The Post:

Please, read carefully.

Someone submitted her Study Permit Application in April without upfront Medical for fall semester.

Finally, decided to go for Upfront Medical after waiting for over 12 weeks without any updates or Medical request apart from Biometric Confirmation from April.

Upfront Medical was done in July because of difficulty in getting an appointment in June.

Medical status got updated to pass in about 4/5 days after Submitting Med information sheet via webform.

It’s over 13 weeks now and Eligibility review doesn’t show on gckey that it has started.

Questions:

1. Is it possible to get ppr without eligibility showing it has started on gckey?

2. How long does eligibility review last before ppr? That is, the expected duration. I know everyone case would be different.

3. Since the application is over 13 weeks and fall Semester is just a little above 1 month from now. Is it ideal to send emails to MP to inquire about the status of her visa ?

I’ll appreciate your reply if you have any other suggestions. Thanks

Oh! I read the post already...
1) Yes
2/ no duration at all... eligibility can start today and you get PPR tomorrow... it can still not show that it has started till PPR comes
3) Start sending out mails and webforms

Litey8:

I’m not good with this app oh... I can’t check previous post.. help me

Hello everyone and good morning……i got my passport request on the 29th july after submitting my application april 13th for a study permit. Normally this is good news but i am worried because a medical was not requested which i thought was the next step since I didn’t do upfront medicals. But God is good i have waited for this since and I’m happy it came. I booked a medical appointment just incase they request for it later

Congratulations.... you did the right thing. Your medical request may come before the date you booked... my friend also experienced same... Medical request later came the next day exactly 24hrs after PPR came so look out for it today too. Congratulations!!! I am next in line

Hello House, it's PPR for me ooo. It's actually less than 24hours I keyed into NSPPD prayer. May 14th Applicant. I'll send my timeline shortly

Capable God

Super Congratulations to my fellow NSPPDIAN... I will testify soon

Predator188:
Really..
I can only say by the date on the approval or refusal Notice given to the applicant because that was when the decision was made available to the applicant!

Anyhow either way because my family application is currently wedged on the same BVL last update by ircc even at 11 month of submittoon still counting .I have even utilised the delay to favor me somehow .
As if they knew that I have unfinished activities in my country of origin

Not true... there is PPR queue too

Predator188:
It is possible!! Bvl without any other follow up means decision is not yet available but decision is Next...

Bvl means decision has been made and is coming.

Trailblazer21:
Guys is it possible to get BVL without any other follow up message on approval or refusal?
Got a notification to check my application and it’s only BVL that is there, and application is still processing?

Omo IRCC

God has done it for you oh!!! Congratulations... i am next to testify

What God cannot do, does not exist!!!

AkeemTy:
I needed to put proper documentation and funds together that is why I submitted my application in June

I understand... God will do it soonest... Congratulations in advance

AkeemTy:
Brother don't blame me oh, na the school dey send me some kind messages that I must be in class on the day of resumption and IRCC never even look into my application. Eligibility and background check still under review. I did indicate on my application that I will leave for Canada on 14th August,2022

They have started working on your file since eligibility is on

AkeemTy:
Abeg who don receive their study permit approval for September intake?

My study permit application is taking forever and my school insist I must resume classes by 6th September 2022.

My study permit was submitted on 6th June 2022 and my biometric was completed on 17th June 2022.

Since then, no further update.

You didn’t submit on time so don’t say it’s taking forever. On the site it says 12weeks so don’t use forever. A lot of September resumption got approved since April and May even... na you no apply on time

Phorlly43:
Guys my friend PPR just drop o, how do we submit passport

Congratulations oh... i am next in line

chuksinfotech:
You really don't seem to understand what @Hafeez6948 was saying. If you do, you won't make this statement.

Just brief about my story

I started my studies online in September 2020 due to Covid-19 and in the same month applied for my Study Permit. I was denied the permit due to insufficiency of funds, but due to resilience continued my studies till date.

