NwanyiOkpa: It has finally ended in praise for me. God bless Frankrobbn, Justmellow, and the many others that have been giving me hope and answering all my plenty of questions. Note that I used an agent or my application because i was too busy with work to continually study the tips on this thread and apply them. I am a second-time applicant.
Timeline: January 20th: Medical done January 27th: Application submitted with all NSE requirements- Sponsor's 1-year Mybankstatement of about 11million, IELTS result with 7.5 band, and Medical result. February 20th February 26th: Second ghost update March 4th: Third ghost update March 9th: Fourth ghost update May 4th: PPR and correspondence letter
Reason for the first refusal: They said that my finance wasn't sufficient even after i submitted an account statement of 12million and paid my first-semester tuition.
How i tackled the refusal: I paid the full tuition for the first year, provided the sponsor's account statement of 11million and i also made a notarised affidavit of sponsorship signed by my sponsor. I did not use a notarised affidavit of sponsorship in my first application but i used an affidavit from the high court. A friend advised me to use a notary lawyer for my affidavit and so far, everyone that i know that used a notary lawyer was approved. Notarised documents are recognized worldwide.
Documents submitted: All IMM forms Tuition payment receipt CAD$21,000 notarised affidavit of sponsorship notarised affidavit of good behavior police report IELTS result medical slip letter of explanation passport photograph data page of passport sponsor's birth certificate (sponsor is my brother) CAC document for my business Employment letter Recommendation letter
NOTE: I used an agent for my application. There are a few agents that knows what they are doing. My agent did not hold back my login details like other complained about.
I got admitted into about 7 schools in the USA also but I decided to go to Canada for reasons best known to me.
God wey do am for me go do am for una.
I am so excited. As i dey type sef, my fingers dey shake. Immediately i logged in and saw that my application has been updated i was like; "these people with their ghost updates again" before i clicked on the application and saw my correspondence letter and PPR. I immediately ran and woke my dad from sleep to break the good news to him. He has always been supportive. Super congratulations to you!!! |

