Good evening house. I decree we shall have loads of PPR tomorrow. My friend, a Nigerian residing in the Gambia just got his PPR this morning. He had initially applied from Nigeria in July because he thought that could give him an edge since it's his home country, but unfortunately he was refused. He reapplied again from the Gambia (a legal resident) early October and got his PPR this morning without any significant changes from his previous application.I'm just Baffled and he was actually surprised on why he was rejected in his home country and accepted in a foreign land. To the gurus in the house ,What could be reason ? Just curious

Learner247:
Good day house.

I intend to sponsor myself for my MBA program. I paid the deposit fee already, and got my LOA just 24th of Dec.
I started putting money together late last month but still deployed some funds into building my office space here. So, at the moment, my MBA funds account only has a balance of about N5m.
I have some contracts we are working on at the moment and will be completed by February and March, 2022 at this time I would get my balance (I have invoices, purchase order and signed contracts to validate all the above). I have personal assets: vehicles, built house, office equipment, other landed properties and fixed contracts that fetch funds annually (I have proof of all these).

Now my question is this, do I go ahead and submit my application or do I just wait till say 1st week of February when I must have added significant cash value to the MBA programme savings fund? I am to resume in Summer.

Attention: @makano et.,al

Apologies for the long epistle pls.

House kindly respond to this please.

Congratulations to all who received their PPRs!

To all waiting, it will end in praise

Hello Everyone! Kindly respond to my question below:

Bros!

I have a quick question about the new CBN eFORM-A for tuition payment. Kindly advise if it is still advisable to visit the bank and let the bank staff process the transaction or it is better to fill the eFORM-A in the comfort of one's room and wait for the outcome? Please, I will be expecting your quick response and insights from others who might have passed through this experience. Thanks.[/quote]

pufframmy:

Thank you very much for your response. ECO bank is the bank where I did my BVN, and they mentioned that it seems the BVN update platform is not updating changes for now, after trying to make changes several times. I don't know if this is true and if someone else has been able to link their BVN to their email address recently.

I love this

Dear Sir/Madam,

I, XXXXXX, would like to express my sincere thanks to you for my visa application perusal. After graduating, I started working and it has been almost five years now after which I have planned to pursue my master’s course to enhance my career graph and if possible, contribute a little towards to the growth of India. India is a growing country, and though we have some of the great institutions for higher studies, I wish to gain global exposure and earn an international degree from Canada. This international program will not only help me in having better career opportunities but it will also evolve me as an individual. Being an average student throughout, I was always fascinated by logic and fundamentals. I now intend to explore fresh avenues in Strategic Global Business Management through a higher education program. I have applied for May 2021 intake and got a letter of acceptance from Conestoga College.

Personal, Academic, and Professional Background

Hailing from an Indian background, my family comprises four members: my father, mother, sister, and me. My father is a businessman who trades in hardware products, and my mother is a homemaker. My sister is currently in the Tata Consultancy Services. Being supported and motivated by my parents and mentors, I always believe that nothing is impossible for those passionate and committed to achieving what they think. They have always encouraged me in rising up in my professional career.

On an academic front, I have been presented with enough opportunities that have pushed me out of my comfort zone and have helped me grow into bigger shoes. I was a curious student from the beginning with a bent on having practical experiences rather than digging deep into the theories. After high school, I chose science for my intermediate studies, and thereafter, I secured a seat in XX College of Engineering, XXXXXXX University, to pursue a bachelor of Technology in Computer Science. My graduation equipped me with sound technical and analytical skills through extensive classroom learning and project works. Due to some critical illness, I could not complete my graduation, and the year was wasted because of that health havoc. After completing my graduation in 2016, I got a job as a Business Analyst in Global Station Net. I have been working at XXXX since 2016, and in the last five years, I have learned a lot during different projects and assignments that came my way.

