Good day everyone. Thanks for all y'all do
I have read many times people say getting admission is easy et all. But I applied once to Durham College but somehow my application was closed.

Now, I'll like to apply to a uni...I graduated with a 3.56. I have narrowed my search to sch such as uni of Manitoba, Ottawa, etc cos I intend using mpower loan. Is this advisable? I don't want to waste money on application fee. I need advise.

Thank you.

How long ago did you finish from university? Durham doesn’t accept study gap of over 5 years.

romenna:
im going to durham college as well.
Any group yet?

Yes.

Godsfave:

Hello Guys,

My Study permit application got approved on Thursday.

I'm grateful to God, so excited and so happy.

I'm available to answer any questions as well as render assistance for new applicants.


Meanwhile, i'm reading through chats to know how to submit my passport to Vfs for stamping. I did Biometrics in Lagos, i was thinking i could submit in person.

Congratulations

johnstan:
Probably, The instruction after the test is usually to forward the e-medical sheet but there's no harm in sending the patients copy of the results sha.

Exactly no harm, I initially was sending the patient’s copy via webform, but when the result was out, I started sending it.

Jaykeh:
Please if you send anything through webform, say new letter of admission or update financial documents, will it reflect on your portal for you to know they have seen it?

You will be asked to send the new LOA within 30 days

johnstan:
IOM will give you a print out titled e-medical sheet with your assessment details on it, that's the one to upload.

Your assessment result will be sent to IRCC directly within 5 working days and may not be sent to your email except you request for it. That's not the one to upload

I think you can also upload that one too when sent to your email.

Biggyman11:
Oh thanks for you response, I thought post secondary school is mainly for younger age students. Thanks for clarifying…. I studied business and been working as a business development manager.

Not at all...

sambless2013:
Please who can tell how long second application takes after refusal.. Like on the average

Same as normal processing time. Though it depends on how far the VO went with your application before refusal. I’ve seen application refused after 6 months but got approved 7 weeks into second application.

Ladyj143:
Good morning fam,
I want to confirm as I want to reapply, can I use same account or am to create a new account? I want to start adding my duc before the CBSA notes comes out then edit.
I need advice on this, I read animal science BAgric
I finished my nysc since 2010 and 2011 I got job with a bank till date.
My question now
In my SOP I explained my passion for agriculture, I got the admission to study animal science technology which I stated that I want to come back to my home country to practice artificial insemination, cross breeding animals especially having mixed with exotic breeds. However even with my job I still rear animals as of when I wrote my SOP I have 15 cattle under the care of the fulani I stated but didn't add the pix, d cattle are 19 now, 4 have given birth and have small poultry at home, but I didn't register my business.
With this if I rewrite my SOP and add pix will it surface?
Secondly a friend told me I don't need to touch my SOP that may be there's something I didn't get well while filling my form, cos of the response
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT TO CANADA IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A TEMPORARY STAY GIVEN THE DETAILS YOU HAVE PROVIDED IN YOUR APPLICATION. Please gurus advise I just want to start something before the notes comes.

Thank you

First and foremost, the response was generic. The only way to know exactly the VO’s concern/s are is to order your notes.

One thing I have observed in this journey, when claiming you have something, always try to back it up with proofs, so try to get your business registered and also show pictures to ascertain ownership of what you’re claiming.

To me, you can use same account if the money is available and enough to cover your program cost and also living expenses plus miscellaneous. But if you feel the need to do a GIC you can go ahead.

I do not think you didn’t fill the form properly, but like I said, you have to get your notes first to know what’s up with the VO’s concern.

Goodluck going forward

It will end in praise.

Indeed, what GOD cannot do does not exist!

Hello my people, it’s PPR.
Application date: October 6th 2022.
Family of 4.

Thanks a lot for all your guidance and testimonies.

Congratulations to you and yours

Ladyj143:
Thank you,
Should I order for GCMS OR CBSA?

CBSA will be faster.

Biggyman11:
I was offered a Post Secondary School Program/Diploma with a Canadian College in Ontario. Do you think I have a higher chance of getting a visa due to my age and the program? I am 36 and I’m going to study for post secondary program. What are my chances of getting a visa? Is there age limit for this program?

Of course, I’ve seen someone who was 40 years old and got it.

What is your program? And have you been working in line with what you studied in Uni/Poly/Colleg?

Ladyj143:
Sure
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT TO CANADA IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A TEMPORARY STAY GIVEN THE DETAILS YOU HAVE PROVIDED IN YOUR APPLICATION.

You need to order your notes

[quote author=Ladyj143 post=118488705][/quote]So sorry about the delay.

Timeline and Events
New Portal
First-time applicant
Applied by myself. Learnt all from Google, Youtube, and Nairaland

July 4: Upfront medicals
July 8: Application on New Portal
July 8: Biometrics Request
July 13: Gave biometrics and received on portal
** Somewhere in between I’d uploaded my medical sheet from IOM via webform. Can’t remember when.
August 4 (2AM): Sent mail to Lagos, Nairobi, London and attached my medical sheet.
August 4 (Around 1pm): Biometrics and Medicals updated to pass.
** Long wait, ordered notes, CBSA and GCMS, nothing tangible.
October 11: Sent mail to MP
October 13: MP got back literally saying the same thing on portal.
** Around this period, started firing several versions of mails and webforms.
Nov 16: MP reached out to them again – Preassessment done, eligibility not started.
Nov 17 (Around midnight): Sent mails to Beijing, London, Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi.
Nov 17 (Around 12pm): Eligibility review started on portal
Nov 17 (Around 9pm): BVL and PPR

Little story, for POF which is usually a concern, I had like 5.5M in my account, $2k USD in dorm account. 5M was gift deed from my Dad, he had 25M in fixed deposit since July 2021. As at the time I applied, the money was fixed. There were several opinions about this, but I kept it that way even though I was scared sh*tless. The closing balance of that account was 77k in fact.

