Undergraduate Application.
Application submitted: September 6th 2022
Biometrics updated: September 6th 2022(Already done for a visitor's visa application)
Upfront medicals: 13th September 2022
Sent series of webforms and emails with my e-medical slip attached.
Medicals updated to pass: 7th October
Ircc ghosted me, no updates, no replies, nothing
Contacted an MP from my province and she contacted an IRCC rep on my behalf. They gave her update on my application on 2nd of November; criminality and eligibility passed but it wasn't updated on my portal.

I kept sending emails and webforms but IRCC said "aired"
Eligibility review started: 17th November 2022
PPR: 18th November 2022

All I can say is God did it!

E choke!!! congratulations

House need ur input
Visa was approved and original passport was requested and sent passport to Abuja. Over a month now passport is not returned yet and on the application portal, the status change from approved to processing...
What does it mean

The status changed on your IRCC portal or where? Ha

I applied same date. Nothing yet Hi Guys,

Any September applicant in the house. I applied September 9 and eligibility is yet to start.[/quote]

Oldfashioned145:
Not IRCC telling me my application is still under review. Application which was submitted since May. Upfront medicals updated since September.

Tell me you're incompetent without preaching to the choir.

Chaii

Did you mail them? I just mailed them yesterday that my application has passed the processing time, and I got decision today, though is not a good one, but I thank God I got their response on time.
Good luck

What does it mean

Send an email or raise a webform to Nairobi to find out what's wrong with your application.

Second, I hope you did not submit any fake documents, because after your passport request, IRCC sometimes conduct a final check on your documents before stamping, particularly financial bank statements.

Good afternoon everyone.

Please what rate is used to calculate POF for the Canadian study visa application?
Is it oanda like the UK?

Yes use oanda.

Please gurus. I have a question.

I'll be schooling in centinneal college, but I wanted to know, do they offer hyflex or online classes?

If yes, if I stay in a different province and still school, does this affect pgwp?

Or insurance and Healthcare from the province of Ontario and the school insurance?

Thanks in advance

You are to call, mail or chat VFS online with your tracking ID for feedback.
Do that immediately before it's close of business.

Some people sef, why wait till a month to complain when you have 30days from the date of your PPR to submit your ppt for stamping. Contact VFS immediately for tracking

Send a mail and webform to IRCC for feedback if it's psst processing time

Ladyj143:
Thank you,
Should I order for GCMS OR CBSA?

I have not ordered one before so I don't know which is better. Google about the two n make a choice

Thanks in advance

You can either wait for someone already attending lectures to confirm the mode of lecture delivery or consult the school website or contact the school directly to confirm.

Your pgwp is fine if you maintain your student status throughout without any complaints filed against you (not attending classes, not registering your courses, poor grades that can lead to admission withdrawal etc.) So check well before switching locations.

Your health insurance is paid by you and service rendered in your school/province. You could pay for extra coverage if you want.

If you're not comfortable at your current province, you can switch schools to another province with approval from your current school and IRCC I think, not completely sure.

gem123:

Any September applicant in the house. I applied September 9 and eligibility is yet to start.

I applied on August 3, eligibility started on Oct 18 and since then, no update. Why are these people like this?

kennyjoy:
Yes use oanda.

Thank you for the swift response.


Another question I'll need answers to is if I have initiated form A but yet to be debited, can I make that deduction from my POF as I don't have an acknowledgement from the school yet.

1500 acceptance fees paid
First semester tuition fees initiated with form A
Balance of 9000CAD plus 10 000 living expenses makes 19kCAD.

Is this what I'll show in my POF or 26,500CAD?

Thanks once again.

koreanlord:
I have paid the Deposit and I even have the Letter of Acceptance...

Since you've paid the deposit, send them a mail through the African region email that you'd want to defer and state your reason(s).

[quote author=Ladyj143 post=118488705][/quote]Am so sorry about your refusal. Please don’t give up, I pray your next application won’t take long and you will get a positive response from them.

Once again, its PPRRRRR - Loooooonnnnggggg post alert!!

First off, I’d like to thank God and many members of this platform for helping and keeping things running on here.

My profile in summary: 25y/o single male, parent sponsored, Computer Engineering BSc, graduated with second class upper, going for MSc, Computational Sciences. Graduated in 2020, worked as a Software Engineer ever since then.

Timeline and Events
New Portal
First-time applicant
Applied by myself. Learnt all from Google, Youtube, and Nairaland

July 4: Upfront medicals
July 8: Application on New Portal
July 8: Biometrics Request
July 13: Gave biometrics and received on portal
** Somewhere in between I’d uploaded my medical sheet from IOM via webform. Can’t remember when.
August 4 (2AM): Sent mail to Lagos, Nairobi, London and attached my medical sheet.
August 4 (Around 1pm): Biometrics and Medicals updated to pass.
** Long wait, ordered notes, CBSA and GCMS, nothing tangible.
October 11: Sent mail to MP
October 13: MP got back literally saying the same thing on portal.
** Around this period, started firing several versions of mails and webforms.
Nov 16: MP reached out to them again – Preassessment done, eligibility not started.
Nov 17 (Around midnight): Sent mails to Beijing, London, Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi.
Nov 17 (Around 12pm): Eligibility review started on portal
Nov 17 (Around 9pm): BVL and PPR

Little story, for POF which is usually a concern, I had like 5.5M in my account, $2k USD in dorm account. 5M was gift deed from my Dad, he had 25M in fixed deposit since July 2021. As at the time I applied, the money was fixed. There were several opinions about this, but I kept it that way even though I was scared sh*tless. The closing balance of that account was 77k in fact.

Around November 9 ish, I sent updated statement showing liquidated funds and my Dad transferred the balance of like 8M to me since I’d enrolled in courses. My savings in Naira and USD had grown, I also got salary raise at work so I packaged all these and sent severally via webforms – both old and new. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered like 3 notes and I still have 4 pending lol.

I’m adding all of these because I’m not sure what did the trick. It’s pretty much a combination of all.

Abeg how does this MP thing work How do you contact an MP Kindly guide. Thanks

My application got denied for insufficient fund. In response to this, I have made about 83% tuition fee payment and reapplied.
Please do I need to upload my previous medical sheet through web form after indicating it on the new application?

lookers191:
Thank you for the swift response.


Another question I'll need answers to is if I have initiated form A but yet to be debited, can I make that deduction from my POF as I don't have an acknowledgement from the school yet.

Hi lookers191,

Firstly, your POF doesn't limit to any provided amounts, you can actually show more than if you have it, but just make sure you prove that those funds are readily available.

Your replies are actually point on as they addressed my concerns.

Hey Guys! If someone gets a passport request for their study visa and the person is applying for a new passport at their designated country, can the person still use the new passport at the border ? Regardless the old/current one still has the visa stamp

Hello gurus in the house, please I just notice I have two documents I didn’t submit when I apply for study visa, I want to ask if I can still submit it via webform, I’m October applicant. Thanks, replies will be appreciated.

September applicants, has eligibility started for any one ?

September 7, eligibility hasn’t started.

You are to call, mail or chat VFS online with your tracking ID for feedback.
Do that immediately before it's close of business.

Some people sef, why wait till a month to complain when you have 30days from the date of your PPR to submit your ppt for stamping. Contact VFS immediately for tracking

Vfs asked me to contact embassy
