Kienitobo:
Please how do I send a webform to IRCC?

6 and 4months

segzyndpep:
Thank you s much. Please your POF was how many months?

Good morning my nairaland family.
This will be a bit lengthy bear with me.
May my testimony help some troubled souls to relax.

I got Conestoga admission June 2022 and paid my 1500cad to secure my admission. I got this without knowing anything about study visa requirements (I thought if I walked into the embassy with my admission letter, I'll be given a visa immediately hahahahahaha).
Then I checked for the requirements online and my jaw dropped, I thought it was impossible but my cousin told me babe don't give up. Just one step at a time.
July 2022 I completed my first semester tuition almost 9k.( I did this to motivate me, because I don't want to give up)
Then the search for POF sponsor began.
...got in september cousin's friend whom I've never met or seen.

Why I said my application was imperfect.

1*) Sponsor didn't agree to give me copy of his int'l pssprt, just ordinary personal work ID.
*Refused to give his picture(to proof relationship)
*Sponsor didn't want to disclose his balance, so the POF was almost 2months prior submission. (I don't have an option)

2*) I said I didn't have a family to avoid the vo thinking I won't come back.
(This one gave me sleepless night) I regretted saying No. I thought I'll be given 5years ban for not accepting I have a family there.

Then I stumbled into nairaland. May God bless the brain behind this forum. I visited regularly to read testimonies and finally joined in December 2022.
Some people's testimony here gave me hope while some people's documents were intimidating lol.
Being in this group was a huge blessing to me. Here I learned about sending webform, deferral, mp's, emails and gcms notes. And this helped me greatly.

My documents:
SOA mine and sponsor's.
My bank reference
Acceptance Letter
First semester tuition receipt (forgot to add this, but sent it through webform last week together with my updated LOA)
Employment letters and references
Transcript and results
Int'l passport and passport photograph
SOP
Form 5257, Form 1294 and Form 5645
Survey&Evaluation.

Applied: 11 October 2022
Biometrics: 14th October
Correspondences and PPR: 30 January 2023

May we all get our PPR and may the Land of Canada favor us all in Jesus name Amen.
Thank you Jesus.

No I didn't. They said I should resubmit" all the documents, so I submitted the old one.
Chai! My imperfect application!
I'll tell my story later.

segzyndpep:
Congratulations.
Did you reprint the bank statement for POF again when you resubmit?

It's not too late, merge them according to how you did while submitting before and compress accordingly. Attach the files and submit all through webform.
This was exactly what I did last week and got my ppr today.
Your PPR is coming soon.

Anxiousman101:
Hi there!
Pls I got same email on 23th January 2023 ,Was asked to resubmit all my documents and data, all my info including name, address etc.

Thank you 😊

It's PPR!!!
God did it 🙌.
First time application, DIY.
My imperfect application Choi!! (I was planning to do better when I reapply, I was kinda trying to prepare myself mentally for rejection. Acknowledging my application was imperfect, it wasn't easy though).

Just, God did it!

Applied: 11 Oct 2022
Biometrics done: 14 Oct 2022

24 January 2023 I submitted and did everything they requested.

Correspondence and PPR landed this evening 30 January 2023!

Thank you Johnstan and some other people that encouraged me when the delay was affecting my mental health.
Thank you to everyone that contributes here.
It ended in praise, thank you Jesus.

May God grant everyone PPR in Jesus name Amen.

It means you should send your new letter of acceptance to them through webform.
They requested for this because your school has resumed, according to the date on the acceptance letter you submitted.
I hope you've already deffered your admission? If you haven't, do it asap and send the new LOA your school will send to you to Ircc via webform.
You'll get your PPR, Congratulations in advance.

Please house, what does it mean when IRCC requests for an “updated Letter of Acceptance for the next available semester from the intended Designated Learning Institution or proof of current enrollment. If deferred, provide evidence including new start and end date.” ?

Please, has anyone received this before? And what was the outcome?

Thanks in anticipation.

