Hi all, sorry for posting this late. I think better late than never grin. Here is my POE experience , my flight was scheduled for Monday last week Ethiopia airlines. BTW this guys are organised and keep to time . I almost missed the flight cos of lagos-ibadan traffic. Well the flight was smooth and enjoyable one from lag to Addis Ababa -Dublin - Toronto - London. My bag of food was checked just once in lag which wasn't an that intense. So I brought in all foodstuff I could lay my hands on.
Okay away from the preambles, so at the poe at Toronto all the officers were full of smiles
Officer- why are u in Canada
Me- to study
Officer- do you have a doc from school
Me- yes ( brought out offer letter proudly)
Officer- okay, have u paid your fees
Me- no , but that will be taken care of by the school.I pointer to that in the letter with him
Officer- okay , how did you get that
Me- smiling sheepishly and saying I dunno maybe they like my grade
Officer- when is school resuming
Me- sept 8
Officer- why are you here early
Me- to start work on my research plus my supervisor requested I come in early
Officer- okay , do u have a place to stay
Me-yes
Offifer- do you know anyone in Canada
Me- no
Officer- pls excuse me for a minute
Me- okay but looking at time cos of my connecting flight
Officer- here is your study permit for 2 years and if you wish to extend call the following number. Smiling and saying have a nice day.
Me - I don fly away before I could respond
And that was all, plus I forgot to pick my luggage after that cos I was rushing so I missed the flight but I was booked for the next .
And I had to delay the gentleman supervisor of mine already waiting for me in London.
Sorry for the long post , I just tried to make it detailed so as to help us when approaching the POE.
All the best to us all.

Gastuso:
TRV Visual approval to Study PhD programme at the University of Alberta
Online Application submitted - 13 April 2016
Biometric - 15th April 2016
Note: I submitted my application without my police certificate, all academic degrees and transcripts, etc., Bc there is no column to upload them into. I took them to vfs and they were rejected. The lady me told me ignorance is not an excuse and your application stands to be rejected on the ground of incomplete documents.
Thus I immediately use the CIC case inquiry form to appeal for the inclusion of all my supporting documents not uploaded to be part of my application and also to Canadian Embassy in Accra. My appeal was approved by CIC within an interval of four days and my documents were all uploaded to my application.
I also made a serious blunder to apply for work permit and thus filled the column of work as part of my Study attaching my scholarship letter. On the 26th of May, I saw on CIC website that scholarship is not part of work. I immediately wrote to my department and graduate school of the University of Alberta. They responded immediately by notifying me that work is not part of my Study and scholarship awards given to graduate students does not amount to it.
I immediately wrote to CIC for the second time appealing for the exclusion of work permit in my application. A week later, I received a message from CIC stating "We need your Medical"
Medical Call - June 2nd
Medical done - June 6th
Medical Passed - June 10th
Passport Request - June 13th
Passport Submitted - June 14th
Application Approved - June 21
Application closed - June 22
Passport ready for collection mail - June 22
Passport collected - Just collected now, June 23.
Documents Submitted
SOA - Closing balance of 56k
Letter of Introduction and Sponsorship from my employer without bank statement
Admission & scholarship letter
My Pension account statement
Employment letter
My Staff identity card
My CV
Statement of Intent
Personal achievement in my career
Police report
All family members birth certificates
My academic certificates and transcripts, etc.
House members, I give God the glory for making my dream of studying in Canada come through. I also thank you all for your prayers, love and care. You are more than a family to me.
Hope to hear your good news too.
I have been a silent follower of this thread.
Don't mind my typos, in case you noticed any.
Congratulations
