Hello

I remember the conversation and I also said you didn't need to worry

The lady that posted that question did same in the Living in UK thread and explained that money was a booster(what we constantly discourage)

ECOs are smart and well trained,they know and even when they ask,the person applying should be able to provide verifiable evidence for any/every transaction in their account

Cheers

I have come to show appreciation 👏to dduchess and to everyone that gave answers to my questions. God bless you all mightily..
Thank you to this ogbonge nairaland platform for instigating the boldness of I CAN DO IT mentality on us . I did the process alone ..
Last year , paid deposit for RGU for September 22 intake, couldn't get CAS and so I asked for refund and I got it .. in that same spirit I applied to other schools and got admission to 2 schools , UWS and UnI of SALFORD for may and June intake.. had to go for uni Salford ( international student friendly 100 percent). Their took just 3 days to get after pof and TB test submission.

*** After i collected, i opened the nylon and checked my passport, lo and behold i didnt see anything. I cried from TLS VI to my house. I already told my siblings and husband that i didnt get the visa. On getting home, my husband was trying to console me and then i checked again, A se vignette was sitting pretty on page 21....omo, i rolled on the floor for God.

This made me laugh and cry at the same time. Congratulations to you

Hello Fam,
Just to drop my 50 cent and hopefully give someone insight.

So I've been looking for accommodation in New Brunswick Fredericton for some days now without success.

I applied for UNB residence (I'm going for post grad in Fredericton) and even though I was super late, my application was granted.

Application fee was charged from my student account which was already funded with form A.

Now here comes the icing, they started in their site that I can pay room deposit in my local currency using CIBC and I decided to test it with a $CAD50.00 deposit. Behold to my amazement, I was charged N17772 (surcharges included), meaning they processed it at $CAD1 = N420 which is a great deal. Saves me a whole lot of black mkt stress n forex delays...

By the way, I would like to be added to the Nigerian Association in Fredericton whataapp group.

Thanks

Please house how can I order for GSM note.

duke2000:
Congratulations!
My son got his PPR yesterday as well. Waiting for VISA stamping.

Do you think its best to book for flight now or wait for visa?

Haremuh:
My eligibility started yesterday, and I got BVL today not PPR yet.
Should I be worried?

Urgent answer please

HausaIgboYoruba:
Starting a Ph.D. is more flexible than Masters because you can begin it at various times of the year. Just google German universities' websites and get in touch with any professor that he/she research interests align with yours. The professor will be the best to tell when you can begin after accepting your proposal.

PrinceDavo1:
Congratulations. ....

- Application submitted in May
- Biometric in June
Used a Nigerian consultant based in Canada (introduced by a family friend in Canada) who greatly coordinated and midwifed the entire process. Not compulsory though, but extremely helpful given the high rejection rate these days. Be care of scammers.

all public unis in Swizz offers free tuition apart from university of st gallen. Once u are admitted u just have to pay just around 400 to 800 euro per semester which is rigid transformations fee that's all. And u don't even necessarily have to pay it from Nigeria. Note 21k swiss francs is required as proof of funy

I am here to share my own testimony,
Application submitted March 12th Gckey portal
Medicals June 15th
Medicals done July 5th
I got my PPR on 11/15/22

I just want to mention that your LOE is the foundation of any application. and i am grateful for to God for connecting me with @Technix . I was here the whole of February trying to get information and asking lots of questions, mostly scared because i was self sponsored with the support of my sister who was a Canadian PR. On one question i asked @Technix reached out to me explaining how to go about it. It marveled me because he was so detailed in his explanation, at that point I decided to share my fears with him and sent him a draft of my LOE. He went through it and edited it, he was able to explain my situation better . When I read the edited copy of my LOE I knew my application was about to be a testimony. I am grateful for meeting you. Thanks a bunch for all the help. I will recommend reaching out to him if you were like me that was doubtful and full of fear. wishing everyone here success in there Journey. Canada here we come

I got frustrated when my medicals was not updated for at least one month. I sent various emails to Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Abuja and filled numerous forms. My faith was tested and still I believed that God who started this will perfect it.

