Thank you all for you kind words and good wishes.

Please what do I do next after this PPR.
I'm I sending my passport to the place I did my biometrics with the letter of correspondence and original request letter.
What else will I include while sending the passport and will I also send money.

There is an updated payment now. I guess you are sending to Abuja because it’s faster...if you did your biometrics in Abuja I don’t think you are to pay anything. Just send it to them. But if you didn’t do biometrics in Abuja... you are to pay 9410 transmission fee then 990 sms fee which is 10,400 in total, print out the receipt of the payment and attach then buy a brown envelope that can contain A4 paper and attach to it too. Let’s wait for others

Good Afternoon Everyone,


My application was submitted on April 6th and I just received my BVL and PPR today. I will be dropping my timeline and documents submitted before the week runs out.

I have a question which I would appreciate the forum’s response to. I already commenced admission deferral procedures to Fall 2023. Now that IRCC has approved my visa application, do I need to inform IRCC of my deferral?

Super Congratulations oh!! I’m April 5th and i am optimistic. Super congratulations. I don’t think there is a need informing them. Just pack and go... Fall is less than a month away.

Kidsister13:

I was just recovering from an illness so I didn't have much strength to drag with the security. My brother even drove me there. I'll go tomorrow again, I'm just having difficulty booking another one.

Sorry about that... you didn’t tell them you weren’t so strong. Have you been able to reschedule for tomorrow?

Congratulations in advance... for you to get medical request is a 95% approval rate.. for your daughter to get PPR August 4 means it is done already!! This is just 5days later. Your PPR will come this week only if you believe. They can’t give a minor PPR and leave the parents aside. I’ve not heard of family application that they gave the kid and left the parents... she’s a dependent na. On this note, let me be the 1st to say Congratulations to you and your family!!!

Hello, guys.

I missed my biometrics appointment due to heavy traffic which made me arrive 20 mins after the time and I wasn't allowed in. I'm trying to reschedule another appointment for tomorrow and it's saying I can't reschedule on appointment date.
Is there any way I can book another appointment today for tomorrow? And is there any consequences for missing an appointment?

Just 20mins late and you accepted to go and reschedule? Impossible!! I arrived 45mins late and told them I cannot go back because i had to fly to lagos and can’t go back because of 45mins... (I actually didn’t fly because i stay in Lagos) but that was the story i told them... i stood there, then later we went aside and you know now... After my biometrics, i shaa dashed her 500 on my way home because I’d still pass that gate so I couldn’t escape it

Ohalzprinx:
Good day sir,
I am student in my one of the universities on strike and I want to transfer to a foreign school in Canada (university of Calgary). I want to know if they accept transfer students and how to go about the whole process.
Thanks
The secondary school result I am using is NECO
Hope it is acceptable

Since your school is on strike. How can you get an Undergraduate transcript from your school? Someone applied as a transfer student and now has missed the deadline because the strike is still on and he can’t get transcript sent to Canada from his school directly... you don’t send it yourself... it’s between institutions.. If you can get it done then go ahead and apply as a transfer student... After the admission offer, you send in your detailed course outline prepared by your lecturers... Omo! This is another stress... It wasn’t an easy process for me... i also applied as a transfer student but with God by my side i pulled through. So after sending in your outlines... They evaluate and award you credits on some courses then you do the remaining courses. All the best

Hello everyone,
For those that have successfully travelled, what option did you pick here?
Beans, crayfish, stock fish and dry fish are part of the items that are in the luggages.

It’s no now... what you listed isn’t part of what they are asking yoi

SomBaby:
Hello... please anyone/solo traveler coming in to Brandon for probably Brandon university or Assiniboine college for the fall and looking for where to stay temporarily (1week or 2) should please DM. Let's help u save money on Airbnb. It's just for a few days and it's completely free...
But it's not my decision alone...my flatmates and I decided to give back to the society by harbouring someone for free for a week or two.

