UPDATE

Okay long post alert!!!!

Timeline......
I had help from a family friend with first application
First application submitted January 20 - Biometrics done Jan 30 and updated same day
Jan 30 background check started
Then the wait started until Feb 18 - application refused
Same day I applied for CIBC notes but got it on March 16 ( 2 days before I reapplied because I add already given up on the notes and decided to reapply)
Refusal reason - source of funds and the officer was not satisfied that the proposed study will be a reasonable expenses (lol all this VO sef)

Used an Agent for the second
Second application submitted - March 18 ( a month after refusal coincidence actually because network delayed payment since 15th around when naira was going crazy and banks misbehaving)
No biometrics since I had already done it
Then I waited for like forever omo.... When I saw that my application was about 3 days to 7 weeks I couldn't wait anymore so I sent webform to remind them that I haven't gotten a decision
I sent webform on 2nd of May and got automatic response
Medical Request - May 5
I had already submitted upfront medicals in March so I messaged IOM they didn't reply my emails for like 2 weeks omo I vexed and went to their office on 22nd to complain they replied my email same day with my updated e-medical sheet
I had already sent different emails to IRCC within the weeks I was ing IOM I fraustrated IOM lol
May 22 I resent email and webform(I don't know which was faster) to IRCC with my updated e-medical
PPR - May 27 (Children's day gift lol)


Documents....
Applicant:
1st Application
Application form
All other necessary forms
Questionnaire
ission letter/LOA (Centennial college)
Deposit receipt
Waec results
Bsc Certificate

Birth certificate
Nin slip
Statement of purpose - wrote it as a letter this time

Sponsor:
Int'l port data page
Visa pages
Landed property - about 3

POF and statement of about 27m

Second application:
Same document as first application
Reconstructed SOP - added sections so it's easier to read
Added resume - even though I'm not working but I'm taking an internship so I guess it's still relevant
Transcript
Nysc callup letter and PPA letter - because I haven't gotten my certificate yet
Biometrics validity - since I had already done biometrics before
Upfront medicals
Full CAC documents
Some receipts of sponsor's business
sponsor's business card

No survey - there was no time to find it so we move
Paid part of first semester tuition and added the receipt to back deposit payment

I think that's everything even though I used an Agent I already knew most of these things so I technically did it myself lol and I wrote my SOP myself took days even weeks lol but I tried to make it as explanatory as possible
I also deferred my program from May to January.

Good evening gurus in the house! Please I need help in filling my application form with new online portal. Each time I get to activities page and input necessary information about my education and work activities to save and continue error message would pop up that i should give details of what I have been doing since 18 years of age. Of which I input necessary details of my high school which covers that aspect yet! I can't proceed to next page.

The problem is actually not the activity it's the year gap make sure you don't leave a gap in the year example put 2018-2019 then 2019-2020 then 2020-2021 don't say from 2018-2020 then jump to 2021-2022 you skipped 2020-2021. It's confusing lol but it won't work unless you pay attention to the year gap. Good luck

Good evening. Please which of the Nairobi office email addressdid you send your enquiry to because my medical hasn'tbeen updated since April 7th I ed on webform.

Congratulations again my guy I'm just seeing it here lol I've been off NL for a while been busy your testimony just dey sweet me ni. I tap from this blessing make IRCC sef show me love

PutinDBomb:
There isn’t so much traffic for study permits Abi? And the processing time on IRCC website is not saying the same thing? Abi you're working with visa office now. That's how you know that.

If she can post testimony here. Let her kuku post screenshot. She didn't owe us testimony but she post it

Lol who is this guy you are new here but going against people who knows more about the platform okay now. IRCC processing times is for estimation and yes they give visa before the processing times. 11 days is not so surprising because IRCC they shock us steadily. I have read here that someone got visa in two days. Since you know more than most of us why not enlighten us na. Since you know all this why are you on the platform looking for answers again?

portablesuzy:
STILL WAITING PLS I NEED ANSWERS THANKS

Good day all,

I just got ission to both Humber (1yr prog) and Seneca (2yrs prog) but looking forward to going with Seneca cos of the PGWP time which will be 3 years (Sept 2023 intake). The challenge now is that I won't be able to do Biometrics for now till like somewhere around July/August for some personal reasons.

