I applied January, got NSE request early February to submit mybankstatement, i was not this equipped with information then so i sent a mail declining the request without any reason. I think that was my mistake. I should have either ignored or sent a mail giving a valid reason for not being able to provide it. I did not want to liquidate and I was more concerned about making interest income.

dyce101:


When was that ma?

It was my first application unfortunately, the application was refused 2 days after I failed to provide it. Till now it's still showing action required.

Peacekid:


Go ahead and upload a doc explaining the reason why you ignored the NSE request in both sections, then submit.

This thing is even still showing on my first application that was delayed, although i just ignore it. I have also been meaning to know why?

dyce101:
Good morning guys, any reason why my application is still showing this ??

I submitted aprill 28tg

i will advise, before you embark on anything, download your statement and if possible send it to them again. i am resending the statements more like a reminder and to inform them that i believe the statements with them may have been stale/over 4 months old. However, ensure it is readily available as my own intention of moving the funds is to put it in a fixed deposit instead of it just sitting in a bank account earning nothing.

Hi everyone, Please i need clarification on something. I applied with a gifted sum of money, i was gifted the sum of money for my study permit and its been in my account for a while now. since IRCC has refused to answer me for like 3 months now. Can i use part of the money cause this money has just been sitting in my account without any active use.

Kindly advice

Or less than sef. You really can settle down within 2 weeks before resumption but try to book your flight early though.

To be safe make it exactly 4 weeks Abeg

So I duno if it’s allowed here but I don’t intend to break the rules.

I felt I can share what I gained. I recently listened to an Instagram live discussion on KSA’s page with an ex-VO, Annie who is now an immigration consultant.

It was helpful as I was able to see through the eyes of a typical visa officer. Even though their views may vary as everyone is different. it was insightful hearing from the other side and what she generally thinks about the high visa refusals from Nigeria.

See link if you wish to watch and if the link is not accessible, go to KSAs page and search for the interview he had with Anie.

I’m sure you responded to the wrong message. I was responding to Intimadationjay who’s going to Victoria BC

patty10:
university of Winnipeg. Please send me a message so we can chat privately

Almost the 5th note I am seeing in addition to mine. You order for your notes 2-3 months after applying and you realize 5 cad has gone to waste.

I think it’s now a tactic, it’s not a coincidence.

Unfortunately there’s nothing much to deduce, wait it out and if you have been praying alone, add fasting to it and at the back of your mind just take it that no news is good news. Someone had eligibility blank and she got PPR, just can’t determine the assurance from just one persons case.

Ketima:
Finally my Note has arrived but eligibility is super blank. Can't find any pre-assessment note. Guess I have to go allow my GCkey to rest small. The poor thing don suffer for my hand.
Any hope from the note at all?

Applied for the note: June 29
Note arrived : July 30

Sure, I’m female, what school are you going to?

IntimidationJay:
please do you mind we connect.

So I sent a mail to the MP in Victoria, she forwarded it to another MP who was the caseworker for exact region covering my school. I wrote a very compelling mail stating reasons why I needed a swift response from IRCC. I was asked for more information which I just provided.
I do hope that this prompts IRCC to make a decision.

#April17th applicant

Me, but still awaiting PPR

IntimidationJay:
Please is there anybody going to Victoria in British Columbia? Hola!

Amen. This was soul lifting thank you.

Chisolove3:
Good
evening house
So am led to pray for the house before we go to sleep tonight, I see all the agitations, anxiety and fear and I ask God to take control.
Heavenly father we thank you for a day like this, we appreciate all you have done for us, for helping us in so many ways we can't fathom,Lord we say may your name be highly exalted in Jesus name, Lord, we bring your children into your able hands,there is nothing too hard for you to do...we see what you're doing for others, father there are still those hoping, praying and waiting upon you for their decision, Lord we ask that you grant them their heart desires...my father, I decree and declare that the Visa Officers will not get sleep until they have given us our PPR...father for those that their application has lingered, remember them in Jesus name. Lord I use my husband's application as a point of contact to every other application here that from now till first week of August, we will get our PPR's in Jesus name, Amen! Oh God cover our errors, hide them oh Lord,when our applications comes in front of the VO,let it find favour in their eyes in Jesus name... Lord give us our PPR,Lord give us rest,free our hearts from worrying and give us a positive answer in Jesus might name we have prayed,Amen!!
Good night FAM..relax God is in control!

