Good new has finally come. God is great. After 6 whole months of waiting. I pray that those still waiting will feel the way I am feeling right now IJN. Amen

Whoa, this is good news!
Your timeline is similar to mine: May 9, 2021. I'm glad the long and tortuous wait has finally ended for you, as I hope that mine ends soonest.

Meanwhile, were there some especial things you did while waiting for your approval?

Congratulations!

Teemenzo:
Guys, i got refused just now. See attached

So sorry about that. You've gotta purge yourself of the ill feelings resulting from it and refire. God no go shame you in your next application.

Aijay26:
this is the portal I used. And it took less than 60 days.

How were you able to get the mandatory Invite Code to create your login account?

nairagrounds:
My good people of this platform, God, has done it oooooooo: PPR has landed.

Both emails came in at 6:35 and 6:38 AM, respectively. I never knew it could be that early.

WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOESN'T EXIST.

I'll return to share my experience as I am still very much overwhelmed with Joy right now.

Congratulations!

Hello Onaya, the mp you contacted, is it just for niagara or Ontario province ? Also how long did it take before you got a reply from the assistant ?

Niagara, precisely. I had to google the MP representing my school region. It was between 5 to 6 days.

Leyemoshood:
Thank you very much, what response did you get from the assistant/IRCC?

"I spoke with IRCC today. I learned that your application is at the office in Nairobi. The medicals and criminal records check were completed and passed. Both are now on file. You may need an interview, but a final decision on that has not been made. If they require an interview, you will be contacted. IRCC has received the webform that you recently submitted, and it was added to your file.

To sum it up, the file is under review by IRCC and you now must wait for a decision. Currently there is no further action required on your part."

That's the feedback I got from the MP's assistant. May God quicken our testimonies.

Leyemoshood:
Make una help me oo, my student's application is now 6 months and no decision yet, eligibility started more than 3 months ago. We have sent mails to different offices but they're saying the application is under active review. We also sent to MPs, but the MPs are not responding.

Anyone with the contact of any Ontanio/Toronto MP?

Tomorrow, being 9th November, makes my application six months. I have sent a lot of email to all the IRCC's processing centres around the world and raised web forms at different times; yet, I got the same response: "your application is under active review..."

I have also applied for my GCMS note since September 18th, but I'm yet to get it. But I've written to the MP representing the constituency where my school is situated for his intervention. One of his assistants responded to my email and obliged to call IRCC to inquire about the status of my application, which she actually did and gave me a feedback on. See the email contact of the MP representing Ontario Province below, that's if your school is located within the province.

I just got refusal today again ....3rd time applicant. Base on fund and asset. Like this eeeh. I am done with Canada. Don't have that time again to put myself into unnecessary pressure and B.p. I want to thank all those who tried their best to answer my question in one way or the other. I move to the next phase of life. All the best to everyone waiting . I love you all for the unity. Bye

This is very saddening! However, I implore you not to give up. Your next attempt could be your stroke of fortune. Order your notes. I'm pretty sure that most gurus here would be happy to assist you tackle the issues raised in your notes by the VO. More so, why don't you consider taking a loan from Mpower to improve your POF?

Remember that winners never quit; and quitters never win.

We shall definitely rejoice with you.

PPR just dropped now!!!

July 8th Applicant!!!

I give all my wholehearted Thanks to Jehovah God, he is the only Visa Officer who approved my visa.

Mat 7:7,8 says
"Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you; 8 for everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened"

Don't joke with Prayer! if you don't know how to pray please keep Praying. He will answer you at the right time.

I thank my able boss...@frankrobbn for his encouraging words and advice. He is really a blessing to this forum.

I wish all ppr awaiters approval!

More Details is coming soon....

Congratulations!
It's the Lord's doing.

makano:
Mr Onaya

what has Grazat2021 done to warrant all this bruhaha?

I wonder how your SOP and LOE will look like with all these recalcitrance inordinates , anyways the Visa Officer shouldn't have problem as regards that...

Peace

The Honorable Makano,

Abeg, na joke I dey ooo �. As I see say all man dey vex wella for the matter wey been dey for ground, I come reason am say e go make brain to crack una ribs small, at least to put some smiles for una face. Nobi that kinda grammar I blow for my SOP ooo �...abi you wan make the VO nack me akpako?

