Congratulations. It has indeed ended in praise. This Canada journey isn’t easy at all, it tugs at your mental health. But with news like this, it definitely helps to keep the hopes up.

Kobayashi01:
Good morning my people. Long post alert.

Firstly, I’ll like to thank Almighty God for coming through for me. I just got PPR.

Timeline
Did upfront medicals: March 28 (IOM)
Applied: April 7th
Background check started immediately
Biometrics updated: April 12th
Medicals updated to passed: April 13th
Eligibility review started: Around April 28 (I didn’t note this, it was until I discovered this thread I knew it was noteworthy)
Orders GCMS notes: June 11
Emails and web forms to Lagos and Nairobi: June 16
Bvl and PPR: June 23 (7:50am)

First time applicant.
I discovered this thread after I had applied and I immediately noticed some mistakes….. I didn’t submit my BSc transcript and I had lump sums moved to my dom account, although I briefly stated that the funds were transferred by my immediate family members in my LOE (this was verifiable from the statement’s inflow) and I also had almost zero outflow on the account.

I submitted personal MBS, papers statements of my sponsor and IELTS with my application so there was no NSE request.
My brother is a Canadian PR and he is my sponsor. I had tuition for 1 year and flight money in my GTB Dom account and he had my 10k CAD living cost set aside in a savings account of his.

I’m 25 years old and my program starts in August. For home ties, I used a property that was gifted to me by my mum, my parents and my job.

When I saw that people who applied after me were getting PPR requests, I started to lose faith. My mum saw I was down, prayed with me and I felt enlightened again. I want to encourage you all to keep the hope high. God will do it.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Stephblues(f): 7:54am On Jun 22, 2021
You see ehn, you are nothing short of amazing and you deserve everything good happening right now. Your testimony gave me goosebumps. Congratulations. Wishing you success in your endeavors.

P.S: How person wey dey speak this kind English go write IELTS? Nor be him go even set the exam?

Uzomachukwuu:
Long Post Alert:

Talk about being happy, today is one of the happiest days of my past one year.

Ideologically opposed to taking IELTS, I had preemptively written and armed myself with an IELTS Waiver Request Letter, in which I argued against the logicality of asking an English PhD student to submit IELTS test scores. Silly me though, that letter sounded as if I was beefing with IRCC — and, yes, I was really mad at them due to my initial visa refusal.

And to all the persons here doing the fine work of elucidating the many riddles of IRCC, and helping others through their application, I say: May what you desire locate you. Thanks to you all.

You can do it from your mobile phone app.

Can I do it on the GTB app on my phone or do I need to get that on the 'mybankstatement' website as I watched in the video?
Thank you
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Stephblues(f): 7:50pm On Jun 19, 2021
You can upload it via a web form or if it was requested of you, there will be a slot made available for you to upload it just like you did your other documents.

Lastly I would like to thank myself. For the perseverance, for painstakingly reading through previous threads just to get a good idea of the whole process, for convincing myself that my age (37) is not a factor, for writing a stellar SOP (though it took weeks, lol) and for “noogling” (using the searchbox in Nairaland) when I was totally lost. embarassed huh
