Guys please I need your help. Went to GTB onyijolemi yesterday to request for draft. Only for them to test me that due to technical issue all draft in Canadian dollar cannot be issue now until further notice. Please what can I do? I don't want to use credit or debit card

A very big thank you to you Damkollins. You have done it again! Not only have you given me renewed hope, you have shared your personal experience with me and the rest of the house, may God bless you abundantly. I was about to pick a hole in your suggestion but i realised that you were right after all.
You know i told the house that i sent two applications before now. The 1st was returned because as a newbie, spurred on by my siblings OZ success, i forgot to include Accra as VO and 1150 CAD instead of 1250CAD as payment sum.
I sent the second 3 weeks later after realizing my folly, this time i sent a COPY of my IELTS and a cover letter explaining reasons but still no success.
I'm quite positive that this your approach will work. Thank you. I'll keep the house posted on my experience.

It is good to know that you still care. Well, to say i am worried or tense is a big understatement. I was hoping Solomonwis could also lend his voice to this big challenge i am facing, but it seems he has been busy on his project. A big thank you to Damkollins and the rest of the house for your responses thus far.
Remember my application was received on June 30, 2014. but July 9 CC applicants are being debited. On a lighter note, Since my profession involves problem solving, i worked out a few scenarios so as to find a solution.

SCENARIO 1
Hotter NOCs 1112 were given attention so they could reach the cap faster. I soon realised however that other NOCs were still being charged including mine, albeit sparingly.

SCENARIO 2
I also thought my Debit card was the problem, but i since found out from my bank that no attempt has been made by CIC to charge it

SCENARIO 3
My application was misplaced. I used to DHL tracking number to track it and found that it was actually received but the name of the official who received it wasn't logged. I also found out that some applications with the same cases did not have problems.

SCENARIO 4
The recent shooting disrupted CIC activities hence the reason for the delay, but alas, they soon resumed to business as usual.

OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN
I called British council to find out if i could request for another TRF but was told that they do not give more than one copy to test takers, they can only send a copy directly to Canada at a cost of N10,000. This of course means that it will not go with my application. this process is not guaranteed.

I called a customer care line +1 613 944 4000 to ask about my application but the agent told me he has no information about FSWP even though i was told he helped some callers some days ago.

I used my UCI to find out from the website, but since i haven't been charged the reply was null.

Lastly, i sent a Case specific enquiry to CIO but responses usually take between 30 - 45 days, at which point it may be too late to apply on this stream. I prefer not to wait for EE because i am not sure it may be easier.

What do i do? This stage is crucial to me because i am about to make some decisions that would be impacted if my PR is issued in a year or two.

ferdimako:

I think ur problem lies in the IELTS. No originals no processing... but ur explanation that you didn't receive it back from them...should set u free. Sometimes, CIC do not send it back with other paperwork or misplace it and acknowledge that by accepting your explanation.

Pple should always make and keep a copy of any documents they send.

damkollins:

[b]Though you sent photocopy with your 2nd application ,the non inclusion of the original copy may be responsible for non charging of your credit card if it wasn't included.What happened to your first application?Did you receive it back?
What of the IELTS inserted in it?
If you want to send this,make sure you are on British council trail to insert it as they can forget.....yes they can forget it.
One story i skipped in my experience in my penultimate post is that British council forgot to insert my IELTS in my second application which ofcourse was returned too.In my second which British sent on my behalf ,i did not include photocopy and the cover letter but in my third application package,i included the photocopy of my IELTS result with the cover letter .....and i made sure a high ranking official personally gave me assurance to supervise the inclusion of my IELTS result.
Ofcourse ....i got my second application back and British council indeed failed to insert my original copy of my IELTS result ..........I'm telling you this so that you will not rely on British council to insert your original copy of your IELTS result.They failed me in the first time so i have to put a lot of pressure on them the second time.
Wish you well .
Cheers[/b].

Ferdimako, it seems you don't understand the details. I have a copy of my Ielts, it is still with me. what Damkollins and I are saying is that CIC does not acknowledge copies of documents when they ask for originals hence the need to obtain another original from BC.

Damkollins, the first IELTS report was sent along with the 30th June application. I know a lady at PH BC, i will plead with her and follow up to ensure they include it.

ferdimako:

Use ur brother's Canadian details and documents for your 5pts claims. Don't worry abt what he had in Nigeria.

samakh:
No, I don't live in Nigeria.

The problem I am facing is with documents which will prove that we are siblings. Father name is not mentioned on his Canadian Passport. It is however mentioned on other local documents but all of them carry incorrect date of birth.

So, will it affect my case badly to submit those documents which have his wrong date of birth but adequately prove that we are siblings?

tola73:
Thanks ferdimako. I will use my visa credit card. But while filling the form, where I have expiry date of card I put 01 for month but its only 1 that shows eventually without the zero in front. I hope its okay. I plan to submit tomorrow. Your advice is much welcome Ferdimako and Damkollins

Hello house,

This question is meant for anyone who has successfully made a GTBank DD draft. What should be the Beneficial Address? I guess the Beneficiary should be "Receiver General for Canada". I'm making an online request to be picked up by proxy.

Thanks

damkollins:

One last advice ,look for a neutral person to help scrutinize your forms for possible errors you may have overlooked .
Cheers.

ferdimako:

What about what tola73 said? Although, she is backing DC now!

Damkollins my NOC is 0113 purchasing manager is currently at 64

What about the beneficiary address? Hope you wouldn't mind checking my application for me
Ferdimako, i have already arranged for someone in Lagos to go to GTB on my behalf. He will tell them i want to do raise it online.

If so.....yes.
If younger .....no.........Lolz
Cheers.

yomifowe:


I think so too.

Well I wish I could share your optimism. My skepticism is bourne out of the fact that even some may and early June applicants are yet to get word about their application.

meta4:
just got a message from my dept that they can't find one of my results. hence the delay in processing my transcript. Helloooo, how did i graduate then and awarded certificate? is that my business now if they can't keep their records?
I don't know what to do now, i need advise please. i wanted to write to the registrar and rubbish them but someone is advising me not to. what do you think House?
this is my only requirement needed before i submit. my plans to submit at the end of Nov looks slim now no thanks to Uniben.
i need urgent advise please.

scrollmeout:
Damkollins, Ferdimako

Sorry that I'm still on your case. I just want to ask
Once I purchase the draft, I am debited right? so what happens if CIC doesn't encash it for one reason or it gets misplaced, what happens to my money?
Thanks