The wait is over

Congratulations, I’m next in-line

Honorable Nairalanders,

I have finally confirmed It's not a dream; it's real. It's PPR!!!!

Got a email notification from IRCC around 9:30 am on June 27 to check my mail for a message. Without delay and with my inner eyes raised to, and fixed on, he who lives in the highest heavens, I logged in to my portal. I scrolled up slowly as I didn't want to rush it. I saw "You have 2 messages" on my dashboard, my shaky heart was strengthened a bit because, from what I have noticed from people's posts on Nairaland, PPR often comes with it's twin brother, BVL. Yet I continued scrolling up in slow motion; lo and behold, it was PPR and its twin brother. Then I glanced at the "Final decision" section and saw "Your application was approved...". Guys! Only heaven could say how large my heart dilated in joy.

I needed to take the whole day to be sure I wasn't seeing a vision or having a daydream, and share with families and friends.

Further below you'll find my timeline. But before that, it may interest you to know that my application is quite unusual. And since I joined Nairaland, I haven't seen any one similar.

To give you an idea:

1) FIRST TIME APPLICANT

2) DID EVERYTHING MYSELF WITHOUT MUCH PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (submitted my application just about amonth after joining Nairaland)

3) 38 years old with very little or no secular work experience (there's a reason for that, though). Single, but not searching yet. lol!

4) Currently not working (though was doing an online course that is not even related to my prospective program - Philosophy)

5) As a logical follow-up of no.4, NO FINANCIAL/PERSONAL ASSETS declared ( there's a reason, though). Didn't submit any personal Bank statement; just my sponsor's. (People are refused visa on the basis of lack of financial/personal assets. But I got approval even without any; what God cannot do does not exist).

6) SPONSORED BY A MATERNAL UNCLE (Mum's immediate younger brother) living and working in the US as a medical doctor. (Third-party sponsored applications get up to 95 - 98% refusal; practically all approvals I've seen on Nairaland are either self-sponsored, spouse-sponsored, parent-sponsored). But I got approval; God too strong o. When he opens the door, no one can close it.

As you can see, what we call "red flags" abound. Plus a plethora of other imperfections i noticed in my application after I had submitted, as I got more enlightened following people's inputs on Nairaland. In fact, when I read people's refusal reasons and the watertightness of approved applications, I felt there was no need to keep deceiving myself. I never gave up trusting in God, though. Tell me, then, why we can't call this a miracle from the Most High.

TIMELINE

- Application Submitted - MAY 11

- Biometrics - MAY 12 ( Lagos)

- Upfront medicals done - MAY 9 ( didn't submit the information sheet with the application)

- Upfront medicals updated - JUNE 22 (after
sending the information sheet via webforms and emails to Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja, and London around mmid-June)

- Eligibility Started same JUNE 22

- PPR and BVL - JULY 27

Total duration of my application is therefore 10 WEEKS and 2 DAYS.

I'll come back to share the DOCUMENTS Submitted (They are not that much).

Some unanswered questions on this thread will find responses with my case.

If you no Sabi pray and trust in God, begin now de learn am. If you no believe sey miracle still dey happen, you don see am now. lol!

KINDLY NOTE, HOWEVER: each person's case is unique. I tailored my LOE and I believe honesty pays. Know your case and present a tailor-made application. No complications.

Going to UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA. Someone told me amusingly that uOttawa visa applications are never turned down. lol! (Don't take this seriously, please). Na only God fit do the magic!

To be honest, I carry everyone here in my prayers. The Lord who did it for me will do it for each and everyone of you here trusting in Him. Rest assured of that. Thank you all for all your contributions on this thread. You'll surely smile soon, starting with the Fall session candidates because their case is more urgent. It'll surely end in praise!

I hope this encourages someone.

Thank you! Thank you!! And Thank you!!!.
