Hello NL Family, pls my brother got his PPR today and he lives in Abia State. What is the current process of sending Passports to IRCC Abuja for Visa Stamping?

Update/Testimony: Praise God my NL Family! My friend still sent her passport for stamping even though she saw her Passport Request 90 days after it was sent. Usually, IRCC would write on that PP Request Letter that if they don't receive your passport within 30 days, your visa approval could be cancelled(Paraphrased). After her passport got to IRCC Abuja, it was held for some time which was unusual, so she sent email and raised a web form, they stamped her visa after about 2 weeks. Thank you Lord for doing it for us again.

Hello NL Family, does anyone here have experience with receiving visa from the embassy after the 30 Days passport request window. My friend applied for visitor visa since 2021 to travel to Canada with her daughter on Student Visa. Her visa was under processing since then until April 2023 when it was approved after 2 years but she didn't receive any email. She only discovered only yesterday which is more than 90 days after the passport request was sent. Any useful hints NL family?

See my update below

Bobomaigida:


She can raise webform to IRCC to ascertain if she can still send her passports for stamping, but then she would have to state how she missed the emails for her to send her passports also, does she have access to her portal, what does it say?

She has access to her portal but she used an agent. The agent thinks there is no problem that they will send the passport. We will wait and see.

The company must be financially buoyant if it belongs to a third party, and the cash flow must be very healthy to sponsor you single-handedly. For instance, it will be challenging to convince the VO that funds will be available if the third-party company’s annual revenue (based on cash inflow) is not more than the cost of your education by a wide margin. Note that the scenario is viewed differently if the company belongs to a family member. Alternatively, the company can pledge to bear a specific cost of your education or approve a paid study leave, assuming the applicant is an employee of the company. Please, my response is not to discourage you but to help you make an informed decision.

You can provide some of these documents, if applicable

Proof of business Reg
One-year bank statement (you can submit MBS)
Tax documents
Letter of sponsor
The board of directors’ resolution on financing your education
Proof of business transactions like invoices, receipts, contracts etc

This list is not exhaustive.

Hello NL Family, does anyone here have experience with company sponsorship? Any advice would be useful. My brother wants to apply for visa with company sponsorship so that he can have enough proof of fund. Thank you

I have seen this mix up in an aircraft before. This is especially possible in Nigeria's local flights when they cancel flights and try to merge the passengers in the 2 cancelled flights. It is not an issue for the flight attendants to sort out if there are empty seats in the aircraft but for a fully boarded aircraft it is an issue.

Sangoamadioha1:



The point is you can't pass the boarding gate without your seat available. You cannot get to the foot of the aircraft without your seat no. available and if there is any mix up it would be resolved before you can be allowed to the foot of the aircraft.

Whether you check in online or over the counter you will still have to go through the boarding gate.

Sangoamadioha1:

You actually believe this drivel. Na molue wey dem go turn you back for mouth of aircraft that there is no seat. At the boarding gate, her boarding pass would be checked as against her seat number before proceeding to the aircraft, so no issue of no seat for her.
According to her that means Peter Obi stood through out the flight which is impossible. Obidients must lie sha.

#FactCheck: According to a feedback given by the lady, she paid for Economy class which was already full but there were 2 empty seats in the business class where Obi was seated. Obi's offer of his seat will naturally make the airline officials give him one of the empty seats. Yes, it is possible for the airline to have a mix up and assign 2 persons to a seat especially if they re trying to merge passengers from 2 different flights. This is typical with Nigerian local flights. It is also possible to step up someone from Economic class to Business class usually at the discretion of the airline officials.

"Uchenna Idoko: They had 2 seats in Business class were Mr PO was seated but fully boarded in the economy session that I paid for."

