It’s PPR everyone🥹… it’s been God all the way, this journey was not an easy one but am forever grateful and another special thanks to Bobomaigida for his unlimited assistance and .

I sent several webforms and emails to all the Ircc email addresses I can get online after I submitted the request letter but no positive response. Even sent to MP as well no response. Two days ago, I stumbled upon some set of new Ircc email addresses I saw here and I decided to send another mail to all of them. Fortunately for me , PPR dropped last night around 8:25pm. Have attached the email address for anyone that’s still waiting for response from Ircc, God will come through🙏

Thank you for your message.

I’m not sure any school has refundable deposit nowadays. The course qualifies for 3years pgwp. It’s in tech! Information Technology with a concentration in Business analysis and business analysis are in the shortage list.

We still have some colleges with refundable deposits policy , you just need to research if they offer your course of choice

[quote author=MarksmanD post=132609703]If you're not willing to pay 1,500 CAD non refundable as deposit, then you're not ready to apply for a visa. I once lost 4k USD non refundable after a visa rejection and I didn't die. People have lost more. When you have made up your mind to lose 1,500 CAD, then you can come here for advice on your study visa application.



Be nice bro, we are all here to learn… not everyone has a million to spare

I guess am the only old applicant left that’s still waiting for a decision from Ircc 🥲 ( 16 weeks counting)…

lordfredrick:
Please did you make any payments again after ing additionaldocuments?

You don’t have to make additional payments, the process of submitting just looks like you making payments on your portal. Just go through with the instructions and submit.

Biddieg:
Good day all, please who else is still waiting for a decision from IRCC let’s know ourselves. We will also testify ijn

Still waiting on God (14 weeks)🥲

MarksmanD:
PPR alert!!!
My BVL dropped 24 hours before my PPR came.
My application timeline was 13 weeks. There was no update on the New portal tracker and the tracker I ed on. Even when my BVL dropped before the PPR. Nothing changed on the tracker.
IRCC will humble you, but trust in Jesus, he's forever faithful and merciful.

I'm a first time applicant and I did my application process myself. I used the New portal. My POF documents alone was almost 100 pages. SOP documents was like 30 pages and I compressed it to 1.8mb. I used almost a month to write my SOP, because I needed to sell myself, not just as a mere student, but as someone who will make valuable contributions to the Canadian economy with my professional skills.

A total of 45k CAD was my budget for this application.
Documents used:
1. GIC (20,650)

2. First semester tuition receipt (11k CAD)

3. Tuition balance in my domiciliary (8k CAD)

4. Flight and ancillary expenses of 5k CAD.

5. 15 months payslips and invoices from previous employer to my current employer and side gigs. Bureau de Change deposit slips.

6. Housing deed of gift which was legalized by the court.

7. Promotion letters (I had like 3 promotions in a year and 5 payrise when I worked for some Nigerian companies). Reference letter as a volunteer for an NGO.

8. My sponsor notorized the sponsorship letter. He also sent the full money I needed to my . He gave me a copy of his residency permit, port data page, investment statement, employment letter and work permit, payslips for a year and his most recent picture.

9. I used my parents as home ties. I hardly take pictures of myself and I had no recent picture with my family, so I used family pictures of when I was a teenager and I added a recent family picture which I wasn't in.
I have a ed business which has never been operational since it was ed almost 2 years ago. I explained the reason my course program would give me the required skill needed in running the business when I return to Nigeria (I didn't submit a tax clearance because the business has never operated. But I submitted the CAC and shareholder documents).

10. Previous study visa rejection letter from another country's embassy. The ission letter of the school that itted me (Still the same study program as in Canada. My study program is on the list of the programs Canada wants and would give PGWP for). The full tuition receipt I paid and the tuition refund receipt.

11. I'm in tech and I have been in the same job role for almost a decade. (I have worked remotely for companies in the top 10 tech countries in the world list). As a remote worker in Nigeria, you need to have multiple receiving s because of different clients and employers would give you their best option to send your money. I had 4 different foreign receiving s. I explained each and every transactions I got in them (I had lump sum transfers) and why I had 4 different receiving s and their pros. Even when I realized that I didn't attach some lump sum receipts to my POF documents 2 months after my application, I sent it with Webform and explained it.

12. My SOP explanation letter alone was almost 10 pages. I was truthful with my application. Where I had an error, I stated it and I showed proof on how the error came about.

13. I did upfront medical at Q-life because it was cheaper than IOM a week before I submitted my application.


This whole Canada thing was orchestrated and led by God, and all the glory, honor, and thanks belongs to him.

I acknowledge the effort of and I thank @Zubizareta and @JMG (Just Move Global), they patiently answered my questions on Whatsapp for free when I started this journey. Special thanks to others who answered my questions on Nairaland.

To others waiting, it's just a matter of time for your own testimony too in Jesus name. At a time I got tired of waiting. My ission process took over 2 months. My visa application process took over 3 months.
Never stop praying and never stop trusting God. Please, be truthful in your application. If you are stuck and need help with your application, you can shoot me a mail and I'll try my best to reply to them.

Congratulations

But how long did it take for IRCC to acknowledge your updated LOA…or wasn’t it acknowledged

Amen. I didn’t get an email but it took about a day to reflect in the additional documents section on gckey but it was acknowledged on the tracker the same day I ed that they have received the documents I sent to them. I hope this helps

Noobyom:
Hi gurus in the house, I’ve been a silent reader for a while and this platform has been a lifesaver…please I need some answers to some questions…

1. What does it mean when IRCC requested for your updated LOA(letter of acceptance) and ed your medicals on the same day?

2. Does IRCC send an acknowledgment to you when you’ve submitted the LOA as requested on the portal and how long does it take to be acknowledged?

Thanks and I’m looking forward to hearing from you guys

Ircc requested for mine as well, medical ed, and I ed the same day. It’s almost a month now since I ed, review of additional document has not started. So I would say it depends on the VO handling your application. I hope it turns out to be good news for us🙏

Biddieg:
Good day everyone, please is there anyone that’s still waiting for a Response since July? Or is there a WhatsApp group to for that? Please help🙏🏽 what’s the way forward since 12th of July, or is there a link to send a message to them Please help me🙏🏽

[quote author=sureteeboy post=130440072]Good evening, house.
I'm unable to fund my Grey dollar card
What could be wrong?[/quote


1. You do not have enough balance in your dollar and it has to be a whole number not decimal when adding to your card
2. You can't fund your USD directly; from naira to USD or naira to dollar card.

ezybaba:

Mine is 6 days now... No update yet

If a link of repayment is provided in the mail sent to you , all you have to do is make the payment then forward the receipt with a letter of apology to the department handling debt to the crown fees, saying the payment was made on your behalf by a third party which you weren’t aware of the charge back and you sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. By doing this , the would acknowledge the payment and clear the debt on your application. Good luck😊
