A very good morning to you all. It’s PPR!!

Wow! IRCC really toyed with my emotions o. In fact, I had decided my timeline would be very straightforward because of how they dragged the whole thing. It was just frustrating. But, to do that will be unfair.

Although I had submitted my application before I joined Nairaland, I must say that it’s been such a pleasure being on this platform. People are ever ready to help. Let’s all endeavor to continue with that spirit wherever we find ourselves.
I really enjoyed reading good news (which went a long way in keeping my hopes alive) and I also said a little prayer in my heart for those who were refused. All will be well.

SO…snippets of information about my application:

I am going for my Masters of Law (LLM) at Western University (London, Ontario) to resume September 1.
Please feel free to reach out if we would be neighbors! Lol

I was offered about 90% scholarship and I indicated my mum as sponsor to cover the remaining tuition fee and living expenses.

First time applicant.

To Note:

My permanent residency application which I submitted since December 2020 is still being processed. Dual intent comes in here!

General documents:

- Degree certificates/ transcripts.
- Certificate of incorporation (ONLY) of father’s company and mother’s company.
- Certificate of incorporation (ONLY) of mum’s foundation.
- Mum’s Share certificates
- CV
- Int. Passport bio data pages for parents and siblings
- Sworn affidavit of one and same person (my names are all over the place lol)
- Police character certificate
- IELTS result (L8,W,8,R8,S8.5)
- Mum’s C of O for just one property (no valuation report, etc., ONLY CofO)
- Proof of mum’s past and current employment
- Letter of support from mum (sponsor)
- Mum’s 1 year mybankstatement
- Scholarship package from my faculty

Home ties:

1. Work ID card, Letter of introduction from current employer indicating my salary, benefits, etc., (and also stating that I will be granted a study leave once my study permit has been approved).
3. I also downloaded my appraisal notes where my supervisor made very nice comments about my work in the Firm and my good character ( The appraisal notes also stated that I was recommended for promotion).
4. I am also a trustee in my mum’s foundation (the certificate of incorporation shows my name as one of the trustees)
5. Fact that my parents and 2 younger siblings are in Nigeria. I am the first child of my parents.

Proof of Personal Assets:

- 3 months payslips and statement of salary account (the balance at the time was not too significant- I only highlighted salary inflow)
- Statement of Retirement savings account and reference letter from Stanbic pension managers

Dual Intent:

I felt like I really needed to let them know that I would leave Canada (after my authorized stay) in the event that my PR application is refused so I added a bit more documents like:

- Character reference letter (from a former employer) who is also a notary public.
- Affidavit of good conduct stating that I will abide by the relevant laws and would not stay in Canada beyond the authorized period.
- I also stressed in my LOE, my frequent travels to the US and UK over the years so they know I will respectfully comply with their immigration laws and not overstay illegally.

Timeline:

- Application Submission: 30 March 2021 with NSE documents and upfront Medicals (which I used for my PR application)

- Review of Eligibility Start Date : 14 April 2021

(Caught more than 5 ghost updates )

- Medical Request : 10 June 2021

(Informed them via webform that I had previously submitted my medicals and it is still valid)

- Medical Passed : 14 June 2021

- BVL : 8 July 2021

- PPR: 9 July 2021

God bless us all and grant us our heart desires! Happy to answer any questions!

Cheers, guys!

IRCC will not kill me with unnecessary suspense. BVL dropped this morning after waiting since June 14 after medical request. Final decision has not been communicated. Sigh

Bro, yet to do the new medicals but sent the one I had which is still valid through next month to them via mails and webforms. Basically asked them to use it as it was still valid and I could not do a new one immediately.

Congratulations!!!! I was in the same situation as you. My Medicals has been updated to pass since 14th of June, no PPR yet. :-(

I don't know how it works in Nigeria but I know of a Ghanaian colleague based in Europe who got PPR and found his passport was just about 7 months to expiration. He informed the embassy and they gave him 90-days or so (longer than the normal 30-days stated on the PPR - to submit the renewed passport. Although he is still working on getting the new passport, I suppose the application will be suspended until the passport is sent - within the extended timeline requested.

Thank you!

Good evening people,

What happens when someone gets a new passport after PPR? Do you raise a webform informing them of the new passport so they recognize the passport details once you send to VFS?

Thanks!

Hello Guys,

I got an email this morning. Thinking it was BVL (liver failed me as I was expecting two emails in quick succession as people normally get here). behold it was a medical request. Note that I had submitted upfront medical (expires in August) while applying in April (also got NSE request in late April). Not sure what to do atm. Should I resend the medical form via web form and emails or request for a new medical at Qlife?

Your advise pls.

Cc: @Lekkiboboe, Justmellow, Frankrobbin and all comrades pls

Hi! Same thing happened to me. Just upload it via webform explaining to them that it is still valid. I did that and my medical was updated to pass.

Hi, like it is commonly said on this thread, no two application is the same. I am giving you an answer based on my own personal experience. ( 4 weeks after I received a medical request).

Hi thanks! How long after your medicals was updated to pass? Since you said it took 4 weeks from medical request.

@Munando: I think it depends on the stage of the EE. If it is pre-ITA, not an issue because one is just in the pool swimming, so to speak. But if post-ITA, then it becomes an issue because a formal/official application has been submitted for PR. My humble opinion.

No that’s not correct. I have a pending formal PR application and I got medical request last week, of which my medical result has been updated to pass.

wow congratulations. Did u go through NSE ? When did you apply for the visa?

Yes I did. I submitted NSE upfront. Applied March 30

Hello Guys, please I just got a medical request for my study permit application. However, I submitted upfront medicals (although it was the medicals I used for my PR application that I submitted), as I was told it’s acceptable. I woke up to an update saying “my medical results is being reviewed” but got medical request about 4 hours later.

I feel the best option is to book for medicals ASAP. Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Guys, please my eligibility review started 2 weeks after I submitted my application in February ( I used NSE).
My biometrics and medicals have not been updated on my profile as “complete” and “passed” respectively, even after raising webforms.
Please note that I have a PR application so I did my biometrics and medicals last year already with no issues.
Should I be worried or is this normal? Also I was getting a lot of ghost updates for a while, but now, nothing. Any views?