@Grazat2021, na play play I dey ooo...just wanted us to laugh it off.

@Grazat2021, your recalcitrance was obviously inordinate and a stark display of vulgarity in the first place. The least I had expected from you was a total acquiescence to what most members of this forum had expected from you, regardless of whatever. This is because people's timelines enrich this platform with invaluable pieces of information that act as a torchlight on the paths of newbies whose hallowed journeys to the Maple Land have just begun. It is simply called Social Responsibility.

Teemenzo:
It will surely end well, Congrats to us in advance. Our positive response is closer than expected.

Amen!

Best wishes.

Teemenzo:
You are most likely going to get a positive reply as they are requesting more medical tests from you. I believe every other parts has been checked before they started sending the medical requests.

Truly, the silence is EPIC.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. What actually prompted the request for additional medical examinations was their suspicion that I might have a TB, following the result of my first chest x-ray. But I thank God it was negative. The review of my eligibility and background check have started since the second week of August. I really wonder what the heck they're still reviewing till now. Maybe my application has been classified under the complex category. Someone in the past on this thread also had a similar experience, as he had to wait for six solid months before getting a final decision on his application.

The silence is epic indeed! But God no go shame us las las.

Teemenzo:
For the Applicants who applied in march, april and may, still waiting for answers. Please table your case hear so that we can see the similarities and possibly see the VO's concerns.

Just my own little opinion ooo. We shall all rejoice at the end.

I submitted my study visa application on the 9th of May, 2021; I'm still waiting for the IRCC's final decision on my application. After my upfront e-Medical sheet was received by the immigration, I was required to undergo additional medical examinations—sputum investigations, precisely—which I did within the given time frame. Three months after my previous medicals at IOM, the IRCC demanded that I do another chest x-ray as a followup to the one I did initially. Thereafter, the result was said to be negative, and my medical status was updated to "you passed the medical..." some two months ago.

Ever since then, I've been on a tortuous wait to hear from the IRCC. I've sent innumerable emails and raised a lot of web forms, too. On the 18th of September, I applied for my GCMS notes to ascertain the status of my application. I am still waiting for my notes to come. At some point in time, I just wanted to hear about my application, not minding what the outcome might be in order to cool off from the tensions I have had to endure from the delay. However, I am still very optimistic that my good news would come soonest.

Meanwhile, I have already deferred my admission to next fall, being that my program's entry point is only at fall semester. That's exactly where I am now.

I wish everyone of us in this tiring wait for the IRCC Godspeed and grace to be successful in the end.

usor00:
I got May 9th, 19th, 23rd, 25th. Is that all? going pls don't miss out.

May 9th here, too.

Thanks a lot, brotherly.

gracedson:
No, fill only the Applicant’s part (Section 2).

Good afternoon, Nairalanders,

I have a quick question. While filling out the consent form for GCMS notes application, is one expected to fill the parts that are in three columns with the figures and headings: "2.1-2.3 Related Individual's Information"?—that is, after filling the required details of the applicant and those of their representative in Canada.

Please, I need an urgent response from the gurus here. I want to apply for my GCMS notes right away.

Thanks in advance.

Hearty congratulations to you, brotherly. It was just yesterday that you and I were talking about this. I'm super excited for the good tidings you've got today from the IRCC.

Iffylove, thanks a lot for your empathy and encouragement. It's barely a week now that I applied for a deferral to next fall. I'll certainly send my new LOA via web form to IRCC once I receive it from my school.

Daaluu rienne!

Iffylove:
Am so sorry about all that you had to go through....
Happy that the medical has been updated to pass...
deffer your resumption, send the updated LOA to IRCC and await your goodnews..
I know the pain of having to stay over a year again....just keep being healthy and occupy yourself with some other profitable things till fall 2022
it will definitely end in praise
Gurus will provide you more answers....thank you

Iffylove:
Hello everyone...
If you submitted in May and you have not received a decision yet...please kindly indicate
Thank you


We pray for good news for everyone

I submitted my application on the 9th of May 2021; did medicals on the 10th, and biometrics on the 14th of the same month. I was asked to undergo additional medical examinations, following the suspicion that arose from my chest x-ray. I was asked to supply the clinic some samples of my sputum for three days, which I judiciously did. I also had returned to my base to carry out my personal medical examinations at a top-ranking clinic within my area of residence to see if there would be any correlation with what I was told at IOM in Abuja. And the results were perfectly okay.

