Tht was dsame msg i received from London


mightyola:
Sent an email to Lagos, Accra, London, Nairobi and I got this response from Lagos:

We write in reply to your email.



As indicated on our website, the processing times provided are based on how long it took to process 80 percent of all applications during that time period and are subject to change. As these processing times refer to 80 percent of applications, some applications will fall outside of these timeframes. In addition, as they are an average, there will be some fluctuations in processing times at peak periods during the course of the year.



That being said, please be assured that the application has been received and is in process. As soon as processing is completed you will be notified.

Thank you very much.

Will the facility be the one to send the result to the embassy or I have to submit a copy too?

Approval Alert! Long Post Alert Too.

I applied on July 26th online. I received a medical request August 8th, I did it the next day in PH. My medicals was updated as pass earlier today around 11am, and about 30mins ago, the approval and Passport request landed.

Msc, McGill University
Documents submitted.
My Sponsor is my Fiancée's Sister. I submitted her personal and business' statements of account (She is a small business owner), with a combined balance of about 13 million naira after she has transferred my estimated tuition fee for 1 year to me (1.2m).
Sponsorship and affidavit of sponsorship letter.
CAC documents of her business
My Fiancée's and my Sponsor’s birth certificates and my Sponsor’s International passport data page (single travel history to dubai).
Sponsor’s family picture of about 8years ago showing me at her convocation ceremony from the University (My Fiancée is in the picture too).
My engagement dinner picture with my Fiancee.

SOP(2 pages)
Resume (It shows my two research publications in international peer-reviewed journals and my current project)
Statement of my long-standing Mutual funds investment account with ARM (1.4m current balance).
TOEFL Result (I wrote it last year for another purpose, McGill didn't require it from me, but I sha submitted it anyway in the rush)
Offer letter from McGill.
CAQ approval letter from Quebec.
Email approval of my Differential Fee Waiver Award from McGill (This DFW allows me to pay tuition and other fees at Quebec rate which is about 1.2m (4120 CAD) instead of International rate which is 19820 CAD).
My NYSC call-up letter, and PPA posting letter (I am currently a youth corper).
My MDCN Annual Practicing License.
My birth certificate, University degree and Transcript.
Parents' and my 4 siblings' birth certificates.
My retired father's landed property and valuation (I didn't do deed of transfer). Valued at 8m.
My father's RSA statement as at when he retired years ago. Balance was 4m.

I was denied Visa twice in the space of a month last year to go and present one of my research work in New York. Also, I was denied a UK visa this last May to attend the Commonwealth Youth Forum as one of the youth delegates representing Nigeria at the last concluded CHOGM in London. I had another paper to present early last month in London too, however, I couldn't even dare apply for a visa again, so I begged one of my co-authors to make the presentation. He already had a UK visa. I have never travelled out of this country before as an adult so my passport is Virgin.

I didn't pay for Tuition, McGill generally doesn't allow you pay tuition until you have both your CAQ and your Study Permit.

I thank God for His mercies, as I didn't know I will be applying for the study permit until days before that July 26th. But God practically fast-tracked my approval. Thanks to @jnyuwa02 and @frankrobben for their immense contributions to this group. I arranged my documents in a hurry based on their back and forth on this thread from day 1.

If their is anything to learn from this my divine grace, is that no two applications are the same. And to always say the truth too. I explained all my visa denials and I filled in the TB part of the application that I recently managed a patient that was diagnosed of Tuberculosis under my care and I was in close contact with him as his Doctor for weeks. I didn't know how such information could have affected my application, but I couldn't bring myself to lying about such exposure while I was filling the form.

Last last, I Thank God!

Congratulations on your approval realshifu.
More approvals to come soon for the TRV hopefuls.

That's great. I pray you get it, so we can link up soon. For the DFW, I was informed that each department nominates their best incoming students based on the applicants pool academic credentials to the Graduate school committee. So there is no separate application for it.

It's mostly offered to incoming PhD students, but in exceptional cases also to Masters according to McGill's website. I didn't know I was infact nominated until I received the email.

https://www.mcgill.ca/gps/funding/international/dfw

Updated:

@samuelson, I just went to read you previous posts now and I realized you have infact been given your study permit, sorry for the mix up. Let's link up..... When are you leaving for Montreal?

Since, you've already submitted your application, i'll advice you should be optimistic and hope for a positive outcome. Besides, A moniker by name kingfintan, claimed to secure his TRV few days ago for a second degree, you can search for him and link up with him. He might be of paramount assistance in your application.

You guys on behalf of my friend. He hasn't been called for medicals, he has used the webform once to upload a letter from school. To buy time, he wants to do medicals and send it. But how would he send the result of the medicals since he has already used the webform once. I'd be glad to get responses.

I graduated from osunstate uni from department of political Science and want to further more but due to my cgpa 2.56/5.0 ,I don't think I can get to the masters level. I came across a school in Canada that offers pgd in public administration which is related to my first degree and the school name is Seneca college in Toronto. my questions are:
1) Is it advisable to get admission without ielts /toefl ? won't it show as a sign of laziness to the v.o
2) won't the v.o see my application somehow, not going for masters direct?
3) do Canadian v.o see some schools in Canada as no go area?

Not taking IELTS/TOEFL is not a requirement in almost all Canadian schools for Nigerians formally educated in English in secondary schools. Neither does a VO construe anyone as lazy who has not taken. There are no go areas in terms of schools with the VO. No matter the school as long as you demonstrate your financial ability, your genuineness to study and return to Nigeria is all that a visa officer is required to access. Getting into certain Canadian Ivy League schools, I observed seems to expedite the issuance of visas. Toronto, MCGill. Those are some of the hardest schools to get into in Canada and obtaining admission to one of them seems to boost one’s genuiness creds with the VO.

That said, yes going for a PGD when you are suppose to be going for a masters, would seem somehow, but it is your burden and responsibility to convince the VO that you are indeed a genuine student. If you are really good in writing and convincing, you should be able to sail through. A low GPA explanation isn’t usually a good explanation. An area of specialization and practicalization requiring study in Canada and not available in Nigeria, is usually a good explanation. Best wishes!
