Djdimeji:
Hello house,
Please can someone advise me on the upfront medicals please.
I'm a prospective student for Canada and going by the time already, applying for the NSE is my best bet, and for this I would need an upfront medical.
So my question,
1. In order to do this upfront medicals must I have commenced any form of the visa process or I can just go ahead with first getting the medicals done in preparation for the visa application.
2. How much does it costs. Particularly for ikeja, Lagos.
3. How long does it take to get the results ready for the visa process.

NB: I'm for the winter intake 2023 and don't want it to pass or be deferred due to processing time, reason why I'm gathering info on what it's going to take to be eligible for the NSE which includes ielts, police clearance and biometrics.

So given all these can anyone just kindly advice on how to adequately time and arrange myself in order to be able to meet up.
Thank you!

1. It’s not compulsory to have commenced your application before upfront medicals.

2. The cost in IOM should be #46,500 for one adult and the cost for kids differ.

3. The result should be ready at the shortest possible time, but on that same day of the medicals, an e-Medical sheet would be given to you to include in your application.

Goodluck

It will end in praise.

For those that couldn’t find the biometric letter nko ? … I did my first biometric in 2014 and I can’t find it again . Since 2014 I just reapplied this year

I don’t really know, but maybe you can go back to where you did your biometrics for a reprint.

Gilb231:
Thank you! You will celebrate soon too.

Thank you very much... though I’ve had my application approved about 2 weeks ago. But celebration no dey finish as miracle no dey tire God.

Nerd95:
Have you applied for GCMS notes? If yes, the notes help you to see the progress of your application and could trigger the revisiting of your file. The later point is not always true but it is debatable...it sometimes work. I noticed a pattern: there are about 30days between when my friend received his notes and when he received a final decision last year. Same apply to me too this year.

I think you’re right, I ordered for my notes, 9 days later I got a decision. Not sure if that influenced the speed at which they reached a decision though.

Isjaymoh:
Good afternoon beautiful people.

I need your assistance on this issue. My wife is interested in applying for studies via in Canada but we need someone to assist us in to procedure. Like how much is their college tuition fee, when is the best time to apply because she plan to travel next year.

Thanks

The tuition fee is dependent on program and program length. You can go on google to check universities/colleges/polytechnics that offer her choice of program.

You’ll also consider their refund and deferral policy, and if the institution is a DLI and if eligible for PGWP.

Tessyugbajah:
Please do you have to submit at the same place you did your biometric, because I did mine in lagos, but I want to submit in abuja, is it okay ?

Yes it is okay but I think you will have to pay transmission fee of about 9k+ or there about.

henrymazi:
When did you submit your passport? And to which VFS office? Lagos or Abuja? Mine was sent from Lagos to Abuja last week Wednesday and in Friday it was in transit to IRCC Abuja. Today I tracked and it's still in transit to IRCC office Abuja


Yes my passport has been returned to me on Friday. I submitted it last Friday. And I think Abuja is now processing stamping.

I submitted to Abuja office on the 14th and got it back on 21st.

Thomsyne:
Hello Chief,

I noticed you said your PPR came in the evening. Is your passport returned to you yet?
I’ve been seeing counterfoils with Abuja not Nairobi recently. Maybe Abuja is now processing applications.

Yes my passport has been returned to me on Friday. I submitted it last Friday. And I think Abuja is now processing stamping.

Benquip:
I don't think there's a WhatsApp that I'm aware of

Okay then. Please can we have one?

Cheebu:
Good day everyone.. Been following this thread for a while. I'm just so happy that I got my PPR today after initial rejection.

Second application: 28th June
Upfront medicals: 26th July
Medicals passed: 23rd Sept
Eligibility review: 28th Sept
PPR: 21st Oct.

I must add that I had to write the MP yesterday & I got a decision today. I'm not saying he played a role but who knows? Lol

Reason for initial rejection was insufficient funds & reasons given not consistent with that of a temporary stay. I got a gift deed of N10m & tried to convince the VO in my SOP why I chose the particular course of study because it wasn't related to my current practice.

In all, I give God the glory. Those of us who are still waiting will receive good news very soon. Amen.

Don't forget to pray guys.

