All the best to everyone waiting on their study permit approvals this new week. God will put a smile on all of your faces and you’ll resume as at when due in your respective schools.

All these agent stories I’m reading here and there on this thread are giving me a headache. I’m too much of a DIY person to allow someone to use their email and phone number for my application, I no go gree.
If your agent is acting funny, haggle your agent for every detail and if you can DIY preferably please do and seek opinions on your list of docs and SOP. I believe no one will take your application more serious than you’ll do. If you've to use an agent at all costs please use the ones that have been spoken highly of on this thread.
All the best guys!

Top of the day folks, please I would like to enquire on how long it will take for WES to receive my certificate, I sent my transcript earlier through DHL and it has been received but unfortunately the transcript was processed with statement of result, because I didn’t have my certificate at the time, however there is a provision for online uploading of the certificate and I’ve done that, now my question; does anyone know how long it will take for them to process it.

NB: they’ve received and processed my transcript.

I was in this situation with my spouse, I uploaded statement of result first and the transcript was sent, School refused to verify because he had certificate, so I uploaded certificate copy on wes portal and waited for them to resend verification and they resent using the certificate plus transcript before the school then responded to verification and we got the ECA about 4 days after verification was received.

Please does it apply to a conference that has passed?

I don’t know about conferences because I’ve never applied to a conference, I’ve always applied as a tourist and I never meet up with the date I fill and it has never been an issue.
I’ll want to assume hypothetically (if I were a visa officer but fortunately I’m not) that they’ll be stricter with a conference attendee since that’s your sole purpose of going there, if it has passed what are you still going to do there? And if you knew you were attending a conference why not apply very well ahead to not give room for delays knowing how these delays have been the order of the day since last year July till date. Just my personal opinion, please.

May God help me because seriously I do not know where to start from in search of schools

I can relate to how tiring it can be especially while applying but you have to put in the effort, never give up and it’ll be all worth it. Someone I know got admitted to Ucalgary with a cgpa of a very very narrow escape from third class to the LLM program that is highly competitive. Just do your research and don’t wait for anyone, do it yourself nobody will take your matter more seriously than you by yourself. Don’t aim for the popular schools but of course make sure it’s a DLI, you will get something.

TiggyAce:
Assiniboine community college form I filled and submitted required ielts band score which I did so I’m been placed in waiting list but all I requested for is another school I’ll submit my form at least have a second option. just a recommendation of school with my 3rd class degree is all I seek for in Canada diploma studies pls pls pls pls gurus

I don’t want to believe you don’t entirely stand a chance, I think you stand a good chance but you have to put in the research effort. Check for advanced diplomas and post-graduate diplomas in the “unpopular colleges” that are also DLIs. You may need to put in a lot of effort to help yourself to search for these colleges and not wait around for anyone to recommend and if you’re serious about being admitted, if you get a recommendation it also helps but it’ll help to do your research yourself that way you get results.

Aktor:
I put 21st jul to Aug 19 as the duration of visit to my brother in uk.

But the duration is almost over, and I am yet to get a response.

Will there be any effect on decision if the period of proposed travel is over before a decision is made?

I didn't know application now take up to 8weeks.

Don’t be bothered, it doesn’t affect your application.

Good evening �

While expecting a positive response from IRCC soonest, I read through the landing gists... I noticed only 2 posts with flight itineraries of more than 1 connecting flight. Considering that flights with more stops are cheaper, I'd expect that it's the other way round.

Please help with a kind response to any of my questions below.

1. Besides the convenience that 1-stop flights provide, is there any other reason more people chose this?

2. Besides USA, are there any other countries to avoid that require transit visas?

3. Could you kindly confirm that YVR is the correct destination airport in Vancouver.

4. There's an option for purchase of refundable tickets. Has anyone had an experience using this for refund or swap?

Thank you.

For me, I’ll usually buy one stop or non-stop to Noth America because multiple stops elongate the journey that is already long and tiring on its own(a personal preference).

The USA requires a transit visa if you don't have a valid USA visa(they're not nice) & Schengen countries too but if you have the USA or Canadian visa you’ll not require a transit visa via Schengen countries(Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt to mention a few) but the USA stays the same, if you’re transiting via the Uk you will not require a transit visa.

Yes YVR is the airport code for Vancouver

If your travel plans are solid then you may not need to spend extra booking a flexible ticket, but if you think you may have to change the ticket before the travel then please buy a flexible ticket because it costs a fortune changing a non-flexible ticket. If you want a fully refundable ticket it’s costlier but safer if your travel plans aren’t solid but it’s just extra money you can save towards settling down at your destination if you have your plans intact.
I hope I have been able to answer a few of your questions, others can chip in.

This new week, I wish everyone waiting on their study permit a speedy approval and of course all the best. I know this anxiety and it’ll end in praise.

Good afternoon guys,

Please, I need your urgent help. I got an admission and was told to pay 750 CAD within 10 business days to accept the admission. I want to know if it is possible to pay this 750 CAD using my GTB Mastercard and how long does it take. Abeg make una help me oo

No Naira denominated card can carry this amount. You will have to use a dollar card or get someone in Canada to pay for you.

