GboyegaD:

Do you truly think all those things strengthen applications or only makes the process longer? I think the best thing is providing the documents requested and having a good letter of interest addressing other things that you know can strengthen your application. This is why I will support the online application over and over any other type of application.

I know the online is good but I had a problem with it. I wanted to upload my acceptance letter (2 pages) and when I uploaded the first page, it didn't let me upload the second, saying it would replace the first uploaded document. I also tried putting in a file and uploading but instead the file would open and I would be asked to pick one.

MISCELLANEOUS DOCUMENTS

Scan each individual page as jpeg, convert them individually to pdf. Then comebine both pdf to one document. You can do this using adobe pro 9. you can get a CD #150/#200 anywhere they sell pirated computer software. You can DL a cracked version too.

Why call him a learner? My friend if we knew all we do in a day, no one would be asking questions here.This thread would not even exist. Just so you know, it is best to send scanned documents even resume as PDF files so they cannot be easily manipulated at the database where they would be stored.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by GboyegaD(m): 6:17pm On Apr 17, 2013
onuawuchi: Infact this is why I listed. For constructive criticism. So what are the things I listed there, you think will rather add more time to my decision window than strengthen my application. I'm all ears.

You don't need to add the items you have under the family stuff as all you need is just to fill the form and also, your first employment letter isn't needed either

You are to combine the documents and then upload.

Hello,
Well, I have gone through the 3rd thread and this thread. All I have to say is welldone guys. Really encouraging, and na real one family. My mission is tourist visa, but after reading the thread, if no be say I don marry and my pikin small my intrest fit change to study permit o. But still all in all I enjoyed reading the thread. Since I'm not interested in study permit, it seems odd asking questions here about tourist visa application issues and there is no thread for that. My greetings to all the gurus in the house, its wonderful to know people like you still exist, giving others a helping hand, I throway salute for una, expecially oga abi na still prof SIGA. I have your email, and I will mail you soonest, jst incase you can advice on this tourism application I have in mind. My success wishes to you all awaiting TRV, medicals and admission letters. All the best! Cheers!!!

Since you are no longer with the company it isn't necessary. You could mention it in your letter of interest as your work experience and state how it has contributed to why you are taking this program. Remember, its only an opinion though so you necessarily need not take it if it isn't comfortable with you.

What makes it false? Why don't we add our past employment letters with our resume? Don't you think if there is a need for it, they sure would ask Adding the letter or otherwise doesn't buy the trust we expect and I think it kills it more quickly.

on a lighter note, we may have to add our matriculation and graduation gown in the same vein lol cheesy

Unless when's demanded.Like on my Aussie applications, schools want me to include evidence of my workplace and experience...I will get them my first appointment letter and a prepared one-page of my job description and responsibilities signed by my boss. I've worked with one company ever since.

Letter of study leave from your present employer stating they would admit you after you studies.
In your SOP, Make it look like you wanna come bak to work for that company but your greatest ambition is to work wit d ministry
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by dommakavelli: 8:59pm On Apr 17, 2013
GboyegaD:

No one asked for birth certificate now. Why do we want to give them unnecessary work?

They requested for it " birth cert for family members whether or not they are requesting a visa." It's on d checklist.
But if you have a good travel history, you may neglect.. it's just for home ties tingy

Remember i said it yesterday that, the checklist on CIC.gc.ca... is different from naija CDHC

Ok. I don't know what the paper application checklist is however a friend of mine going to Quebec and applying online wasn't asked all this in his application and he just applied last week. If your checklist requires it, please add it.
