Please does this mean background check has started or this is how it shows for everyone?

Was it an automatic response or a personalised one?

Hello, I messaged Lagos via Webform on May 26 for my medicals and they responded by 10am May 27th.

I messaged Lagos first cause I understand that they are responding for processing new applications now.

Please how long does it take to get a response if you send documents via web forms and emails? I sent mine yesterday and no response or acknowledgement.
Also, how do you know which Visa office is handling your file? I sent to Nairobi, Lagos and London. Only London has replied that they are not the ones in charge of my case and I should send a web form which I have done. I sent some documents to be added to my application as I noticed that the ones I submitted were blurry, especially my bank statement. Would they honor this or respond?

Hello everyone, please can someone use a current account to pay for tuition via form A?

Hi everyone, please for form A, do the banks use their own rate or they use CBN's rate?

Thank you for this. Please which certificate in particular

SweetJJ:
Photocopy of your international passport
Admission letter showing your tuition fee
Your Globalpay WU mail showing those data
Your certificate/s

Please when going to the bank to pay with Form A, what documents do I need to take with me

Hello everyone, please which bank is the cheapest if I want to pay tuition via Form A

Congratulations!!!

Lianna2020:

Jesus ooo

Hi, please I sent you an email request.

SweetJJ:
If you mean tuition. Yes, I have, however I am yet to get my official receipt. They accept payment through GlobalPay Western Union. Go to UA website and follow the prompt on International payment, they will generate a data for you and then you pay through FORM A in the bank.


Concerning their refund policy, I sent a mail and ask about their refund policy and they say they refund. You can as well send them a mail on that, I believe they will reply you.

Hi, are you graduate or undergraduate?
Also, did you pay for a term or for a year?
And did you pay only instructional fees or you paid non-instructiinal as well?

Please has anyone for University of Alberta paid their Tim fees for Fall 2021? Also, what is their refund policy?

My condolences, so sorry for your loss

Hello guys,

I JUST LOST MY DAD TODAY.

The pain is soooo unbearable.....

A new part, o lord let there be a rain of PPRs with this thread, amen!

Hi, I jistbchecked my GCKey and it has been uploaded and passed. I did not know because I didn't get any email notification.

ritzzybaron:
Hi Tennie. Did you call Qlife? They told me they send results to IRCC within 10days, that’s 2weeks.

Thank you so much for your response

JustMellow:
Hello TennieYF,

Please, jump into the pool so as to stamp your entering date close to the tie-breaking rule.

When packaging your SP application, package or treat it as a separate application. Work at meeting the eligibility requirement of SP and show justifiable home ties whether or not the PR application has been submitted.

Best of Luck

Please is this IOM or Q-life? Because Q-life hasn't sent my result it's been almost 2 weeks now. Should I call them?

Gracehayford1:
After sending the medical letter through webform. Should I still send the medical result through webform?

Gracehayford1:
Qlife or iom which is better to use?

I think they're both effective but QLife is cheaper.

Hi guys, please can someone help advise on this issue. I may be eligible for EE FSW application as I currently have about 481 points. I already submitted my Study Permit Application and although I know dual intent is not a crime I have some concerns.

I am contemplating entering the pool now since I stated in my SOP that I intend to come back after my study permit. And would not want it to reduce my chances of getting a study permit as the VO handling my case may use it against me that he is not satisfied I would leave Canada after my studies.

In this scenario, what do you guys advise I do. Should I enter the pool now, in case a round of ITA comes up for FSW, or should I wait and get my study permit first before entering the pool.
Would really appreciate a response on this.

Hello everyone, which is cheaper for paying tuition fees, Form A or using a Dom account. Would appreciate a response. Thank you!

The sad part is my own school doesn't have a deferral option. It is well

SweetJJ:
Yeeeeeeeh, same here ooo. I did upfront medical and submitted my application before the May 15th.i didn't know it includes the biometrics .
Booked my biometrics for May 28th. I guess I will just remove my mind there and expect a decision whenever it comes.

�‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️, I just saw this one. I tried to submit and do medicals before 15th but couldn't meet up for Biometrics, didn't know it was also a requirement ���

childgodly:
Oh gosh i just realized that this May 6th thing only applies to people who did their biometrics before the 15th!! The available dates filled up so quickly. This isn't even a question but now I'm just very worried.
Concerning the medical thing, mine showed up as passed today and I did it about 2 weeks before my application was submitted so I would say just give it time. I didn't even get a call from the center or anything.

Congratulations!!!

qb41:
Applied December 9 , normal route , PPR has finally dropped !!!

Thank you for your response.
How do I rectify it during biometrics?

