It's easy to wish, hope and pray for a better Nigeria from diaspora.

#NigeriaWillBeGreat again but mo ti jaapa 1st.

Teemenzo:


The system is faulty already. Nigeria is at the tip of the cliff. 2023 is the iceberg that will hit the cliff and break off the tip. When the tip is off, we will work of the remains of this country. We don't pray we move from fry pan to fire but its looking like it.

Good morning house
Please someone posted about accessing a loan for study recently, please can anyone point me to that post or give more info? Thanks alot

Online rate is parallel market and not official rate.

Go to your bank to pay your school fees please.
It's cheaper in bank. Just tell them you want to pay school fees and you'll be given a form A to fill.

Generate bank details from your school. Most schools use CIBC.

Fawaz12345:
but I tried paying my tuition fees it’s 412 online I don’t know why with a card tho

Use the rate on this link:

https://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/cgi-bin/recgen/er.pl?Language=E

It's IRCC link. It's #312.58 as at today.

If you want to leave Allowance for fluctuation and surplus POF for VO, use xe.com rate. It's #323.53 today

A quick question house;

What conversion rate do you use to convert CAD - NGN ??
Google real time conversion do not seem accurate compare to Aboki Fx.

I really want to know the right one to use for my CAD - NGN conversions...

Thanks jare.
I'm actually very occupied in Nigeria ATM, I just need closure on the whole rollercoaster of application.

My 1st visa application to any country. I loved Nigeria till #EndSars happened and the realities of a failed nation dawned on me.

I don't pray to be here till they start preparing for the election they plan to rig and kill for.

Teemenzo:


Bro, calm down. Me i submitted on the 20th of this month. I just joined the cruise ship. Nothing much. I just discovered that some number was updated in front of biometric and they wrote biometric completed in the timeline. Seriously i don't know what that means.

All in all the patience will pay off. Find something very important to do in your remaining few days in Nigeria

Nawa ooo.
IRCC just decided to take me to school of patience and probably award me PhD in patience.

Ordered GCMS notes on 8th August and nothing yet.

tyscott99:
Immediately after delay on 16 August 2021

Eligibility review update na scam
Mine started 2 weeks after I submitted, I'm still waiting for PPR

Kachiii47:



My Eligibility didn’t start until I got my PPR and no ghost update too

Delightful read.
Thank God for coming through for you.


Congratulations

SweetJJ:
My application is that of faith. So I started the journey last year around June/July 2020. The first University I saw offering my course (Special Education Specialization in Education of the Deaf) was University of British Columbia, and after going through their website and the department, I reached out to supervisors. I found out there are just two supervisors that could supervise my PhD study.

The first told me that my proposal is interesting but she is retiring soon and cannot take a PhD student. The 2nd person told me that she has so much on her hands and cannot take a student at the moment. I persuaded and persuaded but it all reached a dead end.

I started hunting again, I reached out to two supervisors in University of Alberta, one told me she is retiring soon and I am left with one option. Happily she accepted to supervise me and encouraged me to apply.

I later got to know she just start work a month before I reached out to her. Admission portal opened and I applied... And the wait started from October till 16th March 2021. I was admitted. Sadly though, without any funding. I reached out to her about that and she said she will offer me research assistant for the fall term, that the grant she applied for is yet to be approved.

I acted in faith, paid my full Tuition fee (8700cad), showed 2mil in my account, 1mil in my pension account, 4kCad from my supervisor for assistantship and two weeks later the department sent me 5kcad scholarship and I uploaded it through webform.

So In all my POF is not up to 25kCAD. It's just for one year. And I am going for 4year PhD. And I am self sponsored as I couldn't get anyone that will sponsor me. So I was really really scared but I trusted My God Jehovah.

I hope I have not forgotten anything.

Flaws of my application:
I am leaving my twin boys 2years and I just partially mentioned that my mother inlaw will take care of them while I am away. I didn't submit my husband employment letter or bank account. Funds seems not enough. I had lump sums which I explained as company's business money. No landed documents submitted.

Jehovah perfected my application. I trusted in him with all my heart. I saw his hands all through this process. This is my first application. I also applied to only one school.

I am really grateful to you all for this platform. Thanks guys.

No idea.

Wait for gurus.

Unbin:
Hello destination, as mentioned I have valid visitor visa, can I travel with this visitor visa and present the passport request letter for them to issue my student permit?

It's generic autorespond message

Iffylove:
Hello everyone
I sent a webform upper week but I did not get any response email acknowledging they received it.
I sent another one yesterday (another document) and I just received this mail below.
Does that mean they didn't see the first one?

