I have just bin delayed for the third time.. Guess Canada is not for everyone..... Reasons are not satisfied I will return to my country based on purpose of visit, travel history and personal n financial status.... I paid some funds to the school and also got full funding ..i applied on July 14.....guess is time to move on. Painful... Thanks house

On a second note, why did you pay some funds to the school if you got full funding?

Holyfield1:
I've just been delayed for the 3rd time

Nothing can measure how sad I am right now, after all the prayers and fasting

All is well

Please house if I apply again after deferring my admission till January, Will that raise an automatic red flag?

Won't the embassy feel I'm desperate to leave the country?

All is well, I hereby back out now

Thanks Bayocanny, Austinpee4 and everyone here

Sorry bro, don't back out yet, share your profile once again

Sorry about that. Share your profile and let the house chip in. Now that is desperate applying again for the 4th time against January which is right at the corner. Take a breathe of fresh air and order Gcms. Defer for fall. That will give you a long time to decipher and combat the problem without requesting another deferment. There is only so many times a school can defer your admission before they get fed up of you writing or calling to defer every semester.

Dredre01:
Austinpee4.....Hoping to submit my application this week for January intake. Please Austinpee4 hope not late?

I can't say if it's late or not. The earlier you send in your application the better. The processing time on CIC's website for Nigerian applicants only shows the time frame it took that office to process a good number of applications. Processing and decisions are made WITHIN the time stipulated. So anything is possible from the 3rd week to the 14th/16th week. Endeavour to send in your complete application this week like you mentioned and be hopeful a decision comes sooner.

Markab:
When did you apply? Well, the common mistake we make while linking an application often occur when filling our Given names, it's written as Given Name while we are required to input our first Name and Middle name but we often fill in our first name (just 1 name). CIC ought have pluralised the name or better still written as Given Name (s). So please retry by filling in the your two names in the GIVEN NAME box while you retain your surname in the Family name box as required.

GoodLuck

It worked
Thank you

Opps! Sorry about the outcome of your application. The feel certainly isn't a good one but you will overcome.

Well, just like @jnyuwa02 mentioned, you will need your GCMS file. Take your time and reapply. Actually, you can apply as many times as you can but in so doing, you MUST address the concerns of the previous refusal or officer, meet their requirements and ultimately satisfy an officer that you would leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay. If you do this in the 10th attempt, your application will be approved. The only thing in applying multiple times is that reasons to return home would be stronger as they will also pay attention to how well you addressed the previous concern and your overal circumstance as well as you likelyhood to return home.

Hi guys... I'll be applying for visa against winter session this week.
I think I'm done with my SOP, but I feel I've not addressed the issue of why PGD instead of Masters well. My reasons include, low GPA, pgd serves a masters degree gateway, cost-friendly, intensive and hands-on practical oriented. The reasons sound disjointed and I'm having a hard time bringing them all together.

Also, @Austinpee, could you please review my SOP? I know you probably get lots of requests already but I'll appreciate your input. Sent you a PM already.

Lastly, what are CIC passport photo requirements (size, specs etc) and how many copies am I supposed to include in my application?
Thanks.

Kindly visit page 0 of this thread for proper understanding.

But as for gcsm file, it's a file containing the report and view of the VO in charge of your application and all what your submitted application entails.

Here is a link to it and the below link is exactly what you will see on page 0 of this thread.
Pls dont forget to visit Page 0 for more understanding of Canadian Visa Application.

hmmm....has anyone requested for GCMS after an Approval......

jnyuwa02:


On a second note, why did you pay some funds to the school if you got full funding?

For all other expenses... Payment of additional fund is based on personal conviction... My full funding will take care of my school fees with change to collect self....

I had already paid before getting d full funding....

jnyuwa02:


I don't think a VO is intimidated by anyone's qualifications. You might have applied too many times and come across too desperate to the VO, changing stuff too many times to fit their requirements. Did you submit landed documents and have wife and children in Nigeria and employed in Nigeria prior to your application? Just saying, but given your circumstance, this may have helped. Sorry about everything, it's Europe's gain!!

hi i sent you a mail kindly reply

Stadiax:

How much was your full funding a year and what is the cost of room and board and additional expenses like fees and health insurance and books for one year?

maygreaves:


hmmm....has anyone requested for GCMS after an Approval......

Oga, I only gave a meaning about gcms file that will suit his/her current situation.

Nobody should take just what we see or read here as the best answer but should make more findings or ask more questions.
Google too can always solve or enlighten the case at hand.

they will call for it if needed.

McOsheBaba:
Please, I have a quick question. If I get my new admission letter after deferring the admission, do I need to submit the new admission letter to CIC or wait till they request for it?

Gud day Sir, pls I applied for student visa since May 5th. Biometrics have been completed but I haven't heard anything from the visa officers. Is there a way I can write to the visa officers to remind them cos the processing time has already elapsed.

1. In my humble opinion, PGD/C are reasoned to be attached to your (new) job/vocation. For ex. you trained as a diplomat but want to branch into (say) law, it is expected that you'd get a PGd/c to officially familiarize you with the new line.
2. The school is concerned with the suitability of your Dip/Cert to your previous degree or job (and you have crossed that?) while the VO would be concerned with why you are not doing the PGD/C in your country. My point is that what you should work on majorly is convincing the VO why you dont want to do the prog here in NG ...this is the main thing.

Points:
1. Convince the VO that the prog is aligned to your present job ( or previous degree)
2. why not in Nigeria but canada

Cool, research course work?
Still waiting for profs reply from schools

By the Grace of God I will be applying for TRV soon.

I have been seeing a lot about the financial part of the app on this thread, but there are certain things I do not understand yet. For instance, the sponsorship part: In my case, I'm not the one sponsoring myself but my dad. Do I need to open an account for myself and deposit huge sum of money into it or what? I'm quite confused about that.

Another is that, when is a large sum of money considered money lodging?

Better still, I'd prefer if I can get a detailed information about sponsorship and anything that has to account/finance. This way, there won't be a need to ask any questions regarding this matter again in the future, and others can learn from this information. Thanks.