Preferably a male (a female too can as long as she can manage) as the person has to occupy our living room during the period of stay

About us; we are a group of three(2ladies and a guy) sharing an apartment (3bedroom) we met here on thread 20 before our journey to Canada last year December. I am a lady from Anambra (Catholic) the second lady is from Benin (Muslim) while the guy is from Delta(Redeemed).

Thanks

Catholic and Redeem that is Christians? Or are they different Religions? God bless you for trying to help... If only that was my destination... it’s inside room me i will stay not living room oh... Lol! My back will break abeg

The Lord has helped me, What God cannot do does not exist!!! #NSPPD #7amFirePrayers.

I sent mail to the embassy this morning and the content is “What God cannot do does not exist”. I don ready for Spiritual War like this. Let them bring it on.

Pat978:
Hi Guys! I forgot about my application and just check today….
I applied on 30th June 2022
Upfront Medicals on 19th July 2022
Medicals Updated on August 4th 2022
I never knew it was updated cause I didn’t receive any email haha
But PPR/BVL next by God’s Grace✨
Hope to resume school in September��

Medical update doesn’t come with mail

I had to repost for us that would get PPR tomorrow and would need shopping list.


Good morning All...
So here is a list of food items you can comfortably take to Canada.

Cray fish (blend it to avoid poking)

Stock fish

Smoked fish

Powdered maggi (chicken flavor isn’t allowed but you can repack in a ziplock and name it spice... no shaa forget say na maggi when you wan use am)

Palm oil ( Freeze it for about a week before you travel, let it turn to stone so it won’t defrost easily)

Blended dry pepper ( Red ones or even Cameroon pepper)

Egusi, Osu, Okpei, Achi

Beans, Bean powder

Ogbono ( blend too, we want everything neatly packed and don’t forget to put names on them)

Dry Iru

Spices ( friedrice spice oh, jollof spice oh etc)
Pepper soup spice.( trust me, you will need pepper soup alot, cold no be here)

Suya spice/Yaji ( If you grill chicken with yaji eh! You go chop finger, walahi)

Garri (packed in ziplock oh! Domestic carry sack like Mr Okoro)

Ground nut and Peanuts ( our Nigerian groundnut is on another level, you can’t get same taste in Canada... in plastic bottle oh)

Your favorite snacks that are not in Canada, pack them too. Na you go pay for extra luggage size.

Medication (Very important... there are no mosquitoes there but you fit still carry malaria drugs.. getting drugs over there isn’t as easy as walking into a pharmacy here..Get your paracetamol, flagyl, ibuprofen, vitamin C, your supplements etc

Aboniki balm ( Very important please, you won’t get hot balm over there and aboniki is sooo expensive there, get a pack or 2 if possible.

Ogi/ Akamu/ Pap (If you are a pap lover like me, mbok carry am go especially ginger pap..you can put in a ziplock and freeze to stone or NOT! Pap no dey quick spoil).

Ukpaka/ Ugba/ Oil bean ( If you still want your roasted plantain and yam feel over there, carry this along, you can just refrigerate and put in your bag the day you are traveling )

Vegetables ,Ugu/ Ewedu/ Bitter leaf ( Wash your bitter leaf to the point you want the bitter taste,put in a ziplock and freeze, slice your ugu after washing... allow to dry again like water never touched it and put inna ziplock.. pick your ewedu too and do like the ugu)

For the stubborn ones that must carry yam... slice it up, peel and cut in sizes then put in ziplock and leave in the fridge before you travel... yam can last up to 3 weeks even when stored this way, it will still be fresh any day you want to use it.

Okpa flour/Bambara nut ( I already said flour so don’t forget to grind it and name it)

Abacha

For my ladies, Don’t forget...

Relaxer

Pads ( Some of us have a particular one we are used to and don’t react to...so pack some with you before you get another one that will replace it over there... you wouldn’t want to start searching for a suitable pad the moment you get there.

Milk isn’t allowed but people take it in. Just repack in a ziplock and name it a different thing like bean flour, bambara powder, yam flour, rice flour/tuwo etc.. Just any powder that look like milk and please when they pick interest in your milk particularly, stand your ground without shaking and tell them it’s what you named it and not milk, go ahead and ask them to taste it if they want and ask them why you would want to take milk in when it’s not allowed... Like who gets this far and ends up wasting time because of milk. But if you will start shaking, kuku no carry milk.

