Abidemi1812:
Good morning house. First, let me start by saying thank you to everyone who have shared guidelines on this platform. They were very helpful.

I am asking this on behalf of my sister. She was denied boarding her flight by Egypt air. She had all documents as advised by the school and as per cic info. She had these:

LOA
CIC CORRESPONDENCE
3DAYS QUARANTINE BOOKING
11DAYS HOTEL BOOKING TO COMPLETE ISOLATION.
Egypt air desk staff insisted that she needs a "PROOF OF ENROLMENT LETTER" . Anyone gone through this or is it just egypt air? We contacted the school but they said registration is not open yet so enrolment letter can not be generated. The issued a To whom it may concern bu they still refused. Please help !!!

Hello Milkytins,

You may have to upload the leaflet from the hospital on a webform and send to IRCC.

I am curious the Medical request are they for kids below 10 coming on a visit visa. I am thinking of booking for upfront medical’s for my kids coming on visit visa....

milkytins:
Hi all, please what is the next thing after Qlife medical.
Family of 3.

Hello everyone,

Please I will like to confirm if kids under 10 years are required to do medicals for visiting visa.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been following this thread for a bit.

I had PPR last week Tuesday and sent my passport to VFS lagos on Thursday which got delivered on Friday but till now, I don’t know if it’s been processed or not. I’ve called almost everyday of the week and they keep saying they’ll send my tracking number by “end of day”. Honestly, it’s just annoying how they operate in Lagos.

This is really sad! Frustrating small businesses that are helping to stimulate the economy is wrong not when they have adhered to the extant laws guiding business in a particular location. It is really absurd to hear that they locked people inside the facility.

May God help us and give our leaders the wisdom to do the right thing at all times!

Please I need assistance with the 2nd and 3rd page of the form. Indirect submission consent and the biometrics.

Hello,

I received my ppr yesterday. Thank you to everyone that contribute on this platform. We are all winners. I am optimistic that many more approvals will come through.

Details of application will be posted later.

Submitted application - 21st June 2020 (with upfront medical) - Ist time applicant
AIP - 6th August
PPR - 4th November

Thank you

Hello,

So excited to hear all the amazing news! A big CONGRATULATIONS to all recipients of PPR.

Thank God for the good success.

Many more great news

Congratulations!

So happy for the great news. Many more to come

Home Ties: I have nothing yet in Naija except my family, so had to build on that, let them know my mum was widowed and I am the oldest so I definitely had to come back for them. Added my naija pension fund statement too.

Proof of Fund:
I was self-sponsored with savings equivalent to about N5m. Showed bank statement.

Hello Anon,

I believe medicals is part of stage 2 requirement just like biometrics and security police certificate (see below)


How to obtain a study permit for fall 2020
The first stage is much like the regular study-permit process. International students have to submit:

letter of acceptance;
Certificat d’acceptation du Québec (for Quebec students only);
proof of funds;
proof that they can leave Canada when they no longer have legal temporary or permanent status; and
any family ties to Canada.
Immigration officers will assess these applications and issue pre-approval at their discretion. International students can begin studying at this stage.

To get the full study permit, and eventually be able to travel to Canada, international students will need to submit:

Immigration medical examination
Security-Police certificates
Biometrics

Wait, no medicals or invite and you still got AIP... IRCC is becoming confusing

Good morning,

Got an approval in principle this morning. Submitted on 20th June with upfront Medical. Medical was updated on 23rd July 2020. Biometrics still outstanding as VACs are closed.

Wishing every applicant good success

Hello,

please refer to the link below
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/biometrics.html

Biometrics collection outside Canada
If the site closest to you is closed, we’ll automatically extend your deadline to give your biometrics.

You don’t have to give your biometrics until the sites start offering collection services again. This applies to you, even if your biometrics instruction letter (BIL) says you have 30 or 90 days.

You don’t have to contact us for this extension, and you don’t need a new BIL to make another appointment when sites reopen. Bring your original BIL to your new appointment to show proof of payment.


Hope you find it useful

Mzruffy:
Pls kindly respond to this ������Pls

Congrats Skepta!!

The rest will be perfected shortly in Jesus name Amen.

Wishing every applicant good success.

SKEPTA:
Good afternoon everyone,
I got the following message(screenshot below) from IRCC for my study permit application.I don’t understand it.
Because my background check and eligibility check are still under review.

hello,

Just go ahead and rollover.

dicedapples:
Hi guys, I applied for my study permit on the 1st of July, and part of my proof of funds was a certificate of treasury bills that I purchased. My application is still being processed, but the treasury bills will mature on the 30th which is tomorrow. I don’t know how this will affect my application or if I’ll need to roll over and submit that again through the web form. Please any advice will be helpful, thanks.

