It's PPR for me and my 3kids. It has been 9months of waiting but at God's time he made it beautiful. My story is loading starting from getting ITA with SINP and a small error nullified my application. I had to withdraw a bit from the group because if work and mental health. But I cannot but come back to say thanks to everyone. I learnt so much here. Will drop timeline soon. Still crafting it.
May 14th 2021 till Feb 10th 2022.
Glory to Jesus Christ!

Raphelchuks:
Not too sure of your opinion. Whether additional documents will be significant or not, applicants should do the needful.

Good evening house. I hope we are doing well.

I have a friend who wants to come into Canada as a student, she is to be sponsored by her company. She has all documents which includes letter of sponsorship from company, company ID card, employment letter. But one thing she doesn’t have is the payslip from the company, she said agents said she needs that or her application won’t be approved.
Can someone please shed more light on this. Thank you.
Regards.

Please check the program website. Fall 2022 is waitlisted and they should open January 2023 admission by March ending/early April. The program admission is competitive. So check the website and make sure you meet and gather its requirements if you are interested.

About masters, sure you will be able to use it to get masters admision as Bachelors degree is usually a requirement for that. However, you should not go for that striaght after you Bachelors. Get your 2-3 years PGWP and work. Canadian employers value experience more than education. However, they are more generous to fresh bachelor's and diploma graduate. Get the experience first and you can go back for your masters later. All the best.

You already have these three schools on your list, check the courses they offer to know if they have your intended course or any related one. If they do, copy their email from their website and send a mail to them, attaching your result/credentials and asked them if you would be eligible to study that very course with your result in their school. They will reply you, whether you fit in or not.

Google more schools also that have that same course and send them mails using thesame pattern of communication as you did with the above schools. I hope is clear to you?

Ok...thank you!...this way I won't waste my time

dikadubai:

Anosky:
Hi guys, please which IELTS method is more flexible; Online Based IELTS or Paper Based IELTS? Kindly share opinion based on experience thanks.

Harold4lyf:
Yes it is clear and all three schools have my intended course of study which is Marine Biology/Sciences....but did you submit a transcript....I don't have a transcript because I write WAEC in 2017 from SS2 as opposed to SS3....is this going to be an issue

Anosky:
Please guys which do you think is more flexible? Computer based IELTS or Paper Based Exam.. Please kindly assist based on experience thanks.

zxxtx:
Please what browser are you guys using to access the portal, my own keeps refreshing and taking me to the home page when I login

Osemigho:
I assumed you are single since you mention you are 22. Maybe you are another person. Apologies if that is the case.

About the email, I don't respond because I currently cannot commit to time and effort required for private mentoring. I just respond here to the best of my knowledge.

You should get the admission, but no one can guarantee your visa. I hope you have good sponsorship and enough money to cover for your family. As others have advised, aviod taking your husband and leaving your children. There is no good excuse for that. All the best.

No

Good afternoon house, long post alert!!!

My journey to getting SP started in August 2020 and has now ended in praise to the glory of God. I will be detailed in this post hoping that someone can learn from it, same way I learnt a lot from other people's post on this platform. To the gurus @frankrobbn, @justmellow and others, I hail oh...
See timeline below:

1st Application
- Submitted on Aug. 28th 2020
- Biometrics done on Sept. 2nd 2020
- Refused on Sept. 12th 2020
Resaon: Purpose of visit
In gcms note: VO stated the following:
1. Study gap (despite the fact that I'm studying an MBA with a specialization in Professional Sales and Business Development) and I have over 10yrs of work experience in the business field, out of which about 7yrs is in sales/business development till the time of the application.
2. Age which was 34 at the time
3. Fact that I got a US tourist visa in Jan. 2017, had a child in the US with the visa in Jan. 2018 and my visa renewal was refused in Oct. 2019. Na so dem write oh and no be sey I owe money oh, all relevant documents were provided and I visited the US in June 2017 before having the baby there in 2018 but as Trump no gree renew the visa in 2019, wetin we go do?

