Gurus in the house,

Please, I applied April 15 and I just joined this trend after the application. I didn’t submit my WAEC, Degree certificate and transcript along with the application.

Please what can be done to fix this error, thanks.

You can send them through webform

So happy for you

LadyBlaq:
Words have failed me. Who am I that he is so mindful of me? A wretched sinner like me? With all my baggages, Grace has found me...


Will be back ooo

NorthernshoreTS:
Congratulations LadyBlaq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and congratulations to everyone who have received their PPR. I am so happy for everyone. For those of us still on the journey, let us persevere in faith and trust God to complete that which He has started.

I also implore all of us to celebrate even the most little accomplishments. I posted that we had finally gotten admission into University of Regina after 4months+ of waiting and not a single congratulations from anyone. We only congratulate those who got PPR. Let us celebrate every the little victories.

Godspeed to us all.

You are right o. Getting admission is a task of its own. Can you imagine that my admission to UNBC took more than two months, long after I have even submitted visa application o. True true, we need to celebrate our not so tiny victories.

Four whole months? Jeez! Congratulations dear, next is the Visa approval.

boscom:

No there is none, it's still the usual "we are reviewing...."

Ontario bound. Pls, which school?

We already paid 20,000$ worth of tuition. Also, we already transferred the remaining school fees and living expenses to the applicants account. About 23M Naira.

RxOtunba:
Maybe you'll need to make a commitment before your next application, eitherby paying a full year tuition or living expenses. Nevertheless, get ur gcms note before you re-apply. All the best.

CHIKACIC:

Hi all, good evening.

So my study permit was approved last week but I had to defer to Fall 2021 from Summer 2021.

What are the process involved in informing IRCC? I got my new admission letter today, and I can get a new funding letter from my supervisor if need be.

Kindly help.

@frankrobbn @justmellow @lekiboe etc

Alright. All the best!

We are still waiting ooo, I don't know what IRCC is doing but it is well!

LadyBlaq:
Thank you Teenie, what's up with your sis application so far?

1Girllykdat:
Hello everyone. Please I'm in a fix & I need your advice .

Prior to my application for a research-based msc programme in Canada, I reached out to a prof who confirmed she'd be taking in 2 graduate students and also confirmed that our research interests aligned but wouldn't take anybody yet till the academic committee and potential supervisors reviewed all applications.

4 months after applying (may 2021), I heard nothing from the school. So, I mailed the graduate co-ordinator inquiring about the outcome of my application and the professor replied instead.

The prof told me she was finalizing her research group for fall and asked if I'd be able to talk over zoom. We had the meeting and we talked about my research proposal and said she'd be taking me in and giving me the emails of her other students and would speak to the graduate co-ordinator about funding as I am an international student.


With her word, I assumed I was in only for me to again mail the graduate co-ordinator in June (as time for visa application was going) and then be told the prof isn't taking in students again.

I was shocked and asked if there was a mix-up. I mailed the supervisor and she said she was sorry and that I misunderstood her. That she was torn as I am an excellent fit for her lab but that she is already taking in 2 phd students and now at her maximum capacity.

I mailed the graduate co-ordinator and asked if it was possible to switch to course work instead. She said that though my application had already been denied (cos of the prof), I would be considered.

But now the thing is next week is July and I don't even know when I would hear from the school. Plus neither I nor my close relatives have my school fees. I thought I would get in through research which is why I applied for only research programmes.

I met the minimum requirement of 75% btw . Had 82% in undergrad.

Does anybody have an idea how I can "appeal" to the professor or go about the situation?

So sorry about this, I would suggest you focus on 2022 and don't put all your eggs in one basket. You have a good Academic Standing based on the percentage you mentioned.

Check out other Schools in Canada who have your Areas of Interests for Research.

As someone mentioned earlier, USA, is a very good alternative, infact USA has more Fully-funded Graduate opportunities than Canada. And you can cross from USA to Canada

There was a tweet I saw week and it goes thus,

If you’re looking for a country where you can easily get an admission, consider UK

If you’re looking for a country where you have better scholarship options, consider US

If you’re looking for a country where you have better chances of getting a foreign passport, consider Canada

If getting a scholarship is a big part of your study abroad plans, and getting one in Canada is looking elusive, you can work out a smart plan

Consider the US as a study destination, and work towards your Canadian Permanent Residence application from there.

