Hello Ruby

A Masters degree program is the ideal degree for you considering you finished with a result that can get you a Masters admission in Canada.. But at the same time you can as well go for a PGD, but I will advise you go for a PGD in Civil Engineering considering that was your first degree program and also you have years of working experience in that field.. Changing to a different field at this time will be difficult to convince the Visa officer after so many years of experience in a particular field, except you have very convincing reasons on why you wanna switch over to project management...

Hello everyone,
Big Congrats to all pprs.

Pls the gurus in the house, @ketima, @makano, @frankrobbn and others i can't remember.

I would like advice on my proposed course of study. I have a Bsc Civil Engr.(2.1) with about 9years work experience as a civil engr both design and onsite. I applied for masters(Meng) in Civil Engineering at some universities in Canada since November/December but I have not heard back from them. I have recently got admission for a graduate certificate in Project Management in a Canadian College.
I would like advice on if opting for a graduate certificate in Project Management, rather than masters civil eng, will be favorable when applying for study visa.

Hello house

This goes to the PPR hopefuls,

when dropping approval timelines, pls indicate the portal used for your study permit visa application, if its the new portal or the regular portal most applicants are used to.

This will make us know the approvals gotten through the use of the new IRCC portal. when the success rate of the new portal is ascertain, we all should be encouraged to make use of the new portal as it gets rid of the forms.

Personally, I have not seen any approval with the new portal, so pls if you know you got approved with the new portal, kindly signify.

The use of the new portal should be encouraged in this new year and also in this new part.

It shall surely end in praise for all PPR hopefuls.


Peace.

Congrats to you buchito1

I enjoyed reading through your timeline..

Like play, Like play you applied, like play like play, you got your Visa..

Amen to your prayer, and I am glad my little contribution to your queries helped to some extent...

It has finally ended in praise...

Canada cant wait for you to explore..

Peace

LONGGGGGG POST ALERT!!!

Guys I really do not know where to start from!
I'm short of words. God's just too good to fail.
I'm still in shock cause I can't really fathom why my application was this quick or why I was just favoured, but I give God all the glory! For he alone is to be praised!

I've been following this thread for about 4yrs now. Just observing with no plans to submit my application. Was just here for the information basically, and to read people's process (which I enjoyed doing) didn't even know I'd eventually apply.

Time came for me to apply, I was scared to the Bone! I was scared to doing it myself! My sponsor (brother) literally begged me to look for an Agent to handle my application, I was skeptical at first, but I succumbed cause I didn't want any issue or stories that touch.

I contacted an agent on this platform, he charged me 150K for admission and 250K for Visa. My sponsor agreed to pay for the first stage (admission). Las las I eventually paid 190K for only admission!!! Only school admission ohhh!!!

Then it was time for Visa Application, and I was told Visa Fee has increased to 300K. And I was like hell No!!! I no go school? Am I daft? No! I can do this shi# myself. 300K no be 300 naira.

That's how it began, took a leap of faith and decided to do and handle my Visa Process myself, and God blessed me with the GOLDEN Mail (PPR)! Guys please do this stuff yourself!
You can do it! Yes YOU! You can!
There's nobody else that cares about your application than you! You don't need any agents NAIRALAND is the real deal! NAIRALAND taught me everything I know and used to get my Approval.

I'm a FIRST TIME APPLICANT, my timeline goes thus, I used the NEW PORTAL,

Biometrics Completed - 3rd December 2021 (updated same day)

Eligibility Review Started - 25th January 2022
Then a good man, a blessing, friend turned brother, a brother from another mother, Teemenzo (God bless you for me brother, he has always been with me from the beginning of my application) adviced me to send a mail to Abuja which I did, I eventually, reluctantly sent to everybody (London, Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja) yesterday, 26th of January just to disturb then. Lo and behold, today,

Ketima:
Sir,

Is true. have confirmed it. Used it to pay for 3 schools. CAD$120, CAD$120, and CAD$80. It all went through.

