aclfemmy:
It feels good to be here to share my ppr testimony guys.

I do sincerely appreciate all the information and personal experiences shared on this thread. It has indeed helped quite a lot of people among whom, I'm a prime and bonafide beneficiary. I couldn't have done less by not holding from the forum in which I have profited immensely.

I shall be sharing my experience and timeline for my 2 applications which herald this success I've just achieved today.

My epistle may be quite long but I shall endeavour to break it in such a way that it won't bore you.

First and foremost, I will like us to imbibe the culture of reading especially of something that is quite edifying like the info on this nairaland Canada study permit. It's a fountain and repository of knowledge. If you get yourself busy with it prior to your application, you may not need to ask questions or seek assistance from any gurus.

Enough said about the preamble and now, back to the basis.

I'm 41 years of age. The journey to Canada started for me in 2021; precisely, in October. But I have no idea about the know-how. I, therefore, typed the travelling to Canada on google and I landed in nairaland, precisely thread 18 thru 19. Believe me, I read the entire thread which I started from Oct till around November.

After reading the 2 threads; 18 and 19, I became very adept at the whole process both school admission and study permit application. Needless to say, I also read other info that's related to Canadian stuff that cut across immigration both temporary and permanent residency permits.

Having been armed with the acquired info, I applied for a mission at MUN for both Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA) and MBA but the GDBA admission came out with a speed of light in less than 2 weeks. I applied for admission in December and was offered admission the same December before the closed of the semester. I waited a little bit for the MBA admission but it didn't come on time. I have to go ahead and apply for the study permit with the GDBA LOA on March 1st, 2022. This is my first application

Find below the timeline:

Portal GCkey
* Application date 01/03/2022
* Biometric enrolment 04/03/2022
* Upfront medical. 14/04/2022
* Medical updated 27/04/2022
* Eligibility review 29/04/2022
* Eligibility recommend passed 29/04/2022 - this is as per gcms notes
* Eligibility failed 05/05/2022 - this is also as per gcms notes and is reviewed by another VO other than the one recommend it passed.
* Refusal notice 05/05/2022.

Refusal reasons were the purpose of visit and travel history.

My academic background in accounting and finance both HND at Yabatech (2002) and B.A (Hons) at University of Sunderland Uk (2014). I have been to the UK at least once and I have also had prior UK visa refusal which I disclosed. I have been working for the past fifteen years across multiple accounting and finance designation

Documents submitted:
I'm a self-sponsored.
* All IMM forms
* 8 pages SOP (written by me)
* MUN LOA
* HND & Bsc Certs & Transcripts
* I didn't submit NYSC (I don't do it)
* Tuition deposit of $8,390 (paid thru form A. It's not a mandatory request by MUN)

* my wife and children's birth certificate and nin
* use my family: wife and 3 children as ties together with my aged mum and siblings: here, I only use their pictures where we appear together: no other documents of theirs are used.



The refusal decision heartbroken me so much that I least expected it. I therefore hurriedly reach out to some guys who are on nairaland through their private emails. Out of the whole lots I contacted, Makano was the first to contact me and he gave me his bill which I don't mind paying thinking that the application will be done instantly and I will get approval. But that wasn't the case. Honestly, those a who got refusal and were able to announce it on the platform here were quite lucky as they got apt advice which was what they need to re-fire. In my case, the refusal overwhelmed me and I didn't. If I have done, the decision to engage the Makano wouldn't have arisen. By and large, he did a great job!

He did advise I should apply for the notes which he did on my behalf at a fee. I applied for the note on the 6th of May 2022 and it came out on the 2nd of June 2022.

There in the note, the visa officer misdirected himself, obviously and erroneously, under his reasoning for my purpose of visit that my purpose was of visit was unreasonable as I have current qualifications that's way higher than the intended course of study in Canada. And for my travel history, he said he my travel history or lack of it won't count in his assessment of my eligibility and for that reason he's refusing my application.

Come June 22nd 2022, I reapplied with the same set of docs. I only added LOE (3 pages). There in the LOE I explained the errors and misgivings of the VO with verifiable evidences which links pasted therein. I further got in touch with my faculty advisor about the development. He in turn got in touch on my behalf to the associate Deen of faculty to get a letter clarifying that the intended course of study is way higher than the current qualification I have and that I'm eminently qualify for the choice course of study.

I attached this additional documents to the same docs in my first application and I refire thru ircc portal (the new portal). The gckey portal locked me out due to network glitch otherwise it's the gckey I would have use again.

2nd application timeline

I would like to say thank you to @Frankrobbn1 for encouraging me to submit without a second review after my consultant had reviewed. Despite the fact that I did not use his service, he took to the time to review my first gcms notes after submission and for that I say thank you. I also thank everyone who had prayed and kept things positive on here. Also those who continual contribute by answering questions. You have been most wonderful. Thank you so much.

For all those still waiting on God for PPR, God has done it! Amen!!! Keep praying and keep monitoring. Also, it is advisable to order GCMS notes as many times as possible, the VO sometimes could make mistakes. So monitoring is key.

Please this passport submission process seems abit confusing from the VFS website. Please can someone direct me to an existing post on this or guide me. I will like to submit to Abuja Office from Lagos.

Thank you!!!

Congratulations to all ppr recipients, mine is next in line by the power of the holy ghost, I refuse to be left behind.

My time is now, God thank you for what you have indeed done and perfected in the sight of every person handling my application.