Congratulations

Benquip:
I'm in DC

Great... is there a WhatsApp group for Nigerians? Because the one I’m in currently it’s only Indians that are there.

My God, finally PPR has dropped, March Applicant.

Timeline:
Applied: March 9th
Biometrics: March 14th
Upfront Medicals: April 5th

June 14th: applied for GCMS Notes

........................... The long wait.
Sent mails to IRCC and MPs. All MPs said they couldn't help because I am not living in Canada.

Sent mails to IRCC requesting that my application be expedited, Nairobi office nor send my mail lol. Abuja sha replied and gave me a special link to raise a webform. I raised webforms tire, still no reply from IRCC.
Raised webforms, got generic responses.

September 1st: I requested for my school to send me a letter stating that I need to resume before September 18th, and that I am a funded research student. Letter arrived that same day.

September 19th: Admission was deferred to January start.

The wait was affecting me mentally. Had to take my mind off it to focus on my live.

September 28th: GCMS notes arrived. Says "Recommend Interview".

October 6th: Sent my new admission letter to IRCC stating that my admission has been deferred.

October 17th: woke up with an holy anger and send mails to IRCC requesting that my application be expedited because I think I have been unfairly treated by having to wait for 7months for a visa whereas others are getting theirs in 3 months.

TODAY OCTOBER 20TH: PPR & BVL Dropped.

Admission letter
SOP
Funding letter.
My bank statement and that of my brother.

It’s the Holy anger for me.

Ayobeezy:
Congratulations to you
I got rejected on the 13/10/2022 for the same reason. Can you please assist in how your reapplied and did your POF with letter of explanation.
Thanks

Thank you.

First of all, I ordered for GCMS note. I initially only paid tuition deposit of 6k CAD out of 16k, so when the refusal letter came in, I paid the tuition balance making it 16k CAD total before re applying.

When the GCMS note came, the VO’s concern was that a lump sum was deposited in my account but explained, but that the existence of my bro’s company who did deed gift to me was not verifiable. So I tackled that as well by showing evidence of his work and invoices.

Personal assets: I also emphasized that I have a job to come back to with promotion which was in the first application. I submitted the same documents I used during the first application. I’m self sponsored

Goodluck in your next application

It will end in praise

onyekachee:
Just got a refusal this morning..I feel really sad….what do I do now?

So sorry, this is just a delay. Just like someone said, request for your GCMS note, tackle the VO’s convern/s and refire.

It will end in praise.

Silas12345:
yes they always reply with this automated mails

You’ll get your PPR soonest.

Silas12345:
what I noticed is that all the note I ordered nothing changed it all same info until I stopped it as at July, reason for refusal for the first application is home ties and financial stuff and I’ve tackled it in the second application that taking forever now. Stress and blood is not easy I went to Lagos for the first upfront medical and after a year in my gckey I noticed that the medical passed is not there again and I was told that the medical has expired so I was advised to do another upfront that one I did it in Abuja and I stay in ogbomoso oyo state see how far I am and all this stuff is not even encouraging, it’s SAD.

This is sickening, I feel your pain bro. Have you been sending emails and webforms too? Did you contact any MP?

It will end in praise

deebee13:
Hello house,
With the picture attached below, is my application moving please?
I don't really know how to interpret it all.
Thank you

Shows that your application is still in progress and a final decision hasn’t been reached.

chuksinfotech:
Please how do you people jubilate when you get your PPR?

I am fasting, weak and dumbfounded to even shout and be happy. Brethren, Indeed God's time is the best.

It is finally here

Wow!!! Big congratulations to you.

oyefhunke:
Thanks ....pls how do I book an appointment or go about

Check their website on google, you can also get their number and call them for assistance.

Silas12345:
My visa application was submitted online to IRCC on June 17 2021, did Biometrics Completed and upfront Medical Examination, one expired after a year and I did another one and is passed since august 2022. And since then I have not received any further progress on my application status and there is still no update being made. IRCC is playing with my mental health, A whole fucking 16 months is not fair at all. And the worst is that I’m a second time applicant.

WTF... second time applicant? What was the reason for first refusal?

Have you ordered for GCMS note? If you haven’t please do.

It will end in praise.