Exactly how my notes looked 2 months into my application. Sadly there’s not much information to draw conclusions from so fingers crossed. I will say order another note after one month from now.

My first notes were ordered 28th May, got it 28th June

Ordered another 12th July, hoping to get PPR before it arrives 12th August.

aWITNESS:
Good evening great minds. Trust we are all doing great. So my GCMS finally came in today and I have attached screenshots for the gurus to help interpret. I noticed the MBS certificate sent via webform on July 2, is not updated. Thanks in advance.

May 15th applicant.

Finally I find someone in the same boat. My eligibility review started 1 day after submission. By the time my notes came, eligibility was blank. All I can deduce is it has not started or they intentionally concealed the information. But for what reason?

So all I can depend on is to believe no news is good news

Perseverer:


The eligibility review of a thing doesn't say much bro.

My eligibility review started two days after submission of application. Nothing till now.

Someone submitted application in February, and eligibility review started almost immediately. Nothing till now.

I think backlog and oversight can make Consular officers leave some files, while we keep thinking eligibility review is ongoing.

Most times, what's ongoing is background check, not Eligibility review.

Eligibility review shouldn't take more than three days to complete.

Study GCMS notes and you will see what I mean.

amen! i am hopeful. i am a lady btw

JosephYemsol:


Relax sir , m very sure your PPR is by the corner

same for you also.
I foresee our PPR coming same day.

EmeeNaka:
it wouldn't have come to ADR sef, they would never know of the changes that led to the new LOA from my DLI if I didn't send the documents. I believe I made mistake to have sent a new LOA to them.
As for the Denial you forgot to declare, it should not cause any elongation of the processing time, since you sent them the notice earlier. I think they're working on your application, you will soon see the result

It is a good thing you are seeing that activity. recommencing is good, it means with the updated document, its as though your application took a step backward because they need to verify that again. it's also good you were proactive because it could come in form of an ADR and cause another delay. Mine I see no clues. the only thing i know consider reason for the delay is because during active review, i reforwarded one of my IMM forms because i forgot to declare my denial although i made reference to it in my SOP. but haba, since same April that i corrected it, it haf do.

EmeeNaka:
it's difficult to understand what's In the mind of the Visa Officers. My eligibility started after one month but a month after it started, it reversed, after I sent an updated LOA. It's really a tortuous journey

my only worry is, my application isnt following the usual dynamics i have seen here. i have seen people's eligibility starting months after submitting. my own eligibility changed and started like a day after i submitted, and that since April 18. it has been that way ever since. no ghost update since May when i passed my meds. gcms notes eligibility blank. so its a really worrisome situation.

RollyA:
i drafted it myself, and a member of my board of directors signed. it really isn't an issue. my first application was delayed and they are only trying to be sure if i am still going because i need like a month to handover and to employ someone else.

Anon123:


Omo, this is why people draft study leave themselves. You dont inform your employer about your travel plans cos what if it doesnt go through, visa denied, present job position in jeopardy.

same here. i had to send another mail to Nairobi yesterday because my employer who approved a study leave asked for feedback since i indicated i will be leaving in August, they ought to have gotten my handover and actively looking for a replacement by now.

i never expected it to take this long. the wait is traumatizing, the self-doubt, fear, sleepless nights, anxiety. It will end in praise and it will become a thing of the past soon.

EmeeNaka:
the wait is taking it's toll on me too. It's not easy. But we will be fine eventually

I did not say it is impossible, i said its illogical especially in Nigeria.

possessor1:
Some employers give study leave of 2 years.