NL Family, join me thank God for great things He has done for me. I give God praise for showing himself strong on my behalf. He has granted me my heart desires.
God granted my family and I our desired Canadian visas: Study Visa for me and my 2 children and a Visitor Visa for hubby.
What God cannot do does not exist.
I decided I was going to apply for Canadian Express entry in 2018 so I wrote IELTS in preparation but got diagnosed with Cancer towards the end of the same year. I spent better part of 2019 undergoing the treatment protocol.
I read via some blogs and listened to some vlogs that said Canadian Immigration approval is not usually given to people who have had my kind of challenge and have not stayed at least 5 years after treatment. The reason they gave is that Canada would not want to approve immigration requests for immigrants that will cause excessive demand on their health care service. Downcast, I stopped pursuing my immigration plan and resolved I could as well wait out the 5 years so my IELTS expired.
I was encouraged to try the student route in 2021 but I honestly didn’t know I will be required to do medicals. I thought with the Student Visa, I will pay my medical out of pocket which I was ready to do. It turned out God wanted to show me that He was and is still all powerful and will do what He wants to do.
I started looking for schools in Canada around July 2021 but saw their application openings for most schools I checked were already for Fall 2022 but I wanted to relocate in January,2022 so I went ahead to get admission from 2 US schools. By December 2021, I concluded I couldn’t travel to US in January 2022 with my family at such a short time especially as we were struggling to get appropriate interview dates in December,2021. At this point, I decided to defer the admission in US and apply to Canadian Schools for Fall 2022 starts, apply for Canadian visas with my family, if we don’t get visa approvals, we will request for expedited interview date for US and head there for Fall start. Through it all, I prayed earnestly trusting God to lead us to the best place that will not mess up His plans for my family especially my kids.
I applied in November, 2021 for a Masters, got admission in January, 2022. God sent me help all through.
We were advised by well-meaning friends and an immigration consultant that I should pursue my visa application first before including family but my spouse didn’t agree. According to him, everyone has a story. I applied for my student visa with my family in April,2022. I was 43 years old as at the time of the Application and have worked for more than 16 years.
It is important I point out the following:
1. I had not taken COVID Vaccine as at when I applied for visa and had my medical exams
2. I had an active express entry profile
3. My BP was quite high on the morning of my medical review but the Panel Physician assured me there was nothing to worry about.
4. I completed my breast cancer treatment in 2019 (less than 5 years ago). I went with
my medical report when I went for the Medical Exams. The Panel Physician carefully explained to me that even though he was going to scan the medical report I came with that there was nothing to be concerned about.
5. I didn’t pay any school fees before I applied for visa because my school sent me an email that I didn’t need a deposit to secure the space. I just included this email correspondence in my application and showed through my POF that I had enough fund to cater for me and family.
6. All my siblings except only one live in either USA or Canada and are citizens of these countries including my mum. However, being a married lady, I never mentioned them in my SOP. I only put their names in one the forms I filled during the application. I built my home ties more on me and spouse’s assets and jobs in Nigeria.
7. I never sent a single email or webform before I got my approval and spouse’s approval
8. I begun sending desperate emails and webforms after my spouse and I got approvals and my 2 children’s approval didn’t come even after 12 weeks of submission. It turned out we missed including their birth certificates in their applications. IRCC sent us email to upload them via the portal
I noted the above because Nos 1 to 5 were some of my worry points before I received my approval.
I am writing hoping someone will find hope and relax and trust God to confirm His promises.

Thank you everyone for all your contributions on this thread. Even though I joined this thread in May 2022 long after I submitted our Applications but I have learnt so much from here especially as I waited out my children’s visa approval.
God bless you all.
Thank you Jesus my Lord! You did again!

Hello bucceryor, pls take it easy. I really understand how you must be feeling now. Try and get another adult to cross check the details you are using to retrieve. I do not know how the "retrieve my application option" from my agent" works though so you may want to google that to be sure you have enough information from the Agent to be able to use this option.

bucceryor:
I'm pained, downcast and highly disappointed in fellow Nigerians. I tried the "retrieve my application option" from my agent , but I was met with a brick wall. She didn't submit any application as it were. And to think we have been on it for more than a year is equally annoying. I already differed the admission once, I'm supposed to pay tuition deposit on or before August 27th and this. I would have handled it myself if I had known how. I paid an outrageous amount for her non-existent service. I even went for biometrics and upfront medical ( I had a severe ulcer attack on that day, that could have lead to a life threatening situation). She dashed my hope just like that, I'm sobbing badly and there's no one to console me as my husband is not around. Why would you do such to another person? The answer can't be greed, but pure witchcraft. Up till yesterday evening, she kept maintaining that all that is left is a response from IRCC on decision. My sponsor will never take me seriously again. It's indeed a very wicked world and the wait of more that a year has ended in sad tears for me

Every Morning especially on Monday at 9am, check Qlife website to see if you can see available slots. Someone posted this suggestion here and I tried it and it worked for me. When you check, get your debit card ready so that you can book once you see a date.

