Queenfunlola:

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by merciee: 6:17am On Apr 19, 2023
Someone here got PPR yesterday na
XtraordinaryGen:
It looks like for almost one week now, visa officers haven't approved any application. I'm no longer seeing PPR alerts 🤦



I also want to ask:
If someone did upfront medicals before submitting application and after some weeks, received medical request on his portal... Is it possible that he/she can pass the medicals and still be refused visa?

This is me trying to give myself hope😭
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by merciee: 6:15am On Apr 19, 2023
I thought our study visa applications are processed in Nairobi??
I’m thinking temporary visas might not be impacted.
dtrixna01:
this is the reason. They’re on strike. Now I wonder if it’ll affect passports on getting stamped
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by merciee: 6:16am On Apr 06, 2023

FranklynJonin:
When I applied I got a funding letter from my supervisor too but I also showed bank statement of my mum(sponsor) and her land documents. I explained in my SOP and letter of sponsorship that my scholarship covers my tuition and leaving expenses but my mum has enough money to sponsor me without the scholarship. Also she would be funding my travel and first month before the funding kicks in.

Sorry for the long post guys, Good morning all.

PPR alert.

2nd time applicant

Good morning guys, I’ve been a silent reader since the previous thread. I learnt a whole lot on this thread and I say a big thank you to all those who take out time from their busy schedule to answer questions that people ask and help out in whatever little way they can.

My Canadian travel dream was birthed in 2018, I was applying to lambton college and one of the requirements then was ielts. I travelled to port harcourt for ielts exam and actually forgot my international passport in delta state where I was residing (my village people right �) and was not permitted to write the exam, na so my money take loss �. I sha moved on to other things and found myself aspiring to japa again after seeing how our beloved country was not countrying.

I gained admission to canadore college in September 2021 and had to wait to get a new passport because mine was expiring soon before applying for the study permit. I applied for the study permit on the 16th of January and after waiting for so long that I felt like I was losing my mind, the heartbreaking refusal message came my way on the 2nd of August 2022. Omo I was highly devastated and depressed for a minute but i immediately applied for my GCMS notes which came out in less than 2 weeks and after seeing the visa officer’s concern stating my employment letter on file but no proof of income because I didn’t submit my own account statement, I started planning to apply again but had to wait because my sponsor who is my mum had executed contracts and my pof would have been lacking cause majority of the funds for pof was coming from her accounts.
Fast forward to November 12 2022 I reapplied, my previous medical was updated on the 5th of December after sending one webform the previous day and the rest Is history because God perfected what he started.

What I did differently
1) I submitted my own statement of account.
2) My mum did a gift deed for which I only wrote a letter of gift deed and we both signed on it.
3) I wrote a letter of explanation which contained detailed explanations for every lump sum deposit in both mine and my sponsor’s account with documents to back them up. I also explained in this same letter the previous officer’s concern and what I was doing differently in this application to tackle it.
4) I prayed and fasted.

The joy I felt after receiving my ppr is immeasurable and I pray that everyone waiting would experience same feeling in Jesus’s name AMEN. Please if you can apply for your study permit yourself, I’ll advise you do. The first time I was refused, I used an agent but this time around I did it myself after gaining valuable insights from here and YouTube as well. I’m definitely not advocating against agents cause this thing stressful small sha grin but if you can do it yourself please take your time and make sure there’s no rush in your mind cause Canada study permit application will test your patience �

It’s PPR!!!

Applied for Visit Visa alongside with my Spouse who was applying for Study Permit, and Visit Visa for our two Munchkins - May 15th 2022

My application was cancelled in June, IRCC requested I apply for SOWP instead and refunded the application fee - Submitted June 30th 2022

Spouse Study permit was approved August and she resumed September

Munchkins Visitor Visas were approved September 28th, I got medical request same day

PPR today, November 3rd, 2022

It’s been quite interesting and I’ll advise people always apply as a family on the old portal if they have the funds to support it!
