Testimony time!!!

���������

This is for my brother and his family whom I applied for.

1st December 2020 - Application Submitted

4th December 2020 - Biometrics done

10th December 2020 - Upfront medicals for him alone.

15th December 2020 - Medicals passed

22nd December 2020 - NSE request letter for ielts only

4th January 2021 - Medical Request letters for his family

5th January 2021- Correspondence letter for validity of biometric information

5th January 2021 - Original Passport Request Letter

He hasn't even taken IELTS he registered for.
His profile is yet to change to approved
His family is also yet to receive Original Passport Request Letters. I guess because their medical tests are pending.

His course is a certificate course of 2 years, resuming in May 2021.

Congrats.

You got a mail to submit Ielts alone? Wow...

Pls could you share us the docs u submitted for pof... If possible, the amount in it....

JosephYemsol:
Nice one.... Quick question: also directed to @chocs, lekiboboe, ralhpudoh, Frank, justmellow, all other protocols duly mentioned.

1. Can an organization (such as companies, local schools, etc) send a gift deed, is it acceptable?

2. Is it compulsory to provide the SOA of a donor (person giving the gift deed)

3. Is it ok if an applicant who's a self sponsor receives gift deed?

Pls gurus. I await your response. Biko abeg ejo....

Chocs:
Oh dear! Sorry you can’t get to me lol! My training was not in Nigeria. And even if it were, that would be an honour. I’m licensed to practice in 2 EU countries and in Nigeria (very proud of it). Shame on you for looking down on Nigerian-trained medical doctors. Keep trolling yourself. You’ve been corrected by several people but you’re still sticking to your wrong information, only the good lord can save you. They are all referred to as yellow card as I stated previously but they are different. Keep being ignorant.

Hi chocs. Although I understand that no man is an island of knowledge, I was shocked when deepgutter quoted your message and wrote "wrong"... I was like, " reeeeeeally!!!!?". You are one of the gurus I respect a lot on this platform and pls, don't disappoint me by replying to thrash. What would you expect from a mouth of a deeeepgutter?

Pls...

deepwater:
A medical doctor who doesn't know what a yellow card looks like and the content therein

I shouldn't expect more from a Nigerian medical doctor sha.

Hellooo deepgutter!!!

At least apply maturity if not sense. No one said what you uploaded is not yellow. This thread is for Canada study permit inquiries and not asia. The guy emphasized on Canada.

You were corrected - it' won't kill you neither would it remove your tier nonsense if you could just apologise or better still admit you posted a right info on a wrong page.

MerryCoke:
Please, someone should respond

Hi merry!!!.

Happy new year.

I'll advise that you prepare for winter 2022. That will help prevent unnecessary stress and worries...

Although it's possible (June to sept), especially with the NSE Scheme...

Bt just so to be fully prepared, apply for the winter 2022 program...


All the best.

awys:
Okay this gift deed is just like an attestation between you and the person giving the money (donor and donee) explaining that he or she gave you the money how the money was transferred,the date of the transaction and the sources of revenue of your sponsor there are different format online just Google sample of gift deed then you
read through and edit it to your situation then go to Ikeja high court to notarize it with their seal and stamp then you and your sponsor with counter sign it as well just like the way an Affidavit of Financial Support is done

Nice one.... Quick question: also directed to @chocs, lekiboboe, ralhpudoh, Frank, justmellow, all other protocols duly mentioned.

Philadelphia:
Thanks dear.

My question is

Can one be good to go if she pays 1 year tuition then present GIC of CAD $12,000 and bank statement showing about 1m naira?

I'm having a somewhat similar case here...

FINALLY MY LANDING GIST !!!

we departed lagos on Sunday 27th December 2020 with EGYPT AIR.

before my flight
so i woke up at about 3:10AM on sunday, bags packed then it dawned on me me that i was finally leaving Nigeria. i had mixed feelings at first as i was heading to a new country i kept refleting o the journey so far from when i joined this thread in March 2020 how helpful its been cause i didn't use any agent, the long wait with unertainties from IRCC VFS and the likes. when the day broke i was filled with joy as my sister kept hyping me, so went to church to praie and thank God for everything before Leaving for the Airport.

LAGOS AIRPORT
So i got to the airport at about 11AM thinking i would just walk in as i had cheked in online the previous day, but no o, na so them diret enter queue . the checked all necessary documents, it was intact, i didnt need to settle anybody a dime. i saw one beautiful babe but didn't know it was Dameelee since i wasn't sure she was the one so i sent her a message through Nairaland DM she idn't reply so i said nor be she.
naso plane come o, looking very very scary, wasn't sure if i shuld board but when you look nigeria, you nor go thing twice run enter plane.
ADVICE- Bring everything you need cause services at the airport is expensive (Biro N100, Photocopy N300, Mask N500, Withdraw Cash N500 for N3,000 etc)
so the plane left, and time for food naso them give us bread and bread and bread mixed with chicken and cheese, my pain with the food esp the bread i that they were all very cold. for me the food is ZERO, so after 5 hours we got to Egypt, went straight to the immigration section, then i realised i didn't travel with my Tuition Reciept but thank God it was nott noticed. Then i confirmed this beautiful lady i saw in Nigeria was Dameelee and we connected she was nice, we waited for 4hours and now it wa time to board Cairo to Toronto. the plane was so beautiful and sharp.