Should I go ahead to accept the ission while I wait till July/August before starting with my application or inform the school about this event, pls?

Starting your application by August ahead of September intake is a risk sha why not submit around April/May instead so you still have time ahead.

Iseoluwani:


Sept

Done

Long post!!! (pls shorten post if you want to reply)

Been a silent reader, can’t thank you all enough for your selfless work, it really helped me. I‘m adopting ogidigan’s method because I think dropping a profile is important. I was desperate for peoples profiles to know if their circumstance was similar to mine.

1st time applicant (though I have an EE profile). 30 year old married (separated) female, self sponsored, living and working in the UK & Nigerian nationality. I studied computing in bsc & msc and I build business software so this is a logical progression- I explained this & that I wanted a promotion in my LOE as reason for study.

VAC: London
Upfront med: Oct 2022
Application submission: 9 Dec 2022
Biometrics: 19 Dec 2022
Medicals ed: 9 Feb 2023
PPR: 3 Feb 2023
Sent port: 6 Feb 2023
Received port: 15 Feb 2023
Session: Aug 2023

GC key portal
Education gap: 6 years
Program: MBA
Duration: 16 months

Source: Salary (Didn’t touch salary during the 4 months I needed for bank statement).
Source evidence: Showed 1 months payslip and job confirmation letter.
POF2: GIC certificate of 10k CAD for one year maintenance.
POF3: scholarship of 40k CAD (50% off my tuition)
POF4: Deposit of 5k CAD (uni refused me paying any tuition until enrolment)

Proof of Ties:
Showed ties to Nigeria by mentioning my parents in Nigeria. Showed ties to UK with my residence permit, wedding certificate to husband (Brit), my ed company & tax documents, my property documents. Obviously not traveling with hubby so I used he and my sister that lives with me as ties. Also Mentioned how the average earning of my field in Canada is less than Uk so I’ll be inclined to return to the Uk (lol I don’t plan to).


Travel history : 9 European countries
Rejections: 1 US visa in 2016 (due to my stupidity lol, I didn’t know what “residence” meant)

Docs submitted:
- POF
- LOE (with UK residence permit, registry marriage cert, Ielts result (optional), Change of name affidavit, degree certs, professional certifications, resume (I couldn’t fit it in the IMM doc). In my LOE, i wrote an explanation for proof of fund, proof of ties, reason for study (this is extremely important as it’s the 3 things you’re marked on).
- The IMMs that applied to me.
- Visa stamps on current intl port.
- screenshot of email from Uni confirming they didn’t want any instalment towards my tuition.
- Upfront med cert
- Letter for internship (coop work permit)
- Conditional Offer letter (they were waiting for my transcripts)

Big congratulations 🎉🎉

Please is there a WhatsApp group for Centennial College Canada for September 2023 intake

Send me an email through my profile please don't drop your number here

What a relief, please can you suggest some universities that would accept it? I would really appreciate.

Most Universities and Colleges would as long as your Certificate would be ready eventually but you'll have to research the schools and courses and check their requirements if you need help you can ask we'll help.

Biometric submitted: 16th December, 2022
Upfront medical ed: 4th January, 2023
PPR: 13th February, 2023

Study permit Application for Family of 3, myself and 2 kids. Hubby, grandmother, dad and siblings as home ties, Including landed properties and a thriving business

DIY application with lots of help from friends and Nairaland. I cant even lie, this platform is a blessing, I come here everyday to cool off my anxiety and get massive encouragement. I pray that everyone waiting will sooner than later have their PPR in Jesus name.

At the end of the day, your best bet is God.

Please, there was no PPR on my children's profile (I applied for study permit for them). Is there something wrong or this is how it goes? Am I to go ahead and submit their ports with mine irrespective?

Big congratulations 🎉
