marcelonwa:
@oyibo4real good morning
Pls I remember vividly when u requested and got your GCMS notes, although I didn’t know the outcome,

I presume u wrote an LOE to address whatever issues raised in the notes right ?

I have similar experience rn
I have addressed and sent it over to London and Nairobi,
I don’t really know if the changes will
Be effected ASAP,
What else did you do after your own notes came in
Yea, I addressed the issues of concern in LOE and sent immediately, i later wanted to include docs/pictures as proofs but changed my mind as those things were properly explained in my SOP.

PS: I asked them to go through my SOP again.

I wish you the BEST!

Kayyyy:
That’s 100 percent true. I asked 3 different questions on the “living in Canada” thread, only 1 was answered. Don’t even know who to ask again.
I’m even thinking of moving my flight ticket till I’m fully sure that I’m set to go.
I've had same experience too, they hardly reply one's enquiry. On the other hand, I think they give more attention to those that are already in Canada undecided

This is not enough reason for you to move your flight, everything will eventually fall into place, dont worry too much.

Meanwhile anyone travelling on 12th May landing in Toronto, let's hook up as travel buddies male/female is welcomed.

God's Grace to Everyone here kiss

'Confirmed' is a very strong word.

'Very likely' or 'Probable' seems more suitable.
You're right though. Not confirmed yet, time will tell.

@oyibo4real please quote the emails you sent mails too
MsJanez01:
Goodmorning my favorite people. After sending mails upon mails I finally got a valid mail with a direction. I was asked to contact Nigeria office for my application as they are my primary office.
First off, I had thought all primary office was Kenya, hence my mails and webforms have been going to them. Secondly, please I need help with Nigeria offices email addresses. They need to know me
@Frankrobbn1 @oyibo4real thanks a lot, God bless you.
Yoshy:
Congratulations! Can you share these email addresses here?

Thanks!
I'm so sorry, I couldnt save the link(only screenshots) but it was shared on this thread. Lekiboboe please come to our rescue as I've been replying NL mails since the past 2 hours.

OBSERVATION: Based on the MAILS I received from IRCC yesterday, and one shared by one us here, it's possible that NIGERIA now processes our APPLICATION, and I think this is goodnews. I believe this will shorten/lessen the processing time, am loving this!

Wishing everyone the BEST!

Frankrobbn1:
Congratulations on the approval of your dependent application. Please be advised that its normal for your son's approval letter to be sent via email correspondence and not through the regular CIC account. This is as a result of the initial request from IRCC to cancel the visitor's application and reapply for study visa for him. In view of this, you've absolutely nothing to worry about.


It will end in praise
Thank you so much Frank, you are part of my success story. I can only keep praying for God to bless you more and grant your heart desires in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Anon123:
Congratulations.

You can reply the mail by letting them know it has not reflected on your visa portal. Thank them first and then let them know..
Thank you all for your good wishes kiss . I've actually received 2 more PPR email from different IRCC official email addresses including lagos, I guess this is their new normal for accompanying child.

It's making sense now cos it was initially visit visa application which was later changed to study visa app as instructed by IRCC. The PPR email came with a different application number that starts with S, which is automatically study/student visa. Thus, I want to assume it's the initial visit visa application that was cancelled.

PS: I never really wanted to share this to avoid abuse, but trust me, sending mails worked for me (I did it in my own and got my PPR after 4 days, I decided to try again last night for my child and his own arrived today).I sent the same email to almost 50 IRCC official email addresses and got encouraging responses from about 5 of them.


More PPR NEWS will soon flood this thread in JESUS MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!!! GOD DID IT.
Travel › Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 18 by oyibo4real:
I'm here again oo, I just received my Child's PPR message
few minutes ago, but surprisingly it came as an email from one of Nairobi's email addresses, with the attached PPR letter, I dont know what to make of this shocked.

I didnt get any of those no-reply-cic messages from IRCC. What to dohuh

Edited: And I just checked my GC account to see application cancelled, could this be a system glitch or what? This is confusing really.

Anyways, it's a PPR News, ALL GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY, IT SHALL SURELY END IN PRAISE FOR US ALL.

Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader.
I just got my ppr today.
My application was a very funny one, I submitted in January this year and I had no request letter neither did my eligibility review change until I got my passport request today. I was worried and had so much anxiety everytime that I had to stop coming on here because it felt overwhelming for me.
My timeline goes like this:
Submitted - January 27th
Confirmation- January 28th
Biometrics- January 28th
Upfront medicals- March 9th
Medicals updated to pass- March 15th
Bvl and passport request - April 27th
Ps : Today makes it exactly 3 months I submitted my application.
To everyone still hoping for a good news and waiting for ppr I pray you receive your miracle.
Shout out to Ircc cause they have thought me patience on this experience.
Wow! CONGRATULATIONS!!! We need more of this good news, oluwa rain PPR upon Thy children, Amen!!!

The embassy randomly cancels appointments,it was done last month or so! Probably some issue with their website! Don’t know!

Call or message them through the website! Explain that she traveled from another state to Abuja! She might get lucky with a new ‘emergency appointment’

Usually, at her interview tomorrow,she will be told her name is not on the list and given some kind of card to call the number on it!

So get to calling and emailing!

Wow! This is strange, they usually send mail when such happens, and I didnt call nor send email today. It's well oo, may it end in praise for us in Jesus name, Amen!

Thank you so much.

Please guys I need help oo, I dont understand what just happened. My mum's interview date was booked for 22nd April(tomorrow) since early January and I just logged into the website out of curiosity for re-confirmation only to see "cancelled" under status and it was also written that there's no current appointment.

What could have happened? I dont want to believe this is the handiwork of these agents, like seriously? And my mum travelled yesterday all the way from Lagos to Abuja for this interview only for me to see this  .

Am going crazy right now honestly, where do I go from here? I can't even tell her this cos the interview is for my brother's wedding coming up on July and the earliest date is 2022.

Please what do I do? She has the appointment confirmation page with her and I intend for her to still go ahead tomorrow. I need HELP please

Hello Oyibo4real, personally, I think you should do what works best for you and your family. Thank you for this suggestion, I will include it in my plans.

The cost of living here is very high. If you can return to Naija or work from home and wait till classes resume, then it's a better option. This place is too lonely.
