PPR ALERT

MY TOBECHUKWU MOMENT IS HERE!
After 2 refusals, I finally got my visa
The story is long but let me summarise. I applied with my family on the 14th of May, 2023 and a refusal came in on the 1st of June. I was sad and confused so I reached out to some gurus here and they assisted me. May God bless their hearts.
I waited for my CBSA note and they just mentioned that my financials and asset were not enough, so I paid my full tuition and added to my POF but the exchange rate showed us shege. I submitted the second application on the 9th of July and after 4 days, breakfast was served again. This time, I cried and was discouraged. I didn’t know what could be wrong because I added a lot of documents and my SOP was tight. I lost hope and told my hubby that I was done with Canada
He sha encouraged me to apply alone the next day. Reluctantly, I submitted the application on the 14th of July and on the 9th of August, I got the golden message. It feels so surreal.
Special shout out to bobomaigida, zubizareta and dessymond394. These guys took their time to review my sop and offer useful pieces of advice on my application free of charge. May God continue to meet you at the points of your needs.
Application submitted : 14th July
Medical passed : 3rd August

Update on passport submission @UPS.
UPS has moved from their office beside VFS to a new building, it’s on the same street but 5mins walk from the former office.

Ayobamiaz:
Hurray!!!!!!
It has finally landed and what’s that? my PPR!!!!!!
After 2 refusals I made sure I packaged my docs well this time around and it wouldn’t have been possible without @zubizareta God bless you man for a well detailed SOP you’re simply the best May the Good lord keep gracing your work and your household …

Application submitted : 25th July
Medical passes : 11th August
PPR : 11th August
What God cannot do does not really exist !!!!!!

Ayobamiaz:
Is it just me I submitted my application on the 25th of July and nothing has changed at all…I’m a September entry what can or should I do ?

Teefab:
You change your naira to rand from the guys that does exchange here.....Check Randburg Square or change your dollars to rand at the airport which is a bit high....current rate for naira to rand is 42.5/ 43

IntrovertGuy:
Hello!

To those who have been to South Africa or are currently there, How did you go about changing to Rand?

What's the current rate of Rand/Naira or Rand/Dollar?

Thank you.

Kenya is not visa on arrival. I returned from Nairobi not long. I was also in Kigali , Rwanda. I flew in from Jomo Kenyatta. Only Rwanda is visa on arrival but you have to do covid test 55 dollars on arrival.

Here is the story, I had two declines when I applied for visit visas November 2021 and Feb 2022. Then I decided to go through study. The timeline is:

27th April 2022 upfront medical Abuja ( I had additional medical request on July when my sputum test can out successfully)

3rd Nov,2021 Biometric at Abuja

3rd or 4th May, 2022 submitted First study permit.
Long wait no medical update .

4th August 2022, I received a declined letter.

Reason : Insufficient fund

I quickly rearrange my sop and transferred all my fund at stannic mutual to GTB and I paid my fully school fees tuition.

9th August 2022, sent in new application
Another long wait. So I had to defered my study to September 2023.

23rd December ,2022 , medical update to passed

15th January 2023 , final decision PPR.

This is just brief , I really had sleepless night during that medical because I was told my x-ray results has problem( according to them my lungs are not clear)
But to God be the glory everything went fine.

Teefab:
Hello everyone.......Is anyone here going for Masters in either University of Manitoba or Saskatchewan University, or already started?Kindly reply to my message.Kind Regards

KazikageSama:


Please don't open yourself up to exploitation. Sincerely, nobody can do that. Your best bet is to probably get someone based inSA to help you place regular calls to Home Affairs but even at that, nothing is guaranteed.

Teefab:
URGENT PLEASE!!!!!

I'm urgently in need of someone to help me FastTrack my daughter's passport here in southAfrica. I will appreciate any help please its urgent

Bobomaigida:


Hi Teefab, first thing is to determine is the course you want to study, then how much do have for tuition, this helps you narrow down your search, then what present educational qualification do you have? if you have 2:1 then search for masters, if you have lower grade then search for colleges, once you see a course you like then you have to check the school admission requirements. Most schools have their admission portal where you can apply however there is also a general consolidated admission portal like Ontario colleges portal which you can use to apply to colleges in Ontario, there is also Applyboard.

Calmdancer21:


With the information you provided pls take IELTS, it will increase your chances greatly.
For the schools, do your normal research based on your field of studies and then start emailing the schools directly stating your case. They will reply you directly.
PHd is only for scholarships, if your purpose for studying is immigration go for course based masters, as someone studying M.eng this is my opinion.
good luck and congratulations

Hello, Please when you reapplied, in the column where they asked if you've been denied entry into the Republic before, what was your response?

damdee:
did you reapply by submitting all your documents all over again or you just appeal by submitting your hotel reservation only and appeal letter?
my wife was denied and this would be her second time

Please advise

Yes, i reapplied by submitting all my docs all over again (But more recent and freshly printed up to date docs)and i used the premium (thats about 12k+ extra)
I wouldn't advise anyone to APPEAL because i certain it will take months before its comes out.

Moreso, what was the reason for the refusal?
And as she been to SA before?
