I am not quite sure of that. I think you should communicate with the school to find out. However, if I can get any information regarding that soon, I will come back here to update you.
Best of luck!

IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISES!

Finally got my Passport back after about 4 weeks...
Timeline:
PPR: - 27th January,2020
Passport submission @VFS Abuja: - 28th January,2020
Passport return & LOI :- 25th February, 2020

I feel so relieved.
Mine was a tough wait. I hope nobody else has to wait that long.
The feeling of having the study permit is so surreal. Definitely worth the wait.

Good luck to everyone that is on this journey. Remember, What God cannot do does not exist!

quote author=glam12 post=98661562]THE LONGEST WAIT OF MY LIFE!
It can only be God!

Thanks to all the gurus! (I’m sorry, I can’t seem to remember their handles now)

I have been a silent member of this platform, but I must confess that I have benefited a lot; that is why my conscience have not allowed me to rest without coming back to share for the benefit of others, just like I was also blessed by others.
So, Permit me to share my testimony to inspire or boost someone’s hope.


• I started this journey in 2019, I started by doing a lot of research (Nairaland, etc.), university portals, websites, and all that
• Jan 2020 I travelled to my Nig uni to collect a student copy of my transcript and started applying for admission in Canada

Educational Qualifications and experience are as follows:
- B.Sc business Administration - 2004
- MBA (Human Resources) - 2014
- Total 15 years post graduate experience
- Recent experience: 5 years procurement role
- Preferred course of study - pgd Human Resources
- Canada institution - university of Winnipeg (fall - sept2020 intake)
- Conditional Acceptance letter - April 2020
• Visa application timeline:
Online Application submitted - June 14, 2020
• Documents: -
I created 7 folders and scanned all these documents into them:
Folder 1 - Study permit form (IMM ...)
Folder 2 - Data page; photocopy of previous visas. (Canada visitor visa 2019, Dubai 2015, China business tourist visa 2013) Note: all these visas were expired at the time of application
Folder 3- Letter of acceptance; Receipt of payment for school fees; MBA transcript; B.Sc transcript; A WELL WRITTEN SOP (notarized); CV; All educational certificates;
Folder 4- Financial support documents (Reference letter from bank; Bank statement for 4 months (Bal - about 10m); bank e-statement for 6 months; pay-slip, employment letter, study leave letter (note:I wrote and signed ball these office letters by myself even though I used valid contact phone no and informed my colleague); sigma pension reference letter; Narration of income letter; property offer letter (worth 30m but not fully paid for, included my receipt worth 8m); change of name documents; notarized convent letter from spouse; Narration of income letter ( as at middle March 2020 I maintained a balance of about 4m (inflow of about 20m within 3 months) then I lodged in the additional 4-6m within March to June when I submitted my application ( I tagged each payment with a narration - e.g, sale of car, sale of land, etc. )
Folder 5 - Digital passport
Folder 6 - Pre- medical (IOM); police certificate; biometric certificate (remember I had been issued a Canada visitor visa last year)
Folder 7: Family information form (IMM .....)

I would also like to state that I opted to use an agent, this is because I didn’t want my usual procrastination to delay me. I wanted someone to put me on my toes, but that even proved wrong as she was so relaxed, all he did was gave me a list of documents as seen above; I filled the forms myself, did all the paperwork myself; even SOP was written by self; after I sent the documents I was even the one putting pressure and asking... Have you submitted? Have you submitted?
Fast forward to...
AIP - August 5, 2020
Online classes - August 2020

The legendary wait started, Anxiety mixed with full time online school, full time job, etc. ‘mBe patient, No update!’’ was the only response I always get from the agent no matter the long message I type...lol it was frustrating not been able to access your application by yourself sha. The agent was also physically and worse still emotionally unavailable for me... lol
I am not discrediting any agent but personally I can say that I didn’t see the need for me to. All the agent did was to give me a list, which I had already gathered from my research here, and the IRCC website. So it’s safe to say that I paid for a list of documents, and for someone to just submit my application (waste of money I think); But work with your conviction and depending on your case too.
January 3 2021 - submitted a webform, no response till now
January 17 2021 - I requested for GCMS via getgcmsonline.com, no response on that as well till now
January 27,2021 - PPR
Submitted passport @ DHL with printer PPR letter and biometric certificate on January 28, 2021.

