

What is affidavit of return?

What is the difference between affidavit of sponsor and sponsorship letter?

What is reference letter from Bank? What are they saying in the letter as I have just one bank account with Zenith Bank?

Is upfront medicals necessary?

LONGGGGGG POST ALERT!!!

Guys I really do not know where to start from!
I'm short of words. God's just too good to fail.
I'm still in shock cause I can't really fathom why my application was this quick or why I was just favoured, but I give God all the glory! For he alone is to be praised!

I've been following this thread for about 4yrs now. Just observing with no plans to submit my application. Was just here for the information basically, and to read people's process (which I enjoyed doing) didn't even know I'd eventually apply.

Time came for me to apply, I was scared to the Bone! I was scared to doing it myself! My sponsor (brother) literally begged me to look for an Agent to handle my application, I was skeptical at first, but I succumbed cause I didn't want any issue or stories that touch.

I contacted an agent on this platform, he charged me 150K for admission and 250K for Visa. My sponsor agreed to pay for the first stage (admission). Las las I eventually paid 190K for only admission!!! Only school admission ohhh!!!

Then it was time for Visa Application, and I was told Visa Fee has increased to 300K. And I was like hell No!!! I no go school? Am I daft? No! I can do this shi# myself. 300K no be 300 naira.

That's how it began, took a leap of faith and decided to do and handle my Visa Process myself, and God blessed me with the GOLDEN Mail (PPR)! Guys please do this stuff yourself!
You can do it! Yes YOU! You can!
There's nobody else that cares about your application than you! You don't need any agents NAIRALAND is the real deal! NAIRALAND taught me everything I know and used to get my Approval.

Then a good man, a blessing, friend turned brother, a brother from another mother, Teemenzo (God bless you for me brother, he has always been with me from the beginning of my application) adviced me to send a mail to Abuja which I did, I eventually, reluctantly sent to everybody (London, Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja) yesterday, 26th of January just to disturb then. Lo and behold, today,

My Testimony


Long post alert!

What God cannot do, does not exist!
I’m so elated, my heart is full of joy, I can’t express my emotions, I never knew this day will finally come. God showed up for me after 3 refusals… God’s Mercies, Grace and Favour found me. I am that woman that God showed mercy! I return all glory to God almighty.

My journey started in August 2020, my first application was shabbily packaged as I had little or no idea of the whole process. I got refused in September 2020 over purpose of study and personal assets and financial status.

I went back to the drawing board and sorted some help from friends and applied in December 2021, it came back refused in February for same reasons, I am very certain that the VO didn’t read my LOE, I was really shattered cos I got the refusal on my husband’s birthday in February after I threw a surprise birthday for him.

I applied again in April, this time i ensured all loopholes were tightly sealed. It was 2 months after I submitted that I joined naira land, so I was glad to know that I was not alone in this struggle, and was encouraged each time people testify about PPR, so I was always here to get more information and was hoping for the best, on 31st August I went to take my 2nd dose of vaccine, Gbam! I saw the two love letters, I was excited and scared at the same time, I didn’t open it till I finished at the health center, I got back to the office and opened it, behold! It was another refusal, I couldn’t believe it I was literally without life cos the previous week I knew how much I struggled to get a spot for my medicals cos the previous one already expired so I did it and updated them. It was as if I was dreaming and I didn’t want to wake up to reality, I was shattered as I felt betrayed and abandoned, this time the refusal reason was only on personal assets and financial status. I couldn’t understand why? I requested for GCMS note and when the notes came in November, my pre assessment was all positive, it was 90% certain I was getting the approval but the senior officer said NO, and
was concerned about my family composition, if the fund available will be adequate to take of both studies and my unaccompanying children. They didn’t point out that I had paid school fees and that I also submitted my personal bank statement with about 2M and my mutual fund statements 1.7M, My husband is my sponsor and I submitted his savings account and domiciliary account statements of about 20M, his pay slips, business document and property rentals … I really found that reason absurd. my medicals was updated to pass a day after my refusal. This time, my siblings advised me to give up the dream but I was resilient and I persevered.

