PPR scarce ooh!!!
Somebody beko give us news make we use hold body.

The yeye tin is backto showing status quo

Hunterzzz:
Same here....

Hello gurus,

Please have anyone noticed "Application Status currently unavailable" on their portal?
GCKey.
Family x5 applications all showing the same thing.

I just logged in severally and even refreshed, but I'm seeing the same thing. Status unavailable.

Hello folks,
So about GCMS notes, I noticed that that date d note is execute is just 1 week before the applicant receives the report. Meaning the initial 3 weeks is just pre-processing.

That means it logical to say, you should apply for your GCMS at least 3 weeks before the date you'd want to see update as at time.

For example, I applied 4 Visa on APril 30th, and because I know that as at 2 months (8 weeks) significant activity should have taken place with the application (either pre-assessment / eligibility proper), I applied for GCMS notes on May 30th. That way I'll be seeing information on my case file as at 20th June latest.

Hence, I can quickly take necessary action to address any concern with my file if a decision has not been taken at the time.

This is just my opinion, I may be incorrect.

FYI

Hello Gurus,

So after firing the routine mails and web forms to Nairobi, Lagos, and Abuja offices, I woke up to this mail from IRCC main this morning.

What do you make of this, experienced folks. And do you recommend I keep firing or wait on the presumption that they may have touched my case file?

April 30th applicant. Family x5 application.

Your feedback is most appreciated.

Hello,
Please did you submit Student GIC as part of your application?

Its PPR guys. Long Post alert

I have been a silent reader of Nairaland since the beginning of this year and everything that led to this point (obtaining our PPR), Nairaland contributed to it.
We started this journey in 2021. I started off with some countries which eventually did not work out. My husband had applied to a couple of schools and we either received rejections or no responses at all. Fast forward to January, my sister was leaving for Canada at the time and came visiting so I requested that she helped apply to a school. We followed up and received admission to Centennial College for a Postgraduate Certificate program in Cybersecurity. It is also worthy to note that we applied to several schools in the UK, I think about 6 or 7 of them and got admission to all.
Amidst all these, my husband insisted on Canada.
We applied for my husband's Study visa, my Spousal Open Work Permit and a Visiting Visa for my 19 months daughter on the 1st of April, 2022. This happened when everywhere I turned to for assistance on how to proceed with these applications kept giving warning signs for my husband to apply alone. My husband insisted that we all apply together and back it up with prayers and I agreed.
We gathered all our documents and applied with faith and the wait started. Sometimes, I would wake up in the middle of the night and say my prayers sometimes with tears. Sometimes, I and my husband would find it difficult to sleep at night. I would disturb my sister from time to time even during her busy schedule just to find out if there was anything to do to hasten the process. I am not a very patient person but my husband who has more patience among the both of us started to worry too on the 1st of June. We kept praying and hoping that God comes through.
I felt our application could be better but believed God will use the documents we had submitted to speak for us. We noticed that his passport was due to expire in October and then we decided to apply for that as quickly as possible.
On the 5th of June, my husband came back home worried which increased my worry as well but we kept telling each other that our application was more complex so it may take them a while to get to it.
On the 7th of June at around 7:30am, my husband called my attention and, in his words, "it is already happening o"
I ran to his phone and saw 3 emails with "do not reply", my heart skipped several beats and I remember saying to him, if we were rejected, we fire again.
I went straight for the laptop but was not fast enough as I kept shaking. My husband grabbed it and signed in.
At this point, I hissed and said aloud "Eligibility just started and its a ghost update", then he said hold on let me scroll down and there it was Original Passport Request. I screamed my lungs out.
Our timeline:
GCKey 1st time applicant
Application: 1st of April, 2022
Upfront medicals: 26t of March and updated to pass on the 21st of April, 2022
Biometrics: 14th of April, 2022
PPR for Study, SOWP, and VV on the 8th of June.

I would say it has been God and I am putting this out there to encourage people most especially families who are too afraid to apply together. Do it, research, make your application as tight as possible, and back it up with prayers. I reached out to only one person on this thread who happened to be going to the same school as my husband, @centennialguy, thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
I wish everyone the best and to all PPR hopefuls, your time is now.

It will end in praise

Hellos Anon

If I am clear, does this mean that irrespective of the long processing time (55 weeks) for the SOWP, the primary applicant's (Study permit) and other dependents' will be addressed within the normal TRV study permit / visitor Visa processing duration of 11-12 weeks?

Anon123:
Yes you can but please note, an open spousal work permit takes 12months, so your husband application might be delayed fr a long time but
a decision will be made on the visiting. Approval here is dependent on the person applying for a study permit(primary applicant)

Hellos,
They actually processed the Form A request within 5 business days. Indeed they lived up to their reputation.
The two weeks is me requesting an account opening with them, so i can DIY my shh going forward.

Thanks.

ShowYoung:
Bro! I understand you, but the person may not, hence the reason for the warning.

You waited that long because you didn't stand on their neck. You would have got it that same day if you had stood on their neck.

I know how to get them do my biddings quickly.

Hello Folks,

So if i order for GCMS notes, will the note carry information as at that date GCMS was applied, or it will be as at date GCMS notes was reported?

For example, given it takes an average of 30 - 40 days to process, if i apply Today (23rd May 2022), and i recieve it say 20th June. will the note carry assessment information as at 17-20 June, or it will contain information as at 23/24 May?

Please i need this clarification to take a decision whether to hold off or request the GCMS notes now.

Merci.

Ergo the phrase "trustworthy person".

I am simply echoing what works for me.

I credited my colleague the equivalent amount and he applied to pay my school fees, full at that.

I have thereafter applied to open accounts with Jaiz ffor future transactions. This is 2 weeks now, I'm waiting for a notification of my new account numbers so I can operate it.

Two weeks / extra time may be much to spare, I do not know how quickly the person who requested the information needs it done.

No offense.

ShowYoung:
@Keren12

If you try this, you're on your own.

Is it a rocket science to open just a savings account? Heaven helps those who help themselves!

You mustn't have an account with them.

Just look for a trustworthy person who does, Wenger transfer the funds to them so they'll pay your tuition.

Keren12:
Don't have account with any of this guys oh

Login into MyUNB and goto international payments and tuition.

Generate an invoice (for your choice amount) using CIBC student pay (in USD). Print the SWIFT PAY instruction sent to you and use it to process your Form A.

PS: look for any trustworthy person with Jaiz bank account, credit them with the equivalent CBN rate naira and have them pay your school fees for you.
Process doesn't take more than 7 busines days to reflect in your UNB student account.

Good luck.

gaeul:
Please who has used form A to pay for UNB tuition fees? Please, your help and guidance is highly needed ...

Hellos,

I am going to UNB for fall 2022.... but a different course though. Fredericton.

peluscoten:
Pls who is going to UNB (MBA) for fall 2022 ?

English isn't that confusing.

Simply read it without bias.

I only said, its not a must to pay your school fees from your own account if your bank is delaying or slow to processing Form A!
Even if the line was unclear, putting it in context of the following statement would ve clarified any misconceptions.

Have a beautiful day.

Bankowner:
Oga!

What immigration rule says you MUST NOT pay for your tuition from your personal bank account? If you're telling me you don't NECESSARILY HAVE TO do so, then I will understand. It is not impossible to pay through a third party, my 2nd semester tuition was moved from the money I left in my sister's account before I traveled so it's no big deal. But why use a third party when you're still in Nigeria and can easily do it from your own account?

To Whom it May Concern,

Please know that you MUST NOT pay your tuition Form A from your account.

I got admission from UNB and I quickly had money deposited to my colleague who had an account with Jaiz bank (following tips of great Form A perform banks here) and gave him my swift pay instruction. He applied for and paid my tuition, all processed within a week.

Don't sit around waiting to must process tuition payment deposit from your account to show capability.. whata important is the payment receipt, not a debit alert from your bank. That debit no count as PoF I think.

FYI.

Good luck to us all

Bankowner:
I am sorry to ask this question but did you really want to travel at all? If you saw that one bank was delaying a transaction that would cost you your admission what stopped you from immediately opening an account with another bank?

Hellos,
If she really didn't need to give the Visa Officer any explanation why she is going with her toddler child and not the family, a one liner would have sufficed and you wouldn't have needed to give that logical and well thought out explanation you just opined her.

Please madam, take a cue from this submission and write a proper letter of explanation else the VO can reason that the plan is for you to file for family reunion and you all wouldn't return at the end of your studies.

Statistics supports the above position quite a lot so do make a reasonable argument for your case.

VOs aren't naturally looking for reason to give you Visa. In fact it's quite the opposite they're more or less checking of why you shouldn't, hence the need to give them all required info to allay any doubts and provide clarity.

Best of luck.

I am applying for a family of six, and asides from PoF, I'm not leaving any stone unturned.
Ciao

DestinationCann:
The reason is obvious, your toddler is a toddler who needs mother's care.

Your husband will be busy with work and other kids and you'll not want to overburden him with care of a toddler who still nurses at night.

Masters in Environmental Mgt.

