gracedson:
Lol, e big pass the other ones nah.

Feels so good seeing it right? Been looking at mine everytime.

gracedson:
I just got back my Passport stamped, this stamp looks so beautiful.

Slow but surely and steadily, you will win this race. I remember your story so well. I am rooting for you.

Teemenzo:
So a brief update on the journey so far

I became serious with this faceless platform now turned family on the 26th of June this year. That was when i knew i was dealing with a clown as a agent. Fast forward to some days after calling it quit with him, my Nairaland Soldier was able to rescue me and collect my money back. The same 26th, i opened a new GCKey, also applied to Cambrian college but no response yet. A week after i was able to apply to Fanshawe college where i finally got admission in eaxctly a week.

Tuition fee deposit paid. Just concluded my ielts test today. And about to apply for my study permit.

Slow but its steady.

That’s great. Well done

Teemenzo:
Thank you Steph, it went well

I have seen a couple of people post that they were issued a separate work permit at the border.

Teenie19:
Hello everyone,

Do they issue co-op work permit at the airport or you apply for it separately? Thank you

All the best today. I am sure you will do well.

Teemenzo:
Good morning guys, I'm going for my ielts test this morning. Na only God fit run am as my spirit don comot for that test since the last time i did it in 2018.

I pray plenty PPRs drop today as most schools are resuming next week. God will favour everyone expecting PPR. No more refusals or rejections in Jesus name. Joy overflow in Jesus name. Amen

Congratulations

ODUNESKI:
Just got ppr!

Sending this here to encourage someone, wish everyone still waiting the best and good news soon!

No you don’t need to send anymore documents.

Mzrosy:
Good morning everyone
Going with this information, I submitted just one copy of consent form with the page two only filled and signed, although I received a notification of the receipt of my passport from VAC Abuja yesterday
Please do I still need to send another consent form because going through the previous pages,I saw that two copies of consent form is required
Has anyone received passport stamping after submitting just one copy of consent form?

Yes I got a request the additional documents and I did immediately. Total processing time was 3 months.

tourphland:
Please did you use nse route?
Like how many months or weeks is it?

This is for people who applied from inside Canada

tourphland:
Does this thing really work?

I noticed people getting replies now applied April and May.

Any June applicant who had gotten a reply?

You will be sent a request letter asking for additional documents if you qualify for the NSE route except you submitted it with your application. The additional documents are IELTS of 6.0 and 1 year mybankstatement.

tourphland:
Good day peeps

How do you know you are going through nse route.

Though i applied with my ielts, I didn’t use an MBS because I didn’t use a naija account.

I never got an nse request too. They just said “we do not need any other documents from you”

I dunno if i am on nse or normal route.

It’s past 2 months of application though, so i guess its normal route. Or how can I really know if it’s normal or nse?

Thanks

PPR Request.

Please how much am I suppose to pay to CA's account for transmitting my passport from Lagos to Abuja?

Your landing gist is sweet. I will definitely connect as I am landing in Toronto next weekend.

ray007bu:
LONG POST ALERT

LANDING GISTT

Omo, I’ve been inactive here for like a week and I just want to say congratulations to everyone that has gotten PPR and also to those that got delyed, please keep pushing, IT WILL DEFINITELY END IN PRAISE.

Traveled on the 23rd of August with Lufthansa (booked on AirCanada website). Let me just say that I’ll advise those that plan to use AirCanada to use someone already in Canada to help them to book because I made the mistake of booking from Nigeria only for me to receive a mail like a week to my flight that “my payment was not confirmed “ and I should come and make payment in person at any of their service centers (NOTE: AirCanada does not have any service Centre in Nigeria). My aunt was able to help me go to the Toronto Pearson Airport and make payment again and they later refunded my money.

So back to the D-day, i had a connecting flight with Lufthansa to Frankfurt and then from Frankfurt to Toronto which was set for 10:55pm. People are leaving this country ooo, the queue to enter Murtala Mohammed airport was so long and I heard people had even been on the queue for up to 2 hours. Mine didn’t take that long as I got to the airport around 6:30pm and the line had started moving.

Finally entered and had to go and weigh my bag because I knew it was more than the accepted kg (I had 32kg and 17kg). I balanced it sha because I don’t have money for extra luggage and my folks had to take some stuff back home.
When it was time to get boarding pass, they asked for passport, flight ticket and scanned my Covid test. They also gave me that yellow card to fill in my details. It’s advisable to wrap your foodstuff (it’s 1k) for protection.

