Since you already did an upfront medicals before, you should upload the e-medical sheet that was given to you when you did it but as long as it is still valid ( done within the last 12 months)..

All the best

Hello everyone.

Please I am applying for a study permit for the second time and as part of generating my document checklist, I was asked if I had done a medical check up with an IRCC doctor for the last 12 months and I clicked on yes because in my last application I did an upfront medical.

Now I was asked to submit a proof of medical exam as part of the document that I need to submit in my new application.

My question is, was I suppose to click “no”
When asked that question or should I am to use my initial medical exam or I would need to do a new medical before submitting my application.

Please your response will be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow, that is nice then...

So once it comes negative, will you continue with quarantine at your own place?

hoodboy:

this one is government funded o , will be here till negative covid result is out

It will sur4ly be same. Before I booked Lufthansa, I wanted to find out about them carrying unvaccinated passengers, they told they follow whatever guidelines from the country of destination. So this situation will be same though.

Thanks for your efforts. If you get additional info, we will appreciate it.

Leyemoshood:










I went to KLM/Air France office in Abuja and i was told whatever update is on IRCC website is what they are following meaning they cant airlift students. I couldnt go to Lufhtansa again but i want to believe the information would most likely be the same, i'll try to go tomorrow though.

Thank God for you oooo. Atleast you crossed before the ban wahala. So the quarantine facility should be the government designated one right? How much did you pay for it and how many days will you be there before proceeding to your own quarantine space as per the new regulations..

Landing Gist

So I booked British Airways flight for 30th of November. I had booked it since September, do the booking at MMIA so I paid in Naira at official rate.

Flight was for 11:45pm but I got to the airport around 4pm keeping with the advice given here to always arrive early.

First wahala was at the scanning machine at the entrance, they found my palm oil and said to take it out, that it won’t fly on BA, I didn’t argue I dropped it because I still had two more, which unfortunately ended up being trashed by BA just before departure (BA doesn’t allow frozen palm oil).

Agric people caught me this point and I had to dash them 2k, was hoping to escape it. After then I went weighed my luggage, had to shuffle some items between my carry-on and my checked in luggage before I was able to move ahead.

Sorry Tee, this is for the poster.


Welcome to Maple land..

Teeprecious:



Congratsssss.
I suppose fly BA to Vancouver Dec 26th o but God knows best. Waiting for things to turn out in our favour. Hopefully I don't have to request refund before then. May Canada favour you.

Hello Chris, how did it go? Did you board?

Chris182:
Planning on taking such chances myself, the worst is I won't get checked in. It won't kill me

They can be reviewing your eligibility without updating it on your portal. Some peoples own are not updated sef until they get PPR. So would one now say they did not review their application ? Mine started the same day I got medical request, ofcourse they will not issue a MR without reviewing eligibility...This just depends on the VO. Some update portal as they go while some others simply update after final decisions has been made.

Teemenzo:


In my own case, eligibility no start at all, dem just slam me breakfast make i chop.

As long as the airline has not suspended the flight, I think he can take that chance though as things are still sketchy..it is well

Chris182:
Take your chances, you might be lucky. The worst has already happened

Sell off things? Why?
I dont think it should get to that though. Indians found a way out and continued to travel when they were banned for the Delta variant. A matter of weeks, people will figure out other ways to travel. Well, we can only keep hope alife. Me I do not want to study online like this oooo.
God will help us

Ketima:


Is really sad. Last last na to go sell the things bought. Please if you're in ph and needs a well sanitized omicron free chicken laps, knock on my door. Goodnight my people.

Ok noted with thanks...

You can read from there. But basically, u should be vaccinated and unvaccinated will be quarantine then Covid test will be conducted at the airport at random

No action is required from you. It's been a week? They usually update the portal in 24 hrs. But really you are not expected to do anything for biometrics though.

vtino13:
Well done guys.

Please a quick question, its been a week I went for biometry, am I supposed to upload the biometry slip I was given on the portal or it will be updated automatically by ircc.

Am a bit confused

Hello Tina, any news as per this yet? You mentioned it will be aired. Please update if you got any yet..