Hello Uchechi

Below are the procedures of dropping your timeline:

the date you submitted your application,
date of biometrics,
date your medical request dropped or date you did your Upfront Medicals,
Date your Medical was passed,
Date your Eligibility started,
you can put Ghost updates dates if you wish,
Date you got your approval/Original Passport request
And most importantly, the documents you submitted and what you did differently...

Approved applicant always do this to give back to the family that helped them prior to their Visa approval. Many people gain from this timelines, including the GURUS cos there might be an update information or a new thing the applicant did..

Do not forget to also drop your Landing Gist when you get to Canada..

Canada cant wait for your shine....

Try Access..

Many applicants said Access bank's limit is $300, I have not confirmed it though..

So you can try Access debit Card and give us feedback..

MY APPLICATION IS STILL IN PROGRESS

PLEASE WHAT BANK DEBIT CARD CAN I USE FOR VISA PAYMENT?

IT IS DECLINING GTB, ACCESS, ZENITH

PLS HELP MY FINAL PROCESS

I am sure it was an agent that told you this..

Check my last post to your previous post...

Don't be deceived, no one 100% knows the operation of IRCC Visa officers..... Maybe the operation of UK and US Visa officers can be predictable, but not IRCC, give it to them..


Peace

Alphadynasty1:
Pls guys I want a respond from the gurus on here thanks, question is that if the VO intentions is to deny my application they wouldn’t have withheld my visa application for this long right ? And for them to still have my application, is that a good sign there is a chance I get a visa approval, cause people told me if they wanted to deny me of a visa they would have notify me in the first or second month after biometric, just wanna confirm how true is that. it might sound like a ridiculous question just a little nervous l�

Hello Alphadynasty

One thing to know about Canada Visa application (study permit, Express entry) is that you must have lots of patience..

We just saw of an applicant who applied January 2021 and got PPR today, meaning his application was a year before PPR came..

Many applicants here have applied since May and have not gotten a Final Decision yet from IRCC..

A final decision will definitely come, and this does not depend on how long an application spends, I have personally seen an application that spent 14 months and still got refused and 12 months got approved, and also a month application got approved and 3 weeks application got refused, so do not make the mistake of predicting the final decision of an application by how long or how early and application is.

Like I always say, no one can categorically predict the operations of IRCC immigration/Visa officers...

Peace

Alphadynasty1:
I am a newbie here a silent reader, I did my biometric oct 27 2021 and still haven’t been notify for ppr, guys I just wanna know, is there anyone in the same shoe like me, and moreover even do they want to deny a particular candidate for the student visa does it take this long just curious thanks

This is the 3rd or 4th time I am seeing this question from you today..

And I have answered since your 1st question, so what is with the repetition of questions ma/sir..

Hello Uchechi8691

Before I give answers to your query, have you dropped your approval timeline with documents submitted?

You have gotten approval since November last year, and you didn't drop your timeline here..

And now you are back with more questions without giving back to this family..

OH MY LORD JESUS!!!!!

What did I do to deserve this love!!!!!

Who say God no dey!? Come tell it to my face!!!!

Hello Nowa

You may not like my reply to this though, but what I will say is the absolute truth..

Its unfortunate you gave your application to an agent that is not too knowledgeable with this Canadian study permit process, cos like you said, few have gotten their PPR with lower closing balance.. Now the agent went to tamper with your statement of account, thereby making it fake..

And you confirmed in your write up that the agent submitted a fake SOA, even if you employ an immigration lawyer, you will still end up
with a BAN, cos you don't have evidence to show that the SOA is a genuine account..

Now you will get a BAN, and the agent's business will continue.. This is why we preach to you applicants against the use of these agents that are just after your money and nothing more....

If the SOA was genuine, then you would have had a case....

