Dear Sir/Madam,

It is my hope that you are doing well as you work diligently during these uncertain times.

As my studies begin on the (date of resumption ) at the University of ......, I am sincerely worried since my study permit application has been pending for over 12 weeks now.

This delay and experience have been affecting my current life and plan. However, I understand that schedules and times have changed over the years, but faster processing will assist me in making informed decisions for my studies.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration in this process.

Congratulations, your story is inspiring!

Hello house, I hope everyone waiting on their PPR gets a favorable response and kick off with their travel plans in time.
I will be going to the uni of Calgary and also would be glad if I can be connected with anyone who lives around to inquire about housing. Don't seem to see anything/ air bnb near the school or sort. Kindly assist, thanks.

Hi Gurus, please how does the letter of introduction thing work? So far I have only the PPR mail. I haven't received the LOI yet.

I used an RCIC agent, did not ask.

InfoPlz:


Did you use the new or old portal?

It is here!! Came in today and thank you so much for your input.

All right, Ebite2000. I am on a standby for your testimony.

Timeline;

Thank you, Lord

I applied in the United Arab Emirates since I have been living here for over 2years. As per the IRCC portal, a medical certificate was not required. I also applied using an active RCIC agent.

Submitted my complete application on May 20th
Biometrics: May 23rd and it was updated 3 hours after.
Then the wait began.....
Eligibility started on the 21st of July
Received a request for additional documents on the 22nd of July and responded the same day.
Got an update that they are reviewing my additional docs on August 8th and August 10th PPR.

Hi Ebite2000,

I wouldn't advise you against submitting an additional webform, considering the nearness of your enrollment deadline. Besides, IRCC will not penalize you for such an action.

Having secured admission into the University of Calgary for a research in the medical field, I may have my 2 cents to drop. The process is competitive with 10% acceptance rate but however he should look at considering a thesis based program and work towards being in communication with a prospective supervisor ( https://science.ucalgary.ca/mathematics-statistics/future-students/graduate/programs/statistics-msc) Securing one, having a great research proposal coupled with his CGPA will make him stand a good chance in securing an admission. The thesis based programs are fully funded but that doesn't mean you won't have to show the fund for your entire stay during your visa processes regardless. IT IS POSSIBLE!! HE CAN DO IT, I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST!!!

ayodeleajayi220:
Good morning to everyone in the house, please I'm asking for my spouse. Currently teaching Mathematics in secondary school with BSc Statistics (4.3 CGPA) and intend to apply for MSc Statistics. The Canadian universities is having in mind are:
Simon Fraser university
University of Calgary
University of Victoria.
Please what are the chances of getting admission into these universities and hope what is doing currently will not affect chances of getting Visa approval. Your inputs will be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Gurus in the space, thank you for the information you put out here. A quick one, Ircc requested for addtional information which I submitted on the 28th of last month, and my status changed to " we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements". Today I got an update "we are reviewing the additional docs you provided". I will like to know if it still takes time after this stage because the fare prices are up the roof and would want to book a space. Thanks in advance.

This week is blessed. IT IS DONE!!! I will testify, amen. To my fellow prospective students, this is our WEEK!

Good day gurus in the house. Please, is it ok to message more than one MP whose constituency is within my school's location?

PPR--I will testify next, it is settled. Amen

Amen

Gigdraft:
Hi Ebite2000,

There won't be a reply. Just a final decision, which I believe will be in your favour. *Smiling Face*

Can't wait to celebrate with you!

Thank you so much. I submitted the requested documents on the 27th of last month via my account and not through webform as it was clearly stated. As at last week, it signalled it has been received. But in still waiting for a reply.

Gigdraft:
Hi Ebite2000,

There's nothing to worry about. It's absolutely normal. Your supporting documents will be updated eventually. As a matter of fact, I would like to congratulate you in advance.

If I might ask you, how long ago did you submit the webform?

Thank you so much for your response. I will halt on sending further emails at this time. Thank you again

2pretty4u:


For them to request for additional documents means they are working on it. I wish you all the best and good news soonest.

Gurus, IRCC requested for additional documents which I have submitted weeks back. Does this mean they are currently working on it? Just want to be sure since my status has still not changed. Please.

2pretty4u:


Each family member older than 14years will be given a biometric collection letter. You can't use the same collection letter to book appointment for everyone

Gurus, I have a quick one. IRCC requested additional documents which I have submitted, what does this mean? My status is still saying ''your application is in progress ''

I stumbled on this thread a month after submissions when there was no movement with my application. I did not submit the numerous documents seen on the thread and doubted my application will be approved at a point especially home ties.

I got frustrated when my medicals was not updated for at least one month. I sent various emails to Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Abuja and filled numerous forms. My faith was tested and still I believed that God who started this will perfect it.

Documents summited include
1. Bank Statement (Salary and Savings account)
2. Payslips
3. Letter of Explanation on sums paid
4. Offer Letter from Company
5. Acceptance Letter from School
6. School fees balance payment (Submitted through Webform)
7. International Medical Insurance Certificate
8. School Certificates
9 Professional Membership Certificate

I pray for all waiting that the God that did not fail me will show up for you too.

The wait is over

24hrs to a week. Mine was within 24hrs

RelaxingEnd:
Hey, guys. After application, how long does it take for them to ask you to go do biometrics?

Amen and amen.. I will testify on this new thread.