Thanks

Tinakem:


Ok the news will be aired in 30min time. Finger crossed

This was mentioned when they updated about non vaccinated people will not be allowed to enter Canada by January 15th as travel within Canada will he restricted to only vaccinated people by Nov 30th. But it was said for people already in Canada cannot leave without being fully vaccinated. I do not think this is the news we are waiting for as regards the new variant from yesterday. Anyway, let's watch out for more info

Nonsoooooo:
Canada Immigration just updated their immigration policy and it's taking effect from November 30 2021

https://www.cicnews.com/2021/11/new-canadian-border-measures-take-effect-tomorrow-1119687.html#gs.hdwxa6

Well, let's wait and see what the update they come up with as regards that .... I am sure before COB tomorrow, we should see latest update.

Akanoa:

But with all this Omicron now

Yes January 15th ...
So January 14th is the last date for unvaccinated persons to come in.

Lianna2020:
From January , you can still enter from now till December .

Even IRCC shared the update too. I will check and get it here..

Jumax28:


They have stopped the 30days before resumption. My school sent the email last month to notify those with visa can come in sir/madam.

This has stopped ooo. They announced it some few weeks back that one can now travel earlier than 4 weeks provided they justify why. I will find that memo and share here..

gracedson:
You can only travel at least 30 days before resumption. I booked for December 13 too, let’s be hopeful they don’t ban us.

I think we are not allowed to write websites here or so.
Just send me a mail and I will share the link with you. It is only someone in Canada that can order on your behalf which is why people use those third parties. I think its 5cad actually from IRCC page but that is if you have someone that can order it for you directly.

All the best

GracefulG:
Ok thanks
Please what'sthe website for the "just canada" i cant find it
Or can just order it myself?

You can schedule your appointment without getting your BIL yet but ensure you get the BIL before the actual appointment cause you need it to get the biometrics done.

All the best

omariam:
Good day FAM,
Pls, do I have to wait to get Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL), b4 I can schedule an appointment with vfs for biometric capturing?
Thank u.

It is always advisable to get your gcms notes cause the VO will detail the main issues thereby buttressing on the generic refusal reasons you see on the refusal letter. This will give you better insights on how to tackle their concern in your re application.
There are some of the 3rd parties that can request the notes on your behalf like " Just Canada( I used them for mine and paid 19cad), getgcmsdotcom ( 20cad) etc.

All the best

GracefulG:
Hi guys.
Please is it necessary to get a gcms note after a denial? I hear the reason on the denial letter is usually not accurate.
Please how can someone order a gcms note to find out a reason for a denial and how much does it cost?
Please someone .

My dear that your chest x ray is for TB test. You wouldn't know cause they just take your x ray. I actually asked them cause I did my Canada medicals before I went for my TB test for UK test and it was exact same chest x ray. I asked the personnel and they told me the one for Canada X ray was also for TB. More so, this is stated on the tests on the IOM site for Canada medicals. W

You can re confirm this from their site

Tinakem:

Dr will only ask u during check up with Dr. They don't conduct TB test. It's only done for UK. I have my results with me and no TB report there

Yes it's exactly same one you do for the UK TB test. In both cases, if the result does not come out clear or comes inconclusive, the person will be requested to provide three (3) sputum samples over 3 consecutive days. These samples are then tested in a lab and it can take up to 8-10 weeks to obtain a result.

All the best

Mikool101:
Good evening all. What TB test is required for canada study visa. Please is it just chest X Ray like UK TB test in IOM. Please I am asking on behalf of a friend.
Thank you as I await your response.

Oh yes Canada does TB test too. That Chest x ray you do in your medicals exam is for TB test( exact one you do for UK). I have done for both UK and Canada own. If it comes out inconclusive, the person will be requested to provide (3) sputum samples over 3 consecutive days. These samples are then tested in a laboratory; it can take up to 8-10 weeks to come out.

Oh well, you can make more research to re confirm this..

Scott99tish:
It’s Uk that conduct TB test.
Canada do not for study visa.

I sent my PP on the 3rd of Novemeber and I paid 8920 for mine and received it stamped...

PapaObi:
Good day everyone,

I just noticed on be a website that the transmission fee for PPR is now 9410 effective 1st of November 2021. Has anyone encountered this or have people succeeded in getting passport stamped with 8920?

I think the problem may be the transmission fee for your son. I see you did not pay for him, and yes even though he did not do biometrics, you are to pay the transmission fee for him. I also advise people to sign the consent form on behalf of the minor too. I mean no harm in that you know.

I hope you sort this out..

