Its possible to talk about in your SOP with intention to renew your passport 6 months to expiry. Then upload on a webform when you get the new

Teenwa:
Hello Guys,pls my passport expires in Dec2022 and my admission is for Sept. Application commenced January.Is it advisable to start processing a new passport now or will my old passport serve if requested?

My concern is that the antigen test is only valid for 24/48 hrs and for those going to Canada which will last for more than 24 hours. imagine u do it a day before u travel like yesterday and u travel today u will get to Canada on Tuesday. The number of days will be over 2 days which could be due to delay in flight or cancellation

username12:
The attachment here should clarify you. You can do the test the previous day and fly the next day and it's perfectly OK.

Is Switch health a covid testing lab available in Nigeria?


Then proceeded to the arrival Covid test cz I was selected. Luckily I had registered for switch health so it was easy..

@legacy edition

No be my papa get plane nah abi which kind thing be this one. Abeg dey snap dey go. This girl snapped like 10 times and at every time, she asked for my permission. I just confess to her, please I am not hearing what the hair hostess are saying, nah London we just komot and I dey hear everything, e reach Canada own I no hear anything again, the Bae agreed to help me with any communications with the air hostess.

After 9 hours on air, we landed in Canada, disembarked from the flight and proceeded to the hall, I generated a receipt, a lady directed me to where I declared my belonging and luggage. A receipt was also generated, waited on a queue and I was gloriously called.

He directed me to another place to go get my study permit.

quote author=Chiziteremary post=110562389]Hello guys,
I received a refusal yesterday. Sad but its well. God still God. It will end in praise for me if its Gods will that i go to Canada. Makano pls i want to contact u for assistance. I need to reapply. Kindly reply, i will send u a mail[/quote]

I need accommodation in Vancouver @UCW. is it possible, pls send a msg thanks

My P.....P...R dropped today like I said earlier today the feeling is magic and I would love everyone to feel this way on this platform because you deserve it. My application was imperfect with its advantage and disadvantages such as am in my mid-forties and I also got some refusals in the past but you see what they are looking for is that truthful person in their application and admissible into their country. I submitted loads of documents cos I have them, my documents were over 70 but that was not my strength, it is the power of the Living God Jehovah. Regarding sending mails, I am someone who hates to bother people for anything but when it comes to the job I can send emails to get the job done. I will text, email, call, chat and buzz just to get my job done and I realized that was the way out although I didn't start on time but when I did, it was extra polite and reasonable. I also contacted the MP for Vancouver and I was polite and they responded. I will recommended that if your timeline is overdue send webforms but extra polite and make them see reasons why they need to finalized your application.

In giving honor to whom it is due, its my heavenly Father that deserve the praise who is worthy to be worshipped. Secondly, I used someone on this platform (frankrobbn1) on this platform because I didn't want to do try and error. He's good with his applications and has a great understanding of what is required. Makano, Teemenzo, Anon123, Scott99ish, Osemigbo, all the @usernames you guys are all selfless. You guys deserve a lifetime medals

Good day Visa Officer

Thanks for putting up with me regarding the numerous emails. It is not my intention to send you bulk emails but the need to ensure the family is prepared for my departure.

Secondly, I have many responsibilities in the office and to ensure my assistant is well briefed. A schedule has been drawn to ensure my handover notes are precise and adequate for him to carry out my job without any issues.

Lastly, I belong to a few association like the ........society where am the communication and logistic personnel. I need to give notice ahead of time to ensure no stone is left unturned.

I hereby appeal to you as a honorable member of IRCC in Nairobi, Kenya to assist in finalizing my study permit application. I am sure as soon as this application is finalized there will be no need to send you mails anymore.

My kind regards to you

Congrats mama, U have encouraged me on this platform. May God favor you in the land.
Huge congrats to you

mama12345:
Good news guys, my PPR just came in at 7:46am this morning. It can only be God, I am still in shock. My story is a special one, my Bachelors is Law, I have an LLB, BL (Law School), and Masters in International Business, but I applied for Diploma, not even Post Graduate Diploma, but Diploma in Digital Business Management. I wasn't even aware of this forum when I applied in September, I just followed a YouTuber (Noel Abingwa) and learnt the steps and documents needed when applying for my visa through one of his Videos. I contacted him and he was kind enough to share his statement of purpose/ letter of explanation with me. As I started getting anxious, I decided to join this forum 30th December and it was so encouraging because I kept getting alot of support, more especially from @Makano.

I got this message below from Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship's Office, on the 18th of February 2022

IRCC records confirm that your application was received on September 6, 2021, and is being processed at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi. Criminality checks and medical examination results are passed, however, further review is required before an eligibility decision is made. This means that the case is no longer straightforward and will, in most situations, lead to additional delays in processing. Once a decision has been made, officers will be in a position to determine next steps in processing

Thank you for answering my questions, more especially in the past two days after the message I got above.

@Makano encouraged me that "If truly you are truthful with your application and you didn't hide any information from them, then expect a positive decision from them"

Thank you @PatrickOkunima @olasubomy @mrprolifik @VIKKYIFE @Teemenzo @Time2soar1 @Predator188 who helped give me answers to my posts as well.

I even ordered for GCMS notes on the 4th of January but its still not out.

RelaxingEnd:
Hello, everyone.

My brother wants to sponsor me and he's a director at my dad's company. I volunteer at the company. Does my brother need to bring any of the companies documents?
I've seen the documents other people brought, but I'm kind of confused concerning mine.

My dear don't try any luck. Get someone to book a date after biometrics and do it. No be play play for IOM 6hrs or 8 hrs

JOSHCANADA:
hmmm I'll try and see if I can have the medical test done on the day. I'm not based in Lagos you see. So i'll try my luck on biometric day when i visit Lagos

Go to IOM in GRA Ikeja physically and book an appointment or if you can not physically go ask a friend to there physically book a date. You will definitely get a date

JOSHCANADA:
No one has answered me on this question below.. please I'm desperate


Gurus in the house please help!

I want to do upfront medical but Q-life website says fully booked in this month and March.

Can I walk in to the clinic without appointment and do the medical test in Q-life or IOM?

Looking forward to your responses.

Generic response! I got this as well but the next minute I sent an email. Reconstructed a good response why my application should be finalized. I never stopped.

Malone122:
hello please a friend got this reply from them he applied October does this mean he should stop sending mails

Hello buckyfof,

Please did you omit any of the documents that was mentioned?

buckyfof:
