Let me run a quick background here, i didnt even know we'll be applying to relocate to Canada till Monday June 7 this year, we have always wanted to move to Canada but the plan has been via Express Entry. Due to age constraint, we decided we should go via school and then we had the UK option too but the plan was to leave Nigeria by December 2022 at worst case scenario. Left for me, the process would probably start around June next year lol but my wife was much into the relocation plan. The funny thing is that i am "agent" and i worked with one of the leading agencies in Nigeria even heading Abuja's branch, students are always asking, bro when you go comot Naija, you wey dey help us, you no wan comot abi..or students asking have you been to all these countries before? lol me wey be say na only Dubai i don go, for some i say yes i don go (i lied), some i tell them the truth that i'm not ready yet.

Fast forward, i applied to school and admission came 2 days after. Deposit was made and we went for upfront medicals, did IELTS and Police Character. We gathered documents and finally submitted August 30, it is pertinent to state that this application was God's grace. I told my wife we should fast and pray every Tuesday till we get approval and our prayers points were specific:

1. God should perfect all the imperfections of the our application in the eyes of the Visa Officers
2. God should not allow our application be delayed for too long.
3. God should have mercy and compassion on our application.
4. I had a dream the 2nd week after i submitted the application that i was approved, so i started praying that God should make the dream a reality and let us get approval as a family.

My church has been about having testimonies in the month of October but 2 things happened that stood out for me. 1st, when i saw Jay316 approval last week Friday Oct 15, i noticed on his timeline that he submitted a week before us, immediately, i keyed into his testimony and approval that God should please let us have our PPR this week. In church this Sunday, Oct 17 we sang raise me up and tapped into Jehovah God raising my family to Canada. Pastor also said someone in the service would testify next week, I also tapped into it as I expect our Canada visa approval this new week in Jesus name. Then this morning around 7:30, NSSPD Pastor Jerry said someone will get the email they have been expecting in 1 hour time and good news before 6pm. Lo and behold, i got 2 emails from IRCC at exactly 8:10am, without checking who sent the mail, i started saying this is IRCC, this is IRCC and when i opend my mail it was IRCC oo, thats how i started dancing and praising God before opening my portal declaring that yes the word of God have to come pass that its going to be approval and when i logged in, i went straight to the bottom and i saw the golden messages CORRESPONDENCE LETTER & ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST, while checking my own, the mail for my daughter came in and 2-3 minutes later, the mail for my wife dropped too. Na baba God do am ooooo, people help me should 3 powerful Hallelujah.

As someone who has been in the study abroad industry for a while, i can boldly say that i got lotta information from this travel thread, thanks to all the gurus that share important information. I didnt do anything anything special but God is his infinite mercy gave us the approval, he made an ordinary application extra ordinary. The only thing i would say to prospective applicants is to take their time to study the thread well and be detailed in their SOP/LOE.

Who did it guys? JESUS...Oh My God...Woowwwwwwwwwwwww What God cannot do does not exist!!!

I key in and tap into this testimony. I too will testify in Jesus mighty name. Amen and Amen

sim2003:
I have been refused three times since last year. The last one was in July this year; the visa officer sighted lack of financial status and asset as his reason for the denial. I need help seriously. Someone has suggested that I should apply for gmc note...

I am glad you are still here. That shows you have not given up on the dream. The advice to get your GCMS notes is perfectly in order. Get it so the gurus in the house can review and give inputs to make ur next application full proof. God will help us all.

Jay316:
please how much per day 4 airbnb

Depend on the property and the location. So go to their website and search with your intended destination. https://www.airbnb.com/

raimiade11:
Do we have any July applicant that the eligibility has started?

July 18th, eligibility started since 5th Aug

Leyemoshood:
God has done it ooooo...Its PPR for family (Study Permit for me, Open Work Permit for my wife and Visit Visa for our 17 months old daughter). August 30th applicant.

Will be back with testimony and timeline...Who did it guys? JESUS...Oh My God...Woowwwwwwwwwwwww

This one loud. Congrats!!! So happy for your good news.

nairagrounds:
What then do you see or notice?

When you log on you see that instead of the usual submitted, you will see application updated. So far I have gotten 4 ghost updates.

