Visa approved after 5 months waiting.
Three minors- Study permit.

Big Congratulations

kobobay:
We got medical requests today.

That’s real good news, fingers crossed on this end. Thank you for the update.

Dame24:
Is there anyone else waiting for study permit decision since December? For fall 2026.

Just a couple of ghost updates, medical passed and eligibility review since January. Last ghost update a month ago.

Mine has been since November, no solid update yet.

Sire20:
Honestly, the wait is tiring since November. My sister also got submission confirmation for her son’s WP on 24th of last month. I guess applications from Nigeria are being treated same day with same flow. We are hopeful and looking onto God for a positive result.

We keep staying positive while waiting.

kobobay:
I got a confirm of submission on the 24th last month, and that's all.

Same here Boss, Same day with same update for my daughter.

kobobay:
Any update yet.

None yet
Any with you boss ?

Hello, I had to come back to your comment because I’m honestly stuck right now.

I’m having serious difficulty wiring money into my sister’s GIC. Initially, she opened with CIBC, but they said they don’t allow third-party transfers, so that didn’t work.

Then we tried TD after opening the account, but they refused a TD-to-TD transfer. The money is currently in my TD account, and they suggested that I could transfer the funds to any bank of my choice and then wire it from there to the TD GIC.

At this point, I’m really confused and don’t know what to do next. If you can share exactly how you made yours work, I’d really appreciate it.

Please take note of that having someone pay on your behalf or making multiple payment and I think everything should be fine.
My brother did a walk in to the CIbC branch close to him and a wire transfer was done.
Same Surname tho, maybe that matters

kobobay:
I don't know why it is taking so long before the application is processed. Our kids applications are already more than 3 months.

I guess it’s teaching us patience, submitted application in November, so I guess it’s around same time for us.

kobobay:
Are you outland or inland?

Outland Sir

kobobay:
I got confirmation of submission for them today. Nothing more.

Thanks, I got confirmation of submission for my daughter today as well. I’m applying for the family, myself, daughter and wife.
Confirmation of submission came in for myself on Feb 3.
Let’s keep the hope alive.

kobobay:
Any update yet?

Nothing yet, it’s quite frustrating, I’ve done everything except contacting MP but its still same.

kobobay:
Please have you received any update yet?

No update yet, I received AOR letter/ Submission confirmation on the 3rd of Feb and I thought that was weird as I thought I should have received that since last year when I submitted application,
I’m positive for us all tho, we’ll hear good news soon.

kemmyk:
Thank you so much for your response . But if I may ask, is the transfer from his Canadian account?

Yes his personal Canadian account

kemmyk:
Please I need help. I am in canada sponsoring my sister from Naija, I want to open a GIC account for her, now my problem is that I learnt I can’t open the account here and deposit the money directly. Apparently the GIC has to be opened from Nigeria and the money deposited from Nigeria. My question now is that is there a way I can go about it without losing money due to the exchange rate and conversions.I don’t have Naira I only have Cad

Secondly can I use an online service to notarize my affidavit here in canada, will IRCC accept?

Thanks guys

I opened with CIBC last year August, I’m still in Naija waiting on ircc and my brother in Calgary did a wire transfer to the details provided. They’ll need LOA from the school tho and some other documents.
You might pay extra wire fee of 25 or 50
I can’t remember how much exactly
She can apply and provide you with the wire details like I did or you do that on her behalf if you have all the details needed.
He did a physical notarization though.

SOPWriter:
It's wise you deferred your enrollment, and since you did, the urgency of your case has lessened. Regardless, it won't hurt your application to seek a status update from the processing center involved with your application, which is most likely the Nairobi office.

Note that a direct email to the case processing center is more targeted than a general web form, which you relied on solely earlier. So, I recommend you do send the email.

Many thanks Sir/Ma
I’ll do as advised.

SOPWriter:
Your kids applications are already outside the current processing time, which is 7 weeks. You can submit a web form or email the processing centre to request a status update. If they have closely approaching enrollment dates, you can also cite them to further justify your follow-up.

IRCC Web Form: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

Corresponding Email Addresses:

IRCC General Inquiries: questions@cic.gc.ca

High Commission of Canada in Nairobi (processes visas for Nigeria): nrobi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

Wishing you favorable responses.

School was supposed to resume on the 6th and I submitted multiple web form prior then with no response, then I had to defer resumption.
Would you still advise sending an email to the corresponding email?
Please advise.

kobobay:
I applied for my kids since November 19, I have not received any single updates. Any applied within that timeframe?

I applied days earlier than the 19th, no update yet on my end as well.
