It's a first stage approval that permits you to commence your studies online while you wait for final decision on your application.. it was used during the first wave of covid-19 few months back too.

Debbyiiii:

Please what is the meaning of this letter
I haven't done the medicals they requested for

Have they started the two stage AIP thingy again or what ?? It is well o.. This font looks a bit off though, so confirm very well o.

Debbyiiii:
Good morning guys
I got a letter from immigration I don't know if it look real

From what I have read from past threads about "Recommend interview", it is often a positive sign. They may require further documents to
clarify some reservations they still have or the senior officer may just overlook and approve it.. Keep your fingers crossed and PRAY for goodluck.
It shall end in Praise in Jesus name.

Celoexpress:
I can't find it here, maybe because my application still says in progress.

My eligibility shows recommend interview, criminality passed, medicals passed, info sharing in progress and final shows blank.

Please can someone explain what it means?

There's a short review labelled as "Text" , it is often found towards the end of the pages. Mine was on page 43 of 44pages. It explains the VO's line of thought and decision made after reviewing your application.

Celoexpress:
Guys, how do you know from GCMS if you will be approved? Also, what do you look out for to know if there is hope? The pages are a lot up to 58 and I did not really see anything like AIP in progress there. This information means a lot to me which is why I need to know cause I need to balance tuition this friday and not need to defer anymore.

Lol at "Look for trouble".
I don't think what you ticked on your questionnaire has any negative consequence. We are only human,and you are allowed to change your mind about your kid accompanying u or not.

oyibo4real:



I understand that nobody is obliged to answer me, but mehn, somebody should say something, am pleafing with you guys. Some people will encourage us to read the 1st page and come back to ask questions when confused, now I've been seeking solution to the above which I think is peculiar to me, everybody is ignoring. Maybe i should just look for trouble in order to draw attention

..

U must cook better isi-ewu or nkwobi for our Nairaland wife this night o ��. She carry better annointing for head.. Congrats again

MY TIMELINE LOADING

Use safari browser if you have an iPhone.
Had the same problem with my android too but I tried on my iphone and it delivered.

Celoexpress:
I have tried Microsoft edge, google chrome, internet explorer and none is working to submit webform on IRCC kenya, china and the main IRCC.

What do you suggest I do guys? I applied October 5 and I have started remote classes on monday. I want to send my bank certificate, reference letter and some other documents. Been waiting for PPR for too long. What do I do since webform is not working?

I need advice from gurus please.

Congratulations �

TimAke:
PPR just dropped guys. I'll give a detailed update soon. Let me catch my breath first

"Held" simply means you should outline all the positions you have held since you got your appointment. I am a civil servant too and what I did is to write out the title of positions I have held from one promotion to the other and their respective dates since after appointment.

silvamania:
Please ooo

Am a civil servant applying for study permit into Canada

That form for temporary resident permit applications where they said have u ever held any government position


Will I need to fill this form cause am confuse with the world “”held”” cause am still active at work


Pls advice me

Don't mind her. AIP has suddenly turned her to "Self designated Immigration Officer" .

It is well !! @Frankrobbyn and other "donkey years" members on this thread, ABEG make all of una no vex o. I apologise on her behalf. Do not let the likes of this person deter you from being the helpful and active person you have been ..

oma22:


If you have nothing to say please shut it, you really don’t have to say anything. I have noticed you like to run your mouth a lot.

"Somebody has been on this thread for donkey years since the beginning and is still here actively commenting because of the goodness of his heart".

See the nonsense and condescending generalisation spewing from your message above.

" Madam know it all and nobody should argue with me ". You argue with emotions and not objectively and you should learn to do better!!!

Are you then insinuating that all the folks that has been active on this thread are doing it for financial gains?

We have heard and noticed you on this thread. Ngwa bye !!!!

Luckymama:


Lol. Stay there and be forming voltron defender of the universe for what you don’t know. Are you aware that some of the “gurus” on this thread are actually business people? It is when you contact them outside the thread for help that they inform you there services are not for free.

He can very well have an arrangement with some immigration lawyers where he gets a cut out of whatever client he directs their way.
heart. Lol

What "ulterior motive" could frankrobbn really have, has he ever advertised or promulgated himself a lawyer or as being part of any judicial committee .. When trying to make a point, however valid or passionate we feel about it, we should try and be careful with the words we use. He is not perfect but we can't deny that he has been helpful to many on this thread without any bias or prejudice towards any member (new/old),
I am not the type to lick anybody's a.. regardless of how helpful they have been to me but still HABA !!! Which one be ulterior motive on top this matter now?

That u have gotten your AIP on your second application doesn't suddenly make you a Guru on immigration matters too.

Make your point and let whomever is concerned make their own decision.

