Which office did your BVL come from?

Good morning guys, how do you do? The past two weeks have been extremely frustrating and never in my life have i been tensed and impatient so i know have no right to caution people when i see how worried they are about getting a response but it would do the forum a great disservice if i dont share progress about my application even if it increases the tension, it will increase the hope.
I got medical request and AIP and got BVL just now so i hope to get PPR soon. I ve been super scared and this fear has only doubled cause a final decision is what's coming next. i hope the best comes to all of us. If things go well and i get the PPR, i ll post my timeline here.

MER Sep2,AIP Sept3. Sent a webform twice.Waiting for bvl and ppr

MzMisty:


Oh wow.
What did you do? Did you reach out to them and when did you get your Med request and what stage are you in at the moment.
(Please forgive my many questions).
Thank you.

Same thing happened to me. Took bio August 26th and without it saying completed, i got my MER and AIP. Biometrics didnt say completed till the last day in September. Probably a system refresh did it

MzMisty:

Sanovsky007:
Please I need someone to help me out with an SOP that has got approval.

I think I was rejected because I did not convey clearly my intentions(I thought I did). every other thing looked solid, I want to reapply by December.

I don't intend to plagiarize, just need something to compare with to know where my gaps could have been.

or alternatively if the someone with experience in the house is willing to review my SOP I would appreciate

Good morning guys, i hope you are doing fine.
Although i have been following this thread hourly for about a month, i joined nairaland just a few minutes ago.
First of all, i would like to commend the selflessness of many of you that take it in your stride to help newbies with their application. Infact, if i had joined nairaland before applying, i can imagine how much more i would had learned.

What nudged me to comment is a combo of a few things and i will relate them to my application:

1)The issue of luck: Albeit trained, these visa officers are humans whose moods could flip at anytime and ascribe different amounts of weight to the same item in peoples's applications. If not for this thread, i wouldnt had known how difficult or tight canadian visa was. This is because spending two years studying abroad during undergrad in Eastern Europe came quite easy as regards getting a visa. Seeing the gigantic profiles of some people actually made me to think whether mine would even be considered at all. However we choose to look at it, luck plays a role when the v.o's discretion is all that's left to make a decision

2) The issue of announcements: I applied on the first of August and even my POF was combined by someone on this thread that got admitted alongside me for the same course in the same school. It seemed like rocket science how she did it though. Infact, she helped me to register for biometrics and we did biometrics on the same day just minutes apart. This lady gave out the same thing i put out. She has a scholarship and money in her account. She has proven home ties and a great job. On the 2nd of September, i got a medical request and she was the first person i told. I decided not to post it on the group because most people that do it do so to announce their arrival. Since my application procedure wasnt gotten from this thread, i felt it would be hypocritical if an announcement is the only thing i would do. You would notice that immediately after getting congratulations, they would go mute. This doesnt speak well because giving practical details of how and what you submitted is the least you could give back when something positive comes out of what you post on this thread.

3) The issue of God: I dont know why we Nigerians like to infuse hypocrisy in our opinions. This group is strictly for practical details and advice on how best to apply for a study permit. The lady that helped me register for biometrics and compile my POF is more God fearing, more religious and more helpful than i am. I got my AIP on the 4th of September but she hasnt even gotten a medical request. If i come out and start with " It can only be God or i told God to make his angels descend and exhaust the v.o and not have time for any other application till he approves mine', what impression am i trying to create? Am i saying God decided to help me and not help other applicants despite them having stronger documents and even more prayer prayer points? What if someone else starts with "It can only be Sango or Amadioha?'.Would that not so divide us? The spiritual attribution to your success should be kept as personally as you can or else some people who were refused would begin to think all they need is more prayers. Overly ascribing your success to prayers when others have failed even when they put in more than you only implies that you are mocking them indirectly. God did it for you? Okay keep it to yourself. Give us details and share your experience. There are other threads on nairaland for spiritual testimonies.

I hope my post doesnt get misunderstood. It's quite tough to be on the waiting list for months and even i am not fully gone. Let's keep being supportive and realistic at the same time. I really wish everyone the best

It will end in praise
