It ended in praise.
My application was approved on my second attempt.
First application
Submitted 25th April 2022
Denied 3rd June 2022
Used my maternal aunt as my sponsor.
Reason for refusal from my note:
the VO was not convinced that my maternal aunt is related to me as we do not bear the same surname, even after showing pictures of me and her from years back.
Personal assets and financial status.

Gift Deed of land and cash from my Dad.
Am going to Okanagan college kelowna campus,British Columbia.

My special appreciation goes to God Almighty for making this possible.
To all those that helped directly or indirectly I say thank you all.
To those new on this thread, take your time to read through pass threads. Everything I know about Canadian study permit i learnt it here.
My prayers are with all those waiting for response from IRCC. it will end in praise.

Honestly, this your response wasn't necessary.

CharitoJames:



It’s not too late to withdraw your application to Canada. Go ahead and withdraw and save yourself that stress. Some of us are too strong willed with Faith that can move mountains... I was expecting at the end to see you didn’t apply to Canada or you withdrew and applied to some other country... Our Grace is different! Thank you!!! God has settled it!!! What God cannot do does not exist

Thanks to everyone that responded to my previous question. God bless you all in this forum!

Some other Questions I have is that:

[1] In applying for Study Visa, which stream do you suggest I go for, the Regular processing method or the Nigeria Student Express (NSE) Stream

Which one is better and faster ?


[2] How much would this student/study Visa processing cost in total?


[3] How do I start, a step-by-step processing? because I don't want to make any nasty mistake.

I need the links to start etc etc

[4] The graduate school of the university that has given me admission just requested that I should send them my WAEC and a copy of my passport.
My question now is, do they mean my international passport or my passport photograph Because I have sent messages asking that but I have not seen their response


Lastly, I wouldn't mind if someone can volunteer to help me through all these processes as I want to make mistakes and no much on me to hire any agent.


Thank you all in advance for your expected favourable responses. God bless You

Send them your international passport biopage and your original WAEC result. ASAP

first application April 6 2021: (old portal)Biometrics
April 7th.. Biometrics updated ..July 8th: 
May 19: Upfront Medical
Medicals done May 19 ....
June 2 Upfront medical updated 
--- no NSE request at allEligibility started July 16th
Request Letter Back charge July 31st
Paid August 2nd PFL Procedural fairness 
August 25thResponded to procedural fairness
August 29th Visa denied November 12th

The reason for the PFL/charge back was that my agent used someone's card to pay my visa fees. I was pissed, but I was like...I can't let someone pour sand in my Garri. Initially I thought he was being fraudulent because the person with the card he used to pay wasn't forthcoming with the bank statement. I quickly paid another application fee without an explanation.

IRCC sent me mail showing PFL and a potential 5 years ban saying I should explain why debt to the crown was incurred in the first place. Mogbe!
I was here thinking...how do I explain to IRCC that a friend used his friend's card to pay for my VISA application.Guess what that's exactly what I did. I told IRCC exactly that! and that it was a common problem in the NIgerian banking system.

I also shared a CBN article talking about the dollar limit CBN placed on Nigerian banks.I took it to court to notarize it.
The guy later sent his statement,  I added it to what was sent.
After everything I got rejected on November 12, 2021

I put myself together and reapplied December 3rd with the new portal. (This time I paid full tuition and switched progratailored to my current job experience)No single thing in my application changed. I started classes online which was a story for another day. I sent emails and webforms, no response. At one point I thought something was wrong with the portal! I was like, unlike the old portal where I was getting updatesMedical viewed, with date viewed/ updated. Eligibility etc. This one is nothing! like no single update.

December, January, February, March...I was like hmmmmmmm. Then in March. IRCC responded to my webform saying I should resubmit all the documents I applied with! I was like what!!! IRCC lost my file or what? (by this time some people I started the process with and got rejected were already in the UK asking me how far... wont I jump ship to the UK? that IRCC is using us to catch trips.

I was like sighhh. I encouraged myself in the Lord. I submitted everything again to IRCC through webform. 2 weeks later this time In April 2022. They sent another email saying that I should submit everything again. 
This time I panicked . I started calling on God like my life depended on it.

It actually did.Because He is the alpha and Omega, my application is in between. He is El roi ...The God who sees. It was at this point I shared what was going on with Maureen. 
Maureen was like I should just hang in there.. and keep believing. Her encouragement was like cold soothing water in a dry and thirsty land.
I also reached out to 2 MPs, they were like its not in their jurisdiction, except it is critical. I emailed one of them saying I have not even gotten an update. He said he will send a mail to IRCC on my behalf. This was third week of april.

IRCC responded to him that criminality has been passed. I was like what does that even mean... Im like okay...
Then I sent another strong, subtle, emotional but stern mail that I think my situation is very critical because my next semester is not online and I really need a response.He sent another mail to IRCC stating that if I don't hear from them in 4 weeks, I should send him a mail.

May 23rd I sent him a mail.Booom!!!

Hello Teezkid

Statement of purpose is a very important and compulsory document for a Canada study, visiting and spousal permit application.. In case you don't know, Canada doesn't conduct interview for Visa applicants unlike most developed countries, so the the tool you will use to sell yourself to the IRCC Visa officers is your SOP, since you won't be there physically to present yourself to the Visa Officer.

Yes, I have also seen very few instances where applicants get PPR without submitting a Statement of purpose, but remember, no 2 application is the same..

There are many times the Visa Officer will refuse an application for a vague study plan and also purpose of visit, SOP is the major tool to knock off these refusal reasons..

Again, SOP is a very important document to include in your study permit application, and if you wanna apply without it cos very few have gotten PPR without it, then goodluck..

Peace

Good morning niralanders.. Please i need a candid advice..
