Responded via NSE platform: July 5 (uploaded Letter of Explanation with letter of English proficiency, and updated personal bank statement).

Documents submitted:
CV
Recommendation letter from my academic supervisors (1st and 2nd degree)—Both hammering on the need of my proposed PhD program and how it would greatly benefit Nigeria.
Certificates and transcripts.
Letter of support from my brother (He expressly noted the amount he transferred to my account, 2M).
Letter of Attestation from my parents.
Picture with my parents (recent).
Land documents (Agreement).

POF:
Funding Letter.
Personal bank statement (4 months, with history of 3M).
Brother’s bank statement (4 months, foreign account).
Brother’s pay slip.

The wait was really daunting and exhausting. At some points, I was overwhelmed and doubting my application - It was after I submitted my application I join this thread, then, I began to raise webforms and SHOOTING EMAILS to Nairobi to further fine tune my application based on the recommendation and advice from the gurus here. More so, I PRAYED AND FASTED so that the VOs should overlook my mistakes�

As at this time last year, I cant imagine that I could be at this level, in fact, I was about giving up on scholarship after receiving several love letters from Professors. Then, I give it another trial this year—I am heading to UBC for a PhD program with funding. (B.Tech 2014; MSc 2019).

To God be thy glory.
Great is thy faithfulness.

To all PPR Hopefuls: You will get it very soon by the grace of God—Your labour will not be in vain. The mercy and the favour of God will envelope your application. God in His infinite mercies will cover your mistakes and color your efforts. The joy will go round. We all testify to the goodness of God and his name will be magnified. He will surely come through for everyone. He’s a faithful God: He thou has promised; he’s faithful and will make it happen very soon. It is well!

Thank you Everyone, God bless you���
WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST!!!

Congratulations !!!

I am not a guru
I will say no two applications are the same, but you have to write a convincing SOP highlighting reasons with pictorial evidence why you will be going for an advanced diploma instead of m.sc in micro biology.

Secondly, transfer some money to your personal account because Visa officers want to see an unencumbered funds. For the GIC pay something slightly higher than the required funds, lets say $12k.

Lastly, your age or marital status does not matter, what matters is your ability to genuinely convince the V.O. So take time to craft a detailed SOP. Good luck

Teemenzo:
Amen thank you, i appreciate.

First of all thank you for your answer
Please what sort of pictorial evidence are we talking about here. Picture of me working in IT ? I actually choose IT/tech because I have more experience in the field also technology is taking over the world and more job opportunities. Plus I graduated with a 3rd class so there is no possibility for MSc microbiology.

Can give you the email to send to Nairobi?

Thanks!

Faithyyyyy:
For those who have waited three or 4 months especially April and May applicants you can do the following :

1. Send Nairobi office emails at least twice a week with the topic URGENT UPDATE ON STUDY PERMIT . then enquire about your application status reminding them your classes will be starting soon for those in September intake.
For those deferring till January still go ahead and enquire about your application status.

2. When sending emails, do it early like 6am so it's amongst the first emails they get and do it Mondays and Thursdays so you keep reminding them. The worst you will get is an approval or a refusal so you know what to do next.

3. Always attach additional supporting documents i.e school fees payment receipts, enrollment forms or anything to help your case be processed faster.

4. Be very polite in your emails infact thank them for the wonderful job they are doing in ensuring students get their study permits on time .

Nairobi office does respond and if you keep at it, you will get attended to faster than waiting in the pool of thousands of Candidates.
For every time we sent an email we got updates either on the account or via email that the application was under active review and we would be advised on the next steps soon. eligibility started after email was sent, medical request came within an hour of sending email, ppr came within one hour of sending the third e medical and email enquiry so I know it works

I look forward to hearing lots of positive news from those who begin this process on Monday through Thursday.

It shouldn't take an hour if you don't have health problems.

Please those that did medical with Q-Life Lagos, how long did it take?

@Davidganna10

Picture of you works or sites where it can be found.
Picture of your office or work station.
Pictures of your transactions with clients it can be a WhatsApp messages or other social media messages.
If you are a freelancer you can screenshot your page, showing the amount of work you have done, pending projects and earnings.
If your business have a social media presence you can as well link it.
Good luck.

Hello House.
I did an upfront medical Examination and it was updated to pass on July 2nd. I got a medical request from IRCC on 1st of September. I raised a webform to upload the evidence that I have done it as upfront on September 1st. No update nor acknowledgement up till now. I'm confused.
Please what's your advice?

Check with the place you did your medicals to see if they uploaded it. Also did you get any update on your medicals from IRCC? It should have been updated to passed by now.

I started reading for mine 2 days before the test and I did okay. Got a 7.5. You can definitely ace it! You did it once already so you know how it works.

Send several mails to nairobi until you get a response.

I’m in the same place as you. I already started looking and applying to schools for January. I don’t know how that’ll work but just keeping my options open. Hopefully somebody with more experience will answer your question.

Dear Gilb,

Below are my comments from experience.
1. Program and level of study.
It would have been wiser to do a post graduate diploma in IT seeing that you already have a bachelors degree in another field. Your additional qualifications and certifications in IT can help buttress your need for a PGD preferably one with a co-op. You can arguably present a solid case with your source of employment and company documents.
Proof of funds .
I should guess your one year tuition is about $16,000 and you have paid one semester tuition.
This means your whole program amounts to $48,000 for 3 years, living expenses for 1st year $10,000.
from the information provided you have about 10m for the process in your account after deposit of $8300.
10m black market rate is about $22,000 canadian only . This will show you have only $30,000 for the proposed study of three years whilst first year tuition and living expenses alone is $26,000 plus.
You do not want to put yourself in a dicey situation as it would seem your company would go bankrupt if you use all the money for your studies and if you are able to pay for one year, with your business closed while you are away, how do you propose to continue the two years without working in Canada or becoming a destitute student ?

these are just a few points to consider before proceeding with the application. you may need to reevaluate properly . A PGD is wiser and less expensive and your finances may be able to cover that.
For travel history and home ties, you would have to work on that convincingly seeing that you will be folding up your business and using its funds to study unless you have a staff strength with proof who can run it in your absence.

Regards

Hi ppr hopefuls!
The below is from a friend of mine.

Paper application kwa, in 2021, nawa oo. Nothing person no go hear untop all these agent matter. Flee from the agent, it's obvious he's clueless. Find a way to get your docs from him, u are better off running ur application urself with all the info on this forum, u can as well enlist the help of any of the gurus here if ur profile is complicated.

Good morning everyone
Thanks for helping me out with IOM Abuja booking.
I still have an issue, I did the booking for my son and I, using my passport number for both bookings. My son's passport is yet to be ready but will be ready before the scheduled date for the medicals.

I feel waiting for his passport before booking for medicals will delay my visa application process.
