Hannah036: Good morning everyone , Thanks for all the good works you doing on here .please I have a question, if your student permit was denied , and you planning to submit again, does it mean anything if you want to use a new bank for the proof of funds different frm the first application., I mean Polaris for the first application and stanbic for the new application . please I need to Knw . Thank you. Hello, It is fine to use different banks. It is understandable. Just ensure there are no unexplained lump sums in the account statement and attach a bank reference letter addressed to the High Commission. All my best |

1st Application: 29th Jan 2021 Submitted with upfront medicals and NSE requirements. After sending several mails and webforms as well as applying for my GCMS notes on 16th of April. I received my notes on the 17th of May with the VO’s concern about having lumpsums in our joint account. Refusal: 27th May 2021 (Purpose of visit & personal assets and financial]
2nd Application: 31st May 2021 Background check started immediately and eligibility started on the 3rd of June. I noticed my Medical was not updated and sent a webform with my e-medical sheet. Medical passed: 25th June 2021 PPR: 30th June 2021

My special appreciation goes to God that made my dreams come to reality. He deserves all the glory. I also want to appreciate @JustMellow (gcmswriters) for his guidance and prompt approach in handling my LOE. I reached out to him when I received my notes thinking I could explain the lumpsums before a decision was made but refusal came some days after. JustMellow assisted in writing my LOE to address the financial concerns as well as reconstruct my SOP to address purpose of visit (studied engineering but going for business management course). God bless you and cause his face to shine upon you. Going for a 2yr PG certificate. Thank you to everyone for their selfless contributions on this thread. The advices, comments and testimonies kept me going even when it looked like all hope was lost. Thank you for the congratulatory messages. God bless you all.
PS: I was able to reapply 3 days after my initial refusal because I already had my GCMS notes and had addressed the concerns in my LOE. All PPR hopefuls will testify soon by God’s grace. This is God's hand. He never fails! |

