Seun:

I've read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas; I can't find any reference to your claim about Azov killing Russian speaking people.


Vladimir Putin only strives to protect the interests and security of Vladimir Putin. When he was picked by Boris Yeltsin, he used his secret service to bomb apartment buildings within Russia, killing hundreds of Russians, and blamed the Chechens for it so he could start a war against them. His success in this war boosted his popularity and allowed him to remain in power. He repeats this cynical gimmick every couple of years.


We've been hearing about this alleged agreement between NATO and Russia. Can you provide a source and the full text of the agreement?

Thank you. I’ve been asking for this signed agreement too.

Good day guys, I had to settle to write this because I started my journey here and will finally end it here as well. I recently received my passport request on 21/04/2022.

This journey has started since 2019. My first ever application I used an agent to which was recommended to me by a family friend. My mother was the one in direct contact with the agent all i did was drop documents and go for biometrics. I wasn't really ecstatic about leaving Nigeria then. It wasn't in my plans at all. my application was already 6 months old. Luckily, I withdrew the application as I needed my passport for certain things which I'll not go into the Intricacies. I didn't even bother if my application was going fine or not I just desperately needed my passport at that point not caring what was done or if my application was submitted correctly. Sha I withdrew.

Fast forward to 2020. A friend of mine sparked my interest in traveling to Canada. Especially with the way the country don be. Mhen, then I remembered I had applied for this before. I asked for her advice and she directed me to Nairaland instantly I started reading the thread sometimes I could go as far as 2016 to see what was discussed and how things has changed found that Frankrobbn1, Lekiboboe, Justmellow, Fgmp12, shupy,dommakavelli, just wise where top contributors. So I took my time and read their timelines. Every answers they gave/answered.

However, due to what I already learnt here I knew I had to get in contact with the agent of 2019 again to tell me what he filled in my IMM forms. I also planned to order my gcms files to see myself but I needed the details from the last application and hear what he has to say. I was in shock to what was submitted. The fallacies in my application and knew instantly that I was in deep shit. I can't drastically change any information as that will be considered misrepresentation. IRCC no send if na agent apply for you. So one way or another I maneuvered. I was able to dilute some information. While some i just left it like that. There was no way I could change them.

With what I already knew I applied on July 23 2021. I was then refused November 29 2021. I was devastated. Upon everything whey I don Sabi. Haba na. I ordered my notes the same day I got refused.

I took my time got closer to God, bought some course from Mark holte. Paid for study permit webinars organized by immigration lawyers. Looked for other resources to gather information, felt nairaland wasn't enough. I would always direct message immigration lawyers on twitter i.e Andrew kolton, Raj sharma, Mikal, Mario Bellissimo. I got some information about the Intricacies, learnt alot about chinook e.t.c
Information choke sha.

With that in mind. I addressed my refusal reasons as accentuated by my GCMS notes. Which were sources of funds in 3 words. Packaged my application and applied on the 11th April of 2022. I received my passport request on 21st of April 2022.

Docs submitted in no particular order
1.) Evidence of post secondary education
2.) LOE (1 Page)
3.) SOP (4 Pages)
4.) NIN Slip(Me and my sponsor)
5.) Birth certificate
6.) IELTS
7.) 12 months bank statements for sponsor
8.) My bank statement (4 months)
9.) Business Invoices and receipts
10.) Tuition payment receipts
11.) Recommendation letters
12.) Financial statements of business
13.) Family pictures
14.) Business related pictures
15.) CAC registration docs
16.) Tenancy agreement and evidence of it's proceeds
17.) Sponsorship letter
18.) Bank reference Letter.

It'll end in praise for each and every one of us.

Hello all,

At last I got my PPR today after 5 months and 3 weeks , almost 6 months and 26 days after bvl�������������� The waiting was excruciating.

Special thanks to the rear gem on this platform @makano. He is truly competent in visa processing. I almost gave up but he gave me some advices yesterday on how to mail IRCC which I followed through and my PPR came within 24 hrs����� �

Infact my application was part of those he posted yesterday with bvl and no PPR for 26 days.

