Monthly or Annual?

He is definitely referring to monthly

ExpertNLer:
okay thanks. It appears you applied for experienced hire, what position did you apply for

Business Data Analyst

ExpertNLer:
Please can you clarify?

DId you initially complete the SHL assessment initially and you have now been reinvited to do a proctored one that will happen some time in May?

It’s a virtual SHL exam, I did not know people had people had been called for SHL previously. The invite says an online proctored SHL Assessment

I got an invite for online proctored assessment on the 28th of April. Assessment will be mid May.
I’m not in Nigeria though, I applied from out of the country

Lekiboboe:

So sorry about your refusal
Await the response of the gurus to the bolded

The thing I can point out here is about the program you went for based on the VO's comment about your proposed study plan is fbis6

Your Bachelors degree & Work experience aligns with Agribusiness management but the the qualification (diploma) of the program you wanna go for is not a good career and academic progression for you. That is, a B.Tech holder going for a Diploma program.

A PG.cert in Agribusiness Management or related program is a better option

See the link below for that

Please what course can you recommend for a fresh graduate of Agriculture with a CGPA of 4.42

Long Post Alert!!!

Please neglect any typo.”.

First time Applicant

Application Submitted: 4th of May, 2021
Biometrics Completed: 6th of May, 2021
NSE Request for MBS: 14th of May, 2021
Upfront Medical: 29th of April, 2021

I applied with IELTS (band included in my application. The bank my salary is being paid isn’t on the MBS platform and my sponsor (my sister) is a Canadian citizen, therefore there was no way I could provide an MBS.

I responded with a letter stating why I couldn’t provide MBS and then I reattached the same proof of funds I had submitted earlier.

Response to NSE request: 14th of May, 2021

I was prepared for the request, so I replied almost immediately.

I received a confirmation of receipt of my response after about a week, but my eligibility did not start. My medical was also not updated to pass. I sent a mail to all the emails that is usually shared on nairaland with my medical slip attached. My medical was updated to pass the following day.

Then the silence began!

I ordered for my GCMS at the ending of May and I got it June 29th. It was basically empty. No notes, eligibility hadn’t started, even my medicals wasn’t updated to pass on the note. But I still combed through it anyways and I figured out my NSE request came from Beijing China, despite Nairobi and London been the Primary and Secondary office. I also noticed all the emails I received from IRCC was usually received midnight which also kinda confirmed my theory that it was been processed in Beijing, as their working hours was also at that time.

I sent several emails and webforms to Nairobi, London and Beijing to get update on my application as my eligibility never started. The mails seemed not to be getting anywhere so I decided to contact the MP for my school region. IRCC responded with a very generic response which gave no real indication as to the progress of my application.

At this point, I knew it was only God that could help me as I had to make a decision on the deferment of my admission before Sept 1st.
I keep praying and believing God.

BVL dropped on the 25th of August, 2021 (eligibility started same day)

PPR: 27th of August.

Documents submitted

PROOF OF FUNDS
1. My sister’s Account Overview
2. Assets owned by my sister and her husband
3. Letter of Sponsorship co-signed by my sister and her husband
4. Affidavit of support co-signed by both of them also
5. My 4 months statement of salary account

The account overview provided by my sister just showed all the balances in the several accounts (with the same bank) she has with the bank she uses. It also showed the value of the assets they have. So she didn’t provide a statement of account per se.

She made commitment by transferring my first year living expenses and also made part tuition payment.

CLIENT DOCUMENTATION
1. Statement of Purpose (4 pages)
2. University certs and Transcripts
3. Letter of employment
4. Letter of introduction from employment
5. Letter from my manager stating I’d be employed once I’m done with my masters.
6. Affidavit of return
7. CofO for my Dad and Mom’s properties
8. Valuation report for the properties
9. My parents Passport datapages
10. My siblings birth certs
11. Affidavit of return

I studied mechanical engineering and my work isn’t so related to Data Science (my program is Masters in Big Data) but I had done some online courses (both paid and free) in data science and I duly included them. I also had the opportunity of doing some data analysis at work which I also mentioned and also made sure my manager made mention of it. I also made mention of how important it is for me to study data science as it’s a fast growing field with numerous opportunities. I included hyperlinks to several websites to buttress my points. I also made mention of a friend of mine who got a data science role with an IOC and stated his renumeration. I stated that I would be coming to Nigeria to get that kind of high paying job.

I majorly used my parent as home ties, stating that they are retired and they will need people to look after them given the fact that they are aged. I then made mention of the fact it is customary in Nigeria for children to inherit their parent assets. That way I didn’t have to make them do a deed of transfer of the properties to me.

