Letter of motivation here is the same as SOP I wrote but it was very short(single page), my fault though. The course I'm going for is quite related to my bachelor's degree course though I made 2.2. I chose chemical engineering because I've always had interest in industrial production and drug production, uses, action and effects of drugs(pharmacology), I even had my industrial training in a producing company. The VO misunderstood a 3 months computer program I was doing as a job. Please can getting an US visiting visa help in tackling lack of travel history in my own case? This Canada process is just so stressful

short SOP is not an issue. ..mine was barely a page! its the content dat matters...

jdhills:
good guyz! my question would be succinct..... I just want to ask about the others things one can start doing after successfully applying for a graduate degree. Have heard about upfront medicals, but i dont no how to go about it. am open to all views.

just go to cic website and search for upfront medicals...there is a form you need to download and fill. you will also see the approved medical institutions on the website...you can call them and book an appointment, they will tell you the cost and requirements. in lagos,child care practice in ikoyi is the cheapest 28k, but IOM ikeja is the fastest and most expensive 40k...then you submit it with your application.

eastafro:
hey guys ,how are y'all coping up ?
so last week I was writing my SOP and a friend of mine a suggested we donate blood on the weekend and so we did.
only to find out I am HVB positive (hepatitis B ).
funny thing Is I pride myself in being we'll informed on stuff , yet I didn't know about hepatitis and stuff. hearing this kinda news in the midst of my study abroad preparation is both painful and motivating in a way .
my original plans were to apply to Canada ( I like Canada way more the the USA) but due to this unfortunate circumstance I have to apply to usa schools instead .
there is no medical test for f1 visa so I guess its a good thing .
I wonder if there are applicants with a medical cases but still got their TRV approved .
anyway I just wanted to let y'all know this and be a support to anybody who can relate.
peace!

dont think you should stop ur canada study permit application. ..Hepatitis B is treatable and easily treated if not sever...see a good doc get urself treated and continue with your application...dnt be scared of the Canadian medical examination, dnt develop high BP... check the website and see what test and examinations that will be done...not everybody dat gets a Canadian visa is healthy or free from disease...they are just particulate about some few which i think hepatitis B isnt included..goodluck

Hi fam, I want to appreciate everyone on this thread for their contributions. I've been to the first page but still think I should table my question. My sister will be sitting for her WAEC and JAMB exams next year and planning on applying to one of the universities in canada but we have no idea on how to go about the process and when to start. All seniors in the house, kindly assist in the steps and estimated cost if possible.

Good you are planning early,start now! firstly...go online and find a school with the course she wants to study..google will help, its very easy. the school website will direct u on how to apply.. once she has her o level result out she can apply and when admitted pay tuition fee...an average of 15k canadian dollar per semester (undergraduate)...depending on the course...then you can apply for a student visa which is the main work...then you can come for more info..because i am sure alot might have change before she is ready.

samwheel:
Guys pls, aw can I book an appointment online??

wat appointment?

adhel90:


Thank you Soo much...asides the SOP, is there anything else I need to do and also if I'm reapplying will I still be called for biometrics?

you wont be required to give another biometrics, go to the first page of this thread...there are pointers there...will send you a mail and attach the check list i used.

Deedyvn:


Okay. Thanks alot

you are welcome... see you at TRU..!!!

Gurus in the house, please i need your assistance. I posted on the thread earlier about my study permit denial and the reason was purpose. While reading through the thread, I learnt about Sop and LOE which I didn't include in my previous application. I have been able to defer my admission to february. So I want to reapply for the visa but I need advice on how to repackage well to avoid denial again... please help a sister

sorry for the little setback...You need to write a letter explaining alot of things ...like answering questions if you were having an interview....SOP/LOE . I got to understand it is a very important letter that will make whoever is processing you permit understand some not so obvious aspects of the documents u submited and also an avenue to connect your sponsor, course, education level, choice of school, reasons for a change in field, connect ur present job description to ur desire to study abroad...etc ,then make sure the school aspect of your application is well package, from tuition to ...then download the visa application check list for guidance...wish you the best.

