My application was handled by Mr Frank of F and R Global. When I wanted to start this process, I planned to use an agent from the get go because i wanted a smooth and successful application. My partner kept insisting on mr Frank, that she has read so many reviews on Nairaland and he’s the one she’ll work with. So we contacted him and right from the first call until the final approval, I felt at ease. It was a smooth transition and as soon as all my docs he asked for were ready, he submitted immediately and did a few check-in with my partner (I have a tight schedule, so she was basically the point of contact). There were some things we didn’t consider at first which I’m certain added to the successful approval of my study permit, Mr Frank brought a professional insight into this process. Even after the approval, he has checked in to guide us on the appropriate steps to ensure my passport is stamped and my migration to Canada is smooth. I highly recommend him, the whole process was a smooth one and approval was faster than expected.
Thank you @frankrobbn1 of F and R Global

BobLeeSawagger1: Hi Guys,
I’m back to share the last part of my story! God has finally done.
I started the journey I 2019 when I applied for the SINP nominee program. In January 2021, my application was rejected based on POF. Why? Not because I’d do not show the requested amount, but because I transfer part of the money to an investment account and failed to show the proof as well as LOE.
Due to my determination, I applied again that same month. Fortunately for me, I received another ITA in February 2021, and submitted a complete application in April 2020.
I decided not to put all my eggs in one basket, in the same month of February, myself and my spouse applied to four different colleges (paid application fees) and got admitted to two of the colleges.
Despite having ongoing SINP application, we decided to pursue student route. I reached to different agencies both home and abroad to assist with the student application and also include my family. Most of the feedback centered around me applying first and after three months, my family can join me.
Because I don’t want leave my family behind, I decided to DIY and as God may have it, I submitted the application in April 2021 along with visit visa for spies and kids.
In September 2021, my student visa was approved along with my family visit visa.
I deferred my admission to May 2022 because I did not want to start from Nigeria.
In December 2021, I received nomination letter from SINP and submitted my express entry application on 8th of January 2022
On the first of April, I travelled along with my family to Canada.
Just last two weeks, my express entry application was approved and got my COPR last week.
This platform played a major role and I’m so gratefully.
For those that are still awaiting decisions on their application, be optimistic, it will surely come. Don’t cut corners, follow the process.
If you need any information/clarification, feel free to reach out to me at aababasola@gmail.com

But for those that have not been vaccinated or received just a single dose, negative Covid19 test done within 24 hours before departure is compulsory before they can be allowed to board. Thank you |

quin9: Hi guys back to drop my landing gist,congrats to everyone who’s gotten PPR and those still waiting,God will do it for you too.
Landing Gist Your girl is now live in Van city I flew KLM on the 20th of June at 10pm,I had paid for an extra 23kg bag(107k),had a 9 hrs layover at Armsterdam.At the Lagos airport everything was fine except one wizard seized my frozen red oil which he later gave to my sister when they were leaving(e pained me oh).Documents requested was only ArriveCAN receipt and passport. Arrived Amsterdam 7am as Against 5:40am that was scheduled coz the flight was delayed.No document was asked just passport and boarding pass was checked,I found a comfortable chair to sleep,connected to Wi-Fi and was able to chat with family,the 9hrs went by really fast. Amsterdam to Vancouver: Flight time was 9hrs 15mins,flight was good and full,I had more leg room,was able to use the Wi-Fi on board for like an hour,we got refreshments 4times!(a bit too much for me..lol). Boarding gate,only passport and boarding pass was required nobody asked for any other documents,no resumption or enrollment question was asked from Nigeria up to this point. Vancouver: Arrived 5:15,proceeded to the self declaration machine and the the immigration officer who directed me to the office where I’ll get my study permit,all I was asked was the letter of introduction and in less that 3mins he handed me my study permit no questions asked.Na me come dey find wetin i fit ask the guy Then I proceeded to grab my bags,connected to Wi-Fi to notify my folks and also change some dollars to CAD so I have some cash for Taxi,in all I was out of the airport in less than 30mins. Congratulations, I’m just surprised that much documents weren’t needed or asked for, like Covid vaccination card, school enrollment letter and the rest.. May the land favor you |

