Silence is the best answer for you like I said God will heal u, I see nothing wrong in recommending good people, I am unapologetic about recommending him well the good news is I will be in Canada soon so you can stay here on this platform and cry all you want instead of looking for how to better yourself, I initially wanted to deactivate my account but I will wait to share my landing gist before leaving the platform for you and your silly thoughts

El oh el.
This one you rubbing your "being on your way to canada" on my face doesnt justify anything.
You must think everyone here is poor, because you have gotten your claimed ppr, when you definitely know for one to make a step towards canada, it shows a level of financial stability.

Man, just do as you please. But stop shoving yourself/agent down people's throat.
All the best to you.
Congratulations in advance on your landing gist.

We move!!

Hey Godsgabby and Coleadeyemi, i understand where both of you are coming from. Most people here employ agents on this platform based on the testimonies of fellow applicants about their integrity and calmness throughout the whole process.

Without advertising, i have know two people who many others can testify that they are good at the craft. They are Frankrobbn and Justmellow. Even though they are faceless, we still believe their opinions of every issue dished on this platform.

At this point, i will want everyone of us to please homor this platform by keeping away advertisement and stick to the purpose of this group. No fighting or argument. Drop your opinion and relax, drink water and enjoy people's comments.

For me, i will be applying for the study permit soon. My spirit told me to chill a bit, i don't know why.

Congrats. I am also may 13 applicant. Good news is coming soon.

Stephblues:
I pray for positive news soon. Congratulations in advance.

And on other notes TGIF, can we just relax our nerves with some Owanbes especially those expecting PPR.

Thanks for the awesome feedback

- He is a fresh graduate
- No NYSC
- Graduated 2020
- No work experience in Business Management
- That’s his field of interest, he wants to build his career in that line.

Lekiboboe:

Hi Honorable,

First of all, I.T. cannot really be categorized as work experience, cos I.T is a training, and I.T students are not usually paid, or they don't have a documented payment (I STAND TO BE CORRECTED)

If he has done NYSC, his 1-year service year can be categorized as a Work Experience cos Corp members are paid monthly by the Federal Govt. and their payments are documented.

Your Friend can't do a Masters with a 2.2, his chances are very slim as Canada requires a 2.1, most esp. a strong percentage (75% upward) in the last two years of the applicant
as an Undergraduate e.g 400L & 500L.

Your Response to the questions below would/might determine the type of program your friend would/should go for

- Is your friend a Fresh Graduate?
- Has he done NYSC? If yes, what is the name of his Job at his PPA & what were his job duties?
- What year did he graduate?
- Why Business Management?
- Does he have Work Experience in Business Management?

Nah so! Thank you.

Really, are you sure?

So i can submit the CAC doc without the new bank details then but the old bank details.

Cos registering a farming biz now will look somehow and it's too early.
Am looking forward to get the invoices, sales receipt for years and pictures of biz environment. Hope this will suffice in absence of the CAC!...?

My response has nothing to do with visa application. This was your question "Hello, registering a biz through CAC, does it importantly requires opening a bank account with it at first instance?" And I stated, it doesn't.

I already gave you suggestion awhile back regarding your circumstance.

Jioke1994:
@Shupy and @Lekiboboe
Pls, my main sponsor has a CAC document which I'll submit.
But, my co-sponsor's (mum) business is not registered.
Must she register her business?

CAC documents are dated. Work with whatever you have. Picture of her establishment, 2-3 receipts of transaction and her bank statement.

CONGRATULATIONS
PPR will soon drop

If someone submits additional documents to ircc through webform, does if affect the persons application time?

Lekiboboe:

You are welcome.

Well that I don't know about that,I didn't even bother myself to ask about it, and he didn't tell me anything or any updates. If there was any he would have contacted me

CONGRATULATIONS.

The gurus should please kindly advise.

I have 2 years plus as Agricultural Sales Supervisor, B. Tech(2.1) in Agriculture and Resource Economics. I am planning to apply for M.Sc in Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics at Canadian University. Am I on the right track in eyes of the VO?

Many thanks.

