hayek: The way folks here interprets the questions whether you have stayed in a country above 6 months seems incorrect. If you are a citizen of Nigeria you do not have to pick yes unless you are not. You are a Nigerian citizen who has not stayed in those countries listed for upto 6 months or above. In this regard, being a citizen of a country should not be misconstrued to mean visit. You are citizen of Nigeria and you have not visited or stayed in the countries listed for more than 6 months. In this circumstance you are expected to pick No. Being a citizen and a visitor to a country is NEVER the same.

The question is being asked to determine primarily if you will require a medical test. If you have lived (visitor or citizen) in the listed countries ( Nigeria ) included, in the last six months, then you must answer yes and will be required to go for a medical test. I doubt if answering no will be in your interest.

Hi...Good day to everyone...Please, is there anyone who applied to University of Manitoba for September 2013 and has gotten response about their admission status?

hayek: Are there fellow forumites who have used online application and received call for medical? I used the online application platform on May 2nd, 2013. I used the online thing because it is quite straight forward and not complex like the paper application. I have not heard received any message so far although the duration for visa process is 4-6 months. I n case there has been anyone who used online application and has gotten medicals, please share your story with others. I am going for MA and I an self-sponsored ( I have about $35K in my account) and my workplace wrote to the effect they are supportive of my studies and that I would continue to be in their pay roll even while studying.

I am also interested in learning about the experience of anyone who used the online application process- as at yesterday processing time has reduced to 36 days and they are currently working on applications received on the 3rd of April, 2013. Please anyone that has been called for medicals after submitting online should please share their experience.Thank you

How did u get this information because I submitted my documents on 27th March. Pls I need to know because i'm worried.

Pls, what form should the self addressed courier envelope be? Someone should throw more light on this. Do I need to visit a DHL or Fedex office to get one? Pls, I need answers.

The online application status you looked at are those applications submitted inside Canada and not those submitted outside Canada. The one inside Canada are for those whose study permit has expired or about to expire and would need to renew same.

You can only apply inside Canada if you have been issued a study permit outside canada before and you are within Canada now and the study permit has expired or about to expire. As for whether you are citizen or visitor, there is a difference between the two words. There is no question of semantic misinterpretation about this. You would recollect that in the main application form you were asked your nationality and country where you are applying from and if you are Citizen of country where you are applying from. The requirement is this: Naturally applicants from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Middle East are to undertake a medical test as long as you have resided in any of those country. The argument that this is being asked regarding medical is defeated. As along as you are from Africa, Asia, Middle East or Latin America and have lived in any of those countries for less 6 months and you are citizen, you would need a medical test. The question is clear for us. Have you visited any of these countries in the last 6 month or above 6 months. The question wants to test other things which I cannot pin-point now given the available information at my disposal. If you are a Nigerian Citizen, the answer is NO given the fact that you are not a visitor to Nigeria but a citizen. This information is being asked in the application form itself. Citizen and Visitor are not the same.

Hi Hayek, the question on the cic site is- Have you visited or lived any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year?- Nigeria is on of the designated countries, do still think i should answer no?

I'll advice you to use a MasterCard or VISA card, via the school's website. Personally I have paid fees to my school twice with no problems. Payment was confirmed immediately and I got a receipt via email within the hour. One of those which I presented to the Deputy High Commission. Call your banks if you feel you need further assurance...

I honestly don't think we should be filling form A at this stage in our lives. My opinion... Cheers!

Can mastercard or visa card be used for tuition fee payment? In case of refund how will it be done?

imadebaby:

... and i agree with you. However my school will only accept wire transfers from international students. I will advise anyone whose school is will to accept online payments to simply do that, life should be easy . However if your school is like mine, i did the transfer through standard Chartered bank but i guess a lot of other banks also do it

Please house, my good Oga at the top do University of Manitoba accept people for Premasters and do they consider second class lower.

...You guys need to stop confusing una sef with all these processing time crap....Visitor visa is different from Study...all cases different from each other....the more wahala (documents) u put for ur application, the longer it takes...make CDHC life easy when u apply and inturn, u make ur stress level reduce....Even when processing time for visitor was a month...my mama got her own in 5 days....

Visitor visa is between 35 - 45 working days as per CDHC website ...