Amen

Have a lovely day

Hello house.

In anticipation of the kgsp which will commence sometime in September or august for embassy and university track.

I would love to create a whatsapp group with serious minded people that will take advantage of this opportunity.

I've once applied for embassy track and I was denied (I didn't even pass the first phase ) but there's hope.

Pls for now this group will be for undergrad only. I'm not a masters student and don't have the faintest idea how it works

Thank you. Kindly dm to be added to the group

Yes, you do

oloyede1:
Hi everyone,

Please help.

Do I need to have the original passport at hand
to do biometics with VFS?

From what I've gathered here, you get a letter of introduction when your application is approved, it's an approval letter that says you're allowed to study in Canada

Ableman101:
Please which is letter of introduction?

Baba God pls I want to type out my own landing gist.

Let your infinite mercy and favour speak for me and my application.

Congratulations

Landing gist

Nigeria.

My flight was 11pm, June 27. I planned to get to lagos airport very early. I left for the airport at 3pm arrived

Lagos airport was very chaotic.
I willl advice you arrive very early. I figured I had excess luggage and what I was carrying as my carry on bag was too big. I wasn't perturbed I was ready for it. I rearranged my bag and paid for one bag extra

Then I went to check-in at Air France desk.
They said they need to profile my passport and ask for documents. (In my mind I was like when Naija start to dey sound sweet like this. In my mind I was like Oga which documents do you need im ready for you!)

He only asked for Arrive CAN..vaccination card and international passport. He signed and added a white slip behind my passport saying Im cleared I should go and check in.

Then we waited in this long Nigerian immigration ( before you join this line they give you a yellow form to fill..just join the line with your phone... The line was sooo long and their system was down for like 45 minutes. 3 or more people missed their flight... Again got to Nigerian airport early.

Then we proceeded to board at the right to time.
The food in air France was really nice.
Tasted like yam and stew porridge...the type in the Esau Used to sell his birthright loool. We landed in CDQ airport France. At 6:25 am on 28th

The airport was different, better and more excellent than the Nigerian airport. I had to plan myself for my next 10 hours layover. I asked if I have access to a lounge...they said I have to pay 50 euros for it. My seat mate at the lagos to Paris trip was going to Toronto too..so we were navigating everything together

France CDQ airport is very awesome no hassles. Everything here is computerised. Just swipe your boarding pass and direction shows in a computerised map.

But the issue was our flight to Toronto wasn't showing on the screen yet because it was like 9 hours away nor was it written on our boarding pass. We asked one of the officials..she scanned my boarding pass and viola! My Gate appeared.. Gate K55. We had to navigate to The K area of the airport...we used a train to get there.

When I got to the gate area....then Place was really soft and chill. They had normal chairs.. Sleeping stretchers... And sofa beds. I slept for like 3 hours woke up..got something to eat... Connected to airport wifi... Make calls updated my folks about the trip and all...

My flight to Toronto was 4:40pm...they opened the line to board at 3:20pm

Here they asked for letter of introduction. (I heard the Indians murmuring that this is new..they never ask that here)

I boarded.. We took off...at 4:50pm... Landed at 7:00pm Canadian time...but there was a long queue...so we had to come out of the plane at 7:24pm

There was a really long walk...to the self service machine before getting to immigration for the study permit.

Where you scan your passport..and print a ticket..this ticket is what determines the line you join.. They were a lot of people! Especially from Ukraine.

I joined the study permit line. They were like 50 people ahead of me. When it got to my turn.... The VO was looked calm... I told him he has a nice haircut.. The guy smiled..he was like no one has told him that all day... So he asked for my passport.. Said he will need my Letter of introduction...so I brought out my file..he was like wao I came ready.. I go..you bet! lol...

He said I had a back charge and PFL from last year....I was like yeah. He said he sees that I made the payment. I told him I have 2 friends that have the same issue and they have waited for up to a year (the guys are in this group) he said he would have asked for their UCI but there is some confidentiality clause around that. That they should send a webform stating all the details.

Then he went to print my study permit. Then he said welcome to Canada!

I left...my bags were waiting for me.

The person to pick me up was waiting. I left the airport at 9:16 pm (Toronto time)

Omnisavage:
I can't really say for sure since it's since 2019 that you did your biometrics. Mine just changed to `Completed` this morning. It first showed we do not need your fingerprint then it changed to we have not gotten your fingerprint. Before now changing to Completed.

Mine also just changed to completed today after displaying "we do not need your fingerprints" for over a month plus

I just made a short prayer right now
Every immovable mountain will be moved by the power of the holy ghost
The lord must hear my cry
I must testify with my lips and type out my own story

Somidotun5:
PPR HAS LANDED OOOO!!!!���
THANK YOU JESUS

MARCH 21 applicant
I will drop timeline later
I'm literally shaking

Hello fam.

I've been following this thread for a while. I applied for a Canadian student visa it's still under processing ( yeah it's that feeling). I'm hoping for the best but I'm looking a applying to a university in the states. Already began my due diligence and damn but yeah I noticed that the tuition fees were a little bit on the teeth clenching side and little to no scholarship available for undergraduates ��

Yeah so I wouldn't mind being added to a group or if any vital info is thrown my way and lest I forget " I'm literally a student in the greatest university of Nigeria, Nsk.

PS: I just stated that so I can also inspire other Aluta warriors to leave in den in one piece.
