What DLI are you heading to?

Seems decisions have slowed down. Or guys are not sharing anymore?

I got my GCMS last week and I am tempted to request for another. The one I received was generated since June 23 and it got to me on July 23. Though I applied since June 3. My application is over 5months now(February 19). Still waiting after several webform and medical update on July 5. I got a mail from the school yesterday saying they have excess enrollees for fall semester and I need to confirm if I have been given my visa and will be available for orientation on September 9 on or before August 6 to be assured of my spot. Note I have already deferred from May to September and their body language is tilting towards not approving any more deferral.

The only thing I haven't done is write an MP because I can't seems to get his email address online. The MP is for Winnipeg South Terry Duguid Incase anyone can help find it.

This wait is tiring honestly and one can't even look elsewhere because of this limbo. It will end praise sha as Nairalanders always say

What happens if I can't find the biometric slip? I did my biometric since 2018 and I can't locate any documents for that application.
PPR still expected though just preparing ahead in faith.

Teenie19:

Congratulations sis!!!! Just what we have been waiting for. I am next ooo by God's grace. February 19 applicant

Teenie19:
Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories !

Congratulations!!!

shupy:
Omo!!!

You people said it and it happened o!!!

Teenie19:

Thank you. Does the note point to any other thing please?

shupy:

You have everything covered. All the best

Congratulations!!!

CHIKACIC:
It has ended in praises!

PPR dropped this evening.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!

Hello Nairalanders. Trust we are all doing great. After waiting for over 7weeks my GCMS finally came in today and I have attached screenshots for the gurus to help interpret. I noticed my deferred admission letter sent via webform is not updated. I also didn't see an update of my medical though it has been updated to pass on my profile. I see the information sharing is still in progress which is a surprise as my application was submitted since February. I intend to send them business registration documents again as we have submitted at the initial date and some current jobs my spouse is handling via webform tomorrow. Please let me know if there's anything I should add. Thanks in advance.

I did already since June 3. I believe I should get it any moment now. My eligibility started around June 7 though so hopefully I get to see something in it. I plan to order CBSA later today or tomorrow.

Omankem8:

Order for your gcms notes. Incase there's anything the visa officer may be concerned about. So you can tackle it immediately

Good day fellow Canadians. I did my upfront medical at IOM on June 29 and got a call from IOM on Friday 2nd July that I passed. I just logged in now and saw that my medical has been updated to pass. Praying for the PPR to drop soon. February applicant normal route.

Best of luck to all of us still waiting for PPR.

Hello guys. This is an advise for anyone going to do medicals at IOM Abuja or Lagos at the moment plan to spend the whole day. It's a crazy house there. I was there today (Abuja) for a 9am appointment and I didn't leave that place till past 4pm. Their claim was it's peak period for UK applicants and they brought forward people's appointments from August and September so they could meet their resumption deadline.

That's for MBS. I am referring to the normal bank statement. No bank tells anyone people's balances except for regulatory and fraud purposes. Trust me I know. The banks has the obligation to say whether the statement is genuine or not. Reason why mybankstatement was introduced was to allow applicants grant then access to verify the account rather than the usual statement where current balance cannot be know. This is not to encourage fake statement as the bank will definitely respond the statement is fake if it is.

Omankem8:


You're very wrong, with the password, they can access the bank statement and see all transactions including the sitting balance as at when it was submitted. DO NOT SUBMIT FAKE BANK STATEMENTS OH!

They can only confirm genuineness of the statement they cannot ask and be told the balance of the account. It's against bankers oat of secrecy.

Erica661:
thank you so much for your fast and helpful reply. I moved the money in the SOA I used for my application and I just heard that the VO contacts the bank to check how much I have in my account so I needed to clarify

I will check and revert..

Freebands01:

Congratulations again!!!

LadyBlaq:
Thank you. One year PGC in Insurance mgt. Ontario... AMEN

Please someone should help with the CBSA link. Thanks.

Congratulations!! I am Manitoba bound. Just waiting for this PPR. February applicant. I have my medical appointment for June 28 hopefully it will speed things up once submitted.

Mofpearl:

LadyBlaq:
You all are the real MVPs. Lekiboe, Frank, Anon, Uzomachukwu, Baphil, Lianna, Shuppy, my darling Sis Bisola, infact, all of you, God will continue to bless you all. Special shout out to Oga Seun for creating this impactful forum, i am happy to have known this great family...

So, Australia was my first choice because i couldn't dare try Canada, I had heard of their strict study visa assessments. I spent a lot of money with different agents as most schools in Australia would never deal directly with students. I finally settled with a school in NSW and boom, Corona happened and their borders have been closed since then.

I had no choice but to try the almighty Canada and trust me, my anxiety and preconceived fear of their stringent rules got a better part of me because, my application was messssssyyyyyyyyy!!!!

