Benquip:

I did my medical last year November 5 and it's going to expire November also

Send a web form asking them to update your medical since it has not expired. They will update it for you.

However, whether they update it or not will not affect the decision

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.

Big congratulations. So happy for you

Elixosodi:
I am really concerned oo, someone should please give me a word of encouragement since May 24th may eligibility review has not started.

Since you have received correspondence letter it means your application has been finalized, eligibility review concluded though it is not reflecting on your portal

[quote author=Abbyfred post=105012853][/quote]

If you send a web form for them to update it, they will update it for you to passed. They don't usually update it in reapplication because it has been passed in your previous application

Elfavour:

I was thinking it was because it's my second application, hence, why they didn't bother notifying me my medicals have been passed since it's the same medical exam. I was notified in a couple of days for my previous application.

They don't usually update medical to pass in reapplication until you send web form to them most time or you do another one when it expires

Benquip:

I am also facing the same issues my second application isn't saying anything like medical passed and biometrics updated. I applied since May 6th

When did you do your medical? is your medical close to expire?

Achi911:


Yes. Is this normal?

Yes it's normal. The mail is actually in respect of the final decision but it came late after you have received the refusal letter. Same thing happened to me. I thought they had a change of heart only to see no update.

elenewton1:
Application declined 18th August 2021.
Timeline:
Application submitted April 26th 2021 (PhD with full funding). Also submitted my personal bank statement (not MBS).
NSE request May 7. Ignored it and went with normal route.
Upfront medical passed june 25th.
Eligibility review always read "in progress..."

Reason for refusal: We are not convinced you will be able to pay the tuition fee. Also, you do not have sufficient finance for your accompanying family member to Canada.

P.S: My full funding covered both tuition and monthly expenses. I also submitted my account statement indicating that I can pay for my miscellaneous expenses. I did not include that anyone is accompanying me. Infact in my IMM form, I specifically selected "no" to this question.
Obviously, they did not do a thorough review.
I'm awaiting my notes.

Wishing you all the best as you await their response.

Please reapply immediately with a strong rebuttal letter for the errors made in the assessment and submit both IELTS and MBS to speed up your application.

Cherukei2015:
Thank you so much but I forgot to mention that my visa is already approved because I did upfront medical.
By the time my visa arrived my medical just had less than two months to expire and I wasn't ready to travel to Canada at the time.

Now that I am ready to travel, I have sent a renewed medical form but it has not still been updated.
I feel like I need to sort this out before travelling.

PLEASE I NEED EMAIL ADDRESS TO IRCC IN CANADA.
Thanks

What is showing on your IRCC portal for medical, is it showing review of medical or document is invalid?

shams040:
My PPR has been approved but I am already in d US and don't want Canada again. Please how can I cancel the visa application?

Why do you want to leave Canada for USA.

If you are married, know your spouse will not be eligible to work in US.

After your OPT in USA H-1B work visa is lottery and not certain even with a job offer in US unless you are in the academic, while if you have a Canadian citizenship you easily get TN work visa which is available only to Canadian and Mexican citizens.

Go to Canada you can always come back to US after obtaining your Canadian citizenship if you still prefer US.

shams040:
My PPR has been approved but I am already in d US and don't want Canada again. Please how can I cancel the visa application?

Send a webform notifying IRCC of your situation and that you will not be requiring the study permit at this time. If you do not send the passport after the deadline for submission without notifying them, they will likely revoke the approval and that might leave a negative impression.

KellyKk:

Either normal route or Nse both don’t really matter since May! E be like say Na random dem Dey go Now because I get person wey apply for July without nse wey don get ppr

Are you sure about the bolded?

MY LANDING GIST!!!!

KLM Flight at MMIA, Ikeja. Lagos to Amsterdam (almost 6hrs layover at Amsterdam Airport), Amsterdam to Toronto.

Got to the Airport 4pm, August 11th

Very interesting landing gist. You have been so wonderful on this thread and favour is already following you. Wish you great success in Canada.

19CannyMum:


CIA . Application was for a family member in Nigeria. I used 'I' to keep things simple.

Ok I understand now

19CannyMum:


This thread was my only source of info. Eligibility and background check started within 2 days after applying. NSE requirements provided at submission with good ielts (highest band) and 1 year MBS. Self sponsored. Upfront medicals. Sibling in Canada (PR). Travel history to Europe and US.

Congratulations. But I am somehow confused. Is this application for a family member? Because I observed you are already in Canada? Wish you favor in Cannyland

19CannyMum:
What is hard for God to do out doesn't exist o, it can never ever exist o.

Full post later. First time applicant.