Lianna2020: Soft landing gist I booked Ethiopian airline for 1:40pm. I said my final goodbyes and moved to the airport. I got there by 9:30 thinking I’m late because of the story I read here as per queue but there wasn’t any. They didn’t allow my husband to enter and I had to tip them 500. We proceeded to where they were suppose to check my bag but the woman asked for money n we moved to declare agricultural product, I had just one bag and I paid 2,000.
Next was to get my boarding pass. My bag was 43kg and so didn’t need to pay but paid 1000 to wrap my Ghana must go that had my foodstuffs.
I was asked for my passport , enrollment letter , arrive can , hotel for quarantine and COVID-19test result.(everything was printed out so was easy to find).
Everything was so smooth until the man said my covid 19 go soon expire by the time I reach . Na that time I wan cry , pe village people u must show yourself o. I waited for 30 minutes plus, the sneakers self pain me join , I come Dey frown face, the old man slow join, come Dey read bible abi wetin to show my covid go expire. I sha pretended and maintained my calm.
After series of back and forth, I was allowed to move to where we have the computer so I can scan my pp.
Then I was issued my yellow card where I have to fill my form and my boarding pass . That’s how one man said let me help you fill your form , olodo me allowed him, when he wrote my first name then nairaland tip hit pe, this man wants money like this o. I told him, don’t worry o, I go fill am, I filled it myself and when I was about to return his biro, he said find joy for your brother now, chai I said to myself , upon say I don read landing gist here back to back , I still looseguard. I sha gave him 500 naira.
I moved to eat and told my hubby to take all naira as e don finish , pe no more tipping then moved to final e boarding gate where we have the immigration officers. First officer checked and asked for tip.by that time no more naira as I wouldn’t have thought , uniform people go want tip .I gave him 1 dollar and he said just one ? I said sorry o. I was now directed to the second person where he checked and asked my my Canadian address and Nigerian address, I gave my Airbnb addrsss and number and did my fingerprint and he asked for tip too before stamping my pp. I gave him 1 dollar n apologized that I didn’t think I’d need to pay in here hmmm. Then final final checks again, by that time I don tire , they checked my handbag and saw dried meat wey I wan Dey munch small small, the woman said I don see exhibit , settle your girl, for my mind, u no see shishi but I go sha giv u because na Poe Dey my mind like this.
Luckily I saw 1,000, I gave her and was seated for my flight . We boarded 13:00and moved around 2:00 against 1:40.
I thought WiFi was free but na only WhatsApp he work for so had to buy WiFi so I can watch my Korean film but WiFi was limited too so ended up watching nothing but was thankful I could chat, maybe it was the WiFi package I took. Their food was terrible sha but I had to eat , dried beef came to my rescue.
We landed Addis Ababa 20:49pm , thank God I had someone directing me as I no sabi where to where . After all checks ,I was asked for my pp, covid 19 test result, and booked hotel and I was allowed in .
We left for Dublin from Addis around 11:pm and it was a smooth ride, when I read in-house music, I had thought it will be a cool jam coming from one of those vent up there but no it was one boring set of songs you have to listen to(sad).
I had three seats to myself as no one was there so I was able to stretched n lie down well. By all means download movies and music, iPhone do me strong thing o, not even Netflix . I was now waiting for WiFi atleast let me chat now , that’s how the hostess said no WiFi (cries). Boredom pro max . Had to manage the dry songs n watch few interesting movies.
Then I was given declaration form , I kuku didn’t understand most of what they wanted but I sha filled something . The most confusing thing for me was the time difference, my time kept changing as weather chai.
We were served rice with chicken , Na so I no fit chop am because hmmm, I like eba and afang and so everything was strange. I told them to give me the dry bread n butter n water.
We got to Dublin around 6:35 am and some passengers dropped and we waited for 45 mins still seated for refilling n all that. We got to Toronto around 8:am(again time difference).
I filled my covid form on the system provided n was given a slip, proceeded to immigration, I was asked for passport , loa and school fees receipt, then he gave my study permit to me and went further by telling me about the 20hrs allowed for work .
I was there waiting for more question but none , I also waited for welcome to Canada , rather he said enjoy your stay and that was it.
Moved to take my connecting flight to Vancouver, that’s how they told me I must quarantine in Toronto, told them my mandatory hotel stay was booked in Vancouver and my flight would soon move , them no hear , had to cancel my booking and rebook in Toronto .
Please no matter where you going in Canada , as far as you stopping at Toronto, reserve your hotel in Toronto, that’s the only way they will allow you move further.
Did my covid test and was given a test kit to retest a week after and then we were taken to our hotel . Currently quarantining at Toronto before moving to my final destination.
For all PPR hopeful , I wish everyone nothing but good news. Amen. This literally brought tears to my eyes. Wishing you God's blessings in this new phase of life. |

buckyfof: I just got refused guys, and I’m proud to put it out here so others can learn I submitted through an agent but it was later I found out about nairaland and I knew I was suppose to do it on my own. I was rejected based on just purpose of visit as i knew my chances were low when I came to nairaland to find out that going for a 2nd degree and getting a decision has a very slim chance. I’m I happy I learnt that too. I submitted the account of my uncle as we bear the same surname and it had an inflow and outflow of almost 300m in 4 months alone and a sitting balance of 20m. Most of you are also aware that I just lost my dad and my uncle has been stepping up for me for a lot of things My uncle also owns the company where I work part time and I also submitted the cac, employment letters and bank statement of the company of almost 250m in inflows and outflow. I can tell that the course was the major problem, as I wrote my SOP myself with the agent making one or two corrections
Please guys, I had a 2:1 in accounting with a CGPA of 3.63 in 2018. Which university can the gurus recommend to go for masters. And which course will best fit my bsc. I will try and re apply again but I need the assistance of Lekkiboboe Frank Robbn Just mellow and all the amiable members
Do I need IELTS for masters or gre. Or just my bsc and English proficiency letter is enough??
How do I get the complete gcms note to check all the information filled by my agent and how do I order for it. Thank you guys You guys are wonderful and to those waiting for PPR. May Almighty God grant it to you God. May God Almighty comfort you. This is just a delay. The journey has not ended yet. I'm sorry about this. I'm certain that the many gurus on this thread will be of great assistance. You'll definitely get your PPR this next time. Wishing you all the best! |