Thank you for understanding.
Atleast people recommend frank and just mellow based on how they went with them and also cos they can be found.
I mean frank has a website where you can even read reviews, just mellow is also available on other platforms too.
And they have high recommendations cos they know their onions. Not someone doing so themselve.


If your spirit tells you to chill, then please chill and apply when you are ready.

Thank you once again for understanding my point.

Wow. Nice one Lekiboboe. I do have a question tho. What is the minimum cash a person can declare at the airport. I don’t think I have the mind to carry $8k physically in cash. You try.

Lekiboboe:
MY LANDING GIST!!!!

KLM Flight at MMIA, Ikeja. Lagos to Amsterdam (almost 6hrs layover at Amsterdam Airport), Amsterdam to Toronto.

Got to the Airport 4pm, August 11th

Brought three bags (22kg Clothes, 20kg Food), Laptop bag with my laptop, clear bag having my docs. & some other Contents (chips) inside of it.

Interestingly, the first search port , they checked my first bag which was having my clothes in it, as I was trying to bring my second bag (which contained Food stuffs) , they said I shouldn't bother, was quite surprised. Because i know i might not be able to go out during quarantine, I packed a substantial amount of food stuffs and ready to eat foods such as Peanuts, Chips etc. The second bag i used to pack my foodstuffs was a Traveling bag, am assuming they thought it was Clothes that was also inside that bag. In a nutshell I wasn't directed to Nigerian Quarantine Agriculture service, I went straight to KLM post to check-in.


Documents Asked;
- International Passport
- LOA
- Tuition Payment. Receipt from the School
- Negative COVID-19 Test
- Enrollment Letter was asked but i had only "Travel Authorization Letter (Travel Support Letter)", Enrolment letter wasn't available, my DLI would not give me cos my Program is in-person (can't be done online) and they told me i need to be in Canada in physical, get the STUDY PERMIT before I can be allowed to register. The KLM staff was a bit skeptical about me not having ENROLLMENT LETTER, but only TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER, I had to show her the e-mail from the school to prove that what I was saying was legit, she called her OGA, the oga sha scanned thru the TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER and the mail, he was pointing out a portion of that letter to her & told her "I was good to go".

She directed me to another port to check in my luggage, and i met another lady, she asked for my passport, gave me YELLOW card that I should fill it and also write the name of my destination, DLI, Naija Phone number on it, then she gave me my boarding pass (Lagos to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Toronto)

From there, I sat down somewhere near one Foreign Affairs mini office. I was jejely waiting there, Mumsy, Dad & my Aburo (sisto) were with me. Naxo one man with I.D card just come meet my mumsy say, is he your son, mumsy answer " yes". He come talk say make me i follow am (he looks like a Custom/immigration/foreign affairs staff, wasn't able to see details about his ID, but he be like say he get mouth for that airport, he was on a casual outfit, not in Uniform). He was with some travellers going to Canada as well. Naxo me just follow am, he told mumsy, say make dem give him her fone make he snap us Sharp sharp, telling her that " after this place they are not allowed to follow me to the Immigration section".

Mumsy come dey kinda cry, hug me, me come dey feel emotional but smiling, Daddy and my Aburo (sisto) no cry but we hugged, snapped pictures and said their BYES to me.

So i went through the Naija Immigration section, and it was seamless. This man was in our front all through, I no know wetin him dey follow those Customs guys, immigration guys talk. I guess that man na one ANGEL. I was with my one year Living Expenses in Cash $8K USD (equivalent to $10K CAD), I wasn't able to get PTA for naija bank cos my ticket na ONE WAY.

Naija Immigration guys only asked of my:
- International Passport
- Boarding Pass
- Yellow Card.

He made a stamp on my PASSPORT, collected my YELLOW CARD, gave me back my boarding pass and said I can go.

We went to another port of immigration, commot belt, remove shoes, remove phone, remove laptop put on big tray like that,entered the other side and left.

In a nutshell, I didn't grease anybody hands, nobody asked me for money (anything for the boys), nobody asked "how much is with you" customs seff no ask me any question, i just walk pass them as that man dey go for our front . I was just being attended to like a DIPLOMAT and all was a cruise.

