FINALLY, I GET TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!

IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISES!!

Sleekcee:

Chimahsom:
If one of your sections doesn’t reach band 6 can you still submit it like that

Hello Chimahsom

Yes, you can.

badmanjo:
Is it compulsory to get a study leave letter if one is still working

Hello,

It's not compulsory, but very necessary.

I'd say you should get it.

Olubs80:
Please for evidence of home ties in Canada student visa application, I want to inform them I have a business here. Do I need to submit the business bank statement to prove this or the CAC certificate is OK?

Hello Olubs

Adding just the CAC is fine. But looking at the bigger picture, you might want to include the BS(If it has wonderful inflow and outflow) to show the VO that the said Business is very much profitable, and that you'd have to come back after your studies as it's important to you.

olabisi6438:
hello guys good evening.

This is the meaning of ghost update.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES

Wanice:
Good day everyone, still waiting for someone to answer this. Thanks, I really appreciate.

Hello Wanice,

1- You do not need a sponsorship letter from the company

2a- No
2b- Yes
2c- Yes

If your dad is the sole proprietor, then I don't think there's any need for those other documents. Don't forget to add the Business' CAC document.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES.

Phrank1222:
A quick one guys, how long does it take in average to be called for medicals after biometrics?

Also, if I am called for medicals, does it mean that I should be expecting PPR?

Hello,

After Biometrics, Medical Request could take 1-3 months before it lands. Completely depends on IRCC.

And if you're called for medicals, it's almost certain you'll get PPR.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES

HipheeO:
Guysssss....God has done it!!!! It's PPR!!!!!!!! Just dropped now now

Keep sending the mails and praying....what God cannot do doesn't exist!

I ll drop my time line later!

I remember seeing your messages a good number of times.

I landed in Montreal on Thursday. N I must say, please print your proof of funds o, it is well....

I no sabi write long story, make una no vex for me abeg.

I would recommend Lufthansa, and that you land in Montreal.

Also, you can book your quarantine plan directly with the hotel, I did mine like two weeks before my travel date and I had no issues. Just be sure that you are booked for mandatory quarantine.

I thank God it ended in praises cos my Journey wasnt easy at all, but God came through.

Lastly, comfort inn dorval disappointed me.

Good evening everyone. I’m new here. I just got my admission, can someone put me through on how to start visa processing ? Documents to submit and websites? Thanks in anticipation

Hello,

Congratulations on your admission.

The link below will direct you to the thread that'll show you how to go about your visa application.

Watch the Videos in this LINK for CANADA study permit STEP-BY-STEP application PROCESS & HOW TO FILL IMM FORMS

When you're done with the videos, you can read from page 1 of this thread. You'll definitely find something that relates to you.

ABOUT RENEWING PASSPORT
Passport was to expire February 2021 and I applied November 2020, was advised to apply with the old one while I try to process the renewal before I get a response from IRCC.

There's also a thread on Nairaland for obtaining international Passport in Nigeria, check there for people's post(don't go and pay money to anybody there o as there are many post saying DM me for fast processing so thread carefully)
Got my passport early this year(2021) so I just sent the new data page via webform to IRCC and also included it in my account when they sent request for NSE.

Copied from @JustMellow: There is no worries applying with the soon to expire passport. Prior to submitting your application and before a final decision is made, you should have been able to renew it and update IRCC via CSE so it can be included to your file. This means when the PPR drops, you will only have to send the renewed passport for stamping.
It won't be advisable to send a soon to expire passport for stamping as the visa will be issued based on the duration of the PP.

ABOUT NSE REQUIREMENTS
Didn't have IELTS, read a post where someone said he submitted letter of waiver from his Uni so I did same and included a little background story and also included the page from my proposed school in Canada's website where they said Nigerians
are exempted from submitting proof of English proficiency.
Uploaded my bank statement certificate
Sponsor isn't based in Nigeria so no MBS, he requested a reference letter from his bank and I attached with 12 months bank statements(there statement isn't voluminous like ours for Naija, 1 page or max or 2 pages was okay for one month). 
Basically reuploaded everything I uploaded for Financial support before incase they decide to only use NSE documents and I put a note to explain with table of content as well.