My family couldn’t follow me past this point and this was when the floodgates opened ooo, me that was forming hard girl hard girl (Thank God for face mask lol)

At Customs, they asked for my boarding pass, passport (which they stamped) and then you’ll have to remove your shoes and any gadgets you have in your hand luggage.

My flight to Frankfurt was short sha because I slept most of it. The food was cold so I just had tea.

When I got to Frankfurt, it got interesting. Their method of searching, check-in and boarding was very organized. There was a woman there that her Covid test had expired and they told her she would have to redo it (very expensive at that airport).

The flight to Toronto was much longer and AirCanada’s movie selection is top notch. I didn’t even know when I had watched 3 full movies but then no WiFi (you have to pay for it)

Once we landed ehn, first thing I did was Thank God because no be me do am, I’m still shocked sef. Canada Border services asked for Enrollment letter, Admission letter, proof of funds (gave them my funding letter) and then Covid test and I was given my study permit. I also registered on Switch health for arrival Covid test so I ddnt have to stay on the long queue and was out of there within minutes, they also gave me hometest kit for Day 8 (I’m not fully vaccinated)

Right now, I’m on Day 9 of my quarantine (Hotel accommodation provided by my school for 14 days) and I’ve been trying to eat their food o but sometimes it’s difficult. My aunt brought food for me so I’m still on Naija diet .

Anyone that arrives Toronto and wants to connect, I’m always happy to.

Thanks for this platform, I really gained a lot from here, we will all rejoice!

Congratulations to everyone who got PPR this week. It’s been a heavy rain of blessings. More to come in the coming days. To those who didn’t get, please don’t relent, repackage and refire, it will definitely end in praise.

Yes it is. Really nice place. My sister went to Humber

CHIKACIC:
I wish
Heard it’s a border city with Detroit, Michigan. I have family there.

I am a Humber Hawk all the way!

Awesome analysis. Are you going to the University of Windsor as well? My fellow 40s geng

CHIKACIC:
I believe your ultimate goal is to become a PR and subsequently a Citizen. So, you have to choose the school that is located in a province that will give you an easy and quick pathway to PR, considering that age is not on your side as per FSWP (Express Entry). My fellow 40 Club member

HR in Windsor (Ontario), so you are looking at OINP (Masters Pathway).
HR in Regina (Saskatchewan), so check out the PNP Pathway. I am not too familiar with that, and
Global Management in Royal Roads (British Columbia), which is the IT/Tech province with its own PNP pathway. Look into that too.

I will recommend Windsor, Ontario. I guess am biased, cos that's my province.

Though you can use this pathway (OINP) with a Master's degree from Regina and Royal Roads, the trick here is that you have to show "Ties to Ontario", the same way you show home ties for study permit. So, having a Masters from Windsor is an automatic tie to the province. Because during your course of studies, you must have been involved in one community, volunteer work or the other and also you would have developed relationships through friends, church activities, etc. All these are ties, connections to the province.

You can on the other hand choose any of the three, since there is the option of CEC pathway (have at least 1 year full time work experience). Work experience gained under study permit, for eg co-op, does not count). The co-op advantage is that it helps you to get a foot inside the door of the Canadian labour market.

Las, las, the decision is yours. Research and make an informed decision. Please, the above are just my humble views.

Hope this helps to eliminate the confusion. Abi the confusion that was confused, has now become more confused

All the best.

Let me be selfish and say come to University of Windsor, Lol.

Reomond:
Greetings to the Elders!

I got admission into University of Windsor Summer 2022 and University of Regina for Winter 2022 for Master, Human Resources Managment. Both are for 2 years and tuition is within the same range.

Also, i just got another admission into Royal Roads University, BC for Master in Global Management 19months with COOP and a bit cheaper than the 2 above.

My confusion is now confused and i am hereby pleading for the elders to please come forward and advice me.

i am 40, self sponsored and my kids will join me later

Thank you!

Amen. Keeping faith for all those still waiting.

gracedson:
God be praised for answering our bulk PPR’s prayer this morning, Now we want to thank God ahead for the bulk PPR’s we are going to get today Tuesday and for this Week (Amen).

The way your tone changed from your first post on this thread is alarming. All these pride?? For what exactly. The fact that you aren’t even seeing your mistakes is funny. May God help us.