This is my timeline:

Application date: 10th Nov,2021

Biometrics: 12th Nov,2021

Medical request: 15th March, 2022

BVL: 24th March,2022

PPR: 20th April, 2022


Like I said earlier, special thanks to Makano. I am a silent member on this group but I got a lot of information here that helped me. Makano kept reassuring me when I was down.He is vast in the visa processing and also very compassionate. God bless you greatly sir.

God bless everyone here taking their time to share their timelines. I would be an ingrate not to share mine.

For all other waiting, it shall all end in praise �����

Congratulations

I finally got my PPR!!!

I've always been a ghost reader on this space, but I have specially created an account because my PPR journey is unlike any I've read here. I applied for a student visa for the third time on 18 November 2021 after 2 refusals but this story doesn't start there. As you listen to my story may you remain blessed.

It starts before I got admission in 2020, you see I've always wanted to study in Canada after Uni, but I was waiting to garner 3years of experience first. But in January 2020 after working for a year, my plan changed.

You see a friend of mine got a Canadian visa in January 2020 after being denied by the US six months earlier and the truth is I was the one who encouraged him to try Canada instead of a second application to the US mainly because I've always had a thing for the country. Maybe its the name, Canada or the country's reputation, but I always told my friends that I would pick a Canadian visa over any other country's visa including the UK and the US.

Covid came in February 2020 and I knew I wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon so I sat tight. Fast forward to August 2020 and I decided to begin my journey. I didnt know about this thread then, so i basically paid the same agent my friend used (quite pricey) for the school and visa application, school admission letter came sharp sharp before the end of September 2020 for the May 2021 term. My friend sef no fit go anywhere since January till September 2020 when he finally left Naija.

Between September and May, I had enough time to process my visa, or so I thought. One bank that has 'a' in their name first delayed my Form A to pay my school fees deposit for the first term. 2weeks still on queue, 3weeks, 4weeks same thing, who I offend like this. #EndSARS came(may the souls of the departed rest in peace and may their sacrifice not be in vain) in October 2020 and I knew that everyone would start applying for visas to leave the country, I needed to move faster.

In November 2020, my parents and I contacted a cousin of mine to help pay my school fees through her company as the deadline for my tuition deposit was fast approaching, at least Bank suppose respect themselves. In a week, they don do the deduction, we sent the equivalent to her, first term fees paid. Thank you very much. It's good to have a big company o.

My dad was to be my sponsor, so we sent all necessary documents to my agent by the first week in December 2020. That's how my agent called and said there's a new this thing called NSE program and it will make them process my kini fast fast, like in 21days and for that I will need IELTS and MyBank statement Certificate. I was just wondering which kind of wahala be this. So I registered for IELTS, I heard people fail it gan so I gave myself one month to prepare, My exam date was in Jan 2021, no be English language again, language that I've been speaking since I was a baby.

January 2021 came and my office promoted me, in my mind I was like thanks but I dey comot here very soon. I wrote the IELTS, passed it (before nko) and entered the wahala of MyBank statement Certificate. You see, my dad's primary bank said they were having network issues or portal issues and that they could not access something something on the MyBank Statement portal, naso another waiting begin.

We entered February 2021 no headway on the MyBank Statement something, remember my term was starting in May 2021. At the end of Feb 2021, we decided maybe my cousin who helped paid my fees should sponsor me as my dad's accounts with other banks did not have the kind of funds that can be proof of anything. My agent sha talk say make we draw family tree, this one and that one as solid proof that my cousin intends to sponsor me and that we are related. Finally we got my cousin's MyBank statement, around N50m was in the account and I was able to make my first application in early March 2021. March 2021 finished, April 2021 came, excuse me, madam agent shebi you said in 21days I will get response. She said
there's a general delay due to volume of applications. Wahala dey o.

By mid April 2021, my school sent a mail for me to register for the session,  I was in a dilemma for a long time on whether I should defer my admission or register. I thought about my life, if I deferred that means I wont be able to graduate in Jan 2023 like I have planned. They said the term was online, so I could start classes here in Naija while I wait for the visa. One of those nights before I could make a decision, I had a dream (I take dreams very seriously because I rarely have dreams or even remember what I dreamt about if I do). In my dream, I was inside a high rise building with glass windows wearing a very nice suit and looking outside. I was looking at a truck or something clearing snow from the road. So definitely no be naija I dey. It was futuristic or something because I felt like Harvey Specter. When I woke up I felt that it must be a confirmation from God because I immediately knew what I needed to do. I needed to register for my classes.

