Dear NL Family,
As cold water is to a thirsty soul, so is goodnews from a far country, may the goodnews of PPR drop for everyone expecting. I speak to the hearts and minds of the Visa Officers to favour cause of people waiting in this house. There shall be rejoicing in this house and your homes in Jesus name. Amen
Keep the faith.

You could also check for FB groups of Nigerians in Manitoba, you might find someone there who can help.

Ayotola2020:
Hello all,

At last I got my PPR today after 5 months and 3 weeks , almost 6 months and 26 days after bvl�������������� The waiting was excruciating.

Special thanks to the rear gem on this platform @makano. He is truly competent in visa processing. I almost gave up but he gave me some advices yesterday on how to mail IRCC which I followed through and my PPR came within 24 hrs����� �

Infact my application was part of those he posted yesterday with bvl and no PPR for 26 days.

This is my timeline:

Application date: 10th Nov,2021

Biometrics: 12th Nov,2021

Medical request: 15th March, 2022

BVL: 24th March,2022

PPR: 20th April, 2022


Like I said earlier, special thanks to Makano. I am a silent member on this group but I got a lot of information here that helped me. Makano kept reassuring me when I was down.He is vast in the visa processing and also very compassionate. God bless you greatly sir.

God bless everyone here taking their time to share their timelines. I would be an ingrate not to share mine.

For all other waiting, it shall all end in praise �����

1) Yes, you will pay the N46,500

2) Email them with your preferred date and time.

Teebabe2806:
Hello house, how’s everyone doing? Please I’d like to ask about the upfront medicals?
1. The one on Q-life, do we pay the 46,500 that’s showing on the portal after paying visa fee?
2. If I want to use iom, do I have to go to the office? Because I’m finding it hard to get a link to book my slot.

Please a sister needs your help here!! Thanks I’m advance

Wesay01:

Yes, but it was not NSE route

May God grant us all quick processing times.
[quote author=CharitoJames post=112007081][/quote]

Oh sure. I am well aware and i didnt see them say it was NSE route too.

Also reading through the thread, most people have acknowledged that the NSE route is no longer effective.

We all pray for quick processing oh.

DestinationCann:
Some have gotten in 11 and 14days though.

Congratulations. You early go airport Interesting gist

[/b]LANDING GIST!!!

[b] At Murtala Mohammed Airport
I carried myself to the airport on 13th April 2022 at 9am my flight was by 2pm with Egyptair, I thought I was late guess what I got to Egyptair side and met just 5 people waiting for Egyptair to check our bags. I started taking pictures .

From all i have read on this thread, the NSE route is no longer effective. People no longer get visas in 20days.

Everyone apply normally via the GCkey portal or new IRCC portal

All the best

Trailblazer21:
Please I have a question and I will appreciate a response my fellow nairalanders.

P.s - I already have a gckey account.

Please make una help me ��

Congratulations.

iykedpetes:

The eagle has finally landed 3rd time applicant ..God has finally answered my request

Congratulations. May your journey be blessed. Thanks for sharing and encouraging others here.

LavishG:
I finally got my PPR!!!

I've always been a ghost reader on this space, but I have specially created an account because my PPR journey is unlike any I've read here. I applied for a student visa for the third time on 18 November 2021 after 2 refusals but this story doesn't start there. As you listen to my story may you remain blessed.

Glad i could help. I pray you get your offer soon.
All the best.

BenedictStinson:
Thanks a lot. I used it today. I wouldn't even have heard about them if not for you

fcisca:
Dear Kweje,
Our circumstances are similar:
My ward is going to University of Manitoba and she is also in her first Semester here. Her study permit application has been submitted and she’s going for medicals on Monday.
Could we link up please?
Regards.

Hi Fcisca,
Absolutely. Quite interesting.

Annettevoke:
Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee


How do i address this refusal, house pls advise. Was refused today applied Feb 28th.

Sorry about it, the next one will be a positive outcome.
To help you, i believe the house will need more details about your application.
Details like what was your POF like,
your tuition fee amount? Did you pay a deposit?
Are you sponsored or self sponsored? If sponsored by whom? How did you proof your relationship to sponsor?
Etc

Share details so people can advise better.

Order your gcms notes also to identify the real reason behind the refusal.

All the best.

Isyma:
Guys please I just got admission at fanshawe college,
Tuition fee 15k plus, I'm supposed to pay half of it within 30 days, session starts September 6th 2022, I'm planning to pay the half tuition, I want to apply for visa this month aswel.
whc advise do you have?

Fanshawe requires you to pay half tuition to confirm your seat. You can use E-Form A from your bank for that.
Asper Visa application. Go to page 1 of this thread, you will find the information you are asking for there. Read up the first 3-10pages.

Start gathering the documents that relates to you from page 1.

All the best.

PatrickOkunima:
Thanks a million for the information you shared yesterday. I have applied to Fanshawe College, and I paid $0 for application fee. Thank you o. May God bless you abundantly.

Awwww. Amen oh. Glad you found it useful.

All the best.