Now I wish to have a master’s degree to enhance my knowledge of business management to have a better growth trajectory and grab opportunities to have my own start-up in India. The government of India is also providing a favorable ecosystem for start-ups with its aggressive campaign of “Atm Nirbhar Bharat” which means Self-Dependent India, during the COVID19 Pandemic. India has great potential start-ups, and I aspire to work in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi, or Bangalore, India. After working for few years on some Indian Start-up, I would like to explore something of my own, and this would be my biggest dream come true. In order to pursue my aim, I have given the IELTS exam and scored Overall 6.5 Bands with individual scores, 7.5 Bands Listening, 6.5 Bands Reading, 6.0 Bands Writing, 6.5 Bands Speaking.

Why Conestoga College?

Conestoga College is one of the best platforms to master advanced professional skills in Canada. Going through the review-aggregator websites, I have come to know about the excellent academic infrastructure in this institution. Particularly, international students find a supportive environment here. The course at Conestoga College deals with all the aspects of Project Management comprehensively; from project goals to requirements, various leadership methods which can be used to resolve conflicts and issues, how one can develop a project plan which meets stakeholder’s requirements, and analysis of financial information. Moreover, it offers career-focused education that provides theoretical and hands-on training for professional success. These were the factors that I was looking forward to as we do not have such industry-oriented courses offered here in India. Moreover, I am impressed with the campus life and amenities that students can avail.



The course curriculum is strategically designed to offer a global business perspective of the subjects like Accounting and Finance, Marketing and Sales, Supply Chain and Operations, and Human Resources. After covering the basic business fundamentals, this course will help me to learn core business and leadership skills, which is what I am most interested in, because of the immense knowledge and personal development it has to offer me. The curriculum seems to be perfect for me, as I will strengthen my management skills. My academic efforts have always been in line with my personal and professional aspirations and therefore opting for the master’s program from the best institution is the next ideal launchpad for me. Academically, Conestoga College will fulfill all my expectations. Moreover, the course is well-aligned with the latest trends in the industry. The lectures, seminars, and conferences that are organized in the college from time to time will further bolster my profile. All these aspects have collectively intrigued me to make my decision. By pursuing this course, I firmly believe that I will be able to achieve my professional goals.

Why Canada?

I have always intended to pursue my post-graduation abroad because of the broader perspectives it brings. Since I wished to study in an ameliorating environment with impeccable quality of education at affordable rates, I researched and found Canada to be the ideal destination. Canada is a nation filled with an excellent education, state-of-the-art infrastructure, exceptionally good living standards, and a friendly environment, attracting thousands of enthusiasts every year to be a part of its cultural diversity. Moreover, the education here is not only globally recognized but is also affordable in sharp contrast to other educational destinations such as the USA, Australia, and the UK. The programs encompassed by the universities here focus more on practical exposure, which is not the case of the programs offered by Indian Universities. On the completion of the course, I will be benefitted as I would be able to grasp industry-oriented knowledge. Above all, the country is a melting pot of cultures, opening a vast spectrum of opportunities for me to enhance my networking skills and build lasting relationships. All these factors have cemented my choice to pursue higher education in Canada.



Future Plans

After completing my higher education in Canada, I aspire to get work exposure in India’s top-rated multinational start-ups like Zomato, Uber, Swiggy, Oyo, etc. I am sure that the chosen degree program will help me improve on personal and professional fronts and will make me capable of taking up better positions ahead in my home country. This aspiration will allow me to work precisely not only professionally but also personally and help me take care of my family and parents residing in India with me. As my family is my biggest asset, I am forever indebted to my parents for giving me the freedom and the exposure to find my ground and fulfill my dreams.

Expenses

I belong to a well-educated business-class family of India which is financially secure and my father is sponsoring all the expenses. My parents have adequate investments and my four years of savings together are more than sufficient to support my study and living expenses in Canada (relevant documents and bank account details are attached for your reference). Additionally, I have already deposited CAD $ _____ towards the fee for the first and deposited CAD $ _____ towards my living expenses into the GIC account with Bank Name (GIC slip enclosed). The transcript of the same has been attached alongside this application for your kind reference.

Conclusion

At last, it is my humble request from the visa officer to please assess my details once again for evaluation of my profile and help me in getting the Canadian Study Permit. I have complete faith in your judgment, so I hope I will be given a chance to start my new journey, to exposure, dreams, and growth, which all start from my global degree in strategic management.

