Tegnaworld23:
Thank you sir, my school and course is not eligible for pgwg. Do you my family will be eligible for the sowp? Pls I just need better understsnding in this regards. Thabk you all.

Pls guys what are the documents to be submitted to VFS and what are the fees please. CAn someone pls reply

kdfemi:
Did you get acknowledgment Mail from VFS when the Courier service delivered it to VFS ?

Jehova overdo has done it again. My hubbys SOWP has dropped o. To God be all the glory

TradeSunMoore:
8 week. But 8 -10 weeks is what the SOP stipulates. The sputum culture was negative. Because idea of a second X ray is just to confirm the negative sputum. Tthere will have been no need for a final confirmatory x ray (2nd Xray) if there was growth. She did one on the day of the medical as expected and the 2nd 30days after sputum. But on that day she did it twice as the initial one was not clear. The clinic will not give any result, I had the contact of a staff , that I was calling for update. All thing being equal the medical will be updated soon. Some systems/staff are just more efficient than others

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your response.

Hi Biola,

Yes i am in Canada, this platform played a major role in my journey. The fact that people dont have jobs doesnt mean that everyone's destiny is the same. I got a job that pays all my bills about 2 months after i came in. Well i'm in Ontario but not in Toronto, i hear Toronto is one the most expensive places to live. No matter how you look at it, prospects are much more here than back home. I mean for anyone who really wants to relocate.

Even people that relocate with PR face challenges but overall, i will neva discourage anyone from coming to Canada. Yes, come with as much money as you can because settling down initailly isnt easy but others have done it. Most importantly, i believe so much in the God factor. If God is with you on this relocation journey, you will never be stranded.

Did u really expect me to tell people, don't come o, here is hard. Hmmm. I cant say that o.

Nbv1:
Are you in canada and where are you and what’s your status? Stop advising people here if you don’t live in canada. I live here in Toronto with a full time job. This place is not for the poor. I insist, if you fail to plan before coming here you will suffer. The students here are going through a lot and also people with PR. Anyone coming here should come in with a lot of money. Jobs are not easy to get here as well. The bills are also much here. Recent data released in Vancouver this week shows residence in Vancouver spend half of their annual earnings on rent and utilities . Plan before Comin here please. It’s tough here and this is no joke. Those who are already established in nigeria , canada is not for them. The stupidly rich people are the only ones that enjoy living here.

TradeSunMoore:
My daughter had similar issue but with IOM. First you have to call the clinic for the outcome of the sputum test. I guess it will be negative. The IRCC SOP states a final X -ray 30 days after the negative sputum culture. So during the call you agree a date for the final X ray. We did not have to book, was told to walk in. After the X-ray, IRCC updated medical to pass same day on the portal, before we got home!

Thanks so much TradeSunMoore. He has gone for a 2nd xray. He didnt book. He just walked and did the Xray, that was done over a week ago but we havent recvd any result of the sputum test. They said sputum test takes 10weeks to come out. Please how long did your daughters sputum test take before it was released.

They are giving us any info, either sputum test or 2nd xray. Please how many Xrays did your daughter do. My hubby has done two

Bobomaigida:
He can visit them to check if the results are out or give them a call.

Thanks Bro, he has called the clinic, same response.

I really dont know how they operate, will they send the report to the Embassy immediately. We just wanted to know the result of his test

Guys pls i have question. Dont know how to handle this issue. My hubby was asked to do sputum test and additional xray by Qlife VI. They said result will be out in 10 weeks. This week is the 10th week but they havent said anything about the result. They just said they will contact him when result is out. Please who do u think we should do about that.

I will really appreciate a response.

Hi Everyone,

Been aging. Having been on this thread. Please guys dont give up with your student visa pursuit. Canada is worth it. Dont listen to any negative vibes about Canada, Its so worth it

Hello Guys,

Please for those who applied for open study permit for a minor(accompanying child) ,will the child receive a letter of introduction. I noticed that IRCC has sent my daughters passport back to VFS but i havent recvd any letter of introduction in her mail.

Pls respond.

Hello Ngozi,

When did u apply for your daughter. I suggest you bombard them with mails. I changed the subject of the mail which i sent weekly for my daughters application to : URGENT: VERY URGENT MINORS OPEN STUDY PERMIT JULY 27th APPLICATION.

Then in the body of the mail i told them that if her application isnt finalised this week she wont be able to travel with me. In addition to send to Accra, Beiging,Ganzu i sent to newyork and sydney.

Pls try this while praying seriously that it will work.

NGOZIGLORI:
Nothing yet ooo. But we are optimistic that God will come through for her. It will surely end in praise

quote author=olujinmisamson1 post=119014523]Good morning, how far about your daughter's application?

UPS said they will deliver to VFS abuja tomorrow.

Jaykeh:
I don't think it should be a problem, have you received an acknowledgement email from VFS?

