Hello everyone,
Is it possible to still receive mails from IRCC even after one’s application has long been canceled?
Is it also possible to not be notified that one’s application has been canceled?

Thank you very much my dear brother. In fact, this is what I have been telling my husband and we had issues because of this medical thing. He insisted that I must wait for the request. The whole issue is tiring because I’m confused.

Thanks for your concern and God bless you.
It will surely end in massive praises.

Akannitommy:
Hi,

Please, don't delay yourself any further. Get your upfront medical done ASAP.

While upfront medical is not a recipe for timely review, my informed opinion and that of several observers of the IRCC system of TRV processing over the past 2 years is that having medical in your file at the time of first review may speed things up if you have met all other pre-eligibility conditions. It may not always be the case but there is certainly a pattern to this claim. Even with upfront medical, I still got a medical request for my study permit application in late 2019 and I had to resend via web form and email several times before it was updated.

Another reason you want to get your medicals done now is that the queue at the two designated clinics is long and will get longer. You can hardly get an appointment 3 months ahead any longer but of course someone with a medical request will get priority. However, the earliest I have seen for such is a few weeks to a month using a special request for appointment route based on the fact you have medical request. Similarly, even when complete medical on request, it still takes time to update and the review process continues. Typically, the review stops until you submit medical and you are not sure when an officer would pick up your file again. So if you can afford the time to do upfront medical, please do it.

Ire oh!! It shall end in praises.

Thanks for the encouragement. You lifted my spirit.
I didn’t go for upfront medicals. My hubby said I should do that upon request; and by the way, I do not have access to my GC account.

Reseptie:
Hello @ babybless44 dont worry your PPR is on the way to you by God's grace. Wanted to ask if you have now gone for your upfront medical and have you tired contacting IRCC via emails and webforms since you applied?

It will end in massive praises.

Cheers!

Lianna2020:
They sent it to even people with PPR.
It’s because of the maintenance on their website .

Oh! And I was getting my hopes up. Is there a possibility that I’m going to hear from IRCC soon? Because this is the 7th month since I filed my application.

Good afternoon friends.

I just got a message from IRCC for the first time since 17th of April, 2021 after receiving my Biometrics Information Letter.
What happens next after this message?
Please guys help me.

Congratulations brother.
I claim this for myself and all others trusting God for a positive and swift outcome.
The distance between o and my spouse is becoming unhealthy.

Obanidavid:
It has ended in praise, God of Winners at work.

I claimed this testimony after Akannitomy and God heard me....

Be it known unto you that I received my own PPR for study permit October 27th, 2020 while my spouse and children got theirs this day October 25th, 2021.

Am just so grateful to God who is too faithful to fail.

Akannitommy:
FINAL PPR ALERT, it has ended in massive praises! Alhamdulilah!!

We received PPR for the remaining members of my family earlier today and also got a travel restriction exemption authorization approval for my 2 year old son. After we waited for two weeks after the first set of PPR for my daughters, we decided to send their passports on Monday to Abuja. We did to avoid the pitfall of missing 30-days deadline for submitting passports. The passports were delivered on Wednesday due to Tuesday holiday. Counterfoil for the girls were updated on the portal Friday and DHL picked up stamped passport same day - tracking shows it is en-route to Lagos. We woke up to receive PPR for my wife and son this morning, as well as a travel authorization for ONLY our son - since he applied for visitor and we also applied for the travel restriction exemption twice. The letter of introduction for the girls dropped too.

We are juggling many things right now and the logistics are crazy. I pray that everyone waiting for their PPR gets it soonest. I understand what you all are going through because I was in the same boat for over 5 months and I not unaware that several more have been waiting longer. Hang in there, be hopeful. Your time will come very soon. It has finally ended in praises. Many thanks to everyone who rendered assistance in one way or another on this platform in this journey. You are all too many to list but you know thy selves and the Almighty God know you even more. Your rewards will be in multi-folds and bountiful. Also, I am grateful for the emotional support everyone provided all through the process.

Again, it has ended in praises!! Alhamdulilah!!