Heeeellppppppppp
Hi guys please I just got request for medicals
Lost hope and didn’t expect this after countless webforms
2nd time applicant

No space to book an appointment
What do I do now

No, you wont pay any fee for travelling with cash. However, you are expected to declare it if you are travelling into canada with more than 10,000CAD
You can also get some funds funds to travel via Student upkeep from CBN via your bank but it takes time to process

AmiDelight:
Good day Everyone

Please how can I get some funds to travel with except through PTA
2. Is it ok to travel with Canadian dollars, if I declare I’m traveling with funds to the Immigration officers, am I to pay a fee for traveling with cash?

Thank you

Thank you for this offer. Pls how can I reach you like phone no or email?

amr12:
As a way of giving back to this thread, This is just to inform anyone coming to Fredericton, New Brunswick in the fall of 2022. I will be available to provide a free pickup at the airport to your destination, provided you inform me ahead of time.

We were worried because we had secured admission then and had paid tution deposit. We immediately contacted one of our very own here, the special one, the great Makanooooooooo (settler of difficult casesss.....lol). Makanoooooooooo was a God sent. He calmed us down, and assured us that if we explain convincingly in our SOP why she is going for another diploma. Then it just might fly!

Makanooooooooooo also reviewed our SOP, gave us all information we needed. At a time i thought i was bothering him too much, but he always replied my messages. Makaooooooooooooo i want to say thank you and God blessss you!!!

Wow
Congratulations my sister
This one is a huge testimony...journey through patience

Very Long Post Alert!!

I got admission December 2020 for Fall 2021 in University of New Brunswick but could not apply immediately because I was due to give birth in January 2021. I planned to submit my application in March but thanks to our immigration service, it took over 3 months before I could get passport for my baby despite paying through my nose for expedited processing. I ended up submitting our application on the 9th of June 2021 due to this delay. I was advised to put in mine while waiting for the passport but going without my children was not an option. We applied as a family, Myself, husband and 3 children. My husband applied for SOWP and visiting visa for my children because they're not up to school age.

Aside from the wahala of having to convince the VO and the fact that we are close to our mid 40s, two things stood against us. We had applied to visit Canada in 2019, but were denied, reason given was that we will not come back and false information in my husband's application, he didn't disclose his denial for US visa. We had applied for US visa a month earlier but the consular officer decided to give myself and my son but refused my husband. When we asked for the reason, she said she had none but was making a split decision. It was an oversight on my part because I filled our forms, I did mine first and just edited same form for my Husband and son. I forgot to change that part.
The second issue was my husband had a health condition and no information on how it was handled by IRCC. He didn't want to apply with us because he was scared he would ruin our chances but it was a no no for me. How will I manage with 3 small boys while studying.
We decided to use agents to help with our application but when I heard the price, I ran away quickly, not in this Buhari's economy.

I used same SoP I used to get my admission because I had no time to start afresh, I just edited it and in addition explained why I was doing a second masters (I have an MBA, same with my husband), how it would be beneficial in Nigeria and course not available in my country. I also addressed the issue of the denial in 2019 stating we never planned to break any visa rule and pointed them to our travel history to show that we have never overstayed in the countries we have visited. I also had to explain the false information in my husband's SoP stating it was an oversight. Reason given for going with my children is that they were too young to be left behind and I need my husband to take care of them. He runs his business and will take time off to support me in my career advancement. Reason given for him applying for work permit is that he wants work part time to gain experience that he would apply to his business back home and also support his family while in Canada.

Application was submitted 9th of June and the wait started, UNB gave us ultimatum of 13th of September to get our study permit or defer. We would not be allowed to even start online without it. I had no choice but to defer to September 2022. I wrote to IRCC but got generic responses. I got Nairobi email address from this forum and sent several mails. At some point, they stopped responding. I decided to fast and pray first week in February, a friend gave me Abuja email address, I sent a mail to them on the 7th and got a response on the 9th to go for medicals. I was so excited that finally, we have made progress. My husband and I did ours first. We had to disclose his condition and he was asked to go for further test, the tension of waiting was not easy especially on his part, mine was updated on the 19th while his was updated on the 22nd. We finally crossed that hurdle. Then our kids were asked to go for theirs a month later. Theirs was updated on the 23rd of March. I was asked to submit an updated application letter from the school and I also had to send a new passport because of the expiry date on the one I submitted. My hope was that within a month we should be done with this whole process. Then another wait started. I started writing to IRCC every other week from April but they didn't respond to any of my mails. I saw a format on nairaland 3 weeks ago to use to send email reminders but still no response. I decided to chill until the one year anniversary of our submission. At this point I was tensed because so many things were hanging, cost of ticket was rising, I needed to give enough notice to my boss to get my replacement before leaving. I entered another fasting and prayer last week, I had no other option. On the 10th of June, that's last Friday, someone posted the email address of different Visa Offices. I started sending mails to all of them. I also sent message to IRCC's twitter account and was about to send to London VO when I saw 7 donotreply emails. I first of all panicked and was afraid to open the mail. It was like a miracle, finally after one year of waiting, this came through. I also pray for those waiting patiently to get yours quickly in Jesus name, Amen!