After registering and getting my timetable, I realized another thing, you know I said I was promoted, omo the salary increase no reach the increase in workload. I knew that I couldn't do both school and work as my work didn't end in the office anymore, I was carrying work home, working on weekends and we were at a peak period. If you know any accountants in charge of financial statements, please give special kudos to them. Which time will I use to do the school. Definitely one or both will suffer.

So I decided, I was going to resign from work(Warning: do not try this) if school started before visa came. My application was solid I thought, I had gotten a confirmation, proof of funds choke sef, why they no go give me visa. I had about 4months worth of salary savings (na my papa house I dey stay since) and an investment with one finance company like that.

Visa no come beginning of May 2021 so I dropped my resignation letter, tell HR say I dey go school. She said I should bring evidence to be included in my file, so I gave her my school enrollment letter. Naso she see school for Canada, she didn't know I hadn't gotten the visa yet, before I knew it everyone started congratulating me at the office say I no inform them say I dey travel go Canada. At that point I couldn't tell anyone that visa hadn't come yet, they would have thought I was crazy. I couldn't even tell my parents at home that I had resigned. You know how parents can be especially with the unemployment rate in the country.

So, I registered at a library, that's where I began taking my classes. I would leave home in the morning like I do when going to work and come back in the evening. How anybody wan take know.

Beginning of June 2021 I got two bad pieces of bad news. Firstly, the finance company I had investment in crashed, shebi they said it was SEC certified, my investment with them was gone. I was still healing from the hurt when I got served my first breakfast from the Canadian embassy, Reason: Purpose of Visit and Financial Assets.

Haba, with the proof of funds wey choke for my cousin company account. I spoke with my agent she said they most likely didnt believe my cousin was the one sponsoring me.

That's how I began research and discovered GIC investment Certificate, this is what most of my indian classmates used to show proof of funds. What better way to show proof of fund than to have some money in my name. For my mind, I just be like I go show this embassy people.

With the help of my parents, I purchased CAD12k worth of GIC, minimum for GIC is CAD10k but I wanted to show the embassy say the money dey now, I also paid the fees for my second term. At least now they cannot say any yeye financial assets. So I submitted another application in July 2021 with my dad as my sponsor. We sent printouts of his bank statements this time as well as I felt the GIC and receipt of 2 terms tuition where enough to cover the fact that we didnt have the MyBank statement.

Lo and behold, another breakfast came again in October 2021. Wetin happen this time, they said purpose of visit, family ties and travel history. I almost ran mad. Wetin be all this one. I became angry, are this people playing with my feelings how will you remove one reason and add 2 reasons. By this time I had started my second term.

I felt betrayed, Canada, the country of my dreams was surely a scam. Why didnt they put all this before. I spoke with my school and they said I should either request a refund of the remaining balance of my 2nd term fees or reapply again. I requested for GCMS notes, ladies and gentlemen, there was no detailed reason on my GCMS note like I see here. Just the same generic reason on my letter of refusal. It was as if they didnt even go through my application.

I told my parents that I was dropping out and that I was tired. They encouraged me and told me not to give up yet. I no even answer them because I had mentally signed out. Na to go dey find another work be that o. My former colleagues don dey ask me when I dey comot, na soon I just dey tell everybody say my classes still dey online. Then my dad told me something that restored my belief, he said he had been moving money out of the bank that had MyBank statement issue small small into another bank and that it is better he sponsored me with that account now, he also said I should find out if I could complete the course from Naija. My mum also said she had been saving money and she had about N3m in her account. At that point my belief returned, so I did not withdraw my GIC investment(brethren, no be by GIC o), this time I used both my parents as sponsors, we printed and put all their account statements inside the application plus the ones with shikini money and did MyBank Statement for the 2 major accounts to be used, about N12m in total for both accounts. I included my first term transcripts, notification of award of dean's honour list and all my parents properties in my 3rd application in Nov 2021.

