Landing gist Nigeria. My flight was 11pm, June 27. I planned to get to lagos airport very early. I left for the airport at 3pm arrived Lagos airport was very chaotic. I willl advice you arrive very early. I figured I had excess luggage and what I was carrying as my carry on bag was too big. I wasn't perturbed I was ready for it. I rearranged my bag and paid for one bag extra Then I went to check-in at Air France desk. They said they need to profile my passport and ask for documents. (In my mind I was like when Naija start to dey sound sweet like this. In my mind I was like Oga which documents do you need im ready for you!) He only asked for Arrive CAN..vaccination card and international passport. He signed and added a white slip behind my passport saying Im cleared I should go and check in. Then we waited in this long Nigerian immigration ( before you join this line they give you a yellow form to fill..just join the line with your phone... The line was sooo long and their system was down for like 45 minutes. 3 or more people missed their flight... Again got to Nigerian airport early. Then we proceeded to board at the right to time. The food in air France was really nice. Tasted like yam and stew porridge...the type in the Esau Used to sell his birthright loool. We landed in CDQ airport France. At 6:25 am on 28th The airport was different, better and more excellent than the Nigerian airport. I had to plan myself for my next 10 hours layover. I asked if I have access to a lounge...they said I have to pay 50 euros for it. My seat mate at the lagos to Paris trip was going to Toronto too..so we were navigating everything together France CDQ airport is very awesome no hassles. Everything here is computerised. Just swipe your boarding pass and direction shows in a computerised map. But the issue was our flight to Toronto wasn't showing on the screen yet because it was like 9 hours away nor was it written on our boarding pass. We asked one of the officials..she scanned my boarding pass and viola! My Gate appeared.. Gate K55. We had to navigate to The K area of the airport...we used a train to get there. When I got to the gate area....then Place was really soft and chill. They had normal chairs.. Sleeping stretchers... And sofa beds. I slept for like 3 hours woke up..got something to eat... Connected to airport wifi... Make calls updated my folks about the trip and all... My flight to Toronto was 4:40pm...they opened the line to board at 3:20pm Here they asked for letter of introduction. (I heard the Indians murmuring that this is new..they never ask that here) I boarded.. We took off...at 4:50pm... Landed at 7:00pm Canadian time...but there was a long queue...so we had to come out of the plane at 7:24pm There was a really long walk...to the self service machine before getting to immigration for the study permit. Where you scan your passport..and print a ticket..this ticket is what determines the line you join.. They were a lot of people! Especially from Ukraine. I joined the study permit line. They were like 50 people ahead of me. When it got to my turn.... The VO was looked calm... I told him he has a nice haircut.. The guy smiled..he was like no one has told him that all day... So he asked for my passport.. Said he will need my Letter of introduction...so I brought out my file..he was like wao I came ready.. I go..you bet! lol... He said I had a back charge and PFL from last year....I was like yeah. He said he sees that I made the payment. I told him I have 2 friends that have the same issue and they have waited for up to a year (the guys are in this group) he said he would have asked for their UCI but there is some confidentiality clause around that. That they should send a webform stating all the details. Then he went to print my study permit. Then he said welcome to Canada! I left...my bags were waiting for me. The person to pick me up was waiting. I left the airport at 9:16 pm (Toronto time) 45 Likes 1 Share |

first application April 6 2021: (old portal)Biometrics April 7th.. Biometrics updated ..July 8th: May 19: Upfront Medical Medicals done May 19 .... June 2 Upfront medical updated --- no NSE request at allEligibility started July 16th Request Letter Back charge July 31st Paid August 2nd PFL Procedural fairness August 25thResponded to procedural fairness August 29th Visa denied November 12th The reason for the PFL/charge back was that my agent used someone's card to pay my visa fees. I was pissed, but I was like...I can't let someone pour sand in my Garri. Initially I thought he was being fraudulent because the person with the card he used to pay wasn't forthcoming with the bank statement. I quickly paid another application fee without an explanation. IRCC sent me mail showing PFL and a potential 5 years ban saying I should explain why debt to the crown was incurred in the first place. Mogbe! I was here thinking...how do I explain to IRCC that a friend used his friend's card to pay for my VISA application.Guess what that's exactly what I did. I told IRCC exactly that! and that it was a common problem in the NIgerian banking system. I also shared a CBN article talking about the dollar limit CBN placed on Nigerian banks.I took it to court to notarize it. The guy later sent his statement, I added it to what was sent. After everything I got rejected on November 12, 2021 I put myself together and reapplied December 3rd with the new portal. (This time I paid full tuition and switched progratailored to my current job experience)No single thing in my application changed. I started classes online which was a story for another day. I sent emails and webforms, no response. At one point I thought something was wrong with the portal! I was like, unlike the old portal where I was getting updatesMedical viewed, with date viewed/ updated. Eligibility etc. This one is nothing! like no single update. December, January, February, March...I was like hmmmmmmm. Then in March. IRCC responded to my webform saying I should resubmit all the documents I applied with! I was like what!!! IRCC lost my file or what? (by this time some people I started the process with and got rejected were already in the UK asking me how far... wont I jump ship to the UK? that IRCC is using us to catch trips. I was like sighhh. I encouraged myself in the Lord. I submitted everything again to IRCC through webform. 2 weeks later this time In April 2022. They sent another email saying that I should submit everything again. This time I panicked . I started calling on God like my life depended on it. It actually did.Because He is the alpha and Omega, my application is in between. He is El roi ...The God who sees. It was at this point I shared what was going on with Maureen. Maureen was like I should just hang in there.. and keep believing. Her encouragement was like cold soothing water in a dry and thirsty land. I also reached out to 2 MPs, they were like its not in their jurisdiction, except it is critical. I emailed one of them saying I have not even gotten an update. He said he will send a mail to IRCC on my behalf. This was third week of april. IRCC responded to him that criminality has been passed. I was like what does that even mean... Im like okay... Then I sent another strong, subtle, emotional but stern mail that I think my situation is very critical because my next semester is not online and I really need a response.He sent another mail to IRCC stating that if I don't hear from them in 4 weeks, I should send him a mail. May 23rd I sent him a mail.Booom!!! PPR May 24th! 2nd Application timeline Dec 3 applied* (no signle update...my portal hasnt changed!) May 24th PPR List of documents submitted are 1.

IRCC sent me a message today August 25th Specifically, provide as explanation as to why the debt to the crown was incurred If you do not respond to this in 15 days your visa would be refused. |
Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by possessor1: 3:13am On Aug 25, 2021 |
I will strongly advise you get an upfront medical done. Thread 18 and 19 has enough data to prove that an upfront medical speeds up you application processing time. Hope this helped. Temtem12: |

IELTS is not required to get admission to most schools in CA. However I will strongly advise and recommend that you got the NSE (Nigerian Student Express) route which needs these 3 requirements 1. IELTS 2. Mybankstatement (Electronic bank statement) 3. Upfront medicals. Otitodilijesu: 2 Likes |
