Good morning house. Please i need some advice.

@Khalesi, @thesoj, @montrealer @EmmaMsc and all,
Please as a graduate of french langauge (B.A 2005, 2.1, 3.77 GP) with over 7years professional experience in Human Resources, Apart from applying for an MBA or Masters in HR or Masters in French Language, Which other course or program can i apply to and Justify well in an SOP directly or indirectly using my language skills and professional skills.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi I suggest you go for a masters in HR (study in french language). This should be easier to explain in your SOP.

CHEERS

Hello house I got denied because of my personal statement of account, insufficient funds, I used my sister's husband as my main sponsor then. He had. A fixed account of 16million and asalary account of 5million, right now I am. Applying again with my. Sister. Ass the. Main ssponsor and. Her husband as the co sponsor, please I need your help here?

Hi,
I am of the same predicament, I submitted on the 5th Aug to resume sept but i had to defer for Jan 2016 till date I hvnt gotten any medical call yet. from my tracking number which contains CAAB in it, I learnt it means my application is bin processed here in Lagos. So do I still do a case special enquiry? Tho the processing time in Lagos Nigeria is 41 weeks.. getting fed up and rethinking..

Yes you should do an enquiry cos 41 weeks (about 10 months) is actually not realistic. Most persons here get a response from them within 8 weeks.

BTW, i think CAAB means Abuja cos I did my biometrics in Abuja and my tracking number starts with CAAB.

Someone in a similar situation recently asked this same question. Read the last three pages, and see the post above.

Hi all, need your candid advice here please, trying to package application for wify whos a chartered accountant,ACA, but has been working in a different profession for past 6 years,also on contract basis too, one of my concerns is the issue of her work being a home tie,since her job is on contract basis,not permanent, will the VO see her going there to study as an escape route from her job here in naija and ultimately not to return again? Husband and kids are right here...responses please...

How much is your program's annual tuition? How long is your program?

You were denied for insufficient funds either because there wasn't sufficient money available in your sponsor's account or/and the VO had issues with the credibility of your sponsor's source of funds & plans to sponsor you.

Also, do you mean you were also delayed for "Personal Assets & Financial Status" as opposed to "Personal Statement of Account"?

yes personal assest and finacial status, why was I denied with that, I was still serving then

The VO probably just wanted to add spice to your denial letter. Their job is a boring one.

Btw, you didn't answer the question about your program's tuition and length.

Good day guys. Pls I'm trying to apply for a visiting visa to Canada. My fiance is schooling in Canada and just sent me an invitation, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I intend to stay for 2 weeks and come back. I have a job here. What can I do pls? Anyone?

[i][/i]Good day house,
my name is Stephanie , please I need to get some info on how to apply to schools in Canada, I applied for a visit visa in June this year, and travelled September but I'm back to Nigeria cos I work here, my questions are :
how do I go about application looking at U OF C { university of Calgary}, mount royal university also in Calgary because my sister lives there, her husband said schools are quite expensive in alberta cos its an oil province so please I need a candid advise on how to apply for a cheaper university fee against sep next year though I have a valid visit visa that will expire in 2018 I hope this doesn't affect my application as well . thank all

TimeplusChance:
Wooow. You mean you received medical call within three days? Which hospital did you use. If u check some records of pple who got medical call within three weeks, I think it took another three weeks before they got their approval email.
However, jus keep praying. A lady from an hospital called me yesterday that someone who did medical early last month just got approval email yesterday.

did my medicals at children practice hospital in ikoyi!

Hello pple!!!!

Am so worried...I applied 1st of sept 15(paper route), medical call: 21st sept, medical done :22nd sept. I made a cal thru to d hospital(children's practice in ikoyi) n was tld my med ws forwarded 29th. Uptil now, ve nt hrd from d embassy!

Does it tk ds long to get an approval mail!!! My hrt skips evry second...