See updated timeline below:

15th May - Application submission with upfront medicals for 3 out of 4 (All 3 had April 2021 passport expiry dates)
19th May - Medicals for Spouse and two kids (student permits) updated to passed
25th May - Wife completed bio-metric while kids didn't due to minor ages
3 months - Nothing; not even ghost update. Focused on passport renewal process and NIN reconciliation wahala.
18th August - Sent Nairobi inquiry email and got normal auto-response immediately
19th August - Nairobi replied my inquiry saying the usual stuff - under active review & unable to say when to finalize
19th August - Applied for GCMS notes for all
26th August - Applied for written travel authorization exemption (WTRE) for all
4th September - Emailed MP office covering my residential area
5th September - Emailed MP office covering my school area
8th September - Senior Advisor (staff) to MP covering my house replied - " I should reach out in 2 weeks if I haven’t received anything......."
9th September - Eligibility review commenced -- no ghost update - just random login and saw it
10th September - Received medical request for 2 year old son (who didn't do upfront medical since it was visitor visa for him).
10th September - 3 emails responses per travel authorization application - one shows son's WTRE is authorized & others tagged "courtesy"
17th September - Completed son's medical exam and uploaded result via webform and emails to Nairobi - no reply.
26th September - Son's medical updated to passed
6th October - Received PPR for daughters' study permit applications.
18th October - Sent daughters' passports to Abuja using DHL return service

18th October - Same day after I had sent 2 passports, the MP's office replied my umpteenth inquiry saying that "regarding the progress of requests, they are all linked and processed together. Verification of eligibility and medical results was accepted. The next step concerns the final decision which must be rendered (we do not have the date). Regarding your second question, I spoke with an IRCC agent who told me that you could send the 4 passports together by putting an explanatory letter explaining that it is easier financially and logistically to do like this and there shouldn't be any problem, but don't hang around in sending passports."

18th October - I replied MP's office that I had sent 2 passports and that I wouldn't want to risk sending all four because am not sure someone won't mix things up just because there was not PPR for 2 of the passports. In my experience, most people who work in customer service etc behave like robots lacking latitude to apply discretion in sensitive or unfamiliar situation. I didn't want anyone to use me as experiment.

22nd October - Daughters' profile showed counterfoil have been issued - visa stamped - expiry date is 4 months earlier than my own expiry date. No problem because that is valid for 2 years essentially.

23rd October - PPR for my wife and son dropped along with travel restriction exemption approval for my son & the girl's letter of intro.

The grace and joy shall go round by the special grace of God Almighty.

I applied April 16th 2021, did biometrics April 20th, 2021.

sam4774:
it seems like more people are joining this thread and little to no one is leaving because IRCC is not prioritising stand alone SOWP at all. will it be possible for us to highlight our application dates? So we can have an understanding as to how far back this backlog is. i am thinking if we all send a webform at the-same time or email to the kenya office or anything else as a group to instead of all individually doing our own things because this is getting ridiculous.

i applied May 4th....

Congratulations brother!

lightswitch007:
Help me thank God oo. My infant's TRV visa just landed, applied August 6 both eligibility and approval arrived today. Na only me remain oo since May. IRCC please ooo.

It is well.
I applied in April 2021 and I have done biometrics on same April. My spouse told me that they did a blind update and that was the last.

Please what’s the meaning of blind update?

hazzaman:
Got same response after applying for exemption. Though mine is a visit visa.

I submitted another application afterwards.

Ok how do I send a dm? Teach me please.

ifeoluwadayofun:
My brother, I have also sent you DM.

Please I need the tips too.

Akannitommy:
Send me DM to share tips on my own experience as nobody really get money.........

Congratulations!
I need timeline o.

Ufedoo:
Guys...it is ppr. God is truly awesome. There is so much joy in our heart. I will be right back with our timeline.

This is to encourage us to trust God always in every situation. We will come out triumphant.

More ppr on the way IJN.

Oh so sorry. It is well.

bdon123:

Its already too late.Biometric done February ,got a decision a week to resumption by September 2021

Brother, don’t give up on your Canadian dreams; except you have future plans to travel to Canada from the UK which is easier.

