Relating to your first concern, I had similar worries after applying but, to God be the glory, it ended well. In my case, I only mentioned where my wife works and also mentioned that, in her free time, she co-manages my registered business with me.

I didn't include her employment letter, ID or birth certificate. The only thing I attached was a marriage certificate and family pictures. Alas, I got approved.

I'm sure you understand that no two applications are the same, and no two applications will be viewed with the same lens. Just giving a little guide sha...

Please I have Two questions one 4 me and one for a friend
1. I forgot to state in my SOP and letter of explanation, how my wife and kid will survive while I am away studying, though I put my wife's employment letter there but did not submit her statement of account. IS this bad.also I did not talk about them when addressing my social ties.but I definitely added their birth certificate, pictures (including wedding pictures) and marriage certificate. is it bad I did not Adress it in my SOP


2. My friend is thinking of applying but wants to know if having dreadlocks is red flag.not everyone with dreads is a Yahoo guy ooo.This one has a gymn,an art studio and is into photography but is a graduate of English and literature.
has anyone gotten PPR with dreadlocks ?
is having dreads a red flag?

What God cannot do, does not exist!
God decides who's qualified and who's not.

Timeline
Application: May 31st
Biometrics: n/A ( Biometrics Done like years back during my Work permit application. I was Refused twice)
Medicals: 15th September
Medical passed: 24th September
Correspondence letter : 1st October
PPR: 1st October
First time study visa applicant.

TIM masters Program at Carelton University, No tuition fees deposit at all.

Previously studied in the UK, also 5yrs ban from the UK.

I tried to use the services of a Canadian Immigration agent and She told me point blank that she won't take my case because its a waste of money and I won't get it. Hmmm Clearly she isn't God. Indeed there is a God and indeed he answers prayers.

The Way God did it for me, he will do it for you all waiting on your approval. All the best.

My Timeline
Guys, I'm overjoyed. May everyone on this stage who is waiting and hoping for the same miracle feel the excitement and relief I felt today, after such a long time.
This mission began in the year 2019. I was in the Express Entry pool, and there didn't seem to be any hope. I had also applied to provinces in Canada for their various PNPs, but had never received a response.
I started thinking about going using the study route in December 2020. I began researching into it — on the internet, on YouTube, on Instagram, and so on.

Long stories short:
Applied, May 15.
Biometrics, May 20 (Silence followed afterward).
Medical Request Letter, September 9.
Medicals Done September 13 (I nearly fainted when IOM called me for a repeat chest X-ray the next day).
Medicals Updated to Passed, September 17.
BVL & PPR, October 1, 2021.

Documents Submitted:
o LOA University Canada West.
o SOP (I spent 1 month writing this and after submission, I still felt like I should have added some more info… lol…).
o MBA, 2 years.
o I am self-sponsored, with 8 years of banking experience, and 3 years of FMCG experience.
o My Salary Account bank statement (MBS, 250k balance, turnover N35m, for 8 months period thereabout, and account is 8 years old).
o Another personal savings account statement. I use this account mostly for transacting my private business (MBS, nearly 13M balance, turnover N140m, for a 9months period, and account is more than 5 years old).
o Company registration docs (I didn’t attach the company account statement. However, there were series of funds transfers from my company account to my individual account)
o Receipt of CAD 7900 tuition paid.
o Certificate of Occupancy of bequeathed landed property from my dad to me, after his passing (land allocation receipt, survey reports, ground rents, etc. included).
o Marriage certificate.
o Birth Certs for my two kids.
o Family Pictures, showing my wife, kids, and me.
o O’level, Degree, and Discharge Certificates.
o Several Professional Certificates (NIM, NISP, ACCA Diploma in Accounting & Business, Advanced Excel Training, Business Writing, Udemy certs, EDX certs, etc.)
o Driver’s License
o 2 South Africa Visas and histories of a visit to SA
o Raised a webform and sent emails to Lagos and Nairobi for the first time 5 days ago.
o Applied & received the first GCMS note on August 24th with nearly everything blank.
o Second GCMS note should arrive in a week or two.
I'm sure I left out a lot in sharing this experience, but I hope this would be helpful to someone.
My landing gist would come next. Perhaps then I'll be able to provide a more complete summary.
Despite the fact that I discovered this site after submitting it, I've learned a lot here and feel compelled to give back.
May everyone still waiting to receive good news eventually, Amen!