I applied July 18th, biometric passed on the 19th July, upfront medical passed 27th July. Got 1st GU on 5th Aug when eligibility started, then 7th Aug when background checks started. For the other 3rd and 4th ghost updates I didn't notice any change to my application. Still we wait

tobi12345:
Good morning,
I have come back here to share my testimony. I have been a silent reader and follower on this platform. God did this for me and this my second application , I did my medicals upfront after I submitted my application.
I wrote my Sop myself because I couldn’t pay the outrageous fees some guys asked .
Only God can do this . Yours is coming in Jesus name . My heart is so filled with joy and I can’t type much . I want to encourage someone this morning that, don’t give up and you can do it yourself if you believe in God . He is a God who can not lie .

Congratulations.

CalcreteJB:
Can one still stay at the Airbnb if one is not going to do quarantine at least for 1 or 2wks before one secure an accommodation?

Yes, it always advised that you get a temporary accommodation where you can stay and then move around to get your permanent or long term rental place. Becks what is seen on pictures might not be what is on ground. Plus it's always better to confirm for yourself.

Jay316:
Ghost update is when u get a mail from IRCC that ur application has a new message or update and that you should check ur GCKEY only for you to open it and see no message or change in your application.

it means ur application is being worked on by a Visa officer and probably something has been updated but it does not reflect on ur GCKEY.

I never got one till I got PPR but some ppl get even up to 5 ghost update before their application is finalized

You dont get a mail for ghost update. You only log on to see or notice.

Tre20:
I was refused last night
Their reasons are much oh

Sorry for the delay Tre20.

kemmyk:
@Lianna, I actually saw the post back then when the guy was issued a PPR and was rejected back and he never told us what exactly he did wrong for that to happen.

They were two sisters with same sponsor, their mum. One was denied and the other issued ppr. Only for the one that was issued ppr to be emailed that her ppr was issued in error. I think it was reversed when they realized it was same sponsor for both and they were sisters and the funds won't be enough for both applicants

Enjay316:
please wake me up ooooooooooooooo

ppr alert

cant believe it.

God is too wonderful
infact I dont know where to start from.
I will give u ppl an epistle trust me.
when I saw two messages, I wanted to faint cos it's only refusal that comes this fast.

August 24 application.

Congrats Bro

shams040:
Please help ooo. I submitted my wife's SOWP and to date they dont send her biometric request and dont allocate UCI for her. I have sent several webforms but dont get any response.

Please what else can we do?

Use the report technical problem link. You may get a response

Teemenzo:
This is too high ooo. I also paid the balance of my first semester today in Access Bank at 412.

Did you say high? No it's not. That is USD rate. CAD to USD is around 1.2 to 1.21 conversion rate. So dividing the USD rate by say 1.21 should give you the official Canadian dollar rate which is 341.sumthing

This place dry oh..... No showers talk less of rain. Mbok .. Dear God, we have been on this mountain for far too long. Please do a new thing. Open the flood gates of heaven. Let the PPR rain begin. IJN amen

pumpernickle:

I applied 18th July and my eligibility started since 5th August. But still we wait. It will surely end in praise.IJN. Just keeping hope alive.

Gracefunmy:

Biometrics- July 6th.

NSE submission without any request from IRCC- July 20th (IELTS band 7 and MBS).

Upfront medicals - July 27th (updated as passed).

Sent them a passionate appeal on Monday via email and webforms notifying them of the commencemet of studies via ADM (virtual) , attached my enrollment letter and School statement of account.. I got a response back that they are only priotizing mails marked as urgent with processing time been exceeded.
Sent same mail on Tuesday, marked it as urgent and decided to wait for their 24 to 48 hours response timeline as communicated in their initial response .
To the glory of God, BVL dropped yesterday evening and my passport request mail came in this morning..

Congrats.... Another July applicant. It's getting really closer

PaPaJayden:
My Timeline
Guys, I'm overjoyed. May everyone on this stage who is waiting and hoping for the same miracle feel the excitement and relief I felt today, after such a long time.
This mission began in the year 2019. I was in the Express Entry pool, and there didn't seem to be any hope. I had also applied to provinces in Canada for their various PNPs, but had never received a response.
I started thinking about going using the study route in December 2020. I began researching into it — on the internet, on YouTube, on Instagram, and so on.

