sholay2011:
Lol...naughty guy. Photo ko, motto ni. Best wishes bro.

sholay2011:
Okay...make I gist the house my little experience.


Easily got my study permit at Montreal. The officer just requested for my letter of introduction and on seeing my admission letter that it's from UofM, he seemed impressed from his comment and quickly went ahead with preparing it. My epistle ends here for now. So, for people whose visas were stamped in London not Accra, they don't have a problem.

It is well.

Hello Sholay, thanks for the feedback. Glad you landed Winnipeg safely.
I would be joining you @ U of M soon and I hope my journey is drama free. Although sometimes drama is good as it lands you a business class seat.

@Torishe is the visiting visa out yet?
I sent them 3 emails daily for the past 3 days and the passport got dispatched today. If you're running out of time, i'll advise you to send them a COMPASSIONATE PLEA regarding the application and attach a ticket booking itinerary (you don't have to pay for the ticket). I know 3 people who have done this in the past week and got their visiting visas few days after

JuneFirst:


Do nothing. It only means that your application is currently being worked on. Since you have waited a week, you should receive a message or another update within the next 1 week.

Couldn't have come this far without your help, prayers, concern and advice, particularly after my first application which was a rude awakening.

Special mention also to the forefathers of this wonderful thread, @Justwise @Siga @Fhemmy @Chrigo @Earthgreeners and the likes, who led me to the Canadian dream since Part 5.

slimmy2000:
@ Darefestus, big congratulations to you!!! See you soon at Lethbridge.

Graham355:
Good morning everyone. Please can anyone confirm if a pgd can get me in canada even though I have masters degree. Thanks

TheBae:
I applied for student visa but I applied for visiting visa for some of my family members so visiting me won't be complicated for them. I didnt really submit much cos it was in reference to my application. Just updated SOAs and letter of accompaniment. Applied via paper, that's what I would recommend

iapaciolo:
...They said you have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your several factors, including:
- travel history
- family ties in Canada and in country of residence
- purpose of visit
- personal assets and financial status
...
Please advise me on what to do. Thanks

thesoj:
Do you have a BSc already? Was the program a PGD? What was your BSc in and what course is the Conestoga program? Did you submit an SOP with your TRV application? When did you finish your most recent education and what have you been doing since then? Answering these questions would make it easier to help you.

Btw, a purpose of visit denial is usually when the VO is not convinced about why you are going for the program you are going for. This could be because the course is completely unrelated to your first degree and you did not explain clearly why you are going for the course. It sometimes is also because you are going for a program with a lower certificate than the one you already have... e.g. going for a diploma or advanced diploma even though you already have a BSc.

Gudaftanoon everyone, new here but been on d visitors line for sometime nw ND I want to say a big thank u to everyone for the contributions made here it has been helpful.

I ve something bothering me though, it's abt SOWP. I really want to know how to go about it.


Cc: Team 12

TheBae:
Yes you can apply now as long as the circumstances have changed abit. In your last app, did you submit your CAC documents and your SOA? Any landed properties? What's the longest time you've spent visiting outside the country? Travel history isn't a big deal as long as you're not a regualr visitor of terrorist countries and you've never overstayed.
So if you can show your personal assets and source of income, you'll be fine.

Ajibade105:


Help me with his/her email address

thesoj:
What is the purpose of your travel to Canada? Did you submit an SOP with your first application?

In any case, I recommend you attach to your next visiting visa application a strong SOP explaining and clarifying (with proof) the issues the visa officer believed you did not answer truthfully. This is highly important.

Include every proof you can find about the boutique you run, including CAC docs (if available) and tax certificates). Use notarized copies if they dont accept originals.

tariy:

Please what's SOP and where can I notarize cos I think someone posted they don't accept original copies anymore...
I did include CAC, Yearly payment of Tax n Tax Card

gabrola:
thanks bro, I was scared dat maybe d update was hanging somewhere cos I avnt seen any1 wit such experience hre.

pascal2young:
please i would love to get clarification on msc admission. For those who have gotten admission into alberta,calgary and MUN, did you have to contact a potential supervisor before applying for m.sc

einsteino:


what course were you admitted into? also is it a M.ASc or M.eng?

thesoj:
SOP -> Statement of Purpose, aka Letter of Intent aka Letter of Explanation or whatever else you might wish to call it.

You can notarize a document at a high court. If you are in Lagos, go to Ikeja High Court or the one at Igbosere on Lagos Island.

tariy:

Yea I have Never overstayed in all countries I visit and also included my business certificate, yearly tax payment with the Tax Clearance Card and receipt of 2 landed property purchased too...(Countries are Holland,France,Italy,Austria, Turkey,Malaysia,Dubai,South Africa,India n Kenya....
Abeg which one is terrorist country ooooo
