Hello House!

Any female going to Toronto in August for fall term? I would like us to connect please.
Travel buddy, roommate for the 3 days quarantine because Lord knows I will not take this vaccine in Naija, then possible roommate in Toronto or suburbs around Toronto if your school is there.


Toronto is damn expensive fah!!!!

Hi. Congratulations once again. If you have about 7 weeks to your travel date, try to get both shots of the vaccine. You can get them six weeks apart. The vaccine is legit, the govt received it freely from WHO. It is a cheap (free) sacrifice and would be a far better option than paying between $2000-3000 CAD for hotel quarantine and apartment.

I also read that only family members would be allowed to get a room together. You may be able to stay together for the quarantine apartment but the hotel would be a solitary cost.

Please how can i use flutterwave

You open a Flutterwave barter account. Fund it with your naira Atm card, then use it to pay when submitting your permit application.

Hope this helps.

Hello guys, please how can one pay for the visa application fee, my card keeps declining.

Most banks have a $100 dollar limit that prevents ppl from using their debit cards to pay for international transactions.

You may have to ask a third party to pay for you. A responsible friend/family member abroad could pay for you. I would advise that you exercise caution while doing this because it has lead to a 5-year ban for many on this platform.

Or u could use some websites like Flutterwave etc... to get it done.

Personally, I have a domiciliary Atm card that I used to make the payment. If you have one or know anyone that does, please use it.

debabaz:
Thanks Guys

So how do i go about doing upfront Medicals. Assitance will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

There are only two approved organizations for Medicals. Iom and Qlife.

Iom has two branches, one in Abuja and the other at Ikeja GRA in Lagos. Price 46,500

Qlife only has one branch at VI in Lagos. Price 40,000

Appointment and payment must be done before the d-day.

I don’t have links for the clinics but I’m sure if you Google them well you will find a suitable website to book the appointment

Welcome to part 19 of this thread!

This space has been booked for my Testimony, by the grace of God!

Wow. Just checking the first page. You booked a space and God made it happen. Glory.

Congratulations @backcheck I’m really happy for you. I also booked a place on the 2nd page and I’m hoping to share my testimony soon

Hi, People..

Submitted my application in May and i havent gotten any update. Can i apply go ahead and still do my medicals?

Thanks.

I don’t think a lot of May ppl have gotten updates. IRCC is still addressing February, March, and April applications.

Though I’ve seen some May applicants get PPR but they are usually reapplications, not first timers. I believe in July, they will also attend to May applicants that met the May 15 deadline.

I envision a rain of PPR in July and early August

debabaz:
Hi Guys,

I submitted application since May oo. done Boimetrics and no other update since then.

Can i apply for my medicals and do my medicals without them asking for it.

Yeah you can. Doing your medicals helps you save time. For instance, if you get a medical request, it may take you an entire month or more to get a date, get the results, and then get PPR request from the embassy.

So it is best to get medicals upfront if you don’t have much time.

Foski01:
Good day gurus...

To submit passport, is it supposed to be sent to VFS Lagso or to Nairobi directly through DHL?

Pls it's urgent... many thanks.

Send to VFS Lagos or Abuja.

OBANLABAMIDELE2:
Hello everyone please as my study permit Visa application is pending can I apply for a visit visa to Canada

Is Canada processing visitor visa right now? They only want ppl that have important reasons to visit their country.

Congratulations on your wife’s admission. Yes, getting admitted isn’t easy and it is worth rejoicing. I remember being on cloud 9 for an entire week after getting an admission letter from McGill.

I guess the reason why many ppl didn’t respond was because this is a visa thread and not an admission thread. Most of the ppl here already have some sort of admission. Either way, you’re right. The little wins also need to be celebrated. May God perfect the rest of the journey for you and your family.

NorthernshoreTS:


Congratulations LadyBlaq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and congratulations to everyone who have received their PPR. I am so happy for everyone. For those of us still on the journey, let us persevere in faith and trust God to complete that which He has started.

