There will be a portion you will fill if you’ve done biometrics in the last 10 years in your application.

You don’t need to attach anything. They will sort it out themselves

Adeade98:
Please , I will be re-applying tomorrow for my study application, please I wish to know how to attach my biometric so as for IRCc to register my biometric for the new application.

What a good news.
I’ve been away for a while.

God help Person

It's PPR for my brother. I'm so happy.

Second time applicant; Conestoga College
1st application was done through an agent. He Got a rejection due to financial reasons. We ordered his GCSMS and the Visa officer claimed he didn't have enough proof of relationship with his sponsor (Sister). Hence, he wasn't sure he will be able to afford it financially.
He had to defer his admission to January 2023 and re-applied again. All thanks to @scott99tish for his advice.

Second application: Self

Application submission : 27th August

Upfront Medical passed : 26th September

Eligibility: Ghost update. Didn't know when it was updated.

Original passport collection: 17th November

What we did different to address the visa officers concerns (proof of relationship with sponsor);

I opened a canadian GIC account and Submitted the GIC certificate

I Wrote a strong SOP and LOE explaining that sponsor is my blood sister

- Sponsors notorized Affidavit of sponsorship
Sponsors birth certificate, old pictures, old/dated whatsapp messages
Notarized Affidavit of relationship
Recent family pictures
Letter of sponsorship from sponsor
Family tree
Sponsors marriage and change of name certificate/Affidavit
Bank statements
Sponsors Assets

Awesome. Just ensure you send it to Abuja to avoid another delay…

You’re Welcome…

rukky2much:
I was out of the country and was tied up there (offshore). Got back and sent the passport immediately but the courier guy messed it up. I mailed them anyways and they responded that my request for extension has been noted. Thanks for your response.

30days was given for passport submission na. Why the delay ?
Something that I couldn’t even sleep before submitting the next day.

Well, I will advice you mail them multiple times to inform them of delay and when you’re likely sending it…

Mail embassy as well as VAC.

Best of luck.
Regards.

rukky2much:
Hello everyone, is it a big issue if I missed the passport submission deadline by 1 day. Will the visa still be issued? They didn't accept the passport from the courier today (12pm) saying they have closed and asked him to come back on Monday. And that will be one day after the 30 days deadline.

Why the rush ?
GCMS is the only thing that will tell you the exact reason for refusal, to know how to tackle it rightly…

Well, best of luck on your new application.

Timex146:
I also applied for my GCMS note since 6th of June, Nothing up till now.Application refused 8th of June. I’ve kuku reapplied.

They still use this COVID as an excuse when everyone has resumed fully. Smh

NO. Fully vaccinated is the 2 jabs.

Booster is optional.

dbeautyful:
Hello Scott99tish,

Does full vaccination include the booster jabs?

Covid test was not mentioned in my post because it’s not required for fully vaccinated personnel since 1st of April 2022.

JohnyF:

This will be updated on your portal within 24 hours you received your passport back.

Landing Gist !!!


Well, I was aspiring to type lot of story but my trip was quite short and simple than expected. No much questioning at allll.
Airline: Egyptair
Time: 14:00 on 2nd of May 2022

I got to Airport at 9am to avoid crowd ahead of travel time. I was the second person attended to for boarding pass.
Baggage: 29kg and 30km
Hand luggage: 12kg

I had lot of loads that I couldn't afford to drop some as I did some cargo ahead self for my fiancée in Toronto, That's why I had lots still. So I did bargain with the personnel who did calculation and said I will pay 75USD for extra to upgraded baggage of 32kg. I used Naija way reduce ham to 50USD as I hid some other baggage earlier sef. It was more. So we sha added all of them to the bags since I've paid. Lot of milk, fish and food items.
Document requested: ArriveCan, Vaccination card, Passport then Got my boarding pass.

I waited with my family for pictures till 12noon before moving in.
Advice, Avoid crowdy entry. A friend here told me to go through Gate E which I did. Very simple. Immigration passed me quickly without much questioning. The man was gisting with me sef giving me the right pronunciation of Toronto that I will blend soon. He checked the Acceptance letter and stamped me.