giftyyrealties: It's PPR guys
Ha. It hasn't been easy but God did it. We submitted our application before we found this thread and by then it was too late. I even contacted Makano and wanted him to read our SOP to know if we will get it and he was like you have already submitted, there is nothing we can do but to pray and be hopeful. We saw some documents and information others submitted that we could hv submitted with our application but it was too late. I kept pestering my husband to submit some and we decided to submit some vital information that we missed via web forms. Though we still had many to submit like invoices and receipts. We sent webforms after about 2 to 3 months of submission because I was worried. Then the wait. At first I thought it was family visa, hence the delay. Then I started seeing family visa that was approved within 2 months. Ha d tension came. I became over worried. Started praying, fasting, reminding God of his faithfulness.My husband kept saying it will be alright. Be patient. We will get it. Then it dropped on the 24th of June. Few hrs ago. What God cannot do does not exist.
First time applicants: we did it ourselves Delay is truly not denial. Submitted 9th March Documents submitted Husband ( Study Visa) Acceptance letter School fees payment slips Nin Passport Cac certificate business Tax clearance Letter of good standing for business Car documents Bus documents Landed documents, receipts and deed of assignment 2 6 months account statements PiggyVest account statement Investments certificates Wedding pictures and documents Birth cert Nysc certificate Recommendation letter from Project supervisor Pictures with siblings and parents Transcript Waec Degree certificate Pictures in Dubai Parents I'd cards Affidavit of return
Spouse ( SOWP) Husband’s acceptance letter and school fees payment Husband’s statement of account Nin Birth certificate Transcript Letter of introduction from husband Waec Degree cert Nysc cert Recommendation/ letter of introduction from 3 companies I hv worked with Change of name Newspaper publication Sworn affidavit Investment certificates Account statement Piggyvest statement Landed documents, receipts and deed of assignment Wedding pics and documents Dubai pictures Affidavit of return Parents ID CARD
I just want to appreciate everyone. Keep believing. It will definitely happen. Though d wait is draining but keep believing. God is great. I kept praying with this song every morning: there is nothing you cannot do.

gaeul: Hi Everyone, Trust you all are good...it's been 3 weeks here in Canada, resuming September 2022 and I have some tips to share;
1. If you don't have excess cash to spend, or a family member to chill with or a special reason(like in my case) no need rushing here cos Canada is expensive lol.. One million naira can fly in 3 weeks and you know you can't work till September or your start date ...
2. Tecno/Infinix/ China phones don't work with their sim here
3. Everything here is expensive, so while packing foodstuffs, if u can add Duvet cover, bedspread and pillow case cos to get good bedding is like $100+
4. Unlike UK that room and houses are fully furnished, most houses/rooms are not furnished here...You sort your room/house yourself ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png)
5. Seasonings are annoyingly expensive, so bring like 2-5packets of Knoun maggi or your preferred choice. So instead of packing rice, u can add 5 packets of knoun and if u wanna compare here, e fit reach $500 and am not joking cos u can see 5cubes worth for $2.99
6. Universal charger is very expensive here, so if u google Canada universal charger and see in Nigeria, even better cos one here plus tax is almost $50 at New Brunswick...all shop same price like say nau meeting lol
7. There is Sales tax o, lots of shock here cos I lived in UK before lol... It differs but mine here is 15%...Example: if u buy a shoe for $100, when u get to checkout, you pay $115...so prepare ur mind lol
8. Most of their indigenes are warm though
Some people might already know all these but some might not, just felt it wise to share but don't fret; Canada is a beautiful and warm place, regardless of the culture or finance shock, you will adjust pretty soon... To those planning their trip; safe journey...to those expecting PPR, All the best...
NB: Added picture of Universal charger..
Thanks for the info. Is the universal charger really important or it’s just choice. They should have multiple sockets in a room |

Toceen2022:
It's not compulsory for study permit, but could make your background check smoother especially for a first time applicant.
In Canada, it's compulsory for some students in certain courses to show they have clean police record, even domestic students too must submit it. For me I did, and I'll still need a valid one before starting my program in September. It's mandatory for any program or course that requires you to work with minors in Canada. Okay thanks |
