Don't regret anything bro. Pray and be hopeful. My friend used gckey and got her approval in 11 weeks. There are those that got even less than that. On an average, new portal is significantly faster. I got mine in 9 weeks, I've seen 51 days, 3 weeks, etc. I feel we're not being completely honest when we equate the new portal with gckey in terms of speed and ease of use.

KellyKk:


Both ppr are from the new portal

I regretted using old portal

Hello,
I believe you have what you're supposed to do. Keep sending your biometrics slip to IRCC via webform and email till it is updated on your account

NorthernshoreTS:

Congratulations bro.
This must be New portal. On an average, it is faster than gckey. New applicants should use it

Hello,

PFA the one I sent to vfs. It's very similar to the one sent to IRCC via mail and webform. Can't find the other one now

Azedolf:
Please can you share me the mail for the both parties
Thanks

Hello,

I had similar experience when I did my biometrics. My biometrics number, date of enrollment and expiry date were all updated on my portal, but the biometrics section still showed we need your biometrics.

What I did was mail IRCC, and vfs with the biometric slips I was given after the capturing. Vfs replied that it had been transmitted to IRCC same day my biometrics was captured, then later same day, IRCC updated it on my portal.

Funny enough, my gcms note I received few days back showed that my background check was completed on that day the biometrics was updated to completed.

So, mail both parties asap, and don't worry about it.

Azedolf:
Hello,
did my biometric Feb 9 and it show on my portal same day for biometric enrollment date but till now the biometric is not completed, it takes how many days to complete and approve biometric?

Also will I get message from IOM when they send my medical exam to IRCC cuz I did it Feb 8 and no update yet from IOM

Many benefits. You get to gain industrial experience while studying. It's equivalent to our own SIWES in Nigeria. Knowing Canadian employers value Canadian work experience when judging job applications, that will be a plus for you when you put in job applications.
Another thing is, co-ops are mandatory to be done in your field, so you get to network with industry leaders in your field and make relevant connections that will be helpful after school.

Haremuh:
Please what are the advantages of doing a course with a CO-OP??

Hi,

IOM says it takes between 3 to 10 days to send to IRCC, but you're to submit the form given to you via webform to IRCC asap.
The link to the new webform is https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp?v2

Give it a few days, it'll be updated

purespikes:
People, please I need a clarification. After completing Upfront medical,
1. how long do I have to wait before uploading the e-medical form?
2. How long does it take IOM to send the medical result to IRCC?
2. How can one upload e-medical on the new portal? Please respond

I'm interested in the available apartment you have at North York. I've mailed you

Kunnmi:
so I got your mail I think. your school is in Mississauga, you will need accommodation around that particular city to avoid over 1-hour travel by
bus.
I have an apartment in north york but around York uni, Toronto. so travel time will be 1 hour. let me know your decision .

Yes, I did upfront medical a day after submitting my application.

emmalextemtop:


Uhmm

Before you started sending the mails, have you done your medicals?

I don't think there's a cause for alarm. My CAC certificate was showing as inactive when I applied, but still got PPR.

hayoBams:
Good afternoon everyone,

I registered my business name on CAC's website on the 4th of September 2019 of which it was active then.
So today I decided to check the validity of my CAC certificate prior to my son's study visa application, but surprisingly my business was tagged as inactive.
Would this be a problem to my son's application? as I am his sponsor.
If yes how can this issue be resolved

Hello Chief,

I started mailing IRCC 7 times a day and requested for my gcms notes after just 6 weeks of application. PPR dropped 3 weeks later, though via new portal.

My advice is to start mailing them at this point. It does not take away anything from your application. Worst they'll do is to reply you and say sending constant mails will not expedite the processing of your application. So, fire on right away.

emmalextemtop:


The standard processing time is 3 months right?

My app will be 2 months old by middle of this month, so i can't stand sending then or i should after upfront medicals this month?

Hello,

I'll be arriving Toronto in April with a female friend. Do you have room sharing opportunities for both male and female students in Toronto, Yorkland, precisely?

orobs93:


How far open to sharing ?