Still here, looks like we are reducing in numbers daily and thats a good thing. Im hopeful, PPR will drop this week #april17applicant

EmeeNaka:
Please are there still April Applicants waiting for PPR here??

like i said before, no news is probably good news. i'm hopeful and this is encouraging, my fellow eligibility blank sister. thank God it has ended in praise. congratulations

Teenie19:
Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories !

undergrad may not work. it is not logical for any employer to give you study leave for more than 1 year if you ask me

Kriptune:


Does one going for undergraduate Studies need to show proof of study leave too?

mine i think was majorly cos i did not give a reason for rejecting the request, or maybe i should just have ignored it without saying anything. my bank was on the list of mybankstatement users so in their head, what is the excuse.

it may not be something to be scared about. i just stressed the fact that from research, they really like to see cash naira or dollar, fixed deps and co documents are preferred maybe for 2nd year if course is 2 years.

this is just my opinion and experience it does not mean i am totally correct.

dotoracs:
Hmmm... This scares me cos I have my POF in mutual funds and bonds. That can be liquidated at the earliest instance.

you need 10k cad for first year plus your tuition balance, do the maths. did your sponsor have more than enough especially to take care of himself, ideally maybe logically another 4-5m separately and/or hes making income monthly for upkeep?

Aissy:
8million

same thoughts i just shared.

kunbeeee:
This is tricky o. Are you allowed to work more than the 20 hrs per week while studying? Even if the work is not in canada? I'm not sure sha. Maybe the gurus in the house can confirm.

this may be a red flag. i may be wrong. so while you are studying, and probably working in canada for 20 hours, you will still have an obligation to your employer here. i mean, its abit off. if you did not get a study leave, the alternative is to prove how you can easily reintegrate when you get back or your employer even writing that they will be willing to give you your job back or something.

patty10:
I really need more on this. I am self sponsored, I have paid my school fees in full and also have a balance of about $20k. I am working but I didn’t get a study leave, however I submitted a letter from my boss recommending me for study and saying I am welcome to continue working part time as I school. Is this ok?

so i was refused for this same reason in my first application.

If you could take a cue, in my notes, it was as though the visa officer tried to say i did not provide evidence of my financial status. till today, i still say i cant understand the vo's concerns cos i knew that was not true. but i figured the nse request may have been the deal breaker. I got the request but responded that i couldnt provide it, i did not state a reason. cos for me i felt, you guys have my bank statement, fixed deposits, pension statements, mutual fund statement. thats enough. lol.

I honestly did not want to break my fixed deposit. lol

Although i havent gotten PPR but i am hopeful, so what i did differently was to make my mum a co-sponsor (my uncle was my main sponsor for my first application), the money she paid, i used it to immediately pay my tuition so i paid like 85% of my tuition and i still had over 30k cad cash (liquidated into my bank this time) from my first application intact.

I showed all this using the mybankstatement i kuku did not want to provide the first time. lol. i did mybankstatements for my sponsor and myself.

i will recommend you wait for your notes but pending the time, it does not hurt to pay more tuition if not all while you wait.
But i have learnt from research, they really like liquid cash over fixed deposit and the likes. goodluck though

Aissy:
That I won’t leave Canada Based on personal asset and financial status

Omo, In this case for me, I won’t gamble. I will just do another even if I have to borrow. She has spent this much to get to this point, 45k won’t be the barrier. Give to Caesar they say!

Lekiboboe:
Good morning great minds.

I got a friend who wants to travel August 13th, and enter Canada August 14th (the next day) - Flight Booked Already

She did her Medicals August 14th 2020, ideally
it should be valid till August 14th, 2021 but
recently, IRCC sent her a mail that her medicals would expire August 17th, so which date should she rely on? The date on the mail notification from IRCC (August 17th) or the August 14th she did the medicals.

Presently she doesn't have a budget to do another medicals.

I want to know if it's safe for her to travel August 13th & enter Canada August 14th

Thanks

Amen! Surely I will, we need to look out for ourselves in a foreign land. If she belongs to any group for royal roads students please intimate me.

afrobrown2000:
@RollyA God will make it happen in due course ...keep in touch wifey will definitely need naija friends

My dear!!! Guess you are sleeping well these days. Our own eyes have plaster till the 2 beautiful mails drop.

LadyBlaq:
