I submitted my application since July without the temporary resident visa imm5257. What does this means?

It was stated as optional. If you were able to submit your application. I guess it's not an issue.

Yes, the children practice

Go there very early, before 8 am

Approval Alert! Long Post Alert Too.

I applied on July 26th online. I received a medical request August 8th, I did it the next day in PH. My medicals was updated as pass earlier today around 11am, and about 30mins ago, the approval and Passport request landed.

Msc, McGill University
Documents submitted.
My Sponsor is my Fiancée's Sister. I submitted her personal and business' statements of account (She is a small business owner), with a combined balance of about 13 million naira after she has transferred my estimated tuition fee for 1 year to me (1.2m).
Sponsorship and affidavit of sponsorship letter.
CAC documents of her business
My Fiancée's and my Sponsor’s birth certificates and my Sponsor’s International passport data page (single travel history to dubai).
Sponsor’s family picture of about 8years ago showing me at her convocation ceremony from the University (My Fiancée is in the picture too).
My engagement dinner picture with my Fiancee.

SOP(2 pages)
Resume (It shows my two research publications in international peer-reviewed journals and my current project)
Statement of my long-standing Mutual funds investment account with ARM (1.4m current balance).
TOEFL Result (I wrote it last year for another purpose, McGill didn't require it from me, but I sha submitted it anyway in the rush)
Offer letter from McGill.
CAQ approval letter from Quebec.
Email approval of my Differential Fee Waiver Award from McGill (This DFW allows me to pay tuition and other fees at Quebec rate which is about 1.2m (4120 CAD) instead of International rate which is 19820 CAD).
My NYSC call-up letter, and PPA posting letter (I am currently a youth corper).
My MDCN Annual Practicing License.
My birth certificate, University degree and Transcript.
Parents' and my 4 siblings' birth certificates.
My retired father's landed property and valuation (I didn't do deed of transfer). Valued at 8m.
My father's RSA statement as at when he retired years ago. Balance was 4m.

I was denied Visa twice in the space of a month last year to go and present one of my research work in New York. Also, I was denied a UK visa this last May to attend the Commonwealth Youth Forum as one of the youth delegates representing Nigeria at the last concluded CHOGM in London. I had another paper to present early last month in London too, however, I couldn't even dare apply for a visa again, so I begged one of my co-authors to make the presentation. He already had a UK visa. I have never travelled out of this country before as an adult so my passport is Virgin.

I didn't pay for Tuition, McGill generally doesn't allow you pay tuition until you have both your CAQ and your Study Permit.

I thank God for His mercies, as I didn't know I will be applying for the study permit until days before that July 26th. But God practically fast-tracked my approval. Thanks to @jnyuwa02 and @frankrobben for their immense contributions to this group. I arranged my documents in a hurry based on their back and forth on this thread from day 1.

If their is anything to learn from this my divine grace, is that no two applications are the same. And to always say the truth too. I explained all my visa denials and I filled in the TB part of the application that I recently managed a patient that was diagnosed of Tuberculosis under my care and I was in close contact with him as his Doctor for weeks. I didn't know how such information could have affected my application, but I couldn't bring myself to lying about such exposure while I was filling the form.

Last last, I Thank God!

Please how did you do the differential fee waiver?

jnyuwa02 please did u get my mail ?

Doyenrey:
Yes, the children practice

Go there very early, before 8 am
Talk to them as soon as they begin attending to people by 8am. Make sure you talk!

You are a life saver!!

blessedness:
You are a life saver!!

Lol please, make sure you let them know you didn't book an appointment right after they open, the lady that helped me was rude but still helped, so be persistent.

note that you might get to spend the whole day there lol

Ysakaws:
Please how did you do the differential fee waiver?

I didn't apply for it, as there is no separate application to that effect. It's by departmental nomination. Each departments have their own criteria for nomination which I am not privy to. All I know was I received an email stating I have been nominated for it, then later I received confirmation email saying the GPS has approved it. I hope my answer is helpful.

I am new on this forum though I have been following this forum since May 19 when I applied online for my study permit.Since May 19 no response from the CIC until 21st I got a medical request on the 21st of August a day to my resumption in the university of Winnipeg Manitoba (Pace)

I have done my medicals on the 23 though my medical has not been update.

I already called my school for differer and I was giving a new addmision letter for February 2019.

Please what are my chances of getting a study permit visa

blessedness:

Please after submitting the passport (in response to passport request),how long does it take for it to be returned?

drhammed:
I was not asked to submit GRE or TOEFL. And Yes, got admitted

Please like how much is the tuition fee for a year Also, did you get funding in anyway by the school?

jnyuwa02:
Hang in there, it won’t tarry too long anymore since it’s already on eligibility of review the last stage of the procedural review. I personally beleive you will be able to get a decision before your start day. Wishing you the best in the coming days or week or couple of weeks.

Thanks, will be waiting

galala123:
I pray it ends well. May you received your passport with visa shortly.

Did you do medicals upfront? Please scrutinise you mailbox and SPAM folder in case you missed a mail from them requesting you to do something.

Amen

Ok they have replied my mail.
