It is boldly written on their website.
chithec:
This is not correct
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 1:54am On May 13, 2023
Not at all.
They are no longer accepting even for January 2024 intake.

victorVIC1:
Please is it still possible to apply for September intake as their school fee is quite affordable?

My cousin used his passport number as he couldn't remember his NIN.

His passport submission is tomorrow. He went there today but was told to book an appointment for passport submission and he did.

Will be going in tomorrow. Can't wait to see his stamped passport.
RafiatD:

Not sure.
My brother's Friend got his PPR in 20days from submission.
nnamdi346:
Abeg eh, this is week 8 of my visa application. Can a co-op permit processing delay the processing study permit?

I was told via email that my application is under review but my IRCC dashboard says vaguely "application in progress"

My cousin rescheduled his Medicals from today to 10th May by chance as it was remaining 1 slot according to them and they mentioned that they had space for 16th, 17th and 18th May.

Okenwanyi16:
Goodday people. Please a friend got medical request and decided to book for the earliest date possible with IOM. After booking, appointment details was not sent. On getting to their office in Abuja, they said he has to book 2 weeks prior. Please is there anything that can be done to do the Medicals earlier than the two weeks and also since when did that become a policy . Thank you guys.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 3:03pm On May 05, 2023
I think you would have to redo it this time choosing the naira bank transfer.

Just follow the instructions on the site, fill in your details and all....when you click on the make payment button in the last snapshot, it will load a page that has a Bank name: 9payment Service Bank
With a unique Account number
Reference number
And you just copy info and do a transfer from your Nigerian Bank account.

Heritagebib:
Thank you for your response.
Pls explain more on how I can do NORMAL BANK TRANSFER to flywire.
I already printed the naira conversation for my first semester tuition on flywire website, I have the reference number too....
So, what's d next thing to do?

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 1:33pm On May 05, 2023
Flywire allows you to do Normal Bank Transfers na or use your normal naira debit card.

And yes, I have used both options for two of my cousins.

It is only PaymyTuition that is not considerate for Nigerians...that MTFX people don't accept anything except you do Naira Bank transfer with a killer margin or do Dom cards or FX transfer.

Heritagebib:
I need help urgently!!!
I'm suppose to pay for my first semester fee (fanshawe) today through flywire. I want to pay through transfer (black mkt rate) but my banks(zenith &first bank) said they don't know about it.
I don't have a domiciliary account and I can't wait for form A.

What should I do?

Loved your story-telling grin

How much is Tuition Deposit for Centennial College? This their Admission na Express oh.

Shrunkwriter:
PPR DON SHOW MEHHHHN

Meke ona no vess abeg ... It came out a while ago but i've been quite busy. Wanted it to be as detailed as possible to help y'all for the sake of reference. Thank God for giving me this, I consider it a special gift. I initially intended on using an agent because of his proclaimed success rate. I con reason am, which agent go tell you about their win-to-loss ratio? So, after having a holistic discussion with him about Visa Applications in general ... I figured ... hey ... This isn't really rocket science, I can do this. And so, everything from start to finish was done BY MYSELF. Here's my timeline below.

*Timeline*
School Application 12th Dec 2022
Admission 15th Dec 2022 (Centennial College)
LOA came 3rd Feb (came in late cus Dem go carry my money give another student, I give dem wahala angry no be chais until dem release am)
Visa Application Submitted 17th Feb
Biometrics 22nd Feb (The way the guy that attended to me here kept congratulating me. At this stage IRCC nvr even touch my application. I con dey wonder huh)
Request for Medical Examination 24th March
Medicals done 17th April
Medicals updated to passed 26th April
PPR dropped 28th April

*After the medicals (Q-life family Clinic Lagos), I followed up with Q-life to find out when they had uploaded my Medicals. When they confirmed this, I sent a mail to the ircc nairobi mail and and about an hour later, medical updated to pass. Same goes for the PPR, when I saw nothing was happening 2 days later, I sent a mail to nairobi again informing them that my medical has been updated to passed and then, I kid you not ... 5 mins later I received 2 mails "A message about your application is waiting for you.", checked the portal and PPR was sitting peacefully waiting for yours truly. Lass lass, na God get power.