Canada PR/citizenship dream loading! All glory to God!

Last advice to anyone on this journey: (1) Have a trailer load of patience! (2) please spend time researching, read!read!read! Please! I’m not saying don’t ask questions or seek guidance but please make sure it is very reasonable please!

Please I am going to put this out there in advance, I might not be available to answer questions on this as I am very very busy and that is why I am doing a very detailed post.

I decree my testimony in anyone waiting on this line of miracle! It will end in praise!


Additional timeline
• Sponsor – Self (married but single applicant)
• Age – 35
• Application type - online
Also, Visa denials to UK and USA previously (I scanned this refusal letters to the agent, I don’t know if she included them)[/quote]

Me too o. I even submitted before you on 27th January. Please let’s connect to follow up on each other on further plans. I will send you an email

Great idea! I can’t seem to join by clicking the link. Pls how can I join? @deommanuel

deommanuel:
Good Evening Everyone.

There's a whatsapp group for students heading to schools in Manitoba and Winnipeg.

Kindly note it's strictly for students going that way, not Ontario or Toronto or Saskatchewan

The link below is for the WhatsApp group.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES

Qcanvs38mimi:

Since the 1st of February oh. I just want to beat this 2000 dollars quarantine. I’m tired.

Me too o. I even submitted before you on 27th January. Please let’s connect to follow up on each other on further plans. I will send you an email

Congrats @ditha. I am so happy for you especially because I also experienced how challenging this online study and visa journey has been. It’s been 6 months now from September till now. Whew! I can’t wait to get my passport back and touch down Canada too.
It will end in praise!

ditha:
my program started in september 2020, i started online
Well, i dont know if we were all students on my flight because i didn't notice any separate queue for covid testing or isolation. I am saying they
haven't started it yet in vancouver

sleekcheek:
Online classes with full time work especially bank work is really not easy. I had to attend a 2 hours class yesterday night which started by 11:30pm and also make it to work today before 8pm. The good thing is my job is not so demanding and I can do some reading on my desk while at work during slow periods. This has really helped me to follow up with classes and my grades so far have been good. Just trying to encourage you that you are not the only one going through this, I know your job might be more demanding than mine but when there is a will there is a way. Keep pushing and do your upfront medicals asap, it will end in praises for us

I started online as well in September 2020. To be honest, it wasn’t an easy thing to do. I am awake all night sometimes doing school work. Then in the morning I am at work. Safe to say I have gone 24hours without sleep sometimes. Infact, if anyone had told me that I would come this far in the program I would have doubted. All my classmates know my busy schedule and I always reach out to them for help. It’s been 6 months into the program, And I have gotten used to the pressure.
No doubt the online classes are very demanding and could be draining. But I believe that if I could do it, you can also. Please strive to make it work. Trust me you can do it if you really want to. Just hang in there.

Ayokaq:
Plz which bank card did u used for payment

Hi! I paid cash in DHL. I was in Abuja atm so I went to DHL office to send it to VFS Abuja.

Yea same here. I submitted on the 27th January too. For mine I haven’t even gotten a confirmation email from them since I submitted. I will go to the VFS office as well

oyinlove15:

Sad! Same with me. No update, I sent them an email like 24 hours ago. No response on that yet
It is well!

Qcanvs38mimi:
Ircc Abuja is slowing down I think. My passport was sent to the Canadian visa office last Wednesday, still no LOI or counterfoil number. Any body having the same issues

Tired much o! I sent my passport to VFS Abuja since 27th January. Tracked DHL and it was received next day (28th), 9 days now fa! I haven’t gotten any response. I really need to travel max in two weeks to be on 50% timeline. Tried to call yesterday, but the VFS phone no is just disconnecting. Any tips please?

Summe:
I sent it to Lagos.

The stamping took just a week, Counterfoil and LOI has been received. Just for them to return my passport...that's all!