Long stories short:
Applied, May 15.
Biometrics, May 20 (Silence followed afterward).
Medical Request Letter, September 9.
Medicals Done September 13 (I nearly fainted when IOM called me for a repeat chest X-ray the next day).
Medicals Updated to Passed, September 17.
BVL & PPR, October 1, 2021.

Documents Submitted:
o LOA University Canada West.
o SOP (I spent 1 month writing this and after submission, I still felt like I should have added some more info… lol…).
o MBA, 2 years.
o I am self-sponsored, with 8 years of banking experience, and 3 years of FMCG experience.
o My Salary Account bank statement (MBS, 250k balance, turnover N35m, for 8 months period thereabout, and account is 8 years old).
o Another personal savings account statement. I use this account mostly for transacting my private business (MBS, nearly 13M balance, turnover N140m, for a 9months period, and account is more than 5 years old).
o Company registration docs (I didn’t attach the company account statement. However, there were series of funds transfers from my company account to my individual account)
o Receipt of CAD 7900 tuition paid.
o Certificate of Occupancy of bequeathed landed property from my dad to me, after his passing (land allocation receipt, survey reports, ground rents, etc. included).
o Marriage certificate.
o Birth Certs for my two kids.
o Family Pictures, showing my wife, kids, and me.
o O’level, Degree, and Discharge Certificates.
o Several Professional Certificates (NIM, NISP, ACCA Diploma in Accounting & Business, Advanced Excel Training, Business Writing, Udemy certs, EDX certs, etc.)
o Driver’s License
o 2 South Africa Visas and histories of a visit to SA
o Raised a webform and sent emails to Lagos and Nairobi for the first time 5 days ago.
o Applied & received the first GCMS note on August 24th with nearly everything blank.
o Second GCMS note should arrive in a week or two.
I'm sure I left out a lot in sharing this experience, but I hope this would be helpful to someone.
My landing gist would come next. Perhaps then I'll be able to provide a more complete summary.
Despite the fact that I discovered this site after submitting it, I've learned a lot here and feel compelled to give back.
May everyone still waiting to receive good news eventually, Amen!

Congrats.... We re going to the same school.

Ikechi17:
Goodday ,
Please I want to use Ethiopian airlines to travel to Calgary , but there is a stop in Dublin ,will my student visa be an issue when passing through this country . And can I pay for the airline through online means or its better to go to their ticketing office at V.I

It's cheaper when you pay online

rali123:
I must have missed it somehow, I sincerely dont understand how I could have... also is there a way I can go back to that series of questions answered?

Thank you so much, will do that right away.

Get the form, complete it and send via Webform as corrected/updated form

fatukay123:
Hello guys,

Pls, for those that has travelled to CA with ethiopian airline. Pls is TRANSIT VISA required at the airport during verification of documents?

I am asking because, most of the Ethiopian flights traveling btw now and January are going to have a layover at Dublin which I am skeptical mayb a transit visa will be required.

Pls kindly share ur experience if you have recently used the airline.

Thanks alot

No you don't need transit visa. The stop at Dublin is for refuelling. It's not a long stop.

Lizabeth36:
The course was changed by the school

Could be a typo. Please engage the school to correct it

Sandra734030:

Thanks for your urgent response

didnt you submit your SOP?

gracedson:
Thank you for the explanation.
I supposed there will be a receipt after using it, So
Is it cheaper than using Bureau De change ?
Is it compulsory one uses the PTA ?
Will Immigration at the POE ask for the PTA ?
Can I show cash I got from Beareu De change as my Travel allowance ? (you know it doesn’t mostly have receipts or recognized receipt)

you get dollars at official rate of about 413. So it make a lot of difference.

I am a silent reader, good work gurus in the house, l am a June 22 applicant,l submitted MBS and printed copies of my bank statements, the embassy just asked me yesterday to summit an illegible (readible)proof of accounts and MBS. my question is that should l summit an updated pof or should summit the one l used when applying.

Please before you do mbs make sure the money is still intact. Cos with mbs even if you request for a period when money was still in your account, it will still tell them the available balance in the account.

Mummy4life1:
I sent the password to them via webform and mail already. I made a big mistake.

If you can get money to pay into the accounts, please do so, then do for the same period and keep sending the new ticket and pray they pick the the more recent one.