ajikaz2003: ###### LONG POST ALERT ######
It’s Testimony Time
Guys, I wish to share my success story in order to encourage others who have been delayed. First of all, I thank Mr. Frankrobbn1, Mr. JustMellow, Mr. Lekiboboe, and other contributors for their selfless services here. I also appreciate some people who have been trying to answer questions in the absence of the gurus, but most times your answers are wrong and misleading.
Secondly, I like to thank Mr. Frankrobbn1 again because he made efforts to ensure I get approved this time, after 2 previous attempts. He is truly a guru. From the choice of course, to choosing the University, including review of LOE & IMM forms, with covering all possible refusal technicalities in my LOE. I appreciate your help, Mr. Frankrobbn1, Almighty Allah will bless you.
1st Application - Online (Did it myself)
- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting. - School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta - Sponsorship: Self - Application submitted – October 9, 2019 - Application refused – November 6, 2019 - Refusal reasons: Family ties and Employment situation
2nd Application - Online (Done by a Canadian Immigration Lawyer)
- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting. - School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta - Sponsorship: Self - Application submitted – November 29, 2019 - Application refused – January 28, 2020 - Refusal reasons: Family ties and Purpose of visit - GCMS Notes: No evidence on file of PA’s acceptance to Master of Accounting as stated (VO made a mistake here and we pointed it out in the new LOE), and the Applicant’s plans of study appear vague and poorly documented.
3rd (Approved) Application - Online (With all NSE documents)
- Course changed to: Master of Management – International Accounting & Finance - School changed to: University of Windsor, Ontario - Sponsorship: Self - Intake: September 2021, but was changed to May 2021 while my application was in progress - Application submitted – February 10, 2021 - Submission confirmation – February 10, 2021 - Upfront medical approved – February 16, 2021 - Eligibility review started – February 17, 2021 - Ghost update 1 – February 24, 2021 - Ghost update 2 – February 26, 2021 - Ghost update 3 – March 3, 2021 (GCMS shows that LOA was confirmed this date) - New LOA for May 2021 – March 19, 2021, sent via IRCC & Kenya Webforms March 20 - Follow-up emails – Started March 22, 2021, twice a week to Kenya, later to London, and Beijing. - Email acknowledgement – Received once only from Kenya on March 22 with application still in process. I realized there are 2 types of acknowledgements: (1) Active review: if you receive this, then your application is not almost finalized yet, (2) In process: this means your application is in advanced stage. - Ordered GCMS notes (through a colleague in Canada, I think it’s faster this way) – March 31, 2021 - PPR & BVL Received – April 12, 2021 - Passport received by VFS Abuja – April 15, 2021 - Passport stamped and Counterfoil received – April 15, 2021 - UPS picked up passport – April 15, 2021 - LOI received – April 16, 2021 - UPS delivered passport – April 19, 2021 - GCMS received – April 19, 2021 - Application Visa Office: Nairobi Primary & Windsor Secondary, but application was finalized by Lagos. PPR & LOI came from Lagos.
Lessons learnt: (1) Career progression is very important, (2) Significance of fund and its accessibility cannot be over emphasized, (3) Home ties carry heavy weight, especially family/economic/volunteering, etc (4) Travel history is an added advantage for matured students like me (40+), Lagos VO acknowledged this in the GCMS notes.
Documents Submitted
(1) Client Information (with a table of content) - Letter of Explanations (7 pages) - Education certificates & transcripts - CV - Employment documents (past & present), including awards & pay stubs for present job - Statements for liquidated Investments to back up 2 huge lump sums (this is very important) - My wife’s letter of introduction & support, Marriage certificate, kids’ birth certificates, wife & kids’ NIN documents, wife & kids’ passports & visas, Family & wedding pictures - Investment document in my wife’s name to show money will be available for the welfare of my family when I am away - CAC documents for my businesses - Professional certificates, including copies of Financial Statements I have signed before - Documents to support volunteering activities, both religion & sports - My Car document - Travel history documents, old passports with visa & stamps - NSE documents
(2) Proof of Fund (with a table of content) - $4 CAD tuition fee deposit - 1 year MyBank Statement Certificate - 1 year regular Bank statement with fund more than my entire tuition fee + LE + Miscellaneous - Pension RSA Statement with reasonable balance - Investment letter in my wife’s name - Documents for Residential Properties with Valuation reports and proof of rental Income
(3) All the 3 IRCC Forms (Well reviewed by Mr. Frank)
Parting notes (1) Prospective applicants must be patient (2) Do not disturb IRCC office if your application has not exceeded processing time or your resumption date is not approaching or your tuition payment deadline is not due soon (3) It seems Airlines from India & Pakistan aren’t allowed to enter Canada now, so IRCC may shift attention to the Applications from Nigeria, please get set for your good news (4) Endeavour to go the way of NSE (5) I feel sad when I read negative comments about Nigeria here, please let’s stop it. It will come to haunt you or other Nigerians. Every country has her challenges, please let’s speak well of our country
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE AWAITING GOOD NEWS Congratulations!!! |