Interestingly, the result of my sputum investigations came out as "negative" after two solid months—that was by the end of July. I went for a repeat chest x-ray after three months of the previous one I did—in accordance with the IRCC's modus operandi —that was precisely on the 11th of August, 2021. While the above was happening, the processing of my study permit application was halted by the IRCC in that they wanted to be be fully sure that I was certified "medically okay" by their designated clinic before they could carry on with it. My medical status was updated to "passed" on the 19th of August, after appealing for their action on that through emails and web forms. Thereafter, I had to plead for the commencement of my eligibility review and background check via a web form and email messages —which started within 24hrs after my plea. Ever since then, I haven't heard anything from the IRCC.

My program has already started this fall, and I didn't start virtually because of the uncertainty surrounding my application. Also, I didn't begin my program online because I'm on a scholarship that is attached to a TAship. This implies that I would have to be engaged in a teaching assistant job by my faculty, from where remittances would be made for my tuition payment. Hence I had to apply for a deferral till next fall in 2022. Unfortunately, my program's entry point is only during the fall semester. I'm really quaking for the period of time I'd have to stay here waiting for the IRCC, and one more solid year in 9ja. This is my second deferral, having previously deferred my offer from fall 2020 to 2021—and now to 2022. But in all things, I'm still very optimistic about getting a positive response from the Canadian immigration office.

I feel so very thrilled to read about the good news many applicants have shared on this platform. God will quicken our good tidings, especially those of us still awaiting His miracles.

gbemiodula:
Got this response from Nairobi after i sent them a mail that i haven't gotten any update on my status. May 31st applicant.. Please do you think there's any hope I'm getting a decision soon.

I think the response you got from Nairobi is a generic one, for I also received exactly the same email when I contacted them via a web form.

That's cool. At least you're now sure that your application is in progress. Let's hope you get a positive feedback sooner than you think.

[quote author=Bayor65 post=105075815][/quote]

I will advise you to contact IRCC via email and web forms, appealing for the commencement of your eligibility review requirements. The tone of your email/ web form should be very polite and appealing. If your medical examination has been updated to "passed" on your GCkey account, you may see an update within 48hrs. That was what I did, and it worked for me. Now, my "eligibility review" and "background check" are in progress.

Bayor65:
14th of May, nothing yet too
No eligibility nothing nothing
It’s tiring

Mzrosy:
Hello everyone
I am new here, having gone through the messages,I have many quests going on in my ming
Please is there anyone going to British Columbia province that has his/her study permit aprroved?
Also is there anybody that submitted on or before May 15 and eligibility review is yet to start on his or her application

Yes. I submitted before May 15th, and my eligibility review is yet to start. Do you know what might be responsible for the delay with that?

Hello All,

Please, is there any group for Nigerian students heading for Brock University, or other schools within St Catherines in Ontario? I'd be glad to receive a feedback on this.

Congratulations!

Please, how did you contact the the notary lawyer for his services? Where can I find one? And what's the likely cost of securing their services for a notarized affidavit of support?

Kindly reply back to me.

NwanyiOkpa:
It has finally ended in praise for me. God bless Frankrobbn, Justmellow, and the many others that have been giving me hope and answering all my plenty of questions. Note that I used an agent or my application because i was too busy with work to continually study the tips on this thread and apply them. I am a second-time applicant.

Timeline:
January 20th: Medical done
January 27th: Application submitted with all NSE requirements- Sponsor's 1-year Mybankstatement of about 11million, IELTS result with 7.5 band, and Medical result.
February 20th
February 26th: Second ghost update
March 4th: Third ghost update
March 9th: Fourth ghost update
May 4th: PPR and correspondence letter


Reason for the first refusal: They said that my finance wasn't sufficient even after i submitted an account statement of 12million and paid my first-semester tuition.