BenedictStinson:
I tried to apply from the college directly but they sent me a mail with list of agents that are required for Nigerian students
Does the applyboard allow to bypass that requirement?

I used applyboard for my ward and her admission offer was in less than 4days.
If you try what i said in my earlier post and it doesn’t go through then you can look for a Nigerian agent. ApplyBoard works with students from all over the world.

All the best.

BenedictStinson:
Abeg who has processed admission into Fanshawe college because it seems all their agents love to exploit the situation with ridiculous exorbitant prices

Use ApplyBoard. Create a user profile. ApplyBoard doesn’t charge you, you only pay college or university application fee.
Fanshawe college was a FREE application for the candidates i used them for recently. You might get a FREE application too.

Admission offer was also very fast too. Check that you meet course requirements too.

All the best.

pixzy:
PPR JUST DROPPED

THANK YOU JESUSSSSSSSS

Woww. Congratulations. Just the other day you were concerned about your POF. God is faithful.

May the land favour you.

All the best

Benwems:
is it true that if you exist canada(visit Nigeria) during your study or during your PGWP you would be given PR or you wouldn't be eligible for PR?

I don’t think that is true. Study permits visa are multiple entries visas which means you can enter, leave and return to Canada while on the visa.

I stand to be corrected.

Best256:
Good afternoon everyone.

Anybody who's good in SOP. I need your assistance.

Check on Technix, Makano… they have been referenced severally in the group.

All the best

buchito1:

Guys story don finish, make i go back to sleep. I had to do this, make una no think say I don run, which I can't.

It has ended in praise for me. I hope it does same to each and everyone here.

Thank you.

Thank God for His mercies. Enjoy the land. Quite interesting gist

shinaxurdick:

Hi Shinaxurdick,
Please do ask in the group.
Let the house know what course your HND is in and your area of interest as a PG course …there are gurus here like @Lekiboboe who share course ideas here.

All the best.

emmalextemtop:
Which bank is that?

I used first bank, i don't know of access and gtb app

The new “Access More” App allows you set you transfer limits.

emmalextemtop:
Hello, i have not been to pay for my flight booking since morning, the only means i has was found but my back app can't transfer more than 500k...

Any help please, i can pay to Ethiopian Airline, even through wakanow.

Someone said i will have to get to the bank for upgrade, is that the only solution please?

Some bank apps allow your adjust your transfer limits by yourself on your app. Have you tried that?

You could also ask some who trust you to do the transfer and pay the flight for you so you don’t lose the booking and you send the cash back to the person.

All the best.

Chechem:
Good evening everyone,
Please when proofing fund for myself and my sponsor, is statement from our Nigerian banks acceptable? Or must it be in Canadian Dollars?

If not of the above, I need directives on how it is done. Thanks everyone...

Nigerian bank statement is acceptable and used by applicants.
Ask the Nigerian bank for MyBankStatement. Most banks do it and sends the statement straight to the embassy.
Also do read page 1 of this thread. The first few pages will help you understand how to put your application together.

All the best.

Atigba:
After the one year work permit

What kind of job you need to be eligible for a permanent residence

Hi Atigba, the 1 yr PGWP allows you to work and stay in Canada for 1 year. In that period you are to find a job or do what is required to obtain PR if that’s your desire. Different PR pathways and different requirement in different provinces. Some dont even need a job offer or work period.

The challenge is get that PR within 1 yr that you are allowed to live legally in Canada. Hence to avoid the risk, some people opt to get a 2nd study program after their 1st year study.
Its called a 1+1
1+1 =2 years of study
2 years of study = 3 years PGWP. Thats 3 extra years to get that blessed PR.

All the best.

VonVictor:
Greetings house,

Please who ever has used eform A should help me out. After applying and getting the application number, will I have to take it to the bank to process it or will it be done automatically. Especially for Stanbic ibtc which is what I used.

Any help and input will be highly appreciated. Thank you

From what we hear, Stanbic IBTC is pretty fast. It took a week for my friend’s Form A

Chubbyface:
I got married last year, and I have done change of name. But my passport still holds my maiden name, and I used my maiden name to apply for my admission and Study Permit. Hope this won’t be an issue as some of my documents like bank statement is changed to my husband’s surname name(to show relationship as we planed applying together with our son)

Explain the name difference in LOE with supporting documents like newspaper publication of name change, Include marriage certificates and pictures.

Canadaboy3:
Testimony again and again...

God be praised
After getting my PPR

My course is for 7 months
But IRCC gave me 2 years visa ..

May God be praised !!!

May testimony not cease on this journey for you. Go and prosper in Jesus name. Amen.

Congratulations

Akinz75:
Good day to guys
Pls I’m about to start my application journey but I have one concern, which is, I’ve been using my father’s name as my surname since my childhood (firstborn) while my siblings are using our family name as their surname, will this affect my home ties in any way?

Do you have birth certificates with your parents full names on yours and that of your siblings?
You could show that and mention it in your LOE.
Family pics of your family
Siblings birth certificates showing same parents.

The gurus can add to my thoughts or correct it.