I also made sure I provided a proof for every claim I made in my SOP and also referenced the attachments so that the VO would find it extremely easy to read the SOP and also navigate to the referenced attachments.

Though my application wasn’t perfect, I believe God perfected it for me.

Thanks to Frankrobbn1, JustMellow, Lekiboboe and others who provide answers to our questions.

Specials thanks to those who shared their stories and timelines as I basically handled by application myself due to knowledge I gained from those stories.

I’ll advice anyone yet to apply to calmly read previous threads and ask questions.

I pray that PPR shall be the portion of those still expecting a decision.
For those who were delayed, pls order your notes and re-fire!

PPR Alert! Will be back to drop my details

NSE request: IELTS submitted, NO MBS

@Obiag

Have you sent any follow up email to Nairobi after you received your BVL alone?

ForevaTT:
Hi,

Since the 1st of April 2021, I've been a silent reader on Nairaland. I learned about web-forms, e-mailing MPs (which I did), and even the official email address to contact for updates using this platform.

My application was approved this morning after nearly 5 months of checking my e-mail every day and sending multiple web-forms. God takes all the glory on this one.

I have a Bsc. in Computer Technology from BU but applied for an Advanced Diploma Business Admin course at Seneca College and my application was approved. It happens to be a three year course btw! This means it's very possible to apply for a diploma even with a Bsc.
My mother is my sponsor and note this, i supplied a fixed deposit investment from a reputable Microfinance bank (alongside an access bank statement of account). 95% of the monies were with the MFB. I also supplied my company bank statement with SCB.

I also supplied the following :
1. Lease agreement i had secured with a student residence on campus.
2. SOP written by me (edited by God ) , explaining my career path and study purpose. As a footwear designer, i included a catalogue of my designs, CAC documents and also attached my CV.
3. Sponsorship letter from my mum narrating my business achievements and why she chose to support me further.

Overall, I believe God's favor was at work here because I've seen many more qualified people be turned down! What God cannot do does not exist!

Keep praising God in anticipation, you are next !

Congrats! We shall share ours soon!

Lovesarrow:
Omo my brothers ppr just landed now. No medical request...
God I'm still waiting chai

Congrats to him. NSE route?

dfutbolar:

I got a refusal as well. Luckily the GCMS notes I ordered will arrive tomorrow and I'll be able to see the VO concern which will help me see how I can refire say for January intake.

Mind you I've paid 8k+ fees
Have a valid US visa.
Travel experience Austria, France, Turkey, Cyprus,Ghana,USA.
Have living expenses transfered to me by sponsor with a gift deed to back up.
Have savings of mine in salary Acct of 3m
Sponsor also has quite huge amount.
But with gcms notes coming in tomorrow I'd know what to do.

Maybe I'll open a GIC this time, or even go fund my US Acct with the living expenses and apply from US, all thoughts crossing my mind but I'll be calm till tomorrow to see my notes and see what can be done.

First time I will ever be denied a visa.

I'll be back to share a good news in future.

Sorry about the refusal. I think this is related to home ties. Your notes will shed more light.

Please keep up the strength and refire.

kunbeeee:
Yayy! It's PPR!! I have never been so scared to open a website before. God is faithful.

First time applicant. See below timeline. I did not see any ghost update throughout.

Congrats!!! NSE Route?

Blazca:
My bp was high in my medical, will I fail my medicals because of that?

No

Lifeis247:
Update:

Application submitted 9th May with upfront medicals and IELTS.
Biometrics 10th May.
Since then, no further update whatsoever, just silence.
I was just reading up on how to request for GCMS note this week.
Then, checked my profile this morning to see Medicals updated to pass 28th June and the Original Passport Request and Correspondence letter dropped in my profile this morning (29th June).

I must thank @Lekiboboe especially for looking at my SOP twice. God Bless you man!.
Thanks to everyone supporting this platform with helpful tips and guides.

Also; I want to confirm if a single dose of the vaccine qualifies one for quarantine waiver or one must complete both jabs before a waiver is possible?

Congrats man. Did you submit MBS?

maestro09:
Please should I transfer my funds from my salary account - which is not the MBS platform to another of my account that I rarely use but on the MBS platform.

Is it advisable to do that and then provide an updated statement of account for salary account showing that I made the transaction from my account just for the sole purpose of generating an MBS.

I am considering this as it seems IRCC is mainly focused on those with the full NSE requirements.

Note: I submitted my application with IELTS of band 8 and I also received a request letter for MBS to which I responded with the same traditional account statement alongside a letter explaining that my bank isn’t in the MBS platform.

Please help.