Lagos2canna:

Reapply and pray ...........don't stress yourself on gathering documents.

prayer without work is failure guaranteed...please dont just say that to someone that just said he/she didnt include one of the most important document as we all know...this is missleading! people get visa without even praying or fasting, as Christians yes we should put God first but that doesnt mean we should keep doing thesame thing again wen we can do better...

MISFITrep:
by 'good money' you mean the $10,000 cad minimum yearly estimated living expenses? Won't the lump sum bother the V.O? Or what do you suggest pls?

dnt think so, as long as the source is genuine,known. and obvious to them. i made CAD50k available in my own account from my sponsor who is my bro...i made reference of it in my letter and my sponsor's letter also..you know all we can do it try guess how these VOs think..the truth is that we can never really know, from my own observations and personal experience i feel they know some of us just go about meeting people with good account balance to be our sponsors...but i feel it will convince them more if we show our sponsor's commitment and readiness to get involve financially by the sponsor putting some good some of cash in our account...they know its possible the money can be withdrawn soon after we get the visa...but that shows sponsor's trust, commitment and personal relationship which is far better than affidavit because what will affidavit do wen u are already there and u become a liability to them...then sponsor's monthly income (payslip) very necessary.

PS. On my first application which was paper route. I used my main sponsor (uncle) who's a citizen of Canada. When I got denied bcoz of family ties there, he then ask one of my uncle here in Nigeria to sponsor me this time. So this second application is another uncle. But all same surname and all.

Please advice. ��.

Labims:
Hi all! Please who has applied for co-op work permit along side study permit and what was their experience?

its is part of the questions on the questionnaire.. but i am sure u can apply when you are there..the school will give you some docs to assist you on that...i am doing same..i already contacted my school on it..

Hephzibah2018:


You will not need to collect an official work permit (hard copy like your study permit) to work 20hrs/week as a student. Just go to the nearest Service Canada Centre to you and ask to get your SIN number. Go with your international passport and Student permit. As a student with a SIN number, you're allowed to work only those number of hours. Please do not exceed working hours ever. I know better now. Except you mean a type of work permit separate from that which is associated with a study permit.

a work permit is needed for co-op... its not the normal work students do..

Just giving heads up on a very fast application approval...my cousin's application, submitted online application October 9th, biometrics 12th, passport request 19th...undergraduate though...and he wasnt sure because mine took about 3months.so its never too late to get a TRV...dnt compare your application with someone else's own, for those expecting an approval lateness is not denial, be positive and steadfast in your prayers!...wish you guys the best!

Jummy902:


Well, I did paper application and when I tracked it I did not see anything like medicals passed. I just saw my passport is ready for collection.

is it not linked to your online profile? . ..if it is then check your profile , view application status and check all the steps from biometrics to medicals...etc..wish u all the best

My good people weldone
Please which method of Application fee (TRU MBA) payment is most reliable. Urgent answer please.

bank transfer, Form A or pay with debit card

Josh1996:
Please can I apply for visa with a conditional acceptance letter

yes you can..but it is more convincing when you apply with an unconditional acceptance letter..unless u have tuition payment receipt..

Thekudi:
thank you so much I guess you don't have to write GMAT for the course I supposed? Pls here is my mail let chat better thekudi@yahoo.com

yeah GMAT is not needed and also not compulsory to write IELTS before you get admitted but it is mandatory to submit your IELTS score before resuming or write the school english placement exam upon arrival...

kemmyk:
Good afternoon here.....plss is urgent...i nid to knw something, i was just given admission into 2 colleges in canada for (winter academic section) which is in January.... And visa processing takes more than 3months so i here...now the schools gave me deadlines to pay my tuition fees( though am picking one school)..... The problem now is should i go ahead and make my payment or defer the admission.... And even if am to defer do i still need to pay the fees in order to secure the admission down

you need to be sure the school is a DLI go to cic website and search for DLI,because most schools dnt give deadline to pay fees and then be sure of the session u are defering to...to the best of my knowledge you can defer to d next session just once without paying tuition fees...u using an agent?

Thekudi:
hello am really new to nairaland would have pm you, pls what's the tuition like for the course you are about doing in Thompson rivers studied microbiology but my cgp is crappy, hence getting admission for masters is tough and I want to change career part to marketing or management have 3 years experience in freelance marketing

oh okay...got admitted into TRU post baccalaureate diploma for Buisness admin...3 semesters, initially it was CAD 6900 tuition fee (7600 all other starter fees included) but it was increased for winter session to CAD 9,115 because of an additional course...

