TheShaman:
Hello All,
I have been a silent reader of this thread for months now; reading and learning from everyone here. It would be amiss if I don’t share my timeline with the house now that the journey has come to fruition:

First Application Timeline
Application: Sept 1, 2020
Refusal: Sept 15, 2020
Biometrics: Sept 16, 2020
Refusal Reason: Purpose of Visit and Personal Finances/Assets

After the refusal, I decided against ordering my GCMS notes because I felt that I could recognize where I made mistakes and where I could improve upon them. I read GCMS notes of profiles similar to mine and learned from there and proceeded to craft my next application within 15 days. I also chose to continue with my online studies as I had already started on Sept 8th, 2020.

Second Application Timeline
Application Date: Oct 1, 2020
NSE Request: Nov 18, 2020
NSE Requirements Submission: Dec 15, 2020
Medical Request (MER): Dec 15, 2020
Medicals: Dec 29, 2020, at IOM Ikeja
MER Passed: Jan 3, 2021
BVL and PPR: Jan 5, 2021 (Final Decision updated to Approved also)

For the NSE, I felt I would not adequately prepare for the IELTS to the best of my ability and chose to only submit the myBankcertificate instead. I planned to write the IELTS Exams in January 2021 and send the results via webform. I only submitted the myBank certificates just as @Popoolam did.

Application Documents:
1. All IMM Forms
2. Conditional LOA and subsequent confirmation mails by the school that I had met the requirements.
3. Letter of Explanation for my application detailing all I had done to address the refusal reasons from the previous application.
4. SOP of 7 Pages with different subheadings. My SOP had a well-detailed study plan showing how my BSc in Geology and work experience had prepared me for the course and Its potential benefits to me personally and Nigeria. I devoted other sections to why I chose the school, the city, and the province, and finally Canada. A section was devoted to Home ties which were majorly social and family ties and a section was devoted to explaining my study gap (I graduated in 2017).
5. All Academic Credentials (BSc Certificate and Transcript, WAEC Result, and a certification from the Technical University of Denmark relating to my proposed MSc course).
6. NYSC Discharge Certificate
7. Internship Contract and Full-Time Employment Contract for my current place of employment
8. Confirmation of Employment Letter from the office.
9. Birth Certificates of my mother and brother
10. Police Character Certificate
11. Resume/CV with a section devoted to my academic publications.
12. Letter of Support from my Research Supervisor to the Graduate Admissions Committee of the University recommending my admission (this also included a paragraph stating how my current job has prepared me for the course).
13. Family tree showing the relationship between my sponsor and I (he is the younger brother of my mother) along with family photos with both of us.
14. Evidence of financial support from my sponsor over the last 7 years (all bank credit alerts via email).
15. Pension Statement, Enrollment Letter and a funding letter I received mid-semester were submitted via web forms after I had submitted my application.

Financials
1. Letter of Financial Support from my Sponsor (my uncle) with 3 pages detailing why he was supporting my education.
2. Affidavit of Sponsorship
3. Data page of his passport
4. Tuition Payment Receipt from the school and Western Union ($3556 CAD)
5. Two Personal SOA with 4M and 6M as their balance, and one SOA of a company account (along with a bank reference/sole signatory letter) with a balance of 25M (all from my sponsor, I did not submit my own SOA or any payslip).
6. Company Documents (CAC Certificates and TCC).

NSE Documents:
1. Two myBank certificates of two company accounts
2. Bank Reference Letters for the two accounts.
3. Company Documents
4. Contract Award Letters from 2019 and 2020

Personal Profile: Male, 24 years this year, a graduate of Geology (4.0/5.00 GPA from the University of Benin).

I encourage everyone to do as much research as they can and read the previous threads as every information I used for my second application was found here. Please also pray and have faith. I sent only one of the NSE requirements while I saw others dash to write the IELTS exams with the faith that it would work out for my good. I thank all the gurus in the house for their wise words – I learned from every post on this thread and previous ones.

