Please is anyone here already in Usak, i would really appreciate your quidiance on how to get settled in and give me a well structured financial plan.

Please, How can i use form A to make payment for University of Saskatchewan, at CBN rate.

Hi Hardey144,

Please have you gotten PPR? Cos your enquiries seem to be about different stages, first you are looking for how to pay for your fees, secondly you are requesting for info about peeps already on ground one should come before the other. I will advise you focus your attention on the stage you are now and ask questions to help you surmount that particular stage.

It is not compulsory to submit the valuation documents, but you can add it if it gives recent value of the property so the VO can know the worth of the property.

Thank you. There are no notes.
Osemigho:


Review required suggest the first person need a second eye to check your application again. There is a note section. Is there anything there from the first reviewer?

AirFrance, I just confirmed now….I don’t need Covid test….try and check your airline travel requirements.

Please how can I communicate to you? Do they ask for enrollment letters still? So one no longer need Covid PCR test and both in Nigeria and Canada they didn't ask for it?

My Longggggggg PPPPPPPPPPPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Gist!!!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I honestly don't know where to start but I'll sha start somewhere. It's going to be long but hopefully, you'll enjoy reading it cheesy

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for the Likes, Shares and "Congratulations" messages that filled my mentions. I pray and hope that we all celebrate with everyone who's expecting their PPRs on this thread very very very soon. I'm sorry I'm just dropping this, it's been an extremely exhausting week of activities for me. Now to the main gist!

The desire to travel out of the country has been burning inside of me for a long time and It has always been USA on my mind but I get discouraged and/or carried away by one thing or the other most of the time. The last attempt I gave was in 2019, I wrote and applied to few US Universities but GRE was always the culprit, so I started reading, studying and preparing so hard to write GRE with a friend. She was very determined and motivated me a lot but I just got sick of the whole thing at a time, especially because I was so busy with my businesses and I didn't have much time. BTW, I was making some money from my business that time so I was just like - 'What am I finding in USA self when I'm making a lot of money here', 'what if I get there and one white police officer shoot me or kneel down on my neck' and so on grin Village people cheesy . Gradually, the travelling to US passion disappeared and I faced my business and life here. My friend eventually wrote GRE, got admission in the US with full funding + graduate assistantship and has been in the USA since late 2019. Amazing!!! shocked

Fast forward to 2021, after I had witnessed the way the Government sprayed its citizens and denied it during the October 2020 protest, I was very sure nothing good is coming out of the country, at least not anytime soon, so I made up my mind to leave before the next election. At that time, Canada was the only country on my mind, so I started the Canada Express Entry process. I evaluated my credentials with WES, wrote IELTS and entered the pool but the FSW draws have been stopped then due to Covid19. I waited for the whole year without any draws and no solid assurance it will start anytime soon (info as at then). During the wait, my brother convinced me to go through the study route that it was faster than EE, which I'm also aware of but I knew I'd be spending a lot of money, almost four times more than I'd spend via Express entry, I was like why spend that much money via study route when my profile, credentials etc will give me good CRS scores and earn me ITA/PR via the EE route? ** Ijebu me grin After almost going bald due to the long wait, I decided to give the study route a shot in January 2022. Little did I know then that I was about to start an adventure that will be fun-filled, stressful, exhausting, tiring and at the same time, fulfilling.

January 2022, I applied to Fanshawe college free of charge via Applyboard, after submitting all my documents, they asked me for my WAEC certificate, something I didn't use throughout Uni till then, well, I quickly drove down to Osun state to collect it, my bills had accumulated in WAEC office grin but I sha paid it and collected the certificate. I uploaded it on my Applyboard dashboard and I was given admission in less than 24 hours. I was so happy when the admission letter dropped. Like play, like play, this was when I went all in for the kill... Fanshawe wanted me to pay almost $10k within 30 days, after reading the refund/withdrawal policy, I said no wahala and processed the payment via e-form A in February. Thanks a lot to Teemenzo who hinted me on a lot of things and motivated me, I just hitted him up via this thread since we're going to the same school in Canada, funny enough, we live like next street to each other without knowing cheesy so we linked up, shared experiences, encouraged ourselves and stuffs. Thanks a lot Bro, I pray and hope your PPR drops unfailingly this month. I can't wait to read your PPR gist ooh cuz you don too tryyyyyy.

Moving on, as a self employed and self sponsored applicant, I started making arrangements on how to gather all my documents, my NYSC certificate was the most difficult to get cuz I didn't collect it during my POP back then [Marlians no dey collect certificate nah grin], I had to travel to Abuja at the NYSC Headquarters to collect it, them catch different cruise with me - "you are just coming for your certificate since 1914 blah blah blah", "haa, you don finally see job, na why you remember the certificate" etc. In my mind, I was like no be una fault, na me fu*ck up. cheesy I got the Certificate and used that opportunity to undergo my medicals in Abuja (I already booked ahead).

When I got back from Abuja, I paid a guru here to write my SOP for me, he wrote a good SOP but I wasn't okay with it, I understand he wrote the normal things he's meant to write BUT my guy, "no one can write about you or hype you more than you" motivational speaker isonu grin I was like, at least, he has given me a format/layout/idea already (good part of it) so I re-wrote the SOP myself based on his structure/idea. After about 3 weeks of writing/editing, an SOP of 3 pages or so eventually became 8 pages when I finished. [Big thanks to Ominii, who reviewed the SOP for me free of charge, he pointed out a few corrections to make. I'm glad you have your PPR already as well wink See you in Canada!!!] The finished SOP was too good, my head dey always swell anytime I read am, I suppose print and frame am for my wall cheesy but unfortunately I had a virus attack after submission while looking for hacked Netflix to pass time, this rendered my PC useless and I lost all my soft copy Docs ** free things dey run belle true true embarassed * .

As a business person, it was easy to accumulate my POF, since my account always have good inflows and outflows. After getting all my documents ready, I started merging, demerging, unmerging until I got the perfect arrangement I wanted then I submitted my application on the 31st of March, 2022 (some minutes past 10PM) via the New IRCC Portal. My BIL dropped about 30 minutes later, I rushed to book my biometrics appointment, when I checked Lagos, the next available date was 2 weeks away (April 13 or so) Lagos and wahala cry , I checked Abuja and there were even slots for the next day self (friday) so I booked Biometrics in Abuja for Monday, April 4. Traveled all the way to Abuja again for Biometrics, did it on the 4th of April and was updated the same day. My upfront medical (which I did in February) was passed the next day. I logged into my portal everyday to see if there's any new changes, on April 8, 2022, my eligibility review started. Omo! This V.O dey motivate me ooh grin I was very sure my application will be fast, with the way the VO was working. Thank God I didn't wait for Lagos, Imagine!!! my eligibility review has already started on the 8th of April, while I'd have waited till April 13 thereabouts to do my Biometrics If I had insisted on doing it in Lagos. Everyday I'd read, read and read this thread until there's nothing to read again, then I'll move to the other travel threads. Na so so Canada dreams I dey dream every night until I got tired in my dreams and just took my mind off it, my application was air and water tight so sooner or later, PPR go drop grin Exactly a month after my application was submitted, I ordered GCMS notes to see the present concern of the VO, the GCMS note hasn't dropped till now (the ETA is May 30).

My brother had gotten admission in a University in British Columbia so he submitted his application on the 10th of May, he was also in the same situation I found myself in (2 weeks before he'd be able to do Biometrics in Lagos). So I advised him to go do it in Abuja. Since I also needed to take my mind off my application, I decided to go to Abuja with him, so we set out on a road trip to Abuja, drove all the way up to Abuja, was fun sha. Before leaving, my mind told me to take my passport with me just in case I get PPR but I was like 'I go need carry all my files be that, because of biometric slips and other docs' so I ignored and we set out. We got to Abuja, he did his biometrics the next day (Friday, May 13). On Saturday, we went to the market with my Big Sis (solely because I wanted to buy big travel bags), my brother discouraged me from buying the bags since I don't even have PPR yet not to talk of knowing when I'll be travelling. I insisted and bought the bags. (I get coconut head nah) smiley 2 days later, which is the next working day, at exactly 1:52pm, I got a mail from IRCC, telling me to check my application for new messages, haaa! my heart started beating so fast, I couldn't even check it, I was so scared. My brother checked it for me, it was BVL and PPPRRRRR!!! Na so the jubilation start ooh. cool Travelled back to Lagos the following day, then sent my passport and docs to Abuja VAC the day after (Wednesday). The TRV has been affixed and already on its way back with Monday as EDT. LOI dropped this morning as well. cool

1. My brother is the assistant-director in one of my companies (backed it up with Particulars of Directors, Memo, his ID card, etc.), so I stated it clearly in my SOP that he'll be the one managing both companies while I'm away. I also emphasized on the fact that the company makes a 7-figure profit monthly and he'll be sending 80% of the profits to my personal account every month (Company Docs shows 80%:20% shares) which makes it even perfect.