elizyous: LONG POST ALERT!!!
Only a fool will say that there is no GOD! I have seen him at work in my life and I am a living testimony that He answers prayers in line with His will for you and me.
This journey started 2years ago when I initially wanted to do express entry but my score wasn’t high enough. I wrote IELTS back then and got an 8,8,8,6.5 in S,R,L and W respectively. I contested the writing score and to God’s glory, after 3 weeks it came back approved and my writing score was increased to 7 bringing me to an overall band score of 8.
Fast forward to last year October when I suddenly decided that I wanted to try the study route out and saw a course I like but it was one week to the deadline. I quickly gathered my documents and submitted a few days before deadline. I applied to just one school with faith. To GOD’s glory, I got the admission! 2nd hurdle crossed lol.
I was advised by a friend to ready up everything about packaging my application from Nairaland and I turn this platform to my new bible, digesting every detail from Thread 13 all the way from writing my SOP to how I arranged my documents. I even read from someone’s testimony here, to use my office email when applying which I also did. Thank you all for your immense contributions on this platform. You are saving lives!!! I packaged my application without using any agent, all to the glory of GOD ALMIGHTY. I arranged my documents using table of contents for each section as advised here. Funny part is that when I submitted my application with full NSE, I was expecting that in one month, my visa would have arrived. This one became a serious test of faith but God is always faithful. Imagine being sent for biometrics 1month after applying as against the usual 1 week of other people. I sent webforms and emails once every week, all the way to the same day I got my PPR and they kept responding with their usual email of its actively under control.
One thing I would suggest is that if you are yet to do your medicals, pls do and send to them. It saves you a whole lot of waiting because when they are checking ur eligibility, rather than sending u to go and do medicals which will take more time, its approved immediately.
My timeline is below:
Application Date: February 4th, 2021 (I submitted my application with all the requirements for NSE route) Upfront Medicals: February 26th, 2021 Upfront medicals passed: March 2nd, 2021 Biometrics Request Date: March 5th, 2021 Biometrics Done: March 8th, 2021 Request for MBS: April 9th, 2021 Submission of Additional Document (MBS): April 12th, 2021 Eligibility review started: April 13th, 2021 PPR and BVL!!!!! April 22nd, 2021
As at yesterday morning, I was still begging God to give me this as my birthday gift and lo and behold at 9:23am, my love letter dropped!!! I laughed, cried and rolled on the floor in my office. I couldn’t sleep all night, my mind has been racing on different things, truly-problem no dey finish, lol. Please pardon my long epistle.
God is too faithful to fail! He did it for me and will do it for everyone on this platform that is expecting. And to the gurus in the house who constantly help and give advice, may GOD bless you and grant all your hearts requests. AMEN Congratulations!!! |

nessamimie98: Hi I am from Nigeria I did my undergraduate in your so basically I have uk degree and currently want to do a post graduate course in Canada do u need to take ielts and what easy way to get my visa done and approved faster You could go through the NSE route to get your visa. It's "faster" according to them. NSE requires you provide IELTS result of band 6 in every section as well as a mybankstatement certificate from your sponsor (or you, if you're self sponsored). I think it also requires that you are currently a resident of Nigeria (I'm not entirely sure about this) Hopefully someone else can clarify this information. |

DannyD12342: Thanks for all the congrats. But please is it possible to renew my passport now and under one week I don't know that it's possible within a week. That would probably depend on the immigration office you'll be renewing at because of factors such as scarcity of booklets. I would suggest you find out specifics peculiar to the office you'll be applying for your renewal. There's a thread called "Cost Of A Nigerian International Passport" here on Nairaland. I would suggest you check it out as there would be more information there that would be helpful. I hope this helps. |

