ITS PPR GUYS.

I found out about F&R global from nairaland, he has been termed as the guru. I reached out to him and he responded swiftly to all my questions like he had known me before but I was still skeptical as per Nigerian agent and their numerous stories.

My Frank has been professional from start to finish, made everything seem less for me despite my incessant calls etc but he was calm although.

You always encouraged me despite knowing how scared I was because of my location and how it was going to work out. Always ready to answer my questions even if it’s in the midnight (always waking up to see your replies) @Frankrobbn1 You are truly God sent. Words can’t express how I feel, it has finally ended in praise.

I can’t thank you enough, you have made my 4 years Canada dream a reality. May Almighty God bless you ooo, more referrals trust me. You know your work.

Blessed451:
Don't give up or feel dejected.....na normal thing its only a delay.
You would need to address their concern which is your financial situation, try and improve/strengthen on that area. If you have personal asset like a car, land, business, job etc upload them in your next application if you dont have no worries, make sure you give them a good bank statement and/or a letter from your a sponsor with a good bank statement with an affidavit and bank reference letter. It will still end in praise las las

Financial status or Home ties please? Not leaving Canada is home ties. Financial status means you can’t afford your stay

Azedolf:
Canada just served me breakfast, application refused just now

It’s well... get ready and refire back. It will surely end in praise.

kelchy:
It's PPR!!!!!

I can't believe this, I am still in shock, what my God cannot do does not exist.

I began this journey in 2019 through the Express Entry Program then Covid happened in 2020 and everything just pressed stop. I was very frustrated and just gave up on the Canadian journey until last year when my best friend applied and got her Canadian Student Visa, it was just the push I needed to revive my Japa spirit.

November of 2021, I applied to Conestoga college and NBCC, on the 14th of December, Conestoga College gave me admission while NBCC waitlisted me. Immediately I contacted MAKANO to find out what my chances were because I am married and I wanted my uncle to act as my sponsor. He said if I packaged my documents well, I will definitely get an approval, his positivity gave me the courage to go ahead and pay my tuition deposit.

Then , we began the application process, MAKANO was super helpful and patient, always available to answer my sometimes stupid questions, he followed me through the application from the documents needed to my SOP development, final document review and application. I applied on the 7th of February, after which I did an upfront medical on the 1st of March, then the wait began.......

The wait is the worst thing ever, I find myself constantly checking my email and signing into my account, then MAKANO and my best friend advised that I should constantly send emails to IRCC which I did three times daily for over 2 weeks�. Last week I sent emails to all the MPs, I didn't get any concrete response from them then my best friend also messaged them last weekend from Canada. I was already getting very frustrated and sad,my husband and friends kept on encouraging me until when I saw the golden mail this afternoon, I just started crying, I cried for over 5 minutes, then I started to call my husband, family and friends.

good evening everyone.
I have received my PPR. I will like to know how to submit my passport?
Do I need to register and apply for visa on vfs global website before I submit my passport? Or do I just walk into the VFS office and drop the passport? DO I pay any amount?

Congratulations... share your timeline

jeezybuck:
My people its PPR, please give me some time. I will share timeline..

March 1 applicant.

Awwwwn... Congratulations oh! I’m next in line

Chukwuemekatehi:
And 2 days after, I got my PPR. What God cannot do does not exist. After 2 refusals, I got it on this third application. I am coming back with my testimony.

Congratulations oh... i am sooo happy... i also booked with you on Sunday.

possessor1:

Congratulations... this is good news. I am next in line

ShowYoung:
1. If you are tested positive of Syphilis.
2. If you are tested positive of HIV/AIDS.
3. If you are suspected of having Tuberculosis or history of it.

No3. can only delay because if they see any scar in your XRay, they'll send you additional medical examination request whether or not you have TB. This will require you to go for TB sputum and culture test. It'll take you 8 - 10 weeks to complete this if the result comes out negative, but if positive, you will be on another journey of 8 months to treat the TB.

There have been some who have treated TB since 20 years ago, the X-ray brought out the scar, Canada doesn't want to take any chance: IRCC had to subject them to additional medical examination. This means if you have had TB in the past, it's better to tell the doctor now so they can start the process of checking whether or not you still have TB.

I don’t think HIV is part of it because they get PPR too

Let me book space for my PPR news this week.. I will come back and reply to this comment.

Cairo? Abuja is faster than Lagos

nk20:
Good morning Nairaland Family. my application was submitted Since January, medical and biometric passed February, eligibility started March, since them no news only ghost mail.

I used a licensed agent. My concern is that he is not worried, keep telling me not to bother myself that I will get it, but I am worried honestly. I have deferred from January 2022 to May 2022 and again to September 2022, I don’t want to defer again.

My question is:-
(1) is it possible to send mail to IRCC without the agents knowing, he will think I am trying to go behind him and do his job if he finds out. I don’t want him to know(They are big agency, I no want any problems)

(2) what can I tell IRCC in my mail(please i need a sample)

Note: I have my application number and UCI number too.

What do you mean you don’t want any problem and they are big agency? Is it free work? Didn’t you pay for their services? See fear ontop your money. Better start sending mails and webforms oh because it’s not just you they are working for so they won’t have time to mail on your behalf. Ba you wear the shoe

Currency09:
, same here, brother which school did u apply ?

Memorial... I’m a Sister

Lilkalifaa:
please I have an issue. I want to continue my application but I can't see the continue button. What do I do? This is the new portal

Is it supposed to have a button or you just click on “study permit application”?

