Yes, I am in BC now.

However, in Kelowna. The place is bustling and with a lot of jobs especially survival jobs as per 20hours. Cost of living is high especially rent. It's saddening!

Pls what abt sasketchwan? Hope we go survive there?

All these ppl saying gorilla una deh very wrong!
They’re just like strong humans and tigers prey upon gorillas and chimpanzees steady in there habitat!
Tigers also kills bears sef, now tigers are stronger than lion so my guess is lion might kill that gorilla sef!

PPR ALERT!!

My PPR came in today at 7am.

I am a first time applicant and I have had  a USA B1 visa refusal before.

BACKGROUND
My initial target was to go to the UK to school because everyone I spoke to said Canada was hard to get into. Last year I applied to about 5 schools, 2 in UK and 3 in Canada.

Fanshawe responded really quickly, I almost didn't take it as I wanted George Brown, they had a course a bit closer to what I currently do, but one mind was like, just take what you see first, so I accepted their offer and I paid 9k CAD using my GTBank USD card.  2-3 months later, none of the other schools I applied to accepted me, George brown I really wanted, said my study gap was more than 5 years as the last time I was in school was in 2011.

I then came on nairaland and I read as much as I could from here, I even asked questions and I got responses. In my case, I have a fulltime job and 2 different side gigs, that pay me monthly so I needed to know if this would not affect me as I am self-funded.

THE APPLICATION

I did not need to write IELTS or verify my documents via WES.
My application to Fanshawe was done via www.applyboard.com.
I wrote my SOP myself, ensuring that I use headlines to break it so that it doesn't become a long read. One key thing I did here was explain how as an accounting graduate, I pivoted into Marketing. I treated my SOP as a story, ensuring that I hit the high notes really quickly without boring or oversharing irrelevant information. The headlines and a brief synopsis for what each section contains can be found below:

YOUR NAME
The Visa Officer,
Deputy High Commission of Canada,
Lagos Nigeria.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

- Introduction: In this section, I gave my name, a bit of my educational background and the course I want to go and study in Canada. I ended this section with saying how this course will improve my career

ABOUT ME
In this section, I gave some info about my family, If you are married, state that, have kids, state it here

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
in this section, I gave more information about my education, I only have a BSC in accounting, so to set the ball rolling for why I want to take a different path in my studies, I stated why I am making the switch to a different course of study.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
in this section, I talked about my work experience, showing a clear progression of my career from after university to date.

REASONS FOR PURSUING (INSERT YOUR COURSE NAME HERE) COURSE IN CANADA
here I talked about why pursuing this course in Canada was important to me, in my case it was very important to get an additional degree in the field I currently work in, if I wanted to advance in my career.

WHY FANSHAWE COLLEGE IN CANADA?
ExIplain why you chose this school and not any other. It would be great to look through your school's website and find out what makes them standout and add it in this section.

SPONSORSHIP OF MY CANADA STUDY TRIP
Explain who is sponsoring the trip, if you are self sponsored like me, state how much you earn monthly, if you paid any part of your fees, state it here, state how much you have kept aside for upkeep. If you are sponsored by someone, tell the story about why this person will pay your fees, show a clear relationship and also state their monthly revenue or salary.

MY FUTURE PLAN
here I talked about what I will do with the Canadian degree when I return to Nigeria

Overall, Make sure you stick to the point, tell a clear story about your life. The general rule of thumb for font size/type on SOP is times new roman, size 12 with a line spacing of 1.5 (I don't know if this is important, but it does make your writeup look neater.

THE SUBMISSION
I submitted my application on March 30, these are documents I submitted
I used the GCKey portal to submit.
- All the IMM forms
- Letter of acceptance
- Passport
- Digital photo
- Medical e-sheet

THE WAIT
This is the timeline after submission
- Upfront medical IOM - March 20
- Apllication was submitted - March 30
- Confirmation of application - March 31
- Biometrics letter - March 31
Biometrics done - April 5
Then silence...
I scheduled emails via my gmail to send to the IRCC emails, Newyork, beijing, nairobi at least once a day. I just scheduled the email for 10 days in like 1 hour and I just left it, same email no changes and my subject line was URGENT - STUDY PERMIT.
May 30 - Medical passed
June 8 - Correspondence letter (BVL)
Then silence again, it was unusual as BVL comes a few hours before PPR but mine didn't, so I started researching again. Then angie88 told me to create an account via https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login to check if I would see my visa document number. On June 9, I checked and my visa and study permit numbers were there under the Document status. I sent a couple of emails but I got a generic response.

THE FINAL APPROVAL.
During the weekend, I had scheduled like 42 emails to go out to all IRCC offices starting from 10am today, but at 7am, I got the PPR. I had to stop all the scheduled emails immediately
June 19 - PPR

TIMELINE
- Upfront medical IOM - March 20

Iceboyblog:
How do I inform them by webform and know the actual office they are processing my application




quote author=angie88 post=123914257]I think u should go and do d medicals and submit and also raise a webform.