Hello guys, I need help with accommodation in Toronto, precisely close to Yorkland area, Lambton college or Seneca college.

Any helpful tips will be very appreciated

Thank you.
Yes, I used new portal

Tcrown2020:


Congratulations!
Did you use the new portal ?

So guys, here is my story.

I have lost a great deal of money paid to agents in the past to secure visa for me, most recently was last year June when I naively paid 285k to an agent to secure admission for me in a Canadian college. It was after this disaster that I stumbled on this thread. I regretted my life and beat myself up for a long time.

Afterwards, I began to read this thread from the beginning of part 18 till I caught up with part 19. I gained a huge amount information from people's timeliness shared, but most importantly, I met a wonderful individual on this thread who'd turn out to be a partner in progress in this journey.

We both got offers for a 1yr PGD program at Cambrian College, but realized afterwards that it was more convenient to go for a 2yrs program because of the PGWP thing. We had to abandon that offer and apply to other schools, but eventually settled for Lambton college, Toronto, May 2022 intake.

Due to sudden unforseen financial challenges, Paying for my compulsory first term tuition fee before the deadline given became a huge challenge that kept me up at night. I prayed like never before and God came through and brought help my way.

Submitting my visa application became another challenge because I didn't know exactly how to package my application as a self sponsored applicant. My profile was kinda complex and my story was very complicated. My friend Tobe1997 convinced me to give it to the renowned Frankrobbn to tie together, as it was his specialty. We hooked up and the man showed his acute knowledge of the process of study visa application. Because of his extremely busy schedule, it was stressful chasing him upandan to get his attention to my application, but as soon as I got it, my story suddenly became simple and straightforward.

I submitted my application on 21st November via the new portal, did my upfront medical and biometrics the next day. Upfront medical was updated to passed on 25th November while the biometrics delayed to be updated on the portal till 7th December 2021 after I raised webform and mailed IRCC about it.

During the waiting period, I prayed, fasted, did midnight prayers, booked mass, did everything I could to show God that I was totally depending on him to complete this project as I had done what I could do as a human. I lost faith sometimes, but his mercies always prevailed.

On the 18th of January 2022, my friend received her ppr while I received mine 10 days after hers. My detailed documents submitted are below:

Applicants personal documents
1. College Unconditional Official Letter of Admission,
2. Tuition deposit receipt (from the College)
3. Copy of my Birth Certificate,
5. Copy of West African Examinations Council Senior School Certificate (WAEC),
6. Copy of my International Passport Bio data page,
7. Copy of my family picture (dad, Siblings and I)
8. Statement of Purpose.
9. NYSC discharge certificate
10. Degree certificate
11. Transcripts
12. Reference Letter from my hometown union
13. Landed property documents in Nigeria (Deed of assignments and Survey plans)
14. Proof of rental payment from tenants (rental receipts)
15. Lease agreement for landed property


Applicant's employment/financial documents
1. Letter of Introduction from my employer.
2. Study leave approval letter.
3. Six (6) months Statement of Account (Personal/salary Account) - N21M normal bank statement
4. Promotion letter
5. Work ID card
6. Resume
7. Business Registration Certificate of my business
8. Particulars of the sole proprietorship of the business
9. Previous employment documents
10. Reference Letter from my business clients

My dad was one of my strong hometies, but I unfortunately lost him this January while waiting for PPR. It seemed like it was shaping up to be a bad year, but God showed up and rescued me.

This whole visa process has taught me so much about prayers and dependability on God, there's nothing he cannot do. Fasting and prayers works folks! Trust in God and there's nothing he cannot do for you. My study permit approval is the most improbable of all because I wasn't the most qualified, I wasn't even qualified. God just qualified me and made me eligible.