tho i never enter plane before but the flight was loooooooooooooooooooooooong

after about 12hours we got to Toronto, OMOOOOOOOOOR!!!! Na me be this? from Warri to Toronto? i wan happy die but base on who we be we just package like say na normal life for us but if you see my MIIIIIND!!! i don throw backy tire. was still looking out for Dameelee hoping she nor miss for air cause she also got window seat
Fist time i saw Snow Live through the window i just dey smile inside my mind but outwardly we package ourself

fast forward, we got to immigration and my tuition reciept became an issue, i was delayed for some minutes cause they had to verify if truely iwas a student of CONESTOGA COLLEGE, finally baba gave me my Study Permit. OMOOOOOOOOR!!! i saw angels rolling re carpet for me to enter, naso me and Dameelee dey call family telling them we don finally land and cross POE

The HON RALFUDOH contacted me to pick me at the airport, when i stepped out of the aiport, MY PEOPLE OOOOOO the cold wen slap me eh infact the cold when HIT me, two seonds i reverse enter airport again before person turn okporoko finally HON RALFUDOH CAME jamming Naija gbedu songs in his car, was so warm inside.. As we dey drive, naso i dey talk OMOOOOOOOR!!! na me dey canada llike this Na me dey see Snow like this.
HON RALFUDOH was so nice that the gave me served me RICE and Confirm Pepper Stew, the food enter wella for the cold.
story still dey o but make QUARANTINE FINISH FIRST before them find me come house.

i kept saying when i sleep and wake up and i am still here then i am in Canada as i wake up open window see snow dey fall then YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! i am in Canada

i want to sincerely thank everyone in this platform foryour constant help by dishing out valueable information as i did everything from scratch till i landed. GOD BLESS Y'ALL

special thanks to HON JEPHEPHE and HON RALFUDOH for helping me settle down without stress.

to everyone still in this journey, keep faith alive as 2021 is yours to conquer.

today is Day 7 of my Quarantine and honestly i am lovely it here canada is sweet with friendly people and i am loving the cold now.
Hon ralfudoh has been helpful since i landed with anything i need. thank you so much

Nairaluck. It's high time you changed your name to *Cadollarluck*

RALPHUDOh is a super wonderful man indeed. He heard about my small issue when applying to to conestoga and he sent me a mail, assisted me and I got my admission...
I didn't say he influenced d admission ooooo. Make people no go disturb am with messages o....

Anyways, pls be ready to assist me too ooooo... Lets reduce the pressure on ralphudoh. Get your car fast, tap into Canada wealth fast and be ready to pick me at the airport by August..


So shall it be...

Tracy2020:
Happy new year everyone,

Please who’s traveling to Winnipeg this month?

Also I’m asking for a friend, she’s 24 and has an OND in Marketing and would like to further her education in Canada. Can she do a PGD/PGC? Cos I know it’s HND and BSC holders that do it. What about going for a BSC? Please I need advice and opinions on this. Thank you

Nah, am not so sure about this. She can only go for an advanced diploma.

My suggestions, let her do hnd, then apply for pgc/pgd...

Blavkmaann:
Men just Dey travel comot this country, hey God ooo!

Make una no go take all the space before we come o!

Fratermathy, I see the Good job you’re doing for people in Montreal! Very good! I’m coming in April, my school is Concordia, please I’ve told u all I need.
I’ve reduced my slaves from 70 to 69. 1 be like who go get Covid-19......

So erm, I need my palace in place!

YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL, tha Montréal guy that want to pay back Fratermathy Favour, no fear, people plenty, we dey road, you go hep tire!

Please let some people stay back and arrange this country, if all of una go, who go protest, who Sars Go shoot? Who Buhari wan Dey lead! Make una reason am!


I Dey with my Heineken abeg!
Please can I go with my special Cow to Montreal! I no Dey too carry foodstuffs like that. Jus one cow and some chickens.......

You are always crazy....


The only 1 time you sent a serious message on this platform was when u emphasised on d dead country...

chocs pls I need your advice on sth. Can I send q mail?

I aiidy did tho...m sowie

brovaSketch:
pls did you use a naira Mastercard? It's been declining my transactions.
also, could I send you an email?

Yes bro... You r free to send me a mail.

U cannot use your naira MasterCard for the cibc payment...youd have to use the flywire payment option Nd that one has a more expensive exchange rate (395/1cad)

I replied your mail.