Money declaration man, He got interested in me that I paid full tuition fee (Big Boy) then We started family gist ooo when I said I am not a big boi. That it is Owo omo oni iru, omo alata, lol. At some point I was avoiding his gist but He was loving it, discussing with a young man about Life. He eventually said Good luck out there, Off you go.

Peace... Got to airline session, the lady there started gist too, then I kept thinking which soap did I use sef that They want to be making friends and not even doing usual Bambiala, Lol... She said Go in peace too.
We left Lagos Exactly 2pm.
Meals and movie on egyptair was great, I ate all. Arrived Egypt at 8:30pm and waited for our 5 hours stopover.
Left exactly 1:30am as they asked same document; Passport, ArriveCan, and Vaccination card.

Ate 3 meals before morning, They have amazing movies. All great. I made an Egypt-Canadian friend on the plane (Husband and Wife) They were awesome. watched same movies, Ate same meal as they were so cool.

Arrived Canada 1:48pm Nigerian time (8:48am Canadian time).
Note: Kindly fill your declaration form online before leaving Nigeria to save you stress. Went to self-declaration machine to scan my passport and I got my ticket once under 20secs.

First level asked me for passport and declaration ticket then Proceeded to another for first time arrival permits. Devil wanted to work small but God gat it under control. We were asked for letter of Introduction; My hands was dried that I needed spit to sort my document (Nigerian way) then this woman just shouted at me: SO RUDE, I DON'T NEED YOUR PAPERS...
I was like Alaye calm down na, I needed to separate my papers na, I had to bring out my hand sanitizer to satisfy her, Yet she said She told me she's not interested in my papers that I should bring just my passport then she went to print it herself, Alakoba.
Avoid using spit for paper sorting.

I was shaking that I didn't even know when I gave her my passport, I think she picked it herself cuz she told me to sit. Then I was looking for passport that Village people don come o.

When I was called, and I saw my passport with the person, then I felt more relaxed.
No much question asked. He just asked me for which school and course then He gave me my study permit and work permit.

Bless God.
Fiancée came to pick me. Drove me home then I realize I didn't waste money. This land is beautiful sha.
I drove later in the evening to get some stuffs like a road learner. Forget your Jason Statham skills in Nigeria, When you reach here, You gatz learn, Lol. So organized.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR all the best. Success !!!
See attached some photos...

Hi,

Your funds available = School fees paid + balance of school fees (if any) if with you or sponsor in account + Cost of living and miscellaneous available for your trip.

Mean funds available is total funds.

MirahO:
For someone that did GIC of 10,000.00  CAD what  amount should the person fill in the section for "funds available for stay in Canada(in Canadian dollars)"? 

Not the booking reference.
It’s the flight entering Canada.

Once you select the Airline, you will see that the flight name will be filled, all you need insert is just the number of the plane entering Canada

kennyjoy:


1. Your Original departure is NIGERIA.
2. Your flight number is your Booking reference.

Hi,

1. Original departure country is Nigeria.
2. As stated in my post above, The flight entering Canada.

Regards.

Calmdancer21:
Please house I am filling my ArriveCAN form, I need a little clarification from people who have done this before, I have one stopover at Doha

Calmdancer21:

Calmdancer21:

Yes. One way…

Aissy:

Hi all,

Quick question…
Partner want me to bring some powdered milk for her.

I know I’ve seen it somewhere from some people that milk is not allowed and some said they carried.

Pls do you have idea if I can carry powdered milk ?

You can easily get that from Google.

Google is your friend.

emmalextemtop:
Hello!

You can clearly read the Error.
Portal didn’t stop working.

Just follow the instructionz. Do not leave any period out of the 10 years asked. If you’re jobless for some month/year, state it

Trailblazer21:
Good day fellow Nairalander,

Please who else has experienced that the new portal is no longer working. It just stopped me at employment history and keeps giving error message even after I have filled everything.

Who else has experienced this? Should I just jejely use GCKEY?