The agent obviously does not have the in-depth knowledge of how Visa Officers see SOA, cos if he knew, he wont have spit out that rubbish from his mouth.. If only he knew Visa officers are not only concerned about the closing balance but also the inflow and outflow of the account, how active the account is.. I have personally worked with an applicant who paid full school fees with an inflow of 120Million and a closing balance of 1.5 Million and still got Visa.. Your agent really messed things up for you.... Its well


You can still do your best to reply though, and be truthful with them as regards your situation..

Peace

Nowa001:
Hello everyone

I’ve been a silent reader on this forum for months now. I submitted my study permit application since May last year and I’ve been waiting on IRCC for a reply since and i just got a message from them today.

So it turned out i got procedural fairness letter this morning and i was told I submitted a fraudulent statement of account. I used my mum’s account statement which had over thirty nine million as in flow and forty one million as out follow but had a balance of three million because she had just recently purchased goods at the time. During when i wanted to submit the application, NYSC had just posted me and i needed to go to camp so my friend connected me with an agent who i sent all my documents to and paid him to help me submit the application because I didn’t want to wait till after camp before submitting so that my processing time would start counting. While in camp i was having network issues so I really couldn’t use my phone, when i was finally out of camp i saw messages from the agent telling me he had submitted but he had to improvise because my balance was low. I called him immediately and he said he edited the bank statement and increased the balance, i was really furious because i had seen on this platform people’s visa being approved with less balance, but the deed had already been done all i could do was cut ties with the agent after that.

Now i have 15 days to reply IRCC with a new statement of account and also I’m to attach a letter of explanation explaining the falsified document, please gurus in the house I’ll need help in writing the LOE and also I will appreciate any advice from the house on how to go about this

Congrats to the 1st PPR testifier of part 21..

What a good way to start this new part..

The next step is for you to send your Passport to either Abuja or Lagos...

Hello Jayifeanyin

Changing your school or program

Before you change your school or program, you must meet all the conditions of your study permit. This means you must be:

- enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI) and
- actively studying while you’re in Canada.

Changing your DLI if you’re outside Canada

If you change your DLI before coming to Canada and you don’t inform IRCC , you won’t be allowed to board your flight.
If your application is still in progress, you can inform IRCC that you changed your DLI by submitting a new letter of acceptance using the IRCC web form or email.

If your application has been approved

If your application for a study permit has been approved and you change your DLI, you must submit a new study permit application with a new letter of acceptance.

You must also pay all the fees for the new application.

Peace

Good day Nairaland family.Hope we are doing well.

Congratulations to all PPR recipients, and a big thank you to all the gurus in the house, contributing in one way or the other...God bless!.

Pls, I have a question; any issue with changing course outside Canada, say Marketing Management to Project Management (DP) within the same DLI?
I like both courses though...

Your contribution/input will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello victoria

This actually depends on you though.. If you end up choosing the course for May, you will have to inform IRCC of the change in course, cos IRCC communicates with schools to know the status of every international student in every Canadian institution, just to confirm if such student is actually studying in Canada, they may wanna confirm the course too.. So to be on a safe side, if you eventually change your course, make sure you inform IRCC, so you wont also have issues at the POE..

If your proposed course is very important to you, I will advise you wait till September when it will be available, as your Visa will be valid for a year.. During the period of your wait, you can save up more funds, adequately prepare for your departure and so on...

But at the end the decision is yours to be made..

Peace

Victoriaweb:
Hi everyone, my application was approved last week, contacted my school and I was told I can’t join in on the January session, that’s to wait till September, My school suggested they have a course related to my course opened for May session. My school said as long as I am not changing DLI that it’s okay to change course. My concern is will it be a problem at the point of entry?

Hello Anmama

Her not having her business registered isnt really a problem , but I wanna assume she issues receipts or invoices to her customers on every sales or transactions made, cos you really need to convince the Visa officer that your sponsor makes steady income to be able to sponsor you.. Its not about saying she makes 3million every month, do you have documents to back it up?

Submitting her personal account is not also a problem, but when the Visa officer sees in the account that their is an inflow of not less than 3 Million every month, they will like to know the source of such income, reason for submitting documents to back up your claims..