I split my documents into 2 pdf's. the first was for financial related documents, and the second was for any other document. Because of this split, I didn't have too hard a time in compressing my documents. As for the compression, documents that I felt ranked higher in importance, I did little to no compression, while documents that ranked lower, I brutally compressed them.


* APPLIED USING GCKEY

2nd pdf (all other relevant documents) (41pgs)

- Statement of purpose (3 pgs long) (pro tip, try to keep it short, but if you get plenty talk, Organize your plenty talk into well-defined sub-headings so that V.O will know where to look for whatever)
- School fees deposit receipt (uploaded this in both 1st and second pdf, make dem no talk say dem no see am undecided)

LOA
PASSPORT (THAT IS WHAT WE NIGERIANS CALL INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT)
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH (CANADIAN SIZE) I TOOK 3 DIFFERENT PICTURES AND DIDN'T REST UNTIL I LOOKED CUTE ENOUGH FOR THE V.O wink.

Good luck to everyone still hoping to hear from IRCC ... good news soonest! At least dem don call off the strike.

My Japa Family,

When will he get his POE (Port of Entry/ Letter of Introduction)?

We got this ready for collection message from VHS and also the attached from tracking the application.

I hope he can walk in and pick up too?

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 1:56pm On Dec 16, 2022
Using his Flight Itinerary, I booked already.
His flight gets to Vancouver on 4th by 12midnight and no flight till morning....so I booked a 5th early morning flight for him.

That way, he could enjoy the overnight hotel booking.
Though I am yet to make payment.


FranklynJonin:
@CindyByFine

Would you wait till you get to Vancouver airport before you book your flight from Vancouver to Kelowna or will you book it here online and assume the time you guys will reach Vancouver
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 12:49pm On Dec 16, 2022
My Japa Family,

@Johnstan @Rekaxingend @Makano and others, does this mean his passport is ready for collection?

Abi we go get email saying "Passport ready for collection"?

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 8:26am On Dec 16, 2022
Send Emails and Webforms.

Attach the email from your school showing that today is your deadline and other documents to support the urgency.

List your application timeline...use a Subject that concerns you...not a generic one.

Examples:
Subject: [URGENT] | Study Permit Application | Sxxxxxxx | Over 130 days / 19 weeks

Subject: URGENT NEED FOR FINAL DECISION | STUDY PERMIT APPLICATION -Sxxxxxxxx

Good luck.

Hello my people. Today is the deadline given by my school. What did you guys do differently on days like this to get PPR before deadline. Application is 12 weeks today (past normal 9 weeks)
This is affecting me mentally as I can’t defer second time.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 8:20am On Dec 16, 2022
The standard is now 9 weeks....you could send if your resumption time is January.

If not, you could wait it out.

Thank you.

@ Adakiobi,

I believe it will be too early to start sending mails and Webform to them except you have additional documents to forward. Be patient as it is not up to standard 12 weeks.

I hope this helps.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 6:17pm On Dec 15, 2022
Thank you so much.
Just made payment of a little over 1.1m to Vancouver....at least from Vancouver Airport to Kelowna Airport is about $250....which I am about making payment for.

Thank you all for your support....even with his imperfect application, I try package am as I learnt from this forum and used Webform to upload additional documents as I also saw some people list their submitted documents.
SOP was written by me after some professionals said we should pay 100k for award winning SOP but I was out of cash then.
It can only be God...for people believing God and waiting for their PPR, e go soon drop.

We await his passport from VFS...make I go dey arrange small foodstuffs for him.

Will be back much later. Peace...�

johnstan:
Choose an arrival airport close to your location and you will be fine. I don't think you would want to arrive at a province/location and start another journey to another province/location cos you booked a cheaper flight.
Someone here said he got a good deal for like a little over 800k like a page or two before this page. If you're still considering cost your might want to quote the post for him to shed more light.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 3:17pm On Dec 15, 2022
Just want to be sure I am going for a good deal before I make payment.

