Hi Chief,

I don't know the difference, I think you should await a response from those who used the New portal to apply for their Study Visa Application. Am only familiar with the interface of the old portal

Regards
Ok maybe I should have used interface but how about the links ? The same. Anyone ?

Hello gurus in the house. Please I have a few questions.
First if I am using a sponsor to apply for a visa and the sponsor has a company but he wants to sponsor personally. Does he still need to add his company account statement or just his personal account statement is enough and does he need to make them know he has a company.
Secondly if the applicant has transactions that looks like a lump sum. Let’s say 1m different times deposited but the funds are no longer available in the account does the account still need to explain and talk about the funds even when it’s no longer in the account.
Please experts help me attend to this. I beg

Ehh an agent can help you arrange your documents and submit but then nobody loves your application more than you. You’re probably paying them for what you can do but some are worth it though
Ok maybe I’ll do it myself and always come here to ask questions. At least people will understand I’m a novice lol.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Ableman101: 8:24am On Jun 10, 2022
Chocs:
If you submit your application online (which is the recommended route) you’ll get a message 24-48 hours after the submission to go get your biometrics done. You’ll then have to book a date for giving your biometrics online (all instructions will be provided).

Biometrics and medical exam venues are different! They are two different processes.

You can choose to do an upfront medical or submit your application and wait for them to ask you to go do the medicals. But there are registered venues (panel physicians) where you go to for medicals.

You have to go do the biometrics and medicals yourself. You can choose to book your biometrics and medicals same day if you want and if the dates are available (I recommend doing them on different dates)


After the biometrics, they’ll upload your info to your portal. After the medicals they give you a paper which you upload to your portal if you’re doing upfront medicals.

Cheers
Ok great. I appreciate your response and can I do upfront biometrics as well or must I be told to go do it first. How and where do I do it. Does it have a site like the medicals etc.
Also please can I email you directly.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Ableman101: 8:19am On Jun 10, 2022
Filanodivine:
Someone can’t do any of them for you but you. You can book upfront and get to do your biometrics the same day too if you just submitted cus biometrics letter comes up next day after submitting your application but then available date is another thing. Well you can book an upfront medical and get to submit your application a week before the date maybe you’ll be lucky to do biometrics the same day
I actually meant the whole visa process since it’s just like I’m a real novice lol

Panel Clinics are clinics authorised by IRCC to carry out medical examination.

I cannot say it's too late to target September intake because I have seen people who got visa decisions in less than 1 month: you could be one of them. My advice is apply as soon as possible. You can still make it; but if at all you are not able to make it, your visa application will still be ongoing while you defer your admission to the next intake which is January. Whichever way it results to, it's a win-win.
Hi sir. Please for someone staying in ilorin and processing visa. How many times at most would he be required to travel to Lagos during the visa process. Just planning the rough estimate ahead. Thank you

Book a date close to the time you intend to submit your application. At times, getting a date might take a month, hence, it's wise to book in advance if you care to submit it with your application.

For example, If I know I would submit my application on July 5 and I wished to submit my upfront medical examination with my visa application, I would fix an appointment around June 29. Panel Clinics do send medical exam result to IRCC within 3-10 working days.

You don't also want to do medical exam upfront without getting to use it on time because it is valid for just a year.
Ok thank you sir. First what does a panel clinic mean and secondly is it possible for someone who planned on a September intake program and who will just be starting processing next month. Can one still make it with the intake timing and all these medical stuff.
