Good news guys, my PPR just came in at 7:46am this morning. It can only be God, I am still in shock. My story is a special one, my Bachelors is Law, I have an LLB, BL (Law School), and Masters in International Business, but I applied for Diploma, not even Post Graduate Diploma, but Diploma in Digital Business Management. I wasn't even aware of this forum when I applied in September, I just followed a YouTuber (Noel Abingwa) and learnt the steps and documents needed when applying for my visa through one of his Videos. I contacted him and he was kind enough to share his statement of purpose/ letter of explanation with me. As I started getting anxious, I decided to join this forum 30th December and it was so encouraging because I kept getting alot of support, more especially from @Makano.

I got this message below from Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship's Office on the 18th of February 2022

IRCC records confirm that your application was received on September 6, 2021, and is being processed at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi. Criminality checks and medical examination results are passed, however, further review is required before an eligibility decision is made. This means that the case is no longer straightforward and will, in most situations, lead to additional delays in processing. Once a decision has been made, officers will be in a position to determine next steps in processing

Thank you for answering my questions, more especially in the past two days after the message I got below from the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship's office on the 18th of January 2022.

@Makano encouraged me that "If truly you are truthful with your application and you didn't hide any information from them, then expect a positive decision from them"

Thank you @PatrickOkunima @olasubomy @mrprolifik @VIKKYIFE @Teemenzo @Time2soar1 @Predator188 who helped give me answers to my posts as well.

I even ordered for GCMS notes on the 4th of January but its still not out.

.

A friend of mine that will be travelling from Abuja next week to Ottawa bought Qatar airways. That was the cheapest he could find and it cost him €500 economy class. Abuja- Doha 3hrs wait time then Doha - Montreal 45 mins wait time Montreal- Ottawa.
You can do the conversion from €500 to Naira to find out how much it will amount to

Thanks mrprolifik. €500 is about 200k+. It's fine!

Please l need help in flight booking to Ottawa, Ontario from Abuja. What is the preferred and cheapest airline based on experience? Those that travelled recently should come to my assistance. Landing gist will be an added bonus, pls!

A good Samaritan should come to my aid please

Anon123:


Wheb you get to canada, it is important you control your spending as a new student in the country. That amount is the standard though but you can have more if you have it.

2-3m

Thanks @ anon123

9 months...omo! Congratulations dear

Anon123:


NSE-Nigerian Student Express was a trick played on applicant that if you submit your documents and include an MBS-mybank statement certificate(to replace scanned bank statement) and IELTS result with at least 6.0 made on all bands, your application will be processed under the NBS category in 20days.

First few weeks, it worked but eventually 20days turned to 3months and gradually its back to the normal waiting time or the normal applicants with out either of those two docs.

As an international student, you are expected to have money for feeding, accomodation etc asides money for your tuition fees. Meaning that $10,000cad has to be in your account while the tuition can be with you or your sponsor.

Is 10,000Cad enough for a year. What's the equivalent in naira?

PPR!! Finally!

-I changed sponsor from self-sponsor to spouse-sponsor.
-Paid first semester school fee.

-I sent my documents to few people on this journey to review before submission.

I just want to return all glory back to God almighty, the finisher of my faith and my anchor through the waiting. He said it and he brought it to pass. Thank you to my MVPs that kept encouraging me and listening to all my complaints and ranting�.You are amazing �� and I intend to keep our friendship�‍❤️‍�‍��‍❤️‍�.

I want to encourage everyone still waiting to keep holding on and keep giving thanks. The wait will be over soon and your mouth will be filled with thanksgiving.

Congratulations dear

Chiziteremary:
Ketima/Anon 123 pls can u answer me.

Pls i cant understand why i am making so many errors. I have sent the webform and email. Just realised what i sent has errors. I also had two USA refusals when i was still single and two UK refusals. I mistakenly sent only the Uk refusals but with the date for the US refusals and i didnt send the USA refusals while i was single. Honestly these refusals have been so long ago. It skipped my mind though i included a scanned copy of my passport with the stamped dates for both embassies.

Pls is there a way to recall the webform and the emails which i sent.

You have been dominated by the fear of refusal and this has resulted in further errors. You need to take a moment break! After relaxing, draft a good LOE and forward a copy to @Makano and@Ketima etc for their perusal and/or revision. Also indicate that the new LOE supersedes the previous email forwarded on...and, therefore, they should disregard it. We are humans and errors are bound to happen. Cheers!

Semtu:

@Makano, elenewton1, francisxbee and the host of others, May God bless you guys for your time, response and positive suggestions�.

For those still expecting their PPR, someone once told me to go to the blessed sacrament . I only spent 30mins there and mine came the next day . All I will say is hold on to God cos He alone has yours waiting for you after you have done your part. All I see is GRACE!

Congratulations dear. All November applicants are doing well! I can't count the number of successful approvals so far. Cheers!

Obibaby:
Eligibility has already started, any further Document might delay your application. I didn't use any MBS, I didn't even submit my own account, I submitted only my mum's who is my sponsor and I got my visa. Everything is in the hands of God. Don't complicate your application.

My little suggestion please.

Not too sure of your opinion. Whether additional documents will be significant or not, applicants should do the needful.