Around November 9 ish, I sent updated statement showing liquidated funds and my Dad transferred the balance of like 8M to me since I’d enrolled in courses. My savings in Naira and USD had grown, I also got salary raise at work so I packaged all these and sent severally via webforms – both old and new. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered like 3 notes and I still have 4 pending lol.

I’m adding all of these because I’m not sure what did the trick. It’s pretty much a combination of all.

Cuppycak3:
sept 2023 and you already got ppr. wow I tap into your grace. and yes you can apply for open work permit for him to the best of my knowledge but let the gurus answer... please when did you apply?

Okay, thank you very much, I applied in July but already deferred to 2023, two weeks later PPR came.

bullstriker:
Yes, you can get married now, and he can apply once you start your studies in September. Because you indicated you were single, ensure you add proof of relationship such as wedding pics, joint bank account, lease, property ownership etc., to convince them that the marriage was not undertaken to obtain SOWP.

Thank you very much...

Smarthill18:
It's PPR for my brother. I'm so happy.

Second time applicant; Conestoga College
1st application was done through an agent. He Got a rejection due to financial reasons. We ordered his GCSMS and the Visa officer claimed he didn't have enough proof of relationship with his sponsor (Sister). Hence, he wasn't sure he will be able to afford it financially.
He had to defer his admission to January 2023 and re-applied again. All thanks to @scott99tish for his advice.

Second application: Self

Application submission : 27th August

Upfront Medical passed : 26th September

Eligibility: Ghost update. Didn't know when it was updated.

Original passport collection: 17th November

What we did different to address the visa officers concerns (proof of relationship with sponsor);

I opened a canadian GIC account and Submitted the GIC certificate

I Wrote a strong SOP and LOE explaining that sponsor is my blood sister

- Sponsors notorized Affidavit of sponsorship
Sponsors birth certificate, old pictures, old/dated whatsapp messages
Notarized Affidavit of relationship
Recent family pictures
Letter of sponsorship from sponsor
Family tree
Sponsors marriage and change of name certificate/Affidavit
Bank statements
Sponsors Assets

Congratulations to your brother.

Okudi23:
I will come back with my real account later. First time applicant. I applied July. Just got my medical request!. Do I stand any chance?What does this mean for me? My hands are shaking. I took a break from here because going through this forum makes me depressed.

Congratulations in advance, once you do your medical and it’s passed, you’ll get your PPR...

Good luck

jhuly:
Hello guys!
Please I did an upfront medicals on 28th July and submitted with my application. I got a medical request from Ircc 2days ago, I uploaded my upfront E-sheet via webform that same day I got the request and I received a receipt confirmation email from them.
A fellow applicant told me today,that her agent said it's better to redo the medicals because sendin the previous upfront sheet via webform will take 28days to get updated and might not even get updated.
Please how true is this?

They usually take from 30 days and above to respond to webforms and emails now, if it’s not going to cost you anything, please go for another medicals with the request letter. The fee for medical is less compared to all the stress you’ve been through.

It will end in praise

Hello house, please is it the day that the application is submitted the counting starts or from the day biometrics is done the counting starts?

When you submit, biometrics letter is given to you within 24 hours, and should be done within 30 days. I’d think the counting starts when you do your biometrics for first time applicant but starts counting the day you submit for second time applicant.

Good luck.

Good day beautiful people, congratulations to every PPR recipients and for those delayed, please don’t give up, refire, it will definitely end in praise.

Please I have a question, I was single when I applied for my SP and now got approved, though in my SOP I mentioned that’ll come back to get married to my fiancée, and also added our photos together, but now I feel the need to tie the knot before I leave for Canada, my resumption is Sept, 2023. Will I be able to apply for VV or SOWP in like later of 2024 or early 2025 for her since we were not married before my application?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Olayinkaji:
Good day Guys I have an issue. I was asked to submit diploma and English proficiency.
I am from a English speaking country and it wasn't compulsory.
I don't know why they are asking again. I have submitted WAEC then as final secondary school transcript.
The school is Durham.

Should I just leave it

Just leave it, Durham doesn’t require English test.

Goodluck

Thank you.

Could the refusal be it's because I'm going for a year course with the kids?

Maybe if you had paid the entire 1 year tuition. Are you self sponsored?

Thanks alot.


Funny enough, there was no single concern in the GCMS and CBA note.

It is well

What do they now want? God is still in the business of blessing His people. I pray they overturn the decision...

It’s well

amila20042001:
Not for me, I already got my ppr. It's for my wife's SOWP

I was wondering because I know you posted your PPR here weeks ago, that was why I said, “can’t remember the procedure”?

Goodluck to your wifey.

It will end in praise.