Landing gist

Firstly, Thanks to Almighty God for making this possible. My flight was on 20th (luthfansa) 10:55pm
I Arrived at Mm1 Lagos around 6pm and my bags were weighed, one was 19kg and second was 22kg then I proceedto get my boarding pass . I was asked my Enrollment, Passport, Covid test and school offer letter then I was given my boarding pass . We left Lagos 10:55 to Frankfurt which was about 6hrs + journey . There was 4hours lay over before we continued to Toronto which was about 7hours too . My POE was Toronto and I was asked to login my school portal and show the immigration the courses I enrolled for because I started online September 8 then my study permit was issued then I connected to my flight going to Nova Scotia.. I’m sorry if this is not well detailed. I pray people waiting for Ppr will be answered very soon . Thanks

An MBA would have been better IMHO.

Hebsyn:
I graduated with 2.1 in Business Administration 10 years ago and I have been given admission for a two-year PGD in Global Business Management at Contennial College. I am employed and also have a side business. I am on the verge of commiting myself financially but my concern is that they said the fact that I am opting for PGD instead of a master's degree will impact my study permit outcome.
Pls house what's your take on this? Help a brother.

What if the number keeps bouncing off

lobinche101:

SweetJJ:
Its PPR guys! I am still shaking! May 14th applicant. The most imperfect application was perfected by my God Jehovah. I kept believing he will perfect my application. He did!

You guys remember my gcms note with Review Required and Subsequently Recommend Interview?

Let me go and mail my passport, I am coming!

My breakfast is served!

Thank You Jehovah!

Thanks guys for all your contributions!

VO has concerns on availability of the funds in the account statement you submitted. Did you have any unexplained lump sum deposit?


VO thinks your course of study doesn't show career progression for you. Does your current work or academic qualification match your proposed course of study?


Please if o may ask, when did you apply for the GCMS notes?

Chylynancy:
Good day guys trust y'all are good❤️can someone please look at my note and tell me what he or she Think of this I want to reapply soon

what advice do you guys have for me please

You need to contact your school to confirm if you will be late or not. Lateness after session has began is determined by school not IRCC.

Enrollment Letter
POF

Octavoral:
Good day everyone. I'm here for some clarifications.

I've submitted my passport to VFS via DHL and I'm awaiting the return. My school resumed sept 7. Hope it won't be too late for me to resume by September ending.

Secondly, aside covid test and airline ticket, what are the other requirements to enable hitch free travelling

Congratulations Oliveth

There are Angels here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first Visa application was delayed in January 2021 and I deferred my Admission to fall.
Reapplied on 15th May 2021 after analyzing the GCMS Notes and gathering more information from here!!!!!!

People were even telling me that I need an Agent but I insisted that I don't see the reason for that since all that I needed is here.

God did it for me. My PPR just landed this morning.
No need for an Agent or special WhatsApp group if you can read, comprehend and pray �

I will come back to give details

What God can not do does not exist!!!!!
Best of luck to those expecting PPR

Correct!

Bukuns2000:
Amen, I will wait then

Patience does it.
Looking at it daily won't do anything to hasten approval.

If he was recommended by your family friend, I think you should respect the relationship and trust the agent to the end.

We'll smile last last

Bukuns2000:
Hi everyone, I have a problem, I chatted my agent few days ago that I need to know if there is any update on my application and he replied that there is no update to report though I submitted my application July, I know that it might be to early to be expecting anything but am just anxious, I want to be looking at my application everyday, I also want to know should Incase IRCC is asking for any additional documents but this guy is not telling me anything, he is just saying the application is in process, am sure that if I ask him for my gckey details he is most likely to decline, so should I just retrieve the account from him without him knowing or I should be patient. He was recommended by a family friend who is now in Canada through this agent and this agent is based in Canada. Please I need your suggestions. It is just that I joined this platform after I submitted my application and I saw that alot of people have condemned this agents or else I would have done it myself

Congratulations.
May mine come this week too.

I am getting too anxious

Westpaws:
Ppr landed when the watch man was tired of watching. JUNE 11th 2021, i applied for my study visa and Biometrics was done JUNE 15th 2021. Upfront medical automatically updated to Pass JUNE 16th 2021. Then, the long wait started.

I prayed, fasted, believed, joined every prayer session both online and offline. No single update on my account. Thanks to @Frankrobbn1 for taking out time to help with my application and answering all my application questions, encouraged me and my friend.
Just checked my email to see my love letter from IRCC SEPT 20 2021.

Thanks to every one on this forum who puts out information for others to gain from. Nairaland is the real google.

You took it out of my mouth ooo..

ritzzybaron:
