Kai! You just gave me an assignment. Ok, I don get the answer with the help of Google as follows:

What Is Eastern Time?
Eastern Time (ET) is the easternmost time zone in the United States. It is also used in Canada.

Almost half of the population in the USA live in the ET time zone. It spans from northern Canada and all the way south to Panama near the equator.

In North America, Eastern Time shares a border with Atlantic Time (AT) in the east and with Central Time (CT) in the west.

Lmao… thanks jareh! So it’s Eastern time but not used in Africa

@CharitiJames incase I want to order pls do I go about it ?

I already explained that someone helped me… I couldn’t do on my own and I think there is someone here who helps but I don’t know the person

Khalifah7459:
Ok thank you I will chill for more little time

Go ahead and order… your application is over a month and your notes will take another 30days and more to arrive, that means 2 months and more so please order

dancyn:
Application submitted 31st May please how can I order GCMS note?

I tried ordering for mine but my card couldn’t do the payment… Shaa someone had to help me order. I think there is someone here who helps people but I don’t know

Isyma:
Your application is still very new bro, no need for any GCM notes

People order notes from 6 weeks Sir, stop giving advice that won’t help… is there any time stated that one should order notes? Is it from 30 weeks?

eseosaaa:
Good evening house
I am a second time applicant
My first application was a month and 27 days(i started counting from the day i submitted my application) before I got my refusal letter and my second application is almost getting to two months now. Do I need to be worried as I heard second time applicants do receive decisions faster?

I have sent countless webforms and emails to Nairobi, lagos, accra,London abuja yet Nothing. they haven't even updated my medical and biometrics




And also when submitting my application I didn't include a picture of I and my sponsor. Do I need to do that?

There is absolutely nothing to be worried about… every application is different… more than the time frame, you should be more interested in getting an approval… I’ve seen second application of 7 months that still got a refusal and another of 7months that was approved

Khalifah7459:
Hello everyone!
Pls how can I order my GCMS note please
I submitted my application since July 21
Done my Biometric July 25 and updated on my portal July 26 and no mail or any other update till now
Help a soul �

But the next update has to be PPR.. What other updates do people expect when their application is within processing time… Relax it will end in praise.

Ocool:
Yes, you are right and it is because GCkey is set to use Canadian time.

But the people that process and update applications from Nigeria are in their Nairobi Office. That was why mentioned Nairobi.

Oh! Okay… I even thought it was Nairobi time oh… Plus that “ET” what does it even mean? I was translating it as Eastern time

bioladebs93:
Good day everyone, please I would appreciate response on this as it’s not clear to me.Please is it possible for someone who as OND with his transcripts available apply to colleges in Canada for PGD?

Pgd with Ond? Can you even use OND in Nigeria to do Pgd? Even HND is not very easily accepted.

Frankielilbaby:
Please guys any June 2022 applicant for fall intake my timeline
Applied 21st June
Upfront medical 26th July
Biometrics 28th June
Medicals updated 8th September.

Uottawa has denied my deferral request and given me until 30th of September to get a study permit I have contacted Nairobi several times, do you think I should just give up and withdraw my applications and wait another year?

Attach the mail Uottawa sent to you and mail IRCC again… it’s like the URGENT subject is no more serious again

lolathegenie:
good afternoon please i just saw this when i logged in to check my application
i received no email before getting this
and there's no button to submit it
im a bit concerned

Check your spam and know what exactly they asked for…and also what is written on your dashboard? The place where Confirmation and Biometrics letter is… as in where you see your list of messages. What is there?

NeedAdvice00:
It's PPR guys

Congratulations

Ocool:
Do you know they are 2 hours ahead of us in Nairobi? Have you added the 2 hours to the time you quoting?

GCKey is 5hrs behind us… the time on GCKEY is 5hrs behind us

Letuspraytogod:
PPR only comes in the mornings?

Before 3pm, this people don close work. Like say something dey pursue them.

Has anyone ever received PPR in the evening ? Or after 2pm?

You dey use Nigerian time check for them? Lmao

FaithCanny:
So sorry I am sending it late.

