I’m dumbfounded. If this isn’t God then I don’t know who. No man can boost to be the doer. No fees paid, money in the account doesn’t even cover fees and the mandatory 10k cad. God showed up for me and I don’t take it for granted. About a week before submitting my application, a lump sum of 5million was deposited into my father’s account because before then the account was in almost zero balance. My father took out over 500k and I submitted the rest. The statement was printed 19th April and I submitted May 7th. After submission that was when I remembered I didn’t explain where the money came from in my SOP. God showed me mercy. While filling one of the IMM forms, the one that requires applicants to fill tuition, living expenses and others, I was really confused. After inputting my first year tuition fee and the mandatory 10k cad I didn’t even know what figure to put for others. This is because if I sum up all the figures, it will exceed my 4.4m POF. I sha added 2k cad for others or so. My bank statement wasn’t added. I graduated in 2015 didn’t add any work related stuff because I’ve been in between jobs and most didn’t align with my career asides from NYSC. The only thing I said in my SOP to cover my study gap and lack of personal funds was .. “I’m helping my father with my HR educational knowledge to grow his business”. So, the message was I’m working with my father. I Didn’t submit employment letter on this neither did I submit pay stubs. I wasn’t getting any serious pay because the firm is still growing. More like a family business.
Age - 30years
School - MUN

During the long wait I sent countless webforms and emails at some point I got scared because I guessed I was going overboard. I contacted different MPs none came through. However, my God showed up in his time.

After my BVL dropped on the 15th another wait began. I was confident God was perfecting it. So today I decided to send my new letter of acceptance. I had it for about a week now but didn’t want to send it till after approval. Same today my PPR dropped

If God can make this happen for me despite all my flaws then he can come through for anyone. If it’s about qualification, then I’m not close to qualified. Keep believing in him. In this journey radical faith is required. Absolute dependency on God. Everyone will testify soon. God doesn’t do abandoned projects.

Thanks to everyone helping on this thread. Every info I know was obtained here.MI did my application myself from start to finish, all
from the infos I got here. May God’s reward be evident in your lives. For those delayed God needs you to trust him again. Those waiting your time is NOW. Amen

More testimonies loading. Amen In Jesus mighty name.
Congratulations to you. Lord please show me mercy as this

Hi all!
My sister got PPR on friday!
I handled all her application process as I did mine also (2020) Her timeline is attached below. It was quite a frustrating process because her classes started second week of September and they required her to be around. They almost canceled her seat as she wasn’t able to do registration without study permit. I contacted the MP and they said security and background check has been passed but eligibility is yet to start. We decided to risk it by paying 3k Cad part of tuition. So we started sending mails and pleading with the school for more time because there’s no option for deferral and the $500 confirmation fee will be forfeited. She was eventually allowed to register and did the online portion of her classes. I was so stressed even mine wasn’t this stressful because I got medical request 6days after I submitted my application, even before biometrics.
Documents submitted are:
*SOP
*Birth certificate of her family
*Marriage certificate
*Sponsor's statement of account (8m)
*Sponsor's letter
*Sponsor's supporting documents (house and business documents)
*Her Business registration
*Family photos
*her statement of account (less than 100k)
*School admission letter
*School confirmation letter
*Passport page
Passport photo
*Ig business page
*University transcript (2006)
*O’level result
*business Certifications
*Police character
-IELTS result (non NSE but she had a valid result)
- declaration of age (she’ll be 40 next month)
She’s going for a diploma program
She did upfront medicals and her biometrics 2weeks after application submission.
*Home ties was established using her 3kids, husband and business.

It can only be God and I pray everyone waiting gets a positive decision. It really is not easy and not for the faint hearted. Can’t wait to reunite with her!
Her case is similar to mine, I pray for favour this week

What a Mighty God I serve.

I believe most people have been seeing my post about my medical report situation.
I submitted my application on March 30 and did my biometric on April 6.
I did my upfront medical on May 28th and it was updated as passed on June 2. Surprisingly it was removed on September 1 and I was sent a medical request letter.
I was confused and disturbed and even lost appetite. I raised webform with the submission of the upfront medical sheet I was given as advised here. No update from IRCC.

Alas ! Yeshua did it.
I got PPR this morning at 8:58am.
Timeline
Application date March 30, 2021.
Medical Upfront May 28
Medical request September 1.
BVL & PPR September 17.

I pray that for everyone who is expecting PPR, God shall make it happen. Keep praying and thanking God in anticipation and He will do it. It's testimony galore.
I love you all.
Congratulations Amen

Alhamdullilah it has ended in praise for me.
This journey has been on for me since 2019 after leaving highschool but I thank God that it has finally ended.
My original destination was the US but my mom didn't want it because of gun violence and we had no family in the US so we settled for Canada. I applied for admission to University of Manitoba since that's where my sister was and got admission since November 2019. Unfortunately that was when the wait now started. cheesy
An immigration lawyer was introduced to my mom who charged 1000 dollars which we paid almost immediately. But this stupid woman didn't do anything for more than a year saying covid and many other rubbish. She only wrote sop and that was even when I almost changed it for her.
Fast forward sha, come December 2020, I couldn't take it anymore I fought with my mom about it so that we can use anothe person. She refunded the money and we decided to us another licensed consultant (A3 immigration). All through, my admission for UOM expired which I reapplied for another admission. I also applied to Thompson rivers university and university of Lethbridge and got admitted into all of them. I also wrote IELTS in January and got 8.0 overall band score. Then I applied for my first visa on March 31st, 2021. Omo I was so happy but as God will have it, it was refused on June 9 and the gcms notes didn't state any particular reason. My consultant adviced that the refusal was a mistake and we should reapply instead of judicial review to save time for fall intake. So I reapplied on June 24 with a complete application and by God's grace it ended in praise today.
Timeline:
First application:
Submission: march 3, 2021
Biometrics: April 6,2021
Upfront medical: August 2020
NSE request: April 14. Submitted IELTS so I sent only MBS and it was acknowledged on April 19.
Refusal: June 9,2021 a few days after I ordered my gcms notes.

Second application
Submission and confirmation: June 24, 2021
No NSE request.
Medicals: I saw how fast the slots where filling up so I booked for August 12 as my previous medical would expire August 9.
Ppr and bvl: around 8:45 a.m today on September 17, 2021.
Documents submitted
All imm forms.
Sop drafted by me and also a LOE tackling my previous refusal reasons.
My sponsors (mom) account statement for both personal and business accounts with closing balance of 25m.
Property valuation of one of my mom's house.
Also landed properties.

I didn't really do much, it was all done by our consultant. Omo yesterday my mom and I even went to buy dollar because of the present exchange rate and I also changed the pounds I had with me to order my gcms notes (My mom didn't want me to order for it because she thought that was why my first one was refused grin). All this was just yesterday. Man I'm still surprised.

Walahi I fasted till I couldn't fast again. In fact I fasted yesterday. It wasn't easy but I am grateful to God it has ended in praise.
I pray everyone waiting also experience this good feeling I'm going through. I am also grateful to this wonderful forum which I got to know about in May while I was waiting for my first application. I'm grateful and will continue to be for all the help your people have offered us.

And to my fellow Nairalanders who were refused, especially @oreoluwapo and @jfrazzy, please I am begging do not relent. The refusal is just a delay not denial. And I pray it ends in praise for you very soon. Thank you once again and please pardon my long story.

I will be sending my passport for stamping on Monday Insha Allah.
Congratulations the wait is over. I tap into your testimony
