Congratulations Ronke

This Study Visa application just tells us that everything is based on the blessings and approval of God Almighty.
We have seen over qualified application and they got refused and also seen qualified application and got approved. The success of our application is based on what God has predestined for us all. There's is always a reason for everything in life if God can show us what will happen to us on the nearest future we won't try to question him on some setbacks that will propel us to be more successful.

I applied November 19 2020 and completed my biometrics 25 of the same month. Hoping to get Approval in Principle but got nothing and paid first semester fees and started class online January 6 2021 and blessing of refusal came in April 16th 2021 few days to the end of Ramadan. Reapplied May 6 by submitting updated files and addressing all the points raised in the GMCS note and the vague response from IRCC. Finished second semester August 14 and yet to get a decision on my study visa application.

God Bless is All as we receive our blessings of PPR and Congratulations to us all.

May God grant us our heart desires..

lobinche101:

how? pls try and mail them

I have mailed them about it and even raised webform. I also sent my first semester result.

Teenie19:
Makes sense not to pay at the moment. It’s also good the school has a fill a return to study form. I suggest you wait and see what happens by ending of this month to make your final decision. I really hope you get your PPR asap! Stay encouraged!

Thank you Teenie19

Time2soar1:


They don't usually update medical to pass in reapplication until you send web form to them most time or you do another one when it expires

Same here I'm yet to get a response on my medical and biometrics

Time2soar1:


When did you do your medical? is your medical close to expire?

I did my medical last year November 5 and it's going to expire November also

Hi everyone, if there’s any group for Durham college students resuming this fall, I’d love to join or anyone that wants to connect should please send a WhatsApp message
09021130823

I am a current student online but yet to be approved of study visa

agunjnr:
Good Evening, please I’m applying to Durham College too but the plan is to process Student VISA from Cameroon as it is easier. I need your help in filling the applications, what does it mean to send WAEC result with scratch card?

Please help me. It’s really urgent.

Send the results and scratch card to them to confirm

Teenie19:
Also, any update on your application? When did you submit again? When will you be staring the second year?

No update on my application, I submitted my application May 6 2021 I am to commence semester 3 year 2 this fall but as I am yet to get a decision I don't wanna pay school fees again and get a negative response so I considered deferment or withdrawal as the school said then I will come back and fill a return to study form.

Teenie19:
Ok that's good that they know. So you have deferred your second year? In my opinion, you should send them your updated LOA reflecting when you are starting your second year.

I am yet to defer the second year because I was told I would have to reapply for study permit

Teenie19:
Hi Benquip,

Is IRCC aware you completed two semesters already? How many years is the program? You should keep them posted about your plans.

Yes I did inform them in the new application when I was refused for the first application. I have sent my first semester results via webform and still no response

My program is 2 years. I just completed the 50% of the program last week

Elfavour:

I was thinking it was because it's my second application, hence, why they didn't bother notifying me my medicals have been passed since it's the same medical exam. I was notified in a couple of days for my previous application.

I am also facing the same issues my second application isn't saying anything like medical passed and biometrics updated. I applied since May 6th

Teenie19:
Yes what you you said is correct. Maybe I didn’t word my reply properly. What I meant to say is that if her application is still pending, then she can still provide new LOA, however once it is approved then it is too late for any changes to LOA. ( change to school can only be done in Canada) Sorry for any confusion!

Please my own question is if someone had completed 2 semesters online and is yet to get a study permit. I now wanna defer till next intake will I need to send them an update on the application as I would have collected a new LOA.

Please help with this

fabihill:
Good morning every body, please I seek an urgent advice.
I applied for study permit since may 6th.
And no decision yet.
My school just sent me a mail to register for classes or I will be automatically withdrawn from the program.
Please gurus, do you suggest I defer, my current job in Nigeria will not permit me to attend classes virtually, it will be too stressful for me.
Please your kindly advise on what to do.

I suggest you defer and tell them you're yet to get a response from Ircc

MY LANDING GIST!!!!

KLM Flight at MMIA, Ikeja. Lagos to Amsterdam (almost 6hrs layover at Amsterdam Airport), Amsterdam to Toronto.

Got to the Airport 4pm, August 11th

Brought three bags (22kg Clothes, 20kg Food), Laptop bag with my laptop, clear bag having my docs. & some other Contents (chips) inside of it.

