Sleekcee:
Good morning all. Please I have a question, if you have an active EE profile before applying for study permit do you need to mention it in your SOP?
Then for those sponsored by spouse, what if I include my savings account and not salary account is it a problem since spouse is the sponsor and already provided statement?
I'm trying to figure out the possible reasons for my rejection (financial asset and purpose of visit) after 8 months of waiting while expecting my gcms which I already requested for.

Ahn ahn. You applied in September. Why are these guys like this biko. Haba. Please refire back with much more energy!

Darmison:
Greetings everyone.
Putting this out here for y'all advise.
My sis finished a B.A Islamic studies.
She has been learning sewing skills and trading clothing materials. She already Registered her biz and she has certificate for the sewing skills.
She intends to further her fashion skills in Fanshawe (diploma in Fashion Design).
My question now is Do you think she has a good chance?



@lekiboboe @justmellow @frankrobbn1 @everyone

Yes, she does!
Most fashion professors in Canada find Nigerian students pretty interesting actually!
She can also check George Brown College as there's opportunity there for the Fashion Scholarship Fund.
Seneca College is also a good try
Since she has an experience it wouldn't be that difficult to get an admission. Just an essay and a portfolio would do most times.

All my best

Oviebright:
please I asked some questions in the previous thread nobody answered me please I’d appreciate a response from anyone please and thank you . If a bank statement of inflow of 8 million within 6 months would be strong enough and how do I go about my processing after granted admission. And I’m scared to carry on the process without my agent. He’s only secured admission for me. I’m new here please I’d appreciate a response.

Hello guys,

I JUST LOST MY DAD TODAY.

The pain is soooo unbearable.....

This hurts! Please take care of yourself as much as you can. Consider it like he has travelled for a long time. May you receive comfort from God. Be strong

kunbeeee:
Lol. This was definitely from the lagos office

prada1:
Thanks Ola123 for the clarification. Do you know how long it took this person to get approval? Also, did he do upfront medicals.

I like to know please. Thank you

He applied December 20th with no upfront medicals.

Shallomz12:
Hello All,

Please I need help, i want to study in Canada but don't know the process, I'll appreciate if I can put through the process.

Thank you

First, secure an admission in a designated learning institute. Consider factors like tuition and career progression while choosing your preferred school. Submit an application to your preferred school(s)

All my best!

Hi All,

I have a concern with Study permit. The only people i know that got PPR recently are people that go through the NSE route or at least did their upfront medicals. Does it mean that IRCC no longer request for medicals and dont they process people that go through the normal route SP. what do you think guys.

I appreciate a response
Thank you

This is not correct. I know about an application that got an approval this week. The applicant didn't go through the NSE route.

Phiyin:
Good morning. Please how much is medical fee in Qlife and IOM? And is it a must i use Alagbon police station?

Hi Phiyin
40k for medicals at Qlife. I think IOM charges 45k. Not so sure about this. IOM is more expensive though. If you're in Lagos, yes, use Alagbon Ikoyi.

All my best

Nanfiasco:
Hello Nairaland, I need help finding an IELTS training body around lekki that gets me my money's worth with a reasonable price.. Found one recently and they're charging me 60k which seems on the high side. Please point me towards the right direction. I'll be taking the test in a few months.

Hello Nanfiasco,
I'd advise you save your money and train for your test yourself. You can check the website ieltsliz. All training materials are free and it's super easy to understand. I wish you the very best!

All my best

Rootiab:

Baggiomarrio:
we have to be together , set a date and time.. evening would be better, like 7pm we all go to twitter load our complaints .. we really have to be coordinated , so that it would be done perfect

7pm seems fine. Whose write up are we going with?

TennieYF:
This is just a build up on what you typed. We can still await further input before we get a final draft.


Good day,
I hope this meets you well.
With careful writing, we wish to thank the humble Nation of Canada for giving us the privilege and opportunity to gain knowledge in Canada through quality education. This has helped to build a synergy between both countries(Nigeria and Canada). The economy of Canada has become a fast growing one, competing with other great nations of the world.

However, recently we have noticed prolonged delays in study permits applications for prospective Nigerian students.
We understand that the COVID-19 has had an impact in processing times but in comparison with our counterparts from other countries, applications from Nigeria have been extraordinarily slow and prolonged.
Some applications are as old as 8 months and a lot of pending applications are within 3-6 months.
Recently, the NIGERIAN student Express scheme (NSE) was established to help speed up processing times to 20 days for students who could meet certain criteria.
This however is not this case because even after going through NSE the applications still take an average of 2-3 months before decisions are made.

The rate at which students now defer admissions is rampant and this is due to the delay in getting application decisions.
This deferment has put in dent in their plans as they already have commitments based on the time they expect to return home after study to impact lives, and to develop the growing society and help fight economic fall.
The long processing has made a lot to extend visions and goals.

Recently, we see other applications from other countries getting replies in 20days or even less than that.
We believe international students are part of the growth of Canada so we wish the authorities reconsider our processing time and help speed up the application processes.
Thank you and God bless.

Superb! Very straightforward!

Hello people,

Can anyone who travelled recently assist me with documents required to travel? Someone who travelled very recently. Thank you so much in anticipation

egaji83:
That ks for your assuring response

When I went for the biometrics, my bank statement hard copies was with me but they did not collect it, and also I have not done medical.... Where can I submit the bank statement and can I do medical upfront if yes where please......

