BashToks:

I was denied on the grounds that
"You have not been able to convince us that you are a bonafide student" which according to vfs is what they say when they have no candid excuse for denying an applicant.
I did everything by the book didn't leave any room for error and yet I got denied at the last minute.
VFS said they got way too many denials for a week or 2 cos they heard a new new immigration officer stepped in to handle applications for 6 weeks.
So bad timing for me and all the other numerous people that got denied during that period I guess.

I have one question for people that have used or are using the online application route though..
Do I need to upload a receipt for tuition payment right from the start or should I wait until the embassy asks me to do that.. cos as it is am due to get my full tuition refund from Seneca college by end of January so I can now use that to pay for my new school.
ThanKs!

lexmikey: Bros them slam me denial too.God dey sha.

flaiboy: Hey guys, got a msg in my CIC inbox requesting for my passport for final visa processing. Meaning my TRV is ready!
I applied online on Dec 8 as a self sponsor and I'm heading to MUN for MASc Environmental Systems Engineering & Mgt. I have a first degree in Environmental Engr/Tech, but I presently work with one of Nigeria's leading bank in Lagos.

Start date: May 2014
Program fee: $22,000
Online app submission: 08/12/13
Biometrics: 11/12/13
Med request: 03/01/14
Med done: 04/01/14 @Asaju
Passport request: 10/01/14

DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED

1. Study permit and family information form.
2. SOA N6.5m, May 01 to Dec 05 2013.
3. Past investment certificates; employment letter; telex copy and receipt of $2000 tuition deposit; pensions statement; 3 months pay slips; affidavit of self support; and executive summary of financials.
4. Letter of Acceptance
5. Passport and police clearance cert
6. 3 page SOP; CV; academic transcript; nysc discharge cert; and local & intl awards.

Will truly like to say a big thank you to the house, cos I've been following this thread since June 2013 and read from Pg 1 of Part 1 to date. The things I learnt actually helped me to package my docs effectively.

I will like to clearly state that withdrawal of funds from your acc after printing of statement does not raise any red flag. The funds in my acc came in Nov as lump sums, cos I had to liquidate my investments in the money market and I printed on Dec 5th. After printing, I moved all the funds on the 6th, cos I do a lot of investing, therefore, I dont leave so much in my acc. The embassy does not ask for ur present acc bal as at the time they contact the bank, cos the bank is bound by the law not to release ur financial information to any third party without a written approval from u. The only orgs that are exempted are CBN, EFCC, NFIU and ICPC. All embassies have signatory booklets of all banks in Nigeria. When u submit ur statement to them, they compare the signatures on the statement with what is in the sig booklet. If they are not comfortable with it, they contact the desk in head office to confirm the authenticity of the statement. THEY DONT ASK FOR PRESENT BALANCE, cos they are not entitled to know that. The only details they are entitled to are the ones in the statement u gave them. If they want to confirm present bal, its left for them to ask you for a new SOA with specified date. Please this is a fact and not here say. I hope this info will help some people.

Also note that ur SOP is key. Explain as much as u can or u are comfortable with, even if its 10 pages, #just saying. It may be the only opportunity u have to make the VO understand certain things that he/she is not clear with in ur app. Then trust in God. Ask to for wisdom to effectively package ur docs.

Lastly, if you are new here, I'll recommend you pay the sacrifice to read through the whole thread. It will really help u. If u cant, at least read thru part 4 & 5, since a lot has changed recently in Canadian visa app. God bless and favour us all (admission, medic, & trv hopefuls and those already in canny). Amen!
