Omnisavage:
Good morning, ShowYoung.

I have a question, are we only allowed to send webforms to the Kenyan office? I'm asking this because I sent emails to like 10 different email addresses including London, Kenyan, Beijing, Lagos, Accra, Cairo, Pretoria etc about my biometrics not changing to Completed but it was actually the Beijing people that replied me this morning that they've fixed it and I checked the portal and the biometrics was showing Completed. So I'm wondering if I can also send a webform to Beijing office regarding medical not updated as well since they seem to be the only one taking things serious.

Teemie22:
Thank God ooooooooooooo
It’s PPR guys!!!

I still want to believe I’m dreaming o, I was still complaining my medical and biometric wasn’t updated. I got a don’t reply message from ircc, I was thinking it’s medical and biometric update only to see PPR guys �������

Application submitted: May 8
Upfront medical: March 28 (updated to pass this morning)
Biometrics: May 13th (updated to pass this morning)
PPR: June 27th.

This can only be God, I didn’t see this coming ������

Hi Everyone, Trust you all are good...it's been 3 weeks here in Canada, resuming September 2022 and I have some tips to share;

1. If you don't have excess cash to spend, or a family member to chill with or a special reason(like in my case) no need rushing here cos Canada is expensive lol.. One million naira can fly in 3 weeks and you know you can't work till September or your start date ...

2. Tecno/Infinix/ China phones don't work with their sim here

3. Everything here is expensive, so while packing foodstuffs, if u can add Duvet cover, bedspread and pillow case cos to get good bedding is like $100+

4. Unlike UK that room and houses are fully furnished, most houses/rooms are not furnished here...You sort your room/house yourself

5. Seasonings are annoyingly expensive, so bring like 2-5packets of Knoun maggi or your preferred choice. So instead of packing rice, u can add 5 packets of knoun and if u wanna compare here, e fit reach $500 and am not joking cos u can see 5cubes worth for $2.99

6. Universal charger is very expensive here, so if u google Canada universal charger and see in Nigeria, even better cos one here plus tax is almost $50 at New Brunswick...all shop same price like say nau meeting lol

7. There is Sales tax o, lots of shock here cos I lived in UK before lol... It differs but mine here is 15%...Example: if u buy a shoe for $100, when u get to checkout, you pay $115...so prepare ur mind lol

8. Most of their indigenes are warm though

Some people might already know all these but some might not, just felt it wise to share but don't fret; Canada is a beautiful and warm place, regardless of the culture or finance shock, you will adjust pretty soon... To those planning their trip; safe journey...to those expecting PPR, All the best...

NB: Added picture of Universal charger..

Omnisavage:
when did you do biometrics and what is the status of your biometrics on the portal?

I think you are almost at the finish line, congratulations are in order.

Blakmandk:
Please did you do an upfront medical? i submitted my application since april 26. but i didn't do an upfront medical. biometric was updated same day i submitted because i had already applied for a visit visa in 2019 and i was denied. so i only inputed my biometrics information. But i'm yet to get any new update since april. is the medical the reason i'm yet to get any response?

legenduq:
God has done it.
It’s PPR!

I'm still surprised ooo.
In all, I give all the glory to God!!!
I prayed for grace and He answered me..
I resigned from my bank job in June 2021 after the scam with high hopes, got fired from my other remote jobs by August, Got depressed and couldn't travel home that year.
But my guy came through for me, inspired me that the hustle just started and introduced me to church(Dominion City), I became focused on God, got some of my remote jobs back, got my self confidence back, married in March, apply study permit April, Go honey moon for Dubai May, PPR June.

This is my testimony!!!
God really works, if we can be faithful and keep our side of the agreement.
More Good new loading as I will continue to be faithful by the enablement of the holy spirit.

He will visit everyone here according to our needs in Jesus name!!!

Toceen2022:



So guys, here is my timeline.

This journey started in 2020 when I applied to University of New Brunswick, but I wasn't admitted. I wasn't really serious about it then because business was going on fine, that's why I applied to UNB alone.

Around April 2021, when dollar issues hit our business so hard, I lost a lot of money and it started to look like the journey will never be possible again. I discuss with my siblings and we knew it's time to make move and leave this country, because exchange rate means a lot in our Importation business. I decided to prioritize this Canada journey and started making a lot of research and reading on nairaland.

First of all, I decided to apply to schools supported by Mpower, because 7 figures monthly income has dropped by almost 60%. I contacted many potential supervisors and one from University of Victoria fixed a date for interview. She accepted to be my supervisor and I applied around October 2021. I also applied to University of Manitoba. By February 2022, when I didn't hear from Uvic and Manitoba I quickly applied to Fanshawe, Conestoga and NSCC.

March 2022, admissions started rolling in:
University of Victoria - Accepted
University of Manitoba - Rejected
Fanshawe College - Accepted
Conestoga College - Accepted
NSCC - Accepted

I opted for University of Victoria because I have a supervisor, no tuition deposit required and it is a Master's Program. I didn't submit my visa application for about 2 months because I was waiting for funding letter. During this period, I started gathering documents and writing my SOP. When everything was set I contacted Makano to review my SOP. He gave me a thumbs up, but emphasize on writing it as formal letter and did some editing, removing the sub-headings, turning it into paragraphs. I respect him so much for being calm. He sent voice notes to me to explain why he did some things and assured me it's the best. "I have been doing it like that and I've been getting positive results with my clients". That was actually his words. Thank you Makano, I respect you Bro
