Hello, I’ve been a silent reader here.

I got admission to University of Manitoba early last year for Fall 2020, that was April 2020.
I applied for a second degree program. I was doing all the application innocently cos that was my first application. I was just doing things the way I thought it was done didn’t follow any steps or guideline, only what IRCC stated on their website.
I think that kinda affected my application cos I submitted very late, anyway, I started the process late July and I submitted late September. I discovered this group late last year when I got NSE request.

I used my Uncle, mum’s brother as sponsor, I submitted just what I was asked, no extra. Though I added some certifications I had like entrepreneurial skills and professional courses, then SOP that was a final last minute addition.
My uncle only submitted a letter of introduction stating who he was and a letter of Sponsorship then his SOA.
So at a point I was so scared that I didn’t submit enough documents but I’m thankful for where I am at this point.

My Application Timeline goes thus,


- Applied : 24 September, 2020
- Biometrics Request: 25 September, 2020
- Biometrics done : 27 October, 2020 in Lagos
- Got NSE Request: 12 November, 2020
- NSE submitted: 10 December, 2020
-Medical request: 09 February, 2021
-Medicals done: 10 March, 2021
-Medicals Passed: 18 March, 2021
-PPR and BVL( Dropped around 5:30am or so, saw it when I woke up for Subhi): 23 March, 2021 submitted same day using Dhl, I sent it to Abuja and paid for two way courier.
Vfs got it the next day and sent it to IRCC immediately.
Counterfoil: 25 March, 2021
Passport was ready for pickup the same day, had to start calling Dhl again
LOI: 26 March, 2021
Dhl picked up on the same day, Friday
Got my passport on Monday, yesterday, 29th of March, 2021.

I’m really just grateful for the whole thing cos at a point I gave up and just continued with my life. But God did it for me after several fasting and prayers, Alhamdulillah.
My last resumption date is May 3, 2021 and I’m hoping to travel before then.
Though I have some questions.


Cos the way U of M is that you only pay for the courses you registered for, so do I have to pay tuition fee before I travel? And do I need an enrollment letter before I can travel. Also the SOA, showing proof of funds, should it be mine or my sponsors?

I need to know the exact documents I need to show at the airport here in Nigeria and also at the POE. Cos I really still don’t understand how the whole thing works.

Thank you


For everyone still hoping for their good news, I wish you all the best.
Congratulations!

I really want to thank the gurus and everyone who contributes on this platform and those who keep the platform going. Started from the previous thread, and this is where I got the needed info and direction that I used for the application. Started ffw since August last yr. I didn't respond to questions b4 cuz omo, na when your application pass you go know if you sabi or not o.
Ist Time applicant
Nov 19 - application submitted
Nov 21 - biometrics collection letter
Nov 24 - upfront medical passed
Nov 25 - biometrics done
Dec 15 - eligibility review started (submitted with all NSE docs, guess that's why I didn't get the request)
Jan 5 - the IELTS result i submitted expired
Jan 6 or 7 - 1st ghost update
Jan 12 - 2nd ghost update
Jan 19 - 3rd ghost update
Feb 4- Request letter for MBS, Ircc said the one sent earlier was showing statement not available to be reviewed. Requested and uploaded new MBS same day.
Feb 16- 4th ghost update
Feb 18- woke up to the 5th ghost update
Silence- Started sending web forms and mails from 1st March. Increased frequency of sending web forms and esp mails from 15th March, infact started sending mails everyday at some point. Kept praying and thanking God for an approved application.
March 6- requested for GCMS notes- not gotten it btw.
March 24 - BVL and PPR!!!

-Sponsors- hubby and self. All funds in mutual funds. My cash flow in my acct was consistent tho, not like I had millions sitting in the naira account, but you ll see salary come in.
-No property attached (I didn't have then, I was initially worried about this, but I put it God's hands.
-Attached my letter from work and ID
-Hubby's ID,letter from work,statement of account, sponsorship affidavit and letter
-My car ownership docs
-My pension statement
-Offer letter of a new job upon return
-Volunteer letter showing I currently volunteer at the new job
-BSc certificate and transcript, nysc certificate
-Certificate of courses I had taken in proposed study,which includes 2 LinkedIn courses by the way.
-Then professional membership of proposed study

Program: PGC - Business Analytics
Admission: initially Winter 2021- March start date, then deferred to Spring 2021 - May start date, when visa didn't show on-time
My BSc which I had a 2.1 in, current work and proposed study are not in the same field. But... the proposed study is what I really really want to do. I passionately wrote about it in my LOE, the benefits and job prospects. Showed what I have done to upskill myself in relation to the proposed study, taken courses and volunteering role. The new offer of employment is also in the field of proposed study.
So basically, I think it's about being able to convince the VO, your study should have a logical and feasible end. Infact,I got an MBA admission, but I decided to go with the PGC, because I could speak more to my reasons for pursuing that. I don't think my SOP would have been as solid for the MBA.  Play to your strength, put your best foot forward.Pray, pray and pray.
So I hope this encourages someone.
What God cannot do doesn't exist!!!
It has ended in praise!
Congratulations!

I just finished speaking to an agent and he said I will require IELTS Academic to apply for study permit.

N/B: I used Duolingo English Test result in getting the admission.

Please can someone tell me if I really require IELTS to secure study permit when I didn’t need it for the MSc application. Thanks
Hello,

If you decide to go through the NSE route, then you will be required to submit an IELTS result (both academic and general are acceptable). If not, then you do not need to take IELTS.

It will end in praise.

It all depends on your workplace and schedule. Daily work hours are flexible as long as you do not exceed 20 hours for a week.

Gurus in the house can also help on this one.
