Please if I want to submit a document through webform, which visa office should I select? Nigeria-Lagos or Kenya-Nairobi?

I sent mine to Kenya-Nairobi and it was received and attended to.

Spectro:
Thank you very much for your kindness.

May God continue to bless you for all the good things you've been doing.

I wish you success in your application... You deserve the great things yet to come your way.

I think Frankrobbn1 and Lekiboboe should anoint and induct you into the guru-class. I meant that as a joke, but you definitely are a Guru.

Thank you for your kind wishes and prayers.

As for the guru part...nah, lol.

olasubomy:
That was really proactive and a smart move.

I wish you an approval this time.

Thank you so much.

Amen.


{It’ll Surely End in Praise for Us All}

Let me officially introduce myself.

I’m not very new although I’m new!

I’ve been lurking in the backgrounds of Nairaland since early 2020 after I submitted my first application. And my! Have I grown since then.

I first heard about this place from a Nigerian-Canadian YouTuber sometime mid 2019.

After my first application, I became an active reader and soon realized the mistakes with my application. Even before the refusal came I knew I would be refused because my application was just rubbish�

But since after the delay, I’ve read and learned a lot from the gurus and expert here starting from as far back as thread 13! I became an active reader from thread 15 till date.

I’ve just reapplied after all the life changing nuggets that I gleaned from gurus like @frankrobbn1 @justmellow and some other very old names I can’t mention now.

I was in the background live when @Luckymama @fratermathy and the rest were here doling out advices and tips. I even remember when @Lekiboboe joined and asked his first question� And today he’s a guru of repute even though he would want us to believe he’s not. My brother only God almighty will reward you for all your efforts and time given to this thread.

Here’s my timeline as it stands now:
First Application: April 25, 2020
Biometrics: Sept 24, 2020
BVL: Sept 25 2020
Refusal: Sept 26

Second Application
Deferred program to Fall (Sept), 2021
Upfront Medical: Feb 25, 2021
Submitted: Mar 4, 2021 with MBS
Background Check: Mar 5, 2021

On 11th Mar (7days after I applied, I realized I mistakenly opted ‘NO’ to that infamous question about if one has been denied Canadian visa or any other country visas before. I quickly filled out a new e1294 form with the correct info and sent via webform. At the same time I sent a very compelling email to all the IRCC email addresses individually, pleading with them that it was an honest mistake.

Only Beijing and Edmonton I think responded that they’ve received my new form and updated my application with it. The email also assured me that my application is still being processed.

So, that’s where I am currently in my journey. I decided to become active by rendering solutions to the best of my knowledge and capacity to anyone who requires it. I’m not a guru though. I’m just someone whom Nairaland Canada visa thread has helped a great deal.

Okay thanks. The Qlife is like 6k cheaper than IOM, is this correct?

Yes Q-Life is cheaper by N6,5k. Both clinics are good. Personally, I used qlife. Did my medicals on 25Feb and submitted my application Mar 4th. My results took 5days to be sent to IRCC.

Ifelajulo:
Congratulations all glory to God. 16months is not a joke.

IRCC must have tried your faith. Please after your submission of LOA and POF, do they ask for these documents again before your PPR? Mine is 10months this month.

Yes. Sometimes they do. I’ve seen many cases here where applicants were asked to submit a new LOA (if the old one is no longer valid). Also, a good number of times some people have been asked to resubmit their POF or updated bank statements.

It doesn’t always happen but oftentimes when the processing has taken too long, they’d require updated versions of the docs before approval is granted.

I understand the anxiety and also considering the huge expense of paying for the 3 days stopover.

Canada for the first time as of April 9, 2021, exceeded the United States on confirmed COVID cases in comparing the number of COVID cases per million people to that of the United States. Ontario itself is currently observing a lockdown so it is uncertain if the relaxation on the 3 days mandatory stopover will take effect soon. I sincerely hope it does. But based on the current situation, if you intend to travel but trying to wait for the cancellation of the 3 days hotel stop over policy, please go ahead with your travel plans because you never can tell what policy comes up tomorrow if the number of confirmed cases does not come down. This is my own candid opinion.

May we all reap the fruits of our labour and we won't do all these in vain.

Great advice.

Your three options for this includes:
1. Nig bank Dollar card
2. Flutterwave digital card
3. Asking someone outside Nig to pay on your behalf

NSE information is not on the IRCC website.

I’m talking about the other information people keep asking, especially when there’s no one forthcoming with an answer.

As for the NSE a simple google check is all that’s needed to confirm what the OP was trying to confirm about fees, since he’s not certain of the info being provided here.

I think I’m having issues with selecting options from “Do you have a valid work permit or study permit, and need a visa to return to Canada “

What should be the answer here please ?

The answer should be NO.

Gbolah21:
Good day gurus in the house, I’m new to this thread, I’m about completing my application but the visa fee payment shows 100cad instead of 150cad(I think). I hope thats not an issue and if I can still proceed with the payment.

From this image it appears you’re applying for a visitor visa and not Study Permit/visa. (I zoomed in to confirm).

Study visa for first application is a total of 235CAD which includes biometrics fee 85CAD. While re-application is 150CAD excluding Biometrics.

How much is Nigeria Student Express application fee

There’s nothing like Nigeria Student Express fee. You apply normally with all the documents required namely: IELTS, MBS, Medical slip. Otherwise, you just apply and if they feel you’re qualified for it they’ll send you a request to submit.

So there’s no different or special fee to be paid for it.

PS: why don’t people go to IRCC website to confirm info for themselves anymore?
