Ekulu77:
Please I need your opinion on this,I already submitted my application with 90% of my first year fees paid .Then we paid the remaining balance but the receipt came out after I've submitted my application. I already did upfront medical and I want to raise webform to submit e-medical sheet. Is it advisable to submit the remaining receipt of my school fee despite the fact I used my uncle as sponsor.wont it raise suspicion on why the uncle is paying in deposit when he proves and say he his capable of sponsoring me
All in all, Do you think I should go ahead and submit my remaining 10% school fees receipt or I shouldn't so it won't raise any red flag
Please Kindly share your opinions to the guru's (@lekkiboe,justmellow,frankrobbn, and every other person
Thank you

Hello Ekulu77

Unlike Ireland where the officer is very interested in the origin-trace from where the fees were paid, Canada doesn't follow such visa processing rule.

Feel free to forward the receipt.

Best of Luck

This is my observation too.
I also observed that eligibility already started for those that submitted with NSE requirement.
Let me know if I am wrong please

I submitted April 26th with NSE request but my eligibility as not started yet.

Only upfront medical was updated.

Everything still stand still

Emmasonic4me:
I took the first dose of the vaccine today and the guy there said second dose comes after 8-12 weeks of taking the first dose.

I tried to argue that its 6 weeks but you know that Nigerian thing of "Do you want to teach me my job?" started and I had to end it there.

I know I can take the second dose elsewhere so long as I have my card.

please, just exercise patience so you won't just kill your self.

Anyone know where second stream (first dose) are being administered in Lagos Island/VI/Ikoyi axis? My spouse has checked at Sura and Onikan PHC but they said in two weeks time. I suspect something is off. One will get there in two weeks and they will say it has finished again. Any confirmation of where first dose vacinnation in ongoing in this area or even mainland?

I can confirm that the main vaccination hub in Lagos is currently vaccinating for first and second dose. The place is very close to the military hospital at yaba.

NEROSKY:
Sorry for asking about this here, dunno if it's somewhere around, but since covid, alot has changed

I want to apply for postgraduate certificate, i have a registered business, but the thing here is my U.S friend want to sponsor my education,i don't know the possibility; like fund the full tuition and all expenses. he's not a relative,a Caucasian who has been good to me and willing to support in anyway. Also, how many months maximum for the process of getting student visa?

Since he has promised to sponsor you that means he trusts you, you never can tell where the opportunity will land you if used well, I won't discourage you about how difficult it is to convince the vo about your relationship with this your friend since it will be as hard as it is for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, that being said my advice is this
Begin your admission process carry him along and let him be involved including him paying the application fees to the institution you're applying to, by himself.
Once you secure an admission. Explain to him the difficulty of how it is to convince the vo. Have him pay your first year tuition fees or possibly all if he's that rich and generous, also have him transfer some funds into your account . If u act well you can start building your account with him pending the time you will apply for study permit, also tidy your home ties and level of establishment in Nigeria, and leave the rest for God. It's better to try than do nothing

Three days interval

Mummy4life1:
Three days interval

is it qlife or iom?

Doree:


Hello Just mellow, I'd like to ask a question on this, please.

If I understand you correctly, does it mean if I can run a six months program upon completion of my one-year program, the combination of both can qualify me for a 3yrs pgwp?

Hello Doree,

A one-year and six months is often equated to be two years of study. A one-year program in Canada is eight months at length. In other to give international students time to prepare and depart Canada after studies, it was stretched to one year.

Meaning a one-year and eight (or six) months program will likely make a graduate international student get three years PGWP. The discretion of the officer also counts here by assessing some factors.

However, a six months study may not necessarily amount to a one-year PGWP but six months.

Let me know if you still have any concerns.

Thank you. My BSc is different from my current job role but and I want to apply for Graduate Certificate in this my current job role because I can’t even do MSc in something related to this my current job role because of my BSc background And I don’t know if applying cut a Graduate Certificate related to my job role is cool.

Hello Websta,

It makes sense to go for your experience domain. Ensure to include payslips or cash salary certificate to support other employment documents.

Demonstrate how the employment is lucrative and the level of its employability.

Best of Luck

ok. thanks for ur response. but this information will be requested from me and not from my company

Hello Enjay316,

The officer can boycott you without explanation during employment verification.

Legacyedition:





Don't be angry please, I am not saying this to make you sad, just for you to take actions.


Active review nowadays is a generic response, I have been getting active review response since April, I have ordered 2 gcms notes with blank eligibility review in May and this June. I kept on sending webforms pointing to the fact I found on my gcms notes. Eligibility just truly started a week ago for March 19 application. You can check your gcms note if there's something on your eligibility, then you are good to go.

Awwww....am not angry/sad at all.

Funny enough, I just got this email response from the Lagos office this afternoon:


“Good day,

 

In response to your email enquiry below, kindly note that this application is still under active review by our office. At the moment, we are not in a position to give a clear indication of when we anticipate finalizing this application.

However, we wish to inform you that our office is doing the necessary to ensure that this application is processed and finalised within the shortest timeframe possible.

 

We respectfully request that you refrain from writing further emails until we contact you. We will not be responding to future emails received within this timeframe.

 

We appreciate your cooperation, patience, and understanding.”

They are referring to the email enquiry I sent on June 7th, which Nairobi office has already responded to with the same GENERIC answer.
Nairobi or Lagos, which is it

Though my eligibility has not yet started, I may order for my GCMS notes as you suggested.

Really appreciate the heads up.

wole24:

Thanks so much for your response. Please I don't understand the meaning of authorized liquidation documents or redemption certificate in this context. Plsssss can u explain? Thanks a lot.

Hello Wole24,

Evidence or proof from the cooperative savings body to demonstrate the origin of the funds after moving from the cooperative savings account to the receiving bank account.

Let me know if it's still not clear.

Best of Luck

Thanks for the feedback.

Got me ROFL with the “Do you want to teach me my job?” part. I had similar experience but from the police.

Hopefully, you will get the second shot in 6 weeks time.

Are you self sponsored or hubby sponsored you

Queenmama03:
Omo my story long oo! But i'll just go straight to the point.

First time applicant, self sponsored although I finished with a first class in economics, I have a 10yr study gap so I wasn't sure how that played out. Going for Masters in Economics at UNB. I'm employed and also have a side business I registered last year. Previous travel to US and Turkey. I wrote GRE, applied and got admission myself but when it came to visa application my liver failed me. That was where Frank (God bless his soul) came to my rescue. Timeline:

Applied 22nd Apr
Vfs biometric 26th Apr
Eligibility & background check started 4th May (may have been earlier but after applying I didn't check the portal until this date)
Upfront Medical done 4th May
Medical E-Slip uploaded 6th May
Biometrics Updated 6th May (I had to email them a reminder)
Medical Passed 7th May
Ghost update 4th June
Sent renewed passport & unconditional acceptance letter via webform 8th June
Agreement prayer with husband when I noticed April applicants getting their decisions 16th June
Ghost update 16th June
BVL & PPR 21st June

Regarding ghost updates, I may have had more but I only check my portal once or max twice a week on average so I can't really say. Also I didn't pay school fees o, not even deposit. The Ijebu in me didn't let me part with my money before visa approval also my school didn't make it compulsory.

Document submitted
Transcripts
SOP
GRE
IELTS
MBS & regular account statement (First bank doesn't have MBS so I just submitted the regular statement and included introduction letter from the bank)
WAEC Certificate
Degree certificate
Employment letter
Introduction letter from employer
Study leave approval letter
Consent letter from my husband
We both indicated that my mum will be taking care of my kids in my absence
Husband's employment letter and work related documents
ID's of my parents and siblings

Hmm the waiting wasn't funny o especially when I see the type of document people submit here, at some point I felt I may not have submitted enough. I just told myself "las las if dem deny my application i'll just focus on my business''. But alas! God did it. Also special thanks to @Lekiboboe his posts really guided me when I was searching for graduate programs.

To all those still waiting, I wish you the very best, God willing it will end the praise.

signing out.

PS: If you dey go New Brunswick please hit me up make we reason one or two.

Draybaba0103:
Hello house, please I need your guidance on the choice of course and best school.
I have HND in Computer Science (2010) and I have had almost 10 years of experience in the department of ICT in a paramilitary setting.
Please which PGD/PGC course will best suit me and a recommended school to look out for.
Having spent 10 years, I'm qualified to further my studies. Please what are documents that I will need to submit if I seek sponsorship from the board of the paramilitary I work with?

CC @Lekkiboboe, @Justmellow, @Frankrobbn, and other gurus.

Hello Draybaba0103,

You can check out some courses like Network and IT Security, Cyber Security, Data Science & Analytics, etc.

You can as well check:

• Fanshawe College's Software and Information Systems

• Conestoga College's Information Technolgy Network Security

• Cambrian College's Cloud Computing

• Humber College Information Technology Solutions

If your employer is not willing to show commitment, opt for a regular sponsor. The documents required for organization sponsorship are the same as self-employed sponsors. Use the search bar, you will get a handful of document lists.

Best of Luck

CrownTdan:
Good day Gurus in the house.

Please can I book a one-way ticket from Lagos to Toronto?
CC @Lekkiboboe, @Justmellow, @Frankrobbn and co.

Hello CrownTdan,

A one-way ticket will do.

Cheers!

TennieYF:
Hello everyone, is there anyone that applied after May 13 and got NSE request. From my observation, they've not sent any NSE request after May 13. Or am I wrong?

Hello TennieYF,

Your observation is spot on.

Cheers!

Long Post Alert:

Talk about being happy, today is one of the happiest days of my past one year.

A year and six days after my first visa application (AOR June 16, 2020), I finally got PPR on my second application (AOR: Feb 26).

This has been a very tiresome journey. Initially, I thought that applying for PhD admission would be the most challenging part of it all, but I never knew that that was the easiest part really. Between Feb and March 2020, I got admission and funding offers from U of Manitoba, Western, and USask. Opted for USask. Submitted my first visa application on June 16, 2020, when I knew almost nothing about the Canadian visa application process.

Hello Uzomachukwuu,

I celebrate your success. You are the real MVP.

Prosper!

Hello how are you? How did it go? Did you hear back from IRCC?

Hi all,

Please I'd like to know if 4months SOA will suffice for my student permit application?

Hello Greenguy,

It will, but best to use one year. Six months is better.

Best of Luck

I applied 15th of May and Biometric done 26th May. I’m just nervous if I can meet up fall session or it’s too late.

Anyone in same situation with me or have encouraging answers?

If you applied in May, have you gotten any response yet?

I'm sponsoring myself.
