To all May June and July applicant slide in my pm, I have a secret for you guys.

I actually went to anifowoshe on Wednesday. The person I met just like me at first sight and he told me the secret then he prayed for me and wish me good luck. I may go back there and tell him thank you.

This visa suffered me.
The day I did my biometrics, VAC was still working till 8 pm that day, I left home around 7 and left VAC 7 pm. I was sleeping on steering... I almost had an accident that very day but God came through for me. So whenever I remember that day and imagine why my visa is still pending, tears will drop from my eyes and I will look up to God.

I contacted more than 150 MPs (senators) in Canada then on Wednesday I gathered mind and drive straight to Anifowoshe.

I was in the movies watching “Hotel Mumbai” as soon as they finished the movie, I saw the alert in my email address.

I will recommend you guys to watch that movie and thank me later.

God is indeed faithful
Nara ekele chineke.
May June July, don’t lose hope, your visa is sooner. Don’t forget to hit my pm.
“God answers prayers”

God bless everyone that is reading this my success story. Whatever you ask from God, don’t give up, he knows your worries. He will answer your prayer.

“When God wants you to grow, he makes you uncomfortable”

Please don’t mind my typo error. I am so eegxited.

To the bolded, it cracked me opened. I have known your moniker for a very long time, and I rejoice with gratitude to God for placing me on this fora to share in this silent but yet melodious happiness. Big congratulations Austacus(the gcms man), and to the rest camaradaries(May, June, July, early August), similar victory story awaits y'all(small congratulations in advance first).

Please share your findings on what's been/has transpired with May, June, July, early August applications here, for posterity sake likewise your timeline.

You done feel alright last last!

Thanks so much for acknowledging me .I will call the admission office during the week.I know you have said something about this issue but I will like to ask further.Are you going to advise online or paper submission?Do I need to submit police report and medical along side with my first application or I should wait till they requested for it?

Frankrobbn1:


It's good to know you're making successive progress with your application. With regards to question, payment of tuition fees prior to visa application is not a prerequisite to visa approval. Having said that, if your school doesn't require you to pay an upfront tuition deposit before the start of term, you don't have to do that. Simply submit your application with other supporting documents and bank statements showing clearly that you've adequate funds to cover for the first year tuition and living expenses and the possibility of funding for subsequent years is attainable.

DMerciful:
OK... Following you so when you get your visa, you know someone there

no wahala. Following you back

I am so sorry to hear about this. I pray that your next attempt works out for you.

Biometerics validity - 4th Apr
Denied - 5th Apr

I had barely 300k in my personal account, 15m in estate account paying tuition of 43k cad plus housing, second sponsor is my brother who is signatory to estate account acct bout 3m and over 40m ARM account. Please guru let's analyse this and yes I have ordered gcms immediately.

I want to actually thank you for taking out the time and pain to type all of this out to give us perspective on what you did. I also want to thank you for showing commitment to helping people out with their queries. Also, congratulations on receiving your study permit! I wish you a successful academic year ahead.

I have two questions for you
1. You mentioned that you were able to merge some family pictures with your CIC IMM form. I didn't know that was possible as i thought the CIC forms had some added technicality to them with the whole adobe flash thing and what not... How did you merge the files? smallpdf?
2. Under what section of your application did you attach your upfront medicals?

ILoveDLord:
OK wonderful people!

THIS IS MY STORY, THIS IS MY SONG.

Q- life is cheaper but to get appointment is a looooong thing.
IOM is expensive but you can get a closer date

Try Abuja you might get a suitable date that is if you dont live in lag or close to lag "based on logistics"

Anamekele:
Please can anyone shed more light on the best and cheaper clinic for medical between Q-life and IOM.
Thanks

Congrats bro..

Bro, sent a pm. Aug 2nd 2018 applicant. 4th application so far. Abeg, I need am. Thanks

Austacus:


Are you may/June July applicant?
This is not a easy way to get your visa approved bro

It’s only applicable to those that have been waiting like methuselah on how to get the full attention of the VO handling their application
Prolly not for new applicants.

Merging Documents


Yes I did.

But please note, I do not think it's the best way to do it though. I mean merging other documents with CIC IMM documents. I think the IMM should be completed and attached alone.

In retrospect, I think the "Client Information should be a better place for all extra documents that are are not clearly called out in the tabs where documents are to be added.

At the time I did my application, I was not sure or did not know that all such documents should better be attached be attached to the "Client Information Tab". Even my SOP, initially I merged it with the my admission letter and other academic credentials and was ready to submit, when someone reviewed my application and advised that the SOP should be on the client information tab.