As the common saying here goes, delay is not denial. I wish you all the best.

Wow wow wow...congratulations

Get ready

adeenzo:
Please just a piece of friendly advice to all PPR expectant with January resumption date; please don't be discouraged, IRCC can still answer you within January, that being said please make sure you know about your school term deferment and fees refund regulations, the last thing that you want is to start your classes online and be denied, making a refund for your fees might be possible but a certain percentage will surely go, but deferment won't be possible again.

I already deferred to September 2021 with assurance from the school that if I get reply before then I can join anytime...if January started already I can join May...

@deepwater you are very very very wrong in every way.You could have read the genesis of the questions that was asked by Lentomac and why he asked it.?.From the landing gist people were posting he saw people mentioned that they filled "yellow card" which also signifies the departure card everybody knows you don't need the supposed "Yellow card" you uploaded for traveling to Canada yet you kept confusing people with your pride because you don't want to accept your mistake @Chocs tried explaining what she was talking about but you Kept talking and adding unnecessary stuffz that we don't even care about keep your profiles to yourself there are people who has achieved far way better than you do but they don't come here to brag about it
@Chocs has been very helpful on this thread helping people with their questions even out of her busy schedules right from day one and I respect her for that and respect her maturity as well.Even from your previous post on other platforms actually shows the kind of person that you are!!!.
So all those your diversifying post on this issue is not needed at all and very shallow.

Infact ehn...���

Chocs:
Lol! You are very funny @deepwater

You shouldn’t be talking of IELTS because you’re clearly in the wrong!!!! The person asked on a forum for Canadian study permit. He was also clearly referring to those who travelled to Canada recently.

Please don’t come here to confuse people abeg. Maybe you should read properly before commenting next time and don’t be quick to label things false/negative.

Cheers

Infact I don't understand the guy...the card he uploaded wasn't needed at all..it will even confuse people the more...the right thing was to put things straight and not cause more confusion..and he is here shouting IELTS and emirates holder..this isnt his first time of showing his over sabi...

deepwater:
Sometime I wonder how people take they pass IELTS
Please show me where i said it is for canada.

Ignorance is bliss indeed!

oga keep shut and ex the matter, saying all this things doesn't make u Mr Know all. Moreover you don't know who you're talking to...normally sef, I wont type anything.. I was only referring to the card the guy uploaded previously as the bone of contention and not the one u uploaded.. you should have just passed your message instead of this IELTS thrash you typed here..I pray you find peace..

deepwater:
The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is known as Yellow card.

Nooooo.. this is not for Canada oo...the first yellow card on the previous page is correct...

recxa:
Sigh has anyone had an update on the NSE stream? I submitted the requirements on the 16th of December with the deadline being the 30th and I haven't heard anything since then. My school resumes on January 11 and I'm gonna have to start online. PS. I've done Upfront medicals and biometrics.

Same here...we just have to be patient...did you get any acknowledgement email that hey have received your documents

Uriel12:
Good morning NL...
I have been waiting for my application status o revert back to submitted, seeing that the deadline has passed since 27th of December, yet it still has the [/b] “Your action is required” [b]

[/b]Am I the only one experiencing this?[b]

[/b]Please what can be done?[b]

Cause it's literally still on hold even after the deadline has passed.
Time is of the essence

My sister/ brother, The holidays n covid wahala has slowed things down...patience is required...

awys:
October 12th review started December 10th. No updates since then we are hoping for the Best

December 10, it's past 20 days already na...IRCC sef..speak to the universe that you want your response from ircc expedited...God will answer all our requests..amen!

Salientjoe:
Hi Philadelphia,

It's no doubt a faceless forum, but we should be mindful of how we respond to enquiries of people for orderliness and courtesy sake.

The manner at which you tagged the post a lie is dogmatic to say the least. Even if it was, no one really cares.