Congratulations

shams040:


I read that I can stamp here in US but will be emailing all the visa offices

Yes you can get your passport stamped in US. Write the Visa office to notify them of your situation

Stephblues:
Really what they say about when it’s your time, nothing can stop it is really true. My story is a testimonial to that fact.

This journey started in 2017. I got back from the US and applied to a school in Texas, got admitted and I went on to apply for visa. I went with confidence thinking, what’s the worse that can happen? I was refused. I applied again and was refused twice again. I lost all hopes of traveling. I decided to look at Canada, unfortunately all the schools started rejecting me. I couldn’t get even one school not to talk of visa. So this year, I decided to change my plans and went for the UK, I immediately got admitted into 3 schools and with scholarships. My hope was restored. But my brother was still bent on me applying to Canada so I decided to give it another try. I applied to Trent and University of Windsor, Trent refused but I got Windsor. So I rushed to apply for visa to beat the May 15th deadline. To cut the story short, God came through for me. Below is my timeline.

First time applicant.
Age: 41
School: University of Windsor
Course: MSc Actuarial science
Submitted: May 12
Biometric request: May 13
Biometric done: May 14
Nse request: May 25th
Upfront Medical: updated to pass June 16th

Nothing else, no ghost update, nothing. I ordered my Gcms notes June 29th, I got it July 30th. I saw recommend interview. The wait continued until today.

I had given up hope that i even started my UK processing. I paid deposit in the Uk because at this point, I was tired, mind and body.

BVL and PPR: August 11 ( This day will forever be in my mind).

I want to thank everyone who has supported me in this journey, you all are angels in disguise. May all the PPR hopefuls get their joy soonest.

It has ended in praise.

Big congratulations. so happy for you

Jarkanye:
Good morning everyone

PPR and BVL 7th August.

This is to give someone hope.

0ctober 20th applicant
3rd application or should I say 4th?�
Let me make my story short�cos if I write them all Mmhm e long.
NSE route thou I didn't use my bank statement
I was refused in January reason:Finance, that my money won't be available maybe because I used mutual fund account.
My sponsors account was well funded ,At this point their reason didn't make sense at all to me.

I decided to appeal using an agent in March cos this is my 3rd refusal .
We waited to see if they will respond, we didn't hear from them thou agent said most times they ignore the appeal .

April I re applied 4th application using same agent
Waiting started again �I told agent let's book upfront medical he refused and said we should wait .

June 18th I couldn't take it anymore and told agent with or without his consent am booking upfront medical because of what I read here �reluctantly he agreed and I got space in Qlife for July 12th

June 22 they reopened my October refused application meaning the appeal was successful

Same June 22 medical request dropped

Medical done July 12th
30th was about to elapse I called Qlife on 20th they said they are still working on my own I should send the medical sheet given to me to IRCC.I did that immediately I guess my call made them to act cos I told them I have 2 days left for my 30 days to elapse. I think they forwarded it that same day 20th IRCC too.

July 21 medical passed.

PPR and BVL August 7th.
Agent finally withdrew the 4th application same 7th August.

For those denied ,have faith ,reapply ,if you think you did everything right appeal it.

Thanks to all the guru's here ,you are all doing a great work.

Congrats to all that got PPR.

Congratulations

Abeg who get correct binoculars ,mo I take am view where dem enemies dey before I fire them correct fire

Refusal came in today and the only reason was personal asset and financial status,can you imagine despite submitting
1.Work related documents
2. Salary account
3. Pension Statement
4. Land/Car documents
5. Insurance policies
Den still no gre bow,but las las den go bow, e be like say den never know me.

Congratulations to the those who scaled through,to the hopeful,never stop believing and to those in my class,pls don't give up,your time will surely come by God's grace.

Who dey breeeeeeeeeeeet.

sorry for the refusal, get your note and refire. it shall turn to a testimony

RollyA:
Personal Assets & Financial Status

My first preassessment notes were vague, in fact i still don't understand it till today as attached.

I did a lot of things differently despite that in this second application:

I paid 28k out of 33k of my tuition through my mum, she gave me 7m which i immediately used to pay 20k cad (in my first application i paid only 7k)
I showed 10.3m in bank account (MBS) (my sponsor gave me 6m since last year Nov and still standing in my account, balance of 4m was my savings) (funds were still intact)
i had mutual funds of 1.4m (since first application)
I had 2.4m in pension ( got a letter from PFA 25% is immediately accessible) also since my first application
i attached gift deeds for both my uncle and the new funds my mum gave me
My uncle showed over 18m in his bank plus introduction letter showing his net worth
My mum attached a retirement letter and stated that she had funds from her 32 years of working, she also had a balance of 4m left to show she will be fine
I included study leave and evidence I got a promotion last year and commendation for stepping in an acting position as MD.
My husbands business docs, showed also 2.3m in his account, he had 2m as fixed deposit (same with first application)
I attached his land docs and added the survey in the second application
i bought shares almost 500K to establish assets (new)

I have ordered for my first and second notes, maybe I should have ordered final notes from my first application because i used preassessment notes while my application was still in progress to apply.