If i were you ,i will book for medicals and submit’
It was error on there part and they corrected it by sending you medical request after confirming the error,go and do it anyway it goes you hv nothing to loose on having a medical sheet done.
Then also raise a webform and adress it like someone said!

TemplarLandry:
These systems always try to take ownership of our structures. The ignoramus music Academy is calling Wizkid an upcoming act.
It's mind games and social engineering. Calling pink “white”, and calling brown “black”.
I find it very derogatory to call Africans “blacks”. And it's a shame this centuries-old fraud of human classification is widely accepted.

I might agree with everything u said up
Buh arent we blacks? We arent white.
So depends on the contest used, if u called me black i shld be proud,i dont wana be white!

Fool,u cnt prevail,whom he is against than the youth amd masses cant succed!

malcom1X:
It's because they are all related. Most of them can trace their history.

Those names are not really names of places, those are family names

Well i think u might be partially correct,but a place like jega is a big place, so are you saying the former inec chairman attahiru jega is closely related to all individuals in jega?

Unkissme:
😂😂😂 have your visa been approved? What district are you going to?

Sasketchwan ,i dont know if i got the spelling!

Unkissme:
Lol,hearthrob kwa🤣🤣🤣. I'm not married sha. Thanks for the contributions,means a lot.

Hahaha deh there na,its a very nice line!
This ppl want u to think out of the box

Unkissme:
Yo,I used my siblings (5 of em as home ties) and yes,my sponsorship letter from my dad was also uploaded. What more could I have used? Please advice

Landed documents,your sop work on it and state you will come back and expand it and mechanize it sef, you’ll come back and marry your heartrob whom you’ve done trad with,thats if you’re not married,omo things plenty o,no be everything dem go say online,do ur research!

zubizareta:
Ofcourse they will find out. Wouldn't you fill family section form and also their addresses of your siblings and parents. You want to skip that there too?

Mentioning your tie in Canada isn't wrong. Many ppl have done that. I did, my sister was even my cosponsor.

Think the mistake of this OP was mentioningshe will be staying with the sister despite claiming she has enough funds as sponsor from her acct and hubby acct.

Unless so

Accessed:
I do not think the problem was mentioning the relations she has in Canada. The truth is, most of these IMM forms we fill already carry these details. Don't forget that her sister might have listed her in her own application for PR and when she was travelling too. I feel the only snag in her application was mentioning her sister as a co-sponsor when she already had a good balance in her hubby's account, which could have been sufficient for them as self sponsors. Also stating she would stay with her sister was unnecessary, I guess the agent thought it would strengthen her application alas it weakened it. I think she should not waste time seeking JR, rather get GCMS and if she cant wait for that, refire and only limit her mention to the IMM forms.

Well i think so,na one document deh pass person and na also one fit disqualify am.

clockwisereport:
Kebbi was in the news in the last administration. Didn't you hear "LAKE RICE" anywhere in the last 4-8 years? Which states o you think we're involved?

Didn't you hear about ABACHA LOOT and the role played by SEN ATIKU BAGUDU in the saga?

If you also heard about PANDORA PAPERS, you will know that BAGUDU's name was mentioned in it.

ALIERO/ BAGUDU war for the control of Kebbi was also in the news.

There was a time KEBBI govt was in the news for something related to goat export.

Kebbi was always in the news

I served in kebbi, and being someone frm the east it wasnt easy,i was scared at first,apart frm the long journey its not bad a place.

I noticed ppl took there last names after there place of origin, like jega ,aliero and co

Henny52:
I disagree with you on this. My younger brother just got his study visa approved recently, do note that I am currently in Canada with my husband and I came with a study permit and now on pgwp and it was stated in my brother's application. He clearly stated this in his application "that I and my husband were his only family in Canada"

Maybe the person I quoted earlier didnt provide enough nigerian ties aswell to balance her strong Canadian ties aswell. We dont have her sop and dont kno documents she provided.

Buh i hv seen many ppl simply not mention any ties in canada, its better that way.
Someone here was of the opinion they will find out ,find out how? Are you the only person that has your surname arnd the world.

AdesheO:
Hi thank you for responding. There actually was no lump sum in this account except a transfer from another of my account of 4m which was a bonus received from hubby’s work. The money was transferred from my current account to a savings account. There was not outflow or inflow to this account over 500k in the duration of the statement. I have quite a few friends whose siblings in canada actually sponsored their education completely and they received their Visas. One of the reasons why I listed my sister as well.

Well you showed strong foreign ties, also show strong home ties , these ppl wants you to lie ,be a good lier if you have to,show landed documents,vehicle,if you hv travelled before capture the visa page and show, show CAC to cover the money if you hv too,gift deed and employment letters to back up the money.company vouchers etc

You’ve a high propensity to get it next time,dont think too much.

Kenn55:
Whaattt!!!
Not stating you have a sibling in Canada when you have one is misrepresentation. If they find out, it is a ban not even refusal

A very big lie, you ppl think too much of these pppl as if they’re robbots that detects everything!

