similoluwa123: I submitted my visitor visa application April 23rd

Hi, I pray you hear a postive result soon. Planning to submit by june/july too. Pls what documents did you submit?

dommakavelli:

include a leave of study letter.

Noted. Thanks bro, God bless you

kenniy:

since u are already the engineer, he indicating in the letter of intent that the company is sponsoring you to horn ur technical skills.. as u are been positioned as the technical manager (or CTO)..somethin like dt.. really there is much flow in what you do, the company sponsoring u and what u r goin to study.. you wouldn't need much convincing. you should be more concern with why he is sponsoring..the relationship btw u guys..cos its not exactly normal that a relatively small company would make any such investment in a staff..there has to be some bond

Thanks bro, it is well with you sir. About why he is sponsoring me,How do we go about that? and what proof do you think I need to present to make it more convincing that the reason why he is sponsoring me is genuine? Thanks for your help

@Siga&house,
I had the meeting with him yesterday and I know very well that God is at work. He is willing to do everything in his capacity to help me out at no cost. He said he will sponsor me with the company's account. He also promised to give me an employment letter with ID card. He is into Importation of computers and photocopy machines; that is what i have been doing since 2003(sales and services of computer and photocopy machines).The difference is; he is an importer while I am an engineer. So how do we correlate it with my course of study(Information and Communication Technology)? How can we make them know(proof) that I will be coming back to pick a post at the company after my study? What other document do I need from him apart from the statement of acct,letter of introduction, ID card and affidavit of support? I am also thinking of completing and get a professional certificate of some Information Technology professional courses that I already had the knowledge of.E.g, web development, Microsoft access database and Networking.Getting these professional certificates;do you think it will boost my chances and shows that I am not idle for all the years that I have been working. Remember I am going for 2 years college program at the undergraduate level in hope of furthering it to degree level.Anticipating your urgent reply.Thanks to you all.

Mr siga, please I am still expecting your own contribution concerning this post.Like I said,I had the meeting with him on Monday.Thanks sir

hayek: Are there fellow forumites who have used online application and received call for medical? I used the online application platform on May 2nd, 2013. I used the online thing because it is quite straight forward and not complex like the paper application. I have not heard received any message so far although the duration for visa process is 4-6 months. I n case there has been anyone who used online application and has gotten medicals, please share your story with others. I am going for MA and I an self-sponsored ( I have about $35K in my account) and my workplace wrote to the effect they are supportive of my studies and that I would continue to be in their pay roll even while studying.

freshdude:
bro. Have u submitted ur application.?. How did u pay for the bank draft. Does it require account no or something.

Walk into any branch of UBA and tell them you want to raise a draft of N19500 in favour of THE DEPUTY HIGH COMMISSIONER OF CANADA; that is if you don't maintain an account with any of the banks mentioned on their website. Avoid banks that are not listed on their website(e.g Eco, Access etc) cos they'll refuse ur draft. Good luck with your submission.

Just checked the list of approved banks. Gtb was on it. The list is kinda old sha. some banks there have gone into extinction.

bullstriker: CANADIAN DEPUTY HIGH COMMISSION

Draft instructions:

Print the Passport number of the principal applicant on the back of the bank draft.
The draft must be made payable to "DEPUTY HIGH COMMISSION OF CANADA".
The draft must be Payable in lagos.
The draft must indicate if the second signature is not required.
Your payment must accompany your application.
Please ensure that the bank does not forward your bank draft or certified cheque to this office.
If your application is received at this office without the correct processing fee attached, it will be returned to you.
Yes you can use GT bank,but I think you'll have to be maintaining an account with them. ION[/quote]

Since you and your hubby own a company together that is one of the economy or home tie, also your family

Please house, I'm on the online questionnaire, what is the best answer to this question: Have you visited or lived any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year? I have visited some countries on the list but for not more than 6 months in the past year. Should I still pick YES?
Thanks for your anticipated response.

Did u stay up to six months in a particular country?

If you stayed 4 less dan 6 months, choose no.
If you stayed up to six months or above, choose yes.

Funny Nigeria is included in the list too, that's why I'm confused.

it is never a funny question,if you have stayed in Nigeria for up to 6 months then you need to tick yes,they ask this question to know if you need to provide police clearance for any country stayed up to 6 months

Noswaa & Dommakavelli: God bless you; thanks. I will just tick YES.

Good morning,
I looked at the checklist provided on the government of Canada website, the part saying that i should provide "all certificates and/or diplomas. ..."
I don't currently have my university certificate and processing it may be a long thing. However, i do have my transcript and could even get a sealed stamped and addressed transcript and a statement of result stating my grade class in my final exams. Does this cover for the certificate.

Also I've been reading about proof of accommodation. Am I suppose to pay for accommodation when I've not been given my visa? Also i plan to stay off campus, probably an homestay must i include proof of payment ? Can i supply proof that i have the money instead ?

Thank you

The way folks here interprets the questions whether you have stayed in a country above 6 months seems incorrect. If you are a citizen of Nigeria you do not have to pick yes unless you are not. You are a Nigerian citizen who has not stayed in those countries listed for upto 6 months or above. In this regard, being a citizen of a country should not be misconstrued to mean visit. You are citizen of Nigeria and you have not visited or stayed in the countries listed for more than 6 months. In this circumstance you are expected to pick No. Being a citizen and a visitor to a country is NEVER the same.
