Hi Guys my friend applied for his study visa this year March with upfront medicals, he got a request letter from IRCC to send an updated Letter of Acceptance from his school, he sent it early this morning around 2 am for September intake, he got a correspondence letter from IRCC around 9am for the validity of his biometrics (BVL). Please is everything ok? He's really scared
Congrats to your friend in advance. It is most likely ppr

LONG POST ALERT ABOUT MY PPR:

Here is my timeline
On 30 April-Application submitted (Non-NSE)
On 4 May-Biometrics completed
On 7 May-NSE request (MyBankStatement and IELTS)
On 19 May-Upfront medical updated to pass
On 19 May-I noticed ghost update
On 28 May- I Responded to NSE request with letter of explanation sent through my GCKEY not webform. I attached my masters transcript and highlighted where it was written that English is the means of communication and instruction. I tried to convince them in the letter that I am proficient in English and all my education prom primary to masters has been in English. However, I attached proof of registration for IELTS to be written on 18 August. I registered for the IELTS not for study visa but because I intend to apply for PR through EE shortly after I land Canada (the Goal is to become a Citizen before completing PhD). I did not submit submit MBS but attached my funding letter and told them that my studies will be sponsored by the University.

On 23 June, I got scared that my visa may be rejected due to financial reasons and sent MBS through webform. I did not send it earlier because my account balance was less than 400k. I had my Dad do me a gift deed of 2 million on 22 June before I sent the MBS. I also attached my upadated pension statement of account.
On 4 July, I sent my Covid Vaccination completion Certificate (online copy with QR code) through webform.
On 6 July, I sent a webform and appealed for a decision to enable me to arrive early for Fall semester. I attached my confirmation of enrollment letter.

On 14 July I sent another appeal for a decision on my application.
On 23 July, another ghost update and eligibility review started

Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories ! grin
I screamed and jump for joy. I pray I will do so soon for my PPR

I just got my refusal letter
Sorry about this. It’s good to get your gcms note and know what the VO want. It may be insufficient funds. I just got my past refusal note and d VO was concerned that the funds demonstrated (35k Cad) was not sufficient to pay for my studies and also for my families in Nigeria. This is shocking considering my spouse is working and still making enough to cater for the family. I also paid 8k+ from my first semester tuition.
Repackage ur application, get co sponsor if possible and let them pay your LE into ur acct as commitment. May God help us all to get our PPR

Good day All,

All thanks to God for the multiple issuance of PPRs in this month of July, it has really felt so good seeing rains of PPR in our midst, and I pray those still waiting will also get their PPRs in Jesus name... Amen

Please this is for those that were refused, cos in as much as there have been rains of PPRs it doesn't mean there have not been refusals. If you know you have been refused, also share your timeline and the reasons for your refusal.. There is nothing to be ashamed of, afterall this is a faceless platform and none of us is using our real names here.

Being delayed doesnt mean you wont still get your Visa, we all know of some applicants here that got their visas after the 3rd attempt and even the 4th attempt..

In Fact, I remember a moniker on this thread in 2018 that got his Visa after his 7th attempt, it was a do or die affair for the guy and as I am typing this now, I am sure he would have gotten his Permanent Residence...

So please if you know you have been refused, kindly put down your timeline here and your refusal reasons. myself or any of the Gurus can guide you in getting your Visa..

Remember it is not over until you win, so Never say Never...

PEACE
This is correct, refusal does not indicate one is less qualified, May God help us all.

Yes you can, but you're limited to a maximum of $15,000 usd quarterly.

You'll need to tender
1. Letter of Admission.
2. Educational certificate.
3. International passport.
4. Authorization letter from the intermidiary (in most cases)
5. Can't remember again o.
Just realize my school said they do not want electronic transfer. I am so confused.

I need help guys..
I got a refusal, few days ago, it says I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada based on your asset and financial status.
But sinc then I have been receiving emails that says there are changes in your application status and when I log in there's no update.
Yesterday my medicals was reupdated again.
This morning I logged and saw that my background check was updated again.
I don't know if this a normal thing for refused applicants, I'm planning on reapplying but I'm just confused with the updates and email even tho I have been refused
Hmnnn, who knows? Maybe they want to change refused to approved. What God cannot do does not exist.
Meanwhile, order your gcms note to progress with your reapplication plans, and if it is changed to “ approved “ you have nothing to loose.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Testimonytime:
@ Shawn55ng,
So sorry about your refusal. Iv been there before and pray not to experience it again.

Just relax, delay is not denial. You can only fail when you give up. Please order your note, see what they want and re- fire, have faith in God and you will get there.
You can contact Annon123 for your gcms notes.