Congratulations iamThej and everyone who has gotten ppr.
Lol I think I agree with that uOttawa part and I still made an inside joke with my friend about it because everyone I know who applied using the school didn’t pay any deposit, didn’t have an idea of nairaland and didn’t put a lot of effort but they all got approved.

Mi o ni so nkankan. grasiouso sorry about your situation. Things are really happening.

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to ask about Medical visa, I have an upcoming B2 appointment in July 2022, I have gotten a letter from a doctor Z in Houston and a letter form my doctor in South Africa as well.

My due date is Oct, so I wanted to find out if I should leave by July appointment or I should apply for emergency expedite and cancel the July own.
And can someone advise on what documents is needed to apply for interview with the intention of giving birth.

Your edd is in October which is 3 months away from July, you still have time. if you ask me I’ll suggest you leave your July date. Emergency appointments aren’t always granted all the time it’s granted selectively and unless you can prove an emergency medical condition.
A few people here have applied for and gotten emergency appointments, read their posts or reach out to them and of course, you have my best wishes!

Hello house

I came to US to deliver my baby, New Jersey to be precise. I wasn’t due until June 2022 and planned to deliver at a birth center for cheaper option. However, he came 6 weeks early and I had to be transferred to a hospital as the birth center doesn’t do any birth that isn’t full term. He spent 7 days in NICU and i received a total bill of almost $34k after discount. My question is is it ok if i choose a payment plan where ill pay a certain amount each month? This means that ill leave the country but will be paying my bills back home. Is it acceptable? Has anyone paid their bills over the course of 1 year?

Congratulations on your baby, I pray God provides for you to clear your bills don’t worry everything will be okay, just let the hospital know you will like to draw up a payment plan to clear the thing while you’re back in Nigeria and they will allow you do so $34k is a lot and not many Americans can drop that amount cash down.
I’ve read a story of someone here who was still paying small small for the previous birth while she went in to have to second one and she wasn’t sent back.

Joshmuch:
My good people, please o, if someone could not obtain a reference letter from his place of work and colleagues don't have ID or any for of Identification.How does one go about it?

My friend was in this situation and I remember coming here to ask and thankfully she got ppr now without any ADR’s as to employment or anything.
She attached the refusal email from HR stating they won’t give her a letter of reference, requested her JD’s from HR and attached it, attached her payslips, employment letter / contract , I.D card alongside a letter of explanation and that was all.
I hope this was helpful. All the best.

Good evening everyone, Please for those who have used form A to pay for Medicals, what were the requirements and were you the one who stated how much to wire to the doctor?

Gigli:
Please I need also......sent you a direct message

I just responded

Good morning everyone, I don’t know if this is best place to put this but I have easy@home ovulation strips and pregnancy test strips to give out to anyone who’s in need and finds them costly. I want to give out to different people. I’m in Lagos.
I also have one a day prenatal supplement to give out, baby aspirin 81mg.

Malone122:
not possible

Thank you I appreciate

kinkyhead:
I used qlife. Went for medicals 31 jan and my medical status was updated on feb 18 that i passed. So i guess they are fast as well in processing unless maybe their availability could be a problem.

Please do you have an idea if I can get someone to replace me at qlife Medicals since I can’t make it there ?

ednut1:
which other country dey that gives PR Used to be australia and canada. Both are now doing anyhow. Truth is no other country dey,[/b] i don't trust uk with all the student visa issuances. Work visa only favours some certain few occupations[b]. I hope things get better for this express entry o.

Your head is there Sir , you just said what I’ve been saying since. After three years what next ? They’re only using that 3 years to lure them. Uk was badly affected by brexit and these three years they’re dashing has greatly improved their economy, their immigration laws are not stable and forever changes to not favour most! Once they experience the slightest stability they’ll kick them out.

NneAku344:
Debbiee!! Thank you so very much Sis �. Thank you.

DEAR LORD, PLEASE WE NEED DRAWS!!!

Fingers crossed for you, Sis. It will end in praise ��

Amennnnnnnnnn

Congratulations Nneaku I just read your PPR now, I am very happy for you. I wish everyone waiting all the best. It is well. We are still waiting for draws to resume.

Sus4:
After waiting for so long , this refusal is heart breaking

I’m so sorry about this. I just came online to read this one. Please don’t be so sad.
Contact a lawyer to sort your CAC ish, only lawyers/ accredited CAC agents can do post incorporation filings. AR and penalties can be filed in hours, it’s not big deal.
Please don’t do any bulk lodgement without having a cogent explanation for it , I always emphasize this no bulk lodgement thing because they’ll see an account with steady inflow and outflow flow.
Separate your personal funds from business funds.
Have things to prove you genuinely own a business( letter head, ID card , tax clearance, receipts and invoices etc)
Just take your time to do all these and you’ll get your visa again. Delay is never a permanent denial

Nadnad:
People please I need help again ooo
How does one make payment together for a couple applying for Canada visa.
I. E father and mother , Husband and wife

If you do the application as a group you don’t need to bother , once you’re done it’ll calculate the thing together

rheene009:
I wonder oo

I also applied again with my husband in December, since first one is still pending. I'm awaiting a response

rheene009:
My people is it that there hasn’t been PPR for a while on this page or people are not sharing their PPR news anymore? My spouse applied in December no updates so far. Do they notify when eligibility starts?

I've been waiting for someone to say this And I'm glad you did