Usually all my applications had always taken 12weeks but the wait for this one was massive. Kiloshele. After 12 weeks, my agent said she was going to contact them and that I should send her my second term transcripts, fortunately I was on Dean's honour list again so I sent everything to her. Meanwhile, I had academic break starting in January 2022 with my 3rd term to begin in May 2022 meaning I had inadvertently spent the full first year of my school in Naija.

On the 7th of April 2022, my agent called me as she always does when embassy provides a response, the way my heart was beating as I picked the call gan can pound yam, because won't my enemies laugh at me like this. The first thing she said was congratulations, the embassy has requested for your passport, abi na April fool. I suppose dey cry as I type this but I won't, as per hard guy I won't. I could not contain my joy especially with the fact that my school sent a mail that they are transitioning back to physical classes for the next term.

Thanks for reading and I hope my story inspires someone. I just want to wish everyone that is hopeful for a visa the very best and I pray that God that did it for me will also do it for you. I know that I might have left a lot of details out but this story seems like it will be very long. God makes all things beautiful in his time and the truth is I have saved a lot of money by completing my first year in Naija because now I dey hear say my rent will be $600CAD per month.

I am new on Nairaland, so I may not be as responsive here as quickly as I should be, I'll try to respond as much as I can. If there is any other way I can help anyone or any other details of my application you would like to know about, you can send me a msg on Twitter @Horlexs and I will surely reply you.

P.S: I apologise for not posting this immediately I got my PPR, I read here about someone who got his passport returned without a stamp after submission so I waited till I got my passport back. I waited for almost 20weeks una sef suppose fit wait for one week na. I will see if I can do landing gist as well if una no mind.

Thanks for the response. I thought misc is 3k?

Yes .. that’s why I said $13k … if you can come up with that and your school fees .. that’s perfect. Pay full tuition or first semester and you are good

Hello guys, please I need advice on how to go about this, I'm a bit worried and confused right now based on my POF.

Scenario 1

So, my tuition for 1 year is 13000cad. Living expenses is 10,000cad by default. I have 20,000cad available from my business and 200,000naira available on my salary account with good inflows too.
My first semester tuition is 7000cad.
Should I pay for my first semester tuition and do my visa application with what I have now? Or


Scenario 2
Should I wait to end of April to add more funds from my business to make it 23,000cad, Salary account to 500k, Pay for first semester tuition and then apply by first week of May?

Scenario 3

Should I just apply with the POF I have available now without paying for first semester tuition fee?

Scenario 4

Should I just defer my admission and save up at least 50,000cad to have enough money for my POF before applying again?

Thanks and appreciate your responses.

NB: My business is consistently bringing in money every month passively and I have a good salary job.







I’ll advice scenerio 4 … you are expected to have your full tuition, then living expenses + misc is around 13k so the more the money the better

Hi guys, it's PPR for me and medical request for my toddler (I don't know why they have requested for a fresh Medicals for her but we go do am)


2nd time applicant

1st application July 2021
Refusal cake in on 6th October 2021 after waiting. I had to defer my admission. I had already started classes oo. The bad news came in in the middle of a particular class and I want blank for 10 minutes, exited the zoom class and cried to my satisfaction. I ordered GCMS Notes same day through a friend in Canada who was following up with me on my application.

GCMS came after 1 month and I realized IRCC messed up my application.

They mentioned sponsor when I didn't have any.
They said I had lump sum when I showed certificate of fixed deposit and told them the date it liquidated.
They didn't even acknowledge the 45% upfront school fees I paid (I think they already made a decision before I sent in the payment receipt)


I had to contact of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant after my GCMS came in because I wasn't ready for the emotional stress of opening and refreshing IRCC portal and my email for update, he scheduled a zoom meeting with me and after reading through my GCMS Notes and listening to me, he said he'll have recommended a JR because the refusal grounds were baseless however, to save me time, money and stress, he recommended a reapplication.

I lost interest in online classes so I kuku deferred my admission.
I don move out funds buy market from fixed deposit sef so I kuku defer.

I started working on my POF immediately. I ensured large sums entered my personal account from everywhere and moved out and targeted March for submission of a fresh Application.