Faithyyyyy:
Madam e be like say na you go rest oooh. Check my moniker very very well. some of us have been here since 2019, from US visa thread to Canadian tourist visa thread sharing our wealth of experience in getting approvals, port of entry stories, helping and encouraging others absolutely free when we can so really just dey your dey and be quietly praying for yours to come out peacefully.

peace ✌

For someone who is looking for clients, see how she is sounding. Unfortunately a lot of people will fall for her theatrics. I have learned so much from this platform since I joined all because people are willing to share. I also know how many calls I respond to daily just to give back, the joy it brings to help is second to none.

Lianna2020:
Omg I never see this kind thing before oo.epistle just because?
Imagine saying others wants to be spoon fed because they asked for help, I’m trying to comprehend.
Pride written in plain English but covered with keep the faith and hope alive on this journey of the brave .
God please .

I joined in thread 19 and got approved on the same thread.

Blavkmaann:
New thread!

I can’t believe I started from thread 15

Now we’re here

We suppose dey get set o, I was approved in thread 17

Which thread were you approved?

Thank you. I will do just that.

Faithyyyyy:
I applied alone because my family already had trv and my child has a Canadian passport so I used them as home ties but later travelled with them.
I suggest you apply for your people as soon as you yourself land if they don't have their visas yet

Wow, such an inspiring story. Congratulations on the completion of your degree. I will be leaving in 2 weeks. Did you apply together with your family or immediately after you got yours?

Faithyyyyy:
It's been almost a year here and I am glad to be an alumni. I applied for my study permit last year and got it within a month despite the pandemic and delays. I followed up rigorously, didn't defer my classes and started online classes because I was convinced it would favour me. I eventually travelled with my husband and son when resuming on campus and it was a great experience.

Today I am a proud graduate of University of Ottawa. Yes I finished my program in record time and I am over the moon.

My mission here is to give back more positively and encourage everyone on this journey who has faith and believes this is what they want to go for. It takes patience, research, hardwork and even financial commitment.

Let us keep faith and hope alive on this journey of the brave

So sorry about this. Order your gcms notes and see the main reasons you were refused.

Mojiwealth:
Am sorry guy I have just been refused pls am so devastated right now I need someone to pls put me through ton what next to do thanks

New thread, new wave of testimonies. Wishing everyone still waiting the best. Will be posting my landing gist here.

Congratulations. Wow, indeed God is wonderful.

mamatee2:
Come and join me sing Halleluyah!
Jehovah Jireh has done it for me.
My PPR just dropped. BVL dropped some hours before.
I applied with my daughter. Her Eligibility Review started early this morning.
I also just got a request letter for authorization letter from my spouse for her to travel with me. I will send to them that shortly.

Indeed what God cannot do does not exist!
I am over the moon right now.
Thank you everyone for all that you do on this platform.
Will be back later with my timeline.

#May3 applicant

You will be given a slip when you do your biometric.

Bayor65:
Please how do we get the Yellow biometric slip?

That’s what I am using. You don’t need a transit visa. When are you planning on leaving?

george009:
Please has anybody used British Airways to Canada before? Do you need a transit visa for a layover at London?

Copied.

gracedson:
Can someone please send me the link to the Thread that explains how to send Passport to VFS, Abuja.

I have all my siblings in America/Canada. I included everyone in case of future references. I didn’t have any issues.

Timegi99:
In my situation I have 6 siblings not all in Nigeria. Not all in Nigeria. Is it advisable for me to include all their passports.

Omg I screamed. Been waiting for your update. Thank you Jesus. So so happy.

gracedson:
I swear !!!
PPR just dropped for me !!!

This can only be God’s Grace.

I did not submit a lot of documents, I made lot of mistakes.

God !!!!

I will be back to post my timeline, thank you all.

Oh dear, this is sad. Sorry about your refusal. To refire, you will need to order another gcms notes to understand their final assessment. I watched a former visa officer talk about the Canadian ties, she mentioned if you have jumpers in your family, it might affect your application. By jumpers she meant people who travelled for one purpose and went on to do something else. That even if they are now legalized, it might still affect. If that’s not your case, you can tackle it head on.

Iphiegrace:
Coincidentally @EmeeNaka and I got correspondence this Friday and refusal on Sunday, we both submitted on the 30th of April, with same refusal reasons, obviously same visa officer.

Now tell me why I should not be mad, you put everyone in a box and issue same refusal reason, I feel cheated, robbed and unjustly treated honestly.

This is more painful than I thought, actually woke up again to cry it’s 2:20am.

Any suggestion on how to tackle this will really help...
