Timeline


Application to Conestoga in November 2022, against Fall intake 2023. Got the LOA in 2 weeks

Program - Occupational health safety and wellness
Duration - 1 year

I have HND in computer science and I presently work as aircraft firefighter (Pana Pana is going to Canada). I could remember coming here to seek for advice on my best bet and @lekibobo, @makano, @justmellow and @omiinii all advised that I stand a better chance going with anything related to my job. Lekibobo specifically mentioned OHSW at Conestoga. That was just all I needed to fire the shot.


I paid for my tuition deposit of 1500 cad same day I got the LOA using Aboki Dollar and tidied all my documents accordingly.

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

Anon123:
You made the mistake of not updating IRCC of changes in your admission start date or even told them you have started classes online with your enrollment letter.

You just have to submit your passport as the embassy will issue a visa start date from the date of that September intake.

It will obviously not cover for the entire period on the updated admission.

PatrickOkunima:
Where can one get something like these to buy here in Nigeria?

Belxsz:
Ppr is here o!! God has done it. Omo the excitement is too much.

I Did alot of research here on Nairaland. I then applied June 15th, September I didn't get any update from IRCC, so I decided to defer to January.

[b]It feels good to be able to share my ppr journey with the nairaland family. I was busy with sending my passport that is y I haven't dropped this sooner, but I'm here now.

I sincerely appreciate all the information and personal experiences shared on this thread. It has indeed helped quite a lot of people including me I owe to this forum Alot as I have profited immensely from it.

I shall be sharing my experience and timeline for my which was successful. please ignore any typographical error as I was literally trembling while typing this. Enough has been said about the preamble and now to main Koko "lol"

as I said in my previous post 1 year no be beans, The journey to Canada started for me in September 2021. But I had no idea about the how to go about it. then a cousin of mine who's also in Canada introduced me to this very informative platform.


I took an IELTS examination in December 2021 and I passed excellently well then I started building up my account "I won't go into much details on building my account cause you don't know who is who on this platform" I was determined to building it for at least 6 months. during this time I applied for an admission at York university for an undergraduate program in software engineering.it literally took a whole month before I got any update from york. then came February 10, I got an admission but to my surprise i was offered an entirely different program to what I had proposed for and the tuition fee was also too much. I was weak but I still had time to regroup my self.

I applied for another admission in March, but this time to 3 different schools including centennial college, George brown college and Humber college. i was offered admission at centennial college then shortly after George brown updated me. I waited a little bit for humber admission but it didn't come on time. I decided i had to go ahead and apply for the study permit with the centennial college LOA on may 14th, 2022. note This is my first application.

Find below the timeline:

anytime I come on naira land and see stories of refusal I usually say to my self that "these people that were refused even went extra miles in their application shey Dem go give me like dis" But God came through for me and will also come through for the ones waiting.
I owe alot to this platform, thanks to everyone who played a big role in my journey the 1 year journey has now come to an end.
