Hello all,
Silent follower here figured I might share this:

So I got a refusal a few hours ago with the below reason:
"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"

I did apply on July 7th, refused today September 7th (I am Kenyan)
I did put in a complete application(Medicals included).

Kindly, someone give me the procedure for ordering my GCMS Notes.

Thank you!
So sorry to hear that, you can order your notes from gcmsbuddy dot Com.
Get the notes, and we all are going to tackle their concerns together this time.

I said it here that I claim this week. And it came to past. No agent involved. It was God, friendly interactions from here and other social media platform and my humble wits.

It's a PPR alert guys. I'd be back for its details.




Yes !!! My people are getting PPR, we are waiting for more this Week, today is just Tuesday.

When did you send the passport to them boss. And is it Lagos Vfs
I sent it to Abuja on 24-08-2021, It was sent back and has been in Lagos State since 02-09-2021, but I am not currently in Lagos, so it was transferred from Lagos to my the State I am and DHL wasted so much time doing that.

It could be, I’d suggest you print every necessary documents relating to your permit and school before going to the airport.

How does this chat justify anything? The writer said he provided his documents but what if the agent added his own repeated documents in the application? He does not have the login so obviously may not know the final submitted documents. Since this can be verified from the login on documents submitted so they can confirm this easily. It's also possible the applicant may have reached an agreement with the agent to provide some too. Si if he is innocent of this, why did he not reveal the Procedural fairness letter to him atleast to fight his chance ? Faithy also shared her experience with the said agent. Well, I wonder what people are expecting the agent to say at this point though?


You are correct.

So a brief update on the journey so far

I became serious with this faceless platform now turned family on the 26th of June this year. That was when i knew i was dealing with a clown as a agent. Fast forward to some days after calling it quit with him, my Nairaland Soldier was able to rescue me and collect my money back. The same 26th, i opened a new GCKey, also applied to Cambrian college but no response yet. A week after i was able to apply to Fanshawe college where i finally got admission in eaxctly a week.

Tuition fee deposit paid. Just concluded my ielts test today. And about to apply for my study permit.

Slow but its steady.
Yes!! We are getting there.

LANDING GIST!!!
Feels good that I dropped my PPR testimony in PART 19 and here I am in PART 20 dropping my landing gist!!! Thanks to the Almighty God, my parents and all gurus on this platform!!!

Lufthansa Air, 10:55pm 2nd September, 2021.

Got to the airport around 6:30/7pm.

2 big bags with one weighing 23.83kg and the other 23.38kg, hand luggage weighing 8.4kg or so, and I also carried a laptop bag, with my laptop and some clothes in it.

I was asked for covid test result(I did the test on 1st September), passport wit my visa, wen she saw a student visa, I was asked for enrolment letter. My bags got checked in and I was given my 3 boarding cards (Lagos to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Toronto, Toronto to Windsor), and also a card to fill my details and destination. I had my ArriveCAN but I wasn't asked for it. My younger bro was asked for it wen he traveled last week.

Moved to the boarding gate, only one man asked for money and I tell baba say e nor dey. I met with the immigration officer and gave him the card. The boarding gate queue dey long die, try get to the airport early to check-in.

At the boarding gate, I was asked for passport and covid test result. My hand luggage was weighed again and it was like 9kg+ and the lady told me itz supposed to be 8kg but I should go.....Datz wat she told everyone sha.

Plane took off around 11:45pm. Please hold a jacket, it was very cold for me, I was actually having a sick feeling guess it was cuz of d covid vaccine, but generally it was still cold. I wore my jacket with my hands in d pocket and I used the blanket to cover my head. Lufthansa Air was great generally, especially for movie and music lovers, food too was good.

Got to Frankfurt at abt 6am naija time. Moved to my boarding gate and check-in started almost immediately, I just showed them boarding pass and covid test result. Frankfurt to Toronto via Air Canda. It was also an excellent one, wasn't really cold I knw, bit still did d same jacket and scarf style lol....Dat 2nd covid vaccine do me strong tin. We were told that the flight is full, so only one hand luggage is allowed. So extra hand luggage were checked-in for free. I checked-in my own, so I was left only with my laptop bag.

Got to Toronto at 12:35pm Toronto time, and next flight to Windsor was scheduled for 2:15pm. I scanned my passport and filled my details online by myself using the self service machine, which den generated a ticket for me, then, I moved to the officer. Showed her the ticket with my passport and she asked;

Why are you coming to Canada? I am coming to study
What school? University of Windsor
What program? Master of Medical Biotechnology....Masters? Wow!!!
So why did you choose to come study in Canada? Cuz UWindsor offers my program as an accelerated program, and I will complete the program under just 16months, so I had to forgo other options and settle for Canada.
Are you fully vaccinated? Yes. Kindly show me ur proof of vaccination, I brought out my card and she checked.
She said my last dose was 31st August, I said and she told me I'll av to quarantine for 14days wich I told her I'm aware of, so she gave me the quarantine booklet to take along and read.
Do you have food items, alcohol or tobacco in ur bag? No! Are u sure? Yes I am.
Do you have a place to quarantine? I said yes, and I gave her my house address. What place is this, hotel or where? I told her it's a rented house, I have my private room upstairs with two other rooms but the occupants are not in town yet until 17th wich is the last day of my quarantine, so I have the washroom to myself. She said that's good, she gave me a ticket and directed me on where to go.