I am numb, I am sad, I feel like all my efforts were in vain.

I had ordered my notes last month to see what was happening and they are only due tomorrow, i guess they dished out the refusal today so i wouldnt have time to ammend.

Sorry about your refusal. Your application is solid and it seems there was a mix up somewhere because the VO referred to you as a married Nigerian man instead of woman. I think you should appeal the decision instead of reapplying.

Cuddles7:


Please what's a counterfoil? My spouse has gotten his passport back with LOI. I'm not sure he got anything called a counterfoil. Help!

Congratulations to your spouse. Did your spouse reapply or went through judicial review. If he reapplied did he change his course of study to healthcare administration or the same business management. Wish your husband all the best in Canada

dotoracs:


I don't understand your Maths/English, "inverse". Are you not familiar with decimals or how can something be so obvious, yet confusing to you? The rate there for Naira is 301.48!

He is actually right you have to inverse the rate. one naira is 0.00301 cad but one cad is 332.3 naira and not 301 naira. That is 1/0.00301 = 332.3

awys:
PPR just dropped am shaking right now will give details later this can only be God I didn't submit a perfect Application I had fears about it but God did it!!!

Big congratulations to you

Cuddles7:
Thankyou so much. Can you elucidate further?

He actually worked for a few years in the same hospital lab (microbiology section, he pointed that out in his resume). Before he was made the administrative manager after about 3yrs.

Now his father (the Medical director) is due for retirement and needs him to become the hospital administrator/director of operations. And he felt the need to get some professional training in business as this now has a much larger scope and it's a requirement to completely qualify for the position (he put in his new job offer letter to prove that, as well as a study leave approval)

Please kindly suggest how he can improve his career path to fit in with the business management. He's really not interested in furthering along that microbiology route.

I really appreciate this.

Godbless

Why does he not consider master or graduate certificate in health care administration, that might align more with his qualification and work experience

Cuddles7:

Thankyou. Will apply by next week for the GCMS notes.

Look at the one below for first refusal (abii delay, Lol)

Is it the same program that he applied for again in this second application?

Rootiab:
from my own understanding they didn't check his school fees receipts. They only check the bank statements and his personal assets

It is not insufficient fund, but financial status and personal assets. Even if you pay all your fees and show above enough funds for upkeep, they can still deny you for personal assets and financial status. That is why you see full funded applicants sometimes denied.

Cuddles7:
Thanks. Sorry about yours too.

How much do they want us to show now? Shebi they asked for 30,000 CAD, his account showed a little more than that.

The company is worth over a 100 million even though we didn't put the property value.

He paid his full fees too so not included in the 30,000 CAD in his account.


Are you planning to reapply?

Yes I hope to reappy but I want to get my gcms notes first to see what informed the visa officer decision

Cuddles7:
My spouse got a 2nd refusal today for exact same reasons.. personal assets and financial status. Meanwhile we had about 9.5 million in his account and we submitted 12 months banking history via mybankstatement. Plus showed he is a member of a board of a company that has been running for over 35yrs. (Family business)

Seems judicial review is the only way out now. Cos there's nothing more to add.

First refusal was based on purpose of visit in September. Reapplied November now this....it's heartbreaking.

Sorry about your spouse refusal. May be this financial status also has to do with the age of the applicant. May be they expect more personal assets from very matured students with family. My company has been running for over 15 years and I am the majority share holder yet I was refused for personal assets and financial status

olasubomy:


So sorry about this sir, these guys are funny, very funny refusing you on financial assest despite what you submitted. It is well. I will chat you up.

Thank you very much my brother

olasubomy:
Good evening Frankrobbn1, Chocs, Lekiboboe and other gurus in the house.

Please i have a question and need your thought and experience on how to approach this.

I have a friend who has gotten original passport request from IRCC on the 14 Janaury, 2021 so the 30 days grace given to submit the passport would elaspse February 13, 2021.

My concern is she has deferred her admission from Janauary 2021 to mid year before the approval came on her application.

Now my question is should she raise a webform to notify IRCC of this change before submitting her passport for stamping? or should she submit her passport first , have it stamped and notify IRCC afterwards? Having in mind that the 30 days grace to get her passport to IRCC is just about 14days from now.

What do you guys think is the best approach to handle this?

There are people who deferred their admission to summer and fall before getting approval and submitted their passport to IRCC without notifying them of the deferment. Let her go ahead and submit her passport for stamping
