Hi guys, it's PPR for me and medical request for my toddler (I don't know why they have requested for a fresh Medicals for her but we go do am)


2nd time applicant

1st application July 2021
Refusal cake in on 6th October 2021 after waiting. I had to defer my admission. I had already started classes oo. The bad news came in in the middle of a particular class and I want blank for 10 minutes, exited the zoom class and cried to my satisfaction. I ordered GCMS Notes same day through a friend in Canada who was following up with me on my application.

GCMS came after 1 month and I realized IRCC messed up my application.

They mentioned sponsor when I didn't have any.
They said I had lump sum when I showed certificate of fixed deposit and told them the date it liquidated.
They didn't even acknowledge the 45% upfront school fees I paid (I think they already made a decision before I sent in the payment receipt)


I had to contact of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant after my GCMS came in because I wasn't ready for the emotional stress of opening and refreshing IRCC portal and my email for update, he scheduled a zoom meeting with me and after reading through my GCMS Notes and listening to me, he said he'll have recommended a JR because the refusal grounds were baseless however, to save me time, money and stress, he recommended a reapplication.

I lost interest in online classes so I kuku deferred my admission.
I don move out funds buy market from fixed deposit sef so I kuku defer.

I started working on my POF immediately. I ensured large sums entered my personal account from everywhere and moved out and targeted March for submission of a fresh Application.

CAC documents of Business

COF of landed property


The Registered Canada Immigration Consultant asked me questions like he was a Visa officer, I got tired sef. We exchanged lots of mails.

I'm grateful to God for this success. In deed, God has done this and I am in awe. Who could have imagined that my application would take 19 days and 13 working days?

I had already started Sweden application to schools sef. I had planned to apply to UK schools in October but transcript wahala didn't help matters so I left it.

I will advise your spouse sends mail to an MP of the province he/she is resident in explaining EMOTIONALLY how the delay is especially when a child is the subject here. You do this before disturbing IRCC.

The MP will help ginger the visa officer handling the app. Who in turn will most definitely send an update maybe requesting for a consent letter from the other spouse in Nigeria(a maybe).

Try this and see what will happen.

Thanks for your response. She is still in Nigeria, to start school in September 2022. What does MP stand for?

I applied on behalf of my wife for Study Permit and SOWP for myself. Although, we will be travelling with our child, we didn't apply for her since she's a US citizen (we plan to do it at POE). However, we made it clear that she will accompany my wife, hence, the need for me to also go with them.

One critical thing I would like to mention is that the cash available was only sufficient for the first year, hence I had to explain how I plan to pay for the second year being a co-sponsor.


Thanks to all contributing members of the platform as the information shared was extremely helpful.

For everyone waiting, it will end in praise!!!!!

Congratulations on your successful application. I intend to apply for me and my kids. One of my kids is a US citizen. Applying for him was confusing for me. Is it the procedure to apply for a child who is a US citizen at the point of entry into Canada. If yes, is his US passport sufficient to board a plane from Nigeria to Canada? How were you able to compress your documents? As for me, the time I spent compressing, deleting, re-compressing my documents was more than filling the pdf forms.

Thanks

PPR Alert! (11 days)

I applied on behalf of my wife for Study Permit and SOWP for myself. Although, we will be travelling with our child, we didn't apply for her since she's a US citizen (we plan to do it at POE). However, we made it clear that she will accompany my wife, hence, the need for me to also go with them.

Hi guys, it's PPR for me and medical request for my toddler (I don't know why they have requested for a fresh Medicals for her but we go do am)


2nd time applicant

1st application July 2021
Refusal cake in on 6th October 2021 after waiting. I had to defer my admission. I had already started classes oo. The bad news came in in the middle of a particular class and I want blank for 10 minutes, exited the zoom class and cried to my satisfaction. I ordered GCMS Notes same day through a friend in Canada who was following up with me on my application.

GCMS came after 1 month and I realized IRCC messed up my application.

They mentioned sponsor when I didn't have any.
They said I had lump sum when I showed certificate of fixed deposit and told them the date it liquidated.
They didn't even acknowledge the 45% upfront school fees I paid (I think they already made a decision before I sent in the payment receipt)


I had to contact of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant after my GCMS came in because I wasn't ready for the emotional stress of opening and refreshing IRCC portal and my email for update, he scheduled a zoom meeting with me and after reading through my GCMS Notes and listening to me, he said he'll have recommended a JR because the refusal grounds were baseless however, to save me time, money and stress, he recommended a reapplication.

I lost interest in online classes so I kuku deferred my admission.
I don move out funds buy market from fixed deposit sef so I kuku defer.

I started working on my POF immediately. I ensured large sums entered my personal account from everywhere and moved out and targeted March for submission of a fresh Application.



2nd Application Timeline

Application submitted 16th March 2022
Biometric confirmation 16th March 2022
Correspondence Letter 4th April 2022

Documents submitted:
Full tuition school fees payment evidence from school (32k CAD)
School admission letter
Person Account MyBankStatement showing 5.9M
Police clearance certificate
IELTS general result
WAEC result
Student copy of transcript
Digital passport
Letter of introduction by employer
Letter from employer showing amount and date my salaries were paid in the last 4 months.
Leave authorization from employer
International passport (mine and my toddler)



Home ties document submitted

Company account MyBankStatement showing closing balance of 28M and 6 months transaction of over 170M
CAC documents of Business
Company tax clearance certificate
Personal tax clearance certificate
Marriage certificate
Other children's birthday certificate
Husband's international passport
COF of landed property


The Registered Canada Immigration Consultant asked me questions like he was a Visa officer, I got tired sef. We exchanged lots of mails.

I'm grateful to God for this success. In deed, God has done this and I am in awe. Who could have imagined that my application would take 19 days and 13 working days?

I had already started Sweden application to schools sef. I had planned to apply to UK schools in October but transcript wahala didn't help matters so I left it.

I pray the God who did mine would do yours too. Do not give up.

The choice is yours, you can decide to apply for his study permit here or wait until you get to the POE.
With a US passport, your child can enter a lot of countries without visa, and Canada is one of such countries. Yes, his US passport is sufficient to board a plane. The document compression was the hardest part for me, I initially started the application with the new portal, which is 2MB limit, before I found out I was using the wrong portal. SOWP can only be applied for via the old portal. I use a mac, which made it slightly easier to work with pdf documents, however, the sites below helped quite a bit. If you have a lot of documents, I would suggest you use the old portal.

For your child that’s a US citizen, did she do medicals since she’ll be staying in Canada for more than 6 months?
