To God be the glory, great things he hath done! It's PPR my people.

I thank God Almighty for approving my SP application. It's only Him that can actually do it. IRCC, or the VO in charge of my file, was just a conduit for His works. I praise the name of God Almighty. Thank you Jesus!

I specially thank my spouse. I understand you just always want the best for the family. God bless you real good.

And now to the big masquerade, Makano, I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and support. Your professional guidance right from the onset is part of what we are celebrating today. You sure know what a sure application is. Despite my worries about the delay, you were cock sure that the visa would be issued, and more so in August. I know I didn't take to some of your advice, but I'm sure you'd understand that was due to anxiety about out nation. Thank you Makano. I recommend Makano to you all.

Meanwhile, Makano, we go still find way resolve that good dilemma.

Worthy mentions also to Mama12345, Ketima, Tobe1997 and Toceen2022. God bless you all.

Key information about my application and my timeline below:

1. First time applicant/New portal
2. Sponsor: Spouse
3.Tuition for 2 years: CAD 31,274
4. 1.5m + 2.9m (Applicant)
5. 5m (Sponsor)
6. USD 6,888 + USD 7,000 (Sponsor)

O ya o! Make una help with visa submission process. I know it's been shared several times. I just need reassurance on the choice that can deliver my 'visaed' passport within a week. School resumes early September.

Thank you all

PPR alert!! I still cannot believe this has happened. It's been so long since I applied that it's felt like a daily delusion to keep up with this application. My case was ridiculously complex and I'm not even sure where to begin from. This is going to be long so prepare for a short tale.

In 2019, I got adopted by my father (who lives in Canada) and neither of us had any idea of how to work an application but we assumed it couldn't be that difficult if there were available funds. He sent me an invitation letter, his financial documents and a prepared itinerary of places we'd visit in order to give the application some substance.

Within a month, it was denied and that was devastating for both of us because we'd thought it was a straightforward process. In 2020, I hired an agency that had a visa approval rate of over 90% and they took a very pricey fee for the help.

One thing I will say about agents is that they can make or break your application. It is true that the average one in Nigeria is a con person but there are also very genuine agents and you just have to know where to find them. Even on Nairaland here, many end up hiring gurus to do the work of an agent so unless you're completely qualified to do the work and prepared to be as thorough as possible, please hire competent help.

They told me outright that only a study permit would give me a chance and my biological mom would have to be my main sponsor. They also told me I'd have to apply to a major university as it would ensure a tuition fee that would be worth showing IRCC I was serious about studying there. After supplying them my information, they applied to University of Concordia, Ontario and Ottawa. I got into all three within the month to study English Language.

I was going to pick the University of Concordia because it's in the same state as my adoptive father and I wouldn't have to pay for an apartment but they gave me a conditional acceptance dependent on a timely submission of an IELTS result. I found that silly and racist because my English results in WAEC and my high school transcripts were stellar and everyone knows Nigerians speak English as their main language. I probably speak English at a higher reading level than their Teaching Assistants so I responded declining their offer and applying with the University of Ottawa.

The agency wrote my letter of explanation, addressing my former refusal in a way that I probably couldn't have done and they established strong home ties.

On the 23rd of August 2021, I applied. I wouldn't hear anything till October 15th when my medical request form came in. I got that done at IOM on the 20th of the same month and when they discovered I'd had tuberculosis at 16, they asked me to do a sputum test that week to save time because IRCC would definitely want additional medical attention.

On the 26th, 27th and 28th, I got my sputum tests done. I wouldn't receive any feedback till December when I was told I passed. On January 20th, I got the final xray done and my results were sent to IRCC. I remember thinking the worst of it was over when I received yet another email to go for a pulmonary testing at a recommended tuberculosis specialist and I had breathing exercises done. She also filed a report about her findings and cleared me.

On February the 17th, my medicals changed to "under review" and I hoped they would be passed before the month's end. When February was over and I didn't hear anything, I joined Nairaland to ask questions about what I could do. I got advised to send emails and web forms so I did those but I kept getting automated responses about "being in queue for processing" or being "under review".

In April, I contacted the MP office of Montréal and they gave me information saying my application was under eligibility review. That month, I ordered my GCMS notes and saw that it was not even true. My eligibility and criminality had been passed since the same day my medical request was sent in October 2021. My medicals had been stalled in the Central Admissibility Unit for months.

On June 1st, I got a Procedural Fairness Letter for medical inadmissibility. I take supplements to ensure my tuberculosis remains latent and apparently they cost more than was allocated for international students yearly. I was asked to prepare a mitigation plan to show how I'd cover the amount which exceeded the threshold.

Since I'd paid a tuition fee of $10,000 for my Fall semester, I had Healthcare coverage. I confirmed that it was active with the university pharmacy and they redirected me to my insurance provider which confirmed that not only was it active, they had my medication and covered it. I took a letter from them and the campus pharmacy and I submitted the health care plan on July 18th.

On July 26th, I passed my medicals. Once that happened, a part of me began to feel more assured but more nervous than ever. I started sending frenzies of emails and web forms requesting a final decision as my application was set to clock one year.