Please i didnt pay for the VFS courier o. Just sent my daughters envelope yesterday through UPS, i paid for two way mail. I hope this wont be a problem for me

Jaykeh:
Exact same image that was sent to me. I wonder why I haven't received the email yet.

Guys pls what should i fill in this from/to -----------. i dont really understand what to fill there. Pls help

Thanks a bunch. You guys here are wonderful

Thomsyne:
He did one way courier to Lagos.
If you wanna do to Abj, see attached. I’m guessing you did biometrics in Lagos so you’ll pay 9930 and 990.

However, this one people are saying DHL doesn’t do two-way anymore, I’m not sure what the other options are.

Hello Johnstan, pls did u send your PP to Abuja, what fees did u pay pls. Biko i need the info ASAP.

johnstan:
Lol Big congratulations. You won't forget 2022 in a hurry

i sent to lagos, abuja,accra,sydney,newyork,london,nairobi, ganzu,beiging (about two or 3 nairobi addresses which somone paste here).

I captured the subject of the mail URGENT: VERY URGENT MINORS OPEN STUDY PERMIT JULY 27TH APPLICANT. Then i made them understand in the body of the mail that is the PPR isnt released in a few days it will be too late. Most importantly, i backed it with prayers.

Yes i was sending 2 webforms daily to nairobi,ganzu,london and beiging

CindyByFine:
Congratulations to you and your family.

Please which of their emails were you sending mails to?

Did you also send webforms?

My brother's school needs his Study Permit Application Status latest December 13th or his admission will be forfeited or deferred to September 2023 but that decision is solely dependent on them.

Please assist.

Guys its PPR for my daughter o. Prrrrrrraissssssseeeeeeeeeee the LORD o. Honestly, God is too much. I bombarded them with over 100 mails today. I read here where someone said he sent mails every 30 mins, I was sending them mails o every 30 mins. Please join me and praise this God o. I'm so so happy. I already bought her flight ticket since August by faith. I applied since 27th July 2022

On NSPPD today, Pastor Jerry said you will receive that approval today and i claimed it. I kept confessing that since morning

As an experienced banker i can categorically tell u that someone asking u to sign your signature on a sheet of paper and send to him can never be a good sign. That is definitely a red flag. Please enquire to know what it will be used for, if i were u i wont send my signature to anyone. Always ensure to read properly any document u want to append your signature on, else whatever comes out of it, u will be fully liable.

Thomsyne:
It can be anything. Good or bad or nothing.

It could be PFL, GCMS notes application, consent form signing (although I doubt this) or PM asking to sign ATIP.

He should just ask the agent whatsup

I'm also waiting for my daughters PPR, applied for her 27th July 2022. since then nothing. What should we do abeg. I'm travelling in about 2 weeks. no time again.

HazeeyzaH:

You must not use DHL to send your passport. I used UPS to send mine. You can also use Fedex, any of these international courier companies are the same in operation.

johnstan:
A few pages back someone said they were notified by DHL that 2 way service was no longer obtainable.

VFS have their courier delivery service and I'm sure you will be notified once it is available for pickup

Wow, this is speed of light approval. Congrats. May the land of Canada favour u in Jesus name.

Peterobey:
It's PPR guys.

First time applicant. All the information I sourced was from this thread. I am coming bank to drop my full timeline.

August 4th applicant - I did everything myself.

In the meantime, how long does it take for passport to be returned after submission. I really need to get my stamped passport in less than a week.

Seems like a good reason to want to transit to IT, also the fact that IT professionals in naija are well sought after and so many jobs are waiting for them.

Put it in your own words though. Wish u all the best

Ishola2002:
Pls can I explain to the visa officer in my SOP that it is because of the rise in my country's need of I.T professional that wants me switch career back to I.T? Pls is that a tangible reason?

Congrats, may the land of Canada favour u and your family in Jesus name.

DOCUMENTS UPLOADED (other than IMM forms)
For the various sections where we are required to upload documents on the IRCC portal (e.g. LOA, Marriage License), I started with an Introduction, followed by Table of Contents.
The Table of Contents have hyperlinks to the respective documents attached. I also included hyperlinks to take the VO from the attached documents back to the Table of Contents.

Please note, some of the documents I attached are unnecessary e.g. COVID-19 vaccination card.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
• Letter of Acceptance.
• IELTS result.
• Academic and Professional certificates.
• Academic Transcript.
• WES evaluation report.
• NYSC certificate.
• Evidence of Previous investments which had been liquidated (Education Plan for me and the kids, Shares that have been sold, Monthly Savings Plan with an Insurance Company, Investments with some Investment Firms). I stated that the proceeds were invested in other ventures and form a bedrock of funds being used for my studies in Canada.

PASSPORT
• Bio-data page of International Passport
• Affidavit (in lieu of birth certificate)
• Drivers' license.
• NIN slip.
• Updated CV (Nigerian style).
• Staff ID Card.
• Letter of Introduction from my employer.
• Study leave approval from my employer.
• Introduction letter from my local Church.
• Letter of Ordination from my Church.