After mourning my refusal, I applied again on 16th January 2022, I thank God for naira land so I packaged my application with all the information I got here, this time, my husband transferred more funds to my account and supported it with a gift deed, submitted all his accounts and the funds were about 40M, wrote a convincing LOE and SOP. After 6 weeks of my application i started sending emails and web forms and also applied for my GCMS notes, I later contacted the MP in Halifax and they obliged to assist me get updates on my application. The MP got back to me and it was stated that have reviewed my application and will contact me for medicals.

I gave it my all, in all of this, I recognized that only God can help me this time. So I never failed to connect to NSPPD 7am prayers every weekdays, I keyed in to every word of knowledge from PST about visa approvals, I prayed, fasted, visited orphanage home, gave alms, stayed strong and positive and mercy of God found me and God came through for me.

My GCMS note came back and I realized that my eligibility was already passed, medical passed but expired, I quickly forwarded my updated medical sheet to them and my medical was updated a day after that.
My BVL came on 7th of April and I didn’t get any other mail after that, I became very anxious and confused, This struggle no dey finish�, i was sending 3 emails everyday for 2 weeks, nothing oh, I resumed fasting and prayer, talked to a few people to get some encouragement, then I stopped sending emails, then yesterday I decided to resume the emails and I changed my narration, this time I wasn’t ready to pacify them, then I sent webform this morning and the mail landed by mid day. I guess the webform did the magic! my PPR landed after 32 days!

I’ve come to share my struggle and experience to give glory to God almighty and to encourage each and every PPR hopefuls here. Pls don’t give up and put your trust in God, he never fails!
If God can do it for me after several refusals with all the odds against me, he can do it for everyone expecting PPR in Jesus name.

I must appreciate all the gurus and wonderful people here giving information and sharing experiences on this platform, every Information I got that helped my application, I received most of them from here! thank you all and God almighty bless you.

Hello

Please do you do medicals and submit with your application? If I have a gift deed, do I need to have personal funds in my own bank account for the past 6 months? Asides, SOP what else do you submit under home ties, I have no landed assets?

Thanks

Anna

Thank you very much for your prompt response. So the full story is my dad is retired and it is my sister who is in Canada sponsoring me but in order not to bring her in which may weaken my home ties argument in my application, she wants to send the money to my dad and then he sends it to me and provide a gift letter. I have no other relative in Nigeria asides my parents. We do not want to have to provide my Dad’s ID, employment letter, bank statement, land documents or sources of employment. He is willing to do a transfer after my sister sends it to him and sign a gift letter but not provide the above documents. What do we do in this situation? Thanks

JustMellow:
Hello AOlalere,

Considering the length of your program, there is no need for your dad to transfer the funds to you. It will make a lot of sense if he pays your full tuition directly from his account since he's your sponsor. The LE alone can be transferred to you. Leave the gift deed alone and let your dad support your application with the Letter of Sponsorship. Any lump sum should be addressed adequately.

It will help your application very well if you provided relevant and sufficient documents of your sponsor that justify his employment (sources of funds), economic establishments, etc. There are never too many documents, especially if it is required to explain, prove, or justify your situation.

Ensure you include your payslips, ID card, awards, promotion letter(s), as well as documents that prove your economic establishments (home ties), etc.

Focus more on demonstrating solid socioeconomic home ties than worry about your fresh passport. There have been a lot of applicants that got approved without any travel history or experience. What matters is demonstrating you have a genuine intent to study and will depart upon the authorized stay in Canada. You can also tell the officer about your intra-country tours.

Best of Luck

Hello everyone, please if my dad is my sponsor but is willing to transfer the full tuition and living expense to my account since it is a PGC for one year. Do I still need to provide any documents relating to him? If yes, what documents do I need to show? I will be providing my bank statement showing the funds in my account and a gift letter already. Secondly, if I am granted a study leave by my company, asides the employment letter and study leave approval letter, what else do I need to provide? Thirdly, I heard that travel history is a reason for refusal, I have a new passport with no visa on it as I have not travelled outside Nigeria before. I am concerned that this may crop up, has anyone experienced this issue and was refused visa? Lastly, where can I get a template for study leave letter and gift letter? Thanks in anticipation of your response.
