Yes bros. I will chat you up on whatsapp.

Jaakay:
Bros, I am interested in the fridge. Despite your price, can it go for 150k? I will aldo be interested in any other item you want to dispose of.

Abercrome:
Yes, I landed safely and I’m adjusting well. My husband got $2k from his bank (FCMB) through the PTA route. We supplemented this by buying CAD from the black market. My brother helped me with this one but I can ask him what the black market process is. We also still had quite a lot of NGN when we landed and will be looking to convert this soon. Have you tried PTA?

Good evening house,

Please I need your advice on this issue.

I already got passport request and have sent my passport for stamping for a 2-year programme. I was supposed to resume in September 2023, but PPR didn't come until my school's deadline for study permit submission passed on August 15th. Now school says my admission has been deferred to May 2024. They just sent the new admission letter.

Will I need to send the new LOA to IRCC? Or just wait and travel in April 2024?

Hope there wouldn't be any complications?

Also, my medicals will expire in January 2024. Do I need to do a new one before April?

Please kindly advise on the best approach.

Thank you

My Canada student visa was denied, and I paid full tuition fees. I have more than 7.5m in my acc and 5m investment too. The denial letter says my assets and financial situation is insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself. I want to re-apply What should I do to get the visa?

These IRCC VOs have obviously overstretched their bandwidths. Referencing a ban where there is none is a big competency problem.

They should learn efficiency in visa processing from the U.K!!!!

On May 5th, they told me my application was under review. Yesterday, they said it is awaiting review. Can you imagine?

Thanks for your response. But I intend to use it along with my gtb account.

If you haven't booked your flight already, I will advise you take a strategic position on it and do the following:

1. Change your VPN to Canada. This will make cookies see your location as in Canada.
2. Search around 12am and 4am EST for cheapest flight tickets.
3. Focus on AirCanada, British Airline, AirFrance and KLM.
4. You will be able to book for around CAD 500 and CAD 1,300 if you have CAD or other foreign currency to pay.
5. If you do not have CAD, and you are able to get a cheap flight from AirCanada, they have partnership with British Airlines, they most probably would want you to leave Nigeria on a British Airlines flight because they don't ply Nigeria route, call them and ask if you could come to their office to make payment using NGN, they will charge the official rate of around $1/330. Ask before taking this action.

This is my advice.

This information/method is proven as I have booked a flight in the past for a family of 3 traveling from Nigeria to Canada within 4 days interval between booking date and flight date for just $3,888-- I believe you can imagine how much this would have cost. It would have cost not less than $10,000 as that was what I found. I even saw flight tickets as high as $15,000, $20,000 etc.

Kindly do not take this as an advert or professional advice. I only shared what I know and have tested which worked for me. It may not work for you.

EDIT.
Do not board a flight having stop over in the US if you don't have US visa.

Flights going through the US are always cheaper; do not be tempted to buy this tickets if you don't have the US visa.

Also, if your journey is having more than one stop over in Schengen region, do not board if you don't have visa. You can board if it's just one stop over in Shengen region.

You can pass through the UK and the Ireland without a visa if you hold a Canadian visa.

tajuowo:
that was the problem. i didn't have usd to pay directly. the prices for aug or sept travels are outrageous. but i will try this technique of yours when my family is coming over. thanks

Thanks a lot for the response. So this is a screenshot of the Request Letter. Since they included the option of sending in proof of previous biometric submission, I thought that should suffice.

However, the time frame they gave has now passed for the payment (we sent the BVL on the same day we got the Request Letter), so we will most likely upload the reciept via their Web form if we make the payment now.

Given this new info, what do you think?

Bamz555:
I think u should go and do a new biometrics as they suggested u do

Hello everyone, please I need the thoughts of gurus in the house:

My spouse applied for Study Permit to Canada in 2018 when she was single, but was refused. Fast forward to Feb 18 2023, she reapplied again, but this time as married. The issue now is, when filling the IMM forms for this application, we filled out the UCI number from the old application (since her biometrics is tied to that and still valid). Upon submission, however, we noticed her account was updated with a new UCI number that was different from the previous one.

On March 1st: Her upfront medical was updated to pass.
On March 8th: We received a request letter in her account asking her to either pay the fee for Biometric capture and upload the receipt or provide proof of previous biometric capture in place of the receipt. We immediately sent her BVL from the last application (also containing the old UCI number)

There was no update on the account until 11th of April, when Eligibility review started. But her biometric details (Biometrics Number, Date of Biometrics Enrolment, and Expiry Date) were not updated (and haven't been updated till now).

Since then, no update on the account and the processing time is past 10 weeks now. We used MBS for all the SOAs submitted. When I check her biometric validity with the Old UCI and her maiden name, it shows as valid with the expiry date. But when I check with the new UCI number and name, it shows Not Applicable.

We sent a web form on the 22nd of April, and this is the response we got:

Good Day,

In response to your email enquiry below, kindly note that this application is still under active review by our office. At the moment, we are not in a position to give a clear indication of when we anticipate finalizing this application.

However, we wish to inform you that our office is doing the necessary to ensure that this application is processed and finalised within the shortest timeframe possible.

We trust that this information suffices in responding to your enquiry.

I have reached out via email and web form after this, but no response. On her tracker, it shows Biometrics, Eligibility, and Background verification is in progress. But I think there might be some difficulty arising due to the UCI number difference.

We submitted all necessary documentation and pictures regarding the marriage and change of name.

What do you think/advise we do? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

OkukuOne:
You should use the sponsor's account. Also, it doesn't matter where the money lies between the spouses. What is key are:

1. Proof of r/ship (Marriage)
2. POF sufficient for the purpose

On where to apply. Is best practice, you create your own Gc Key and apply for yours when it is time.

Good luck!
