Good evening @aminat2000.

My brother is moving to Saskatoon this month for a degree in University of Saskatchewan.
Please, how can you be of help on accommodation for fee days before he can secure an apartment.

I will really appreciate.

GLORY TO JESUS!!!!! HONOUR HONOUR To MARY AND JOSEPH!!!

GOD is GOD!

Hello NLs,

IT'S PPR GUYS.

It's just like a dream. It was not an easy journey but God took control. May we all experience this same Joy. #May19applicant...

So this wait dey finish sef. Nawa for IRCC o

I will share my timeline, story and documents shortly.

Thanks!

Yes sure feel free to reach out I am open to render any assistance.

All the best!

skentelelady:


Amen. I really appreciate your way of explanation. It opens my understanding more. God bless you. I will surely contact you again

Please can I pm you ?

Ok since you are looking to secure an Mpower sponsorship, Just to clarify University of Saskatchewan does require a non refundable tuition deposit, you can only pay for tuition after you have registered for courses. Prepayment options are also available, whereby you pay some certain amount to the school for Visa purposes and they are all refundable.

For your choice of course just put in for an MSc Agric it's a direct match with your academic background, and evidence of reasonable career progression, also depending on what suits your need though

Sure you can keep up with your business even while in Canada, and this will definitely serve as a home tide. Also do well to expatiate on this to strengthen your application by providing all the necessary documents as backings too.

All the best!

It'll end in praise for us all!

skentelelady:


Amen. Thank you for your detailed response. Since I am looking at Mpower for sponsorship, Uni of Sask isnt on their list. Then their non refundable tuition deposit scared me away.

Please advise on this.

I have seen 2 courses in another Uni which MBA/MAgric in business analytics and MSc Agric. Both are 2 years in one of Mpower universities.

My question is since I am a business woman who's into agro, which would you suggest out of the 2 please? My plan is to keep on with the business even when I am in Canada. Or do you think @ bolded may complicate things?

Hello skentelelady,
Looking at your academic background in agric sci and work experience in an agro allied business, I'll strongly advise you go for an Msc in Agric sci since it's a direct match with your previous degree depending on your grade. This will save you a lot of stress and strengthen your application based on purpose of visit, you wouldn't want your application to suffer any setback based on an issue that can be avoided.

You can check out University of Saskatchewan course Agricultural Economics which cut across your stated academic background and work experience
https://grad.usask.ca/programs/agricultural-economics.php#Applicationprocess

Just an advise though!

It'll end in praise for us all!

All the best!

skentelelady:
please gurus help me to look into my case of study

I studied agric sci as my 1st degree. i worked for 10 years as administrator and manager . In the last 5 years i have been in agro allied business which involves exportation to overseas. I buy food crops from local farmers in different communnies in Nigeria, sell with my state and country as well as export.

i want to do masters now. I am looking at Msc in Agric science and MSc in International management in business analytic. Please which one would you advise i apply for based on my work experience.

Thank you for your quick response

You can try and send a mail to your course graduate coordinator or Dean for Graduate studies and explain things to them. You can also explain that affording another Application fee incase you must have made any payment might affect some of your travelling plans and also emphasize why IRCC kept mute even when you sent them emails. They should be able to reconsider. Fire all your lecturers emails... It makes no sense them telling you to reapply again, will your admission be guaranteed? What's the name of this school sef?

All the best!

stevedestiny:
I did and they said the only option for me is to reapply

You don't have to print out the forms, it's an online application so you don't have to print any form just insert the date, validate the needed forms and submit.

All the best!

It'll end in praise!

gaeul:
Please those that have filled Family Member Representative form, did you print and fill as it saying that I can't save date typed into the form

Amen o! I can't wait.

It'll end in praise #May19

I am on a journey of faith.

Princeofabia:

SHALOM

From what you just stated it's like the major weak of your application is your choice of program. I will strongly advise you go for a Graduate course related to Environmental Management to save you all these stress. Since I am not aware of your Bsc grade you can opt for Masters if you've a 2:1.

You can also check out this link for a related course in University of Saskatchewan

https://grad.usask.ca/programs/environment-sustainability.php#Program

There's Royal Roads Universitybhere too as well https://www.royalroads.ca/programs/master-science-environment-and-management?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuaiXBhCCARIsAKZLt3my37nRSAC91wMtT6unV4Uf_r-FOVJXn25LWQ5-CKQGNUtVm6rCKWkaAvnlEALw_wcB

All the best.