I met with a Ghanaian man. He asked for my passport.

What school are you going? I answered
What program? I answered
Watz d Duration?16month
So u r expected to finish when? December, 2022.
Show me your vaccination card....I showed him and he told me abt quarantine, which I told him I am aware of.
So he stood up and printed my study permit and told me to follow a particular procedure at the back of the permit, in case I dnt finish my program by December and all. He also told me to focus on my studies that Canada is a good place, that he is advising me cuz I am his fellow West African lol.

So I moved to carry my bags, I wait taya....I got all my bags at exactly 2:14pm. Did covid test, and I was also given the kit for my day 8 testing. Got to the terminal and I was told my flight had gone already.

I was given another boarding pass for 9pm, and I was told it's nt sure, I will only get in of someone doesn't show up. While waiting, I bought pringles and water with 100usd, and I was given my change in cad. US$100 was changed for 121cad. Unfortunately, I ddnt get in, but one Indian guy was lucky to get in, only one space was left.

I was given another one for 9am on 4th September, and I was also told itz nt sure, only if someone doesn’t come but I was only sure of Sunday, 5th September, 9am....So I was given a pending boarding pass for 4th, and a real one for 5th. I slept on d floor at Toronto airport. The cold was killing!!! I wore like 4 more clothes under my jacket and 2 clothes to cover my head. I was lucky to move with the 9am flight yesterday. Toronto to Windsor was just abt 40mins. Apparently, my bags got to visit Windsor before me loool.

Airport taxi from Windsor Airport to my apartment in Josephine Avenue was around 25cad.



Congratulations, Go and prosper !!

Dear Guru's,

I need your advice.

My program is only September intake.

Should I reply for the program or I should seek another admission for January intake in another school.

waiting for your advice please......

Thanks.
I am not a Guru, but with things I have learnt here, admission process for each school defers, CIC process for each Application differs also. Some schools takes 2 Weeks, some Months before issuing admission decision, But from my own personal experience, I applied for admission for January, 2022 session because I wanted to give CIC enough time for the permit processing,
I submitted School admission’s application on April 14th, I gained admission on May 3rd.
Then, I applied for Visa on May 13th and PPR dropped in August.

I hope you can calculate the timing and make use.

PPR ALERT �

Application submitted: May 7
Biometrics completed: May 17
Request letter: May 14
Responded via webform: June 1
Responded via NSE platform: July 5 (uploaded Letter of Explanation with letter of English proficiency, and updated personal bank statement).
Upfront medicals: June 1
Medicals passed: June 7
BVL: September 1
PPR: September 3

Documents submitted:
CV
Recommendation letter from my academic supervisors (1st and 2nd degree)—Both hammering on the need of my proposed PhD program and how it would greatly benefit Nigeria.
Certificates and transcripts.
Letter of support from my brother (He expressly noted the amount he transferred to my account, 2M).
Letter of Attestation from my parents.
Picture with my parents (recent).
Land documents (Agreement).

POF:
Funding Letter.
Personal bank statement (4 months, with history of 3M).
Brother’s bank statement (4 months, foreign account).
Brother’s pay slip.

The wait was really daunting and exhausting. At some points, I was overwhelmed and doubting my application - It was after I submitted my application I join this thread, then, I began to raise webforms and SHOOTING EMAILS to Nairobi to further fine tune my application based on the recommendation and advice from the gurus here. More so, I PRAYED AND FASTED so that the VOs should overlook my mistakes�

As at this time last year, I cant imagine that I could be at this level, in fact, I was about giving up on scholarship after receiving several love letters from Professors. Then, I give it another trial this year—I am heading to UBC for a PhD program with funding. (B.Tech 2014; MSc 2019).

To God be thy glory.
Great is thy faithfulness.

To all PPR Hopefuls: You will get it very soon by the grace of God—Your labour will not be in vain. The mercy and the favour of God will envelope your application. God in His infinite mercies will cover your mistakes and color your efforts. The joy will go round. We all testify to the goodness of God and his name will be magnified. He will surely come through for everyone. He’s a faithful God: He thou has promised; he’s faithful and will make it happen very soon. It is well!

Thank you Everyone, God bless you���
WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST!!!
Congratulations !!!
