Michigan Technological University are just stingy with fundings. Tueh!!
I got two offers of admission in Chemical and environmental engineering for fall 2023, and none of them came with fundings!

When I emailed one of the directors of the programs, I got the reply below �

No they are not stingy when you are funded. You get 8000 + per term and full health insurance.

Good day everyone,

Please how can one do this WES evaluate both HND and OND? I have created an account but want to know if they are going to be evaluated separately or together as one certificate?

If you have any link to any govt agency please let me know.

I have been trying to figure out why the cars in Nigeria got so much low mileage when they are so high in the USA and CANADA? Also when you compare the prices of those cars with lower mileage in Nig and US or Canada the prices for those in the latter countries are higher. why?

My timeline
The journey started in 2020 when i applied for visa for myself and my family together after i got admission for a phd in mcgill. I didnt get funding so i looked for a sponsor who was not a close relative my visa was denied alongside that of my family on basis of funds no travel history and that what was the perosn standing to gain in sponsoring my education. Now i went back to the drawing board decided to reapply alone got some level of funding from my supervisor 18k cad per year then i also got a gift of deed from my parents to increase my financial capacity added the sponsor statement again paid my full tuition for winter 2021 january then reapplied again in december 2020. My visa was approved in my but i didnt travel till july ending. I applied for my spouse sowp while i was in nigeria on 22nd of July 2021 and then the wait started.
Did upfront medicals for her but didnt do for the two kids becos they were both less than 3yrs as at then.
I was scared for 3 major reasons
1. financially becos i only had 5k USD in dorm account, 2m in my naira account and 2.4m in my spouse naira account as well as my sponsorship letter for the application.
2. I applied from nigeria and most gurus adviced against that although immediately i enter canada i sent my study permit as well as sin and invitation letter to support spouse application via webform and email
3. I changed my program from a phd to a masters when i entered and these things made me afraid
When i waited and waited I booked a flight in december to come see my family and made my two kids do medical then. I came back in january hoping to get the news of their approval soon but it took another 6months. Although i sent my flight itenary as well as transcripts and other bursaries and funding i got and even my canada bank statement but they were just acknowledged IRCC didnt work on the file. My Mp started the follow up since sept and he did it till june 15th He is really a wonderful man. He even told me last week that they already put a brought forward date on my spouse sowp file to treat it on july 6 next week.
Lets i forget i sent message to IRCC virtually almost every day and it got to a point in march that dey said i shud apply for my kids vv on the new portal so i quickly applied for my kids and spouse on march 25 2022 yet nothing. I kept on sending them mails and webform infact i sent mail to the minister of immigrations, countless times. On may 2nd my kids application attached to my wifes sowp was withdrawn on the old portal.
Finally, yesterday i think they withdraw my wifes application for VV and approved that of my kids and then sent her a medical request on her sowp portal becos her upfront medical was done june 22 2021 so it had expired i was even thinking it was july so i spoke to one of my bosses @akintommy and he was like to push it IRCC has reviewed it that was why dey requested for another. We have started to find how to get the medical done fast fast ooo so that i can send the passport together if possible.
Sincerely, i entered and came out of depression so many times but Thank God it ended in praises. Nah to start to live the canadian dream remain. Because Canada is like the back yard of heaven. Nigeria is like the backyard of hell. God will answer everyone on the waiting list with PPR.
#Greatful heart#

Congratulations. I want to totally disagree with you, Canada isn't anything close to what you just term it to be and Nigeria isn't either. Visit Australia, Germany or Malaysia or Singapore and you would change that. If not for our govt.

afrobrown2000:
@skull4eva hmm its all depends when/date you want to travel, airline and the point of entry....i got 1.7m for a family of 4 its was a herculean task wifey runs a travel company ...we had to waitlist and eyes on it for a cheaper ticket to drop for the end of this month

That is so cheap bro. How did you do it?

I have been trying to pay for Egypt air. Please how can I make payment for egypt air ticket?

Please I have two questions: 1, Do we still need COVID-19 Test to travel to Canada? 2, If your SOWP is less than 6 months do you need to book a return ticket?

Please For those that have stamped their passport for sowp, do you get letter of introduction?

Alhamdulillah, Verily there is surely light at the end of the tunnel.

After praising and thanking the LORD of the Universe, the creator of man from a clot of blood, I pray that everyone waiting would get a positive response soon.

My Story is so long but I would leave that for another day.

