Thanks for your ideas Akannitommy. I think I will follow your suggestion and wait till I have return home before sending my passport to them. Thank you.


Akannitommy:
I suggest you send to Abuja but find out if they will allow you indicate Nigeria (whjatever city you are based in) as return address. If that is not possible and you are unable to predict how long the passport could spend in Kumasi before it is returned to you there (plus they might send to Abuja for stamping regardless), them my humble advice is to wait for two weeks when you get back to base, before you send. Just my own opinion - and what I would consider to take a decision - if I was in your shoes.

Hi all. Please I hav an urgent question. I did my biometrics in Abuja. But am currently in Kumasi Ghana due to my work. Is it advisable I send my passport for stamping to Abuja were I did my biometrics or to Accra? But I will be back in Nigeria in two weeks time

Hello. Please, I got successfully applied for NSE and received the confirmation email that my application has been received on March 10th, 2021. I then completed up-front medicals on the 16th of March. However, I have not received a response from the IRCC and this is the 31st day since I submitted. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced such delayed response? I feel anxious and probably check my IRCC portal 5 times a day.
Bros, easy o. No allow yourself get high blood pressure just because of IRCC. It is 1000% normal for IRCC not to send you any update now about your medical or application generally. Calm down. Just fire them with webforms to ease your anxiousness a bit. Lol

God will indeed not bring you so far only just to let you down, bro. We'll soon celebrate.


PS. You praise me too much. I only rendered the services you paid for.

This is good news, Omali. I told you, wait for it. One month without the start of eligibility review is not enough delay for you to worry so much. God will finish the good work. PPR is coming your way soon, mate.
In fact make I tell una, anyone here looking for help in writing their SoP should contact Uzomachukwu. I initially said I will keep the testimony until after I got my visa in my hand. But as I checked my account today and saw that my eligibility review already started on the 26th, my heart just dey jolly. Even with my 4.3 CGPA, I had applied two times to different schools in Canada for an MA in Archeology. 2018-19, no admission. 2019-2020, still no admission. 7 different universities, no one even waitlisted my application. So last year I had already said I was not going to waste my money applying again. But fortunately, I saw Uzomachukwu's post here just before the application deadline as he talked about how he was given admission and scholarships by three different universities in just one year.

Omo, me I said noo! He must tell me how managed to do it. Just one trial and he got three admissions when I have been applying since 2018 without even any encouraging feedback. Supervisors no even gree give me face sef.

My guy charged me wella shaaa. But he really did the job. In fact, he took my SOP and tore it to pieces. As I saw the red marks everywhere, I just told him to pls just write a new one for me. He also rewrote all the recommendation letters I was using. As God would have it, last month, I got admission from Calgary with part funding to cover my tuition, and this month again, another offer from University of Saskatchewean. I had already submitted my visa application before Saskatchewan messaged me. Even though I don't have my visa yet, I already feel like a big boy. With the beautiful 5 page SoP which the SoP guru himself designed for my study permit application, my confidence dey high. I trust that my very big God will not let me down. God will not bring me this far just to let me down midway.

My timeline: visa submission - Feb 27
NSE request - March 3
NSE Submission - March 10
Eligibility starts - 26 March
PPR - Very Very Very Soon!

In a sane world, this is how short everyone's application timeline should be, if not shorter. But this life no balance at all. Hence some applications seem to take ages while others take just a few weeks.
So my eligibility finally started on the 26th of February, that's exactly one month after I submitted my application. God's grace I pray.
