I applied myself on the 28th of April, 2021 after months of gathering several documents and making my first installment payment of school fees.

Ever since I applied, I just dey do hard hard hard girl, deep down my mind no settle.

I'm extremely grateful to God for crowning my efforts with this good news, and to my sponsors una try well. Thank you �.

I got the good news this afternoon at exactly 12:11pm, two days after I sent mails to two parliament members and few minutes after I sent a webform.

Here's my timeline (non-NSE route, although I submitted mybankstatement for some accounts and normal statement of account with a letter from the bank with bank letter head as well as my IELTS result)

Application submitted: April 28
Biometrics done: May 7th
Upfront Medical examination done: June 8th
Medical examination updated to passed: June 15th

Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories !

Kriptune:
Thank you very much.

To support my family ties, I wanted to send my dad’s old contract award letter with the state government, his company’s CAC and the particulars of directors to prove he owns the company and has handled a top government contract, meanwhile this is the same company where I work and My dad isn’t funding my education. Will this raise a red flag?

Secondly, I want to attach birth certificates of my siblings, but not all are available. Should I go ahead with the ones I have or just skip this.

Please Gurus and great people of this forum, i would like to know how you went about sending your webform, i have been trying to do that since yesterday and the site keep saying error failure sending. Please i need a thorough guide i have submitted my application since March 30. Help a brother with your response. Thanks

OCT202020:
Sorry......I have been away for couple of days.
Answering your second question, please add the available birth certificates.

That first question pass me o,na for gurus but I think those documents can show how well established the family is and adding them is not a red flag ,yet I don't know how relevant they are since dad is not sponsoring. But I'm of the opinion; documents no dey too plenti.

Let's wait for the guru's.

emmalextemtop:

Enjay316:

Enjay316:

Febisola007:
Hi Guys my friend applied for his study visa this year March with upfront medicals, he got a request letter from IRCC to send an updated Letter of Acceptance from his school, he sent it early this morning around 2 am for September intake, he got a correspondence letter from IRCC around 9am for the validity of his biometrics (BVL). Please is everything ok? He's really scared

Goodbetterbest:
Good morning everyone. Let me ask.

Have you ever heard someone was refused in error. The refusal was letter reversed in the same application not that the person reapplied. Has anyone ever heard of such?

ritzzybaron:
Omo! Where will someone see dollar to buy now with this useless CBN Emefiele’s administration ?

I don’t understand how an administration will just be making life difficult for the common man. I hope this news on dollars is reversed otherwise it may even go up to N1000 to a dollar.

That means we will be needing way more naira for proof of funds. It is well

Congrats to all those that have received their PPRs, we shall all testify.

Shenaniganzzz:
Also please new applicants (June-July) if there's anyone that used the new ircc portal of applying for VISA, please let me know if na only me waka come

Shenaniganzzz:
Please has anyone gotten ppr without a single ghost update? Is it really necessary for ppr?
If someone doesn't get a ghost update, does it mean they've disposed the person's file?
Must someone see a ghost update? Like is it by luck one finds a ghost update or does it clear if one does not login?

EmeeNaka:
Please are there still April Applicants waiting for PPR here??

gracedson:

LONG POST!!!!

MY GcKEY WATCH IS OVER!!!

#NairaLand Silent Reader Since 2018.

First and foremost, I want to thank God for this. The journey began in 2018, when I was finishing my Bsc in Malaysia. I applied to University of Calgary (Msc of Computer Science Thesis) 2018 after graduating with First Class in Malaysia, but UCalgary rejected me. In the same year, I applied to 5 different top universities and was rejected by all of them. Then, in 2020 I was so desperate, I applied to 10 top schools in different provinces and was rejected from all the 10. In my mind I was like, are they doing me from home?

I didnt give up, I didnt relent.

Then, in October 2020, I applied to only three of the schools I had been applying to (UCalgary, UAlberta, and UWaterloo), and by March 8, I received a response from UCalgary, who offered me admission with a FULL FUNDING of CAD 54,000 SCHOLARSHIP, meanwhile my tuition is only CAD 16,000 for the two-year program (I was like, Ehn ehn, Good news at the end)

Then I started working on my SP application. Thanks especially to JustMellow of GCMSWriters; I contacted him and he wrote me a fantastic SOP; in fact, I was smiling as I read it.

It took me nearly two months to package all of my documents, and on May 1st, I submitted my application.

Let me add that during each application, I sent hundreds, if not thousands, of messages to potential supervisors before I could finally secured one.

JustMellow and his GCMSWriters come highly recommended by me to anyone who wants to receive good news.

More PPR in Jesus Name for everyone. God that did mine will do yours.

FlyingColors:
Hi guys,

It's my first time on this thread. I noticed there aren't any visa interview transcripts here versus the US visa thread.
Just curious, is there a reason for it? or I just haven't searched properly? Kindly point me to one if any.
Thanks.

Omiinii:
Bruh I went through your profile and posts out of curiosity on how long your process was taking and I figured that you were asked to send an updated MBS around June 14. However you had insufficient funds in your account at the time. Well after that you didn't update the house how you settled the matter but I have a feeling that your app has not been finalized due to that particular request.
There's only two things that could have happened: its either you submitted the 6 million bank statement like that(insufficient funds) or you funded the account to double digits (lump sum). That might just be a reason. I'm just taking a wild guess. Please keep us update on the outcome of your application. It will end in praise IJN.