Amen oo

chithec:
For everyone waiting
Our PPR will come this week
IJN Amen

No I haven't. But mine includes sop, home-ties and certificate

Moyosore019:
Hello @Army2022, have you been able to send your files? If yes, how did you do it? Also what did you include in the client information pdf?

Thanks a lot Mrprolifik

mrprolifik:
Try to convert the original files to pdf . After converting then you compress each files separately . After compressing you can calculate the size of each files and if the total doesn't exceed the allowed limit, you can then merge your files.

Thank you Chithec

chithec:
The best pdf compressor out there is "combine pdf"
Your document will still be clear after compressing
For anyone that needs this information try -combine pdf

Thanks a lot Mrprolifik, Quinstershaw and Pace6.
Note*i compressed each of these files to 4mb each before submitting them in October . They were so small and barely readable

POF, Fam info,
Digital photo, Int'l passport,LOA, Client info and Imm5257
I'm wondering how to compress already compressed 7 files. That is 4mb×7 compressed into 3.5mb each of the files are barely readable.

Army2022:
Good morning NL family, I'm asking this question for the fourth time please I am pleading with all the experienced persons here to help with an answer.
**IRCC requested I resubmit my application with all my documents through webform. ** As it's not possible to merge all these documents to 3.5mb
(POF, Fam info, Digital photo, Int'l passport,LOA, Client info and Imm5257)

Is it advisable for me to submit the files one after the other...that is 7 webforms?
I'll really appreciate everyone's contribution.
May God grant all of us ppr in Jesus name Amen.

Preshyrn:
our situation is similar. I did my biometrics october 12, 2022 and biometrics passed the same day. Did upfront medicals in October too. yet nothing has been updated on my page at all apart from biometrics.

Send your medical sheet through webform and it will be updated.
I did mine in October too, it wasn't updated until I sent a webform in November and it updated same day.

Preshyrn:
please I got an email from IOM that my medicals have been sent IRCC since the 22nd of October last year and nothing about my medicals has reflected on the ircc website.. Any idea what could be wrong?

Nothing is wrong, just send your medical sheet to Ircc through webform. It will be updated

KingCassy:
I’ve booked with iom Abj … but I noticed something here… almost everybody I’m seeing here doing upfront medical… did the Medicaid months before going for biometrics.. I saw someone that did his medical here in April and went for biometrics on July… but mine.. I want to do my upfront medicals a day after my biometrics… is this really possible pls… cause I don’t want to make mistakes..

You're not making a mistake. I did my medical 2weeks after my biometrics. it was also updated to "passed" same day I sent my medical sheet through webform.
So you have nothing to worry about.

Positiveme2020:
Here is the story, I had two declines when I applied for visit visas November 2021 and Feb 2022. Then I decided to go through study. The timeline is:

27th April 2022 upfront medical Abuja ( I had additional medical request on July when my sputum test can out successfully)

3rd Nov,2021 Biometric at Abuja

3rd or 4th May, 2022 submitted First study permit.
Long wait no medical update .

4th August 2022, I received a declined letter.

Reason : Insufficient fund

I quickly rearrange my sop and transferred all my fund at stannic mutual to GTB and I paid my fully school fees tuition.

9th August 2022, sent in new application
Another long wait. So I had to defered my study to September 2023.

23rd December ,2022 , medical update to passed

15th January 2023 , final decision PPR.

This is just brief , I really had sleepless night during that medical because I was told my x-ray results has problem( according to them my lungs are not clear)
But to God be the glory everything went fine.

So determined A big congratulations to you.

Good morning house!

It's PPR for me!
July 2022 applicant
Centennial college, Toronto.

Submitted- July 18, 2022
Biometrics- July 28, 2022
Upfront medicals-April 2022
Medicals passed-November 21, 2022
PPR- January 13, 2023

Turns out my PPR was out as at the time I made the statement in quote, but I didn't get to know because I used an agent!

I also don't know when, or if eligibility started or passed. The agent is not the communicating type.