Greenwisher:
Hello
I need some help here

Refusal Reason: Purpose of visit
Program studied: Environmental Management
Occupation: Bakery Manager and Supervisor
Intended program: Occupational health, wellness and safety

GCMS
The study plan does not appear reasonable given the applicant's employment and education history.
I note that:
-the client's previous studies were in an unrelated field
-the client has previous studies at a higher academic level than the proposed studies in Canada
-the client's proposed studies are not reasonable given their career path

Re-applying...
I got an admission offer from UCW but 45k CAD lo far plus reviews regarding their refund policy is not encouraging.
So I am considering the PACE(Advanced Business Management) post-grad certificate program at the University of Winnipeg
My concern is the academic progression issue raised by the VO

@JustMellow

Some early May Applicants got response last week. Hope mid and late May applicants will be considered.

It will end in praise. Stay Calm!

Annidenobeh:
Please
Has any may/June applicant gotten any update on their application?

In addition to what @bullstriker has stated
you can also draw out a family tree showing how you all are related to each other especially noting how they are directly linked to the family.

Having necessary documents like marriage certificates and birth certificates including affidavit of support, letter of employment, letter of sponsorship (Stating how much they'll be setting out to support you despite having dependents and also how you have been of help to them in the past), pay slips, family property documents if any will also go a long way to fix any issue that might arise.

Also ensure you write an exceptional and well detailed SOP as well don't leave any stone unturned.

All the best!

We are all on this journey together still waiting on IRCC. #May19applicant

I am on a journey of faith!

Geerlings:
Hello please house can an applicant of 39years old working class use 2 sponsor's to submit application? First sponsor (brother in-law) in Nigeria with a dollar company account and the second sponsor in (Cousin In-law) Canada with RBC dollar personal account please I need a response to this coz is urgent

It'll end in praise for us all! Please when did you apply?

INILARGE:
What's my faith on this.... Because I'm to summit my study permit on the 15th of August

Hello @miimssss
Finally found a same day applicant, I also applied on 19th May, still waiting and hoping for a positive response. You can order for your GCMS note so far you're the primary applicant. But we'll just have to be patient we're already 11 weeks into the processing time. At least some early May Applicants got PPR last week, hopefully we should get ours this week too.

I'm on a journey of faith.

It'll end in praise, Stay Calm.

miimssss:
Good afternoon All,

My application was submitted May 19th and I’m still waiting for a response from IRCC. I’d like to order GCMS notes to ascertain the current status of my application. However, I’m confused. I used an immigration lawyer (she submitted the application as my representative) and I would like to find out if personally ordering my GCMS notes affects my application in any way.

I advise that you leave the money in your account till when your visa is approved.

All the best!

Bigdaddy001:
Good afternoon guys
Please I want to be clear on this.
After submitting my bank statement can I withdraw from my account to do what I want to do?
Secondly, will the VO contact my bank to know the amount I have there?

Congratulations my Philosophy Brother. I tap into your blessing o. I pray that the God who has done yours will do mine.

Go and flourish in Marple Land!

My story remains a Journey of Faith!

All the best Champ!

IamTheJ:
Honorable Nairalanders,

I have finally confirmed It's not a dream; it's real. It's PPR!!!!

Got a email notification from IRCC around 9:30 am on June 27 to check my mail for a message. Without delay and with my inner eyes raised to, and fixed on, he who lives in the highest heavens, I logged in to my portal. I scrolled up slowly as I didn't want to rush it. I saw "You have 2 messages" on my dashboard, my shaky heart was strengthened a bit because, from what I have noticed from people's posts on Nairaland, PPR often comes with it's twin brother, BVL. Yet I continued scrolling up in slow motion; lo and behold, it was PPR and its twin brother. Then I glanced at the "Final decision" section and saw "Your application was approved...". Guys! Only heaven could say how large my heart dilated in joy.

I needed to take the whole day to be sure I wasn't seeing a vision or having a daydream, and share with families and friends.

Further below you'll find my timeline. But before that, it may interest you to know that my application is quite unusual. And since I joined Nairaland, I haven't seen any one similar.

To give you an idea:

1) FIRST TIME APPLICANT

2) DID EVERYTHING MYSELF WITHOUT MUCH PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (submitted my application just about amonth after joining Nairaland)

3) 38 years old with very little or no secular work experience (there's a reason for that, though). Single, but not searching yet. lol!