That’s a smart plan.

Example of a Smart plan is this

PHD from another Country to PR in Canada

USA might/might be your stepping stone to Canada

Only God knows how happy I am for you.

LadyBlaq:
You all are the real MVPs. Lekiboe, Frank, Anon, Uzomachukwu, Baphil, Lianna, Shuppy, my darling Sis Bisola, infact, all of you, God will continue to bless you all. Special shout out to Oga Seun for creating this impactful forum, i am happy to have known this great family...

So, Australia was my first choice because i couldn't dare try Canada, I had heard of their strict study visa assessments. I spent a lot of money with different agents as most schools in Australia would never deal directly with students. I finally settled with a school in NSW and boom, Corona happened and their borders have been closed since then.

I had no choice but to try the almighty Canada and trust me, my anxiety and preconceived fear of their stringent rules got a better part of me because, my application was messssssyyyyyyyyy!!!!

1) After submitting my app, i read on here that i shouldn't have done a money gift deed, especially when the gift-er isn't related to me, moreover, some folks said they haven't seen any study visa getting approved with a money gift deed by a gift-er who isn't part of the family. Guess what! they were right because my application would be the first they'd see. I am self sponsored applicant and the bulk of my fund was gifted by my late father's friend. Even though we don't share the same blood and name, we had something more than that, we had the commitment and bond. So i had him do a money gift deed(10m), which he paid into my account in bulk, sometime in February. I dug up old pictures of himself and late father, old pictures of himself and myself when i was younger, letter he wrote to me in place of popsy during my graduation in 2013, financial statement histories between myself, momsy and him, from different banks and as old as 2014. I also had him write a support letter and explain why he had to make such commitments, using his Company's letter headed paper.

2) In the bid to achieve the much needed mb capacity, i had shredded lots of documents off my application and eventually ended up tampering with my transcript. I reported myself here on Nairaland, hoping to get some hope or outright condemnation. Lol, i was told to resend the transcript and beg them not to misunderstand my intention, and then hope for the best outcome. Uzomachukwu, on the contrary, opined to be concise and not beg for their mercy as though i have done something "hideous". Eventually, she helped my with a well structured mail and i sent it to IRCC via webform. Baphil also reached out and re-compressed my files, she produced a much clearer file even with the additional missing pages. I don't know how she did it but i was wowed and i sent my files afresh via email.

3) Not a single ghost update till this morning. From what i read here, i guess i didn't really get any ghost update since my status remained "submitted", until this morning when i saw "your status updated". At a point i was praying for any kind of update, lollllllll.

One month and few days after my application, i requested for my GCM notes on 24th May, it came in yesterday, 23rd June. I hoped to tackle any negative feedback via webform but i was disappointed as i couldn't understand anything there and it seemed empty. Nairalanders said otherwise and i should brace myself for a positive feedback, Anon also assured me that a positive decision was coming soon since it was noted at the tail end of the notes, IRCC called my school to re-affirm the validity of my LOA. Even with all these, i remained skeptical, a little pessimistic and a little hopeful

This morning, as i logged in as per my usual ritual, I saw correspondence letter and PPR request sitting pretty on my page long before a mail dropped.
My application was tacky at best, i couldn't pray to save myself, i guess the prayers and good wishes of everyone and my family&friends made a way for me to be found worthy. I pray for this uncommon Grace for all PPR hopefuls, together we will all celebrate.

Application and confirmation was done on 17th April, with complete NSE docs (RLWS-7,7.5,7,7.5)
Biometrics Request on 18th April
IELTS Request letter, i resubmitted my IELTS
Did my upfront medicals together with my biometrics on 29th and 28th of April.
Medicals updated to pass on 28th of may after sending mails to Lagos
First Gcmnotes requested on 24th May, it arrived on 23rd June
Second Gcmnotes requested on 21st June...
Correspondence L and PPR request on 24th June.

Please who knows if Barters flutterwave virtual card is good for making VISA application payment to CIC.

Congratulations dear


PPR on the way before you know it

Good evening everyone ,

I’d like to add, if you have the doc for nse,submit everything if you have them instead of waiting for them to ask.

I personally submitted everything for nse and in my loe told them , I’m eligible for nse and that I have submitted everything as with upfront medical.
This is just to reduce the waiting time.
Those guys are now picking up applications and if your file is complete, it makes things easier for them too and fast at your end .