I requested for gcms on the 5th of January, mailed like 4 MPs in Toronto, only one accepted to help enquire from IRCC on my behalf. She gave me feedback from IRCC this Tuesday that my eligibility review was ongoing, but as at then it hadn't been updated on my portal. Meanwhile, I started mailing Abuja, Lagos, Nairobi and London like 10 times daily from the beginning of January after my application got to 6 weeks. I'd schedule my mails on my email app for every hour from 6am till 2pm Nigeria time, and they'll just deliver automatically at the top of every hour. The responses were always the generic ones, but I didn't care. I'd send webform via the new webform link in between from time to time. It seemed like the mails weren't yielding any thing, but I was encouraged to continue. This Thursday, I saw that my eligibility review had been updated on my portal, I went back and doubled down on my prayers that night, and then scheduled another 10 mails each to just Abuja and Nairobi every hour against Friday. By the time the 8th mail had delivered by 1pm, I received 2 mails from IRCC and also from their Abuja office that there's a message sent to my portal. At that point, I was in the middle of a serious meeting at the office and my hands were shaking to open my portal, I ran to the toilet and lo and behold the beautiful messages of correspondence and ppr were seated pretty on the portal. I didn't know what I felt. I pinched myself to wake up, quickly urinated to know if I will wake up, but it was all reality. I couldn't contain my joy. After all the sleepless nights, worries and all, God has crowned it all with success.

I am eternally grateful to you all on this platform for the encouragement and information shared freely. God bless you. For those still waiting for their good news, keep trusting, there's nothing impossible for God to do.

Like always, it has ended in praise for me.

Hello,

I can see that your eligibility review has been updated on your portal, so it's safe to say that they are on the path to finalizing your application, sending mails regularly to them at this point won't be bad.

Meanwhile, edit the last picture you uploaded in this post, your personal information is showing

Juyitan:

tobe1997:
Hi guys, i sent my passport for stamping to vfs office in Abuja although I did my biometrics in lagos. DHL confirmed delivery on Friday morning and up till now iv not received any update from vfs office.

Obibaby:
November applicant too, 10th and eligibility started on the 20th of January, 2022. Yet to hear from them, patiently waiting as I do not want to disturb them yet.

Did you get any sort of notification when the eligibility started?

Onlinedoctor:
November 26 applicant, eligibility seen today.

Hi FAVANA,

I think that is a generic response. November applicant too, I've received same email a couple. Since your eligibility review has been updated on your portal, I think you should continue with the mail and webform to get their attention back to your application and take a decision on it as soon as possible.
Wish you success

FAVANA:

PPR ALERT.................
Everybody help me to shout hallelujah to Jesus, the King of kings and the Lord of lords...................... Eledumare, Alpha & Omega, the great mighty king, the God that can never fail...
I got a mail early this morning by 4:16am............ and behold it was PPR........... I started Ph.D program fall term remotely.
21 weeks and 3 days of waiting, he finally gave me a new song............ Indeed what God cannot do does not exist my people..
I contacted an MP in October and the response I got was that my application was complex, it needed additional review. God proved himself as the only one that can do it, not by the documents I submitted, but the divine mercy he showed unto me.
For everyone waiting, God will give you songs of praise as he did for me...
I am awaiting my son's approval, as I trust God for divine perfection.

Hello Username

If you are sure your biometrics have been submitted to IRCC, then an email or web form can be sent to IRCC, and it will be updated in no time.. Let the content of your mail be similar to the way you put it in your post..

Send emails to Nairobi, Lagos, London

Peace

Thanks for your kind response. I've sent a webform as advised

Bobomaigida:

All the best

Very big thanks brother.

eboigbedavid1:




No need to worry bro.. just send dem a webform. I had exactly dis same issue. Did my biometric may 24 or 23 can't really remember, it started showing biometric number etc but we need ur fingerprint was still there. It wasn't updated until mid July. After my ppr, passport stamped and my profile updated, I got to know dat I passed my background check same day my biometric was updated.

Hello guys, please I need help with my application.
I have done my biometrics enrollment, and I have biometrics number, date of biometrics enrollment and biometrics expiry date showing on my portal, my upfront medical has been passed as well, but the biometrics section of the portal is still showing we need your fingerprints. Is this normal or is there anything I should do about it? The screenshots below is from my portal. I applied through the new portal.

Please assist with your responses
