Someone help ooooo

After linking my application online and decide not to check on it again will the notification come on my mail if my visa is approved and dispatched?

You will get an email update on your application every time there are changes in the application status. However, I advise you do a routine check on you online account (say every 2 weeks)

#COPIED AS WE ALL KNOW EVERYTHING GOOD ALSO HAVE SOMETHING NOT COOL ENOUGH (INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Though) :

Mainly people going to the NORTHERN PROVINCE Initially you will have a non-existent credit score, which can be good or bad depending on your situation. Assuming you've not moved here from somewhere like Scandinavia or Siberia, you will likely need to make some serious investments into good winter wear. Jacket and boots especially (you can cheap out on other stuff like hats and socks, but if you want to keep all your toes, footwear is a must).

Taxes aren't included in prices except for a few things such as gas/petrol. One of my pet peeves was having to guesstimate taxes every time I purchased something in a store here, but this gets better over time. Still, I miss when I could walk into a shop with £5 and walk out with exactly five quid worth of stuff, but at the end of the day the gov't still gets paid.

If you don't have an existing social network and aren't involved in winter sports or activities, your first winters here have the potential to be quite lonely and boring. I remember feeling quite regretful and depressed the first winter (I moved to northern Ontario, so the winters come with all the bells and whistles, such as seemingly perpetual darkness, 3ft of snow and week long spells of -35°C in January: bring thermal undies). Either way, assuming you left friends and family behind… you will probably miss them.

Another huge issue in Canada are our abominable cellphone plans (although it is slowly improving, at least we have 2 year contracts now folks). Heck, even ‘caller ID’ is considered a feature when it's automatically included in most places. Having spoken to Canadians, visitors and expats, the concensus seems to be: if you're from literally any other country, prepare to have your wallet horribly violated each month if you want a decent, first-world plan that doesn't cut out when you leave civilization, includes a bare minimum of minutes and maybe a dab of 4G/LTE. Cellphone (mobile phone) contracts here seem to be stuck a decade behind, and the lack of competition has made for a shitty deal for consumers, but like I said things are changing and likely to improve.

Oh yeah, get used to paying for stuff here. Even bank accounts charge you just to keep money in their accounts! 20 free transactions a month is considered a good deal for a standard account, after which any swipe of your debit card (including deposits!?) will incur fees costing a dollar or more. It's f***ing ridiculous, I gotta say (although unlike cellphones there are some proper alternatives, I strongly recommend PC Financial if you want a no-fee daily account).

Above all, provided you can operate a snowshovel and have a somewhat positive attitude, the upsides dwarf the downsides by a huge margin. You’d have to pay me handsomely to move elsewhere, but even then my citizenship wouldn't be for sale as being Canadian is something I’d never voluntarily relinquish.

Perhaps the main downside once you've settled will be the sense of homesickness when you’re back again in the place you once left, and you realize that Canada is now the place you're lucky to call home.

Gooday house.

please i would like your help. My older sister who is my half sister (same mum)is my sponsor.she resides in the states.as we do not share the same surname how do i go about proving it. And what documents can i attach as proof?thanks for ur anticipated response.

earthgreeners:
Is there anyone here having difficulties paying the admission application fee?

Adjust everyone. All the way from part 4, another elder in the house.

Hi! How have you been? Gist us pls!

CanadianNurse, when I told you that no one is running away, I guess you didn't believe. Here is an evidence.

@Earthgreeners, Welcome! To assist with an application fee, you may need to check back around November/December. People are just waiting for the result of their Fall 2017 visa application.

earthgreeners:


I assume you will be more qualified to apply for a certificate program or diploma at any of the colleges. 2.65/5.0 might not be enough to get a Masters Degree admission, it's highly competitive.

Thanks so much!

The last time i.e 3days ago I checked It showed processing that they are on final decision since few weeks now,I don't want to be checking its making me think alot am asking if I discard that online account, if my visa is processed and dispatched will I get a mail as I didn't pay for any notification even the one they updated I didn't get notification it was cic account I discovered it.

Osemigho:


Say what you want each time you doubt in your mind.

ur birth certificates should bear ur mother's name, and ur mother's marriage certificates plus a little explanation in ur SOP should help as well.

is this message from your CAIPS? (GCMS)

My people. I checked my application on cic website 2 weeks ago and it said updated but when i opened my application i did not see any change in my profile. The same thing happened again today and i did not see any change. Please , do anybody understand this one or has anyone experienced this before. Please my people answer me o.

CanadianNurse:

Yes. That was the only note on my GCMS note. Sorry it appeared repeatedly. It was a mistake.

The rest of the write up was only indicating my datw of submission, date of birth, biometrics, visa payment fees, school, province, etc... which was aligned on a straight line.

I thought the Visa officer will point out the ESl program which was a pre-requisite to my undergraduate degree program. But they didn't.


I submitted my ESL acceptance letter attached with my conditional acceptance letter into undergraduate degree program as instructed by MUN, after completion of ESL i can enroll into my undergraduate program.

1-)Financial status and personal assest
2-) Travel History

The purpose of visit wasn't emphasised on the note.

Thanks @guzenaira. I made enquires of possibilities of requesting for my file and that from cic website it is possible but can be done on behalf of whoever is requesting for it from outside Canada.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

I want to believe is same as using GCMS which about $23 while through cic directly is just $5.

Well, according to ''trv legends and myths'' anytime a VO checks on one's profile then an applicant may see updated on his/her online account. Sometime in June, i saw updated but nothing really reflected in my case. You aint alone in this my bro/sis

Boss,

If this is all your note says, then you really dont have a problem tackling it. But then this CIC we are talking about, their mata dey weak person.

It all falls on the documents you submitted and what you have in your SOP. How did you link your sponsor? How did you show your finance? Are you fully sponsored by your sponsor or partly? Did your sponsor make any commitment at all, Like paying part of your fees or even transferring portion to your account? What is the content of the sponsorship letter?

The travel history is just jara. The main point is your funding which is linked to your sponsor.

I no kno weda you get me sha, but that is what i understood from that note.