All the necessary documents have been attached for your reference. I would like to thank you for a thorough and patient perusal of my application.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXX

Khormzy1:
Good evening
Please is there anything like private hostels in Canada that someone can stay in if they just recently entered Canada?
It must not be normal apartment just hostel

Yes, there are hall residences on campus but always very pricey thats why most international students go for apartments off campus.

Majorly, a shared apartment is a good way to start when you are new, then you can decide to move to somewhere else later when you get a grip of the enviroment. It also depends on your budget becuase you will need money for lot of running cost

You can check apartments close to your school. ( kijiji.com is your plug) but please dont pay any money to anyone till you get to Canada and see the person physically.

Your school is meant to issue you something called a travel document. It states that you are a student and enrolled and they are expecting in canada to start or resume classes, it would have your student i.d, name, course etc.. It may be asked for by the cbsa officer

Am not happy Ethopian airline didn't allow me fly cause of an enrollment letter ,please someone should help with all docs he used in flying via ethopian airline,have weighed and paid all my excesses I had to reschedule my flight and book another covid test

I linked mine on the 23rd and it reflected on the 24th. However, I went back on 29th to link my new phone number and it hasn't reflected yet.

Thank you very much for your response. ECO bank is the bank where I did my BVN, and they mentioned that it seems the BVN update platform is not updating changes for now, after trying to make changes several times.

I just remembered I started using UBA before ECO bank. Maybe that is the bank I registered my BVN. I will try that.

Let you Dad transfer and do a gift deed letter for you.

The guru in the house will advice further.

Have you been able to get an answer to this?

Most times your file may be lying there unattended, but when you request a Gcms note it helps them go through your file again and in the process they review your application. I have a friend whose application has stayed for 9 months, without any update, he applied for Gcms note and 2 days later he got his BVL and PPR. When his Gcms notes came, he saw he had an earlier approval but didn't get any mails until they saw his Gcms request. So yes it helps your file get attention. Apply for one ASAP.

Viewoliver:
Hello!
Compliments of the season.

Please I need to be clarified.
Are trying to say that requesting for Gcms notes can prompt the VO handling one's application to hasten in the processing and making of decision on visa application that has passed the normal processing time?
Thanks for your quick response.

Happy New Year in advance to everyone. God bless us all. Our good news will be announced very soon in Jesus name.

Hello pls

Example: N3m lump sum transferred to my account on 2021-11-21 was a proceed from a property I sold to support my study. Sales agreement/receipt is attached (see annex Bleep; appendix yyy etc for your review.)

Please is has anyone used the e-form A for Seneca fee payment via flywire.

Please if you have please share me the process.

Good day,

July applicant here still waiting for a decision to be made on my application.
I sent an email to the three Nairobi email addresses today and it says “message bounced by administrator” despite the fact that I sent the same email addresses a mail yesterday. Is this a sign for me to stop sending emails or what? Anybody had the same issue please?

The God of perfection has perfected it.............Glory be to Jesus...PPR just dropped for my son's visit visa
A request letter came in on the 29th for a parental letter of consent from his dad and a copy of biodata page, sent it the same day.
Everyone waiting, God will definitely grant you success in all your applications.
Thank you everyone,
Thank you Nairaland.........
God bless Nigeria....
God bless Canada.....

PPR ALERT.................
Everybody help me to shout hallelujah to Jesus, the King of kings and the Lord of lords...................... Eledumare, Alpha & Omega, the great mighty king, the God that can never fail...
I got a mail early this morning by 4:16am............ and behold it was PPR........... I started Ph.D program fall term remotely.
21 weeks and 3 days of waiting, he finally gave me a new song............ Indeed what God cannot do does not exist my people..
I contacted an MP in October and the response I got was that my application was complex, it needed additional review. God proved himself as the only one that can do it, not by the documents I submitted, but the divine mercy he showed unto me.
For everyone waiting, God will give you songs of praise as he did for me...
I am awaiting my son's approval, as I trust God for divine perfection.
Thank you to everyone on this platform, you are indeed a pleasant people..............