But I will advise, since your mum makes such amount every month, she should register her business not just for Visa reasons but for other reasons...

Peace

Anmama:
Hello @ketima, ...and other gurus

I am a newbie... Please I will like you to give me more on this sponsorship of a thing.

Okay my Mom is going to be my sponsor and she has a mineral (soft drink and other other) depot and a Frozen food. For the two business is makes at least 3m monthly but her business is not registered and she uses her personal account for the business. Although she pays her taxes.
Please I don't if I can still use her as my sponsor since she does not have a business certificate.

Thanks, please help me shed more light on it.

Good day

Please I need advice or contribution on the application I am running for my Wife (Study Permit) and Kids (Visiting Visas)
Missed out on the January 2022 intake for University of Manitoba because of the delay by IRCC
However I emailed the school to ask for deferral till a later date, but was told that there are no space for May 2022 and September 2022 intake and was told that She is on May 2022 wait list.
I had to take that as I have paid the whole school tuition.
Also She has another admission with University of Winnipeg for September 2022.

Now my question is should we wait for University of Manitoba … as I read that we still have 150 days from our suppose intake day till we provide an updated Letter of Admission or

Do we withdraw our application and go on to pay University of Winnipeg for September 2022 and update the IRCC of the development.

I really need clarification on this.

N.B The application is still running and the latest update is (Upfront medical passed on the 22nd of December 2021).

Thank you

Hello Emilo

If you have been following this thread, you would have seen applicants of over 40years getting their Visas..

From my own personal research from other sources, I have seen a 60 year old woman getting her study permit Visa...

Just make sure you convince the Visa officers of the reasons why you are going for the proposed course of study and how it will benefit you on your return back to your home country..

If the Visa officer is really convinced of your reasons, then your Visa is guaranteed..

Peace

Emilo:
Dear alll,

Someone said IRCC considers age for student visa application. Is it true? considering my wife is about to apply and she is 38 years old and we are applying for diploma study?

Hello Ketima

First, I wanna commend you for the good Job you doing here, you are being noticed Sir/ma.. God bless you..

To the bolded, When we started on this thread in 2016/2017 Myself, frank and Mcovex, Qudnom, Ralfudoh and some other Old gurus, we were joyfully giving advises for free without even thinking of turning it as an income.. Like I was Jokingly discussing with Frank some days back, that there was a time we didn't even think of making money from this, but because many applicants have really taken our voluntary work for granted in the past, we just had to switch so it wont look like we actually wasting our time doing good here.. Now Frank and Justmellow are fully in the business, and I am partially in the business cos I have my own Job (I am a Computer programmer)..

Personally I cant count the number of applicants I have helped getting their Visas for free in the past 3 years, and when they get to Canada, gbam, they cut communication with you, not all though.. I remember one moniker, I saw her status during the Winter 2020 and Jokingly repleid her status that she is really enjoying Canada slow oo, her reply was "Brb".. Since 2020 till now, she isnt back yet..

And this was someone I spent the whole night after coming back from work, working on her SOP and LOE.. I remember sleeping 3am that day cos she was to submit that same day, but she is now a big gurl in Canada, so we aint relevant to her again, at least she has gotten what sh e wanted.. If I had collected professional fee, I would not have felt so bad about it..

That is why I make it clear now, I will continue giving my professional advise on the thread here for free, but once you message my gmail account Makanoglobalservcies@gmail.com or you send me a DM, be ready to pay for my service cos I will actually create time for you out of my busy schedule cos of the nature of my Job..

The truth is that we Humans, we do not value what we get for free, we actually value what we pay for.. At least when you pay for the services of the Gurus here, your mind is at rest compared to those agents outside.. And please note, many applicants have been calling me agent, I am not an agent please, I am just priviledge to be one of the Knowlegable peeps here.. So please no one should call me an agent when u come ot my DM, that name is already soiled and I dont wanna be a part of that name cos I am transparent in my dealings with people..