NB: Every packed food item must be in Ziplock or transparent bag so it can be visible enough.

There are other food items but these are the most common ones. From this list, you can have an idea of other things you can carry.

I don’t think seeds are allowed because they think you will plant them.
No poultry products like chicken maggi and the rest, anything with chicken on it is a No even benny and mivina used to season chicken.. so pour content in a ziplock and name Spice M and Spice B.

Then your personal things shaa.
Go with a Universal Adaptor oh, very important because their sockets isn’t same as ours so you don’t get stock incase your chargers don’t fit in.

Guys, don’t bother going with your Nigerian clipper, it can’t be used there or so i heard.

Thanks

Hafeez6948:
Thanks, i have drafted ppr testimonial on my notepad since last month.
Yes i am a Muslim i pray daily and at night, i also pray for others that are in a similar situation as mine and still praying every day i even kneel down randomly during the day to cry to God
As for my name ,its actually Hafeez. You are included in my prayers as u av included me in yours. I appreciate your response may God bless you and answer our ppr prayers.
As for email, there's nothing i have not written to IRCC and even to MPs always polite and explaining in great details how the delay is affecting me health wise. i believe God will touch their heart .thank you

Amen!!! It is done actually... don’t worry. I don add Hafeez now

TiggyAce:
Hanzel please I’m on a waiting list at Assiniboine Community college and don’t know my faith for admission

Help me out or anyone with a diploma school that can accept me with a 3rd class of microbiology with am IELTS score of 5.5 band pls so as I will have a second option. Is been 2years have been seeking for an admission pls GURUS

I think your chances are slim but i hope you get one soonest, anything is possible... Ielts isn’t needed for admission or is it?

Sanyaa:
Dear Gurus
I have someone who wants to stand as my sponsor, but is not related to me. I intended to say he is my cousin, but I don't have evidence, nor can I plot a family tree supporting this. Please can anyone advise me on what to do, he is willing to write a letter of support and also willing to do some transfers to my account which will reflect in his account prior to the submission of the application, but is this enough? thank you

Cousin? What of maternal uncle or aunt? At least no one will ask for your mom’s maiden name

Hafeez6948:
Thanks alot i appreciate i will try jogging from tomorrow . I have anxiety issues as well but i didn't know it will affect me cuz my confidence level was through the roof when i started this application. Thanks

Please do something for me. On a piece of paper, write out your Congratulatory message the way you want it. For example “Congratulations Charito, your study permit application was approved, kindly send us your passport to finalize your application” Add a date next to it, make sure the date is this week..
Write other things you want in the Congratulatory message.

I don’t know but I think you are a Muslim, I don’t know if you do night prayers... if you do, please pray at night, after prayers send your last mail and webforms to the Chinese offices... make sure you narrate this anxiety of yours and bp due largely to their delay in your application. (That would be the last mail you will send to them because an approval will come forth) You are to pray with your congratulatory message oh.

Then you can email me your full name or drop it here if you don’t mind. I also want to join you in my own prayers. E don reach to battle this thing spiritually.

Anyone else who has waited endlessly can also drop their full name as it is in their application:.. let’s summon these VOs on the Altar of Fire.

You can also pray for me too... we can support each other spiritually by praying... it’s not easy but it must end soon.

Hafeez6948:
I was trying to watch a movie on my phone just to distract myself from IRCC delay when i suddenly fell asleep with one side of my face on the pillow. Awhile later i woke suddenly to hear my heart pounding as if it was located at the back of my ear. I rushed to my dad's room to use his Bp machine to check and behold my Bp don rise. I am a 25 years old guy i no deserve all this mental stress wey IRCC dey give me ooh. Today makes it 5 months and 5 days since i applied, i have missed May intake and September is just around the corner. When i write to them ,they will tell me to withhold from writing further. Na student visa i apply for abi na for days of unending misery and pain. I am trying to be strong Aswear. To anyone in similar situation as mine may God give us the strength to see this journey through.