Along the line I saw one cute yarinya (kai walahi odo wun yefe ), his Dad/guardian (an Airport/Aviation staff I guess) was with her putting her thru, na so we gather dey together dey gist till our Amsterdam Flight was called for boarding, but our seat come far, nobody to gist with again

FLIGHT FROM LAGOS TO AMSTERDAM (SCHIPOL AIRPORT)
Flight departed Naija : 11pm , August 11th

Food Was quite OK, Oyinbo Food, chai.... We were served twice. Me just zip my Orange Juice after eating.

Movies Yapa ,
I watched GOLD STATUE (Gabriel Afolayan, Sola Sobowale, RMD, Kalu Ikeagu) but didn't complete the movie, BOB Abishola TV series and WonderWoman 1984

Got to Amsterdam 5am the next day " August 12, we waited till 10.45am (5-6hrs stop over) before announcement was made about boarding the Flight going to Toronto from Amsterdam, we were on queue, the KLM staff there asked for my Docs., told him I was a student.

Showed him my
- COVID-19 Negative PCR test
- Boarding Pass
- Passport
- Travel Authorization Letter

He said I should make sure I show all documents to the CBSA guys at Toronto P.O.E. & he wished me a safe trip

I can count the number of Dark skin passengers on that aircraft, 80% of them were Whites, Middle East & Asians.

FLIGHT FROM AMSTERDAM TO TORONTO

On the KLM flight from Amsterdam to Toronto, we were served oyinbo food, me i just jejely asked for Natural Orange Fruit juice all through to press the food, the food was delicious, and was jejely sipping it (to keep boosting my immune system). I was able to complete the MOVIE (GOLD STATUE) on this flight, also saw the movie "Godzilla vs KingKong".

We arrived Toronto Pearson Airport 12.45pm (journey was 6-hours). We Trekked wella before getting to the CBSA officers check point. There was a machine i visited first with my international Passport (for Scanning) & also answered some questions, and also the machine snapped my picture, when i was through, a white slip was printed out automatically with my picture on it and some other info.

So I was on the queue, met an immigration officer (a Cute woman with a latina-like face attended to me);
she asked me
- why are you in Canada, told her to "TO STUDY"
- International Passport
- Negative COVID-19 Test result
- ArriveCAN receipt.

So on that slip that had my picture in it, she made a remark with a Marker on it, gave me back, and also gave me a Paper having some information about COVID-19.

So I proceeded to the next immigration officer.

He asked for my
- Passport (Gave to him)
- Why I was in Canada?
- Is this my first time in Canny?
- What DLI (School) are you attending?
- ArriveCAN receipt

Within 5-minutes, he printed my STUDY PERMIT, on that letter there was an information which shows I can work as a student & he also gave me a Work permit (Co-op Work permit). In a nutshell i got two WORK PERMITS.

I was directed to an exit, met another immigration officer, he asked how much was with me, I told him $8K USD ($10K CAD equivalent), was trying to bring it out, he just said "you can go"

Went to claim my LUGGAGE, saw my first bag, was intact, saw my second bag containing the food stuffs, the Bag has been opened, zip messed up, the KLM staff come dey apologize say na the people wey arrange my load no do am well, and talk say the few turbulence that happened in the air affected some luggage including mine. i checked if all was intact and discovered nothing was taking cos i get list of everything in a paper.

I am not vaccinated, so i went for my rapid on arrival PCR TEST, they asked if I have reg. on the switch health website, I said YES. So I went to switch health (representing TORONTO) to do the COVID-19 TEST. Afterwards, I.was directed to go get my COVID-19 TEST KIT

Note:
If you are landing at TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT (YYZ) make sure you reg. at the switch health website so you won't waste your time at the airport.

I connected to their Wifi and got across to my Airbnb host, cos she say make I call her if I don finish with Border officials.

My Airbnb host (a Philippine Woman) come use her OCHARA TEAR RUBBER TOYOTA JEEP come pick me for Airport go the Airbnb Location. She was very nice and welcoming, we gist small sha, and i related to her wella as if we don know each other before, she was enjoying our convo all through, me jz dey use some Geography totori her. We got to the Airbnb Location & she showed me around, her place make sense, bed dey bounce wella, WiFi dey (the speed no be here at all, I come use style remember my GLO network for Naija, wey I go Switch-On the WiFi, climb tree up go out am to receive fast network reception).