No. You mum will not need to do medical for visitor visa

Fardowsa:
hello! my
mom and i applied for my visa together, she's going with a visitor visa because she's escorting me to school. i had an upfront medical exam, my question is; is my mom supposed to do medicals as well?

thank you

After we submitted, it was as if they were all being treated together. My spouse and I got biometric request the same day. On the day they sent PPR for my spouse's visitor visa, they sent medical request for my children and I. The children medical was updated to passed after 10 days and mine after 17 days. After about 29 days later, I received PPR. Am now waiting for my children's PPR. God thank you I know this too will pass.

Georgegreen86:

That do it like prescription got me ...hahaha

amila20042001:
Wait no further. Raise webform and send them emotional emails. Do it like a prescription : morning, afternoon and night

Their dad stated that in his sponsorship letter. He was also part of the application even though his was a visitor visa and his was approved first more than 1 month before mine was approved. I am the principal applicant.

Iffylove:
Send a letter of consent which is to be written by their dad through mail and webform to IRCC. Your spouse should state that he is fully aware and give his consent for them to travel with you. Attach a copy of his international passport.

Hello NL Family, who has experience with family application. Please did you get PPR almost the same time as every other family member. I applied with my children, I have received my PPR since last week but my children's PPR have not come. IRCC sent medical request to them and it has been updated to passed for more than 1 month even before mine was updated. Do you think I should send an email or webform?

Congratulations!

Good day, Everyone.

I am here to share my testimony so as to encourage others not to give up. I also read the success stories of others and learnt a lot and I am very excited to share mine with you all.

First Application - June 18, 2021
Refusal - Sept 21, 2021
Application for gcms notes - Sept 21,2021
Gcms notes received - Oct 27, 2021


Second Application - April 13, 2022
PPR - June 1, 2022

What did I do differently?
The refusal was based on two grounds - Purpose of my visit and Personal assets and financial status.
From the gcms notes, the rationale for those reasons were pointed out.

The first time, I did it all by myself. The second time, I decided this time around I needed the guidance of an expert to give it my best shot as I re-apply and so I contacted @justmellow of gcmswriters. website :www.gcmswriters.com and IG/Twitter/Telegram: @GCMSWriters handle. He is in deed an expert and can tackle refusal cases. He was my guide all through the process and he also wrote the two powerful write ups I submitted - The LOE and SOP.

For my first reason of Purpose of visit, that was tackled through the wonderful compelling write ups. The VO made an error by concluding that my choice of program and previous study and employment history had no correlation. That was wrong. My program was perfectly in line with my employment history and that was spelt out clearly in the LOE submitted.


For the second reason that has to do with financial status and personal assets, a lot of work had to be done here on this serious issue for about 6 months. That was from October 2021 till April 2022, I tell you, a whole lot of work really had to be done to build my financial status so that a better financial representation can submitted this time around. My bank accounts had to run for 6 months, from October all the way to April to give a better outcome. More assets and investments had to be put into the application. Investments, business and employment documents and so on were put in plus the outstanding letter of re-consideration that was very mind blowing and technical.

This time around, I applied as Self sponsored and did not use "third party sponsor" as I did in the first application.

I tackled every point written by the VO in my gcms notes and left no stone unturned with the help of the exceptional guide who helped me all the way.
When it was time to submit, he went through the final compilation and vetted, certified it good to go and I submitted it myself via my GCkey account.

To cut the long story short, I got the wonderful news on June 1, 2022. I am so excited. I am very happy I didn't give up and decided to re-fire. The truth is - I was very discouraged and almost gave up but I am happy I gave a shot and a better one at that the second time.

I give God the glory for making this a reality. And I want to encourage you all not to give up. Many got theirs on the 2nd and 3rd attempts. Just apply for your gcms notes to get a clearer picture and the exact red flags pointed out and give it another shot. Don't give up, just believe God, put in your best, get all the professional guidance you can get and it will come out successful. Wishing you all the very best.
Glory to God!!!
