Thank you @MikeDimeji for guiding me selflessly through all the steps without complaints. Thank you @Oluwanishore for your input when I was at the crossroad of choosing to use the new or old portal(I used GCkey/Old Portal). Thank you @CharitoJames for the prayers and good wishes. (Rooting for you. Please reapply when you can) @7COLORS your PPR is this week! Everyone waiting for PPR, I I pray God answers you speedingly.
To everyone else who answered my questions and contribute to this thread always, thank you too.

It was quite hard to fight the feeling of doubts and uncertainties. Your "life" could even feel its in a halt.
Guys, if you feel these during your waiting time, keep on praying with your spouse and give thanks everyday.
If you are single, please speak and pray with someone whom your mind is in sync with. Be it siblings, parents, friends or even visit this thread.

Plus: My documents were not perfect as compared to some others on this thread. No two application is the same. Please do not be discouraged by the lots of documents you see on this thread. Submit what you can according to the visa application requirements, and don't "doctor" documents in any form. Not even receipts, invoices or whatever.

Try to meet the minimum requirements then God will help you.

Return tickets on lufthansa,klm airfrance are from 2m plus.One way is about 1.4m,while in some cases Qatar one way presently could be for 900k while return tickets on Qatar is over a million or more.Tickets are very expensive now.Gone are those days of 350k return ticket.

Predator188:

How did you got return flight for 2m, return flight is normally lower than one way ticket at all flight bookings and depends on the preferred date for departure and return

Your given exchange rate
Usd Bank =430
Black market=815

2500usd to naira bank rate =1,075,000
2500usd to naira black market= 2,037,500 naira

Example # Assuming you book ticket with Qatar Airways
One way ticket is =733,991 Naira
Return =350,000 naira
Total =1,084,9911 naira which is one way ticket and return flight

2500 usd @ bank rate =1,096,300 naira PTA
2500usd @black market rate=2,037,500 naira black market

To sum the total savings from pTA instead of black market @ 2500usd =?
Black market - Bank rate =
2,037,500-1,096,300 =962500 naira
Total savings =?
962,500 naira -350,000 naira for return flight =612500 naira....
Total savings from PTA = 612,500 naira

Congratulations,kindly reconfirm your PPR date.

My Salary account SOA
Study leave and letter of introduction from my office
receipt for first semester payment
Sworn affidavit of sponsorship
Letter of sponsorship
Sponsors Retirement letter showing benefits etc
Sponsors 6-month SOA (Did not know about MBS until after I submitted and joined nairaland)
Landed document of sponsor
Birth certificate of Sponsor and my siblings



If you see my timeline, it took me 7weeks and 2 days to give my biometrics. Something people do in 2 days. I got the BIL on April 4th same day I submitted my application. Trying to schedule the appointment became an issue, I was not getting otp to proceed. When I finally did, I don’t know how come o but I had booked for 2 applicants so I was turned back at vfs Lagos since I could not produce the second person.


I sha went back and tried to reschedule but I could not get a date within the 30days. The earliest I got was on the 31st day. I asked someone and he said because there were a few public holidays within that time, vfs will answer me but of course they didn’t.

Then I checked NL and decided to send webforms and emails but I was only getting automated responses. I was searching for anyone with the same expired BIL experience as me to enquire how they solved their issue and I found nothing. I asked for advice on NL and nobody could really help. Most people advised me to withdraw my application and submit a new one which made sense. I finally decided to do that, but I was going to give it one more week.



Then I stumbled upon someone’s post that had an unrelated issue, but he said he emailed Abuja office on Monday 8am and he got a response. That’s how I decided to try that, so I scheduled my email to Abuja for 8am on Monday telling them about my expired BIL. And surprisingly I got a response on Wednesday from Abuja that my new BIL has been approved which was then emailed to me by Thursday of the same week. Just putting this out there in case there’s anyone having the same or similar issue. Cos I met someone the day I was finally successful that had a similar issue, and I told her to do the same. She did and she got a quick response too. And when she was refused for not submitting her LOA, she sent mails to Abuja with proof etc her application was reconsidered and she is now in Canada.



The rest of the story is just the normal tiring wait for ppr; sending emails to mp’s with no response, disturbing IRCC with webforms etc. Although, at some point I was worried cos I had discrepancies in the certificates submitted. Like all my documents have my middle name except my passport and birth certificate. Also, the DOB on my transcript and Waec is wrong and I didn’t submit any affidavit to back it up or give any explanation. Luckily it did not hurt my application.



I am thankful to all those that have been contributing and answering questions on here. And I pray that those waiting will get a favorable response soonest.

June 23rd applicant. It will end in praise amen.

Anxiety wan finish me for here...[/quote]

It is not a problem.The airline is just stopping for their personal arrangement.You will even be inside the Aircraft.Wishing you a safe trip.

Fendy34:
Hello Everyone, please help ... Ky flight has a 55 mins stop in Dublin . I’m not changing airlines ... hope I won’t need transit visa pls . I’m using Ethiopian airlines and the stops are in ADD and DUB.

