Asekzz:
What is the advantage of upfront medicals? I submitted my application on the 12th of December.....do I need to do upfront medical or I wait for their reply? Pls I need advice...tnx

titade0203:
Compliment of the season to all,

I did my upfront medical on Dec 15, 2022 while I submitted my study permit application on Dec 29, 2022. I got an advice to go for biometrics that same Dec 29, 2022 which I have done today 5/1/23. My concern is that the upfront medical I did is yet to be updated on the portal till now, is there anything I need to do? I just want to be sure I am still on the right track. Your advice will go a long way to assist. Thanks

PPR Timeline and Documents

First Time Applicant
I give God the Glory for making this a reality. Truely, what God cannot do does not exist!

I would like to thank @Teeebabyyy, @Johnstan, @Thomysne @Jaykeh @Trailblazer21 @bullstriker @Joedave25 @lolathegenie and @Gigdraft @Yemilizzy for giving prompt response to my questions.

I submitted my application in July. I started visiting this platform after and I gained some wealth of knowledge.
My SOP was simple and straight to the point (2 pages with one extra page listing the documents I submitted).
I also had lump sum of 2M from my sponsor in my personal statement of account and also salary account which was a bonus from work. I did not explain the lump sums and when ever I see peoples' PPR story, I get anxious and the thought of explaining the lump sum and sending an updated SOP via webform always came to mind but I never did. To be sincere, after seeing some PPRs and documents submitted on this platform, I get worried about my application. I decided to relax and trust God to perfect it.
In August, I got a scholarship, sent it via webform but never got a response (aside generic response) until October. I also sent an email to the MP but they replied that the agents were busy with Russia applicants so they couldn't help.
2nd week in November, I sent a webform to ask for update on my application.
The following week, I forwarded email to Nairobi office.
The 4th week, I emailed Accra, Nairobi and London asking for update and also requesting them to expedite my application. That same week, I ordered my CBSA note. Lo and behold, I checked my portal a week after and saw that my eligibility had started. The following day, I received a medical request.

At a point, I sent myself my medical request, PPR and timeline. I saw someone here who did it and got encouraged to do it. The following day, I got my medical request.
Just to encourage those waiting and expecting. Please keep hope alive. It looked like a long wait and had no idea of when it will end but it finally ended in praise. So will it for the hopeful(s)

chithec:
If you want a school with a fast response, try Fanshawe college. You will get your offer before 1 or 2 weeks

Allboiz:
Guys, please I need your input...

I applied for a course at Cambrian for May 23 when it was showing Waitlisted. I thought I could be lucky but they replied with Program full after 2 weeks.

Now, I applied for the same course for Sept 23. It has been more than a month but I've not got a reply.

Should I still be patient, or do a fresh application, or apply to another college?

Have anyone realize Ircc have been kind of fast this week. Seem they attending to people accordingly because they started September this week and it has been uniformed now I think they are in early October giving out ppr to people who actually meet their requirement

GoodofNaija:
Congratulations!

How did you sign in to your account? I have not been able to sign in since yesterday.

OfodileB:
Wow!! GOD DID IT!!!

It’s PPR guys!

johnstan:
I'm not certain how this is done because I did not use a loan.
A lot of people here used mpower and other loan institutions so just ask generally and someone might respond.

chithec:
If they give you 20k you will be paying *2 of that amount
Which is 40 or even 42

Army2022:
Wow big congratulations to you.
Your testimony made me researched about mpower. I'm glad to know it's not as difficult as I thought it did be.
Please I have few questions for those who got mpower loan and those who have good knowledge about it.
1). Must I have IELTS or the likes of it before applying (asking because I don't have).

2). Can mpower loan me only my 2nd year tuition,because I've paid my first. (Used a 3rd party as my 2nd year sponsor, without proof of relationship... Just a family friend).

3). I saw 5% but don't really understand how it it works. To make the question easier e.g If they loan me 20k, how much in total am I supposed to pay back. (did like to pay everything back in less than a year).

