sinorte: To God be the glory, great things he hath done! It's PPR my people.
I thank God Almighty for approving my SP application. It's only Him that can actually do it. IRCC, or the VO in charge of my file, was just a conduit for His works. I praise the name of God Almighty. Thank you Jesus!
I specially thank my spouse. I understand you just always want the best for the family. God bless you real good.
And now to the big masquerade, Makano, I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and support. Your professional guidance right from the onset is part of what we are celebrating today. You sure know what a sure application is. Despite my worries about the delay, you were cock sure that the visa would be issued, and more so in August. I know I didn't take to some of your advice, but I'm sure you'd understand that was due to anxiety about out nation. Thank you Makano. I recommend Makano to you all.
Meanwhile, Makano, we go still find way resolve that good dilemma.
Worthy mentions also to Mama12345, Ketima, Tobe1997 and Toceen2022. God bless you all.
Key information about my application and my timeline below:

O ya o! Make una help with visa submission process. I know it's been shared several times. I just need reassurance on the choice that can deliver my 'visaed' passport within a week. School resumes early September.

HouseRavenclaw: PPR alert!! I still cannot believe this has happened. It's been so long since I applied that it's felt like a daily delusion to keep up with this application. My case was ridiculously complex and I'm not even sure where to begin from. This is going to be long so prepare for a short tale.
In 2019, I got adopted by my father (who lives in Canada) and neither of us had any idea of how to work an application but we assumed it couldn't be that difficult if there were available funds. He sent me an invitation letter, his financial documents and a prepared itinerary of places we'd visit in order to give the application some substance.
Within a month, it was denied and that was devastating for both of us because we'd thought it was a straightforward process. In 2020, I hired an agency that had a visa approval rate of over 90% and they took a very pricey fee for the help.
One thing I will say about agents is that they can make or break your application. It is true that the average one in Nigeria is a con person but there are also very genuine agents and you just have to know where to find them. Even on Nairaland here, many end up hiring gurus to do the work of an agent so unless you're completely qualified to do the work and prepared to be as thorough as possible, please hire competent help.
They told me outright that only a study permit would give me a chance and my biological mom would have to be my main sponsor. They also told me I'd have to apply to a major university as it would ensure a tuition fee that would be worth showing IRCC I was serious about studying there. After supplying them my information, they applied to University of Concordia, Ontario and Ottawa. I got into all three within the month to study English Language.
I was going to pick the University of Concordia because it's in the same state as my adoptive father and I wouldn't have to pay for an apartment but they gave me a conditional acceptance dependent on a timely submission of an IELTS result. I found that silly and racist because my English results in WAEC and my high school transcripts were stellar and everyone knows Nigerians speak English as their main language. I probably speak English at a higher reading level than their Teaching Assistants so I responded declining their offer and applying with the University of Ottawa. The agency wrote my letter of explanation, addressing my former refusal in a way that I probably couldn't have done and they established strong home ties.
On the 23rd of August 2021, I applied. I wouldn't hear anything till October 15th when my medical request form came in. I got that done at IOM on the 20th of the same month and when they discovered I'd had tuberculosis at 16, they asked me to do a sputum test that week to save time because IRCC would definitely want additional medical attention.
On the 26th, 27th and 28th, I got my sputum tests done. I wouldn't receive any feedback till December when I was told I passed. On January 20th, I got the final xray done and my results were sent to IRCC. I remember thinking the worst of it was over when I received yet another email to go for a pulmonary testing at a recommended tuberculosis specialist and I had breathing exercises done. She also filed a report about her findings and cleared me.
On February the 17th, my medicals changed to "under review" and I hoped they would be passed before the month's end. When February was over and I didn't hear anything, I joined Nairaland to ask questions about what I could do. I got advised to send emails and web forms so I did those but I kept getting automated responses about "being in queue for processing" or being "under review".
In April, I contacted the MP office of Montréal and they gave me information saying my application was under eligibility review. That month, I ordered my GCMS notes and saw that it was not even true. My eligibility and criminality had been passed since the same day my medical request was sent in October 2021. My medicals had been stalled in the Central Admissibility Unit for months.
On June 1st, I got a Procedural Fairness Letter for medical inadmissibility. I take supplements to ensure my tuberculosis remains latent and apparently they cost more than was allocated for international students yearly. I was asked to prepare a mitigation plan to show how I'd cover the amount which exceeded the threshold.
Since I'd paid a tuition fee of $10,000 for my Fall semester, I had Healthcare coverage. I confirmed that it was active with the university pharmacy and they redirected me to my insurance provider which confirmed that not only was it active, they had my medication and covered it. I took a letter from them and the campus pharmacy and I submitted the health care plan on July 18th.
On July 26th, I passed my medicals. Once that happened, a part of me began to feel more assured but more nervous than ever. I started sending frenzies of emails and web forms requesting a final decision as my application was set to clock one year.
This morning I was about to have breakfast when I got the "donotreply" email. While trembling, I checked and there lay my BVL, Medical surveillance form and Original Passport Request. This has been the most difficult thing I've ever done and I am grateful for everyone who contributed to making this a reality, most especially my dad.

