God has done it for my husband, He is never late, His time is perfect and it is the best!!!!

Came to Canada as a student on the 9th of September, 2021.
I put in my hubby's Visitor's visa application on December 5th, when the rave of Visitor visa approval was high, few of my colleagues that put in theirs got theirs approved and mine was refused sometime in March 2022. Refusal reason is home ties and invalid reason for a visit.

I quickly submitted another Visitor's Visa on 5th of April, 2022 as my study permit was going to expire soon. Though I later got extension for Dec, 31st 2022.

I have been waiting for a response even up till now, nothing came. The GCM notes I requested showed nothing tangible.

A friend of mine convinced me to put in SOWP after hers got approved in less than a month. I finally did on the 16th of September.

I was hoping they'd cancel the visitors visa but nothing happened. I was so frustrated so I sent them a mail asking them if we did anything wrong to them that we don't know about

Before that, I erroneously omitted one file during the application so i sent it via webform. I got a message asking for complete details regarding the file and i provided it.
Came back from work today and about to go take a hot bathe when i decided to check his mail. I saw application updated. I rushed to his page and saw medicals updated and I gave a very huge hiss not knowing something else was there. I lazily scrolled down (I always do this before logging off everyday), and I saw application was approved!!!!!

God is never late!!!!! We are grateful and the testimony will get to everybody. Just pray for the perseverance and patience though because reading the mail i sent to IRRC now, it was very polite but it was a frustrating mail with a lirril bit of werey and guilt tripping

AKANLE2:

Aissy:
okay so I sent mine this morning, if you did your biometrics in Abuja and you want to send it there for stamping then you don’t need to pay for VFS transmission fee. You will need to pay for DHL to and fro courier services tho(I paid 16200 from Benin to Abuja)
In side an envelope you will put your original passport request letter, your passport, VFS consent form, two photocopies of the data page of your passport, your biometrics slips that’s you were given the day you did your biometrics and then you write the address of Abuja VFS on it. You can find the address of Abuja VFS here

I KEY INTO THIS YOUR PPR BLEESINGS MAPLE LAND WILL FAVOUR YOU.

I promised that I’ll share additional details, and here it is.
First off, let me apologise for submitting it a little later than normal, it is due to the peculiar nature of my application, and because of that, this may be a slightly long read.
As we all know, what God cannot do does not exist, and it is Him I give all the glory.
Timeline:
Submission – May 15th
Biometrics Update – May 21st
Medical Request – September 14th
Medical Update – September 16th
PPR – September 21st
BVL – October 1st
LOI – October 5th
You may be wondering if I made mistakes with the dates—far from it! Sequel to my application submission and the updating of the biometrics on May 21st, the long wait started. I continued to follow this thread and many people suggested that those without upfront medical should consider doing one to avoid slowing down their application.
Circa the first week of September, I decided to do the upfront medicals, and picked 14th September. The appointment day came and I went to the screening centre, completed my medicals and headed back home. Some few minutes after settling down, I received an application update email—it turned out to be medical request. Isn’t God wonderful?! I was joyous. Joyous because more often than not—and as we’ve seen here—a medical request indicates a good chance of approval. The doctor at the screening centre already told me that they’ll send my result in 24hours, so I waited until the following day, then I raised a webform, attaching the sheet the medical centre gave me. I also sent an email with the same content to Nairobi and Lagos offices.
Then things began to happen dramatically. I received PPR on 21st September, meanwhile my eligibility started about 3 days prior. I was happy but equally restless. My application status still showed the last update as ‘medical’ and I didn’t receive the typical BVL/Correspondence before the PPR. Anyway, on the 22nd September I sent my Passport to VFS Lagos office (I did biometrics in Lagos), and was delivered to them on the 23rd, then I received further update that it’s been dispatched to the Lagos Office on the same date.
On the 29th, I received another update, this time saying they’ve received my decision envelop, and later documents at Abuja OC. Abuja ke? I was startled. Meanwhile, my application status last update is still showing ‘Medical’ while Final Decision is still ‘Your application is in progress…’ Anyways, I continued to mumble prayers randomly lest village people score a 90+6 mins bullet header.
On 1st October, I received an email of changes to application status, and I remember having palpitations. I managed to open it and it is the BVL. It was truly a relief!
My LOI was sent on October 4th, and I received an update that Passport has been processed and sent to Abuja VAC, followed by series of updates. Long story short, I received my stamped passport this afternoon.

For my application, it’s just GOD. I submitted the most basic of applications.
Documents
The necessary IMM forms
SOP – 4 pages (I honestly think that it is the best of all the documents there—well written)
Unconditional Offer Letter of Admission
Certificates (Birth, First Degree, NYSC, WAEC)
Siblings Birth Certificates
Employment Confirmation Letter
ID Card
CV
Passport Data Page
Sponsor’s Account Statement (Not MBS) – Closing balance of N30m
Sponsor’s Passport
Sponsor’s CAC
Sponsor’s Letter of Introduction and Sponsorship
I didn’t submit any property document; I didn’t submit my personal account statement. My sponsor has a different surname. Yet, God showed up.

NB: First Time Applicant; No Travel History.

I pray that those that are awaiting decision would receive positive feedbacks by God's grace.
