Hi Nairalanders

I am Lagos based Nigerian, I want to apply for a study permit to Canada, I have done some researches, gone through all required document but I am not to certain about my findings and I also need the help of Nairalanders.

During my research, I discovered that Study Permit Request in Nigeria is treated in Accra, Ghana. I also discovered again that VFS processes Application in Nigeria, since all study permit applications are treated in Accra, Ghana, is there any need to go through VFS or I just send all my application via DHL to Accra, Ghana for swift response.

I also want to know if I can process my application myself without the help of VFS and is it a better idea to DHL my document to Accra, Ghana for swift attention.

I also read that I will be needing Medical Exam, Do I go for the Medical Examination first or the Visa Office will have to instruct me, please see link for the Medical Examination: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-temp.asp

I strongly need the advice of Nairalanders to help me out on this because I am running late for School resumption.