I also implore all of us to celebrate even the most little accomplishments. I posted that we had finally gotten admission into University of Regina after 4months+ of waiting and not a single congratulations from anyone. We only congratulate those who got PPR. Let us celebrate every the little victories.

Godspeed to us all.

Congratulations!!! Witnessing the joy of others makes me really happy. After going through your posts and GCMS notes last night, I’m so happy that your wait has yielded a positive decision.

Congratulations once again and good luck with your studies and other future endeavors.

LadyBlaq:
Words have failed me. Who am I that he is so mindful of me? A wretched sinner like me? With all my baggages, Grace has found me...


Will be back ooo

At this point, I only visit Nairaland to congratulate and read the stories of the ppl that got their PPR.

Congratulations!!! What a write up. I’m sure your SOP was an interesting read.

Long Post Alert:

Talk about being happy, today is one of the happiest days of my past one year.

A year and six days after my first visa application (AOR June 16, 2020), I finally got PPR on my second application (AOR: Feb 26).

Wow. That’s really fast. NSE?? I submitted May 11

philerhurun:
Thanks
Submitted my second application on the 6th of May 2021

Congratulations!!! Keep soaring

philerhurun:
God be praised now & forever.

PPR landed this morning.
I have been a silent reader, came here after my first refusal.
I want to thank all the Gurus in the house and everyone on this platform - who is either here to provide solutions or voice their challenges.
I have learnt so much from you all & God bless you.

Those who are still expectant, keep praying, activate your faith & get your GCMS notes as applicable.

God will do it for us all because it must surely end in praise.
I will post my timeline later.

Lamideyy:
Please has anybody who took the vaccine recently been able to verify their vaccination status on
Verification.vaccination.gov.ng ?

I just scanned the QR code on my card. It immediately generated a page that showed my name, My vaccination number and the dates I did it. I got the vaccine last week, I don’t know if that is recent enough for you.

Congratulations!!!

Dynatotita:
Good morning all,

God has done it for me.

My PPR dropped moments ago.

Online Application submission with NSE documentations: March 4, 2021
Biometric enrolment: March 5, 2021 updated to March 8, 2021
Upfront medical updated to passed: March 9 2021
More than 5 ghost updates
BVL: June 4, 2021
PPR: June 23, 2021
Series of reminders to Nairobi office
God will do it for all of you expecting this. Amen

Dropping

I also got AstraZeneca. I’m fully vaccinated. My experience with the first shot was a bit different from others. I was very weak, had body pain and peed a lot despite taking panadol. But after three days I was back to normal.

The second shot was easy. Didn’t even take panadol. No effect at all.

I didn’t pay. Completely free for myself and my family. Local governments arent charging. Can’t say for private hospitals.

CHIKACIC:
Just took my first dose of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine.
I was told to come back in 6 weeks time (2nd August) for the second dose.
Also that the side effects differs, but commonly headache, pains and high temperature. I was advised by the Nurse to take paracetamol once I get home or start experiencing any of the above side effects.

Hope this helps for those you need the info.

Congratulations!!! Can’t wait for PPR to also rain May applicants.

RichieJayy:
God came through for me.....believe me he'll do the same for you...

Second time Applicant. I will drop detail soon..

Congratulations!!!

kelvine95:
Good morning everyone, I got my PPR this morning. This is my 2nd application, having been initially refused dec 2020 on financial status and personal assets, and family ties.

Wow. This is a nice result. Glad you were able to pass. good luck with the rest of your application.

Octavoral:


Well, my result is finally out. Awaiting NSE REQUEST

Congratulations!!