Wow nice! May that be my testimony in Jesus name

ditha:

After my graduation from Unilag I went for my Masters in UK COVENTRY UNIVERSITY precisely I came back job hunting started no job but later I got one shaaa it's owned by Lebanese and you know their story na so I left

YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM IN YOUR LIFE ,YOU NEED TO GO AND PRAY FOR GRACE NOR BE EVERYBODY GET BAD LUCK

Mehn I cried for 3days and reported the matter to God with prayers and fasting so I kukuma use my 3months for Dubai relax and came back

So someone told about me Canada work permit they have their partner they will look for job long story short they submitted the application without some documents oo very shabby people they didn't include LMIA or LMIA EXEMPTION LETTER .My Application was refused based on Four reasons.Family ties in home and CANADA I nor get anyone there oo, Employment prospects, LMIA and Insufficient funds

So I told the guy you haven't rendered any services let's try study permit and it's both of us that will sit down and strategize it so he has someone who writes SOP for him so he told them to write my SOP while me I gather all other documents by myself ONLY

THE SIGNS AND THE TESTIMONY
I had submitted my application before I came to naira land so I didn't submit my mom's statement as my sponsor only my statement so I was worried so I decided I would raise webforms to send it
Now in one of her savings account no too much funds there so I told her we need to raise funds to add to it so I plan submitting the statement let's say Monday NSE Request came in that same Monday I say yes very good
So Wednesday before the Monday we started calling her tenants that are owing her for that month to pay that she needed money for something one we didn't call him he just sent it my Mom was planning on calling him but she was ready to send it he had already sent it
The remaining people sent it without argument the money was complete on Saturday so on Monday My mom sent out to the bank to print her statement so I can send it through webform as she was in the bank NSE request came in I just called her mama come back ooo we will go together the next day to print the mybank certificate so we went printed mine, my mom's own and the one with her fixed deposit it was generated for one year up to the time the money was fixed.
That was the first sign
Second sign I had a dream that I was complaining to someone that I need to get response from IRCC so the person was encouraging me that I should send the documents that my application will be approved on JANUARY 3RD I had that dream twice I woke up and said God is this a confirmation.

STEPS OF FAITH
1st Sunday of this year I sowed a seed towards my application and gave a offering higher than what have been giving before and told God I want a miracle on this
My church declares 3days prayers and fasting every beginning of the month I don't miss any of it and when I want to break by 6pm I only ask God for one thing my visa approval only when he grants it we will ask for other things-OLIVER TWIST ask for more
January 1st I wrote Four requests I want God to do for me this year visa approval being number one every Sunday I take it to the altar to present it to him

GOD did it it's not me or my documents I had my fears and worries on that Application.Ire oooo

Thank you for your response. *fingers crossed*

Yteem:


So far I don’t think it is possible to fast track with VFS.

Abuja office has been said to be faster with their processing unlike Lagos. Don’t know if that has changed now.
We have had varied processing times, 2 week to a period of 1 month.

Fingers crossed, your passport will get to you before your travel date.

This is my dilemma too. When did you submit yours @Olukologmail? I submitted mine on the 27th of January. Is it possible to fast track this with VFS? Because In my case I must be in Canada by 28 February. Pls has anyone in the house received passport back recently? How long did it take you?

Olukologmail:
Good evening family.
I wanted to ask how many days it might take to get our passport back once it has been submitted to VFS for stamping.

Hi,
Thank you.
Mine was definitely ‘University- other studies’.

Doughyeenbae:
Hi Glam, congratulations. I also applied to the university of winnipeg fall 2021 advanced business management. Please i have a question, when filling your form, what was filled under level of studies? college diploma or university-other studies. Thanks.

Sorry about your delay. I went through the exact same thing with University of Winnipeg. That was why I said conditional offer in my detailed post earlier.
Eventually I was dropped out of the list for my preferred course of study (pgd Human Resources) because class was full; I had to take on the next available course (Advance business management certificate). Even this one I was put on the waiting list so it was shaky. But as God will have it, I got my AIP and was enrolled at dying minute. That is why I say this journey will try your patience in every possible way.
My advice to you is to take the next best step at every juncture of setback, just don’t give up. Keep moving.