TRU winter students... how far? please what's the cheapest flight ?

congrats @henricson ... !!!wishing you speedy recovery!

sorry about this...i think you should review ur application again, not necessarily because there was a mistake or like it wasnt well package but because its the first stage in re-doing any failed process. Then i dnt believe these Visa officers work on their own discretion there must be certain criteria for them to make a decision on applications though some might take theirs unnecessarily too serious,i feel like they do with the PR applications, they try to control the number of people they issue visa to, so alot of scrutiny will be done...and i noticed most of us here have entirely different application status(age,travel history,marital status..etc)...so we cant score or rate someone's application with another...so reapply with a renewed positive mindset, not the mindset of just one last application before u take them to court, thats like expecting another setback.. work with ur religious faith...i came to NL saw alot of new things i didn't put in my application... my sop was barely a page...graduated since 2011, didnt know of anything like family ties... my application was "not well packaged"..but got my visa.. wish u the best !

[qquote author=Dwebb55 post=71973521]Dear house, I finally received a response from CIC. However, I was delayed and will soon go about reapplying.

This application was my first and I believe it was well packaged as I am an avid reader of the thread and I also used a top immigration lawyer based in Canada and I have an unblemished travel history.

Submitted online on 1st of June. Biometrics was done on the 7th. I sent several CSE's and got a denial yesterday. I applied for a course in a trade as I recently started a business in that trade and needed further education to boost and improve my business. The trade isn't taught in the Universities which is why I had to apply to a college.

Deny was adduced to purpose of study but will be applying for my gcms shortly to get a specific reason. Contributions will be welcome to get this sorted.

Also thinking of a judicial review but yet to decide on if this will be a better option. Opinions are welcome and I look forward to being successful in a trade that I believe will enhance me personally and my society at large.[/quote]

congratulations!!.. more to come!

For those of you that have been asking who the Nairobi guys are? As the originator of the Term NAIROBI GUYS, let me quickly summarise who they are, these are the VOs in the Canadian Embassy in Kenya that attend to paper applications (I pray they do not move them to start attending to Online tho) and 90% of their decisions on Nigerian Applicants are always refusals. If you apply through paper route, be rest assured that ur application is going to visit them, except ur prayers re-direct ur application to ACCRA Embassy. (KENYA and ACCRA Attends to Paper application). I have taken the pain to explain who NAIROBY GUYS ARE, if anybody come here to ask who these people are again, ur flogging will be out of this world. Peace

Ignorant Report!!!...

No need taking things personal with someone's question here...to the extent of wondering wat he/she will do wen they get to canada, that's absurd!...people are different, some assimilated faster dan others, some always want direct confirmation, we understand and see things differently. "its better to ask a foolish question to know a thing than to be silent and fail "..because you have more knowledge abt something dnt give u the right to criticize a novice questions. ignore if you dnt want to answer since the question is beyound you! Wishing all the visa applicants a successful week!

Kaycee54321:



Please, what do you mean by raise eyeball? Do you mean during the interview or when I submit an application?

Regarding experience, I have partaken in several multi level marketing online schemes with awareness and advertising campaigns but I don't think that would count as I haven't physically worked in that capacity in any known establishment

Add it all ..!!! stop thinking of what wont count...start thinking of how to have a very good SOP.. its not a crime switching from one field to d other, dats why u are going for a pgd ..its only suspicious wen u cant say why u are switching and for what future benefits..

Kaycee54321:
Good day all. Please, I'll appreciate any useful information. I graduated with a GP of 3.48 on a 5point scale in Zoology and Environmental Biology. However, I intend changing my career path and I want to apply for a Post graduate diploma in any course that could lead me to get a Masters in marketing or advertising.

Please, what are the correct steps to take?

PS, I'll be done serving Nigeria by March next year and I'll like to have an actionable plan before then.

you can try...i did dsame course got admitted into TRU for a pgd course in business admin... also got my visa for winter...just have a very good settlement of purpose..try connecting ur goals as a marketer and future benefits/prospect to u and Nigeria since u dnt have working experience..

Naijaforeigner:


Congrats.