Dabricious:
Good evening my people....
I have been saying it here since last week that God is in my neighborhood and truly he is.
My PPR came in this morning 8:42am.
God came through for me, I applied on the 23rd of February. I am a 2nd time applicant.

oyinlove15:
Hi,

We no longer need to quarantine if you have collected the full dose of the vaccine

https://twitter.com/TundeTASH/status/1402622704692477956?s=1006

I think it is false. The tweet has been deleted. It would be a nice improvement tho. The 2kCad can be used for other things. People that still have about 3 months to their travel date should try to get the vaccine, just incase they adopt this new method.

ireneayeni:

Good afternoon, please I am new here and need advice on some things;

1) please most of my funds are in stanbic ibtc bank and they do not make use of Mybankstatement platform, please how can i go about submitting it because i am considering going through the NSE route

2) If funds is being withdrawn after submitting my application from the account that has a bulk amount of my funds, can it affect my application or is there a way it can be tracked by IRCC

3) what are the things that are required in a reference letter from an organisation I no longer work with

Please gurus in the house kindly help out with these questions. Thank you

Hi!

1. Don’t transfer the funds. You need to show how the funds grew and a single lump transfer is a huge red flag. If your bank doesn’t do MBS, use regular bank statements.

2. Funds can be withdrawn after application but it is best not to do so. The VO may request for another bank statement at any point during your visa processing. Unless the huge withdrawal is for Payment of Tuition fee, please avoid doing it.

P.S your funds can’t be tracked. They only see what you give them access to via MBS or upload via bank statements.

3. I have no idea about this. Please wait on others to respond.

I would like to point out that if you’re going to submit an application as an employed person, you need to drop a statement of your salary account. This may not be relevant to you tho.

Are you sure you’re using the right platform. Cause I applied a month ago and I didn’t see this new platform.

Why not use the regular GCkey area? Cos from what I can see here, you can only upload a file of 2mb and this would limit you a lot. It doesn’t cost you anything to follow the tested and trusted path.

Hassan19:
*VERY URGENT PLEASE*
I saw a new way to apply for a study permit and I used it instead of the normal way of creating a GcKey. Now I think I’m the only one that used this path. Should I start again and go through the normal path?

*Note* I’m at the last phase of submitting my application.

Kindly check the picture uploaded below to confirm?

Has anyone used the method of applying?

And do I need to upload the Imme forms because I didn’t see anywhere to put it but I’ve already filled it in s section before getting to the last phase.

Wow. Sorry about that. Wishing you the best in your future plans. Whether US or Canada

Spectro:


Congratulations! It has ended in praise.

Please rejoice ooo, because it is not easy.

The long wait has been rewarded.


I got a refusal though, for home ties both in Canada and Nigeria. Apparently, my ties in Canada are way more than those in Nigeria. I will order GCMS note. I may reapply or opt for the US. But US is priority right now.

I wish you all a delightful outcome in your applications. We learn every day, and some experiences are worthwhile, even though they are a bit sad. But we move!

I applied on March 11 by the way.

March folks will be getting decisions. Stay blessed.

Congratulations!!!

Good day Guys
I got NSE request on the 25th of May and I had written the exam already even with the shortest notice, I just want to ask how long do I have to wait for my result to get to me so I can send to IRCC via webform.

Many Thanks

Hi. Got NSE request same day. Wrote IELTS June 3.

From what I understand, paper takes 13 days to show on portal and the Test report form would be delivered within 2-5 days depending on your location. For Computer tests, portal would be updated after 5 days and result would turn be couriered within 2-5 days.

I’m anxious for my results. Didn’t have much time to prepare. I wish the both of us goodluck

Victoryokondu:
Someone should please answer me oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Please anyone abeg, I have been asking questions yet no reply. I did my biometrics on the 25th of May yet it has not been updated till now. I did medicals on the 26th at Q-life yet no update on my CIC portal.

I have raised web forms but no response it is still showing that my biometrics is needed.

What should I do, I am so worried.

I’ll advise you to keep raising webforms until you get a confirmation that your medicals have been received. You can also message Qlife at
canadamedicals@qlifefamilyclinic.com for information on whether your medicals have been uploaded.

There is also the possibility that some action is going on your application behind the scenes. There are cases where nothing is seen happening on the portal before a decision is made. Just stay strong and keep raising those webforms.