Luckymama:
I really want to rant a little about the unrealistic expectations some of us cultivate about living abroad. Some children sell their parent’s property in order to emigrate because they believe they will “recoup” the money in a few months. It’s not true. Everywhere you live is a struggle. Some of us need to spend time and discuss with people who are already in these places we want to emigrate to so we can know what we are getting ourselves into.

I would advice everyone to check forums like Quora, Reddit and even our own living in Canada thread here on Nairaland to get a real feel of what life is like. Before we all make far reaching decisions without weighing the costs properly.

Rant over.

Lol nothing do you o jare. No vex . So many of us are on edge as it is, while I guess some with AIP are already busy with online class.

Now to your enquiry;

The documents looks good but u need to conscientiously ask yourself;

1. What documents can u include to prove personal asset or home ties that will satisfy the VO that u will return?

2. Is your chosen program of study related to your educational/career background ?

3. Is your Statement of Purpose articulate and convincing enough?

After satisfying all the questions detailed above ,leave the rest to baba GOd “the ultimate VO.
He will perfect it ijmn.

Godsblessings:
Ki le se min O, no one is responding to my request.pls now!!!

According to my sis who works in a bank HQ. Banks don't really disclose such information to third parties (Except for financial crimes purpose Sha o). IRCC can only work with whatever they see on your bank statement. I believe the most they can ask banks is to verify if; you are a genuine customer, whether your account is unencumbered by any debt and if you are a sole signatory to your account.

Pee2Jay9:
Hello team, pls how far does the VO go in verifying specific payment funds stated on the bank statement transactions?

An investment company that is supposed to refund capital is delaying. Will transferring the exact amount of money from another source, but stating that company name in the naration, fly? I'm wondering if the VO will go as far as verifying reference numbers/exact source of payment or if transfer narration is sufficient?

PS - payments have previously been received from this investment and there's a letter to confirm that they'll refund, attached to the application to IRCC

Make I even burst your bubble, the official price wey dey enter government acct na N3,500. Corruption has finished 9ja !!! It is well!!

gatsbym4:



Kilodeeeee
Why are we like this in this country. Something that’s just 7k, laslas 10k.

SCAM !!! Go to police headquarters at Alagbon (it's after obalende) it's 7k physical or 10k by proxy.

NairaLuck:
Good afternoon everyone.
@Lekioboboe @Justmellow and other gurus.
I just did my affidavit of Sponsorship at Ikeja high court. So I enquired at the ikeja police command for police character certificate, they told me N30,000 that it's two documents. They said I'll also do one page of Biometrics (10 finger prints).

Please is this valid? Am I making a mistake? Is the price correct?


Thanks alot

That should be 1190.4 x 10 = $11900.40 for 30 credit course.
I don't know what the term "auditing course" mean though.

hapila:
Thank you @ Yemmy for your response for example 30 credits hours course will be how much now?

From my research, there are tuition fees ranging from 9k-30k and more .It all depends on your program and duration of study. Google studyportal or visit the website of a number of Canadian Universities of interest and check their Cost breakdown. I am sure u will get more clarity on your question.
N.B: Living expenses as per IRCC is 10k CAD.

theForth:
Please to anybody reading this, how far can 6m go for masters in Canada??

It means your tuition is payable per course and not a flat rate payment. So u are to choose the number of 3credit hr course you are willing to enrol for. Although minimum of 2/3 courses depending on your department rules.

hapila:
GOOD DAY EVERYONE I HAVE BEEN HEAR FOR A WHILE BUT DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO SEND MESSAGE HERE. IF THIS MESSAGE CAN BE SEEN PLEASE I NEED CLARIFICATION ON THIS:


Graduate Tuition – 3 credit-hour course $1,190.40
Auditing 3 credit-hour course ---$595.20

WHAT DOES THE ABOVE MEAN?

PLEASE I NEED HELP HOW TO CALCULATE THE TUITION FEE

One year tuition, living expenses and others.

Manifoldlove:
Dear fam, please a quick one! my course is a 2year one. Is it okay to state funding for the first year or for the entire study duration?

Thank you.

Dont know about yours but Not for mine.
For my MPA in Usask, I am allowed to take 6 credit courses ( which is two 3cu courses) per term . I have correspondences from school to back the above up.


quote author=olearypo post=91725286]

You need to take at least 3 courses per semester to maintain full time status [/quote]

That's a dicy one then. Maybe you should try and seek clarity on this concern on IRCC Twitter thread u may be lucky to get a reply from them. Goodluck.


quote author=Ujeinijobog post=91723308]I have no information regarding that. I also don't think I will be able to leverage on your plan cause I got funding.