After putting together some funds and getting funding opportunities, I reapplied for the study permit the second time on the 30th of October, 2021 and since then I have not received any official feedback.

It is more than 8 months now, I have written to IRCC several times and it has always been the generic mail response. Last month I applied for Global Case Management System (GCMS) Notes and it states, "Based on the LOA, funds, and documents provided, PA appears to be a BF student."

Which means I am a bonafide Student, but till now I have not gotten my approval.


I have been praying, fasting, joining NSPPD prayer sessions, and enlisted pastors and colleagues to pray along with me for funding and approval. I have doubted God, broken, depressed, and at a point beer no dey even high me because prayers wasn't calming my mind down.

Nothing on this earth made any sense any longer. I was fighting everyone at work above all can you fight God?

I have still gone back to him, I am now 28 days into my fast and Saturday it would be nine (9) months since I reapplied for my Study permit.

So if it is about your faith in God IRCC would shake it, and make you doubt God. @Hafeez6948 is simply stating bitter truth. I had the option of heading to US and Australia even for PhD and I refused and choose Canada. See am nah, I am now going back and seeking for same admissions I ignored for the almighty Canada.

Omo you no go understand the feeling, we are all in this journey differently. I don't want to start stating the personal details of what I have lost cos I fixated my mind on Canada

Cheers and lets encourage one another on this journey it is not easy. The rich ones are not on nairaland nah calls them dey put

We have both sorted ourselves out and we understand each other. Thanks and please you can’t tell me about my faith in God... we all have our stories and you haven’t heard mine yet so don’t be too sure what you are facing is more than mine because i tell you... you can’t face what i am facing but i will only tell the story when my PPR comes.

It is my time and my turn( this mountain must be removed) what i am afraid of will not happen!! It is finally my time, it is finally my turn! Thus says the Lord...What God cannot do does not exist.

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

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 - 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

- Biometrics - MAY 12 ( Lagos)

- Upfront medicals done - MAY 9 ( didn't submit the information sheet with the application)

- Upfront medicals updated - JUNE 22 (after
sending the information sheet via webforms and emails to Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja, and London around mmid-June)

- Eligibility Started same JUNE 22

- PPR and BVL - JULY 27

Total duration of my application is therefore 10 WEEKS and 2 DAYS.

I'll come back to share the DOCUMENTS Submitted (They are not that much).

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!!! Congratulations... it is my time and my turn

Not my portion in Jesus name. �

What God can not do does not exist.

I have seen plenty applications where PPR was obtained within a month.

So it can happen and it WILL happen.

I’m glad you know so hold on to God and stop getting worried

junbi:

junbi:

GodwinBC:
Firstly, let me start by giving all thanks and glory to God almighty, because He is the one that has made this possible.

There’s a saying that “to whom much is given, much is expected”. I want to thank every single person on this thread. It is your contributions and information I gathered from here that I used to process my application myself. Also, this thread saved me from depression especially hafeez…anytime I feel depressed, I just read your posts and have a good laugh.

Dorisdili:
Hi everyone,

My study visa just got approved but I am not sure how to send my passport to VAC. Can someone please verify if VAC currently accept in-person submission or I have to send it via courier. If I am sending via courier which courier service is ideal to use, and what address do I put on the parcel.

Also, I did my biometric in Abuja VAC, is it mandatory to send my passport to the same VAC office I did my biometric or can I send to Lagos VAC?

I am asking because I would be flying from Lagos and it might be easier to just submit at Lagos VAC.

I appreciate if someone can help answer my questions. Thank you so much.

Congratulations... you need to share your timeline properly

CentennialGuy:
It is possible. I've seen it happened twice. See attached for the second time. This person got BVL, medical request and PPR on the same day. God was favouring this person but village people were after her. She didn't discover it until over a month later (Peep the date she saw and read the message compared to the date the messages dropped.)

How did the person resolve this? Seeing that 30 days had passed already

RothimyZ:
