Madam calm down nah

It's better to let it out than bottle up, so allow him to express it.

I can understand how he feels, the wait can be tiring and mentally draining.

Let's enocourage ourselves pls.

God no go shame us


Emi lo kan

Hafeez6948:
After 4½ months of waiting i should withdraw my application. Did you even understand a thing i wrote cuz i dont know where your response is coming from. So me am not strong willed or i dont have grace. I only implied that ppl that might get affected by the delay to have a back up plan. Even if one has faith as big as mount Everest its good practice to have a plan B in life. Nigerians have an abysmal 11.8% visa Approval rating with IRCC i didn't make that up its d stats. Plus its just an opinion.

Yooo

I've been largely a lurker here but I garnered enough information to do it myself.
I just got my PPR on my 3ed attempt.
Timeline:

1st Application: October 10 2020, very lame application. Was overconfident after applying to the US and UK myself without rejections. Didn't do my homework properly. Had 3 grounds for rejection including:
- Poor relationship with sponsor (Uncle without the same last name)
- Unreasonable study plan
- Purpose of visit


2nd Application: May 28 2021. Mitigated all but one of the officer's concerns. The officer had concerns that my sponsor's (mum) account had lump deposits. To be honest, they don't understand how a typical business person in Nigeria runs their account.

3rd Application: February 18 2022. Decided to leave no stone unturned. Paid the rest of the tuition and purchased a GIC. Then a really long wait. Started to stress my MP's office, which was of immense help. Got an ADR for another medical examination on June 10th. Exactly one year after the previous medical examination expired. Medical passed June 30th. PPR this morning.

Overview of successful application:
Submitted on new portal February 18 2022
Medical request June 10th
PPR July 21st.


Can't wait to leave

Please anyone applied to any of these schools for winter intake ..

university of Alberta
Mcgill university
University of British Columbia

I applied since March . Haven’t heard anything from any of them ..
or have schools not started sending mails to students for winter .

Bobomaigida:
Dear Nzealibaba,

These schools are top schools and competition for them is stiff, na "students dey rush them" check their admission processing timeline to see if you are still within time, you can also place a call to admission or international office for further clarification

All the best

Nzealibaba:
thanks . Some are saying “under review “ while others are saying “processing “.
Their deadlines are in June . And most schools have closed for winter application .

How are those of you without return ticket getting this whole Bta/ Pta ?

God did it. I give him all the praise. This would have been impossible without Him.
 
My journey to Canada began in 2014, when I submitted an application for the Federal Skilled Workers program. I sent my documents to Canada in December of 2014, and in April of 2015, I called to inquire about the status of my application, only to be informed that it had been returned to my address because the NOC that I applied for was full. I never received those documents back.
 
I was devastated, having invested time, effort, and money. My then agent requested that I reapply immediately through the newly introduced express entry program, as I met all of the requirements but was too emotionally exhausted to undergo the process again. I basically gave up on the Canadian dream.

Life goes on.

In 2017, my wife and I made the decision to try again. In 2018, I entered the pool, but my points were just too low to get an invitation to apply. I also applied for PNP in some provinces, but I wasn't selected. 

This time, however, we resolved not to give up. We will keep trying.

Going to Canada through study was never appealing to me.

All that changed last year, when we decided to try the study route. I came here to learn the requirements and the process involved. I was astounded by the quantity of information I received. I read parts 18–20 to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire process. I discovered that I could do it myself after receiving loads of information here.
 
I applied and got admitted to some schools, but decided to settle for Seneca College (1 year program PG). 

After paying the 1st semester tuition fees in February, I realized that the available funds would not be enough to show proof of funds. We then decided to sell one of our properties. From the proceeds of the sales, I was able to pay the second semester tuition fees and send some money to my spouse's account for family upkeep (I did all these things to demonstrate that the lump sum was not intended for demonstration purposes).

A guy I did medical with on the 20th had his medical updated on the 23rd and received PPR on the 24th, so I was concerned when I didn't receive PPR after my medical was updated to pass. Due to this, anxiety nearly killed me.I was wondering why I had not yet received PPR and what could have caused the delay.
Yesterday at 4 p.m., I began sending emails to a number of email addresses found on this page. I submitted a web form to Nairobi as well.
Then, I received the golden mail this morning.
I believe that the email and web form did the trick.

A big shout out to Justmellow for writing an outstanding SOP and for reviewing my final documents.I emailed him a lengthy draft. He shortened it into a 3-page study plan, and it made a lot of sense, though I had to write an elaborate LOE.
Thanks to Frank for providing me with advice that altered the entirety of my application.
I am grateful to Anon for reviewing my documents at a very short notice.
God bless you all.
A special shout out to @ACTIVATEOLUWASE, a brother I met here. When I needed assistance with my Form A, he graciously walked me through the steps. Thanks brother. I eagerly anticipate your good news.
Thanks to all contributors, you are all doing a yoeman' s job. God bless you all.
God will certainly remember all PPR hopefuls.

I apologize for the long post.

JDB55:
Thanks for the prompt reply. But, with my 2:1 is it gonna look somehow if one decides to go for a PGD course in a college cos i'm not considering a masters yet cos of the tuition fee but i can afford that of a college. Also, some requires one to have a GMAT/GRE which i don't have any. And lastly what i defended in my project was based on Education.

francisxbee:
Even if you use juju, you can't get PTA without return.