Unsurprisingly, your answer to the question was wrong. A new account could be linked with application so far he/she has the details like Application number and UCI number.

Thank you.

P.S
I urge the seniors on the platform to help ensure the quality of information dispensed here daily. I have noticed a few inaccuracies in answers recently.

I was confused too, when he said No...cos it's actually possible...

Good afternoon everyone..

Pls if the total tuition is 20k. And on LOA. An estimated amount for first year is 20k also, will one pay another 20k in the 2nd year since it's a 2yr course?

Like mine now. Total tuition is 33k, paid 6k, and on the LoA its written estimated fee for first year is 29k..will I be paying another fee in the 2nd year ni?
Pls throw more light...thanks

FINALLY MY LANDING GIST !!!

we departed lagos on Sunday 27th December 2020 with EGYPT AIR.

before my flight
so i woke up at about 3:10AM on sunday, bags packed then it dawned on me me that i was finally leaving Nigeria. i had mixed feelings at first as i was heading to a new country i kept refleting o the journey so far from when i joined this thread in March 2020 how helpful its been cause i didn't use any agent, the long wait with unertainties from IRCC VFS and the likes. when the day broke i was filled with joy as my sister kept hyping me, so went to church to praie and thank God for everything before Leaving for the Airport.

LAGOS AIRPORT
So i got to the airport at about 11AM thinking i would just walk in as i had cheked in online the previous day, but no o, na so them diret enter queue . the checked all necessary documents, it was intact, i didnt need to settle anybody a dime. i saw one beautiful babe but didn't know it was Dameelee since i wasn't sure she was the one so i sent her a message through Nairaland DM she idn't reply so i said nor be she.
naso plane come o, looking very very scary, wasn't sure if i shuld board but when you look nigeria, you nor go thing twice run enter plane.
ADVICE- Bring everything you need cause services at the airport is expensive (Biro N100, Photocopy N300, Mask N500, Withdraw Cash N500 for N3,000 etc)
so the plane left, and time for food naso them give us bread and bread and bread mixed with chicken and cheese, my pain with the food esp the bread i that they were all very cold. for me the food is ZERO, so after 5 hours we got to Egypt, went straight to the immigration section, then i realised i didn't travel with my Tuition Reciept but thank God it was nott noticed. Then i confirmed this beautiful lady i saw in Nigeria was Dameelee and we connected she was nice, we waited for 4hours and now it wa time to board Cairo to Toronto. the plane was so beautiful and sharp.

tho i never enter plane before but the flight was loooooooooooooooooooooooong

after about 12hours we got to Toronto, OMOOOOOOOOOR!!!! Na me be this? from Warri to Toronto? i wan happy die but base on who we be we just package like say na normal life for us but if you see my MIIIIIND!!! i don throw backy tire. was still looking out for Dameelee hoping she nor miss for air cause she also got window seat
Fist time i saw Snow Live through the window i just dey smile inside my mind but outwardly we package ourself

fast forward, we got to immigration and my tuition reciept became an issue, i was delayed for some minutes cause they had to verify if truely iwas a student of CONESTOGA COLLEGE, finally baba gave me my Study Permit. OMOOOOOOOOR!!! i saw angels rolling re carpet for me to enter, naso me and Dameelee dey call family telling them we don finally land and cross POE

The HON RALFUDOH contacted me to pick me at the airport, when i stepped out of the aiport, MY PEOPLE OOOOOO the cold wen slap me eh infact the cold when HIT me, two seonds i reverse enter airport again before person turn okporoko finally HON RALFUDOH CAME jamming Naija gbedu songs in his car, was so warm inside.. As we dey drive, naso i dey talk OMOOOOOOOR!!! na me dey canada llike this Na me dey see Snow like this.
HON RALFUDOH was so nice that the gave me served me RICE and Confirm Pepper Stew, the food enter wella for the cold.
story still dey o but make QUARANTINE FINISH FIRST before them find me come house.

i kept saying when i sleep and wake up and i am still here then i am in Canada as i wake up open window see snow dey fall then YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! i am in Canada

i want to sincerely thank everyone in this platform foryour constant help by dishing out valueable information as i did everything from scratch till i landed. GOD BLESS Y'ALL

special thanks to HON JEPHEPHE and HON RALFUDOH for helping me settle down without stress.

to everyone still in this journey, keep faith alive as 2021 is yours to conquer.

