I am now convinced you are a troll

I figured this a while back. He will be asking ridiculous questions.

Imalwayshorny:
But I'm seeing people's getting permanent residency through study permit

Oga use AI and read up the right procedure and what to do legally.

Imalwayshorny:
Enjoy dey Canada ooowhy we suffer for data and here

One more things if you decided to stay in Canada after 90 days will they deport you back to Nigeria

Do what their law says and don't ruin it for the rest of us please.

AbelAbdul:
Yes in AirBnB.

Long term accommodation is off campus and I have already made arrangements for that. I am even heading there now.

Cool all the best.

AbelAbdul:
The officer also asked if I have been to Canada before I said no. He also asked which year I graduated from school

Are you staying at an Airbnb now? What are your long-term accomodation plans?

Ayodelemerit:
I just got a refusal this night, so painful. The officer was not convinced that I will return based on financial proof. I need help please. I will appreciate an experienced person that can guide me through my reapplication process. Thanks

So sorry about this. When did you apply? First thing you need to do is apply for your GCMS notes so you know the specific reason you were denied. Don't reapply blindly without revising your application to address the specific areas of concerns raised by the visa officer in details in the GCMS notes. Please whatever you do, do not fake documents,etc. So you dont risk a 5-year ban. All the best.

You forgot to add the rare instance of blindness as a possible side-effect.

BlackViper:
What does this even mean?

Alexjohn2020:
IRCC sent their refusal email today, Dem don finally do wetin dey their mind......

So sorry bro. What did they say? Are you self-sponsored? Hope you did not use lump-sum deposit? Is your academic progression and your tartget study not aligned? What did you do wrong?

9JAFULLBREED:
You'll get approved by God's grace and I'll also come here for my own testimony.

Amen brother. Great testimony incoming By God's Grace.

dsureguy:
Best of luck

Thank you.

AbelAbdul:
ok good luck to us all.

cc Mavor your permit how far any updates?

None so far. I am still within the initial 6 weeks processing time (when I submitted and did biometrics). Also you know the processing time counts down from Biometric capture date (4th Aug) and it excludes weekends and Canadian public holidays so I am looking at roughly either on/before the 18th of Sept (6 weeks processing time when I did Biometrics) or first week of Oct (under the current 9 weeks processing time), something good will come in By God's Grace.

Please if you're presently in Chile and can help us please.

Omo Nigerians dey waka ooo!! Chile ke!!

AbelAbdul:
Hello guys. Sorry I couldn't update you guys on the trip.
My school choked me with a lot of activities even before I left Nigeria. A lot of online and offline activities.
Hopefully I will take out time this weekend to do so.
I know a lot of agents would get bad at me because I would be spoiling their businesses with my 'do-it-yourself' guide. But who d F cares.
Where is that PhD guy that offers permanent study permit to his clients? He also insisted you must get a return ticket to get cleared by border officers.

Before I forget.
This is my first time flying international and I would say from my experience I would rate Emirates Airlines 101 over 100. From their staff to the neatness of the plane.

During my layover in Dubai I was lodged in Vogo Grand Hotel. I enjoyed their buffet.

The Dubai immigration officer gave me tourist sim card after stamping on my passport.

Guys stay tune for gist.

PS: do not send me pm I will not respond.

PPS: anyone sending you pm claiming to be AbelAbdul is a scammer. Expose the person.

My God continue to bless ChatGPT. It has been my immigration consultant throughout this journey.

First picture is the Dubai hotel door key.
Second picture is the tourist sim pack the immigration officer gave me.

Welcome back and great to hear that your experience has been pleasantly uneventful so far. May it always be so and may God bless your new endeavors.

To settle in and get use to the transport system here isn’t easy as people think. I’m dealing with body pain from walking to the bus stand lol 😂 Hopefully today or tomorrow I’ll get a bike 🚲 so I can use😆

Winter is coming. Bike won't help you.

Alexjohn2020:
but there are people here that applied since April/may

Honestly, I can't say. Suggest they keep sending web forms or engage a Canadian RCIC based in Canada who can engage IRCC directly in Canada on the individual case.