2. I added the ongoing building project (pics, docs, proofs, etc.) and stated it clearly that I intend to live in there upon completion, when I return from Canada after my studies.

3. I added the documents of my dad's property and stated that it is being managed and monitored by my Brothers and I.

4. I also added pics, docs and estimated value of cars & equipment for sale in my auto biz and stated that the funds from the sales will be easily accessible to me since I'll be the one to review and approve the sales.

These are the things I can remember right now and that should be all. Thank you for reading my longggggg PPR gist and timeline, I hope it'll be useful to others one way or the other. I wish everyone who is expecting a positive result soonest. I'll stay tuned to this thread and keep giving back to the community that helped me. With the massive amount of information I got here in just a few months, Omo! Travel agents got nothing on me ooh. Cheers!!!!!!!!!

Hello, thanks for the response. The course is for a year and please which type of documents do I need to provide to boost my chances of getting a visa ?

Thanks

Hi omoba thank you fo your reply I've tried the site multiple times but it keeps saying transaction declined.
I sent you a mail can you please reply.
Omoba95:
I used CIBC to make my payment & it was quite straightforward. You just fill the payment form (it’s like foreign remitta), print it with your payment reference, take it to your bank & they will tell you what to do. It took about 2/3 working days for my bank to debit me & few more days for centennial to confirm my payment, update my account summary & send a receipt.
I hope this helps.

Hello Makahoo (almost sounding like my moniker)

Like we all know, getting a Master degree admission in Canada is very competitive. Especially when an applicant isnt a 1st class graduate or high 2:1.

Keep pushing, but if you don't still get a Master degree Admission, then you can go for PGD admission which isn't difficult getting..

We both know PGD applicants also get study permit Visa steady..

Peace

Makah00:

I appreciate your time. I have gone through it,it is obvious that you must get a job offer or have a relative in the province before you can apply to them .
Since you are really interested in moving to new Brunswick , you can submit your profile to the government of New Brunswick via their website because they are currently accepting the submission of profile from interested people willing to move to their province .
If you have done your ECA, english test , have an Express entry profile and have a C.V. you can check the site out and submit a profile. When filling the form you will need to remember your noc code incase yours isn't listed in the drop down menu. Lastly at the end you would be doing a virtual interview so make sure you have a strong internet connection when filling the form.
I wish you good luck. Below is a link to submit your profile. And the good news is that you dont need to have a job offer or relation in Canada to submit a profile .

My Longggggggg PPPPPPPPPPPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Gist!!!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I honestly don't know where to start but I'll sha start somewhere. It's going to be long but hopefully, you'll enjoy reading it cheesy

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for the Likes, Shares and "Congratulations" messages that filled my mentions. I pray and hope that we all celebrate with everyone who's expecting their PPRs on this thread very very very soon. I'm sorry I'm just dropping this, it's been an extremely exhausting week of activities for me. Now to the main gist!

The desire to travel out of the country has been burning inside of me for a long time and It has always been USA on my mind but I get discouraged and/or carried away by one thing or the other most of the time. The last attempt I gave was in 2019, I wrote and applied to few US Universities but GRE was always the culprit, so I started reading, studying and preparing so hard to write GRE with a friend. She was very determined and motivated me a lot but I just got sick of the whole thing at a time, especially because I was so busy with my businesses and I didn't have much time. BTW, I was making some money from my business that time so I was just like - 'What am I finding in USA self when I'm making a lot of money here', 'what if I get there and one white police officer shoot me or kneel down on my neck' and so on grin Village people cheesy . Gradually, the travelling to US passion disappeared and I faced my business and life here. My friend eventually wrote GRE, got admission in the US with full funding + graduate assistantship and has been in the USA since late 2019. Amazing!!! shocked

Fast forward to 2021, after I had witnessed the way the Government sprayed its citizens and denied it during the October 2020 protest, I was very sure nothing good is coming out of the country, at least not anytime soon, so I made up my mind to leave before the next election. At that time, Canada was the only country on my mind, so I started the Canada Express Entry process. I evaluated my credentials with WES, wrote IELTS and entered the pool but the FSW draws have been stopped then due to Covid19. I waited for the whole year without any draws and no solid assurance it will start anytime soon (info as at then). During the wait, my brother convinced me to go through the study route that it was faster than EE, which I'm also aware of but I knew I'd be spending a lot of money, almost four times more than I'd spend via Express entry, I was like why spend that much money via study route when my profile, credentials etc will give me good CRS scores and earn me ITA/PR via the EE route? ** Ijebu me grin After almost going bald due to the long wait, I decided to give the study route a shot in January 2022. Little did I know then that I was about to start an adventure that will be fun-filled, stressful, exhausting, tiring and at the same time, fulfilling.

January 2022, I applied to Fanshawe college free of charge via Applyboard, after submitting all my documents, they asked me for my WAEC certificate, something I didn't use throughout Uni till then, well, I quickly drove down to Osun state to collect it, my bills had accumulated in WAEC office grin but I sha paid it and collected the certificate. I uploaded it on my Applyboard dashboard and I was given admission in less than 24 hours. I was so happy when the admission letter dropped. Like play, like play, this was when I went all in for the kill... Fanshawe wanted me to pay almost $10k within 30 days, after reading the refund/withdrawal policy, I said no wahala and processed the payment via e-form A in February. Thanks a lot to Teemenzo who hinted me on a lot of things and motivated me, I just hitted him up via this thread since we're going to the same school in Canada, funny enough, we live like next street to each other without knowing cheesy so we linked up, shared experiences, encouraged ourselves and stuffs. Thanks a lot Bro, I pray and hope your PPR drops unfailingly this month. I can't wait to read your PPR gist ooh cuz you don too tryyyyyy.

Moving on, as a self employed and self sponsored applicant, I started making arrangements on how to gather all my documents, my NYSC certificate was the most difficult to get cuz I didn't collect it during my POP back then [Marlians no dey collect certificate nah grin], I had to travel to Abuja at the NYSC Headquarters to collect it, them catch different cruise with me - "you are just coming for your certificate since 1914 blah blah blah", "haa, you don finally see job, na why you remember the certificate" etc. In my mind, I was like no be una fault, na me fu*ck up. cheesy I got the Certificate and used that opportunity to undergo my medicals in Abuja (I already booked ahead).

When I got back from Abuja, I paid a guru here to write my SOP for me, he wrote a good SOP but I wasn't okay with it, I understand he wrote the normal things he's meant to write BUT my guy, "no one can write about you or hype you more than you" motivational speaker isonu grin I was like, at least, he has given me a format/layout/idea already (good part of it) so I re-wrote the SOP myself based on his structure/idea. After about 3 weeks of writing/editing, an SOP of 3 pages or so eventually became 8 pages when I finished. [Big thanks to Ominii, who reviewed the SOP for me free of charge, he pointed out a few corrections to make. I'm glad you have your PPR already as well wink See you in Canada!!!] The finished SOP was too good, my head dey always swell anytime I read am, I suppose print and frame am for my wall cheesy but unfortunately I had a virus attack after submission while looking for hacked Netflix to pass time, this rendered my PC useless and I lost all my soft copy Docs ** free things dey run belle true true embarassed * .

As a business person, it was easy to accumulate my POF, since my account always have good inflows and outflows. After getting all my documents ready, I started merging, demerging, unmerging until I got the perfect arrangement I wanted then I submitted my application on the 31st of March, 2022 (some minutes past 10PM) via the New IRCC Portal. My BIL dropped about 30 minutes later, I rushed to book my biometrics appointment, when I checked Lagos, the next available date was 2 weeks away (April 13 or so) Lagos and wahala cry , I checked Abuja and there were even slots for the next day self (friday) so I booked Biometrics in Abuja for Monday, April 4. Traveled all the way to Abuja again for Biometrics, did it on the 4th of April and was updated the same day. My upfront medical (which I did in February) was passed the next day. I logged into my portal everyday to see if there's any new changes, on April 8, 2022, my eligibility review started. Omo! This V.O dey motivate me ooh grin I was very sure my application will be fast, with the way the VO was working. Thank God I didn't wait for Lagos, Imagine!!! my eligibility review has already started on the 8th of April, while I'd have waited till April 13 thereabouts to do my Biometrics If I had insisted on doing it in Lagos. Everyday I'd read, read and read this thread until there's nothing to read again, then I'll move to the other travel threads. Na so so Canada dreams I dey dream every night until I got tired in my dreams and just took my mind off it, my application was air and water tight so sooner or later, PPR go drop grin Exactly a month after my application was submitted, I ordered GCMS notes to see the present concern of the VO, the GCMS note hasn't dropped till now (the ETA is May 30).