If you are sure of your POF, I’d suggest you appeal the decision.

Best of luck bro.

bdon123:

Apart from d 4mil in bank account,i had my pension managers give an attestation of my current pension balance which was almost 20m.Also,stated was i am eligible to collect 25% as per Nigerian pension law if unemployed for 4 months.Furthermore,it was clear my monthly income could cater for her n baby n still take care of me as i earn in USD.There wasnt any sensible reason to deny her on financial grounds except maybe travel history or something else.we hav switched to UK as we intended using her study to leave this shithole for gud.

Yes that’s true. I contacted her and she shared her timeline with me but I couldn’t post it here because I really do not know what was contained in her message that attracted the ban.

Akannitommy:
Finally, I am able to post!.

Lianna's posts was taken down and her account(s) banned. I think these have to do with some breach of protocols or something. I received her timeline yesterday to help post on her behalf. I did but my own account too was flagged by the thread BOT - am not sure how this works or what triggered the 24-hours ban for me either.

Anyways, what is important to clarified is that Lianna didn't abscond after getting her PPR. She made efforts to share her story but unfortunately that hasn't been possible.

I won't try to resend either because I don't want to be "banned" again.

Thanks.

Wow! I noticed the same.
Did she take them down herself or someone else did?

registration:
I think she did but for some unknown reasons all her post have been taken down.

@Lianna: Congratulations to you.

Please can you share your timeline?

Thanks brother.

What shall we say unto the Lord! All I have to say is thank you, Jesus!!!!!.

PPR don land!

May 27th Applicant. Sowp and study permits for my children. Did upfront medicals

Everyone keep pushing, don't get tired or depressed. If they won't let you sleep, don't let them sleep!. A day before PPR eligibility had not even started.

I did the Travel Authorization too, it seems it expedited the process.

Thank you Frankrobbn1 of fandrglobal.com. God bless you sir

What’s your timeline?

Akannitommy:
This is similar to my own experience. Two days after an MP staff replied my email and said I should contact them in two weeks if there is no progress, my family applications were updated to eligibility review. A day after, medical request for the only person without upfront medical in the group dropped.

What’s wrong with applications filed in early April?

sam4774:
wow what time in April? mine was May 4 and I am already tired. I hope yours isnt early April because that will be too much to take.

I submitted my application on 16th of April, 2021 and did biometrics on 20th April, 2021.

Have you done your medicals? If yes, did you do upfront medicals or you were requested by IRCC?

sam4774:
wow what time in April? mine was May 4 and I am already tired. I hope yours isnt early April because that will be too much to take.

I didn’t do upfront medicals. I await medical request but I haven’t gotten it.

Lianna2020:
I can imagine
I applied august 4, has medicals been updated ?
Do you send daily webform or emails?

Good morning all.
Please who submitted application in April 2021?
Please what’s the status of your application?
As it is now, I am getting depressed.

Amen! We shall all laugh soon.

SoFaithly:
My person, we re here; I all so so optimistic that the floodgates of approvals will OPEN SOON. The September 20th Federal Elections will work in our favour; either before, or immediately after. Christmas in Canada is a done deal!

Mehn! I tap into your grace o.
Where is @SoFaithly? I’m seriously rooting for you o brother.

Akannitommy:
Qlife replied and scheduled appointment for next week Friday 8am - I confirmed it and now awaiting further instructions.

Congratulations are in order for you. Cheers!

Akannitommy:
Following yesterday's update, we received medical request at 5:00am (Canadian time) this morning for our son who applied for visitor visa, along with the family (SOWP for wife and Study permit for older siblings). Any tips/plugs/slots on how to achieve this quickly? NB: his visa type was due to his age (under 2 years) while the others passed their own medicals same week as the application was submitted back in May.

Did you do upfront medicals or they sent you a medical request?

I submitted my application since 16th April, 2021 and did biometrics 20th April 2021. Since then no medical request o.

Stonehenge83:
It's well. Submitted April 29th, biometrics done and medicals passed May 19th. My wife requested gcms notes from Canada about 2 weeks ago. Make we dey wait o.