Trying to log in via GC KEY this morning(me wey talk say na once a week I go dey check ), everything works fine until I get to "Check Full Application Status". What I get is "Error Bad Gateway" after a minute of loading.

Akannitommy:
I sent email to the leasing companies and they sent me their offerings. I selected the better one for my purpose although slightly more expensive. For my quarantine and to save cost, I prefer a place I can cook my own food so I went with the option that offered private kitchen. I paid $1,015CAD for one month and signed a month lease. No compulsion to renew as I don't plan to. They requested for my details and a copy of my ID. I sent them a copy of passport data page. I filled and signed the form online on 23rd Dec and they countersigned also electronically. I had 24 hours to pay but was unable to do that from Nigeria. I informed them my brother based in the US will pay and he did. I sent them proof and they sent me access code to collect my key on arrival since I was arriving after work hours. I was also told I could pay on arrival (btw 11am and 3pm only) at the reception if I had no way to pay ahead.

Yes, you do your quaratine at first point of entry. One small caution, (IF POSSIBLE) I advise you come in through the same province where your DLI is located. After quarantine, you can relocate to a different place to safe costs etc. I have heard stories of students who got turned back at the POE because they entered through a different (and perhaps, unrealistic) POE compared to where there DLI is located. This was during conversation with a friend who also cam here as a student 5 years ago, so I can't verify how true but I have no reason to doubt him.

to buttress this I have a friend who travelled recently ..to another province and school is in another province...she just told them it's the available place to quarantine till school resumes.. and she was stamped

Thank God for respective good news. It shall go round by God's grace. Amen

JustMellow:
Hello OtunbaTee,

For many, it began almost immediately. At most, within 12 - 24 hrs.

Best of Luck

oh okay..thank you.they decided to acknowledge mine today since 15th I uploaded...

Pls for those that submitted the NSE documents..what date did IRCC start reviewing your additional documents?the day/date u submitted or there's no date there yet??

adekolagreat:
Someone pointed out that we were supposed to get a mail confirming that IRCC got the uploaded document for NSE. I have uploaded my bank statement and IELTS since Dec 3rd and I didn't get any email nor was the document being reviewed. So I raised a webform day before yesterday and I wasn't satisfied so I sent a mail using another of my email that was not used for applying for my permit. I got an automatic reply (something I don't get if I used my registered email).

Today I got a donotreply mail that they received my documents and my profile updated. If you are in similar situation you might want to try.

Hopefully the PPR drop soonest. It shall end in Praise.

I'm in your shoes too..but I didnt send them any email...but my profile looks exactly like yours..

Testimonies suppose dey flow in now..

It shall end in praise!

bisolaemilia:
How do you know you have a ghost update??

It will show application/profile updated and later disappear..in few days you'll now see an update..it happens anytime they update ur profile at the backend!

iampaulsmith:
It’s no longer active. There is a “Replacement overdue” showing there.
I just want to be able to keep tabs on ghost update since my eligibility review started for almost a month now and it’s hard doing that with “your action is required”

This IRCC sef

iampaulsmith:
Please is there anyone who got NSE but didn’t submit the document within the stipulated time? 3days after the NSE deadline, my current status is still showing “your action is required” and I was thinking the current status would return to “submitted/uploaded”. I want to know if I’m all alone in this

check that part where ure required to upload the documents if the date and upload button still active...

deommanuel:
Did you do upfront medicals boss?

Yes

Nothing has changed in mine except the medical exam update to pass..I dont know what they're waiting for sha!