4) Currently not working (though was doing an online course that is not even related to my prospective program - Philosophy)

5) As a logical follow-up of no.4, NO FINANCIAL/PERSONAL ASSETS declared ( there's a reason, though). Didn't submit any personal Bank statement; just my sponsor's. (People are refused visa on the basis of lack of financial/personal assets. But I got approval even without any; what God cannot do does not exist).

6) SPONSORED BY A MATERNAL UNCLE (Mum's immediate younger brother) living and working in the US as a medical doctor. (Third-party sponsored applications get up to 95 - 98% refusal; practically all approvals I've seen on Nairaland are either self-sponsored, spouse-sponsored, parent-sponsored). But I got approval; God too strong o. When he opens the door, no one can close it.

As you can see, what we call "red flags" abound. Plus a plethora of other imperfections i noticed in my application after I had submitted, as I got more enlightened following people's inputs on Nairaland. In fact, when I read people's refusal reasons and the watertightness of approved applications, I felt there was no need to keep deceiving myself. I never gave up trusting in God, though. Tell me, then, why we can't call this a miracle from the Most High.

TIMELINE

- Application Submitted - MAY 11

- Biometrics - MAY 12 ( Lagos)

- Upfront medicals done - MAY 9 ( didn't submit the information sheet with the application)

- Upfront medicals updated - JUNE 22 (after
sending the information sheet via webforms and emails to Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja, and London around mmid-June)

- Eligibility Started same JUNE 22

- PPR and BVL - JULY 27

Total duration of my application is therefore 10 WEEKS and 2 DAYS.

I'll come back to share the DOCUMENTS Submitted (They are not that much).

Some unanswered questions on this thread will find responses with my case.

If you no Sabi pray and trust in God, begin now de learn am. If you no believe sey miracle still dey happen, you don see am now. lol!

KINDLY NOTE, HOWEVER: each person's case is unique. I tailored my LOE and I believe honesty pays. Know your case and present a tailor-made application. No complications.

Going to UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA. Someone told me amusingly that uOttawa visa applications are never turned down. lol! (Don't take this seriously, please). Na only God fit do the magic!

To be honest, I carry everyone here in my prayers. The Lord who did it for me will do it for each and everyone of you here trusting in Him. Rest assured of that. Thank you all for all your contributions on this thread. You'll surely smile soon, starting with the Fall session candidates because their case is more urgent. It'll surely end in praise!

I hope this encourages someone.

Thank you! Thank you!! And Thank you!!!

Congratulations I tap into your blessing. My PPR will definitely come.

Go and Prosper in the land the Lord has shown you.

Amen!

GodwinBC:
Firstly, let me start by giving all thanks and glory to God almighty, because He is the one that has made this possible.

There’s a saying that “to whom much is given, much is expected”. I want to thank every single person on this thread. It is your contributions and information I gathered from here that I used to process my application myself. Also, this thread saved me from depression especially hafeez…anytime I feel depressed, I just read your posts and have a good laugh.

Finally, I want to appreciate jeff5gold whose word of encouragement especially to people like myself wey no get money say it’s possible to work there and get money to pay your tuition because I no go lie people make it seem like if you don’t have money forget Canada. It’s a lie!!! Apply with faith. God go do am. Just package your application well.

Phorlly43:

I am on a Journey of Faith.

Becoted001:
Pls house,

I am trying to apply for MSc in Data science or artificial intelligence in any Canada university, although I have BSc in Economics and Diploma in Economics and Statistics with good grades and i dont have working experience related to course to study.

I will like to know if both Visa and Admission application can be granted.

Why don't you go for a Masters in Economics and statistics, it makes a lot of sense for your career progression and purpose of visit. Going for Data Science and Artificial intelligence is way outside your academic background. Hopefully if you able to get to Canada with an Msc in Economics you can always find your way around in the tech world because they will lot of options for you. Just an advise though...

All the best.

PPR loading for me Soon IJN.

I can be of assistance. What's your academic background and work experience all about?

Omnisavage:
Please is it normal that since I applied on May 17th and doing biometrics on May 24th, my background check is still saying "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." and eligibility is "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility." ? I even had to bombard them with mails and webforms before they updated my biometrics on June 28th and updated my upfront medicals on July 1. Who else is in this predicament ?

I did mine 4k in April. Wetin dey happen for this country...

God help us PPR hopefuls.
