Congratulations to your family

Please did u send mail to them like everytime? If yes, pls which of the IRcc mail

Your eligibility review started when pls

Cos we kinda have same timeline, applied July23rd

Yahwehsdota:
I'm back with more details following our PPR.

I actually wrote this testimony on the day we submitted our application trusting God in advance that He will grant my family of 5 visa's and He did. I'm testifying on behalf of my husband since I'm the one that basically got all the information here on his behalf. Ours was an imperfect application with sponsor, gift deed and other inadequacies but God came through for us. God was with us from the very beginning and even the choice of school for my husband came from Him. I heard clearly in my spirit "don't be afraid, I'll help you (Isaiah 41:10)this visa is a done deal" and I held unto God's word in the midst of challenges. We submitted our application in July for resumption in September and I told God to please make it happen fast cos He promised early help in His word (Ps 46) and He came through for us.

I want to specially thank my Father in heaven, my Savior, Redeemer, King, Deliverer, Helper for bringing this to come to pass indeed we are the one's that God showed mercy and we have returned with our headstones of grace and dances of celebration!!

I also want to thank all nairalanders for their contributions and tips, not forgetting the gurus and all those who were always ready to answer questions regardless of how silly they were. You guys are the real MVPS. All tips for this application were gotten from nairaland. I prayed a lot, joined nsppd prayers, fasted 3ce a week and declared the word of God personalizing it over our application using the following scriptures: Gen 39:21, 2cor 1:20, prov 21:1, Ps 102:13, John 14:14, Ps 34:4-5 but it wasn't about my prayer, God showed me mercy and His grace qualified us.

We are first time applicants and these are the documents we submitted for my husband's application (student PhD) , SOWP for me and Study Permit/visit visa for 3 kids

International Passport
• International Passport (with travel History), Birth Certificate.

Letter of Acceptance
• Offer of Admission

• Letter of Sponsorship from Sponsor (hubby's sister ).
• MBS for sponsors personal and salary account
• MBS for applicant’s Account
• MBS for spouse (myself)

Kids
• Int’l Passport, birth certificate
• Parent Offer of Admission
• Email of Enquiries on Admission for Elementary School in Canada

• International Passport of Parents

For my husband's SOP, he wrote on the importance of the course to his career, its benefit to his place of work, personal business, community and Nigeria as a whole, he wrote on his experiences and educational background and linked all to the proposed program. He broke down POF in a tabular form for clarity purpose.
Also, he gave them strong reasons why he needs to go with his kids and wife. He also dealt extensively on Home Ties which are parents, siblings, commitment in church, charitable organizations, professional associations, landed properties, personal business and included available pictures to prove.

God bless you all and for all those waiting keep trusting God and believing, you are next in Jesus mighty name �.

Hello Obyas,

Hello,
I spoke to IRCC regarding your case today, here is the information I received:

Eligibility has now started and is listed as "review required"
Because of the ‘review required’ tag it may or may not take longer than standard processing times to complete
A bring forward date of October 11th is listed

I hope that this information was helpful, if you have any further questions, please feel free to keep in contact with the office. However, if you are just looking for another update and there is not an immediate problem with your case that we need to try and resolve we ask that you wait 4-6 weeks before contacting our office again to allow IRCC time to work on your case, and due to our offices case load.

Kind regards,

For Abuja IOM, those people no dey too follow time. I've been there like 3 times for different purposes and they didn't follow time. But make sure you get there before 11am so that you can finish on time. It's a long process with a series of tests you will do. I left there around 5pm despite that I got there with my family at 9am.

Very urgent pleeeease!?!
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Niaso: 8:24am On Jul 24, 2022
Thank you for this handful information!!

bullstriker:
To do biometrics, your kids must be at least 14 years. If you have not received your spouse's biometric letter and paid for it at the time of submission, send them a webform or email and attach proof of submission and receipt. Meanwhile, you can go for your biometrics while you await a response from IRCC.
There are several ways to book your biometrics. I believe most people use the online option. Please see the link below

My application was handled by Mr Frank of F and R Global. When I wanted to start this process, I planned to use an agent from the get go because i wanted a smooth and successful application. My partner kept insisting on mr Frank, that she has read so many reviews on Nairaland and he’s the one she’ll work with.
So we contacted him and right from the first call until the final approval, I felt at ease. It was a smooth transition and as soon as all my docs he asked for were ready, he submitted immediately and did a few check-in with my partner (I have a tight schedule, so she was basically the point of contact).
There were some things we didn’t consider at first which I’m certain added to the successful approval of my study permit, Mr Frank brought a professional insight into this process.
Even after the approval, he has checked in to guide us on the appropriate steps to ensure my passport is stamped and my migration to Canada is smooth.
I highly recommend him, the whole process was a smooth one and approval was faster than expected.

Thank you @frankrobbn1 of F and R Global