Akannitommy:
Yes, but not in all cases so we shoud not generalize. Consider someone with 10 years work experience and 2 masters (not even one with one of those earned from the USA). But the person is 40 years old and the wife with a Bsc is over 37 years already, how would that assumption work? I think you can add a "caveat" to avoid unintended misinformation.

Yeah I agree with you. Not in all cases. There's an age advantage.

BaesDiary:
Hello everyone. Thank you all for this beautiful thread. I have some questions, and it would be so appreciated if I can get answers.

My hubby, 34YRO, has M.Sc in Information Technology with 8 years relecant experience. I am 32 years old, i have M.Sc with a CGPA of 4.2 and CGPA of 4.3 in my B.Sc. I am employed, but in a completely different field entirely. I look forward to doing my PHD with full funding, and I am already compiling emails to send to prospective supervisors. However, I will like to migrate to Canada with my hubby and baby.


1.What do you think is the best route for us? Should we go through EE or PhD route through me?

2. If we are going through PHD route, what is the possibility of going with my family?

3. If going through scholarship route for PhD, what is the minimum amount of POF required?

4. Is it compulsory to attach CV when emailing supervisors?

Thank you all.

EE is d best...

If we have any individual that has Masters already... THE BEST BEST BEST ROUTE IS EE

With EE, one gets the same privilege as a citizen... Much cheaper study fees, etc...


For express entry, you only need to ace Ielts as long has one has masters, 3years experience...

Uzomachukwu:
This is the most interesting, most exhaustive and (at least to for me) most useful landing gist I have read in this forum.

Thank you so much, Akanni, for making out the time to narrate your experience. You have given us so much important information in one post alone. I've read your post three times already and as well
taken screenshots of it. The luggage tips and other airport wahala you've so clearly detailed for us here are really going to come in handy when I eventually start my own journey.

Aah, IRCC! I never believed I could be waiting for BVL and final decision up till this time. Damn! It's 2021 and I'm still refreshing my GCKey account, searching for new update. This is perplexing, very.

No choice now than to order GCMS notes.

As a PhD student who has a 4.17 in undergrad (2015), a 5.0 in MA (Dec. 2019), several published academic papers and a Dean's fellowship (full funding: tuition waiver, living expenses of 22k CAD and option of Graduate Assistantship for extra cash not counted towards my funding package), I had thought that getting a study permit would be easy and fast. But, yeah, it's 6 months and 15 days now, and old boy is still anxiously refreshing his GCkey account. How so sad!

At this point, I'm even beginning to get mad at IRCC. But then, it's their country, and as they'll quickly remind you, study permit/visa is a privilege not a right. Still, it's all so sad!

Wow... This is somehow scary.. Like our gurus would say... Don't give up whatsoever... Pls raise gcsm notes asap...and contact frank, justmellow, chocs, raplhudoh for further assistance...pls... My prayers with you...

AbionaT:
Chocs I appreciate you
Can I go as a student first and then apply for the express entry when I get there?
How long do the express entry take?
My husband has Masters too, but he is a business man.

You can surely go as a student first then eventually for the EE (express entry). But I would really emphasize on chocs advice... Just prepare for EE. Focus on Ielts first (LRSW = 8777) at least. You have a very good chance since both yourself and your husband have masters cert.


One you get the PR, you can then choose to study, the cost of this will be lesser since you will get the privileges of a citizen.

Pls, don't go for the adv dip...unless of course u have a genuine reason to switch careers.... Emphasis on the word "genuine"...

Chocs:
If he/she hides the master’s, they’ll have to hide it for life because IRCC no dey forget. It’s good to take note of that.

True chocs... You v given a perfect idea...

Blavkmaann:
You and who is using second hand?

I’m I going to a second hand country??

Please o!

Mazi blackmann...
I as a person will be waiting for your travel stories, how the GIG was able to drop you and your maidens plus your warriors at Montreal..

AbionaT:
Hello my nairaland family, I've been a silent reader for awhile and I've seen the wonder of God in our midst. Pls I need your help on writing SOP.
I was given admission from NBCC for fall 2021, I want to do a diploma course but I'm a master degree holder and working presently with government.

I want to use the diploma certificate for something else aside my job in the nearest future by the grace of God.

Bsc: Bus Admin
Masters: Bus Admin
But the admission is a science course.

Thank you for your help in advance

Hello dear sister. If I may ask, by saying "diploma", do you mean advanced diploma or a graduate diploma.

If advanced, I would strongly advise against this idea as it won't fly.

If grad diploma, would make sense that you don't shoe your masters cert else, the big question would be, why would you go for a grad dip when u have a masters aiidy...


You are free to ask further questions...

brovaSketch:
Thank you, was the cibc immediate?

Yeah... Like u making a card transaction na....

brovaSketch:
Hello Honorables!

Pls for prospective Conestoga students here, how did you pay your initial deposit and what is the best and fastest route? Thanks you!

I used the cibc online payment...
U can also use d western union but payment has to get to the Canadian bank within 3 days...

I go join you soon.. Much thanks to ralphudoh for my admission into conestoga.
