Thank you so much for the response, yes I the application number, so while creating the new profile will it be linked to the former one?
Teemenzo:
Do you have you UCI number and application number? If yes, you can open another gckey or the new portal to start your application.

For the deferral, you have to apply for the deferral yourself. Goodluck

Good evening all,

Please my agent as being an ass and I will like the house to direct me on what to do next.

I started my application with one agent Mr Emmanuel (Swif Travel) in January 2021, got admission to the university of Manitoba and then we proceeded to apply for the study visa, he was so careless as not to have given me proper guidance on documents to provide, was only interested in me paying his service charge and then got a sponsors letter and bank statement (according to him, because I did not see this document as he wouldn't give me my login details). After submitting my application I got a letter for biometrics which I did in Lagos, two months later I was denied visa based on purpose of visit and financial status.

Well, I had already started so I just decided to see to the end, I paid for a reapplication and this time I provided my own POF and all other document necessary for a successful reapplication and sent to him. After over one month he still hadn't reapplied, this got me really tense as I was getting closer to the last intake for my admission (may 2022). Each time I send him a message he replies that I should be patient. Patient just to upload documents I had already provided, at some point he said he had done it, asked he sends a screenshot of my portal so I can verify and he kept given excuses, at this point I knew something was off and told him off and to stop with the application, and since he wouldn't give me my login details I will create another profile and start the process myself.

So basically what I want the house to advise is basically:
1. Is it possible to start a new application?
2. He said he will revoke the former application, will that cause any problems for me with this new application I'm doing myself?
3. Is it true that my admission will automatically be deferred to September intake(according to him)?

Pls how much did u show as POF(living expenses)

Landing gist:
Hi guys. I finally landed in Canada. I’m sharing this because reading other people’s landing gist made mine a lot easier.

So my flight was Air France from Lagos to Paris to Toronto.
Lagos:
Got to the airport quite early past 2pm, didn’t want any stories, my flight was for 11:30pm but the check-in began at 5. Already weight by bags at home, but upon getting to the airport, one guy directed me to a faulty scale, of which I may have paid extra luggage if I didn’t know the weights of my bags . I cleared the bag with the Agricultural section. Paid N2k cos I only had one bag with food items, and received a certificate from them. This cert. didn’t turn out useful in any way.
When boarding I showed my Covid text, ArriveCAN receipt, visa, and admission letter.

Paris.
Flight was delayed till past 12 midnight. In flight meal wasn’t so great. Landed in Paris at 6:30 Nigerian time. Just presented my Covid test, passport and admission letter to the immigration officer in Paris. Had an 8 hours layover and began my next trip at 2:30 pm Nigerian time.

Toronto:
Again, Inflight meal wasn’t so great, plus it seemed like they were hoarding the drinks. So I just had the few snacks I bought earlier. Flight was 8 hours long and tiring. Watched a few movies though.

Upon getting to Canada. You are directed to go to a self-help machine where you scan your passport, give sum info about your stay and duration. And take a photo image of yourself
Then you proceed to the immigration officer who asks for your Covid test and admission letter, this will determine if you will be quarantined or not. I already got double vaccinated, I filled out this info on the arrive-can app, hence I didn’t have to quarantine.
I proceeded next to the next officer where I’m supposed to get my work permit. This is where I spent a bit of time. Obviously, the guy may have had a beef for Nigerians before now, cos immediately I got there I had my passport and the slip generated from the self service machine on his counter, he then requested I gave him my passport and a white paper. Because I wasn’t clear on what paper he wanted exactly, I asked again and he got irritated. He sha went ahead to ask for my acceptance letter, my enrolment letter, evidence of payment, and proof of fund(living expense)
I gave every other thing, but didn’t have my bank statement printed out. I offered to show him my bank balance on my phone, and next thing the guy flared up. He said if I were in Lagos or Abuja, will I show the officials document on my phone, why would I then do it here.... He went on and on about a lot of things, about me giving him attitude and all that. Me that was exhausted from the whole trip.

I apologise and said I was a bit anxious, which he might perceive as me giving him attitude. He eventually saw my bank balance on the phone, converted to CAD, had no other excuse and reluctantly went to print the work permit.

But again before that, he was emphasising how I should not work more than 20 hours and even had to call a colleague to ask why this was not indicated on the letter he was to give me. The college said it didn’t matter. The guy has no choice than to print my letter and stamp my passport.

When he finished I asked where he came from, apparently, the guy is from Benin Republic. He definitely has some beef for nigeria. He mentioned he had been to Lagos and Abuja a couple of times.

To tell you how beefed he was, he had to run after me to give back the slip from the self-service machine, which I needed to hand over upon exit from the airport.

Meanwhile my seat mate on the flight who is also a student had finished and kept calling, but I could not even return his call nor text him, hence he had to leave almost 30 minutes before me.

Hope you find this piece useful.
Thanks guys.
