@houz, am one of the canadian may hopefuls, and am planning on submiting my application as soon as possible so as to ensure ample time for processing, i want to ask for the kind of docs to submit coz my dad is my sponsor and he owns an engineering servicing company and am also going to study pre-engineering program at the university of winnipeg.The questions goes thus; do i have to submit the original copy of dad's certificate of registration?, do i have to make a court of affidavit of support?, pls i nid responses asap, tnx in advance.

@shavel


You will need to submit a photocopy of the cert of registration but it will be more honored if you notarized it too to make more acceptable.

Also, you will need to make a court sponsor's affidafit by your dad.

Submitt on time so that yours wont like ours ooooo ( January hopefuls)

lol, thanks bruv.

@tolyem I have mailed my school, so there is no point of me going to the embassy tomorrow again, USASK4life my num is 08023591581

@ tolyem, thanks a lot for the email bruv. Hope to get a feedback from them soon, @ cycline, I didn't get ur previous post on time, anyways, was at cdhc today but was kindda late for enquiry, I was delayed by our new lekki tool road which caused heavy traffic congestion today. I have also sent an email to U of S, Hope to get something promising from them. Remain blessed bruv

@usksa4life, Let me have ur number so i can call u, !

I have a question, if you are going to study at a boarding school in canada (Pre - Uni) and you have already paid your fees (tution + accomodation + feeding) how much do you still need to have in your account? Thanks in anticipation

pals dis d embassy is doing is really dishearthning, next week will make four months i sumitted my application and not even a medical callup. Or do they send TRV without medicals cos i heard it happens at times, i live in benin and cannot come to lagos nw cos of the busy nature of the road, what do i do nw pals, sincerely need ur advice. Also help with their number so i can call them since their response to mail is application stil in process or a decision not reached yet.
My resumption date is 3rd january 2012. Thank u all

@prince christian
This is really dishearting,it is likely that you wil have to a new date.You shud try and go to their office yourself and insist to meet an offical to explain your situation personally rather than relying on mails.

Prince christian. I understand how u feel, Believe me, both emailing and coming to their office doesn't change anything. U can't insist on seeing an official bruv. My home is a stone throw frm cdhc, it was in d past when people can actually go in to make enquiries. Things don change bro, I was there today though. I met some peeps there waiting just like we are. Anyways, as regards new start date, it is usually better if u knw d outcome of ur application before u go appplying for a new date and most times, they instruct u to get a new start date alongside ur meds instructions. And yes, I overhead one of the security guys saying they have seen lots of cases where they waive meds for students. Just keep ur head up partner.and uhmmm. Have u been given a new file no? D number that starts with S3?

Unfortunately, you are not going to make Jan 3rd. Differ your admission and use the opportunity to visit the embassy and find out first hand the status of your application while submitting a letter showing the new date.

You need to do medicals to get a study permit to Canada; no short cuts!

Whoever you heard has no clue about the process. They do not have the power to waive medicals for a Nigerian(or African) looking to study in Canada. It's a law!

I just got back from Canada on both business trip and holiday and i feel like encouraging the guys here. I was in Toronto, Montreal and Calgary for a while, these are like 3 diff regions, so i can chip in one or two things

I have been following this thread even though i wasn't going for study, just love seeing Nigerians making good suggestions and helping each other

I want all of you complaining about the stress and time you have to wait to plsss stop, because studying in Canada is one of the best choices you will ever make in your life . Its a country with happy people, who look forward to seeing you.  Honestly if i were a student and am being told to wait a year, i wont mind as far as i am given the visa. Infact i once met some Americans from Ohio who are planning to relocate to Canada. I vote for a study in Canada for the ff reasons

1. Blessed with Natural resources, oil and many more so it is self sufficient.
2. Good and responsible government.
3. Shielded by the USA from massive illegal immigration so crime is reduced (No Mexican gangs and drug fights).
4. For the religious its better than the UK because u are free even to build a Buddha temple.
5. Genuinely happy people, happiness can prolong your life. They respect you , the racism nonsense is almost zero
6. You get job easily after graduation, you can become a citizen in some cases after 3 years, you know the rest.
7. Don't be scared about the cold, its enjoyable with warm clothing besides most houses have heaters. And if cold wahala too much you can move to more moderate areas like Vancouver and Toronto.
8. They don't poke nose like the USA,hence no single bomb threat.

The truth of the matter is that if your application is full proof, you have a 90% chance of getting your visa, i don't believe its much about praying,fasting without good preparation. Magic wont just work. I also want to appeal that if you feel you aren't fully prepared for them, don't apply wait for the right time. And that time will come if you work harder in nija. I was denied a US student visa 4 times about 15 years back but at the moment i can tell you that no consulate ever refuses me a visa. So timing and preparation is crucial, if you have doubts in your mind about your application please investigate it well and see what remedy u can provide.

These people have seen your country and they know what their country offer in exchange, so my dear they are never in a hurry to answer you . It can be a test of patience but its worth the waiting. If money is not a problem i will advise the use of those established agencies for application, because they would have put your documents thru the first phase of screening,thereby making the consular job easier. Agencies don't guaranty visas but any visa officer seeing such application is happier knowing that his job has been half done.

I wish you the best. Peace.

@ all, I just got an email from cdhc asking me to advise them of my passport number as it appears on my international passport and thank God I still have a copy of it. Pls, who knws why they want it cuz my heart just skipped a beat,

Infact,this keeps me going, +1
@meine,
You've said it all. Canadian education is worthwhile. In my case,God wants me to be patient. I won't lose hope. I will get myself treated and I know I will get the study permit ( by God's grace) Though I have to wait for minimum of 9mnths to 1year to get myself treated of relapse PTB. Yet,I am optimistic. I've got to keep moving.

@HOUISE

do someone have to send toefl test score report to cdhc when applying , or u can tell them your didnt ask you that even though they did , do they usually contact the school

@bashtee,@delta007 and@usask, ! I appreciate you for all your advice. I have been given a new file number. I guess it will be better i wait for the embassy before i differ my application and requet for a new start date, I pray God's will be done in our lives.
Advice me if to wait for CDHL first before i proceed with my new start date. We all shall be canada in jesus name

@all
greetings in the name of the most High
I have little  issues with application. I have recieved my acceptance letter but the date for resumption is march 05 2012
can I still apply and also I have statement of a/c of about 3.4m naira of which I am hell bent on removing 600k from it wat could be my stand for visa approval as my statement of account still read 3.4m

@ sucre

Dont submit the application, coz it will definately be returned. Just beg the school to give you another with an advance date, going by my calculation, it does not meet the three months thing, even the processing time is more than 3 months.

On the issue of bank stattee no probs if unless you are sponsoring yursef and you havent pay any fees (not just deposit) but if u have paid the first semester fees then u are good to go

@house


do i have to send toefl test report to cdhc for study permit application ?]

@toylem
bro i called the school and they instructed that I scan the letter from the embassy to them and I have not submitted it to the embassy what do I do

@cruz

Jst refer them to the page link on d cdhc website that states
"Student Applications must be submitted a minimum of 3 months prior
to their Acceptance Start Date but not more than 6 months prior to the
start date. Due to current volumes Students should allow 4-6 months
for processing."