First time Application: Feb. 20, 2022
Refusal : May 30th, 2022
Based on Personal Asset and Financial status

I was dazed when I received this hot breakfast but I had earlier applied for my GCMS notes and it came in July.
Quickly contacted Makano, the instrument God used for me, he did not disappoint. He had time for my questions, would not give me space to relent when I felt like giving up.
I had lump sums and no documentation to back it up fortunately, Makano noticed I could use my statement since the large amount were from my employer and was stated there.
Makano did a good job on the LOE and SOP, afterwards I applied.

2nd Application: July 30, 2022
Eligibility has not started till now and background check still ongoing.
12th September 2022 - PPR

It is God o!
My hope and trust was on God. I keep checking to ensure the its still there.

Eligibility started but wasn’t updated… it happens a lot. Congratulations

To everyone waiting for PPR, keep up the faith. Your PPR will come and Canada will favour us all.

University of Ottawa is my destination. Is there any group for uOttawa students?

This news is beautiful… Congratulations to you and yours

Redemption77:
Thank you,
My bad, it(GCkeys) was before the biometrics..
My worry is that I haven’t heard from them since the biometrics..

You won’t hear from them till they request for medicals if you haven’t done it upfront.: your biometrics will be updated. Application processing time is 12weeks or more. So just wait it out

aji2000:
hello gurus,

Kindly advise on this situation. My application will clock a month on the 18th, my upfront medical has been updated while my biometrics which I did the next day hasn't been updated. Please can I start sending mails and webforms on this?

Yes, you can send mails to that effect

Predator188:
Not yet I sent webform waiting for response...

Fingers crossed… very soon

awele001:
Thank you for ur answer, but if they request proof of funds, am i going to show them the bank statement of four months dat i summit to embassy? Meaning i will travel with the statementof account. Which one is enrollement letter. Sorry I don't really know how to reply on this tread

Enrollment letter is given to you by school after you have registered for your courses to show you are enrolled for the semester

awele001:
Thank you for ur answer, but if they request proof of funds, am i going to show them the bank statement of four months dat i summit to embassy? Meaning i will travel with the statementof account

Admission letter and LOI are the compulsory ones… others they randomly ask in no particular order. The people that traveled recently were only asked of Passport and LOI… but it’s good to have everything because Enrollment letter can be asked of and others

Yes, you can print it out and go with it… but for those their statement is much like over 4k or even 7k pages, I don’t think it’s necessary to print out… Let’s wait for others

Redemption77:
Thank you, after my biometrics that day(1st sept), I created a profile on the Canadian portal, using GCkeys.
Since then, I haven’t gotten any message from the IRCC, whether through email or the portal that I opened.
I heard it would take at least three working days or so, but today’s already 13th.

I don’t understand. How is it that you did biometrics before creating a GCKey? You can mail me let me understand you correctly… Creating a GCKey is the 1st thing to do, then you apply and pay for your application and biometrics, IRCC will send you a letter to go for biometrics. So how did you get the instruction letter you used for biometrics?

llionaire:
Thanks. I just dropped it. How about grounded crayfish and dry fish? Should I pick "yes" in the arrivecan form?

Yes, they are allowed

awele001:
Pls house i was told if the embassy issue visa wen u arrive canada before they issue study permit they will request to see ur acceptance letter, letter of introduction fron the embassy and proof of funds. If this is correct, how do u show the proof of funds, or are we traveling with the statement of account we summited to embassy? Pls i need asnwers

Admission letter and LOI are the compulsory ones… others they randomly ask in no particular order. The people that traveled recently were only asked of Passport and LOI… but it’s good to have everything because Enrollment letter can be asked of and others

Redemption77:
Someone should please assist on this, God bless y’all

I don’t understand your question. What news are you expecting?

Sylvester4040:
Yes on my portal
This was the name written there "validity of your biometric information"

I only know of Correspondence letter

Sylvester4040:
Good morning everyone, please do not mind my post being too long.
I got the below letter from ircc today

RE: validity of your biometric information
Thank you for providing your biometric information (i.e. digital fingerprints and photograph) in
support of your temporary resident application to Canada. The purpose of this letter is to notify
you that your biometric information is valid until (yyyy/mm/dd) for subsequent
temporary resident applications to Canada.


Is this what is known as BVL.

You got the letter where? Is it in your portal? What is the name written there? Or was it a mail?
