Good news guys, my PPR just came in at 7:46am this morning. It can only be God, I am still in shock. My story is a special one, my Bachelors is Law, I have an LLB, BL (Law School), and Masters in International Business, but I applied for Diploma, not even Post Graduate Diploma, but Diploma in Digital Business Management. I wasn't even aware of this forum when I applied in September, I just followed a YouTuber (Noel Abingwa) and learnt the steps and documents needed when applying for my visa through one of his Videos. I contacted him and he was kind enough to share his statement of purpose/ letter of explanation with me. As I started getting anxious, I decided to join this forum 30th December and it was so encouraging because I kept getting alot of support, more especially from @Makano.

IRCC records confirm that your application was received on September 6, 2021, and is being processed at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi. Criminality checks and medical examination results are passed, however, further review is required before an eligibility decision is made. This means that the case is no longer straightforward and will, in most situations, lead to additional delays in processing. Once a decision has been made, officers will be in a position to determine next steps in processing

Thank you for answering my questions, more especially in the past two days after the message I got below from the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship's office on the 18th of January 2022.

@Makano encouraged me that "If truly you are truthful with your application and you didn't hide any information from them, then expect a positive decision from them"

Thank you @PatrickOkunima @olasubomy @mrprolifik @VIKKYIFE @Teemenzo @Time2soar1 @Predator188 who helped give me answers to my posts as well.

I even ordered for GCMS notes on the 4th of January but its still not out.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by FAVANA: 8:59am On Feb 21, 2022
Good morning,
Was your application refused based on financial status only? Did you request a GCMS note to see the exact reason for Denial? Well, if it's finance I think you could include more funds, I have a scholarship too but still submitted my bank statement and all.
About your pastor's company supporting you, it depends on how much the company has and you should be able to prove to the VO that the company needs your skills to spend so much money to send you to Canada, it has to be reasonable.

Here is what I think, let's hear what the others have to say.
lilangel20:
Hello Guys
Thank you so much for your inputs and all...
I have a question and I would really love all contributions.
My Visa was refused as a fully funded student( would still have like 11,000cad after school fees is removed)

I intend to reapply but this time my pastor who is also the ceo of an energy company( msc is in energy) wants to support my application.

He intends to give me employment to start in January as I was last employed as a digital marketer in april 2021 and allow the company support me. I.e he intends to show the companys bank statements, cac and all.

I do not want to complicate my application as I am totally dependent on my funding.

Please i need opinions on how to go about this.

I received my first heartbreak this morning .Please what is next step.



Message below



Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.

PPR Alert Guys!!!

P:S The application is for my fiancée. However, I was 100% involved in the second application. (we started dating in 2021)

Second Application - November 5th, 2021
First application in 2020 was refused based on purpose of visit, home ties and personal assets.

A quick backstory he has was studying for Masters and applied for a Post Graduate Certificate. He disclosed this in his first application.

What he I feel he did wrong in the first application:
1. He was not done with the Masters at the time he applied in 2020. (He studied in an Asian country)
2. His course of study did not really align with his background and he did not properly explain the reason for choosing that program in his SOP.
3. The Masters program is higher than the PGC Certificate.
4. Personal assets ( no need going into much details). We all know how IRCC operates with this refusal reason. Having enough money is not really a guarantee.

What we did differently:
1. Requested for GCMS notes, analyzed the refusal reasons and how to tackle them.
2. Changed course of study to a more related course. Though we still maintained a PGC
3. Had his sponsor Deposit his living expenses in his account.
4. Wrote a well structured letter of explanation and statement of purpose highlighting how the course of study will impact him and his home country and the opportunities available in this field in Nigeria.
5. Attached landed documents.
6. Added a co-sponsor for elaborate demonstration of proof of funds.
7. Prayed fervently.

Note: We still went ahead with the application despite him not being done with the Masters still. Although, it was properly explained in the LOE.(for once strong head don good).

*Application Submitted: November 5th, 2021
*Submission Confirmation: November 6th
*Medical Request: 21st January, 2022
*Medicals done: 2nd February
*Updated to pass: 4th February
*Eligibility review: I really don’t know when it started. It is still showing we are reviewing whether you meet the requirements.
*PPR and Correspondence Letter : 9th February, 2022.

Last last na God run everything. All glory belongs to him alone!!!

All IMM forms
Letter of Admission
Bank statements (MBS) of both sponsors and applicant
Employment Letter
Landed documents (Survey plan)
Tuition receipt
Affidavit of Support

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by FAVANA: 5:47pm On Feb 09, 2022
Google will help you cheap.. Visit each school site, check for the course you are interested and you will see if its OPEN for September or not[/quote]
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by FAVANA: 3:19pm On Feb 09, 2022
As in, me too I have started online, it seems I have studied past the deadline for school fees refund sef plus I cannot even have access to my scholarship. May God help us all.
dollymon:
Applied Oct 14th
Upfront Medicals updated ending of Oct
Eligibility review started on the 20th of dec or 21st

I am even more pressured because I have started classes online on the 10th of jan, although my school has a refund policy in case of visa denial ( hopefully not) but this IRcc delay is not even allowing me focus on classes as much as I'd want to.

These are the email addresses I have as well. Let's just keep disturbing them and intensify our prayers. We will write our own testimonies here soon.

I am a silent reader here and I joined after I submitted my application, although I avoided this place for a while because of anxiety. After several emails, mp sent mails as well, I have started classes online for Fall 2021 at lambton college, currently doing the winter term, just last week Thursday I was asked to send my updated letter of acceptance but I sent enrollment letter instead , then I received PPR this afternoon. This is my timeline.

Biometrics- May 24th 2021
Upfront medical - April 28th 2021
I don’t know when eligibility started.
Updated letter of acceptance request - Feb 3rd 2022
Passport request- February 7th 2022

See ehn I was so scared, I trusted God but I’m human right? But God said his ways are not my ways.
I submitted all the necessary documents even sent my fall transcript, please whatever you do just keep trusting God.

Please who’s going to Lambton College (Sarnia campus) or is already a student there? Hit me up. Thank you.