Pinkey2021: IT IS PPR MY PEOPLE!!! WHERE ARE MY FELLOW MARCH FOLKS??!!!
GOD IS TOO MUCH.
PLEASE NOTE: VERY VERY VERY LONG POST!!!
This journey started last year (click on my moniker to read my first post on thread 18 to get an idea of what I’m talking about).
CANADA HAS BEEN A BIG DREAM OF MINE. I’VE BEEN ALMOST EVERYWHERE BUT CANADA (LOL).
I PRAYED THIS APPROVAL INTO EXISTENCE. I FASTED, KEPT DOING MIDNIGHT PRAYERS AND JOINED NSPPD PRAYER ALTAR WITH PASTOR JERRY EZE DAILY, BECAUSE THERE’S A HUGE POTENTIAL BUSINESS/CAREER OPPORTUNITY I’M HOPING TO EXPLORE IN CANADA AFTER MY STUDIES AND THIS ROUTE IS THE BEST WAY I KNOW TO ACHIEVE IT. THROUGH THIS ROUTE I’LL BE KILLING THE PROVERBIAL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE, (THAT IS GETTING A CANADIAN QUALIFICATION WHICH WILL AID A GREAT DEAL WITH THIS PARTICULAR OPPORTUNITY). AND TODAY GOD DID IT!!!

Application Timeline:
Application Submitted: 4th March, 2021
Biometrics Done: on 25th September, 2020 (yet to be updated on my GC Key account/portal).
Background Check: commenced 5th March, 2021
Upfront Medical: 25th February, 2021 (submitted with my application on 4th Mar. But was only updated on 16th June same day after I resent it)
Ordered GCMS Notes: May 25th
Received GCMS Notes: June 24th (nothing much was in it). Was contemplating sending another one next week.
Eligibility Review: commenced 24th June
BVL/PPR: June 26
Going for a 1yr PG certificate.
This was a 2nd Application. First application I did not include any of the above documents. I was a complete novice. (Lol). I didn’t even include my Tuition receipt or CAC or property docs, nothing at all, just my LOA, qualifications and passport that’s all.
But thank God for Nairaland where I learned everything I needed to know for a successful application (especially, as a self-sponsored applicant).
Also, since I didn’t include vital docs in my last application, I decided to overload them with documents this time around 
I keyed in to @justexcellent testimony of his approval and wrote out the same prayer points he used while I fasted earlier this year.
God bless you all richly and establish us in our quests for destiny fulfillment. A big thank you goes out to @frankrobbn, @justmellow, @justexcellent (for that wonderful and inspiring testimony), @lekiboboe for your tireless constant help here, and of course to everyone new and old who has contributed to the success of this thread thereby helping fulfill destinies. God bless and reward you all abundantly in Jesus Mighty name.
End Note: my love letter arrived while I was praying this morning by 4am. Didn’t realize it until I checked by 12noon thereabout.
Didn’t know they send PPRs on Saturdays!!!
INDEED WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST. Congratulations sis. Your patience and perseverance has really been rewarded. |

Teemenzo: Adesina ayo akintunde
That is his name. He works with UCH Ibadan. Picture is attached below. I'll advise that you compose a detailed ambiguous message showing that you have spoken to a certified Immigration Consultant and you will proceed to take legal actions if he does not give you the following information UCI number Application number GCKey login I looked at his profile and he looked like some uninformed and unexposed family man who resides in Ibadan and thinks they can use "ogboju" to scam others. Let him know that you are well informed and state that the consequences of his action will lead to a fine being imposed on him. Tell him that your certified immigration consultant is ready to take legal actions according to the rules governing ICCRC PS: I know some of these are lies. But if you want to catch a monkey you have to act like one. He's educated and might fear the consequences of his action. He's got a family to fend for. I don't think any responsible family head will risk that. All the best |
