I changed the number on my BVN so I can use it for PCC, bank has changed it but this hasn't reflected on POSSAP website, its been over 3days now, anyone have an idea of how long it will take or how to bypass this part? I have been on this issue for over 3 weeks now ejoor?

Sorry about that,

I feel you should stop applying to Canada for the time being

It is difficult to convince a VO at this stage

viviangogos:
It is well with you. It is only a delay so do not give up. Order for your gcms notes, if possible work closely with a guru this time to re apply as to tighten every loose end that may have been the issue. We will rejoice with you soon..

Congratulations

Esom16:
Congratulations Andirr. So happy for you.May Canny favor you.

Thanks alot

Xcalibur870:
- You will not be required to provide any document in support of biometrics for minors. Their passports, copy of data pages and signed consent forms (by you) will suffice
- You will be required to pay ₦7430 (per applicant) for processing. Include the receipt in your package to VFS
- Abuja VAC is historically faster but you'll need to send it via courier. DHL usually goes for about $12k for next day delivery from Lagos. You'd also need to pay for a return courier from VFS for a similar amount. No extra cost to expedite.

Hope this helps.

Good morning beautiful People,

congratulations to everyone who had received PPR in July,

Please I have questions :

I applied for study permit for my children 8 and 5, since June no response yet but I believe it will come soon by God's grace

At VFS adults will usually submit the receipt from biometrics with passport upon request for submission, but since they were children biometrics wasn't required, What they do I submit when passport is requested?
is there any amount of money we will be expecting to pay?
I will prefer to send to Abuja to speed up the process. is there any extra cost for that?
kindly shed more light

Congratulations, God pass them true true

Amicableoga:
[Congratulations quote author=CHIKACIC post=103956453]My people from the bottom of my heart I say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
As is our slogan: It will go round and end in praises!

Lonnnnnnnng Post Alert!!!!

One of my numerous mantras is: “As long as there is life, there is hope”.

First of all.....TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!
I choose this moniker “CHIKACIC” meaning: God pass Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). My story will throw more light.

Personal profile:
I am 43. YES! I am a 43 year old lawyer, wife and mother of three (2 boys and 1 girl).

My quest for visa started way back in 2003/2004; during Law School/after the death of my father/NYSC.

First UK visa application (Visit) was in 2004 - refused.
Second UK visa application (Visit) in 2006 - refused.
Third UK visa application (Study) in 2008 - refused.
Fourth UK visa application (Visit) in 2011 - approved.
Fifth UK visa application (Visit) in 2020 - approved, but wasn’t used cos of COVID.

My interest has always been in the UK, because that’s where I have family members (a distant Uncle and 2 younger sisters), one of whom is my financial sponsor together with her husband and conquering my study visa refusal has always been on my bucket list.
Post 2008, I have continuously applied and received countless admission letters for graduate studies in the UK, but God said no it is not yet my time. God willing, I hope to check that off in my bucket list in the nearest future.
In 2013/2014, US Diversity Visa lottery caught my interest before it was later scrapped for Nigeria (heard we have exceeded our quota limit).
My interest in Canada started in 2015 as per Express Entry, but my scores and funds were low ( family of 4 then).
I gave birth to my daughter in April 2017, which was the year they had the lowest score till date in the Express entry (FSWP) history. (415 in April and 413 in May). My score was fluctuating between 420/414. Unfortunately, I missed that opportunity because I stopped monitoring the program during my pregnancy. I got to know about the scores later in the year. Mennnn, e painnnn me, I no go lie. Since then, the scores has not favored me because of age (the policy of -5 marks after every birthday). So all eyes moved to study visa. The rest they say is history.

BUT I WILL STILL TESTIFY TO KEEP HOPE ALIVE:

First time applicant to Canada.

Upfront Medical: February 10
Submitted online with IELTS: March 1
(This was the IELTS I wrote in April 2019 for Express Entry to expire April 2021). I also wrote another one in March 2021 as the previous one is about to expire.
Biometric Request: March 2
Biometric Completed: March 4
I didn’t notice when my Background check started.
NSE Request for POF: March 5 to expire on April 5 (which I ignored because of UK sponsors).
Medical Passed: March 9

Then eerie silence.......no update whatsoever for almost 5 months. (March 9 to July 21). This platform helped me a lot during this period. You all are the bomb!

I think sometime in May I sent a LOE to Nairobi via web form and email explaining why I ignored the NSE request because my POF came from the UK. Receipt acknowledged, but no official response.

Then in June I did three things:

1. 7th June, I sent an email to Nairobi, Lagos, London, and Beijing offices to know the status of my application, which has exceeded the standard processing time. Got the generic response.

2. Ordered for my GCMS notes via Anon123 on June 25th - yet to receive that. (Now I am very very curious to know how the whole thing went down).

3. June 30th, I sent a mail to the MP representing my school location and on July 14th, I got a feedback from the MP’s office that my Medical and Background checks are complete, and Eligibility is under review.