Jojorito007:


I still have some concerns . I sent my passport and my 6 yrs old son passport to Abuja for stamping but I checked my tracking and I discovered that vfs failed to receive the documents and so the documents is on its way back to Lagos without visa stamp . I called DHL to know why but what they said that in most cases like that ‘ it could be that my documents was not complete …. I tried contacting vfs to know the right docs to send but Their phone has not been through.My younger son has a US passport.
I am so stressed right now..
This is what I sent
2 photocopies of my passport ,
2 consent forms
Documents received when I did my biometrics
Original international passport
Receipt of Transmission fee (N8,900)

For my 6 yrs old son
2 photocopies of his passport
Original passport
( he didn’t do biometrics so I didn’t add any consent form)
Please I need your guidance on the proper documents to send

Thank you so much dear...
I hope you and the kids are settling in just fine. All the best to you too.

Residentourist:
You are correct on children below 5years not requiring testing. I'd suggest that you print out that document and even highlight the portion that mentions it for our overzealous brothers and sisters at the airport.
@viviangogos, @slye185 and @jojorito007 I wish you a safe trip when you travel and unprecedented favor everywhere you go. May God go before you and cause every crooked path to be made plain. Amen.

Getting medical request is a very good sign of approvals all things being equal. For getting a date, You will need to send emails attaching your medical request sheet to Qlife and IOM to get available date and explain that you have been given 30 days to respond to the request. If you are in Lagos, it will be best to visit any of the clinics to explain your situation too as to get a date within the timeline. The better thing is always to have your medicals done upfront as to avoid the delay that comes with this kind of situation.

All the best

Jxool:
I got medical request on Friday. Please good people how do I go about to get the medical done?

And requesting medical is it’s a good sign for my application?

Thanks so much

I do not think there is any definite timeline as to when they respond as each application has their different timelines. Some get medical request and PPR same week. For me, my medicals was passed 1st of Oct and PPR dropped November 3rd( that is 1 month and two days later). So all you can do is to keep sending emails to them and praying to God for the speed to remember your application for finishing.

All the best

Andytheo:
Hi guys.

Please checkout my study permit application timeline.
Application submitted: July 12th, 2021
Biometrics done/updated: July 14th
Medical request: September 30th
Medicals done: October 21st
Medicals passed: October 26th
Eligibility review started: October 26th

I haven't gotten an update for more than 3 weeks since I passed my medicals and eligibility review. My program (PGCert) is to start by January and I'm getting worried.

I have raised two webforms complaining about the delay, one 2 weeks ago, the second last week, but no response.

I hear a final decision is made shortly after medicals is passed and eligibility review starts.

Please guys what's your advice?

Check the first page on this thread. That should have the information you need...

All the best

Kayfregs:

@justmellow @ericksen @jeff5gold @chikacic @lekibobo

Thanks for this info. For the Covid test, children below 5 cannot take the PCR test right? So for me, will it be his PP details that will be required for the arrivecan right?

Residentourist:
The challenge I faced was because one of the ladies at the check in desk kept turning the passport upside down as if somehow she'd detect it's genuineness by doing so (lol)I had to show the birth certificate to put her mind at ease
Yes you also need a letter of authorisation from your spouse (if travellingalone with the kids) as well as the copy of his passport data page(this was actually required at the POE just before our permits were issued)
Don't forget to include your child's details on your ARRIVECAN submission and your COVIDtest results.

I was even going to recommend you ask her cause she specifically mentioned it was just the kids PP that allowed them to board. She has re-confirmed it is not required from her response here . Even the screenshot on your post mentioned it is not required... but if you find more information, I will also like to know cause I am flying Lufthansa with my son who is an American citizen too...

slye185:
Thank you residentourist..i actually read your landing gist and i noticed you faced similar questions from our Lagos airport people because you also used Lufthansa. It is Lufthansa document checkers that are requesting for this . I have read in one of the posts that some people were asked letter of Authorization before they can fly with the US Citizen minor. The only letter of Authorization i know is letter from the father or mother who is not travelling giving consent to the spouse to travel with the US citizen minor & a copy of the spouse passport biodata.

Please confirm if this is exactly what you did before they allowed you to board with your kid.

Congratulations to you dear..

Jojorito007:
I have come back to give God all praise .
I applied on May 14..
upfront Medical 20th
I applied with my son of 6 yrs.. Although I am traveling with my 2 kids but the younger 1 has a US passport so I only indicated in my SOP that I’ll be traveling with him. I did medicals with my 2 boys
I got a request for more documents in September.
And my Son’s PPR came in yesterday and mine just got in now.
I started online already since September as this semester is done online only.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this success