Bankkydarry:
Hello Good morning. I applied for my study visa in April and did my biometrics precisely on 6th May. It's been over two weeks now and they haven't gotten back to me. Is there anyway I can contact them or I should just for them to contact me. Thanks

Last year applicants are still here and you are complaining. Biometrics isn’t even up to a month../ we that did biometrics over 6 weeks ago

LANDING GIST

Good Afternoon my people.
I took the 8:05 am flight from Abuja to London, then London to Toronto using British Airways.

I arrived at the airport by 6 am, they didn't let my family in as usual so I proceeded to the check in desk on my own.
customs looked through my box of food and cleared me cos I had only dried food. At very step I was asked 'anything for us' but I only dropped in some places. One of my bags was overweight so I had to move things around before I was checked in. I chatted with the check in guys so they let my 23.6kg box fly without paying anything extra. Here they asked for arrive can and passport and I was given my boarding pass. I went back outside to cry and take pictures with my family before going back inside.

I went to customs and immigration after filing out the yellow card and they asked how much I'm carrying, I had less than 10k so no issues here. After getting cleared then I went to my boarding gate. We took off at exactly 8;05 am and an hour into the flight they gave us breakfast. It was nice, sausage, eggs, bacon, croissant and all. Then they also gave a sandwich, Juice and coffee later. The plane was very very very cold!! please carry a thick jacket and wear sneakers with thick socks and headworker if you get cold easily.

We landed in Heathrow at exactly 2:05 pm and had a 2 hour layover, before boarding here they asked for only passport and boarding pass. and we took off for the 7 hour flight to Toronto. They also served us two sets of snacks (pretzels and juice, then chicken sandwich and coffee) and dinner of mashed potatoes and chicken.

We landed by 12;37 Nigerian time but it was 7;37 pm here. Everywhere was bright and shining like 4pm lol.
I headed to arrivals, filled the declaration form and declared the foodstuff I was carrying before going to the customs desk. A handsome asian guy attended to me and asked what kind of agricultural produce I had, I told him spices and flour and he cleared me to head to Immigration.

At this point my heart was beating but I just kept calm, An imposing slavic guy attended to me and asked me for my acceptance letter and proof of tuition payment. He asked where I will be staying and how long my program is then he printed my study permit and coop work permit, stamped my passport and I was off.

Our baggage was unloaded already so I just located my boxes, put them on a trolley and went outside to order an uber. The weather was a bit warm since its spring, it only felt like low AC but I kept my jacket on. Headed to my airbnb and called my people.

I hope everyone gets to experience this and I am eternally grateful to this platform for giving me all the information I need to see my dream come true. To those waiting for PPR, it gets depressing and you almost want to give up but no matter how long it takes I believe its amazingly worth it.

Wow, so soon... lmao! You just got PPR last week... no dulling. All the best... we are coming

ShowYoung:
I wasn't talking to you. My post didn't refer to you in the first place. You don't own Nairaland.

You're the one jumping into a post that doesn't concern you.

You talk as if you own all the schools in Canada.

Again, your knowledge scope can't be more than you know.

Oga take a chill pill... any comment dropped here concerns everyone. You that responded... was the person speaking to you in particular?

ShowYoung:
You can't say more than you know.

Some colleges still offered admission for Fall 2022 this month. As a word of probability, perhaps they stopped yesterday or are stopping today, I put "if it's not late".

You don't necessarily have to wait till October to get admission for Fall next year in some colleges. Perhaps you are referring to colleges and universities that offer admission once per year. I took into consideration those that offer admission on rolling basis.

My school offers on a rolling basis, Fall, Winter and Spring. Don’t lecture me... Kindly list those schools that Fall 2022 admission is still open. Even Memorial will automatically move you to Winter.

A second ghost update today because i sent out mails this morning... the first was on the 9th of May.... God abeg oh just send the positive mail and it shall be received

amila20042001:
Thanks for your response.
The bank didn't give me any print out, only ticket no and password written on a sheet of paper.
Is this OK

Yes that is how it is

ShowYoung:
For Fall (Sept) 2022 intake, start now if it's not late
For Winter (Jan) 2023 intake, start now.
For Spring (May) 2023 intake, start submitting application for admission now, you can start visa application in December.
For Fall (Sept) 2023 intake, start admission application now, you can start visa application in March 2023.

Application for Fall next year opens October.
Fall this year is closed since March

zeza01:
[good morning , I just got a text from Qlife that my health cases have been submitted. Does that mean medical have been passed?

They have submitted your result... IRCC will access and pass you

oyedamilola:
It’s seems the visa processing time is now 11 weeks, saw this on IRCC website. Its was updated 20th of April last month, please guy check to see if this is correct, this may be the reason why people are getting a decision in few weeks.

Yes we are aware it’s 11 weeks but the decisions were made in 4weeks and some less... some slightly over too then some have been waiting since last year and no decision. On Monday we saw APRIL applicants get a decision so no one can say... I think it’s NSE

buckyfof:
No
Just ghost update, you will see something like "application profile /update"

I thought ghost update is when you get the update thing but nothing changes when you check? Eligibility update isn’t ghost because when you check, you see something has changed

Aitchugo:

BenedictStinson:
GT bank told me point blank that anything school fees is minimum of 30days. I have access bank as well they told me 4 weeks minimum. I enquired and people were recommending UBA so I personally visited the bank and they assured me that it would be completed. I opened the account there and then and transferred the money to fund it. Only to be met with frustration. So don't sit in your house and be assuming the process someone went through

Madam before you decide to showcase how rude you can be... try to understand someone and don’t be too fast... when i said process didn’t start on time... are you the one processing it or bank? So why sound all rude? Of course they didn’t start on time so stop trying to put it all on me... I’m not bank or your school... no be me dey do you