Frankrobbn1:
You should have used the full name as written on your international passport to electronically transmit the documents to IRCC instead of the name on your birth certificate. At this juncture, you've submitted your application and nothing can be done. The error can be rectified when you got for your biometrics.



It will end in praise

NSE in Novermber and it still took 6 months! Chai!
Congratulations!!!

Jachi15:
Hello Guys,
God is faithful!

Submitted on the 8th of October
Biometrics 12th of October
NSE 23rd of November
Review started 4th December
Medicals done on the 7th of January and updated on the 14th of January.

From here I got help on how to send emails to Nairobi office and I did that all through the updating process and I always got a reply.
PPR finally landed 14th May at 1.11am.

Serving God pays!
What God Cannot do does not have exist.
I wish you all still waiting get your PPR’s soonest��

Hi Mr.Frank, please I electronicallh signed my application with my full name Oluwateniola because that is what is in all my documents including my birth certificate.
However, my international passport has Teniola not Oluwateniola, would this be an issue?

Frankrobbn1:
You don't necessarily need to print nor sign any of the immigration forms for a Canadian visa application. Upon successful uploading of documents into their respective columns, you will be prompted to use your full name as written on your international passport to electronically sign and transmit your application to IRCC.



It will end in praise

Adding my 1 cent to your write up



"Hello,
I hope this reaches you well. With careful writing, wish to thank the humble Nation Canada for giving us some privilege to become prospective and full students of Canada schools as this is really bringing a synergy between the two countries(Nigeria and Canada), while also putting both countries on path of growth, thanks to transfer knowledge & technical know-how.

In recent years, the economy of Canada has grown exponentially and thus competing with other great nations of the world on all positive index and ticking the right Indices (among which affordable and top notch educational system is)

That been said, we have now noticed quite delays we applicants are facing to acquire a study permit into Canada. Comparing our processing and decision time with other countries, it is really disheartening that Canada study applications from Nigeria takes minimum of 3 months and on average 6months, while in some instances we've seen applicants get decision between 8 to 14 months.

Just recently, a scheme NIGERIAN STUDENT EXPRESS (NSE) was introduced, this was to mirror the SDS program and act as catalyst in expediating the application process for those you meet up with the requirement, few who got selected for special route NSE hardly get a decision within 3months of their application, as against the stipulated 20 to 30days processing time expressed by IRCC.

The rate at which students defer admission is alarming, this is a recent norm among Nigeria applicants which our different institutions of higher learning attest to and even willfully propose deferment just to cushion the effect due to the delay in decision making from the immigration desk. There is no gain saying most students have set out plans on commencement and time expected/wish to return home after study to impact lives, develop the growing society and help fight economic fall. But the long process have made a lot to alter or extend visions and goals. It is worthy of note that time lost can never be recuperated.
Recently, we seen our colleagues from other countries getting replies and favourable decision in 20 days or even less than that. More worrisome is the ability of IRCC to give 3 different verdict to a single applicant in 3 months whilst their contemporary from other countries do not get a single verdict in 6 months or more. The degree of disparity is shocking and unexplainable

We believe international students are an integral part of the economic & population growth of Canada, so we appeal to the immigration authorities to revisit and reconsider our processing time, to enable our future aspiration see the light if the day in a timely manner.

Thanks and God bless you"

This is just a build up on what you typed. We can still await further input before we get a final draft.


Good day,
I hope this meets you well.
With careful writing, we wish to thank the humble Nation of Canada for giving us the privilege and opportunity to gain knowledge in Canada through quality education. This has helped to build a synergy between both countries(Nigeria and Canada). The economy of Canada has become a fast growing one, competing with other great nations of the world.

However, recently we have noticed prolonged delays in study permits applications for prospective Nigerian students.
We understand that the COVID-19 has had an impact in processing times but in comparison with our counterparts from other countries, applications from Nigeria have been extraordinarily slow and prolonged.
Some applications are as old as 8 months and a lot of pending applications are within 3-6 months.
Recently, the NIGERIAN student Express scheme (NSE) was established to help speed up processing times to 20 days for students who could meet certain criteria.
This however is not this case because even after going through NSE the applications still take an average of 2-3 months before decisions are made.

The rate at which students now defer admissions is rampant and this is due to the delay in getting application decisions.
This deferment has put in dent in their plans as they already have commitments based on the time they expect to return home after study to impact lives, and to develop the growing society and help fight economic fall.
The long processing has made a lot to extend visions and goals.

Recently, we see other applications from other countries getting replies in 20days or even less than that.
We believe international students are part of the growth of Canada so we wish the authorities reconsider our processing time and help speed up the application processes.
Thank you and God bless.

See below my own write up. We could get many others to make a comprehensive one. Den we can decide when and how to publish it on Twitter.
