@Jaykeh,

Usually they acknowledge receipt of documents sent through the webform for the first time you upload documents after submission BUT do not acknowledge receipt of subsequent webform.


I hope this helps.

Jaykeh:
Please if you send anything through webform, say new letter of admission or update financial documents, will it reflect on your portal for you to know they have seen it?

@gideon19,

You can Google DLIs ......designated Learning Institutes in Canada (you can also mention the province of your choice).

All DLIs are authentic.

I hope this helps

gideon19:
Hi all, pls is there a place to confirm the authenticity of a school one is trying to apply to?

e.g. royalroads university.

@Jaykeh,

You will need to upload the medical sheet they gave u same day you had your exam through a webform. The facility ( IOM/Qlife) will also forward their own (content of the exam) to IRCC for review/assessment after which it will eventually reflect on you profile.

I hope this helps.

Jaykeh:
Please with regards to upfront medicals, I did mine few days ago and I'm a bit confused, the sheet to upload is it the one the medical personnels told me it would take two to five days to upload and they will also send a copy to my email or is it the sheet that was given to me after the medicals registration before I proceeded to carry out the medical assessment?

@ Kamsi99,

In that case you will need to visit vfs office yourself, sort out the biometric slip and submit thereafter with the relevant documents.

I hope this helps

Kamsi99:
Thank you very much for this detailed information !!! But please , I did my biometrics in lagos, is that biometric confirming slip compulsory because I am not sure of it whereabout as it was raining heavily that very day which got me very soaked in the rain

@Thomsyne,

Congratulations well deserved. May the land of Canada favour you plenty!!!

Once again, its PPRRRRR - Loooooonnnnggggg post alert!!

First off, I’d like to thank God and many members of this platform for helping and keeping things running on here.

My profile in summary: 25y/o single male, parent sponsored, Computer Engineering BSc, graduated with second class upper, going for MSc, Computational Sciences. Graduated in 2020, worked as a Software Engineer ever since then.

Timeline and Events
New Portal
First-time applicant
Applied by myself. Learnt all from Google, Youtube, and Nairaland

July 4: Upfront medicals
July 8: Application on New Portal
July 8: Biometrics Request
July 13: Gave biometrics and received on portal
** Somewhere in between I’d uploaded my medical sheet from IOM via webform. Can’t remember when.
August 4 (2AM): Sent mail to Lagos, Nairobi, London and attached my medical sheet.
August 4 (Around 1pm): Biometrics and Medicals updated to pass.
** Long wait, ordered notes, CBSA and GCMS, nothing tangible.
October 11: Sent mail to MP
October 13: MP got back literally saying the same thing on portal.
** Around this period, started firing several versions of mails and webforms.
Nov 16: MP reached out to them again – Preassessment done, eligibility not started.
Nov 17 (Around midnight): Sent mails to Beijing, London, Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi.
Nov 17 (Around 12pm): Eligibility review started on portal
Nov 17 (Around 9pm): BVL and PPR

Little story, for POF which is usually a concern, I had like 5.5M in my account, $2k USD in dorm account. 5M was gift deed from my Dad, he had 25M in fixed deposit since July 2021. As at the time I applied, the money was fixed. There were several opinions about this, but I kept it that way even though I was scared sh*tless. The closing balance of that account was 77k in fact.

Around November 9 ish, I sent updated statement showing liquidated funds and my Dad transferred the balance of like 8M to me since I’d enrolled in courses. My savings in Naira and USD had grown, I also got salary raise at work so I packaged all these and sent severally via webforms – both old and new. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered like 3 notes and I still have 4 pending lol.

I’m adding all of these because I’m not sure what did the trick. It’s pretty much a combination of all.

Dame24:

I hope this helps

SoftdudeKay:
Hello house, please I requested for my GCMS notes since September but it hasn’t come yet, and I learnt that one can request for CBSA notes instead of GCMS notes as it is faster. Please, can I also request for my CBSA notes as my GCMS notes is yet to come? How much does it cost? And how do I request for it? Or can I submit another request for my GCMS notes?

Any available information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@Samy2big,

YES but you will need to avoid lump sum and ensure your SOP is water tight with explanations regarding your POF where necessary .

I hope this helps

samy2big:
Congratulations to you

I hope this helps

demz99:
Hello everyone, I’m so excited to have come across this platform. I submitted my application on the 30th of September and eligibility review started on the 20th of October. Wanted to ask how long it takes for the eligibility to be reviewed. Thank you very much.

@ Demmy10,

You may have to visit their office at MMIA for payment.Most people have similar experience when making payment

Demmy10:
Good morning guys,

I'm trying to book my flight via Ethiopian Airline, and when I was about booking for my flight it kept showing payment errors.
Please what can I do?

@Wendyfendi,

IRCC usually frown at FTD as POF.They believe you don't have access to the funds.....not readily available.I will advise you liquidate it into your current/savings account you intend using for this application.

Remember to also attach liquidation advise/certificate of investment in your documentation and also explain in your SOP about the funds so that they won't see it as lump sum.