SOWP Submitted Oct 11th 2021
Biometric Oct 14th 2021
Medical upfont pass Oct 25th
Applied for VV on Nov. 23rd, 2021, and it was rejected on Dec 7th, 2021. Beginning of my depression
Applied for another VV on Feb 20th, 2022 and it was rejected 24th April 2022. Depression got deeper and I stopped going to the Lab (working from home but with low productivity). Finished my winter semester and my graduate coordinator, advisors and everyone around me felt so sad for me and I also felt sad for myself. At this point, I was already like I'm leaving Canada and I literarily got no positive view of Canada.
I went to my MPs office and they are literarily doing nothing and just saying I need to wait till the processing time elapse.
Eligibility Started June 14th. Then I started to fire email, and webform everyday.
Yesterday I sent an email to all of the offices from my own email telling them how depressing I am. Here I attached my transcript enrolment letter, updated finance, and landed document to Abuja, Lagos, London, and Nairobi.
I couldn't sleep overnight so one of my good brothers here that I pray that Allah grant his wife the PPR (today Bihitnillah) called me and we spoke and pray that we hear from IRCC soon. After some minutes I received an email from Abuja that I need to send a webform and I immediately responded to their email by saying I have done that 1000000 times. Well, after like 1 hr I stood up to see what webform they even asked me to send. As I sat on my chair like this I just saw the Golden email from on my wife's email (I have access to my wife's email) and it was at that time that I went on sujud (prostration) to Glory the Lord that created the earth and peg it with the rocks.
BVL and PPR June 23rd 2021.

Alhamdulillah.

Toceen2022:

I'm sure the intention was not to mislead anyone.
Few years back, that was the transmission fee. So, if anyone tries to help by posting the information, it may have been copied from the old post when the fee was ₦7430

Thanks bro,

atoke2021:
Hello. I want to send the passport for stamping.
I’m a bit confused about the transmission fee. If I am sending the passport of the Lagos office (we did biometrics in Lagos) should we still pay the transmission fee?

Thank you

No if you're sending to Lagos but yes 9410 if you're sending to Abj

Nikky6:

Well well. I’m a lowkey observer here.

I got my bvl/ppr (SOWP) today. I’m grateful to the almighty for his mercies. After trials and errors, multiple denials and delays, finally God came through. I applied since October 2021, got my medicals passed this Monday, and today I got my good news.

I’m talking to you reading this….don’t give up, pray and chill….God did not forget you, your blessings are inevitable. Can’t wait to see the beautiful city and meet my beautiful wife. God bless everyone.

Congratulations, I pray for the favor of Allah too.

Thank God it has ended in praise.

Its PPR for my husband's SOWP!!!

Application submitted: Oct 17, 2021
Upfront medical: Nov 30, 2021
Medicals Passed: March 7, 2022
BVL and PPR : June 18, 2022

I give God all the glory for this blessing.
I got my study permit in August 2021 for the Fall 2021 session and I came into Canada with my second daughter in October 2021. My first daughter has been in Canada since 2017 studying, so we came to join her, while I also started my own program.
My husband applied for his open work permit and the wait began....we never knew it would would be delayed this long. I was so hopeful that he would get his permit by December 2021 so we would all have a white Christmas. December came, nothing happened...came to the SOWP thread on nairaland and saw that people had been waiting for months...as far back as January 2021. This wasn't encouraging at all.
We kept sending webforms and emails. I would send webforms on my husband's behalf, I also asked him to keep sending from his side. Gave him all the email addresses and the webform links I used during my study permit application (got them from the student visa thread).
Meanwhile, my daughter's graduation was drawing near, June 14, 2022 precisely, so we decided to use that as an opportunity for IRCC to speed up my husband's application so he could attend our daughter's graduation.
I asked my daughter to send a mail to the MP of the city where she resides while I also did to the MP of my own city. Her own MP responded, gave us the status of the application and said the application was in progress but might not be ready by her graduation. I got automated response from mine directing me to IRCC website. He hasn't really never been helpful, even when I contacted him during my study permit application.
With the news from my daughter's MP, we were hopeful but not certain if anything would happen before graduation because he mentioned it in his response. But we kept sending mails to IRCC.
About 1 week to our daughter's graduation, I changed the subject of the email to "URGENT PLEASE! MY DAUGHTER'S GRADUATION IS ONE WEEK AWAY!".....nothing about application update or enquiry...LOL, because I thought maybe they weren't even reading all the emails we had been sending, that once they see the subject, they just assume it's the usual enquiry email and they don't bother to read it....my thoughts though.
Graduation came and went, no show. Then 4 days after graduation, he got the 2 emails from IRCC.
Even though this came in much after our daughter's graduation, I am grateful to God for it has ended well to the glory of God.

I pray that everyone still waiting will receive their good news soon in Jesus name.

Note: Eligibility did not start on the portal till his PPR dropped.

Congratulations, I pray for the favor of Allah too.
