Betochy:

I called graduate studies they said I should speak to department. I have been calling department for 2days straight, nobody picks (voicemail) starting from 3pm Nigeria time till 12am.
Pls who did you call in the computer sci dept that answered you

I called the community health science department because that's what I applied for. Call the program adminstrator and if possible, speak to your supervisor. When you were reccomended for admission, you recieved an email from the program administrator ( I suppose). His/her details will be in the signature of the email. You can also check the department website. Check the time in Halifax before calling. Avoid calling during lunchtime.
I am not sure if they are asking you to take a course but speak to them with alternatives that you already came up with. It will make their decision much easier. If they are placing conditions, they think you need it. You now have to explain why you don't need it or what you have put in place to meet the conditions. If it's a course, maybe you can suggest that you take it there at Dal.

Hope this helps.

I approached him that day and gave Me his SOA the next day) and my parent weren't financially buoyant at all.. I just used what I saw on Google and CIC website to apply o.
So when I started reading post here about the nairobi guys, home ties, third party sponsor...I was so damn scared , I lot hope already, I was just waiting for a refusal sef so I can reapply better and in peace, because the tension ehh no be here o.
A big thank you to @ Qudkom @ makano for your advice. @Dmerciful my personal VO ,i worried him as if he was the VO handling my application o..lol, he advised me to send another SOA (mine and my elder brother)via web form and mail to them even after getting biometric correspondence mail. thanks for your support and prayers only God can repay you.

As a fresh graduate, your stated documents looks okay. If you have some funds in your personal savings account, show it.

The address means nothing, a person can decide to purchase a property in any place of choice but to satisfy all curiosity, you can briefly hint at it on your SOP/LOE.

Good luck!


To the open house:

Uploading the supposed documents for one's application here for scrutinization is a very good idea but its not a guarantee for a successfully application/an approval. The VOs has the final decision to what the outcome of the submitted documents would make of the application decision.

Is this for graduate school?
Do you mind writing the IELTS test?
You can call/email about how the processing time for the visa is long and the official language in Nigeria is English. You can also state that you are willing to send samples of your writing, if needed. Try to speak on the phone with someone ( they can also judge your level of speaking and understanding this way as well). Although I wasn't asked for an English proficiency test, I am not sure if it has to do with the fact that I did my undergrad at an international branch of a Canadian University.

I guess I also have ask if you mind writing the IELTS.

Ooops, as regards my statement of account,i kust transfer the money there to my other account so i wpmt spend it, hope it wont sound fishy or suspicious if i transfer it back, I'm thinking it will look as if i transfered a lump of cash and this isnt good for presentation
The second thing here as regard my account is, i do get many inflow and outflow cos im into petty business, im i suppose to have this as a student who as never worked as stated in my Sop.
Thanks in advance for d response.

sillysassysally:
Maybe we could also include this in the TRV Update?

I think yes, so the VO that handled the application can easily be identified to if there is a spontaneous change, so every prospective/aspiring applicant can have a clue just like back-in-time were apps were shuffled between Nairobi/London/Lagos

congrats on your approval.

Everything boils down to how you sell your application with your words(SOP/LOE), relevant documents, reasonable thinking in line with IRCC provisions.

Globalization has evolved the world that modernized initiatives has become the new tool of sustenance that: even a high school/college student in the Western world can be a million dollar stockbroker, IT genius, inventor, developer, business/marketing strategist let alone in Nigeria were capitalism has a grip hold like flu on almost everybody.

Most undergraduate students in Nigeria owns small scale businesses etc which they use to sustain themselves and academics.

I think your answer is within this post, just carve it out. And as for the lump sum, just be honest in explaining it as a choice decision which you'd reconsidered to rather be in your most active or play outside a little away from the truth but be honest

Hello Please frank if the University that you applied tell you alternate program what will you do they send me a alternate program they said they can't offer me an admission is an alternate program they told me please I am confused

Please I need help on how to go about this. I want to cancel my online visa application that have been under review for 10 months. Please gurus this are urgent

Austacus can you help her?

Why do u wanna withdraw ur application after waiting for 10 months, Y did u just decide u wanna withdraw ur application on the 10th month.. Have u ever thought maybe this action u wanna take is actually to withdraw ur approval? According to my personal observation of the May/June/July applicants that applied and waited for over 8 months, 90% of their applications have been approvals... And this observation has been the one keeping me going. (My application will be 10 months next month) cos I know my application will be approved and I can not think of withdrawing my approval.. If ur Eligibility review is over 5 months and you have done ur medicals and passed, I will advice u have a little bit of patience.. We have seen on this part of someone that got his visa after 11 months and in the case of Abiodunne of part 13 that got his approval after 1 year 4 months or so.. I will advise you have a little bit of patience and do not withdraw ur approval or let anybody push u to take that action.. The best you can do is to disturb them with consistent mails until they reply you. Thats my little advise for you, but if u still insist of cancelling ur application, all well and good.. But as for me I will wait for my approval.. Good luck.

You Can also send emails to every person you can lay your hands on.