How i tackled the refusal: I paid the full tuition for the first year, provided the sponsor's account statement of 11million and i also made a notarised affidavit of sponsorship signed by my sponsor. I did not use a notarised affidavit of sponsorship in my first application but i used an affidavit from the high court. A friend advised me to use a notary lawyer for my affidavit and so far, everyone that i know that used a notary lawyer was approved. Notarised documents are recognized worldwide.


Documents submitted:
All IMM forms
Tuition payment receipt CAD$21,000
notarised affidavit of sponsorship
notarised affidavit of good behavior
police report
IELTS result
medical slip
letter of explanation
passport photograph
data page of passport
sponsor's birth certificate (sponsor is my brother)
CAC document for my business
Employment letter
Recommendation letter

NOTE: I used an agent for my application. There are a few agents that knows what they are doing. My agent did not hold back my login details like other complained about.

I got admitted into about 7 schools in the USA also but I decided to go to Canada for reasons best known to me.

God wey do am for me go do am for una.

I am so excited. As i dey type sef, my fingers dey shake. Immediately i logged in and saw that my application has been updated i was like; "these people with their ghost updates again" before i clicked on the application and saw my correspondence letter and PPR. I immediately ran and woke my dad from sleep to break the good news to him. He has always been supportive.

That is exactly what I have been trying to explain to them here. They're really very annoying.

shupy:
You should be provided an MBS certificate. That's what you're going to upload.

Good morning everyone.

I'm in a very serious dilemma here. I am right in my bank (Sterling Bank) with a customer service rep to get mybankstatement for my study permit application. First, they told me that they don't issue bank statements using MBS. After a heated argument with them and several calls to their other branches, they accepted to do it.

They told me that they can only send a copy MBS to the receiving embassy, without me, the account holder having any access to it. Please, I want to know if anyone banking with Sterling Bank has experienced that kind of thing while requesting his MBS from the bank. And if that's what obtains with the bank, how then will I upload my POF on my GCkey account in the space provided for Proof of means of financial support?

Your urgent response would be highly appreciated.

Good evening everyone.

Please, I need your help with some piece of advice on this issue. I'm currently booking my IELTS exam with IDP, which I intend to sit on the 17 of this month. There's a space for Recognising Organisations while filling out the forms. So, I chose Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council , which is the closest organisation to the Canadian embassy.

However, my worry now is that there's no space provided for the specific receiving address of the Canadian High Commission here in Nigeria where my test results ought to be sent to.

Does IDP only conduct IELTS paper based exams only? This is because I didn't see any option for CBT. And I only saw such tests as Writing, Listening and Reading. Does it mean that they don't conduct Speaking test? Between the British Council and IDP, which of them would you suggest I register with?

Please, someone should help me out to clarify the above issues urgently, as I'm at the point of making payment for the exam. If you have previously booked and written your IELTS exam with IDP, your kind guidance would be highly cherished.

Thanks in advance.

Could you please recommend some apps that are useful for IELTS exam preparation @Spectro?

Spectro:
Anyone can apply through the NSE route as long as he/she is a Nigerian and presently lives in Nigeria.

Of course, an NSE invitation notification may be sent to an applicant.

However, to qualify for the NSE route, you must provide

1. IELTS result
2. MBS

You can't use any short-cut. There is no other way around it, even if you studied BA English.

If you don't have both of these documents, your application will be processed normally.

Thanks a lot, @MsJanez01. When I said that I read English in school, I meant that I studied English as a course in the university, and have a degree in it, not merely as a taught language .
And that is one major point that the waiver from my school emphasizes.

On the other hand, I am still waiting to hear people's opinions/advice regarding my bank account which hasn't been engaged in meaningful transactions for a year now: if it wouldn't be any issue when my brother transfers 2m to it for my POF.

MsJanez01:
U see this race, just do what is asked of you. We all read English in the university but a number of us still write the ielts. IRCC demanding for ielts from Nigerians as a requirement for NSE are fully in the know that English is our first language. That doesn't mean your application won't be processed but through NSE; will be at the discretion of the VO. My advise, just write it cause the wait for NSE is draining how much more through normal route. Dont be at their mercy

Thanks for your opinion. But does it mean that the waiver and the document I intend to get wouldn't have any positive effect on my application without sitting IELTS, especially as I read English in the university?

TennieYF:
Why not just write the IELTS, you only need a band score of 6, it's not that hard....I think