2nd Application Timeline

Application submitted 16th March 2022
Biometric confirmation 16th March 2022
Correspondence Letter 4th April 2022
PPR 4TH April 2022


Documents submitted:
Full tuition school fees payment evidence from school (32k CAD)
School admission letter
Person Account MyBankStatement showing 5.9M
Police clearance certificate
IELTS general result
WAEC result
Student copy of transcript
Digital passport
Letter of introduction by employer
Letter from employer showing amount and date my salaries were paid in the last 4 months.

CAC documents of Business
Company tax clearance certificate
Personal tax clearance certificate
Marriage certificate
Other children's birthday certificate
Husband's international passport
COF of landed property


The Registered Canada Immigration Consultant asked me questions like he was a Visa officer, I got tired sef. We exchanged lots of mails.

I'm grateful to God for this success. In deed, God has done this and I am in awe. Who could have imagined that my application would take 19 days and 13 working days?

I had already started Sweden application to schools sef. I had planned to apply to UK schools in October but transcript wahala didn't help matters so I left it.

I pray the God who did mine would do yours too. Do not give up.




Congratulations

Facts about my SOP (7 pages)
• I called it Letter of Explanation (That is what I saw on the IRCC portal).
• It was written by me within 3 weeks, with the help of the Almighty God. Contributions were made by my husband, 2 student already in Canada, I also got a contact from Nairaland, already in canada whom I sent it to for review and he shared an SOP (an extract) with me. I added somethings from the extract to my SOP.
• I used this format: Introduction, Academic background and Work Experience (BSc. Biochemistry; completed 2008, MBA; completed November, 2021 and 10years work experience), Why I decided to study the course, Career aspiration and Volunteering experience (I added my volunteer experience because I read that it is appreciated), why school of choice, Why Canada, Proof of Means of Financial support (I created 2 tables, one showed expense and the second table showed amount available; Rella; OJC group also affirm this format when I shared with her). I had 2 lump sums: 7.5M from my co-operative savings which was transferred to my account on 04.01.2022 and my husband transferred 5M to me; a day before I submitted my application (I contacted @TheGabby; OJC group who advised that my husband should transfer it and not leave it in his account)
• Home ties: Family ties and Economic ties - My husband and Children, my professional membership and responsibility, aged parent (my mum will take care of the children to enable me focus on my studies and not be distracted), prospect of the course I’m going for and increased earning power when I return, Impact on Africa Continental free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Stages of Anxiety
• Medical Update: Feb 3rd IOM, but was not updated until Feb 23rd. This took long compared to the timelines I’ve being seeing (I did not receive mail from IOM after medical, so I contacted them and they sent my result and informed me that it has been forwarded to IRCC).
N.B: NO Webform was sent until it was updated.
• Passport sent to Abuja: When my passport was delivered by DHL to VFS for stamping on the 28th March, 2022, there was no acknowledgement email, I had to mail them before they sent my tracking number (4 mails was then received within few minutes intervals). Whenever I track it on the VFS site, the same message (application is under process at the IRCC office) is what was displayed for 4days. On the 4th day (31st March, 2022), I sent a mail to VFS Abuja to let me know the true status of the passport sent to them for stamping. Few minutes later, I received a mail from them stating that decision envelope has been dispatched (different message from what is shown when I track it on VFS Portal). About 3 hours later, I received 2 emails that the decision envelope has been received from VFS, Abuja at CVAC, Abuja and has been collected from CVAC, Abuja. (I checked my IRCC portal and Counterfoil just updated; No email received from CIC)
• Passport picked by DHL from VFS Abuja on the same day; 31st March, 2022

How I coped with the anxiety
• I prayed to God (I’m a Christian)
• I surf nairaland for any info, a lot of screenshots to read over and over again
• OJC group chats

Note: I decided to do it myself because of the experience I had with a college admission gotten through a popular person/company on Instagram offering a free admission processing (but high exchange rate for application fee). When I got access to the application, he used an unknown person as my next of kin and included unknown number as my next of kin contact. I changed it on the portal and when I complained, he said it doesn’t matter. I was shocked and right there, I made up my mind to secure another admission (University) and apply for the student visa myself which I did with the help of the Almighty God.

It has indeed ended in praises.

To all PPR hopefuls, I wish you all the best and to those keeping all the do-it-yourself platform active, thank you so much.

Congratulations