Interestingly, the first search port , they checked my first bag which was having my clothes in it, as I was trying to bring my second bag (which contained Food stuffs) , they said I shouldn't bother, was quite surprised. Because i know i might not be able to go out during quarantine, I packed a substantial amount of food stuffs and ready to eat foods such as Peanuts, Chips etc. The second bag i used to pack my foodstuffs was a Traveling bag, am assuming they thought it was Clothes that was also inside that bag. In a nutshell I wasn't directed to Nigerian Quarantine Agriculture service, I went straight to KLM post to check-in.


Documents Asked;
- International Passport
- LOA
- Tuition Payment. Receipt from the School
- Negative COVID-19 Test
- Enrollment Letter was asked but i had only "Travel Authorization Letter (Travel Support Letter)", Enrolment letter wasn't available, my DLI would not give me cos my Program is an in-person and they told me i need to be in Canada in physical, get the STUDY PERMIT before I can be allowed to register. The KLM staff was a bit skeptical about me not having ENROLLMENT LETTER, but only TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER, I had to show her the e-mail from the school to prove that what I was saying was legit, she called her OGA, the oga sha scanned thru the TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER and the mail, he was pointing out a portion of that letter to her & told her "I was good to go".

She directed me to another port to check in my luggage, and i met another lady, she asked for my passport, gave me YELLOW card that I should fill it and also write the name of my destination, DLI, Naija Phone number on it, then she gave me my boarding pass (Lagos to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Toronto)

From there, I sat down somewhere near one Foreign Affairs mini office. I was jejely waiting there, Mumsy, Dad & my Aburo (sisto) were with me. Naxo one man with I.D card just come meet my mumsy say, is she your son, mumsy answer " yes". He come talk say make me i follow am (he looks like a Custom/immigration/foreign affairs staff, wasn't able to see details about his ID, but he be like say he get mouth for that airport, he was on a casual outfit, not in Uniform). He was with some travellers going to Canada as well. Naxo me just follow am, he told mumsy, say make dem give him her fone make he snap us Sharp sharp, telling her that " after this place they are not allowed to follow me to the Immigration section".

Mumsy come dey kinda cry, hug me, me come dey feel emotional but smiling, Daddy and my Aburo (sisto) no cry but we hugged, snapped pictures and said their BYES to me.

So i went through the Naija Immigration section, and it was seamless. This man was in our front all through, I no know wetin him dey follow those Customs guys, immigration guys talk. I guess that man na one ANGEL. I was with my one year Living Expenses in Cash $8K USD (equivalent to $10K CAD), I wasn't able to get PTA for naija bank cos my ticket na ONE WAY.

Naija Immigration guys only asked of my:
- International Passport
- Boarding Pass
- Yellow Card.

He made a stamp on my PASSPORT, collected my YELLOW CARD, gave me back my boarding pass and said I can go.

We went to another port of immigration, commot belt, remove shoes, remove phone, remove laptop put on big tray like that,entered the other side and left.

In a nutshell, I didn't grease anybody hands, nobody asked me for money (anything for the boys), nobody asked "how much is with you" customs seff no ask me any question, i just walk pass them as that man dey go for our front . I was just being attended to like a DIPLOMAT and all was a cruise.

Along the line I saw one cute yarinya (kai walahi odo wun yefe ), his Dad/guardian (an Airport/Aviation staff I guess) was with her putting her thru, na so we gather dey together dey gist till our Amsterdam Flight was called for boarding, but our seat come far, nobody to gist with again

FLIGHT FROM LAGOS TO AMSTERDAM (SCHIPOL AIRPORT)
Flight departed Naija : 11pm , August 11th

Food Was quite OK, Oyinbo Food, chai.... We were served twice. Me just zip my Orange Juice after eating.

Movies Yapa ,
I watched GOLD STATUE (Gabriel Afolayan, Sola Sobowale, RMD, Kalu Ikeagu) but didn't complete the movie, BOB Abishola TV series and WonderWoman 1984

Got to Amsterdam 5am the next day " August 12, we waited till 10.45am (5-6hrs stop over) before announcement was made about boarding the Flight going to Toronto from Amsterdam, we were on queue, the KLM staff there asked for my Docs., told him I was a student.

Showed him my
- COVID-19 Negative PCR test
- Boarding Pass
- Passport
- Travel Authorization Letter

He said I should make sure I show all documents to the CBSA guys at Toronto P.O.E. & he wished me a safe trip

I can count the number of Dark skin passengers on that aircraft, 80% of them were Whites, Middle East & Asians.