1) After submitting my app, i read on here that i shouldn't have done a money gift deed, especially when the gift-er isn't related to me, moreover, some folks said they haven't seen any study visa getting approved with a money gift deed by a gift-er who isn't part of the family. Guess what! they were right because my application would be the first they'd see. I am self sponsored applicant and the bulk of my fund was gifted by my late father's friend. Even though we don't share the same blood and name, we had something more than that, we had the commitment and bond. So i had him do a money gift deed(10m), which he paid into my account in bulk, sometime in February. I dug up old pictures of himself and late father, old pictures of himself and myself when i was younger, letter he wrote to me in place of popsy during my graduation in 2013, financial statement histories between myself, momsy and him, from different banks and as old as 2014. I also had him write a support letter and explain why he had to make such commitments, using his Company's letter headed paper.

2) In the bid to achieve the much needed mb capacity, i had shredded lots of documents off my application and eventually ended up tampering with my transcript. I reported myself here on Nairaland, hoping to get some hope or outright condemnation. Lol, i was told to resend the transcript and beg them not to misunderstand my intention, and then hope for the best outcome. Uzomachukwu, on the contrary, opined to be concise and not beg for their mercy as though i have done something "hideous". Eventually, she helped my with a well structured mail and i sent it to IRCC via webform. Baphil also reached out and re-compressed my files, she produced a much clearer file even with the additional missing pages. I don't know how she did it but i was wowed and i sent my files afresh via email.

3) Not a single ghost update till this morning. From what i read here, i guess i didn't really get any ghost update since my status remained "submitted", until this morning when i saw "your status updated". At a point i was praying for any kind of update, lollllllll.

One month and few days after my application, i requested for my GCM notes on 24th May, it came in yesterday, 23rd June. I hoped to tackle any negative feedback via webform but i was disappointed as i couldn't understand anything there and it seemed empty. Nairalanders said otherwise and i should brace myself for a positive feedback, Anon also assured me that a positive decision was coming soon since it was noted at the tail end of the notes, IRCC called my school to re-affirm the validity of my LOA. Even with all these, i remained skeptical, a little pessimistic and a little hopeful

This morning, as i logged in as per my usual ritual, I saw correspondence letter and PPR request sitting pretty on my page long before a mail dropped.
My application was tacky at best, i couldn't pray to save myself, i guess the prayers and good wishes of everyone and my family&friends made a way for me to be found worthy. I pray for this uncommon Grace for all PPR hopefuls, together we will all celebrate.

Application and confirmation was done on 17th April, with complete NSE docs (RLWS-7,7.5,7,7.5)
Biometrics Request on 18th April
IELTS Request letter, i resubmitted my IELTS
Did my upfront medicals together with my biometrics on 29th and 28th of April.
Medicals updated to pass on 28th of may after sending mails to Lagos
First Gcmnotes requested on 24th May, it arrived on 23rd June
Second Gcmnotes requested on 21st June...
Correspondence L and PPR request on 24th June.

Congratulations!!!

Shea pe meself go write this long message one day. Alihamdulilah.

Ok. I just booked upfront medical for the 28th. Just hoping the medical request comes before then. This wait is not funny. I am a February applicant.

Stephblues:


I did upfront after getting NSE request.

Was it requested or upfront?

Stephblues:


Wow, congratulations. I can only imagine how it feels. I saw my medicals updated to passed and my stomach is sweet like this, imagine when I finally get PPR. I tap into your blessings.

No PPR news yet today?

Cfine2021:


2021 Fall. Have already applied for study permit with University of Winnipeg Admission letter

We should connect I am Manitoba bound too

shupy:

Yes, you can. Just attach a short LOE with the documents and upload using the webform.

Please what does LOE and BVL mean?

owee:
Any April applicants in the house? I guess we should be hopeful for favorable outcomes this week.

I am a February 19 applicant and nothing yet. You can be hopeful though if you took the NSE route.

Callioge:
Hello all I got my decision yesterday.please gurus frank,just mellow,lekiboe, and everyone I need your inputs and suggestions as am emotionally and physically drained. My eligibility and medicals were never updated.
Reason for denial purpose of visit and travel history.

Sorry about the refusal. Share more details about your application so the gurus can help. Information like proposed course of study and your previous degree/work experience. Funding source and others

No I didn't. I just saw it on my profile. Plus the bank officer told me they sent statements and references for confirmation of genuineness. Amen o the anxiety is getting too much.

Thaiy:

You got a mail from IRCC?

It will end in praise

Now I get it. My status still shows submitted even though eligibility has started. Fingers crossed for good news soon.

Ketima:


Don't know oo. It just appears near check full application. See attached screenshot. So seeing that and checking, still nothing was updated. I asked and was told is the ghost update.

How/where do you see that please?

Ketima:


Nothing was updated. Saw application/file updated like 30mins ago, but nothing was updated. This the 2 time this week.