I stumbled on this thread a month after submissions when there was no movement with my application. I did not submit the numerous documents seen on the thread and doubted my application will be approved at a point especially home ties.
I got frustrated when my medicals was not updated for at least one month. I sent various emails to Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Abuja and filled numerous forms. My faith was tested and still I believed that God who started this will perfect it.
Documents summited include 1. Bank Statement (Salary and Savings account) 2. Payslips 3. Letter of Explanation on sums paid 4. Offer Letter from Company 5. Acceptance Letter from School 6. School fees balance payment (Submitted through Webform) 7. International Medical Insurance Certificate 8. School Certificates 9 Professional Membership Certificate

IamTheJ: Honorable Nairalanders,
I have finally confirmed It's not a dream; it's real. It's PPR!!!!
Got a email notification from IRCC around 9:30 am on June 27 to check my mail for a message. Without delay and with my inner eyes raised to, and fixed on, he who lives in the highest heavens, I logged in to my portal. I scrolled up slowly as I didn't want to rush it. I saw "You have 2 messages" on my dashboard, my shaky heart was strengthened a bit because, from what I have noticed from people's posts on Nairaland, PPR often comes with it's twin brother, BVL. Yet I continued scrolling up in slow motion; lo and behold, it was PPR and its twin brother. Then I glanced at the "Final decision" section and saw "Your application was approved...". Guys! Only heaven could say how large my heart dilated in joy.
I needed to take the whole day to be sure I wasn't seeing a vision or having a daydream, and share with families and friends.
Further below you'll find my timeline. But before that, it may interest you to know that my application is quite unusual. And since I joined Nairaland, I haven't seen any one similar.
To give you an idea:
1) FIRST TIME APPLICANT (NEW PORTAL)
2) DID EVERYTHING MYSELF WITHOUT MUCH PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (submitted my application just about amonth after joining Nairaland)
3) 38 years old with very little or no secular work experience (there's a reason for that, though). Single, but not searching yet. lol!
4) Currently not working (though was doing an online course that is not even related to my prospective program - Master's in Philosophy)
5) As a logical follow-up of no.4, NO FINANCIAL/PERSONAL ASSETS declared ( there's a reason, though). Didn't submit any personal Bank statement; just my sponsor's. (People are refused visa on the basis of lack of financial/personal assets. But I got approval even without any; what God cannot do does not exist).
6) SPONSORED BY A MATERNAL UNCLE (Mum's immediate younger brother) living and working in the US as a medical doctor. (Third-party sponsored applications get up to 95 - 98% refusal; practically all approvals I've seen on Nairaland are either self-sponsored, spouse-sponsored, parent-sponsored). But I got approval; God too strong o. When he opens the door, no one can close it.
As you can see, what we call "red flags" abound. Plus a plethora of other imperfections i noticed in my application after I had submitted, as I got more enlightened following people's inputs on Nairaland. In fact, when I read people's refusal reasons and the watertightness of approved applications, I felt there was no need to keep deceiving myself. I never gave up trusting in God, though. Tell me, then, why we can't call this a miracle from the Most High.
TIMELINE
- Application Submitted - MAY 11

Some unanswered questions on this thread will find responses with my case.
If you no Sabi pray and trust in God, begin now de learn am. If you no believe sey miracle still dey happen, you don see am now. lol!
KINDLY NOTE, HOWEVER: each person's case is unique. I tailored my LOE and I believe honesty pays. Know your case and present a tailor-made application. No complications.
Going to UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA. Someone told me amusingly that uOttawa visa applications are never turned down. lol! (Don't take this seriously, please). Na only God fit do the magic!
To be honest, I carry everyone here in my prayers. The Lord who did it for me will do it for each and everyone of you here trusting in Him. Rest assured of that. Thank you all for all your contributions on this thread. You'll surely smile soon, starting with the Fall session candidates because their case is more urgent. It'll surely end in praise!
I hope this encourages someone.
Thank you! Thank you!! And Thank you!!! Glory! This is a miracle. I tap into this miracle in Jesus name. Amen. Wishing you unending blessings. Congratulations!! |
