If you are wondering, you don’t need a transit visa.

What if MBS was used in this bank statement

Do you have a valid us visa ? You’d need a transit visa in Washington

For you to have gotten this letter means that your Visa has been stamped on your passport.( you should have it with you by now i guess)

You should now be talking about booking your flight to CA and making sure you have your covid 19 card with you. also, ensure you collect the letter of enrolment from your school as that is part of the document you will need to collect your study permit at the port of entry once you land in CA.

Most importantly: From the Above letter of introduction, it is indicated that your medicals would Expire on the 30th of September 2020. DO ALL YOU CAN TO ENTER CANADA B4 IT EXPIRED!!!!.

you CAN NOT travel to Canada with expired medicals. once expired, it will render your Visa invalid. and the process of validating it takes forever and ever. (You dnt wanna be on that shoe)


Good luck and congratulations.


So if you have your LOI and medical expires before traveling and you do another medicals before traveling nko how is the visa invalid?

LANDING GIST

I got to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by past 11am for my flight to Toronto with Egyptair by 3pm, please weigh your bags or just prepare your mind to pay for extra bags the airline is not joking oh it must not be 24kg, it can be 23.5 or something but not just 24kg I had to be 66k for extra luggage, one of the airline agents there was behaving quite rudely and I was already tensed so I was just nastily glaring at him then he started to joke that I am his Benin sister I shouldn’t be angry blah blah that they have a lot of work, I just told him to take it easy. We got to Egypt by past 8pm our flight to Toronto that was suppose to leave by 1:55am was pushed to 4:40am I couldn’t sleep, make flight no go leave me LOL… sha just walked around the airport, used Wi-Fi and my brother from home through the phone basically kept me company. Then it was time to board, my people the flight to Toronto is long, I mean it is looonnggg plus the cold inside the plane, ah I still have catarrh and cough because of it…at one point ehn I was like is the pilot not even tired ? Because me that was sleeping and waking I was exhausted, the food was just there with sap much bread plus orange juice.. I really liked their orange juice . We got to Toronto by past 10am so this is where my anxiety started dancing within me, I am naturally an anxious person so this didn’t help me at all. Got to the declaration machine, I had already declared on the arrive can so I just placed my passport and printed my declaration form out then it was time for Immigration. So my visa is expiring in august because I was deferred and the new LOA didn’t come out on time so I couldn’t upload so I was really jittery about this, the queue was quite long so when it got to my turn the officer asked why I didn’t upload the new LOA and I said it didn’t come out on time so he just gave additional time and told me to extend it to cover my entire school duration. My aunty came to pick me and they still haven’t taken the light���
A part of me still can’t believe I am here, but I am seeing a lot of white people and everywhere is really quite so I know I am not in Nigeria too ��� I am extremely thankful to my family and this platform.

Please I need advise.
I’m traveling in July for study (Got my PPR since January). My upfront medical was done since May 2021 when I applied for my study visa. Is it still valid? I haven’t received anything from IRCC to update it. Is that normal?
Mine will expire this June , and you need a valid medical to travel !that’s what I heard o

Hi!!
You’d have to use a courier service to send your passport preferably DHL .yes, Abuja is faster and you can send to lagos visa application center IF you aren’t in a rush .
Abuja takes 3-5 working days
Lagos can take 7-12 working days .
I am for fall 2022, so i sent to lagos because I’m in no rush !!

dbeautyful:
Hello Nikki,

If I'm resident in Lagos or abuja, would I submit directly to the Visa Application Centre or must I use the delivery service.

Secondly, I've seen one or 2 posts suggesting that the Abuja centre is faster. Have you noticed this too?

So sorry about this , if you were refused for only purpose of visit , no need for notes because it’s obvious already- it means your course doesn’t correlate with what you have been doing or what you studied in school .
It’s straight forward, just change your program to something related and write a good Sop .
Linking them together, they are not really similar for business administration deals financial planning while accounting is mainly book keeping.
That’s my 2 cents , but you can wait for the gurus to talk .
Eniaud:
Good morning to the gurus in the house. I got referred here. My study permit was refused today based on the purpose of study. I have requested for gcms though. I was told it will take like 30 days to arrive.

Just a quick one, could my permit be refused because of the course I chose? I have had hnd (accounting) and bsc accounting with 10 years of experience in accounting and finance designation. And I applied for a postgraduate diploma in business administration. Could this be an issue? I understand a postgraduate diploma is of a higher level than a bsc. I will appreciate gurus insight on this. Thank you.

My Testimony


Long post alert!

What God cannot do, does not exist!
I’m so elated, my heart is full of joy, I can’t express my emotions, I never knew this day will finally come. God showed up for me after 3 refusals… God’s Mercies, Grace and Favour found me. I am that woman that God showed mercy! I return all glory to God almighty.

My journey started in August 2020, my first application was shabbily packaged as I had little or no idea of the whole process. I got refused in September 2020 over purpose of study and personal assets and financial status.

I went back to the drawing board and sorted some help from friends and applied in December 2021, it came back refused in February for same reasons, I am very certain that the VO didn’t read my LOE, I was really shattered cos I got the refusal on my husband’s birthday in February after I threw a surprise birthday for him.