FLIGHT FROM AMSTERDAM TO TORONTO

On the KLM flight from Amsterdam to Toronto, we were served oyinbo food, me i just jejely asked for Natural Orange Fruit juice all through to press the food, the food was delicious, and was jejely sipping it (to keep boosting my immune system). I was able to complete the MOVIE (GOLD STATUE) on this flight, also saw the movie "Godzilla vs KingKong".

We arrived Toronto Pearson Airport 12.45pm (journey was 6-hours). We Trekked wella before getting to the CBSA officers check point. There was a machine i visited first with my international Passport (for Scanning) & also answered some questions, and also the machine snapped my picture, when i was through, a white slip was printed out automatically with my picture on it and some other info.

So I was on the queue, met an immigration officer (a Cute woman with a latina-like face attended to me);
she asked me
- why are you in Canada, told her to "TO STUDY"
- International Passport
- Negative COVID-19 Test result
- ArriveCAN receipt.

So on that slip that had my picture in it, she made a remark with a Marker on it, gave me back, and also gave me a Paper having some information about COVID-19.

So I proceeded to the next immigration officer.

He asked for my
- Passport (Gave to him)
- What I was in Canada
- Is this my first time in Canny?
- What DLI (School) are you attending?
- ArriveCAN receipt

Within 5-minutes, he printed my STUDY PERMIT, on that letter there was an information which shows I can work as a student & he also gave me a Work permit (Co-op Work permit). In a nutshell i got two WORK PERMITS.

I was directed to an exit, met another immigration officer, he asked how much was with me, I told him $8K USD ($10K CAD equivalent), was trying to bring it out, he just said "you can go"

Went to claim my LUGGAGE, saw my first bad, was intact, saw my second bag containing the food stuffs, the Bag has been opened, zip messed up, the KLM staff come dey apologize say na the people wey arrange my load no do am well, and talk say the few turbulence that happened in the air affected some luggage including mine. Checked if all was intact and discovered nothing was taking cos i get list of everything in a paper.

I am not vaccinated I Went for my PCR TEST, they asked if I have reg. on the switch health website, I said YES. So I went to switch health (representing TORONTO) to do the COVID-19 TEST. Afterwards, I.was directed to go get my COVID-19 TEST KIT

Note:
If you are landing at TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT (YYZ) make sure you reg. at the switch health website so you won't waste your time at the airport.

I connected to their Wifi and got across to my Airbnb host, cos she say make I call her if I don finish with Border officials.

My Airbnb host (a Philippine Woman) come use her OCHARA TEAR RUBBER TOYOTA JEEP come pick me for Airport go the Airbnb Location. She was very nice and welcoming, we gist small sha, and i related to her wella as if we don know each other before, she was enjoying our convo all through, me jz dey use some Geography totori her. We got to the Airbnb Location & she showed me around, her place make sense, bed dey bounce wella, WiFi dey (the speed no be here at all, I come use style remember my GLO network for Naija, wey I go Switch-On the WiFi, climb tree up go out am to receive fast network reception).

So far so good, Quarantine as being dope, na one Israeli guy dey the other apartment , he is fully vaccinated but was staying in a room in that same Airbnb. The guy sha help me change small money, rate was dope sha, come help me buy Groceries. He talk say if I need anything make I holla at him.

All I can say is, GOD TOOK PERFECT CONTROL, journey was long but amazing

I MUST say ORILEDE CANADA is damn amazing" no fire brigade approach from anyone, no body blood dey hot for here. Everyone looks cool , respectful and ready to help, everything na SEMPE SEMPE for here.

I pray for everyone awaiting a decision from IRCC, your Canadian Dreams would come to reality soon & very soon!!!

Peace!!!

My application is more than 2 months now. Eligibility hasn't started.

Maybe I should just double my own worries , if being worried can get it fixed

I suggest you raised webform to Niarobi and London since your application has passed the standard processing time

Gracehayford1:
It’s going to one month since I applied and my eligibility review has not started. But I’m seeing people that eligibility review started for them after 2-3 weeks of applying. Should I be worried?

Second application May 6 no update on medical and biometrics.

There's a part that says have attended school without authorization? I clicked yes as I have attended school and gave reason that I was authorized by the school to start as I have completed my first semester. Is it okay that way and I also wanted to write more but it has a limited letter count