Even with

awys:

Congratulations bro all the testimonies that's being shared here today is inspiring and shows that what God cannot do doesn't exist!!! But truth be told IRCC is making me getting tired and having low spirit when I submitted in October I had a high spirit with a strong Zeal even when the NSE request came in it's was stronger and said okay with these I will get a faster response owing to the fact that my school University of Winnipeg gave a deadline to pay the first semester fees by February 15th and it's the LOI they will use to reserve the seat and these seats get fuller in time I was like I will get response even before January if the seats gets full they will put one on wait list or they say you defer till next intake with a fee ooo and that's what am trying to avoid I really wanted this May intake that's was why I applied early enough I wake up feeling cranky at times not knowing what to do or my faith with IRCC it's not as if am not ready to pay my fees but there have to be an outcome from IRCC before I pay it's just like one is between the devil and the deep blue Sea!!!!

THE LONGEST WAIT OF MY LIFE!
It can only be God!

Hello guys,
Please i need your help on a quick one.

I have been on this EE pool for about 2years now. & seeing that my score at 372 couldn’t get me anywhere I decided to do the school route so I deleted my EE profile as advised to avoid dual intent. Currently I have my study permit application for fall 2020 with the embassy. I am yet to receive a response.
But on the other hand, I decided to still write an Ielts exam I had already booked, and oshei! I got better results this time (L - 8.5 ; R - 8 ; S - 7.5 ; W - 7) which will increase my score to about 451 (I am not still anywhere I know...lol).

I am feeling a strong need to open an EE profile now since my scores are better and I have a better chance for PNP now. Is it actually wrong to be on the pool and apply for a study permit at the same time?
Also, if not right now, when my SP is granted, can I be on SP and be eligible to apply for EE?
Please I need your kind opinions on this matter troubling my mind. Thank you

Hello guys, Good Afternoon & I hope everyone is keeping on well.
I have submitted an online application for study permit for fall 2020, & while I am waiting on that, the school (university of Winnipeg) has contacted me to say that the course I applied for (HRM pgd) is now full. Note that the conditions for a full acceptance is payment of fees at the set deadlines and study permit. So I am Given options to either (1) opt for another course, (2) defer to next intake or (3) ask for a refund.
I have decided to go with option (1) opt for another available course.

My question is this please- since I have already applied for the HRM pgd in my study permit (buttressing the reason for this course in my SOP and entire application).
Would it affect my application?
Do I need to update the Canadian embassy with this information?
Please guys, I need your kind opinion on this please.
Kind regards!

Happy Easter everyone!
Please I need advice on how to package my study visa. I just got an acceptance offer from University of Winnipeg for a PACE post graduate diploma program?

My issue is how to package my funds in preparation for the visa. I am getting the money I will need from a friend, not related to me in any way. I am wondering how that would fly. Is it better that she transfers the money to my account and how long do I need to have it there before I can print the account statement to apply for the study permit? Or is it better to use the persons account statement directly? Also I am thinking about including the person in my CV as an employer?

Also, please does anyone have any experience with the university of winnipeg PACE programs? I realized it is just 12 months so I can only get a 1 year post graduate work permit. I was hoping to get atleast 2 years work permit to give me enough time to tidy up PR. But I guess they are ways around this.

In the spirit of Easter I await your kind responses guys. Thank you.

@justwise

It was a mistake.
& i apologised.

I apologise again Sir.
Please let peace reign.
God bless you.

Keep up the good work ehnnnn

Cheers!

justwise:


If you want his opinion in private why not contact him privately without posting your question here?

Hello Sir, @justwise
I apologise...
But what im actually asking for is an opinion/suggestion for my situation.
It clearly relates to the subject matter of the thread.

Kindly assist @justwise.

Thank you.

justwise:


Please lets not start this here as it will kill the purpose of this thread.

Hi epotek,
Thank you for sympathising.

It is not the case of a mistake on the form o.
I clearly stated training as my purpose of visit.
I submitted documents from the training institution as well.

I dont know how to get on from here.
is it advisable to apply again?
or Can i appeal?

Please Can you advice me?

Or can i get ur email address. perhaps we could communicate...

Thank you.

ekpotek:


Sorry for the refusal. Clearly there must be a mistake some where. Unless you have filled in your application form the purpose of visit as family visit and not to attend a training. Please check the application form you submitted.