Peace

Ketima:
Is really sad, came online I saw phone numbers flying up and down and I thought nairaland is dashing free MB.

I must say it, Is so unfortunate that of recent newbies and silent readers have started turning this beautiful platform upside down. Derailing from the principles the pioneers instituted that made this platform informative and educative.

I don't blame the gurus (frankrobnn, justmellow, Lekiboboe, makano, Spectro, Liann20 to name but a few), they must have noticed all this and don't regularly come as they do before now ( though my observation). I still give it to Lianna20, makano and my able Google Lekiboboe, who are still doing their wonders here. Of recent, makano stoped giving free application assistance cos of this singular attitude. Sorry makano, when you decided to not do it free, I silently didn't support of it as I felt is better to give out free. But I'm so sorry to have not supported it, now I see better. This set no deserve am walahi.

Just look at someone who just got PPR and is now forming guru and is dragging peeps to his group to teach them what he learnt here oo. And what even amazed me is that he said he got the info to support his application from here and people still are sending numbers to him when they could have still gotten the infos from here as well.

Is obvious Nigerians don't like to get things free. They prefer when they are charged. No wonder agents are messing them up here and there.

Hello KennyJoy

To the bolded, this is something I have been speaking against but since peeps refuse to listen, I stopped it.. Cos I am just a knowlegable person here and I dont have the right to tell peeps how to live their life here cos I am not the creator of this thread..

I remember some months back, one moniker here(wont mention the person) actually came on my mail and started bad washing me by saying I am a selfish idiot,bla bla bla. That the reason I always speak against whatsapp group for study permit application is cos I dnt wanna lose customers , that they also need their customers and so on.. In my mind I was like this person should be under 18 with her way of reasoning, and I decided not to reply her... So that is why I have been quiet about it.. For the peeps that know me, I have been speaking agaisnt this whatsapp group of a thing, except the whatsapp group for students going to the same school though..

This particualar moniker @JIOKE1994 got his/her Visa and the next thing to do is to create a whatsapp group.. Please I wanna ask a question, if everybody had created whatsapp group and the gurus are actually in this whatsapp group and not active on this thread, how would you have gotten your Visa cos Like you said, you got all the information you needed for your Visa here.. So now you have gotten your Visa, the next thing to do is to create whatsapp group for the same purpose of this thread, no wonder we do not really see detailed approval timelines on this thread again..

Lekiboboe, and many others that are already in Canada, did you see them opening a whatsapp group? U still see Lekiboebo contributing here despite being knowledgeable and also in Canada.. Common Visa you just collect, you are not even in Canada yet, you have opened whatsapp group.. If Frank, Myself or Justmellow and other experienced peeps had opened Whatsapp group, you think this thread wouldn't have "died" since?

That is how one moniker from this thread sent me a WhatsApp message that she will love for me to be in their WhatsApp group, after discovering that the purpose of the group is same with this thread, I declined and told her that she should tell her fellow group members to come back to this thread so it will still be in existence...

Truth be told, all these whatsapp groups for the same purpose of this thread is indirectly killing this great thread.. Let us all pour in our questions, contributions as regards Canada study application here, it helps the community here, not just the newbies but also the GURUS..

Peace

Hello Goshen

The bolded depends on you though, many applicants have done family application and few got approved, why many got refused.. One thing to know about Study permit application is that it is a Temporary Resident Visa i.e you are expected to come back after the duration of your Visa.. Now going with your family for a temporary Visa shows you guys have the plan to Japa and not return, this is the reason why the Visa OFFICER often refuses Family application for a study permit application.. But like I said earlier, few have gotten approval for their family application and this is because they were really able to convincingly explain to the Visa officer the reason for the family application..

So if you know you don't have strong and convincing reasons for your husband going with you, I will advise you do what most married applicants do i.e applying alone, and using the spouse and Kids as home ties, and when you get to Canada, you will apply for a spousal permit for your spouse and visiting permit for the Kids..

Many married peeps use this method, and we have experienced more approvals with this compared to a family application..

Peace