Pee2Jay9: Patience isn't one of my virtues so I struggled with this process but I thank God it worked out eventually.
1st Application: Visit visa refused in 2018 Study permit application - 10th July 2020 GCMS notes - 21st September, stating absolute rubbish that didn't tally with my submissions, I'm self sponsored but they said I'll deplete family savings plus other crap they wrote. I started sending plenty webforms and emails, requesting that my application be reviewed as the assessment on the notes were very wrong, all to no avail Official refusal - October 2nd 2020. Reasons stated for me - family ties, personal assets, purpose of visit including travel history, lolz.
2nd Application - 16th October 2020 Upfront medical - 30th November 2020
NSE request for only ielts - 1st December. I replied next day telling them that I can't write cos I'm unavailable. Then I merged my LOE as to why I can't write + my medical sheet + tuition receipt of $2,500 to UoR and submitted in the column provided for NSE. I first used UoM LOA to apply but later adviced them to continue processing with UoR LOA since the previous admission was valid for only the winter term, no deferral. I haven't read of anyone doing this for an ongoing application and was strongly advised against doing it but I sent it anyway.
Medicals passed - 16th of December 2020. 17th March 2021 - IRCC finally replied one of my several emails (that processing has exceeded standard time) asking for ielts again. I had to promised them that I'll go and write it and send the upper week. IELTS exam - 27th March 2021 but then, I didn't know that BVL & PPR had dropped on 26th of March 2021 UPS 2-way courier to Abuja - 29th March 2021 Passport returned to me - April 2021
Documents submitted for both applications: All IMM forms In the Admission section, i uploaded: Admission letter, Correspondence with school and application receipts BEng certificate and transcript Certifications - COREN, NSE, IPMP, NYSC
In the passport section, i uploaded: International passport with visas to Singapore, UAE and Ghana Birth Certificate and LGA certificate Biometrics documents
Proof of funds section, I uploaded: myBank statement ticket, amount to tally with a table I created to show all funds required for the duration of my study My several Investments and pension accounts showing that the funds for my studies is only a percentage of my networth, all to prove assets and economic ties. Employer's Letter of introduction Payslips Tax Certificates Business agreements and Investment Certificates - I think some of these were unnecessary especially the FX investments.
Client info section, I uploaded: Table of content for documents , followed by LOE Age declaration documents for parents Birth certificates for siblings An inauguration brochure for my dad as ICAN chairman, that had pictures of my family members as professionals in different fields My personal land deed, survey and receipts Proof of car ownership, explained as assets Updated CV, Work ID card Congratulatory emails and awards from work, some had pictures from expatriate supervisors, an award from global Manager Employment history - all my promotion documents and offers from past and present
In summary, what I did differently was to only subtly rebut the previous reasons with same documents used for the first time (even the myBank statement was the old one I reused with no money in my UBA account sef, but I got a letter from Stanbic asset managers attesting my finances, and submitted SOA from 2016). I also paid $2,500 as part of my tuition, just to show commitment of some sort.
The Letter I wrote for the second application was termed LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION, telling the VO to refer to their error in the previous application and that I meet their requirements. I showed my POF budgeted as $50k (a % of my total) to cover the entire 2 years of my study - $15k tuition, $25k for living expenses & $10k flights and miscellaneous, as I'll be self sponsored. Home ties were parents, siblings and friends, Stanbic asset management Investment letter, UK-DION investment certificate to be receiving monthly ROI to cater for unseen events while studying (all to show that I'm not going there to work), Pension, Landed property & Car. I studied Chemical Eng. and going for MSc. in Industrial as a progression in my career.
The gist: When the GCMS notes came in that first time, I feel into depression cos I couldn't fathom how poorly my application was assessed but I found strength, after many hard days, to maintain my faith, holding unto the fact that God won't leave me half-way. I reached out to plenty lawyers to just go straight to JR cos up till now, I don't understand what went wrong with that first application, considering that I had studied this thread from part 13 and know what was obtainable. I wrote my LOE using every refusal reason as subheadings and addressing each as it applies to me, but then... I learned some lessons - so much is outside my control, God is faithful so I should depend solely on Him than trust my own understanding, In such cases, sound more sympathetic than professional.
Upon seeking JR approach, one lawyer just advised me to reapply first and we'll take it up after the second time. Now, God perfected it. To all hopefuls, God doesn't put to shame those that put their trust in Him. I literally gave up plenty times and even stopped going to church, but His mercy and reckless love won't just give up on me. I even prefer traveling now than that December I had wanted, God's time is really the best and I thank Him for how it turned out.
Thanks to everyone that replied my enquiries and emails, I really appreciate y'all. I've made great friends from this forum, It's really overwhelming and I'm grateful to y'all. Congrats and shout out to Lekiboboe (my amazing and selfless paddy that have always been just a chat away) and NairaLuck (my first application set-mate that it happened for before me, I'm happy it ended in praise for us all), IRCC made me weak to even type here again. Thanks to Frank (u literally had to stand by for my unending emails) and Dommakaveli - this 2 argued one time on one enquiry I raised, lolz, all follow o. Shout out to my UoR crew. I thank u all so much for believing in my application and wishing me success. God will always show you favor. Ehem, Brace up, landing gist to follow� Congratulations to you! |