[/quote]

Is your tuition fee payable per course or on a flat rate termly basis? Mine is the former, so my plan IF I proceed with this online study is to take things slow n steady by taking just 1 or 2 courses to maintain full time student status, doing so will buy me time to buffer any COVID-19 uncertainty.

quote author=Ujeinijobog post=91722413]Hello all,

Please I have some concerns about the latest news of IRCC. It states that more than 50%of the program has to be completed within Canada. The question now is considering the uncertainty of the current situation, what if we have 50% or more of the program online?
For instance, in my case, my school stated that we'll have the fall semester online (but they aren't sure if we'll proceed afterwards). Now the question is what if the fall semester constitute 50%? In that case the eligibility for PGWP will be affected.

Also, I already deferred my admission to fall next year but I don't know if I should retract it. My issue now is if I retract it, will I be able to unilaterally inform the school that I only want to take less than 50% of the entire program online since they aren't even sure whether we will continue online or not?


Still on the uncertainty, I'm worried about what will happen if assuming I get the visa and won't be able to travel. What if Canada opens up and Nigeria doesn't? Or even exclude Nigeria from the list of countries like Europe did? In this case, what if I have to take 50% or more of the program online? This will ultimately affect my eligibility for PGWP.

Thank you.


[/quote]

I believe not proceeding may now turn out to be red flag for a visa officer in arriving at a decision for our study permit final approval. Because, EXCEPT I am the one interpreting this wrongly, and to be quite honest with ourselves, we can't fault this measures Canada just introduced e.g allowing period of application count for PGWP, (infact kudos to them for their magnanimity), at this point we have no excuse to want to defer admission...
Doing so may contradict our purpose of visit which is supposed to be SOLELY for study.
Note: emphasis on EXCEPT.
I'd really like more input on this new development too by the more experienced people.

justexcellent:
I have some concerns about this new IRCC update. What if one does not want to take online classes for fall semester and yet he/she wants to apply for the study permit for fall? Will the person be approved after passing the admissibility and eligibility checks? Actually, the question is how will they differentiate or know those who will be taking online classes and those who wouldn't for fall when examining applications? Also, can the student visa be used for the winter semester if travel restrictions are still in place?

Guys, please what do you think? Many thanks!

Lol you this woman. U are a real CASE study for this forum ��� LMAO @ndi uta !!!
quote author=Pee2Jay9 post=91664601]All these sadists discouraging people, recently applied o. They're discouraging people cos in their wicked minds, their application will stand a better chance of approval with less Nigerians applying. Evil people everywhere... Your wickedness will not allow you to prosper.. Ndi uta [/quote]

@pee2jay@Luckymama but you actually had some questions to ask in past threads too and no one called you names. Pls if you know u lack the patience to give people answers or something as simple as directing them to helpful LINKs to their query , why not just ignore ?!. It's not okay to talk down on people just because you feel you KNOW IT All. Imagine how that person will be feeling with your reply na. It's not cool at all.

Actually i am a civil servant with Academic background in Accounting but now trying to pursue Master's in public administration. So the company policy or board decision can not suffice for me. I think I will go with Sales agreement option. Infact I am working on getting the right document for that purpose already. Thanks for your insight.
quote author=JustMellow post=91479674]

Hello YemmyPOG,

If the name of your boss didn't reflect in any of your documents or mentioned, or reflects different in the transfer history, a sales agreement document/loan repayment document can come resourceful.

But if it negates the aforesaid, then get an authenticated letter of financial support from your boss stating the company's stand and policy in either supporting their employees with financial assistance to further their study or as a friendly/soft loan that will be deducted from your salary with effect from your resumption prior after your study.

The letter should be backed by an authenticated agreement endorsed by the company's lawyer and/or with a board resolution letter approving the funds.

Insofar, the implication of the statement in the second paragraph is that it also demonstrate a tangible home ties of a guaranteed employment securement and returning home to repay back the soft loan. This makes more sense if the prospect study focus correlates with the current employment.

To this end, the idea can be tweaked to meet the desired preference relating to the most suited means possible.

All the best

Pls how can I explain 3million(credit boost from my boss) transferred into my account today when I intend to submit my application in 5days . The only history of such large sum in my account was 6million that I transferred and converted into a fixed deposit in February. I now have a closing balance of N9.3million. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot all in the name of proving financial stability.. Cc: @Frankrobbn1, @Justwise, @Justmellow . Pls I really need your input on this too. Thanks.

@pee2jay9 but what you attached from thread 15 is a different thing from what you seem hell-bent on doing o. . Every section on document requirements has a ( ?)sign to help clarify all this things and it clearly states Imm family information form( NOT supporting docs) .Me I think it's better to be safe than sorry Sha. Goodluck to all of us.
