Okay cool. You need to review your application all over again, most especially your SOP.

You need to portray yourself as you are right now and be truthful. You can enlist the help of any of the Gurus or engage @Gcmwriters on Instagram, to ensure that you reapply with a really tight application this time. All the best

Akanoa:
My mom was my sponsor.

Yes, you can get there from sandfield.... When you get there, get transport to Eko hotel.

Blazca:
Please guys. Qlife is close to sandfill bus stop right?

Did you use a sponsor?
From the VO’s comment, it seems the Agent portrayed you to be established which is now not sufficient.

Akanoa:
1. I'm 19 and just left high school 2019 therefore no previous undergraduate. I did all science related courses in school and I've been attending a computer science which I just finished.
2. There was a problem because my agent did not fill in my siblings in my family form, I don't know how that happened.

Lol! Yes I’m here. Hello

My PPR landed this morning guys... It’s the Lord doing and marvelous in my sight!
March 17 applicant normal route. God will show up for those that are waiting for PPR.
Coming back with my full episode!

Hmmm!! I understand the situation clearer. But I think if he shows up at Qlife early in the morning; they’ll attend to him same day. Let him make the move, there’s really no time again. I’m quite positive this will work.

badmanjo:
The problem is he's booked his flight for 14th July and all the medical dates for July is filled up

Lmao. This was an interesting read.... what happened to rice and chicken bayi? . I plan to take Ethiopian airlines too. Thanks for the tips, I will come prepared with my movies, music and powerbank. Loool

Enjoy your stay in Toronto, you’ll move to Vancouver before you know it.

Canada will favour you!!! We are coming...

Lianna2020:
Soft landing gist
I booked Ethiopian airline for 1:40pm.
I said my final goodbyes and moved to the airport. I got there by 9:30 thinking I’m late because of the story I read here as per queue but there wasn’t any.
They didn’t allow my husband to enter and I had to tip them 500.
We proceeded to where they were suppose to check my bag but the woman asked for money n we moved to declare agricultural product, I had just one bag and I paid 2,000.


Next was to get my boarding pass. My bag was 43kg and so didn’t need to pay but paid 1000 to wrap my Ghana must go that had my foodstuffs.

I was asked for my passport , enrollment letter , arrive can , hotel for quarantine and COVID-19test result.(everything was printed out so was easy to find).

Everything was so smooth until the man said my covid 19 go soon expire by the time I reach .
Na that time I wan cry , pe village people u must show yourself o.
I waited for 30 minutes plus, the sneakers self pain me join , I come Dey frown face, the old man slow join, come Dey read bible abi wetin to show my covid go expire. I sha pretended and maintained my calm.

After series of back and forth, I was allowed to move to where we have the computer so I can scan my pp.

Then I was issued my yellow card where I have to fill my form and my boarding pass . That’s how one man said let me help you fill your form , olodo me allowed him, when he wrote my first name then nairaland tip hit pe, this man wants money like this o. I told him, don’t worry o, I go fill am, I filled it myself and when I was about to return his biro, he said find joy for your brother now, chai I said to myself , upon say I don read landing gist here back to back , I still looseguard. I sha gave him 500 naira.



I moved to eat and told my hubby to take all naira as e don finish , pe no more tipping then moved to final e boarding gate where we have the immigration officers.
First officer checked and asked for tip.by that time no more naira as I wouldn’t have thought , uniform people go want tip .I gave him 1 dollar and he said just one ? I said sorry o.
I was now directed to the second person where he checked and asked my my Canadian address and Nigerian address, I gave my Airbnb addrsss and number and did my fingerprint and he asked for tip too before stamping my pp. I gave him 1 dollar n apologized that I didn’t think I’d need to pay in here hmmm.
Then final final checks again, by that time I don tire , they checked my handbag and saw dried meat wey I wan Dey munch small small, the woman said I don see exhibit , settle your girl, for my mind, u no see shishi but I go sha giv u because na Poe Dey my mind like this.

Luckily I saw 1,000, I gave her and was seated for my flight .
We boarded 13:00and moved around 2:00 against 1:40.

I thought WiFi was free but na only WhatsApp he work for so had to buy WiFi so I can watch my Korean film but WiFi was limited too so ended up watching nothing but was thankful I could chat, maybe it was the WiFi package I took. Their food was terrible sha but I had to eat , dried beef came to my rescue.

We landed Addis Ababa 20:49pm , thank God I had someone directing me as I no sabi where to where .
After all checks ,I was asked for my pp, covid 19 test result, and booked hotel and I was allowed in .

We left for Dublin from Addis around 11:pm and it was a smooth ride, when I read in-house music, I had thought it will be a cool jam coming from one of those vent up there but no it was one boring set of songs you have to listen to(sad).

I had three seats to myself as no one was there so I was able to stretched n lie down well.
By all means download movies and music, iPhone do me strong thing o, not even Netflix . I was now waiting for WiFi atleast let me chat now , that’s how the hostess said no WiFi (cries). Boredom pro max .
Had to manage the dry songs n watch few interesting movies.

Then I was given declaration form , I kuku didn’t understand most of what they wanted but I sha filled something . The most confusing thing for me was the time difference, my time kept changing as weather chai.

We were served rice with chicken , Na so I no fit chop am because hmmm, I like eba and afang and so everything was strange. I told them to give me the dry bread n butter n water.


We got to Dublin around 6:35 am and some passengers dropped and we waited for 45 mins still seated for refilling n all that. We got to Toronto around 8:am(again time difference).

