Proof of Means of Financial Support (required)..
I have 3 different Statement of financial accounts I want to upload, mine and the details of my Sponsor. The problem here is that, I can only upload once. My question is, Can I combine both mine and my sponsor's details/Statement of financial accounts in one PDF file and upload? Or is there any other provision for it?

Thanks

Hope it’s MBS? And reference letters

Fendy34:
Amennn ... thank you so much

Seems the stopping is to refuel so nothing to worry about

miimssss:
Hi Charito,

Do you mean go to DHL and send it to VFS?
Or go to VFS and they’ll use DHL to send for stamping??

I am already in Abuja and I intend to submit in Abuja

Go to Dhl, dey will send to VFS… Yes i know you are in Abuja but I don’t think you can walk in and submit in person… So they will receive from DHL, Stamp and send back to DHL… Dhl will then deliver to the address you wrote down

miimssss:
Goodmorning NLs,

Please kindly assist with these….
I have a few questions:

1. do I need to book an appointment with VFS to submit my passport for stamping ? Or do I just go there with my documents and passport ?
2. I did my biometrics in Abuja and I will be submitting the passport here in Abj, is there any need to pay any fee ??
3. When it’s time for passport collection, is it pickup or delivery?


Thank you

Good morning,
You are to send it via DHL or UPS… Go to any of their offices close to you. No, you won’t need to pay anything to VFS and you also do not need an appointment. It’s a 2 way courier you will do and drop your house address. On a plain paper, you are to write your name, mail, number and house address for delivery… also attach a big brown envelope that can contain A4 paper in the package along side your passport and biometrics slip

Don’t worry… the next mail you will see will be a decision and it won’t pass tomorrow. Congratulations in advance

Sylvester4040:
Please everyone I have a question to ask and I'd really love if someone could reply me.
When I initially applied for my visa I submitted my loa with resumption date of September 6 (fall semester) but because my visa was delayed I had to defer to January.
I didn't notify ircc about this change.
But not that my visa has been approved will this be an issue for me?.
If it's going to be an issue, what do I do to prevent it?
Thank you very much, Please help a brother.

Send in your updated LOA to them

aclfemmy:
It feels good to be here to share my ppr testimony guys.

I do sincerely appreciate all the information and personal experiences shared on this thread. It has indeed helped quite a lot of people among whom, I'm a prime and bonafide beneficiary. I couldn't have done less by not holding from the forum in which I have profited immensely.

I shall be sharing my experience and timeline for my 2 applications which herald this success I've just achieved today.

My epistle may be quite long but I shall endeavour to break it in such a way that it won't bore you.

First and foremost, I will like us to imbibe the culture of reading especially of something that is quite edifying like the info on this nairaland Canada study permit. It's a fountain and repository of knowledge. If you get yourself busy with it prior to your application, you may not need to ask questions or seek assistance from any gurus.

Enough said about the preamble and now, back to the basis.

I'm 41 years of age. The journey to Canada started for me in 2021; precisely, in October. But I have no idea about the know-how. I, therefore, typed the travelling to Canada on google and I landed in nairaland, precisely thread 18 thru 19. Believe me, I read the entire thread which I started from Oct till around November.

After reading the 2 threads; 18 and 19, I became very adept at the whole process both school admission and study permit application. Needless to say, I also read other info that's related to Canadian stuff that cut across immigration both temporary and permanent residency permits.

Having been armed with the acquired info, I applied for a mission at MUN for both Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA) and MBA but the GDBA admission came out with a speed of light in less than 2 weeks. I applied for admission in December and was offered admission the same December before the closed of the semester. I waited a little bit for the MBA admission but it didn't come on time. I have to go ahead and apply for the study permit with the GDBA LOA on March 1st, 2022. This is my first application

* Refusal notice 05/05/2022.

Refusal reasons were the purpose of visit and travel history.

My academic background in accounting and finance both HND at Yabatech (2002) and B.A (Hons) at University of Sunderland Uk (2014). I have been to the UK at least once and I have also had prior UK visa refusal which I disclosed. I have been working for the past fifteen years across multiple accounting and finance designation

The refusal decision heartbroken me so much that I least expected it. I therefore hurriedly reach out to some guys who are on nairaland through their private emails. Out of the whole lots I contacted, Makano was the first to contact me and he gave me his bill which I don't mind paying thinking that the application will be done instantly and I will get approval. But that wasn't the case. Honestly, those a who got refusal and were able to announce it on the platform here were quite lucky as they got apt advice which was what they need to re-fire. In my case, the refusal overwhelmed me and I didn't. If I have done, the decision to engage the Makano wouldn't have arisen. By and large, he did a great job!

He did advise I should apply for the notes which he did on my behalf at a fee. I applied for the note on the 6th of May 2022 and it came out on the 2nd of June 2022.

There in the note, the visa officer misdirected himself, obviously and erroneously, under his reasoning for my purpose of visit that my purpose was of visit was unreasonable as I have current qualifications that's way higher than the intended course of study in Canada. And for my travel history, he said he my travel history or lack of it won't count in his assessment of my eligibility and for that reason he's refusing my application.