This morning I was about to have breakfast when I got the "donotreply" email. While trembling, I checked and there lay my BVL, Medical surveillance form and Original Passport Request. This has been the most difficult thing I've ever done and I am grateful for everyone who contributed to making this a reality, most especially my dad.

Please what does your application is in progress and has been sent for further reviews implies cause had to contact Mp and that is the response he gave back to me and my application is 8month already.

Gigdraft:

Hi Jesusbabybae and Ogidigan1,

Commercial banks that have successfully integrated the MBS in their banking system only permit IRCC to view your 6-month transaction. This means, that they are only accorded the right to see what you want them to see. For example, June to November statement. However, I have come across two separate cases where applicants who tried to take advantage of this could not outsmart IRCC. (I am trying to shorten my response as much as I can, as I am quite busy at the moment.)

They both paid some Instagram Money Lenders (I am sure some of you have seen those ADs) to fund their account over 6 months. The agents kept paying into their accounts using numerous bank accounts to erase suspicion.

Eventually, the deeds were done. MBSes were sent to IRCC. The tickets were attached and applications were submitted. As expected, the money was returned to the owners.

Result (Applicant 1)
IRCC requested for a new SOA (which is unlike IRCC when MBS is involved) but you know, that is absolutely impossible – the money in the account is gone.

Result (Applicant 2)
He was rejected based on finance. The GCMS note also, though not explicitly stated, denotes his account was inflated for the sole purpose of her study permit.

I am still making additional research on MBS and the limitation imposed on IRCC. I will post my findings here when I am done. However, I will not encourage anyone to withdraw the same fund that they claim is for their education in Canada in pursuit of a contradistinctive objective.

Hello everyone longed time, hope we are all doing fine?
Please I wanted to ask how sensible it is for a 29 year old to be going for a bachelor’s degree?
She only has waec result and NCE
Please I really need you input
Plus is IELT necessary for study visa?

2pretty4u:

Hi Bucceryor, in addition to this why not ask the agent to also screen shot the lower part of your page, where your full name is showing with your application and UCI number to clear all doubts from you.

Tymally:


The screenshot could have been from anyone's dashboard. Unless the applicant's name is included we can't say it belongs to the complainant.

olokings:
Unless @Bicceryor have the complete screenshot showing her name, UCI, App No. and biometrics, I still have huge doubts.

One can screen shot that portion and of the page without validating the owner at anytime.

Please conduct due diligence to confirm an application was submitted on your behalf

Good morning everyone,
Please is this what the application page looks like? My agent sent me this after pressing so hard for a screenshot. Is it genuine and should I just hold or ask her to hand things over. I gave her all the required documents since March and she just submitted on June 30th after a lot of troubling from me

reliableGod:
Good morning house pls I am begging someone should pls help me with schools that accept Neco result plsssssssss someone should come to my aid thanks.

Gigdraft:


Hi Adeyinkaadetunj,

If I should start listing the tertiary institutions that accept NECO, the mod might be forced to create a new thread for me. We have more universities that accept NECO results in Canada than those that might reject it.

Carry on with your application, and if you are doubtful, write the Admission Office of your school of interest for verification sake.

@gigdraft Hi guys good morning to everyone
So I studied architecture in Nigeria and graduated 2018 with a 2.2 then i went to the uk to do a masters in construction project management which I finished earlier this year with a merit. But I would like to move to canada so my question is can i do another masters or a post graduate certificate program or it must be a phd since i have a masters?

Good morning @gigdraft and other gurus in the house,

I need you advice and guidance. I am a B.Sc holder in Computer Science (2.1), currently work as a network administrator and currently have an 2 offers at Sheridan College Canada. The first choice is Software development and Network engineering (3 yrs ontario advanced diploma) while the second one is[b] Information technology infrastructure and services[/b] (2 yrs ontario college diploma). I intend to go for this courses to acquire skills in needed to be a professional in the IT field sue to the fact that the couses are compulsory work-integrated leaning and since it aligns with my educational background. Recently i learnt that study permit can be refused based on wrong choice of program, I am afraid of beign refused of my permit if i go ahead to apply with the program at hand. Kindly advise, what can i do?

Thanks.

Timaiko:
@gigdraft and other gurus please assist.
I am at a cross road ejoor��

As it seems now, I have applied for a course that could limit my chances, as advised by a friend.
I have a BSc, i applied for an advance college graduate diploma, in which the admission requirement is a degree. (I have already paid my deposit unfortunately)

I realized I should have applied for a PGD since my grade does not meet up for a master's degree. Would you advise I proceed with the Advance college graduate diploma or find another PGD course.

PLEASE HELP!

Ogidigan1:
Hello Gigdraft,

From the bolded statement below, are you saying if I submitted a 4-month mbs, IRCC would still be able to view up to 6-months financial transaction history?

For example, If I submitted an MBS from January 2022 to April 2022, will IRCC be able to view Nov and Dec 2021 transactions OR view May and June 2022 transactions OR only have access to view Jan to April 2022?

Kindly explain further. Thanks.


"With the advent of MBS, embassies are accorded the right to 6-month period of your financial transactions. They can see your inflow and outflow. They can spot a lumpsum and query or deny your application for it. (Exline101, I hope you are reading carefully? In your own case, there was deviation from your usual inflow and outflow. And, I am confident that you employed a third-party Cooperate Account.)"