May 15. I will return with the full gist.

Iffylove:
Congratulations... When did you apply

God is faithful! He, alone, can do all things.

Finally, my PPR just dropped!

Rest assured that I will be back here to give a detailed update of how I journeyed through it all...

For those waiting, continue to put your trust in the Lord. It must surely go round!

It will soon arrive, bro. We can't wait to read your testimony here!

Timmypaul:
I got medical request on 7th of September. It got updated to pass on Monday. Am seriously praying to get my ppr soon am tired of the wait.

Nice one! PPR shall come IJN!
For all those who have received a medical request letter and awaiting the grand decision, can we all please keep in touch??

viviangogos:
My people my people, God is already doing the wonders oooo.

August 4th applicant.
Eligibility started today and I got a medical request by 2pm.
I did an upfront medical in April 2021 and it was passed in May 2021. ( during my first application)
I uploaded my e-medical sheet via webform and i also sent it via email to Nairobi.
I also sent IOM the medical request form asking them to re submit my medical examination to IRCC.

My question is; my login shows " action required" but I did not see any portion for me to upload the medical sheet. are my on track with what I have done so far?

Is there anything else I need to do

God will bring forth rains of PPR for everyone waiting.

I received a medical request on September 9th and passed it on September 17th. The silence till now is madd... When did you get and passed yours??

Timmypaul:
Pls is there anyone who got medical request this September and have gotten ppr. Medical has been passed but I haven’t heard anything till now.

This is the kind of story they tell to gullible people who they eventually traffick to Libya, Somalia, or Italy, and are subjected to forced labor or prostitution, against their will. Remember -- if it sounds too good to be true, it's probably a trap. Believe them at your own peril!

Hallenjay:
ADVICE NEEDED.


HELLO good people in the house.

One of my colleague that we share secret a lot gave me an offer and I need your opinion.
He says her mother can sponsor me to Canada based on agreement that I will pay her some percentage of everything she spend when I get there. Like if she spent 200 nairn am going to pay her 150% of it. ( example)
So before we reach this stage ,he once told me his mum want him to leave the country but his girlfriend is the one holding him down bla bla bla and he still hope to leave the girl but he needs how to convince her because they are always together which am aware of.
It seems he wants the girl to conceive so everything will be settled and a kind of am married status will hang around his neck for the girl to trust her. She is afraid he might get anoda girl wen he leave d country for greener pasture


My question and curiosity is that:
Is it possible she did this ( I mean the mother fully sponsored a colleague / friend of his son abroad legitimately with no string attached or some underneath plans )

Should I consider it or what are the questions I need to ask and what conditions should I accept this offer.NB: I work and earn well but I don't like my work and most importantly Nigeria is getting worse by the day.

Is there a format like this that's going on for some deals that I don't know about.
I'm happy and elated because she say Canada and having know that Canada are not into what's happening in Italy and Co. I want to believe that slavery, po*n and Co may not be in pictures since we r not talking of Malaysia and Co.



Another reason why I come here again is that, the son was giving me option to choose from, like do I want Germany, France or Canada. I choose Canada to see if he will say he doesn't think her mum can pull it through but he didn't instead he even say 2yrs student visa may be the option available.
He talks as if this is what they do often and say he has a lot of people outside the country ( he didn't say if they are all der through her mum)

Last but not the least is meeting her mum for some court document's and agreement.



THE ABOVE POST WAS WHAT ME AND A FRIEND DISCUSSED AND SINCE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT TRAVELING, I TOLD HIM NAIARALAND WILL HELP.

KINDLY HELP LADIES AND GENTs

Mine has been updated to passed since September 17th. The wait in the past few days is more frustrating than the initial 4 months wait I endured, before getting a medical request letter

Teemenzo:
Abeg, after medical passed, how long is the silence.

I won't lie to you, i dey feel like make i dey receive update daily. I never use 48hours ooo after medical pass. E don be like days.

any time you hear "I WILL COME BACK TO SHARE MY TIMELINE", just forget it, they never do. Especially if its coming from " I'm a silent follower/reader of this group". These people get so much here and refuse to give back.