I filled my covid form on the system provided n was given a slip, proceeded to immigration, I was asked for passport , loa and school fees receipt, then he gave my study permit to me and went further by telling me about the 20hrs allowed for work .

I was there waiting for more question but none , I also waited for welcome to Canada , rather he said enjoy your stay and that was it.

Moved to take my connecting flight to Vancouver, that’s how they told me I must quarantine in Toronto, told them my mandatory hotel stay was booked in Vancouver and my flight would soon move , them no hear , had to cancel my booking and rebook in Toronto .

Please no matter where you going in Canada , as far as you stopping at Toronto, reserve your hotel in Toronto, that’s the only way they will allow you move further.

Did my covid test and was given a test kit to retest a week after and then we were taken to our hotel . Currently quarantining at Toronto before moving to my final destination.

For all PPR hopeful , I wish everyone nothing but good news.
Amen.

He should go and do a new medical immediately. No need waiting for the former to expire.

badmanjo:
Good evening guys, some of you might remember me posting the PPR of my friend about 2 weeks ago, now IRCC have sent him to go renew his medical as it is going to expire by JULY 30th. The question is now he plans on travelling on July 14th does he still need to do a new medical as he'll be in Canada b4 the medical expires

She can go for a Human Resource Graduate Program. Many Law graduates tow the line of Human Resources and she currently works with tax payers and people. Tax, pension and insurance is an arm of HR.

She understands the law as it pertains to employee and people management, so in line with her current experience.... she can opt for a HR program and do justice to explaining why she is selecting the course, her goal and what she wants to achieve on her SOP.

All the best to her.

Thank you. I await your response.

The present masters program can be removed from any of your online profiles if it’s currently included, LinkedIn and co. Other opinions are welcome.

Oreoluwamipo:
Hope it won't be known during eligibility and background checks?

If you want to go for a premasters program, then don’t declare your existing masters program..... that should work.

Teemenzo:
Hello guys, as adviced i did some research on masters studies and phd. The cgpa requirements are crazy. My cgpa is 2.81 and their minimum is 3.0. But i found a Pre-master's program in University of Manitoba. What do you think, should i go fo the pre-master's and also its just a year program before applying for the actual masters.

Hello dear. Please where did you take the vaccine?

CHIKACIC:
Just took my first dose of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine.
I was told to come back in 6 weeks time (2nd August) for the second dose.
Also that the side effects differs, but commonly headache, pains and high temperature. I was advised by the Nurse to take paracetamol once I get home or start experiencing any of the above side effects.

Hope this helps for those you need the info.

ray007bu:
My fellow “Sunday ghost updates” crew. It has happened again lol

Thanks so much. I combined my files with software and that made it so large at the end of the day. I used JPEG on word and converted to PDF. I’m fine now.

Thanks Boss

MadeMan01:
Google hyper pdf compressor

Mr Bobo. Thank you very much for this.... I used the JPEG idea and it worked for me. You’re the best

Lekiboboe:

Wow! Okay... I’ll ask around. Thank you NgumimiT ��

NgumimiT:
If you know someone that has the paid version of Adobe get them to optimize and resize it from there. That’s what I used and I got to 3MB and all documents were very clear

Hello All, hope we are having a good day?

There is nothing I have not done to resize my PDF. I’ve been on this since yesterday.

Please how did you guys compress your LOE and your documents? Nothing seems to work. Ilovepdf, smallpdf, pdfcompressor. Started with saving word to pdf, this reduced it.... but the struggle is to get to 4mb. I’m currently at 10mb.

I’ve taken out some documents too.

Please if anyone knows how I can solve this “problem”, please let me know as my tired is tired.

Thank you

Sapte:
Congratulations what God cannot do does nit exist. I am next inline. April Applicants get ready for PPR.

Based on what i've seen, I think most April applicants have gotten responses. I really don't understand the order IRCC uses to respond to applications.

You are good to go. All the best

HaywhyA:
a postgraduate certificate course

Hello! Goodmorning. I’m sure you must have gotten responses already. I saw a video where a Visa consultant outlined some courses that are not considered progressive in Canada, and History is one of them. So going for that course is not an option, more so now that you do not have an experience in it.

Please go into Fashion, you wouldn’t even have to justify much... like you said, you have your portfolio. It is the only experience you have and that alone justifies going for a fashion postgraduate course.

Wishing you the very best.

dupsydooo:
Good morning house......... I have read and read and yet still not giving up
I have reached my conclusion
I'm not giving up, even with the positive vibes here I am still not giving up

Lemme make it short

I studied history and international studies and graduated 2015 with a 3rd class

I'm 32yers
Now I taught of having another bachelor degree in fashion design although I have 11years experience in fashion and I can easily give my portfolio.

Or
Would you think going for postgraduate in history will be helpful because I checked some schools and they started asking for portfolios, research and even volunteer work in my field line which I don't even have any........


Please where do I belong, where do I start from
How do I go about it
At least I'm tired of procrastinating, the time is now.........

Please with your experience advice me
And even with school options

Bec have watched YouTube tire, google sef.......


God will perfect all that concerns us as we do so

Wow! That was fast. It’s obvious Abuja is faster than Lagos. Congrats

Lianna2020:
My stamped passport just got to me from Abuja
I sent it May 28 and received it June 7.

Hello HaywhyA,

Is it a postgraduate certificate course you are going in for? Or an ordinary certificate, please be specific so people can be clear on how to advise you. Cheers

HaywhyA:
Hello,

Please do you think I have chances of getting a study visa for a certificate course? I have a bachelor degree already from Nigeria.