Wendyfedi:
Hello House,

Please someone should help me.
Can I use a fixed deposit certification as POF when applying for my study visa? If yes, but I need to liquidate it and leave it in my account for a period of time, can I use the certificate of an Investment company I have my fixed deposit in, or must my fixed deposit certificate be from a bank?

@ bubu44,

It's practically not possible to apply for FX (Form A) and access same within 24hours.Your best bet is to source for FX through the parallel (Black) market to beat the deadline.

OR

you request for extension from your school. It usually takes over 4 weeks to access Form A across all the commercial banks in Nigeria.

I hope this helps.

bubu44:
good morning everyone, please i need help desperately. im trying to pay my school fees. im using Zenith, i used CIBC to generate my invoice for centennial college and they give 72 hours for payment. I submitted my form A yesterday and the deadline for payment is today.
1. do i start a new one again ?
2. should o continue with this one ?

please please please help me

@Oyefhunke,

It's so unfortunate u are having challenge with your Agent on this journey.we have always encouraged applicants to understand how this journey works even if you prefer to use Agents eventually, Anyway;

1.) It depends if you have access to your profile or not and majorly on the terms of agreement you have with the Agent.Issues like this could jeopardise your chances of getting your application approved cos it appears there is a strong disagreement already.

1.)you can do your medical and submit without him if you have access to your profile.

2.) Medical is a little above 45k at both approved facilities......IOM (abuja/Ikeja) and Qlife (Victoria Island)

3.) The hospital will forward to IRCC while you also send the copy of medical sheet that will be given to you after the medical exam. You are to raise a webform to IRCC Nairobi and also email them.

4.)Nobody can tell how fast your application can go but God.You will only need to do all the needful and trust Him to do the rest. Hoever,considering that you have less than 2months to resume school, I will advise you go ahead and do the medicals(upfront) to save time.

I hope this helps.

oyefhunke:

Their app is very unstable.I couldn't use it last week I tried but I was able to book using their site.I advise you use their web and do the booking.

I hope this helps.

@ Chizzyonwuakpa,

It will be risky to embark on the journey without a valid LOA.You look for admission and update IRCC before you set out in order to play safe.

I hope this helps.

Chizzyonwuakpa:
Please what happens when your admission is withdrawn and a study permit later granted?

@SoftdudeKay,

Nairobi if you are applying from Nigeria

SoftdudeKay:
Guys please I want to send a web form now but it’s asking me to choose the visa office processing my application. The drop box is showing me Kenya - Nairobi, and also Nigeria - Lagos. Which of these should I choose?

Thanks for your swift responses.

@Stellaawele,

Kindly visit 1st pages of this thread and the previously thread for details.

Please note that it's important you should be able to "sell yourself" through your statement of purpose (SOP).Much have been discussed about SOP,POF here.Mine the pages and revert where you need more clarifications.

I hope this helps.






[quite author=Chizzyonwuakpa post=117655673]Pls all, I need your kind assistance.
My passport was just requested by the Canadian embassy through Vfs but my fear is that my admission has been revoked. What can I do now? Also, if given my visa, how long can I wait before I travel with it. For example, I am expecting a new admission by December, 2022 against September 2023. Can I wait till January atleast?

Please I am still expecting a response. Thanks[/quote]

Stellaawele:
Please I need help on how to go about my Visa processing..I've just been admitted into Fleming college

@ Chizzyonwuakpa,

I will advise you

a) send in your passport for stamping first.

b) Then quickly initiate discussion with your school if it can be reversed. If positive fine otherwise you will need to reapply/be offered admission and whichever you MUST notify IRCC of either development.

c)You will need to travel not earlier than 30days before your program starts.Remember notifying IRCC with your new LOA will help u at your POE.

d) You should be able to travel with your letter of introduction after stamping.

You can also wait for more input from others.

I hope this helps.

@ Klare,

You can start by
a) defining your goal and budget......how many years program and funding.
b) Intended program - should align either with your first degree or working experience among other things..... career progression is key in this journey
c) Create time and go through the links on the 1st page of this thread and the previous thread
c).look for schools and their admission requirements (must be a DLI). etc

I hope this helps.

Klare:
good afternoon i am looking to start application for canada as a study I need guidiance

@ ABIODUNDE,

It depends on the content of your Letter of Admission.Whereas some requires prospective student to make compulsory deposit others do not.

In any case Tuition deposit is not compulsory but it shows some sort of more commitment on your part when IRCC reviews your application.

I hope this helps.

ABIODUNDE:
Good morning house... Pls is tuition deposit compulsory, what if the school did not indication it that you must deposit... Does payment determine you visa approval

@marooooo,

You will need to shed more light on your relationship with your company.

Are u a director or an ordinary employee?.....because the IRCC would like to know

***why your company is sponsoring you out of many employees in their payroll.

***what your company stands to gain by embarking on this project among other questions

I hope this helps.

marooooo:
Good morning house. I have been a silent reader all this while. Congratulations to all the PPR receiver. Please I need the gurus in the house to help me answer my question.
Question:
My company wants to sponsor me for my study, please explain everything needed to be done as per this. Do my company have to fund my account or I just use the company statement of account and if yes, do I still need personal POF for some months
Please respondme ASAP.
*It is urgent*
Thank you...
Please I need help ooooo.