I have seen this happen many times ,yet nothing,still progress.

AdesheO:
Hi everyone I am new to this post but came across while researching.

I received a visa denial from IRCC yesterday morning. Application was submitted May 28th and biometrics was given 8th of June and rejection received 13th of June.

The reasons cited were
i) significant family ties in canada (my sister and her husband and kids are permanent residents in canada for 2 years. However the rest of my family is here in Nigeria. I submitted her bank statements and reference letter from work as I will be staying with her. She owns her own home and has a very good income. I will also be going without my husband and 14 months old son which I believe are ties to Nigeria. Including my brothers and parents (my mum has a Canadian TRV)

ii) your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel. (This i couldn’t understand as my bank statement submitted has a closing balance of a little 29 million Naira with school fees for the first session fully paid. My course is a one year course in digital health as I am an healthcare worker. I also submitted by husbands bank statements and reference letters from work for both of us.

I used an IRCC registered agent who is also quite upset at the visa application result and is advising we request a judicial review. I will really appreciate your advice as I am quite confused. I have ordered my GCMS notes as of this morning. But would really appreciate any insights of anyone has experience this and how they overturned it. Thank you.

Someone have meticulously answered the fund aspect for you and i beleive him,i think theres a lump sum in the acct without any explanation!

Buh the main issue is the ties you’ve in canada.
If you hv made enough research or watch u tube videos even in nairaland ,you shldnt hv even pointed out you have sister in canada,that is shooting yourself in the foot.

Thirdly many agents are just thrash, mine was directly responsible for my first denial! He just did nonsense sop and document and submitted!

Second time i used my hand and made research and did the second application without gcm note and still got!

Winch girl.
Anyone that is envying, coveting and planning to downplay my efforts, and says I will not enjoy the fruit of my labour, holy ghost fire!!!

This cooking record has been unchallenged and undefeated for years, But immediately Hilda Baci made attempt to break it, one winch girl pretending to be churchy is enviously coming to deprive Hilda of her labour.
Is there no other record to be broken?
Even God is not happy with such covetousness.
How about Nigerians focusing on breaking other records so that only Nigerians will be record holders in many spheres?
It is the record that her fellow Nigerian broke that hungry her to break.
Evil Ekiti girl.

May Guinness Book of Record not recognize Dammy, in Jesus name.

Thats how many ppl behave!
Open a particular business somewhere that anyone hvnt tot of opening, suddenly you’ll see 100 of that business opening,at the end they’ll cast it and everyone will go hungry!

This is 4 plug 2007/08 XLE
It doesn't come with rear vent or extra functions. . Only the V6 comes with extra options like leather seats, AC rear vent n More

Hahahahaahah , chai my man!
Pls do your research well.

This is the car i have used for 4yrs now!
What makes it xle if it doesn’t have all those luxury things u mentioned?
Xle cars from 2007 to 2011(4plugs or 6plugs) all have those basic things i mentioned blc it will be hard for alaba boys to fix it,other things like wood trims can be replaced.
Xle has jbl premium radio, with amp under passenger seat.
Both front passenger seets are electric control,yours shld be only driver!
Xle must have reae control vents!
Xle doesn’t use knob controls for ac
Xle has wooden trims, although this can be fixed in other trims
Xle has there type of headlamp and bumper (2010 to 2011).

This one is 4plugs too,so it’s does matter the cylinders

Lovely thread, been to china 3 times as per buy and go back to naija!
China has the busiest airport in gz,if u look up the sky you fit see 10 big boeing planes with 4 engines immediately!
Very lovely place to be ,and many ppl dont know abt this!
I normally sort for good in yinma plaza

tsnoop:
Its XLE 4 plug Sir.....

Why will you be selling something you know nothing about?
The ac controls are knob controlled! And no plasma custer !
No rear vent!
So how is it xle?

DaddyGoo:
For those complaining about Ribadu being a cop, a retired AIG is as good as a Brigadier General.

However I would even dare say more senior AIGs, and the COMPOLs/AIGs that eventually make DIG are equivalent to Major General.

The Inspector General is equivalent to a Lieutenant General, seeing as he shares parity with all service chiefs except the CDS.

Are you a military man?

I voted peter obi but tinubu is making everyone like him with this first few days

Evestar200:
Go for Xiaomi Products.

They are far better than tecno, infinix, etc.

Have been using my Redmi Note 9 since 2020, and I have not repaired it once or have any problems with it.

I'm even using it without a screen guard but if you see the phone, you will think is 3 months old.

Even bought Redmi Note 11 last year.

I have an infinix phone since 2018 , maybe I’m very careful in handling phones but e don tey o, although i use iphone as first mobile

Pls o bros, am asking for a neighbor,his medical appointment is on 26th which is too far for him, his agent suggested he just travel down to abuja and beg them to do it, is it possible?

I just hate this man,he looks very dull even as a politician,just imagine the kind leaders nigeria elect😡
Asking an incoming governor to face zamfaras problems,what have he himself bn doing since?