I gave them a whole lot of documents, I don't know exactly which was used, or not.

Bottom line is, IT ENDED IN PRAISE!!!

Thank you to everyone on this page who kept reassuring those waiting, it meant a lot coming on here to celebrate with others and get hopeful for my expectations!

For those still waiting, hold on, be strong, cos what God cannot do does not exist!!!

Congratulations

Chechem:
Goodmorning House,
Does it matter if it takes long before I do biometrics?
In my quest to travel once to Abuja from East to do both biometrics and medical, I am now in a dilemma.

I once applied for upfront medicals, got a date and paid but later pleaded with them to hold on for me so that I can get a date for biometrics and travel once, they agreed and asked me to inform them immediately I get a date for biometrics. I applied on the 12th and got a date for biometrics on 20th of January, I have been calling them since then, but it seem they nolonger want to grant me the request... I have tried to apply for the medicals online and the available date I am seeing is 1st of February. The gap is much, I cant stay in Abuja that long because of work and expenses.

The only option left for me is to reschedule the biometrics close to 1st of February, hence I am asking if it matters if I do biometrics like 3 week after applying for the study permit.

Please help with an urgent response.

Yes it matters, medicals can wait but biometrics shouldn't wait. Ircc will start processing your application as soon as your biometrics is completed. The earlier the better.
But still continue to call for your medicals, and also send them emails at least twice a day until they respond. You can still walk-in and plead and explain your situation with them. There's no harm in trying, but first do your biometrics as soon as possible, do not shift your biometrics date.
My opinion shaar.

Victoryokondu:
Hello guys, I need suggestions on sponsoring my sister to come to canada via study. I’m in canada myself so I will be sending the whole amount to her and I’m thinking of doing a gc investment account for her. How do I explain this that it would fly? I don’t want to stand as her sponsor. Will a deed of gift fly? She is coming in for a one year program so I want to give her the whole amount for the one year plus living expenses. She is coming in for a graduate certificate in business analysis or accounting. I want to know if it will be possible to do that or should I just send the money to her in Nigeria and it sits in her account for a while?

If you pay her complete one-year school fees and also pay in gic, that will be excellent.
She'll be a self sponsor.
You can do a gift deed just for her flight tickets.
Congratulations to your sister in advance.

matthew080:
Hello help or advise please

My school resume on Monday,no ppr yet,
I have request for deferer of admin,but no reply yet from the school .
Any cause for alarm

Same with me, I'm awaiting a new LOA. If I get my ppr before the end of next week, I'll plead with the admin to let me continue with this winter.
I don't think there's cause for alarm.

chithec:
Hi Army
How did you pay your tuition deposit?
Did you use form A?

No I didn't use form A. Bank told me it will take over a month to process form A, so someone in Canada help me with the payment same day.

Today makes it 12weeks since my biometrics was completed.
I've always looked forward to today for my ppr.
May God bless all of us who're waiting for our PPR's, may we receive our Ircc new year love letter as soon as possible in Jesus name I pray Amen.
Happy new year my nairaland special family

Rough estimate:
Number of years tuition you're going for +10k cad ( you can add a little for flight, if you want)

tenderjunkie:
Please I need assistance.

I'm about paying a deposit of 1500cad for Conestoga college.

But I need to know how much I need to have in my account as POF.

After paying the deposit, I'm going to be left with ₦10.5m + foreign stocks worth 3k usd.

Conestoga fees per annum is roughly 18,000cad and I'm expected to pay a full semester fee of about 8k before resumption. Add that to the living expenses (not sure of the exact amount but I'm thinking 10k).

My question is how much minimum would suffice for POF?

Check Ethiopian airline February 2nd to be precised , I'm not sure of the exact amount but I know It's not more than 670k.

OtunbaBlack:
Good afternoon, please what’s the cheapest airline one can get? My mum is going to Calgary late January. Airline seems expensive. What Airline gives the cheapest or which one should we look to buy. Thanks