My brother had gotten admission in a University in British Columbia so he submitted his application on the 10th of May, he was also in the same situation I found myself in (2 weeks before he'd be able to do Biometrics in Lagos). So I advised him to go do it in Abuja. Since I also needed to take my mind off my application, I decided to go to Abuja with him, so we set out on a road trip to Abuja, drove all the way up to Abuja, was fun sha. Before leaving, my mind told me to take my passport with me just in case I get PPR but I was like 'I go need carry all my files be that, because of biometric slips and other docs' so I ignored and we set out. We got to Abuja, he did his biometrics the next day (Friday, May 13). On Saturday, we went to the market with my Big Sis (solely because I wanted to buy big travel bags), my brother discouraged me from buying the bags since I don't even have PPR yet not to talk of knowing when I'll be travelling. I insisted and bought the bags. (I get coconut head nah) smiley 2 days later, which is the next working day, at exactly 1:52pm, I got a mail from IRCC, telling me to check my application for new messages, haaa! my heart started beating so fast, I couldn't even check it, I was so scared. My brother checked it for me, it was BVL and PPPRRRRR!!! Na so the jubilation start ooh. cool Travelled back to Lagos the following day, then sent my passport and docs to Abuja VAC the day after (Wednesday). The TRV has been affixed and already on its way back with Monday as EDT. LOI dropped this morning as well. cool

I think these are all the documents I submitted. There are some notable things I did in my application that made it a no brainer for me and the VO... I was sure of how almost perfect it is that I set aside some money for Judicial Review just in case I get a refusal (even though I might not do JR cuz it even takes more time than reapplication) grin

1. My brother is the assistant-director in one of my companies (backed it up with Particulars of Directors, Memo, his ID card, etc.), so I stated it clearly in my SOP that he'll be the one managing both companies while I'm away. I also emphasized on the fact that the company makes a 7-figure profit monthly and he'll be sending 80% of the profits to my personal account every month (Company Docs shows 80%:20% shares) which makes it even perfect.

2. I added the ongoing building project (pics, docs, proofs, etc.) and stated it clearly that I intend to live in there upon completion, when I return from Canada after my studies.

3. I added the documents of my dad's property and stated that it is being managed and monitored by my Brothers and I.

4. I also added pics, docs and estimated value of cars & equipment for sale in my auto biz and stated that the funds from the sales will be easily accessible to me since I'll be the one to review and approve the sales.

These are the things I can remember right now and that should be all. Thank you for reading my longggggg PPR gist and timeline, I hope it'll be useful to others one way or the other. I wish everyone who is expecting a positive result soonest. I'll stay tuned to this thread and keep giving back to the community that helped me. With the massive amount of information I got here in just a few months, Omo! Travel agents got nothing on me ooh. Cheers!!!!!!!!!

Hello Makahoo (almost sounding like my moniker)

Like we all know, getting a Master degree admission in Canada is very competitive. Especially when an applicant isnt a 1st class graduate or high 2:1.

Keep pushing, but if you don't still get a Master degree Admission, then you can go for PGD admission which isn't difficult getting..

We both know PGD applicants also get study permit Visa steady..

Peace

Please can I dm you

The fatest way is to contact a PR or Citizen to apply for you. I thunk Anon123 does that. You will likely get it within 31 days.

The other way us to apply through third-party website. This usually get delayed due to double processing by the organization and IRCC.
Thank you
Please did you have Anon123 contact

Yes, you can pay using from A. All you need is download flywire app, create your account and choose your school and get the required account details generated by flywire for your school. A ticket number ( Unique number) will be created for that particular transaction. That ticket number is so important that it must be included in the form A. Once the fund goes through, flywire will be credited which will inturn credit your fund to university of Saskatchewan.

Note: I did mine when it was hardcopy form A filled in the bank. Now it's online form A, but I feel it should be the same process.

For living in Saskatchewan, you may need to ask the question in living in Canada thread.