2nd Application
- Submitted on October 28th 2020 (This was before I received the gcms note because I was trying to meet up with January 2021 start date but thankfully, the issues raised were already addressed with proper documentation because I had joined this platform by then. Thanks to all the gurus). The only document I didn't add was "Change of Intent" email that I sent to the US Embassy in Nigeria after I decided to use my tourist Visa for child birth.
- Upfront medical passed on Nov. 20th 2020
- NSE request letter received on Dec. 1st 2020
- NSE requests submitted on Dec. 13th 2020 (used this opportunity to include the left out document and carefully explained it in the brief LOE submitted with the request.
- Refusal letter came on January 24th 2021
Reasons: purpose of visit, ties to Canada, financial status/assets, language test.
Gcms note stated the following:
1. Application pre-review comments stated that I had a child in the US and my visa was not renewed afterwards, hence, my intent to study was in doubt. I was livid seeing this because an application had just been wrongly judged even before going through the facts and documents provided.
2. The VO's comment was practically thesame as the pre-review comment so it became clear to me that the refusals were purely based on bias because of the child birth in the US and the visa renewal refusal - see wetin Trump cause.

By this time, I knew it would take more than a re-application to tackle and clear the bias. I needed to do more so I decided to do a JR.

- JR commenced in March 2021
- My lawyer had 30days to file all documents
- All documents submitted by April 2021
- IRCC correspondence had 30days to respond
- Response letter received in May 2020 and stated that they will not do any filling but they retained the right to file if the Judge decides to hear the case. (Sounded like they were trying to buy time but I didn't find it funny at all).
It was a long wait before the Federal court judge responded

- Sept. 15th 2021 - Judge responded that based on documents provided in the application, he can't understand why the application was refused and scheduled a hearing for Dec. 8th 2021.
- IRCC correspondence conceded upon receiving the judge's response, requested to settle out of court.
- They decided to set aside the refusal decision, reopen my application and have another VO review it. I'll also be allowed to submit updated IMM forms, LOA and any other documents I deemed fit to support my application.
- At this point, my lawyer advised that I should pay a substantial part if my school fees if not all and I did that.
- Also, I had renewed my UK visa for 2years while in JR process cos I was planning a vacation and I included this to show that I do not have any immigration issues. Also added (as argued by my lawyer in her submission) that the US refusal was based on the then US government's ban on African countries including Nigeria and not because I did anything wrong.
- This time, I didn't submit an LOE to explain my conditions but a statutory declaration with bullet point to address every concern/explain every point and it was notarized and sealed by the Canadian lawyer.

Application reopening timeline:
- Profile update on Sept. 30th 2021
- Request for updated documents on Nov. 3rd 2021
- Documents submitted on Dec. 1st 2021
- Medical request received on Dec. 8th 2021 (exactly 1 week from the date of submission)
- Medicals done on Dec. 20th 2021
- Medicals passed on Dec. 29th 2021
- PPR received on Jan. 12th 2022
- Passport sent through DHL to VFS Lagos on Jan. 20th 2022 (I was out of the country when I got the PPR, submitted as soon as I returned)
- Received 4 emails on Jan 24th 2022 confirming receipt of my documents in VFS Abuja office and confirming it's been sent to IRCC office
- Conterfoil and LOI dropped on Jan. 26th 2022
- Also received 4 emails confirming that my decision envelope is ready for collection on same 26th
- Received a mail confirming that my decision envelope has been received by VFS Lagos on Jan. 28th 2022
- DHL delivered my passport in the morning, today Jan. 31st 2022.

N.B: Compare the responses on Jan. 24th 2021 and Jan. 24th 2022. In exactly 1 year, I was smiling about something that got me worried and angry. Stay with God regardless of your current situation, He is too faithful to fail and He loves us too much to ignore.

All thanks to God, it has ended in praise...

I wish all PPR hopefuls all the very best and reasons to smile as God fulfills your heart desires this week and beyond.