Alexjohn2020:
since june

the processing time for Nigeria is now 9 weeks

Wow!!! Was just listening to Jolene yesterday. Love that song. And she was a very strong supporter of the black American community in the US. May she rest well with our Lord.

Alexjohn2020:
So nobody has gotten feedback from IRCC, even those that did webform, na wa o

when did you apply?

blackendowed:
Hi guys am at the start of my travel plan, please want to confirm if my dad can sponsor me my wife and daughter for my study program in Canada

Yes, you can — but ideally, parental sponsorship is best suited to younger applicants (barely above 18) heading for undergrad, or younger unmarried applicants with only a few years of work history going for a postgrad degree or diploma. For someone married with a child, relying entirely on a parent to fund the whole family raises a natural question for the visa officer: why can't the applicant support his own household, and how strong is his intent to return home after graduating? It's not prohibited — it just adds a layer of scrutiny to your application. If you go this route, pair your dad's sponsorship with evidence of your own income, savings, and ties at home to soften that concern.

AbelAbdul, did you arrive safely?

dsureguy:
Mine was short too and I live in Nigeria but I have visited Canada 2ce... Took less than 3 weeks without upfront medical. (Family application)

I'm guessing your existing travel record with them helped

AbelAbdul:
You will get it insha allah

My mind says I have gotten it. I am self-funded with a very clean and adequate application plus I paid the 2-year tuition fees upfront in full. It is in God's hands and I am happy about that. Thank you for the encouragement. Best of luck to you in Canada and safe trip tomorrow.

AbelAbdul:
As at the time I applied, the processing time was 6 weeks but my study permit got approved in 4 weeks. no webform. I applied from Nigeria and a first timer


cc Mavor

Ok. I am praying for something similar before the end of Aug 2026 by God's Grace. I applied 30th July and did biometrics 3rd Aug. Upfront medical included.

amnotapervert:
Yes very true Applying from Poland 3 weeks and applying from Nigeria 9 weeks

Wow!!! Nigeria is now 9 weeks!!! when I submitted 3 weeks ago, it was 6 weeks.

undespicable:
Hi, I'm not an EU PR, but I have Poland temporary residence permit (work TRC), yes it was really fast, I wasn't expecting it to be this fast and straight forward, no webforms, no emails, but I think very few people apply from Poland. Maybe it's only applicable to applications submitted from Nigeria. Thanks a lot for the good wishes. 👍

Yes, most likely due to the low volume of EU legally based applicants.

undespicable:
Hi, I arrived Canada, thanks everyone for the support, I really appreciate. For my application, I applied from Poland and honestly the process was straight forward, no medicals required, from submitting my application to getting the application approval and passport request took less than 3 weeks. Feel free to ask any questions, though I might not be able to answer some private questions like program of study, the university. The program i will be studying is a tech program, I work in tech, and the university is a public university in Ontario. I have attached screenshot of my application history, list of supporting documents submitted, list of financial documents submitted. My experience at the port of entry was very straightforward, it was exactly what I prayed and fasted for, I was only asked two questions,

Officer: You came to Canada for study
Me: Yes
Officer: You're here for your study permit
Me: Yes

Then she stood up went to print the study permit and gave me, asked me to read and make sure everything is correct, then said welcome to Canada. I spent less than 2 mins there.

Also, I was not asked any document, not even LOA or letter of introduction though I had the printed copies of all my documents in my backpack, I only gave the officer the slip from the kiosk and my passport (i did my arrivecan online, a day before departure so it was really fast at the kiosk) then she asked those two questions which I only answered yes to both (no explanation) which she immediately stood up to print the study permit and gave me to check everything is correct and said welcome to Canada.

Everything was correct including the statement "May accept employment on or off campus…", my LOA did not include co-op (not applicable), although I wasn't asked to provide the LOA at the port of entry. Thanks once again everyone, this platform was really helpful, I also used Ai alot both in drafting my statement of purpose, financial explanation letters and also lots of questions through out the application process especially some private questions I couldn't ask here.

Your turnaround time is so short. Are you an EU PR? I thought all Nigerian applicants have a minimum 6 weeks turnaround time or is it applications from Nigeria? Congratulations and all the best in your future endeavors.

AbelAbdul:
How far ur permit any update?

I only just did biometric at VFS earlier this month