Hello all,

My timeline for priority service (Abuja TLS):
submitted - 8/6/2018
collected - 20/6/2018

Following our previous communication on this,

I applied for the visa and included all the following recommended documents including a detailed cover letter explaining ALL the credits in my salary statement of account which i submitted.
The confusing thing here is that my reason for visa is to go for a training in bristol, england which will be FULLY sponsored by my organisation.
I attached the admission letter,invitation letter and receipt sent by the organisation.
Including the approval letters from my office for accomodation, feeding and all other cost. Also included a Letter of introduction, employment letter, id card etc.

In the form i mentioned a have a relative in the UK who lives in London
& i am not going to see him, i gave his contact details. Also i attached a copy british passport.


But in they letter they said 'You are applying to enter UK for 22 days for holiday to visit family and friends'

Could it be that my application was not even read properly or what?

Training is coming up July 2 - 20, 2018

Please what are my options... I am confused

@ekpotek @justwise

ekpotek:


1. General/Standard Visitor class
2. Training (be silenced on your brother graduation)
3. Communication between your company and the training institute, evidence of payment of training fees, evidence of hotel accommodation, evidence that the training is important to your career, evidences why you were chosen to attend, company bank statement, copy of company registration etc.
4. No. You can travel with your maiden name on your passsport. Just include your marriage certificate. Photos of wedding etc.
5. Since you are not sponsoring the trip. The bank statement of N800K is okay.
6. 6 months multiple entry
7. Maintain the previous stance for now. Or if you wish to disclose this information go ahead and enclose his British passport data page. However, answer NO that you are not going to visit him or stay with him (a long lost brother that you have just discovered is very difficult to proof )

Include a cover note to address the previous refusal of 2014. Your husband can also give a covering letter to assure the ECO that you will return back after your training, by including his bank statement as a backup sponsor.

Well understood.
Thank you very much for taking out time to give valuable advice @ekpotek
I will do the needful an hopefully come back with some good news by the grace of God

ekpotek:


Visiting a family member in UK is always a tough thing to proof. It become more tough with your previous refusals from A list countries and non disclosures of your brother status in your previous UK application. The question is how do you convince the ECO that you do not have any immigration intent? Apart from all the document you listed, you will need to proof the family relationship, these including photos of you and your brother together, his birth certificate showing your parents names, emails and chats communication, etc. You can give it a try, however, it difficult for me to predict your chances. What may count for you is your financial and social home ties, that might make the ECO overlooked your pass refusals. Another thing is you will need to justify in your cover letter why your attendance is important to your brother.

Thank you very much sir @ekpotek
Your response is highly appreciated.

Please Sir, as i am yet to get full clearance for the training from my organisation and time is of the essence,

3. Communication between your company and the training institute, evidence of payment of training fees, evidence of hotel accommodation, evidence that the training is important to your career, evidences why you were chosen to attend, company bank statement, copy of company registration etc.

So i want to be on spot with this application.

But i have a situation i believe your experienced advise will help clarify

I want to travel to the UK in July for two reasons:
1.) A training that will be sponsored by my office (holding in bristol, UK)
2.) My brothers university graduation ceremony (holding in London, UK)

For no 1.) I would have the following documents to support my application:

-Letter of admission
-Invoice
-Letter of introduction from office stating sole sponsorship or the trip
-Employment letter
-Contract Agreement
-Payslip

For no 2.) I would have the following documents to support my application:

-Invitation letter from the university
-British passport data page
-Cover Letter from my brother sating he would be responsible for feeding and accomodation
-Bank Statement (proof of address and income)


I am married (Marriage certificate will be attached), but my husband does not intend to apply with me
earn a considerable income monthly (payslip),
I have travel history to only china and dubai (will attach photocopy of expired visa page)
I have been refused canada (twice), US (once), UK (once)


Please my Questions are :
1.) What class of visa should i apply for?
2.)Which of the reasons above is most appropriate to state as my reason of travel?
or do i state both plus supporting documents?
3.)What other documents or information should be added or removed to increase my chances of being granted visa?
4.)Also, i am yet to do a change of name since i am married, does it affect anytin?
5.)I will be attaching bank statement of about 800k balance, is it sufficient?
6.)what duration of visa should i apply for? cos I would be willing and able to afford application fee for as much as two years
7.)Also, i remember that in my uk visa application in 2014 i did not state that i had a brother or relative there (the agent advised me not to as he was not a citizen then), will this affect anything? or how do i address this in this application?

Any kind useful advice will be much appreciated.