So far so good, Quarantine as being dope, na one Israeli guy dey the other apartment , he is fully vaccinated but was staying in a room in that same Airbnb. The guy sha help me change small money, rate was dope sha, come help me buy Groceries. He talk say if I need anything make I holla at him.

All I can say is, GOD TOOK PERFECT CONTROL, journey was long but amazing

I MUST say ORILE EDE CANADA is damn amazing" no fire brigade approach from anyone, no body blood dey hot for here. Everyone looks cool , respectful and ready to help, everything na SEMPE SEMPE for here.

I pray for everyone awaiting a decision from IRCC, your Canadian Dreams would come to reality soon & very soon!!!

Peace!!!

Thanks for the awesome feedback

- He is a fresh graduate
- No NYSC
- Graduated 2020
- No work experience in Business Management
- That’s his field of interest, he wants to build his career in that line.

You are welcome Chief.

Hmmm, based on the above response, i seriously doubt if the bolded is possible.

To Get the admission sef would likely be impossible cos the Admission committee of the school he wants to apply to for the Business Management program would be expecting the academic transcript of an applicant who has a Business degree, which would show that he has done business related courses as an Undergraduate.
or
Someone with a non-business degree but has Work Experience in Business Management. Such person would be expected to show his nonbusiness Transcript, his Canadian Style résumé indicating that he has work experience in Business Management or business related field and also a Cover Letter for admission indicating that he/she would be a best fit for the business management program despite having a nonbusiness degree but with a Business Management work experience.

Even if the admission falls through (luckily), if he applies for a STUDY VISA with such admission (LOA), he would likely not be able to convince a Visa Officer about his purpose of Visit to Canada (To study), cos the Study Visa Application of a Graduate of Biochemistry with no work experience in Business Management and wants to go for a PG. Cert in Business Management in Canada would be very open to scrutiny, and this scrutiny by a Visa officer can lead to serious red flags on that kind of Visa Application.

In his best interest and to play safe, he should go for a Biochemistry Related program PG. Cert program that would be a very good Academic and Career Progression for him.

Yes its real; I know someone who's in the US at the moment

thanks

I have deferred my admission to winter intake due to late response from IRCC since lectures starts 7th Sept. New LOA has been issued by my school.
Should I upload new LOA via Webform now or after PPR?
Thanks as I await response from Gurus here

Don't be like that bro. There is power in the tongue. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dream. If tired of fighting standing, then fight on your knees. They must give us the response we want and not the one they feel like. Keep declaring it and see it happen.

EmeeNaka:
No news at all. I have given up.

theboyy:
If someone submits additional documents to ircc through webform, does if affect the persons application time?

if it's a replacement document, it will surely prolong it especially when they didn't request it. Any essential document you sent there will likely affect the processing time But don't spare the rod and spoil the child. Just weigh your options. Be sure what you are sending is an important document.

What God cannot do does not exist. Don't give up

For me i advice you wait for decision first, when PPR drop, you send the web formform just to notify them of your decision to differ as a result of the delay in IRCC decision.

Thanks.

As it has been mentioned on this platform , $10,000 CAD is the minimum, if you have more than that, you would be required to declare it at the Port of Exit (Nigeria) and the Point of Entry (Canada). Though international student are to go with $4,000 CAD which is gotten via PTA (Personal Travel Allowance) from their Nigerian bank.

I wasn't able to get PTA from the bank cos my ticket was ONE WAY. According to CBN policy, to get PTA you must have a return ticket.

To the bolded, i kitted up like Arnold Schwarzenegger (COMMANDO) , and i wore that NYSC kind of waist bag, that's where the 8K USD was chilling, anywhere i go, the money goes.

What if school is contacted and were told my name not for fall intake? Eligibility has not started on my portal oo

Godmakesking:
For me i advice you wait for decision first, when PPR drop, you send the web formform just to notify them of your decision to differ as a result of the delay in IRCC decision.