MEDICAL EXPERIENCE AT QLIFE
Booked online and also made payment online of 40,000. Didn't receive any confirmation mail so I placed a call through to confirm my slot and also sent a mail so it can be documented (auditors always need physical evidence �). I was actually offered another date before 6th of March but it was a weekday and I didn't want to skip work so I declined. (Just incase you don't see any date that's close enough on the site, you can call to confirm just incase someone cancelled and they can fix you in the slot)

Arrived qlife at about 7:45 on the Saturday, already met people seated, I think I was number 15 or thereabout. Washed hands did the normal covid protocols, signed in them was handed a white slip to fill and was asked to sit and wait.  Someone came to collect our international passport, the white slip that was given to us and the medical request form (this isn't needed if it's an upfront medical). Figured others that were there earlier had been attended to and they were called in to start the process. Sat under the canopy for about 30 to 45 minutes before they came to call the second set in. At the reception we were asked to fill a form and our photographs were taken, then we were called to confirm our names and date of birth and then handed back our passport,e-medical slip, urine bottle and a form for the doctor and nurses to fill as we were being attended to. Went to see someone else to confirm payment, she asked for payment slip which she sighted and kept and wrote a receipt for me then gave me 3 colored circle tags for Blood, vitals and vision test and xray. We were called in according to the numbers on the tags, the process was quite fast for me though. I think all that took about another 45 minutes to 1 hour and then I finally saw the doctor, he asked some normal health questions and checked for some other things. The nurses and doctor were quite professional, they ensured they explain what they are about to do before they proceed. I liked that cause it prepared my mind for what I was expecting.

Returned the urine bottle and the medical form back to the receptionist and was told that was the end of the process. I think I left there around 10 a.m or thereabout.

ENSURE YOU GO WITH YOUR ORIGINAL PASSPORT OR A COPY AND DON'T FORGET TO ASK FOR IT BEFORE LEAVING ENEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO YOU BEFORE THE TEST ENDS. SENT THE E-MEDICAL SHEET TO NAIROBI AND SOME OTHER OFFICES VIA WEBFORM AND MAIL.


I WISH EVERYONE ON THIS JOURNEY GOD'S FAVOUR. IT WILL DEFINITELY END IN PRAISES.

OGA FRANKROBBN I HAIL O����

God Bless you Big for your posts!

I'm so happy for you.

Heroulo:
Hello.. good morning to the gurus in the house. I have been a reader and appreciate all the info here. I would like to ask a few questions;

How long does background check last? Does it update to complete?

Also how long does eligibility last?

I submitted my application on the 4th of march and biometric on the 7th of March, background check started same day and has been like that.

Eligibility started 2 days later and has also been like that. Meanwhile I submitted upfront medical and my portal is saying I dont need medical for now.

Is my application going well at all?

All is going well.

You're actually on track because your eligibility started on time.
However, nobody can tell you how long it's going to last.

All you can do is wait and pray.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES.

After deed of gift worth one year tuition and $10,000 living expenses,is it necessary to still show the sponsor's account statement

YES

Ketima:
Hello All,

Please I need your inputs.

Please when someone is supported by an uncle,

1). Is it better the money be kept in Sponsors account or should the money be sent to application and gift of deeds given?

2). Is It necessary to show proof of past assistanceship though not in Education, but in other areas?

Thanks

Good Morning

1) Your sponsor can pay your tuition for a year, and grant you a gift deed for LE. Doing these would go a long way in showing his willingness to sponsor you.
And Yes, his bank statement should be shown as proof that he can sponsor you comfortably for the remaining years.

2) Yes Please.
