Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my timeline and encourage those who are still waiting for a positive response. It will come. Not to type too much, see timeline below:

Submitted my application October 2, 2020
Biometric request October 3, 2020
Biometrics updated to passed October 10, 2020
NSE Request November 19, 2020
Submission of NSE requirements Nov 26, 2020
Medical Invitation January 19, 2021
Medical passed January 30, 2021
February 2021- Silence
March 2021- More silence

By now, I had deferred my Winter admission to Spring. I believed that the approval will come by then.

April 2021- Still nothing

Deferral to Winter 2022 term application submitted May 18, 2021

BVL May 19, 2021
PPR May 19, 2021

It took almost 8 months. I believed that I would get it, I just didn't know when. I sent emails and raised webforms but I don't know if they made any real difference.

I sent my passport and other documents to VFS Abuja 21st May and I got it back 31st May. That's less than 2 weeks.

I am very happy and grateful.

If you know anyone in Conestoga College willing to help an incoming student with settlement planning, I would appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I have plenty questions for that person.

As we say here, It will end in praise!

OlajideAyodele:
Hello, please has anyone got study permit to Canada this year ?

Spectro:
Bro, everything has been stated in the GCMS.

So these are the things you did wrong.

1. You stated you've been unemployed since 2016... Red flag.

2. You got admission for a business related course, which has absolutely no connection with your previous educational study or previous job... Red flag.

3. You didn't specify how studyiing at that University will be worth the expense, since there are local alternatives in Nigeria... Red flag.

4. You didn't specify any hometie. Since you are single, you should have looked for a way to richly explain your ties to Nigeria... Red flag.


If you apply next time, please address all four points sufficiently.


May God guide you.

Hi All,

I have a concern with Study permit. The only people i know that got PPR recently are people that go through the NSE route or at least did their upfront medicals. Does it mean that IRCC no longer request for medicals and dont they process people that go through the normal route SP. what do you think guys.

I appreciate a response
Thank you

Hello,
Does anyone have contact of someone working with VFS lagos ?
This people have refused to give me back my passport!

Spectro:
If you read the applicant's concerns, you will understand that this is a very dicey situation.

Applicant has not paid full tuition fee. He is expected to do that in 15 days.

Applicant has no receipt of rented accommodation in Canada. He is expected to rent a place in 15 days.

Applicant's salary account is empty. Perhaps, there's a good explanation for this, but hopefully it's a very good one.

These are concerns for the Applicant, and he needs guidance on how to go about them.


(Could it be that applicant made some claims in his SOP that may have come to bite him?)

I really pray he figures out a way to resolve the pending issues.

EmeeNaka:
Most things there are something you can do. What I don't understand is the payment of accommodation. How can you pay for Accommodation when you haven't got Visa. I don't know whether accommodation fees are refundable. But just rally round and get those things done. Your salary account being empty doesn't matter, if money dey enter there, just provide it. They just want to see if you really are employed as you may have claimed.
If I may ask, when did you apply?

Musajagga:
I applied for my study permit in December 2020, but then in January 2021 I was asked to upload mybankstatement that I am eligible for the NSE which takes 20 days processing time and since then I have not heard from IRCC. Please what’s wrong and what can I do ?

qb41:
request for medicals on the 14th of April, medical done on the 29th, updated to passed on the 12th of may, ppr on the 17th

Enrollment is evidence that you are registered in courses for the semester. In this case now its spring summer or fall semester

LANDING GIST

Nigeria to Toronto Canada
Airline: Lufthansa and Air Canada

Important thing to note: Carry your fav snacks in your hand luggage, you may not like the food at all. They served vegetarian pasta on both flights

*Checkin -Nigeria*
Study permit
Flight ticket
Arrive can
3 day hotel booking
Enrollment letter (heard they won't let you checkin without it even though its not a requirement on the Canadian govt website.)

*Frankfurt*
No document asked
They just reprinted my boarding pass and that was it

*Toronto*
Letter of acceptance
Tuition payment
I was not asked anything about enrollment in Toronto. So it means its the Nigerian airport carrying it on their head for whatever reason.

My flight landed Toronto around Noon on the 14th. The airport was very quick. Went through the customs border and immigration in less than 15 minutes.

*Questions asked*
Name of school
Why I chose my school
Who is sponsoring me
They asked if I would be paying my sponsor back .. I said no and they asked why .. I said because she's my senior sister and that's how family supports each other. The officer asked me where my sponsor works and then issued my study permit.

I thankGod for a seamless process. I am also happy I used Lufthansa. The flight was not full at all and it wa very comfortable like some people had a whole 4 seats to sleep on.

I was wondering why Nigeria is particular about enrollment and I think the best way to get around that especially if you have taken semesters before is to simply email CBSA to ask if enrollment is a requirement for travel then maybe print their response and take it with you to the airport.
Spring and summer is a known holiday for students so I don't know why they are particular about it. Most students and even Canadians don't take classes this period. They go to the beach and chill. Some companies even close to observe the holiday.

Wishing everyone good luck