I left it that way still attached with the admission letter but went ahead to still attach the SOP to the client information tab. I did this because I was ready to submit the application and didn't want to start editing the documents all over.

So the only document I attached on the client information tab was my SOP.

I only did what I thought was reasonable at the time and posted it here, just for information. Fortunately it worked for me.

If ever you want to try what I did, please DON'T attach/merge any extra document with the IMM1294E form(that is the application for study permit form)
I tried it by merging some documents. But when I uploaded it to the "IMM1294E document tab" it was rejected, that the document is not in the required format. I think my merging and saving in the format I did somehow affected the validation bar code on the form.

I used a combination of two apps, "pdf reader for Android" and "All pdf" both on my phone, for the merging, rearranging of pages etc. And then to reduce the size, I still those two apps. However when I needed to drastically reduce the size of the merged documents without affecting the quality of the documents, I used ilovepdf, an online tool for compressing documents

But of course, I had to use a laptop to fill the IMM forms. IMM forms are not readable on phones.

Upfront Medicals:

There was a specific tab for me to add upfront medical. I guess this was because I had indicated that I had done my upfront medicals when I was answering the preapplication questionnaire.


Pardon any typo errors. Sorry for the too much details, I'm just detail oriented.

sillysassysally:

2. Under what section of your application did you attach your upfront medicals?

Apply with the upfront medical.

Recently getting an appointment for the medical exam takes a lot of time.

sillysassysally:
Hey guys,

I have a little dilemma.
Should I apply for my study permit by Tuesday (April 9th) and wait for them to call me for medicals or should I apply by Thursday (April 11th) with upfront medicals?

Q-Life is cheaper by about 6k. However, it seems like IOM sends the result to the Embassay faster.

Anamekele:
Please can anyone shed more light on the best and cheaper clinic for medical between Q-life and IOM.
Thanks

sashaa:

Congratulations! And thanks for all the details you have provided.

My question is on proof of funds as I'm also planning to apply as a self sponsored applicant. Is it okay to leave your funds in fixed deposit instead of liquidating it? I noticed you did that. I was planning to liquidate my money market investment and move the funds to my savings account. Also, what's RSA?

Its best being liquidated especially when you have no other proof of funds(liquid funds).

I am worried too.

JustMellow:


This is very unusual, I hope to do more findings.

yacha77:
OK that's noted .. I think I can fire back without waiting for gcms note with all your help. Kindly respond to the email I sent through NL so we can communicate better bro. Thank you again and again Austacus and @ Qudkom. Another one is how can I reduce files and docs for online app.... Any advice on that based on your challenges during online application .

In as much as some applicants in the erstwhile has done so. It sage not to be hasten in your reapplication, be patient for the gcms notes as you might just end up finding a new raised concerns but you know the preference most suitable.

Good luck!

I should have used the word hint instead of secret (English done finish me).
It absolutely has nothing to do with bribery oooo

I guess I'll have to refill my questionnaire so that I can see the additional tab for attaching my upfront medicals. Thanks for sharing all of this information. Helps a lot!

I am so so happy for you. Like when you I got this news from you I actually shouted YES!!! and those around me were wondering what happened. I was grinning like I won something when I told them, I just heard one of the best news for this week.
I have always admired how much of a huge help you have been on this thread.
I am a living example of that, and there are others who have benefited from you on this thread.
Inspite of your anxiety and wait, you always took out time for others. You showed patience with others on the thread, even when they may have caused you to be angry.... LOL.
God bless you and I am happy for you.
Congratulations once again.

The intriguing merriness attached to a success story is like a reunion or make-up/over between two lovers, very tantalizing.

Please tell us the hint

Hello boss, after thinking about it I decided to wait for the gcms before application but I will handle things till then like paying part tuition and having the rest of the money in my acct, upfront medicals , arranging all docs and research. Thank you and I appreciate any other thoughts that comes to your mind.

Advise:

My wife applied for study visa via paper route, the course she applied for is not in line with her education background. but she has work experience in it. the day she went to drop her application. we forgot the work reference letter at home. [b]The main issue is questionnaire where you are asked whether you have educational or work experience for the course you are applying for and submit a reference letter in regards to work experience? she ticked No because she had no evidence to back her. My question is can she send an email to VAC requesting to add the work reference letter?

ATTENTION HOUSE GURUS

ADDITION: SHE ADDED HER WORK EXPERIENCE RELATING TO THE COURSE IN THE SOP.

Sorry but you can only submit additional documents only when CIC requests them. Besides, you already ticked "No" which can be a little confusing on the part of the VO. I wish you all the best but if she's applying for a program that doesn't correlate with her previous degree/program coupled with you ticking "No" for work experience then that could be an issue.
