17 weeks on the dot.

In January I sent a lot of emails and like three webforms. All I got was generic responses. I needed a decision because the last day to pay my 1st term fees or withdraw and be eligible for full refund (excluding deposit of $1000) was on the 28th. My program doesn't do deferral but they said they could assure us of a readmission for fall term, we would only have to pay the application fee of $100 but we won't have to pay a deposit of $1000 again because it would be moved to fall. Like 4 of my course mates (1 Nigerian and 3 Indians) too this offer and withdraw and I was tempted to take this offer too; but my sister (my sponsor) said no, I should have faith (funny thing she is not a believer of faith, and she is very logical and basis her decisions on concrete facts and not hope). I paid my fees on the last day (I sent the fee receipt payment through a webform) and continued with the program online. Everyone was online including domestic students because of the Omicron variant. But they resumed in-person/hybrid 2 weeks ago. And believe me, I thought online classes was bad, but hybrid is way worse. I didn't send any emails or webforms after January and I even applied for a remote job for a US company to keep me distracted (I got the job too, and resumed this week). I later decided to order for my gcms notes on the 4th of March, though I don't think it caused my decision to arrive 2 weeks after. I got my PPR without them even asking me for an updated LOA to ensure I was still enrolled.

My background
Bsc in Architecture from University of Nigeria (UNN)
Program in Canada: Masters in Digital Media from Ryerson University (I explained I was focusing on Virtual and Augmented Reality in my sop, I will post my sop draft here for anyone who needs inspiration. Please inspiration, do not copy exactly)
3+ year work experience in architecture and construction (was never a full time worker, only during nysc, was always an independent contracted designer, submitted my last contract).

I will post my documents shortly, my new boss keeps sending tasks to do.

gaeul:
Good morning house, please am in a fix, my school (University of New Brunswick) refused me a deferral to May. I have appealed and appealed yet no positive response. Sadly, passport stamped but no updated Letter of Acceptance.

The question now is; Is it possible to get admission for another school to resume May or are all deadlines close?

Can I travel with my January Letter of acceptance?

Please, I need all the help I can get.

Maypearl:
So I check my LinkedIn every night (it’s a weird habit, which I don’t know when I developed). Last night I checked it as usual and I saw that someone from the Government of Canada checked my profile. I hope this is good news.

Time2soar1:
Thank you my brother, hope you are doing great in Canada

Got PPR today after almost 10 months

Timeline

First application refused January 29th 2021

Second application submitted May 22nd 2021
Eligibility started May 31st 2021
Ghost update June 3rd 2020
Medical expires August 2021
New medical updated to pass September 2021
Correspondence letter March 3rd 2022
PPR March 3rd 2022
Age over 50 years

First refusal reason was purpose of study and personal assets and finance. In my reapplication, for purpose of study I used sub categories in my statement of purpose such as introduction, why the program, why the school and a specific section on the purpose and benefit of the study. Though I stated all this in the first application I emphasis it more in the second application.

For personal asset and finance, I submitted bank statement and mutual fund investment letter like the first application but this time I liquidated part of my mutual fund investment into my bank account to make sure the money in my bank account is more than the total money I budget for the study for myself and my family then I sent MBS of the bank account and then a new investment letter with the outstanding fund in my mutual fund investment.
I also attached valuation report of my land.

Most importantly I prayed to God for the approval. I give God all the glory because after the first refusal I almost gave up because I though age is against me. More so, I have two Masters degree already and I am going for another Master program but I committed it into God hand and He came through for me.

While waiting I requested GCMS twice but nothing was in them, eligibility shows "review required"

I hope this encourage someone.

Hello all, I am currently in the process of applying for a study permit and want to apply online since this is my second application and have no need for biometrics at the VFS office. My question is under which section and file space exactly should I submit my
- SOP
- Document showing ownership of landed properties
and other document I feel could help my application, since there is no space provided for this in the online application platform

Can one really relocate to Canada within 6 to 9 months?

About 2 days ago, I came across a guide online that promises valuable information about relocating to Canada within 6-9 months.

genuinely and legally, no matter your age and without the hassle of the IELTS.

It sounded true but one has to be careful these days. Out of curiousity.

I decided to get the guide and check out the information…. especially since there was a money back guarantee if I wasn’t satisfied. https:///rokbig

HOW TO RENEW YOUR PASSPORT IN OTTAWA

Register here https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/passport/epassport/ptype/1By1C

Then book appointment here- https://nigeriahcottawa.ca/

Things needed includes the following:

Acknowledgment slip
Payment slip
Photocopy of passport data page
International passport itself
Passport renewal form
Administrative fee($50)
Canada post envelope(about $2)
One passport photograph(white background)

How to get money order, go to any Canada post near you and fill information directing it to Ottawa.

If you want to get it same day (if there’s booklet), it will cost $200 via money order.

If not you will capture then go back and wait untill it’s ready.

If you stay in Ottawa , you can drop your passport so they cancel the old one but if not, you will have to travel back with the soon to expire passport and send it via post to them with a letter indicating when you captured.

Nb: I just decided to share as when I needed to renew my passport, I couldn’t find where to search for.

flossboss:
Hello All,

Please I need help or clarification on how to proceed in case someone has experienced something similar. I go admission into an MSC 1 year program in University of New Brunswick for Fall 2022 and I have already received an unconditional admission letter. I noticed the admission letter does not contain the tuition fees(research for fees from last year showed it was about 20K CAD and I guess this year wont be too far from this). I reached out to the school and was told the fees for fall 2022 is not out yet and will be made available in May but I can still proceed to make some sort of payment because the fees will usually not be higher than 5% of the previous year.

Now my issue is this according to the IRCC site my admission letter should have my tuition fees stated which was not stated in the admission letter provided by the school. Will this be a problem if proceed to submit it with proof I have paid the fees even when the amount was not stated? I don't want to wait till May because of the delays with IRCC, I want to send in my student visa application first week in February.

Note: I know some schools require payment of some deposit/acceptance fee before an unconditional admission letter is issued but apparently UNB does not do that.

Thanks much

Hi guys..
Quick one..

I have someone traveling to Canada next week. i want to ask if he can show the same bank statement he used in his visa application at the port of entry. I think the answer is yes but not sure which is why am asking.

mk4fna:
The problem is the account is in UBA guinea and they don't have MBS. so shouldn't notarize. i should just get a new bank statement like the old one and submit it again

Good Day Everyone,

Please I would like to know what next to do, attached is my application status. After sending several emails and webform as suggested on the platform, I finally got a response on the 5th on January from Nairobi and on the 10th of January from IRCC, attached is the response I got. My initial start date was 10th January 2022 but I had to Defer it to 7th March 2022. The following are my questions,

1. Should I upload my new Letter of Acceptance Via Webform and Email? Yes, you can send them this via webform and e-mail. They would still request this from you when they are making thier final decision on your file so no harm in sending it since you have deferred your admission
[/size]

2. Should I also add my bank statement as well or it isn't necessary? There is no need since they did not request this from you. I suppose you have already submitted this with your application.[size=7pt]

3. Is there any other documents I need to add as well? No, keep sending them regular reminders since your application has exceeded standard processing times
[/size]
4. Should I continue sending IRCC emails and webform even after the response I got? Yes, please do[size=7pt]

5. Is there anyone who has my timeline of submission 6th September 2021, Medicals Passed 25th October 2021 and still waiting for a response/PPR from IRCC? Btw I have already done my Biometric from a visiting visa application in 2020 so I don't need it cause its still valid on my profile for 10years. you can await response from others[size=7pt][/size]


Thank You for the anticipated Response.
God Bless