Please anyone. Justmellow Anon123 Frankrobbn

GCMS take longer days too to arrive

You also don’t know how much longer your application will still be processed for. Ordering for GCMS will give you an insight into how your application is being perceived by the VO, giving you the opportunity to quickly address any issues before a decision is finally made.

Olanrewajuluke1:
Is like am the only one left unattended to, since October last year, all I got from them whenever I mail them is ( under active review ) till when, am tired

Order for your GCMS

Amenmay:
January applicant, Upfront medical successfully booked for July 08, Qlife Family clinic.
Let me see what’s delaying my application.
Thank You JESUS

Also request for your GCMS note

humblesifon:
Any contribution please?


Hello everyone,I'm new in this section, I've been reading the helpful tips posted by members of this forum and I'm so elated by it,keep up the good work and help will come to you whenever you need it at any point in your life.

Please I need a good advice,I'm about to get married and I intend making it low key and travelling with my wife after the marriage through study route with my wife as the applicant

Here is our profile.
1.I am 28 years old, chartered accountant currently working with a state government,pay is around 120k
2.My fiancee is a graduate of accounting education,she was the best graduating student with first class honours and currently with the bank and she's 25 years old,that's why I think she stand the best chance to land the study permit and probably with a scholarship from the school.
*Please* my question is;

1.What course will she study that will grant us permanent resident after the duration of study?

2.Which of the Canadian schools that will not require GMAT and IELTS that will grant permanent residence easily and consider scholarship?

3. Which of the Canadian schools is relatively cheap and she can get work as she's studying as we don't have much to spend at the moment
Please N/B budget is #3m for fees and logistics
Please your candid advice will be appreciated.

Your budget of 3m is too small considering the fact that living expenses for a year alone is above 3m.
Her best bet is to look for a masters program that comes with funding that will cover her tuition and also stipends. Your 3m can then come in as emergency funds for flights and all.
Please wait for the gurus advise

Spectro:
While I await my GCMS note, these are possible reasons for my refusal. For the sake of new applicants, these are the things I did wrong?

I have siblings in Canada who have families. I and my parents are the only ones that reside in Nigeria. I didn't pay tuition fee (there was no acceptance fee attached to my program either). Hence, there could be a 'Purpose of Visit' concern. Could it be he wants to go live with his siblings rather than study?

I am single, mobile (This is not an issue for applicants, unless there are other things to consider, such as what I stated earlier).

I anticipated this, but I underestimated its impact.

I believe if I have to reapply next time, paying tuition is vital. Once GCMS note comes in, I will get a better understanding of what really happened.

Sorry for delay. I’m sure you will re-fire stronger.
Please I have a question, what home ties to Nigeria did you present in your application?

bussibeey:
Hi guys, please is it possible to reschedule an appointment with qlife and how do i go about that. I can't find the option on their website

Send them an email stating that you’d like to reschedule (it’s advisable to give them a reason). They will respond to your mail with the next available dates that you can choose from.

Please is it possible for additional documents(NSE) provided to be reviewed before review of eligibility begins?

Patricknetter:
Pls, I want to appoint for my biometrics but after opening a new account they said am going to get a activation link to verify/activate my account but since over 5 hours now... I haven't seen any activation link in my email. I hv been trying it. What could be the problem.

Use yahoomail

gracedson:
Thank you. I tried to book the appointment online but it is not sending the activation link to my email, would you suggest i book the appointment via Telephone?

Try using yahoomail

dyce101:


You have submitted you IELTS result I don’t think they will send you NSE request again

It will end in praise

I don’t think that’s entirely true. I know someone that submitted IELTS and still got NSE request few days ago.

childgodly:
Did anyone else experience issues when booking their biometric appointment? This One Time Password thing is just stressing me because it takes like ten minutes for it to be sent to my email and I guess that by that time it has expired because when I input it it says that it is incorrect.
Can anyone offer me any solutions?

If you’re using gmail, try using yahoomail. It worked for me.

.

Please how long does it take to receive a biometrics request letter after paying for an application?

maestro09:
Good day House.

In the Family information Form - IMM5645, what address should I use for a family member who is currently in Canada on a visiting visa. Should I use the address in Canada or the permanent address in Nigeria as the form asks for “Present Address”.

Please anyone. This is quite urgent

JDforeal:
Good day
My brother is my sponsor
Bu it he’ll be sending 8million to my account for first semester fee and LE from the 10.2million he has in his account

My question is
Do I submit mybankstatement for both my account and my sponsors account?
Thanks

To digress abit from your question, does your brother have dependents (wife and kids)? If yes, how does he plan to provide for them if only you is taking 8 million from him.

I think you should mention if his wife is working to show that she supports the house with her income.

I have an upfront medical with Qlife for the 30th of April. Is there anyone willing to swap for the first or second week in May?