NOTE: As at the time I got this feedback, there was no update (ghost or otherwise) on my IRCC profile from March 9th (my last update as per Medicals) until yesterday 4:39pm and 4:40pm July 21st 2021, when I got three consecutive emails asking me to check my account for messages.

Na pounding heart/trembling hands I take login ooo.
The first thing I noticed was that my eligibility is under review and I was like oh noooo more waiting. Then I scrolled down and saw application APPROVED!
In front of my husband and children, I went down on my knees thanking and praising GOD, because na in hand I dey/na in hand I carry myself put along with my imperfect application package throughout this journey.
MY PEOPLE, WITH GOD BY YOUR SIDE:
IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!
IF THAT DESIRE IS STILL IN YOUR HEART NOTWITHSTANDING THE OBSTACLES AND SETBACKS YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED, KEEP HOPE ALIVE. IT WILL SURLY COME TO PASS.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations

MyRace:
Hello dear friends, please I really need help with this. How do I go about the legal issues surrounding applying for only minors? Do I go through my profile or do I create a separate profile fro them?

Thanks so much, this is very helpful

oyibo4real:
Oh ok. I think I've seen your mail this morning, but let me reply here for the benefit of others too.

Documents submitted for him:

---All the necessary IMM forms(this time fill the study permit form in place of visiting visa form, I guess it's their new normal)

---Reference Letter from his school, stating his date of admission, current grade/class, reason for the request and expected date of arrival back to Nigeria(odi egwu)

----International passport and copies of previous visas to other countries

----His Birth Certificate

-----Passport photograph

----My school's Letter of Admission and Receipt of Tuition fee payment

----- Proof of Fund and sponsor's employment details

----- Affidavit of Support(financial) from my husband being our sponsor, we also included his consent here too.

----Marriage Certificate and Family pictures.

-----Letter of Explanation(I used a strong one cos I needed to explain why my eldest child would be going with me instead of the youngest)

I hope this helps,

@oyibo4real pls I have questions regarding the documents you submitted for your child's visa
I do not know how to go about my children's application, I don't know the kind of Visa to apply for considering the processing time for dependent children currently. I am currently in Canada but will love my children here by Sept so they can start school too. Please help o , other scholars kindly shook mouth too

oyibo4real:
Yea, I addressed the issues of concern in LOE and sent immediately, i later wanted to include docs/pictures as proofs but changed my mind as those things were properly explained in my SOP.

PS: I asked them to go through my SOP again.

I wish you the BEST!

Thank you

JustMellow:
Hello Harbay30,

Leave your mom out of the picture for now to improve your chances. You can later in the future apply for a Super Visa (SV) to bring her to Canada. You can apply for SP for your kids with your academic information.

Best of Luck

Note: All other status are still showing in progress except Biometrics and medicals[/b]

Good evening everyone, am a newbie here but has been following this thread for a few days now, please has a new one who opted in for NSE in December gotten a feedback? I resubmitted my Doc when I had my POF requirement ready Dec 11th, it was confirmed received Dec 14th, I didn't submit my Upfront medicals then has I didn't haven't done it, i had it done Jan 5th and expected it to has been sent to IRCC since yesterday, I haven't gotten any notifications from them till this minute, may because is weekend� Pls how long does it take them to confirm the receipt of our upfront medical records? Have been really worried especially because of this silence since 14th of Dec, anyone to help with my many questions here?




uote author=efedhomav post=97874604]I have shouted a resounding AMEN! My siblings where around me when I shouted and I did not even mind their presence. Focused on the prayer and the many declarations. I really needed this.

I have applied for a study visa twice and have been denied. I was denied on the following grounds the first time (2015). I cannot remember all the reasons for denial the second time(2016). But same reasons in the first were also amongst the reason for denial.
''You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
1. travel history
2. family ties in Canada and in country of residence
3. length of proposed stay in Canada
4. purpose of visit
5. personal assets and financial status.''

Update on my current status regarding the above:
I will be 37 years old by August 2021.
I have not travelled out of Nigeria yet
I have my parents and 4 of my siblings here in Nigeria. I have a younger brother living and working in Canada after studying there.

I want to begin another application this year 2021 but someone advised me to first of all request for my GCMS file before applying again. a link (https://www.gcmsbuddy.com/ ) was sent to me by a friend to register and make the request. Please can I request for my GCMS myself or do I need an agent to make the request for me? And please how do I go about the request? What information will I need to make the request?

Also, since the course applied for also matters in being granted a visa, please I also need a candid advice on what course is preferable for me to apply for as my undergraduate degree study which is Geography & Environmental Management (Second Class Lower Division) is entirely different from my line of work (Administrative/Finance Officer) of over 7 years in an Insurance company. I do have 4 course option I will like to apply for:

1. Business Administration in Human Resource Management
2. Operations Management
3. International Business Management OR
4. Nursing (Healthcare Assistant)

My Dad who is now retired for over 2 years now will be sponsoring me for my study.
Please I want to know if it is advisable to apply again, and if I will get the study visa this time if I apply.

Thanks so much and God bless you richly.[/quote]