Come June 22nd 2022, I reapplied with the same set of docs. I only added LOE (3 pages). There in the LOE I explained the errors and misgivings of the VO with verifiable evidences which links pasted therein. I further got in touch with my faculty advisor about the development. He in turn got in touch on my behalf to the associate Deen of faculty to get a letter clarifying that the intended course of study is way higher than the current qualification I have and that I'm eminently qualify for the choice course of study.

I attached this additional documents to the same docs in my first application and I refire thru ircc portal (the new portal). The gckey portal locked me out due to network glitch otherwise it's the gckey I would have use again.

sunkymatete:

I know how this feels.. the wait is unbearable but i pray it ends soon and in praise. is this really your account? Or an agent is handling your application? Eligibility is yet to start since March. Did you do medicals upfront?

Belxsz:
April 4th applicant here. Bvl since September 9th then radio silence

See my people oh… PPR will come… don’t worry.

olokings:
So this journey ds started with an intent in 2021 to acquire a dual citizen future for my kids visa study route since Express Entry was no longer feasible.

Did tons of research, mostly for info from Nairaland here.

Applied for study permit for Family of 5 (we are 6, as 1 child is a US citizen, we wanted to birth the last one in Canada as wifey had applied and gotten visitor visa in Jan 2020 but was unable to travel because of covid. We tried to birth her in the US but they denied us, thanks to Trump).

So we applied for visa (SP for me and 2 kids, VV for 1 kid, SOWP for wifey) precisely April 30th for the whole fam. Did upfront medicals. 5 days after submission, I began bombing Nairobi office emails with request to update medicals. Medicals were updated on 18th May.

6 weeks after application I started bombarding Nairobi office on status update, applied for gcms notes (it never came out till today), applied for status update thru MP who reverted that our well phonology was under review, although nothing was showing in portal.

I continued with emails firing, updating it every week, sending every Monday and Friday 3 emails per day. Praying them to consider my application on the need to get decision on time to finalize plans for family travel.

Charitojames, 2pretty4u were my goto posts for encouragement.

PPR came for all of us at once on 24 Aug.

Stamped passports on 1st Sept.

Tried to defer till January 2023 but school refused. So I had to quickly buy ticket for myself to ga'an resume. While I will return to pick family after Xmas.

Ethiopian airline departure was 19th Sept. Arrived Abuja Airport, Africa just ask N1500 mk I carry my big bag of foods dey go..I kukuma give an a I no want long talk.

Paid excess luggage about N88k (walahi, I pack foods no be small.. made a checklist from una plenty submissions here... I only saw indomie chicken, I kukuma but 2 cartons brave am like that). Wrapped my bag at the airlift before check in.

Carried hands luggage and extra back pack.
PS: weda or not you are paying excess luggage, your bag cannot exceed 32k..... so know how to sort your things amongst different baah not to exceed 32kg per bag... I sweat like easter ghost while doing this because I have to be weighing the bag after every item removed or added.

Flight route: Abuja - Addiss Ababa (5hrs), had a 2 hr layover that felt like 30 minutes.... Addis Ababa- Dublin (8.5hrs)... speed for refueling, we didn't disembark the aircraft..... another long one Dublin - Toronto (6.5hrs)... I ate during the Abuja-addis flight, n only had dessert for the Addiss-Dublin. I like to travel light so that local man no go tell pilot say make e Park mid air make I enter Bush go do Number 2..... I am choosy like that.. lol


arrived Toronto 8am, did Self declaration, went to immigration, they only asked for LOI, and asked us all student to sitdon. 10 minutes later. They came out with printed study permit. Ushered me to a counter, Arab guy say, give me your study permit and passport, stamped me in. Finito.

Went to baggage claim, picked up my bags, went to drop off with connecting flight Air Canada to Moncton which doesn't take off for another 4 hrs.. omo make I dey waka about dey look.

Na so we see an.. already missing my fam, but no qualms.. if they miss me too much, mk they buy ticket come as visa dey dia pocket.


Like this, so, maple land don carry extra talent.... mk I go update my cv, attack them.. hehehe

Congratulations oh, I can’t wait to share mine too

God has done it o


PPR is here !!!!

I’m driving . Would be back for more details.

Super thankful for all those that helped me on this journey.
I’m so grateful .

I noticed it’s still showing we’ll let you know once a final decision has been made under “final decision “

Would this be updated later to approved or what?

Congratulations sis oh… ah! I am sooo happy… been waiting for this PPR since BVL dropped. I said I’d still check on you again to know if it has dropped. Abeg sofry dey drive oh

Nadingo:
Would you have died if you'd just provided the answer without mocking him?

Not everyone is rigid. He has a good sense of humor and that’s how his comments goes. Check his reply and understand why i said that and I wasn’t mocking so but I don’t expect you to understand that. You need to be happy with yourself so you can understand humor. Thanks

Let me go do my manicure and pedicure because i need my nails to be beautifully done before IRCC will give me this ring i am about to wear now… I can’t type my PPR gist with unkept nails.
Have a lovely day
