Get your passport stamped first.
Then send a webform to update you information. Your Visa can always be extended with the new information provided.

Teejackz11009:
One more question is if luckily I get my new LOA from school for September 2023 intake (let's say I got the new LOA nextweek)and I updated the IRCC.. if I intend to take my PPR and passport documents to embassy that same nextweek, Will they issue the Visa as at the date for September 2023 or will they still issue it as the last date of my expired admission letter? I just need a clearance about this. I just want to be very careful before deciding.

Wow!!!
Congratulations.
I'm happy that you received a positive response after all the wahala.

The Hectic Point;
After completing medicals on the 2nd of Sept. 2022, spouse and kids medicals were updated within hours. On the 17th spouse got PPR, mine and kids got withheld, boom.....letter for repeat of medical (sputum & X-ray) for TB investigation flew in via email from London. I was given 90days as usual. 22nd of Sept. i went for the sputun deposition, was told to wait for 8-10wks. 19th of December, i called IOM only to be told to wait till 22nd, but then i had already perceived the sputum culture results were -ve. The lady told me i must obey the instruction, that infuriated me, instantly i threatened them with a lawsuit, "BOOM".......they immediately sent my sputum -ve result and instantly booked me for repeat X-ray on the 20th of December 2022 (2days before their stipulated due date - 22nd), only to find out the sputum -ve result had been released to them by the physician 26days aback but they kept it with them. 20th i turned up, was made to hands-up for almost 45mins for shut after shut to an extent my hands lost stimulus. Meanwhile i had gone through same "bruhaha" on the 2nd of Sept i went with family, as they had to call me back 5x for repeat of X-ray. Fast forward, IOM physician ordered me to consult a Specialist Pulmonologist for details lungs examination, which i did instantly (US$100) per hour was the cheapest i got. Baba Pulmonologist invited me on the 22nd of December 2022 for the examination, did all and drafted his findings as "No TB symptoms or any suggestive finding". Boomm.....baba Pulmonologist ordered me to another allied but next door X-ray centre. The X-ray was performed but burnt onto a CD plate, sealed and handed to me to return to the baba Pulmonologist. Went back and he reviewed the film on his computer, still nothing suggestive of TB. Boom, baba Pulmonologist referred me to the country's TB centre for Tuberculin skin/Mantox test (injection with Purified Protein Derivative/PPD). Rushed there but they had knocked off for the day. "23rd na me wake dem up", took the shut, it swelled up but flattened after 15mins. Was instructed to return in the next 72hrs for review of the injection site and certification . 26th of December, "Boxing Day" na me still wake dem up. The nurse checked and found the injection site vanished, consequently issued a PPD -ve certificate. Immediately i forwarded it to IOM, cc to Baba Pulmonologist and bombarded IRCC both via webforms and emails, engaged the Kitchener MP Hon. Mike's office as well, his office acted on it right away because they had been following up with the IRCC right from the 85th day post submission of our apps. Hon. Mike's office responded within 24hrs with the update given by the IRCC. 3wks later, PPRs rained in. Can't even feel those tamtrums that transpired.

To God Be All Glory!

For all awaiting decisions or yet to apply, keep it REAL & CLEAN, do your BEST and NEVER give up, "YOUR APPLICATIONS DECISION SHALL COME +VE"!

Yes

I have returned to share the good news on behalf of my wife!!!
It's PPR
God came through for us!!

I came to Nairaland in search of direction and guidance. I have been on the journey for ages and no one could help me financially, so I gave up. After a long while close pals that are in Canada advised me that since I can now afford it, I should try and join them in Canada. I tried and got admission in 2015/16, but I opted out again considering the fact that I am now married and it will be difficult to school, work, and work extra to care for the family I will be leaving behind. Again, I opted out.

Fast forward to 2021, two of my close pals (same friends) encouraged me to make a move now. They believe that I can comfortably pay the fees now. Well, this time around, I changed the narrative. I applied for my wife to study while I sponsor her.

She got admitted and we started looking for information and the best way to get SP. My good friend who persuaded me to start the journey again was there and feeding me with information bit by bit. But because of my person who knows Nairaland as far back as 2007, I fell back here to search for more information. I don't like to be at the mercy of any man. I started digging and reading timelines. I asked questions 2 or 3 times. I also mistakenly mentioned to my friend that I saw a different view from his in Nairaland. This got him mad and started treating me poorly. I got to a point, I felt it was time to do this thing on my own. I didn't contact him any longer and if he ask me about the process, I just tell him, we are waiting on God. in between, I had good savings, but money is never enough, so I mistakenly asked him and the other of my friend to help with payment of my wife first-semester fee while I kept my money I already saved as POF. I didn't intend to touch it till she leaves. This also caused another bad blood. Two of them turned their back on me w.r.t. money. If you really love your friends, I will advise, you should avoid asking for money from them. Money spoils relationships a lot.

We got admitted in March 2022, but we submitted the application in September 2022 because I want to satisfy my conscience that the money we had was well above what is needed.

It's one year program that is to commence in winter 2023. We paid the first-semester fee and showed a POF of over 13mil. After the application, I removed my mind completely till the allotted time for SP finishes before sending webform. This is not to say we were not checking her email. I raised just one webform on the 12th of December 2022 informing IRCC that the allotted time for review (60/90 days) has elapsed. I didn't hear from them on the 12th and 13th, but on the 14th day of December 2022, my wife's email got a new mail. The email address was strictly for this process. So, I hurriedly opened it on my phone and you need to see the joy overflowing in me.

Majority of the documents I gathered as supporting documents (i.e. a letter of reference from my company to a letter of reference from where she volunteered) I forgot to upload. These were key documents, but God proves Himself...

God will not share His glory with any man.

Our Covenant highway came earlier than expected.

My final word here to all, everybody's situation is peculiar, though you can have one or two situations that look the same.

To all those waiting, the GOD that did this for us will do for you. Just have faith and believe.

See you all on the other side SOWP and Study Permits for kids.

10) Client Information (which includes SOP, Acceptance Letter from my PPA during NYSC year which ended in March, University Certificate, Transcript, WAEC Result, NYSC Certificate, Online Certificates related to my preferred course of study)
12) Different Pictures of myself and all my family members at my sister's wedding, my matriculation, my mother's convocation (Most of the pictures were of myself and my mom who is my sole sponsor).

I applied by myself with all the information I got from Nairaland and YouTube. All the sponsorship letters I wrote by myself, and just gave my mom to sign and scanned. I also paid my tuition with Form A even though it was a hassle, I disturbed FCMB with emails and calls for three months before it was finally disbursed. I lost my Dad a week before I applied, but I thought against including his death certificate so it doesn't affect the application. I don't know, but I feel the application was approved because it was backed with a lot of supporting documents to prove my sponsor is really established in Nigeria and can afford to fund my stay and schooling in Canada. I also wrote a very detailed SOP about why I was going to study for a post secondary diploma even though I had a Bsc which is higher and also in a totally different field, I explained the importance to my career growth and I also emphasized that after my studies I was going to come back to Naij and pursue a career and take care of my mom most importantly.

All these couldn't have been possible without God's intervention though, so I just suggest that we all involve God in all the processes as much as we can. This journey has really thought me to never underestimate the power of prayers.
I hope this helps somebody and I wish speedy approvals to everyone hopeful for a decision.

See y'all in Canada soon!!!!
