Long post alert

Good evening all, so I am here to finally share my application story.

First time applicant that did all (SP, SOWP, VV) by himself with the help of materials/resources gotten from here.

Upfront medicals => 04th Oct, 2023
I used IOM for my upfront medicals. I tried booking an appointment on the site (with available date of 15th Oct, 2023) cos from 15th upward, those are the only dates available. I thank God it did not go through because i had to reach out to them via email and they booked me for 4th of October.

Until I did my upfront medicals, I never took this whole thing serious cos I got ission last year but differed (due to personal reasons).
I created my IRCC on 10th Oct, 2023.

NOTE: It was after I finished my upfront medicals I got convinced about this new adventure. That was when I started writing my SOP and gathering all the documents. Although, I already got all materials/resources in my notebook (for reference).

I used the old portal (GcKey) cos I know I have a lot of stories to tell and I was sure the new portal won't allow me cos of the file limit.

I finally submitted my application on the 13th of October 2023 (after 3 days sleepless night, just to ensure my SOP is detailed enough).

Before I submitted, I had to make sure I went through all those IMM files like 2 - 3 times and I really thank God i did that, cos I noticed on some of the forms, I did not give full details and co. I had to be double sure I filled all documents before doing the final submission. Thank goodness i went through all the documents again (after ing, I had to re- again) just to be sure I filled everything without leaving anything behind.

After submitting my application, I got a Biometrics request letter. The date available was 30th of October (omo, me that resumption date is 8th January, I wished the date available was earlier).
I finished my Biometrics on the 30th and got PPR on the 31st.

I was really shocked when I woke up to seeing 4 do not reply mails only to see that a decision has been made on the application.

in my mind, i was like [damn it, probably i missed somethings from my application] only to call my wife's attention to it to come double check [abi na my eyes dey see double].

Now, to the documents submitted.

I ensured the document is detailed enough [most especially the field to submitting POF]

Since I am the one to sponsor my wife, this is a page from the document I submitted.

Carefully go through my statement to see and confirm how ready I am, when it
comes to ing this special being in my life. You will see a lot of gift from me to this
love of my life (Wifey’s Name).
As proof of my employment and consulting history, find attached: Attached as addendums to
the Letter of Explanation in “Client Information” in the Spouse SOWP field.
1. My letter of employment to company A (page 3)

25. Tax payment notification (from some of the invoices created) (pages 120 - 121)
26. e-TAX Dashboard with history (page 122)

I made sure the story was really interesting to the reader [making it look more like i am speaking with the person that is going to review my application.

I am the one that did all the payment [application fee, medicals and co].
My Wife's only has 3million in her but we provided 6 months MBS for her while me as the sponsor have enough that can take us for 2 years even without talking.

Talking about school fees and cost of living for the 3 of us.

Every of the file i ed is well detailed, like some of them are going to like 150 pages [na pictures full am with stories].

I used adobe application to compress the file to like 3.9MB and it is not blurry at all. The only ones that almost got blurred where the pictures so, i had to reduce the quality of the pictures again before adding to the document to avoid quality loss.

I submitted my port on 3rd Nov and I got a do not reply mail for decision envelope on 10th Nov.

I sha collected my port on 13th Nov.

WOW!!!!!!

JMG12:
Okay, so in that case, there should be some amount gifted to him from the sponsor as a means to show your commitment, proof that the sponsor has always been ing him, and ensure to cover up the asset part. You must convince the VO that he will return after schooling

Must the money be sent to his Nigeria ?
Is it still necessary to send money to the applicant after covering up his gic cibc payment of 10cad?

Since I havn't done something like this before, I just had to give them my all without leaving any stone unturned. [i no get agent money]

Good morning fam, please do one need colored copy of port for biometric?
Should it be filled with email and phone number outside or when inside. Thanks in advance

Okay, so you can apply from Qatar. Search for a program relating to your level of experience

RegArmani:



Thanks for your kind response.
I'm a Lifting Supervisor with 6years of experience, HSE Officer(2years experience)
I entered Qatar with work visa and I have my valid Qatar ID and Health Certificate

Okay, the GIC certificate can still be used as alternative means

Badadvisor:

Must the money be sent to his Nigeria ?
Is it still necessary to send money to the applicant after covering up his gic cibc payment of 10cad?

Stardor:
Wow, Congratulations to you and your family, pls I'd like to know how many months statement you submitted and how much you showed as your proof of funds, Thanks

I used 1 year for my UBA MBS
Spouse used 6 months (i think that's the max) for GTB MBS

I told them I have 94k CAD [liquid] as proof of funds just for this programme and I showed other assets in my name.
NOTE: I used N561.686/CAD 1

I also ensured I have more than the available funds stated in the SOP i.e. more than the 94k CAD.

Instead of 10k CAD for primary applicant, i used 14k CAD cos, that's what they stated in the ission letter. The insurance is also from the school, so I used info I got from the school to draft the table



I just even realize say i made a mistake for this table. [lolz]

I think you are High on drugs. If you want to get ission, there are links to do that as graduate you need to take ur time and research.
He's doing this for his own personal interest in nearest future. Frankboon1 uses this medium and some claim he scam them thou no evidence. If such personality would be portray with all his effort on this platform, who come be bullscrap to pick people from this thread and help them. E sure me say he will also bill them visa application which they will have to pay double as per exchange rate to secure it for them. Who is fooling who.
If everyone start to extend hand of gesture, what is the need of this forum. Make him open him own thread or forum and make people troop go there not Nairaland. He's a scammer and a ripper.

Depositing 10k cad into the gic with my domiciliary or my sponsor sending some amount of money into my Nigerian ?

I used this Olokings post for everything i did with some other jara jara here and there.

Itua123:
Please where did you get the Total maintenance fee from?

in LOA, just for primary applicant dou.

Thanks so much boss. How do I know if IRCC will need to see my updated statement ? I Instructed my bank to send the soft copy of the statement before before sending my application which they did because I was charged. I also printed out the hard copy.
Please help me understand better.

Oluwaloniglory7:

Only if IRCC need to see your updated bank statement if not you are safe so far the bank statement is not edited