If your ticket was issued by an agent,the agent may have to put the infant ticket in for a refund if it is refundable and issue a new child fare ticket for your child.

However,if you issued online you can call the airline or go to Turkish office and they will rectify what you will pay is subject to availability.


quote author=perrol post=116781923]Please i want an enlightenment concerning this , someone help us pay for flight turkish airlines , during payment they pick 1 child and 1 infant, instead of 2 child because my baby will be 2year before we go. My question is how can we change my second child from infant to child and to know how much I needed to Add.
Anyone will such experience should please help thanks[/quote

Well, I will say it is not about the name of the airline,it is about the route they will fly to Canada.Just make sure the airline you will book will not have a stopover in the US.But it is sure once is Delta Airlines it will always fly to the US first.

Makano did a good job on the LOE and SOP, afterwards I applied.

Benstephen9:
I’m so grateful to God… I can’t believe I’m sharing my story..

It all started at October 2021, firstly I tried USA and I was denied without even knowing the reason. My application was handled by course mate in undergraduate here in Nigerian. He travelled to Canada last year and did his application and visa by himself… he is a genius sha…
He assured me I will get Canada that I should give it a try.. he helped me in all the processes without taken a fee that if my visa get approved I can appreciate him(there are good people)

So he helped me in my admission and I got admitted in to 2 different school. He wrote all my SOP for all my admission

On January 25th 2022 he submitted my visa after which I knew about naira land. So i noticed that we have to state our visa denial from reading the thread. I initially ignored it so I got information from this thread to send web form of which I sent by immediately.

Looongggggg wait
Order gcms note it says “recommend interview” some say it is a positive sign..

Lonnggg wait emailing Mp none replied me.

On. 17 August I got Bvl without decision.. I just gave up. I was depressed after all this long wait I will be denied (my mind telling me). My friend that did my application drafted a mail to send to them after 10 days of wait. On Monday 29th August I emailed them by 7:00am and by 11:30 am my ppr dropped.

Because of depression I travelled to stay with my parents so I got the good new with them(family is everything)

First time applicant
Submitted 25th January 2022

Bvl 17th August

Special thanks to my friend ikebobo and his brother Emeka(you guess are friends that can be called brothers) I didn’t pay any fee. The confidence and encouragement. And thanks to Nairaland Canada thread for your assistance I really appreciate

It's Grace! I say it's Grace from God Almighty!
I don't even know where to start. It's a long story but I will keep it short with my Timeline

N.B: I used both Webform & Email for the submission of the extra Docs

Then it got to some point I laughed at myself but the only thing I was doing is keeping my hope high whenever I felt down. Guess what, my agent didn't submit STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (SOP) along with my application, this alone wan make I craze but Omo na laugh I dey laugh too saying God will do it. I decided to take a step and not be ignorant, and then I found myself in @KrystalOD DM. I even thought she won't respond to my issue but as God will have it she responded and before I knew she took my issue personally as if na her matter, she asked me a lot of questions and started working out solutions for me. I will say this, CRYSTAL, GOD BLESS YOU! ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS YOU!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
She finished everything and send it to me, and also gave me some procedures to follow which I did and I kept waiting but I never stopped resending additional documents until IRCC told me documents are received by the responsible office.

quote author=Comfyski post=116096556][/quote]

Please I have question was your visitor visa cancelled when you got your student visa?

Comfyski:
Hello gurus,

Just to recap from the last thread, I applied for study permit as a visitor in canada back in February, Got ppr in June and got my study Visa stamped while i was in canada. However the study permit wasn't mailed to me for more than 8 weeks,

Following the advise from the group, I raised webforms and reached out to the MP in my area, who came to help.
I was told that the study permit came in as a letter to my Canadian address even though I really never received it.

They asked to apply for a replacement which I did, but I just got an information letter and the port of entry letter of introduction today telling me to proceed to a POE port of entry to have a first issue of my study permit.

Please i want to ask as a Nigerian passport holder, do i have to return back to Nigeria to come back to canada to get to a port of entry?
Nb: I have only have a Canadian visitor and study visa issued.

Thank you all.

Ok well noted.

quote author=CornOak post=116083656]

One doesn't need a valid student visa to apply for FORM A (School fees).

However, a valid visa and a return ticket are required for get PTA before traveling.[/quote]

[quote author=TradeSunMoore post=116083658][/quote]

Well noted thank you.

did you read the last sentence?


[quote author=Ojb555666 post=116085754][/quote]

School fees.

Isyma:

Are you referring to form A as per living expenses or school fees?

I dont think it is possible for you to apply for form A without a valid student visa.It might just be in the system and it wont be approved.
I guess it is because your visa was not attached as at when you applied
You can reconfirm though.

Sean9014:
The processing of my form A, for my first semester tuition is now 7 weeks and 2 days with Polaris bank. please what can i do guys? school will resume soon and i have received PPR. Is it possible to move to another bank? Please advice.