Pls I'm gonna need u to help me with info about how u went about ur visiting visa. My fiance is in Canada and has sent me an invite. Pls get back to me

my program is process quality engineering conestoga college, I studied chemical engineering, do you have any suggestion on what I can put for my current employment status.

Questions similar to yours have been answered two or three times over the last three pages. Yes, it is very normal. Also, having done medicals is not anymore a guarantee that your application has been approved. Just calm down, be optimistic, and go about your regular life.

Well, your best guess is as good as mine. Is there anything you do in your spare time? Like volunteering at church (e.g. if you are church worker)? Or taking computer courses? Or... I hope you are not being completely and absolutely idle. CIC doesn't like idle people, and in Naija it isn't good to be idle anyways.

Khalesi:
@thesoj, thanks for the detailed explanation. Yeah I'm aware I'll be paying fees for the summer session if I register to take courses therein. My program is charged a flat fee per session no matter the number of courses registered provided one remains within the limits min 6 credit unit - max 15credit units/session. I'll plan to limit my program to 3sessions. So I might take the summer break and finish by 2017 Winter. Fair enough, I'll go ahead and drop one course from my already registered four courses to see how I can cope with 3courses and an accompanying toddler. moreover, winter is coming

Please try understand the core courses before dropping. Some courses are offered in a particular calendar and once you drop it then you might have to wait till the next. Besides, would advise not to drop for now till you resume, understand the process, see if you could cope and if not there is a time limit to drop.

Hey Guys good evening.

A massive appreciation for the job you do here.

I have a small issue I need clarification on.

I applied for my visa a few weeks ago using an admission from Conestoga college.
Just now I received an offer from Carleton university for MEng. Will this affect the outcome of my application??
How do I go about effecting this change to my application. A friend says I could go ahead and effect change when I get to the POE..

PS: I have been required to do my medicals.

Super Thanks.

Thanks man.

There is no problem with that. I had the same issue.

Applied to cic with humber college letter, later changed to George brown college when Humber resumed. Got my visa.

I later applied to Conestoga College when I got a better course. Changed the school at POE.

I was asked why I changed my school....and I told the officer I got a better course and she smiled.

Time to go search for accommodation and alternate child care center. The waitlist seems to be on snail speed.

Hi @pinkiegrace, pls how did u deal with the purpose of visit and employment situation in the 2nd application. Your response would be duly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey everyone. I had to register to share my testimony as it may just be what someone particularly needs at a point. Forgive the length cos this thread has been dry for a while compared to when I first found it.

All in a bid to satisfy my curiosity, I stumbled upon this thread about 2 weeks into my online application. Coupled with satisfying my curiosity, the thread subtlely exposed my many flaws. I thought I had my application all together until it got to the rush hour & mass denial turned the order of the day. But then the rush period passed, CIC september recess and then even afterwards! People be giving their testimonies and behind my phone I'd be like well, There is God! Some people expressed their worries after about a month into their app & after reading I'm just like 'me wey done dey wait since June nko".

However after weeks of seemingly endless waiting, I already gave myself delay letter when God didn't. I been done tick Insufficient funds (lol). + I was really scared when the US & CA sharing information thingy came up cos I failed to give up one of my brother's temporary residence in d US + there was this UG guy who was 17 & was denied. Someone posed probably cos he was underage + i didn't even declare my UK visa, so Travel history suppose be follow come too. There and then i just told myself to get off it as the main reasons for denial are what i failed to fix in my app. But God showed up for me, guys the miracles that happen with prayers ehn? cannot be overemphasized kwa. God won eventually!

Waec result

If this didn't come now, I probably would have failed my Nursing board exam which is in 2 weeks(lol. the worries were all over me) but God's timing is perfect.
Note: I only turned 18 a month+ after submitting my app.
Glory to God!!!

I tap into Ur testimony/miracle my application is still being processed but because of Ur own miracle, mine will also come out approved and in record time. Am so happy for u!!