I applied again in April, this time i ensured all loopholes were tightly sealed. It was 2 months after I submitted that I joined naira land, so I was glad to know that I was not alone in this struggle, and was encouraged each time people testify about PPR, so I was always here to get more information and was hoping for the best, on 31st August I went to take my 2nd dose of vaccine, Gbam! I saw the two love letters, I was excited and scared at the same time, I didn’t open it till I finished at the health center, I got back to the office and opened it, behold! It was another refusal, I couldn’t believe it I was literally without life cos the previous week I knew how much I struggled to get a spot for my medicals cos the previous one already expired so I did it and updated them. It was as if I was dreaming and I didn’t want to wake up to reality, I was shattered as I felt betrayed and abandoned, this time the refusal reason was only on personal assets and financial status. I couldn’t understand why? I requested for GCMS note and when the notes came in November, my pre assessment was all positive, it was 90% certain I was getting the approval but the senior officer said NO, and
was concerned about my family composition, if the fund available will be adequate to take of both studies and my unaccompanying children. They didn’t point out that I had paid school fees and that I also submitted my personal bank statement with about 2M and my mutual fund statements 1.7M, My husband is my sponsor and I submitted his savings account and domiciliary account statements of about 20M, his pay slips, business document and property rentals … I really found that reason absurd. my medicals was updated to pass a day after my refusal. This time, my siblings advised me to give up the dream but I was resilient and I persevered.

After mourning my refusal, I applied again on 16th January 2022, I thank God for naira land so I packaged my application with all the information I got here, this time, my husband transferred more funds to my account and supported it with a gift deed, submitted all his accounts and the funds were about 40M, wrote a convincing LOE and SOP. After 6 weeks of my application i started sending emails and web forms and also applied for my GCMS notes, I later contacted the MP in Halifax and they obliged to assist me get updates on my application. The MP got back to me and it was stated that have reviewed my application and will contact me for medicals.

I gave it my all, in all of this, I recognized that only God can help me this time. So I never failed to connect to NSPPD 7am prayers every weekdays, I keyed in to every word of knowledge from PST about visa approvals, I prayed, fasted, visited orphanage home, gave alms, stayed strong and positive and mercy of God found me and God came through for me.

My GCMS note came back and I realized that my eligibility was already passed, medical passed but expired, I quickly forwarded my updated medical sheet to them and my medical was updated a day after that.
My BVL came on 7th of April and I didn’t get any other mail after that, I became very anxious and confused, This struggle no dey finish�, i was sending 3 emails everyday for 2 weeks, nothing oh, I resumed fasting and prayer, talked to a few people to get some encouragement, then I stopped sending emails, then yesterday I decided to resume the emails and I changed my narration, this time I wasn’t ready to pacify them, then I sent webform this morning and the mail landed by mid day. I guess the webform did the magic! my PPR landed after 32 days!

I’ve come to share my struggle and experience to give glory to God almighty and to encourage each and every PPR hopefuls here. Pls don’t give up and put your trust in God, he never fails!
If God can do it for me after several refusals with all the odds against me, he can do it for everyone expecting PPR in Jesus name.

I must appreciate all the gurus and wonderful people here giving information and sharing experiences on this platform, every Information I got that helped my application, I received most of them from here! thank you all and God almighty bless you.

Hello beautiful people .

LANDING GISt

I want to apologize for taking over a week to update the house on my landing gist. I will try to make it short .

On the 24th of April I got to Port Harcourt international airport to board my flight with Lufthansa airline. After the usual check by the immigration officers at the door , I proceeded to Print my boarding pass . The Lufthansa staff requested for my passport, Arrive Can, admission letter and proof of enrollment. Afterwards my boarding pass was handed over to me with my documents and my bags checked in .

Then I was asked to meet the immigration officers (boarder officers ) and they requested for my passport and boarding pass. one of the officer was busy asking for my WAEC result ( delay tactics to extort me . I didn’t give them shishi . ) when he got tired ,he finally stamped my passport and asked me to go .

We left PHC at 8:00pm and arrived Abuja at 8:50pm for technical stop over ( to pick passengers in Abuja) . The delay was for 1hr:30 mins before we took off to Frankfurt. The food was good and I ate everything that was served grin . I slept most of the time and finally we reached Frankfurt at 5:15am.

At Frankfurt Airport , they only asked for passport and Arrive can . After 5hrs layover. We continued our journey to Calgary. I won’t lie I got tired of this trip to Calgary. It was so long and I didn’t even sleep the entire 9hrs 45mins and even got tired of watching movies ..The flight attendant warned me twice for not wearing my nose mask properly and threatened to report if she cautions me for the third time ( you can be fined 5,000cad in Canada for not wearing your mask when you are on transit). For my mind I say which kind witch be this one . I could not breath very well but I say make I just obey before my village people go use me do scapegoat.

Finally we landed at Calgary and I went straight to one of the computer for self declaration. I was quick because I wanted to get to the Boarder office on time because the crowd was much . The boarder officer that attended to me only asked for my passport and admission letter . He asked if I have paid my fees and how I intend to pay the balance . Then he issued me study permit and work permit ( please ensure your collect your work permit if your program is co-ops). At this point I was mad happy . Finally , I went back to the boarding gate to catch my flight to Edmonton.

I am loving it here !

I wish everyone waiting for decision good luck . God will put a smile on your faces.