Congratulations!

Thank you all of you

NwanyiOkpa:
Amen

here is a screenshot of what's showing on my profile

Your timeline shows they are making great progress on your application as both background and eligibility check are going on concurrently. Based on the two stage approach you don’t need medical & biometrics to receive the 1st approval.

Wish you good success

NwanyiOkpa:
timeline:

applied 10th june
biometric request: 11th june
no other update and i haven't done biometrics
worried!

Hello,

I suggest you check the status panel with icons to see if background check has started. From what I have gathered from all the postings so far, they usually start with background check then proceed to medical request/update.

For the background check, they usually don’t send a notification, so it won’t be part of the messages in your IRCC inbox.


Continue to be positive....all things shall work together for your good.

Wish all applicants good success

I learnt from the webinar held by IRCC in India that they will start issuing ‘Approval in Principle’ from next week.

I pray that we shall have series of great news next week

Hello,

I advise you reach out to the hospital to ensure they updated your medical result on the IRCC interface. Upon confirmation, raise a webform attaching the document you received from the diagnostic center (Qlife or IOM), then write a note explaining the fact that you opted for an upfront medical.

I actually submitted an upfront medical which they recently updated. When I was completing the online form I did not select that I had done medical within the last 6 month. I was advised to raise a webform submitting the medical form obtained from the hospital so they won’t send me a medical request since I didn’t select that I had done an upfront medical.

I am certain you will get a positive feedback from them shortly

All the best to all applicants

Eilenora:
yes it is

Hello Brownie,

I think IRCC has modified its operations slightly based on its latest pronouncement on the two stage approval process for study permit. Submitted my application on the 20th of June with upfront medicals. All these while till 5pm yesterday (23/07/2020), eligibility check hadn't commenced but background check was in progress. At about 9.00 pm yesterday, i noticed my medical has been updated to passed and eligibility check commenced. They did not send any mail notification.

Note: Biometrics still outstanding.

***It will be nice to hear from others as well***

Brownie1003:
Hi everyone,

Congrats to those who have been requested to do medicals. Pls, does medical request come after passing eligibility or before. Pls those who saw medical request, have you passed eligibility?

Thanks

Hello nairalanders, have any Canadian biometric centre opened in Nigeria?

Hello,

Follow this link
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Ujeinijobog:
I just saw this. Thank you so much! But please, how do I access the web form? From my account?

Good morning All,

Just saw revised study visa processing time on IRCC’s website for Nigerian applicants

Thanks everyone for your comments.

My thoughts.....

If the Visa Application Centers are closed in Nigeria, that means biometric capture will be delayed further and invariably student permit processing (i.e. for applicants that have not done biometric capture with IRCC in the last 10 years).

They also stated in the IRCC website that you need to give your biometrics before they start processing your study permit application.

When to give your fingerprints and photo
You can only give your biometrics as part of an application you submit to us.

Read your instruction guide to find the steps in the application process and when you need to give your biometrics.

Example: if you apply for a visitor visa, study or work permit, you’ll need to give your biometrics before we start to process your application.
Find out how to give your biometrics.

Study permit applications are still being processed via only online.

Hello My people,

Sure we are all good

*What do you guys think?

Hello, I advise you go see a doctor quickly. At the moment, kindly ensure the baby’s clothes and bed covers are properly washed well with plain bar soaps (like premier soap) and clean water. Don’t use bleach or detergent.

Use basic soap without fragrance and Vaseline blue seal or maybe olive oil or Shea butter.

Check that you didn’t introduce any new milk to your baby. You may have to isolate what you ate or have fed your baby recently

Had similar experience but found out my baby was reacting to a change in food (milk)

It looks like an allergy but you need to see a doctor to confirm..It will be good for you to be open to your doctor so he can help you isolate and recommend the appropriate medication.

Thank you

Good morning peeps,

Thank you all for your support and honest feedback. I really appreciate everyone for the good work you are all doing.

I need help with this question.

Do your sponsor need to provide their own employment letter and the payslips (especially if the person is your spouse)? Also how do i get sponsorhip declaration form?

If I am the main sponsor and my spouse is supporting, i guess he should be the co-sponsor and is required to complete the sponsorship declaration form

Thank you

Good morning people,

Please i need help!!!

I am writing my SOP for my study permit application and I wish to travel to Canada with my 2 kids below 10 years of age while my spouse stays back in Nigeria.