Laraba083: Hello, I’ve been a silent reader here.
I got admission to University of Manitoba early last year for Fall 2020, that was April 2020. I applied for a second degree program. I was doing all the application innocently cos that was my first application. I was just doing things the way I thought it was done didn’t follow any steps or guideline, only what IRCC stated on their website. I think that kinda affected my application cos I submitted very late, anyway, I started the process late July and I submitted late September. I discovered this group late last year when I got NSE request.
I used my Uncle, mum’s brother as sponsor, I submitted just what I was asked, no extra. Though I added some certifications I had like entrepreneurial skills and professional courses, then SOP that was a final last minute addition. My uncle only submitted a letter of introduction stating who he was and a letter of Sponsorship then his SOA. So at a point I was so scared that I didn’t submit enough documents but I’m thankful for where I am at this point.
My Application Timeline goes thus,
- Applied : 24 September, 2020 - Biometrics Request: 25 September, 2020 - Biometrics done : 27 October, 2020 in Lagos - Got NSE Request: 12 November, 2020 - NSE submitted: 10 December, 2020 -Medical request: 09 February, 2021 -Medicals done: 10 March, 2021 -Medicals Passed: 18 March, 2021 -PPR and BVL( Dropped around 5:30am or so, saw it when I woke up for Subhi): 23 March, 2021 submitted same day using Dhl, I sent it to Abuja and paid for two way courier. Vfs got it the next day and sent it to IRCC immediately. Counterfoil: 25 March, 2021 Passport was ready for pickup the same day, had to start calling Dhl again LOI: 26 March, 2021 Dhl picked up on the same day, Friday Got my passport on Monday, yesterday, 29th of March, 2021.
I’m really just grateful for the whole thing cos at a point I gave up and just continued with my life. But God did it for me after several fasting and prayers, Alhamdulillah. My last resumption date is May 3, 2021 and I’m hoping to travel before then. Though I have some questions.
Cos the way U of M is that you only pay for the courses you registered for, so do I have to pay tuition fee before I travel? And do I need an enrollment letter before I can travel. Also the SOA, showing proof of funds, should it be mine or my sponsors?
I need to know the exact documents I need to show at the airport here in Nigeria and also at the POE. Cos I really still don’t understand how the whole thing works.
Thank you
For everyone still hoping for their good news, I wish you all the best. Congratulations! |

onomss: Please someone should answer me. Thanks You get the option to upload medicals only if in your questionnaire, you state that you have done medicals before. Since you stated that you haven't done medicals before, the option to upload the medical report will not be available to you until they request for it. However, if you decide to do an upfront medical after you submit your application (before they request for it), you will be required to send the e-medical slip you are given via webform and email. So... No, there is no problem. I hope this helps. |

Lekiboboe: No it is not a regular passport photograph, it will be a Soft Copy Digital Passport with the Canada Study Permit Specification in .JPG format
Go to google and type
"digital passport specification canada study permit"
You will see the specifications (Length, Breadth face positioning etc.) there. Your Photographer will help u with that, both for the capturing & editing of the passport photograph to the Canada Study Permit specs. Thank you for your response. I have checked it. When my brother submitted his application, he didn't submit the specification required. Will this account for a denial? Or what can he do? |

Hurllarh: I’ll advice you to withdraw your application immediately and reapply then declare your previous refusal. If you were caught with a misrepresentation which is what this exactly is to VO, then you’re gonna get banned for 5 years from all these 5 countries; USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand and even after the ban the chances for you to get visa to these countries will be like really really minimal. So if you just submitted your application, I would advice you to withdraw it and reapply with proper informations. Hi I was refused a UK visitor's visa when I was 12 some years back. Does that mean in my application I am to state that I have been refused visa before? |
