Its PPR guys. Dropped yesterday night by 10pm for my family of 3. I will drop my time line soon.
Thank you nairaland

Wow!!!! Congratulations 🎊💃🎉
Please I sent you an email; i will be grateful if you respond.

Please is anyone experiencing what I have been experiencing since yesterday? The new portal has refused to go beyond Information about education, work and other activities even though I have filled the questionnaire to the point of uploading documents and all answers were saved.

Please is anyone experiencing this? Does anyone know what the matter is?

Hello, please how long did it take for you to undergo the sputum test and the repeat x-ray. How was it? Please I sent an email to you.

Honeeydrop:
IRCC requested for my husbands medicals. However mine was upfront. I did my medicals in April. My chest xray was not clear so had to undergo sputum test and a repeat xray which was passed last week. So my medicals was updated passed July 14th. What worries me also is the fact that our eligibility was initially completed on the tracker. It changed to In progress and has remained same since June 26. Hence my worry about the exchange rate and also my husbands mortgage banks license that we used for POF was revoked after we submitted our application. So all these has tripled my anxiety.

Hello everyone, please someone I know was sent a medical request by IRCC for the next 30 days. However, she just went for her test and IOM suspects tuberculosis although not determined. How does she deal with this? Should she inform IRCC herself? She has been advised to start her test by next week.

Please your suggestions and insights will be very appreciated.

Please defer and request for an updated Letter of Acceptance. Then go ahead and update IRCC with it through webform. It is safer this way.

Eric123455:
Hello Guys, I am writing to discuss about my Study permit visa application which I actually applied for on the 5th of October 2022, and the processing time for study permit Visa application is 3 months. With all due respect i have sent a Webform to the IRCC to inform that it has passed my processing time but I still haven't received a final decision from them. And please I would like to know if my study permit visa can still be approved after my deadline for resumption has passed, thank you

You will get notifications from VFS on every stage until it reaches DHL for delivery. Check the email you wrote as your contact regularly.

deebee13:
Hello everyone,
I recently got my PPR, and DHL delivered my passport to VFS yesterday. I don't know what to expect, will I get a mail or message from VFS?

So sorry about your refusal but please do not let this discourage you.

May I ask if you have more money in your account now? How much did you have as cash flow for your family of 6?

Maybe you should try open study permit for children of 6 years and above and an open work permit for your wife. Give solid and cogent reasons why you need to all go together. Reasons like it will cause a lot of hardship on your spouse and children since you have never lived apart before, your PhD study of 4 to 6 years is too long to stay apart, you desire to bring up your children together to avoid dysfunctional attitudes and juvenile deliquency, for emotional and physical support etc.

All the best!

If this problem is not resolved by the 23rd, please use a webform and explain why you are using a webform insread of your application profile.

LadyNengi:
I can't find my submitted application on my new portal, has any other person experienced this? I was asked to upload an updated pof and I have till 23rd of this month to do that but I can't even see my application....what should I do pls?

A police report is not a compulsory document for a Canadian temporary resident application.
Please go ahead without it if getting it will involve too much stress.

CanadaQueen:
Hi everyone,
Thanks for this platform. Please I want to ask can I skip police clearance? I live in Benin Republic but I will submit application in Nigeria for my study permit. I read somewhere that police clearance is not really necessary. Also, I once saw on IRCC page that Benin Republic police clearance can only be gotten by their citizens. Although, I'm aware that noncitizens can now get it but because of cash constraints I'm thinking I can hide under what I read on IRCC page. But pls has anyone submitted application without police clearance and got their study permit?

Secondly, can I be added to Seneca College WhatsApp group please?
Thanks y'all as I await your kind responses�

This is quite fast compared to what we are seeing now.

A big CONGRATULATIONS �� to you and your hubby.
It is God indeed!

HermajestyQ:
My PPR just dropped.

I have been reading silently here for a while now and promised myself to share my timeline.

First time applicant with my hubby.
Study permit
Application -19 December 2022
Biometrics request at vfs Pretoria- 19 December 2022
Medical request- 9 January 2023
Medical done - 16 January 2023
Medical passed- 19 January 2023
BVL and passport request vfs Pretoria- 19 January 2023

It can only be God!
Good luck to all those still expecting.

You do not need an appointment to submit but make sure you are there before 10am. One minute after 10am disqualifies you.

Please post the letter here so that I can help decipher and answer the previous questions I asked.
1. Where did you enroll your biometrics?
2. Where do you intend to submit your passport?
3. Are you submitting alone?
4. Are you also submitting for a child under 14 years of age?

Jumax28:
Do I need to book appointment to submit passport or go and enquiry about the sms sent with regards the money to be paid? @Lagos vfs

Where did you do your biometric? Where are you you submitting? Are you submitting alone or also submitting for a child under 14 years old?

Answering these queations will help to guide you. You can also screenshot and post the mail sent to you here.

Jumax28:
I got an email asking to pay #9930 to the same sterling account number we all know but different account name as Canada visa fee

Through courier or self submission/collection. You do not need to pay any other fee if biometrics and submission are in the same location. If you are submitting by hand, make sure you are there between 8am and 10am.
Additionally, every child under 14 years of age who did not enroll his/her biometrics must pay transmission fee before his/her passport is submitted.

Jumax28:
Please what is the new way of passport submission and collection. Also are there any fees required to be paid by vfs?