Hi egaji83
You're totally doing it the wrong way. From what I understand, it doesn't seem like you have submitted a complete study permit application. You need to create a GCkey...fill a questionnaire...download some IMM forms. If you are not a minor, it should be 3 IMM forms. One for the application, one for Family Information and one Schedule form if I can remember correctly. Then, you'll proceed to filling and uploading those forms alongside some other documents like Client Information, Proof of Funds, Your international passport, your photograph and some others. After uploading all documents, you'll proceed to make payment for your application which is 235CAD for new applicants and 150CAD for second time applicants. You'll be sent an Acknowledgement of Receipt from IRCC after this and a Biometrics Request. I hope this helps.

All my best!

MadeMan01:
Hello house,
Has anyone who applied for GCMS notes in mid January 2021 received them?

Yes! Received mine in February

Frankrobbn1:

PPR JUST DROPPED!

My application journey is quite interesting, and I promised to share here if I get a PPR. So firstly, I applied using an agent. As a matter of fact, I got admission using one agent, and got the visa using another agent. My application made me come to the conclusion that using an agent is truly not worth it. Imagine that I paid 300k just to get a PGD admission in University of Winnipeg. Bygone, anyways - lucky agent. After my admission, I switched to another agent because my Dad, who previously didn’t show interest, decided to be involved. The second agent came through my dad (he paid the agent 250k or so) - he was recommended by my uncle. I gave him the LOA I paid 300k for, and he requested me to write my LOE. I was able to write a good LOE with the help of Google, and of course, Nairaland. I am sure you are wondering what exactly this agent was paid to do, if both LOA and LOE came from me. Me sef dey wonder lol.

APPLIED - DECEMBER 7
BIOMETRICS - DECEMBER 8

Na where wahala start be this. The whole journey was mentally exhausting. This agent fit make person crase with obvious lies and pretense. Want to make this as short as possible, so let me just drop one example. The agent was supposed to have applied long before the time he did. So we pressured him till he lied and made a fake medical request letter. In his own letter, the medical has to be done in 90 days, instead of the usual 30 days. Note that biometrics had not been done then oh. He also gave us fake biometrics appointment letter one time, and when the day came, he said IRCC has technical issues, and he would have to book another date. Basically, my whole journey with this agent was filled with altercations and mistrust. It got to a point, all we wanted was access to the portal, but this agent was giving stories like he didn’t know the password offhand, and he would find it. Moving on...

ORDERED GCMS - MARCH 27

Fast forward to April ending, I hadn’t heard anything from this agent. Was checking this thread regularly and seeing even January applicants receive PPR. I decided to message this agent to remind him. This was when the agent logged into my portal and saw that I got medical request 8 days before.

MEDICAL REQUEST - APRIL 14

Finally, he was confident about the application, and dropped the login details even without asking him.

MEDICALS DATE - APRIL 27

I was eager to get the PPR, and was checking my portal like every hour after I did the medicals. On the morning of April 29, I opened my portal, GUESS WHAT I SAW? Booooom! Procedural Fairness Letter - I wanted to faint even before opening the PFL.

PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS - April 29

I opened the PFL, and what I saw was that the VO has concerns that my Dad’s statement of account is not genuine. I am to prove that it is genuine in 15 days, or I get 5 years ban. I was destabilized and scared to the bone. A lot ran through my mind in milliseconds.“ Could it be that this guy used a fake SOA, instead of the one we gave him?” “Could it be that he altered some transactions?” Picked up the phone to call this agent, and for like 2 hours, his number was switched off. I started feeling like he already saw the PFL, and was on the run.

Finally, we reached him, and he assured us that he used the SOA we gave him. He told us to go to the bank for MBS, and give IRCC a SOA that shows transactions till the date of the PFL. We did that immediately, but how could I trust someone who once gave us fake medical request and biometrics appointment letter?

I became restless since that minute I saw the PFL, and even after submitting MBS, I couldn’t still sleep or do anything. I was literally checking my portal uncountable times in a day.

MEDICAL PASSED - MAY 1

This should have been an update that would have made me rest assured of finally leaving this Nigeria, but I remained unhappy and restless because of the PFL.

GCMS NOTE RECEIVED - MAY 3

Finally, GCMS note came in yesterday night before I slept. Saw that everything has been passed. I also saw that instructions have been given that I get a study permit till 2023. Lastly, it was in the GCMS note that IRCC had messaged my Dad’s bank to confirm if the SOA is genuine, and they got response from the bank that it is genuine. This happened since the beginning of April.

THEN WHY ON EARTH DID IRCC GIVE ME PFL ON APRIL 29 Shaey IRCC dey whyne me ni

The more I thought about the whole issue, the more it becomes obscure. I search Google tire to see if anybody don face the same issue before, but I no see anything.

To God be the glory sha, I opened my portal 12pm today, and I saw ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST! Booomshakalaka!!!!

Till now, I can’t explain what happened concerning that PFL thing, but I just thank God. I no even wan understand again sef lol. Thanks to everyone doing a good job here. You all will be forever appreciated.

CORRESPONDENCE LETTER & PPR - MAY 4

I love the Booomshakalaka partttt....E for Energyyyyyyyy
Big big congratulationsss to you
I'm so happy for you