Teemenzo:
I tire ooo, i was even expecting to see

"LONG POST ALERT" or
"THIS IS THE MOST IMPERFECT APPLICATION " or
" WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST" or
" I WILL COME BACK TO SHARE MY TIMELINE" and off they go
" I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SEEING" or
" I'M STILL IN SHOCK"

On and on like that.

Has your medical been updated to 'Passed' on your profile?

grace4ever2021:
Good day family, Please I need an honest opinion here.my school has resumed since Sept 1 2021, but it's about 8dayz now when I did my medicals as requested by ircc..please how long doest it have to take before my ppr drops ..please I need help here because I'm really scared

Just the period you requested would be shown to the visa officer (e,g. 1 Jan 2021 to 31 August 2021). The totals of debits and credits, along with the details of all individual transactions are shown, but nothing outside the period the request is made is shown.

Rasakiopoewa:
Pls I want to know if MBS will give access to the VO to see my entire account
Again, is it possible to generate MBS on first bank mobile app
Pls help, urgent

Easy, bro...

But I feel your grief. It's inexcusable to hang people's hopes on a sliver of hope for months and then respond with generic comments anytime they try to make any kind of inquiry.

And besides, if the United States and the United Kingdom can have a simple, uncomplicated process for evaluating study permits, so why wouldn't Canada?

Nothing stands in the way of them making a decision within 4 to 6 weeks of receiving an application. Allowing the applicant to immediately rethink their application or go on with their lives to other endeavors.

Did you know that, in this long period of wait, a lot of applicants completely shut down? Some people become unproductive at work because their spirit has left the country as they await approval to relocate to Canada. Some even have a physical presence in Nigeria, but they are already traveling from one province to the next in Canada in the spiritual realm.

dotoracs:
Send a mail of displeasure to Marco or whatever his name is. That's their immigration minister.

This behaviour is so unacceptable. After paying for the service, one is not being treated right as a client. IRCC owes you a duty of feedback within the agreed period of processing. Aswearugad! that's what I will do if my application remains unanswered by August 9, 2021. I applied April 8, 2021. No be their fault actually.... Na them Buhari.

Let me get that medical request letter, first. IOM will know they met a different kinda person. By the time I stampede their office for 2 days, they will be left no choice but to attend to me on day 3. I can bet my life. For now, the focus is to get the request letter.

SweetJJ:
Some of us no dey hear word oo. They have been advising everyone to do upfront medical. Now see. I pray the brother that was sent medical request finds his way out.

If you are new, better do yourself a favor and do upfront medical. It saves time.

Anybody who cannot demonstrate the capacity to service the interest element of a proposed loan (at the very least) may never be able to secure the loan. I guess Mpower would be accessing that too. So, anybody hoping to get a loan must, first, figure out how to service the interest.

[quote author=obaalasepe post=103232151][Why don't you apply for study loan? Mpower to be precise.

Timeline:
1st application 2016
Applied for PGD in HRM to Georgian College
Refused on basis of;
# Home ties (I applied for visitors visa for my husband and first child, my other two are US citizens)
# Finanicial bla bla bla (VO wasn't convinced the course was a reasonable expense, no career progression and he claimed there was a bulk cash lodgement into the account, which unfortunately wasn't true)

2nd application 2020
Applied for MHRM in University of Regina
Refused primarily because I wasn't "totally truthful" in my application. I had clicked yes on the previous refusal of visas but unfortunately it was only the details of my previous study permit application I dwelt on. Other excuses about section R216 ie not leaving Canada were mentioned in the rejection but my GCMS highlighted that the VO's main concern was the non-declaration of the US visa refusal.

A big congrats to those who secured their study permits.

House please I have a question and would appreciate it if anyone can give an opinion on it.

I applied for a tourist visa (temporary permit) to the UK in 2016. However, due to some mistakes (knowingly and unknowingly), I got banned for 10 years by the UK.

Now to the point, my question is if I applied to Canada for a study permit, disclosing fully what transpired in my previous UK application, would I stand any chance?? or should I not just bother

It is closed for now till early 2021

uniquemeh:
sir is the scholarship still open?

Between now and month-end (April), we should receive a first-level communication from MFAT

Glad to be here. Please let's keep the thread more active.