Where are you flying to in Canada?
I saw less than a million naira flights but to Toronto.
And Toronto is far from Kelowna... it's only Vancouver that is closer, hence the use of Vancouver Airport as destination.

johnstan:
Yea, it was less than a million with no stopovers in countries that require transit visas.

I think the booking without payment lasts for 24 hours so be sure to check that.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 1:36pm On Dec 15, 2022
So for how much did you book yours?
Less than a million and without layovers in countries that require Transit Visa.

I just book on their website, I wan pay later today.
johnstan:
Ok great, I'm not sure how you got to this option though so I can't say.
I paid in their office physically here in Lagos via bank transfer and it was booked.

Oh chill, if it's travel document they are asking, choose passport
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 12:17pm On Dec 15, 2022

This is the only Ethiopian flight that is not stopping over at Chicago.

This one is ABUJA to ADDIS ABABA to TORONTO to VANCOUVER,BC.
Then he will do local flight ✈️ from Vancouver to Kelowna.

What are we to select here?

My Senior Ogas,

How do we handle his passport submission!

My brother is currently in Abuja and his Biometrics was done in Abuja too.

Can he walk in and submit by himself? What does he need to do that?

I want him to do the Passport Submission tomorrow.

You're to pay the transmission fee if you didn't do biometrics in Abuja and the courier fee of 18710 is for returning your passport back to your address if you can't get 2 way courier from DHL
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 6:57pm On Dec 13, 2022
Started sending mails and Webforms since 24th November like once and sometimes twice daily.
But on 7th December when it dawned on us that wahala dey oh without a response, I sent at different intervals, a total of 70 emails and Webforms inclusive.
That same day, Eligibility started and work no gree me continue with as much as 70 emails again, so did the usual emails to all the email addresses and Webforms twice daily.
Nothing over the weekend... continued yesterday and then today with more focus on the Nairobi office, as London people give me expo.
Ilueh:
Please when did you start sending the emails and webforms? Today? And like how many did you send please
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by CindyByFine(f): 6:23pm On Dec 13, 2022
Moyosore019:
Congratulations!!! He never disappoints

Please can you send the emails you used
Do you mean the email addresses? Or the body of the email?

Both answers are here. I sent to
<nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca>; <nairobi@international.gc.ca>; <beijing-immigration@international.gc.ca>; <abuja@international.gc.ca>; <london-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca>; <lagos.immigration@international.gc.ca>; <nrobi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca>; <ganzu-immigration@international.gc.ca>; <shanghai-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca>; <accraimmigration@international.gc.ca>; <ldnimmigration@international.gc.ca>; <abuja-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca>;

Then as at yesterday, London office replied that my application was not being processed in London that I should use the Webform link contained in their mail and my enquiry will be sent to the processing Office. I did and got an auto response from IRCC Nairobi....so I now focused my whole energy on Nairobi emails but for Webform, I sent to Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, London, Beijing, Shanghai.

I tried 5 different MPs for British Columbia, Canada but they all gave a generic response that meant that they can't help if I am not in their province or something like that.

This afternoon, I decided to use a fresh email instead of the existing email trails and I also attached the email and survey link from his School and sent mails every hour to Nairobi emails including NROBIIMDocument@international.gc.ca


Sample of Email sent:

Good day Sir / Madam,

I hope this e-mail meets you well.

My name is Bleep, and I am contacting you to kindly use your good office to expedite the processing of my Canada Study Permit Application.

My School (Okanagan College, British Columbia) has requested I submit the result of my Study Permit Application with a deadline of 13th December, 2022 which is TODAY (attached is a screenshot of the email) or FORFEIT my current admission into the Winter session.

My application timeline goes thus,

- Applied: 28th October, 2022
- Biometrics Passed: 31st October, 2022
- Medical Updated to Passed: 23rd November, 2022
- Eligibility: Started
- Proposed Travel Date: Bleep
- Resumption Date: Bleep

Based on the aforementioned, I would gladly appreciate it, if I can get an update on my application because, with every passing day, I lose ample time to prepare for my resumption and complete my travel plans.

My Application Number is Bleep and my UCI number is Bleep.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
XYZ