Francieuche:
Na nursing I want to do ooo
What course did you apply for?

Already have admission and deposit paid for Fall 2022.

They're pretty fast with admission too though.

Francieuche:
Who has heard from University of New Brunswick recently?

Have yougotten yourstudy permit already?

I'm an hopeful. Looking to apply for study permit with my fam in the first week of May

sweetchi1011:
Anyone going to University of Newbrunswick this September? Let's connect please.

Nicky123:
Have you started your visa application and is the admission for Fall?

Master in Environmental Management

Nicky123:
wow... interesting, please what course is that?

I did. And I have gotten my admission..
Prepping for study permit application.

Francieuche:
Please who applied to university of new Brunswick??

Hello Person,

I believe it's you who have prejudice against NOUN awarded credentials for reasons you're yet to tell us all.

I, not someone I know, am working in one of the top 3 govt institutions, and gained my promotion as well as qualified ffor middle management academics with my NOUN credentials.

If certain Nig. Fed universities discriminate against NOUN credentials, do you investigation very well and you'll ser its usually the biased interpretations of the screening officer and not any of the university's policy.

Funny enough, I even experienced that in NOUN when they discriminated against my earlier diploma certificate.

Do your research, gain more insights, and make informed and educated judgements.

I bid you best of luck in your future endeavors with any school you choose.


As for fellows, I'll give you a direct first hand advise, if you want to work and learn, NOUN is still the best, cheapest, and most flexible learning institution.

If I have my way, I'd pressure both my masters and phd there.

Ciao!!!.

Seaseason07:
Continue live in your false Paradise. Ask yourself. Why NOUN Degrees are rejected by federal Universities? Once you aquired your first degree there, you can't further at any Federal University and I know of some State Universities too. Why wasting your time and money? You can never further your education any else in the world and if you must in Nigeria, it must be in NOUN. Big RESTRICTIONS! Never too late to drop out now. I pity you

Please was the exam live procured with video.

How do they verify user

jully29:
I have the same problem too

Good day,

I just did the online test now, after answering the questions before the 12 minutes elapses and clicked on submit, the response I got was
"service Unavailable"

Please what do I do?

Hellos,

Does birthing qualify for essential (travels) medicals.

No relatives. Have valid Visa. Proposed stay min. 2 months.

maziude:
Oh well, you should lead with that. That makes it easier to refer you.

If your travel is for an essential purpose, there is a chance you might get approved quicker.

You may need to apply on compassionate reasons.

You should check Cic website for the exemption that pertains to you.

So if this is the case, can one cancel a scheduled interview and opt for Dropbox?

[quote author=Rikkytokunbo post=99870254][/quote]

Yeah.
I also got the email, however, i have repeatedly logged into my profile, i see that the appointment still active. I can only CANCEL or RESCHEDULE to another date from the current appointment hold date of March.

Others said their appointments were automatically removed from their profile when they logged into to check.

I plan to goto the embassy to attend the appointment for interview on that date since it is still showing on my profile page as active.

emeldamicheals:
They cancelled all March and April appointments. However, you can reschedule for them.

Hello,

I am in the same boat as you, however, i recieved email for cancelled appointment. Yet, when i checked my board i still see that my appointment is active for March.

The options available is "cancel appointment", "reschedule appointment", "emergency appointment".

I am thinking i will just still go to the embassy on that day. Have anyone had this experience?

Alba3:
Please, I need help for a cousin. Her appointment was scheduled for April since mid January only to receive a text message that the appointment has been rescheduled, that she should check her email. Checked email, nothing; Checked board, instead of April date, it's now 'appointment has not been scheduled'. What to do next please?

Funny story.
After successfully scheduling appointment for March 24th, i got an email after about 4 hours that my appointment has been cancelled.

A review of my profile still shows either cancel appointment or reschedule appointment.

If i go to the embassy like that, will i still be able to attend the interview?

pufframmy:
all gone

Guys,

Run down to US Appointment scheduling page, March 24 date open.

I just scheduled successfully.

Fastest fingers.

Is anyone else having difficulty logging into nouonline.net?

I keep getting "try again later" feedback.

Hello fellows;

Please i have an issue, i erroneously answered the security questions on my cic account wrongly and it has been locked out.
Now i am trying to apply for visa for two (2) of my kids but after creating a new cic accountusing my (parent) name, filling the eligibility questionnaire is a bit confusing.

Should i fill in my kids information in terms of work, financial indenpendence et al or do i use mine considering that i already have my visit visa approved and simply want to apply for visa for the kids to join me for the vacation?

Please i need instruction how to go about this.