MARRIAGE LICENSE/CERTIFICATE
• Marriage Certificates (Church and Court).
• Name change publication for spouse.
• Birth certificates for the kids.
• Over 50 pictures (during courtship, during wedding, during the christening of our kids, pictures with spouse at a volunteering event, family photographs). I cropped the pictures and put an average of 3 pictures on each page. Also, I sequenced the pictures such that they tell our family story from inception.

CLIENT INFORMATION
Here, I included a background that the property owned by my spouse would be included under her application for OWP. Then, included a Table of contents and attached the following documents, which could not be added in other sections due to file size constraint.
• Land Documents (Receipts, Sales Contract, Deed of Assignment, Survey, Advert showing an increase in the price of the land)
• Documents for 2 cars.
• Mum's International passport. (I showed her visa page and some travel stamps, since me I no get travel history).
• Affidavit/Birth certificates for some of my siblings.
• CSCS Statements for Stock/shares inherited from my late dad who died over 20 years ago. (The shares are still in my dad’s name. I explained that my family intends to obtain a Letter of Administration and these shares will be captured therein).
• My picture with my CEO and an EXCO member at an official outing.
• Training Certificates.

PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT
• SOP (9 pages). I tried to reduce it but my story long.
• Documents relating to the Payment of 50% initial deposit ($17,900 CAD).
• Documents relating to my current employment (employment letter, confirmation, promotion and 4 months’ Pay slips).
• Evidence of Available/Dedicated Fund:

I provided Explanatory Notes on 3 bank accounts.
1. My salary account (where I deposited our naira POF)
2. My USD account (where we deposited our dollar POF)
3. My spouse’s salary account (Here, I just stated that this is her salary account).

Under each of the account, I explained salient points such as lump sums that I wanted the VO to be aware of and included relevant support documents e.g. bonus letter from my employer.
For my naira account and my wife’s salary account, I provided bank statements for exactly 4 months but for the USD account, I provided statement for 1 year because it was just a 2-page document and I wanted to convince the VO that the account was legit even though I had only a few transactions on it.

Asides these, I included an addendum account which belongs to my spouse.
We created and liquidated several Fixed Deposit investments in that account and sizable part of our POF came from this addendum account.
Asides the bank Reference letter, I also included the account statement because I felt it would better convince the VO. The account had a rather unusually high transaction volume in 4 months and a balance of just N500k.
I carefully explained the meaning of some terminologies used on the account statement too e.g. FD booking.

• Letter of Introduction from my Pension Fund Administrator.
• Investment Certificate and account statement from an investment company for an existing investment (the letter clearly states that my wife and I have an unrestricted access to the funds).
• Deed of Partition and evidence of rental income on the property inherited from my late date


I included several hyperlinks on my SOP, my wife’s SOP and the cover letters for the kids. For instance, where I mentioned key words such as “Institute of Chartered Accountants”, Pension Reforms Act, 2014 etc., I ensured that they were modified to be hyperlinks, which would take the VO to the respective websites. I did this so it is easy for the VO for confirm the various terminologies/claims/entities independently.

My spouse and I have no travel history. Therefore, I stated in my SOP that we have been saving consciously towards my studies overseas, so we denied ourselves several luxuries such as travelling on vacations.

Just to mention, asides the funds that were available in bank and investment accounts, I stated that I would be saving specific amount towards my masters program from my subsequent salaries and 13th month allowance.
And that in the period, my family will depend on my wife’s salary and the balance from my own salary (I had previously established the fact that my wife and I save and invest together. Moreover, all my salary and allowances go straight into her account based on my bank statement history).

I used the same account for my 2nd application. I don't think there's any need using different accounts. Its better to have all your IRCC records in one account. That's my thought though.

Ladyj143:
Good morning fam,
I want to confirm as I want to reapply, can I use same account or am to create a new account? I want to start adding my duc before the CBSA notes comes out then edit.
I need advice on this, I read animal science BAgric
I finished my nysc since 2010 and 2011 I got job with a bank till date.
My question now
In my SOP I explained my passion for agriculture, I got the admission to study animal science technology which I stated that I want to come back to my home country to practice artificial insemination, cross breeding animals especially having mixed with exotic breeds. However even with my job I still rear animals as of when I wrote my SOP I have 15 cattle under the care of the fulani I stated but didn't add the pix, d cattle are 19 now, 4 have given birth and have small poultry at home, but I didn't register my business.
With this if I rewrite my SOP and add pix will it surface?
Secondly a friend told me I don't need to touch my SOP that may be there's something I didn't get well while filling my form, cos of the response
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT TO CANADA IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A TEMPORARY STAY GIVEN THE DETAILS YOU HAVE PROVIDED IN YOUR APPLICATION. Please gurus advise I just want to start something before the notes comes.

Thank you