Amen!!! It will end in praise... i am optimistic. Mine is 4 months now. All these will be stories to tell soon

MsLoolah:
PPR!!! Long post alert…
I am updating because I said I would after I decide on what to do.

I came here in March to ask for advice about my situation. I got a study permit approval last year August but I wanted to change schools, I learned I would need to reapply again or take a semester then Change schools. I wrote a lengthy message explaining my situation, I explained that I didn’t want to waste 1st semester fees of over 2.7m in a school and degree I wasn’t interested in any longer. I also explained I would like to go with my husband but he kept getting refused. So I planned to reapply again with him as accompanying since I had better chances of getting a visa.

After explaining my ordeal on here, I got different responses from people. Some were helpful but others were just trying to scare me. I had one person say I wanted to reapply again for a man, I had another saying I should waste 2.7m that so many people would kill to be in my shoes (I do not dispute that), I had another saying I was lucky to even have a visa and when I explained I had enough documents to ensure I was given and ofocourse God, they resulted to saying I was bragging.

I won’t lie, I was crippled with fear for 2 months not knowing what to do. I spoke with my mum and she said to me, ‘they have no reason to refuse you’, ‘if you wanted to stay there illegally, which is one of the main reasons they refuse people, then you would have used the visa already granted to stay’, they can’t separate you and your husband it just doesn’t make sense. She said ‘reapply again, and explain to them you do not wish to be separated from your husband and why you want to purse this new shorter course’ so I got up and did just that.

I wrote a 2 page LOE for myself and a 2 page LOE for my husband accompanying visiting visa. I made sure to include every single documents they would need to understand I was going to further my career for my business and why I need my husband to have access to me whenever he pleases. I used my mum as my sponsor and my business as ties to my homes country. Prior to applying for the previous visa my husband didn’t have a travel history, but during those 2 months, we applied and got a Schengen visa, we visited France, Istanbul and went to Dubai. We do not have any landed properties, both our businesses served as ties to our home country.

We submitted, we waited and we prayed. I got my PPR last week, already sent my passport and today my husband got his. This platform is really helpful and can aid a lot of applications and questions you may have. But do not let their opinions decide what you want to do, they would project their fears on you and if you are not strong minded you will succumb to it. I understand they have seen or heard their fair share of reasons for refusals but that’s not you. If you don’t try you will never know. I almost left Nigeria, I won’t lie. I almost left my husband behind hoping to see him when I have a break or when IRCC decides to grant him a visa. But thank God I didn’t. I know my story is different to a lot of people but let it serve as motivation to gather all the information from this platform, get all your documents right and just submit that application. You might it get a refusal which can be very heart breaking but guess what? You could also get an approval. You just have to keep trying.

I will be posting the timeline and documents shortly.

Congratulations to you and yours...

Yes ooo
June 9 applicant
Medical passed
But eligibility has not started
My school resumes on 6 sept

Forget the eligibility you are looking at. Some eligibility has been on since May till today... some got eligibility and PPR came next day. Some get PPR straight then other things will change on the portal... Which do you prefer? Be praying for PPR forget looking at Man’s time.. We’ve seen PPR while waiting for just medicals... As in PPR came within medicals and the person went ahead to do medicals. If you are seriously pursuing eligibility and it comes and remains there for months nko?

Hello guys,

I will really appreciate your advice and help. My application is 15 weeks old, 10 days ago, I go BVL letter but no final decision. I have emailed all the IRCC offices around the world, they now even know my name, still no way.

What can I do please, I’m getting tired of waiting. BVL and no decision just like that, the suspense is mad.

It could Be like that sometimes and I know it’s frustrating... if you know how i am praying to get this BVL ehn! Because that is another ray of hope that you have not been forgotten and decision has been made. Relax! You are at the end of the road and it won’t pass this week... the most important thing is that it’s a positive response which i am optimistic about. You can start packing your bags. Let me be the 1st to say Congratulations to you