I'm just preparing myself on how to repackage my application in case my application is refused based on roughly using a third party sponsor.
Although miracle fit happen, as miracle no dey taya Jesus
May God bless all of us and grant us our desired Canadian Study Visa/permit and afterwards, garnish it with PGWP Amen.
Cheers to more ppr's this December.

Olamidecanada:
Good day everyone, to those that have applied to Seneca college or are currently attending.
How much did the application fee cost you, how much was the deposit requested from you after getting accepted and also how long was the deadline you were given to pay the deposit fee.
I’d really appreciate if I can get a response please.

Perfectyyyyyy:
Back here!

When this new thread was opened on Sunday, I came here with heavy heart because my application was 8 months old and eligibility has not even started on my portal even as at today. I made the prophetic post below believing God of miracle and also responded to someone post by saying “I knees to say a Big Amen)
Amen

Today today 4th August PPR dropped without eligibility starting on the portal .

Application submitted 20th December
Biometric 26th December
Medical Passed. 4th January
PPR dropped. 4th August

The God who did mine. Would do that of everyone still waiting for PPR.

amila20042001:
Congratulations. I say a BIG AMEN to your prayers. My PPR is Here in JESUS NAME AMEN

mizchoco:
No. It covers both for living expenses for the 2yrs which is 20kcad as well as extra 4kcad plus the 44kcad for tuition = Total 68kcad.

while the 50kusd online conversation to cad is greater than the total amount (68kcad).

With this explanation, pls what's your advice @johnstan and everyone. Thanks again.

Fulani14:
Hello everyone, welcome,
I have been given admission to the university of Manitoba under the advanced direct entry program, which is a 3yr program. I have applied for Mpower financing before realizing that they only fund for 2yrs before graduation or masters.
Pls does anyone know if they fund undergraduates like in my case? They are asking me to provide some documents and all that! I just need guidance on this and what to expect
Pls its urgent...

omariam:

Your question is not drawing anyone back. Please keep asking all the questions you need to. People who have a bit idea will keep answering.

It is very feasible.

It is doable. Mpower Loan is a recognized proof of financial means by the IRCC but pls do not solely rely on Mpower.
You can go the extra mile by paying a tuition deposit if possible. (The idea is to try to prove you need only the Mpower loan for everything while letting the officers know you still have your own money to be very sure you won't have any financial difficulty)
Using ONLY Mpower makes it look like you have no money and it's risky for them.
Using only your funds (If not extra-sufficient) makes it look like "It's not a reasonable expense" meaning (Why should you spend all your 20m on education and nothing left)
Using only Mpower as POF is by mere chance/ extra Grace.

Your family can go altogether if you craft your SOP well. (and of course by God's Grace)
Tips to consider are stating that your wife and kids need emotional and physical support during their studies.
You need to help them settle during the transition period and ascertain their living condition. (I heard someone who said his kids will be changing schools and he needs to give them the push just as he did in their early school days in his home country.)

If you are applying for Visit Visa for yourself, you may include that you will be coming back to your pharmacy business. (That's enough home ties) You've had it for xxxx years and you can't fully entrust it in other hands for too long a period of time so you will be back yyyyyy date to continue.... while you are away, you have put in measures for accountability and continuity of your business.
Your business generates TTTTT average amount monthly in pure profit and (A percent) will be used to service your wife's living expenses.

You could add that your wife is an executive in your company, and you have committed to pay her a certain sum monthly even while on the study. It will strengthen POF.

A plus if you have CAC for your business, Tax documents, and Landed properties to strengthen your home ties.

Consider adding pictures together with your aged parents and parents-in-law for home ties.

For your wife, any association, church, mosque, or NGO she belongs to. (Secretary of Lagos Pharmacist... Chairman of LCDA... e.t.c) A letter-headed doc stating that your wife will be away for studies and her duties will be delegated to another member pending her return.

All the best of God in your application!