*URGENT* *URGENT* PLEASE

If you did your biometrics in Abuja and you are submitting your passport in Lagos, then you must pay the transmission fee but if both biometrics and submission are in the same location, then you do not need to pay the fee.

Jumax28:
Hi everyone,

Please if you submit your passport to Lagos vfs office. Do one still have to pay 9930# for the vfs fess.

You don't need transit visa. I know a family who just went to Canada last month. That was their route and they did not need transit visa.

Electroweb:
Hello everyone,
I want to know if someone needs a transit visa if flying with Lufthansa from Nigeria and transiting through Germany to Canada.

Thanks

Please house, please those that encountered their application profile not showing on the new platform, was this later resolved? Just received IRCC mails and I cannot see the application.

Send it to me on baphilscomestics@gmail.com and I will help you

Cannymission:
Good morning guys,

How do I reduce my documents from 12MB to 4MB as required on the old portal (GC Key)?

I have already used IlovePDF to compress it from 16MB.

This is even excluding SOP, MBS and Introduction Letter from the office.

Thanks guys

Please can someone help with emails of Kenya, London and Nigerian offices? Thank you.

First apply for GCMS notes and get the real reason(s) why you were denied. Then change whatever it is : personal assets, career progression etc. and then apply again with a detailed letter of explanation.

I will not advise you to use the same exact LOE, you can add some portion so yes you can use it with edits of course. You can do both SOP and LOE if you want. Just make sure you tackle everything they raised with strong evidence.

Chubbyface:
If one was denied visa and wants to reapply, do u need to write a Letter of explanation(LOE) and Statement of Purpose(SOP) or only LOE is fine? And if u need both, should d person use the previous SOP or do some edits? Asking for someone plz

Your criminal record has been checked out especially in other countries and you are not found wanting. It is a good one

Upload your medicals yourself through webform once they tell you everything is okay.

Your PPR is here soon! - Once they update your medicals on your profile platform.

Congratulations are in order!!!���

Rasakiopoewa:
Good am guys.Can someone tell me the meaning of (criminality-passed-bio) Do we have another pattern of criminality that will need to be check apart from (bio) as indicated on the gcms note.
Again, medicals will have to be completed before 25th of this month and I got a slot for the 15th at qlife.The clinic will take 3-10 working days to upload which may slip over 25th. Any implication or consequence with this?
Received my gcms note and this what I found

This is a generic email sent to anyone who contacts them through webform or any other means.

So I will advise you keep writing to them. All the best.

olokings:
Hello Gurus,

So after firing the routine mails and web forms to Nairobi, Lagos, and Abuja offices, I woke up to this mail from IRCC main this morning.

What do you make of this, experienced folks. And do you recommend I keep firing or wait on the presumption that they may have touched my case file?

April 30th applicant. Family x5 application.

Your feedback is most appreciated.

Hello everyone. Someone I know had his children's visit visa application cancelled today while his was not cancelled. It was a group family application. He is confused and so am I? Anyone has a clue? Thank you.

Please educate me on what you mean by outcome.
I think webform can be used for so many reasons -
1. Exchanging a document (if you uploaded a wrong one).
2. Attaching additional documents.
3. Notifying a change in address or other situations.
4. General enquirires etc.

desmond0001:
I believe webform is raised when we have outcome of our application? correct me if I am wrong.

Use GCMSbuddy. Google them. I have used them a few times and they delivered when they said they would. https://www.gcmsbuddy.com/

sodmad:
Hello, please how do I get my GCMS note from Nigeria. Is their any third party that can make the request on my behalf

Pleae use earliest resumption date not program start date..

Funmilayo1994:
Gudevening Nairaland . To request for emergency date , can I use earliest resumption date to get the 60days or must it be program start date ?

Congratulations are in order because this request indicates your PPR is on the way. Upload the Medical report again (as long as you are sure it has not expired) and submit. Your PPR is sure to come in a few days.

Nwachinemelu226:
Good afternoon everyone,

Please I submitted my application April 19 and got biometrics request same day but not medicals. I did upfront medicals on May 9 at IOM and raised a cse to let IRCC know about this. This morning I got a medical request. What could be the issue or what do i do now as I already did an upfront medical which i informed them about.

Please help! thank you.

Raise a webform to Nairobi and attach the mentioned documents. This should help.

desmond0001:
Please I forgot to add my credentials( B.SC, ACA, NYSC) to the application I submitted on the 30th June, 2022. Can I upload using the email stated below:

High Commission, Lagos
lagos.immigration@international.gc.ca

Thank you.

The former i.e. the orientation date

Sorry about my late response

tasho105:
if date of orientation is same as 'earliest admission date' on i20 and 'program start date' is when your classes start.
For EA , which do you u use out of the 2 dates to get the 60 day?

Date of your orientation would suffice. So it should be the first date not the date your classes start.

photoberi:
Hello,

Please Help!

There are two different dates listed on the I-20, one is the start of program date and the other is class start date. The start of program date is 1 week before start of classes.

For Emergency Appointment, which of the dates do I count 60 days from? start of program date or class start date ?

Thank you.

Hello everyone, please a friend's application was refused on this reason • I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

What do you advise she should do.
Is a judicial review in view?
If yes, what is the process like?

Thank you![/quote]
