May/June/July applicants who did not share their timeline yesterday should endeavour to do that today. This will enable us have a clear direction on how things are going on the CIC homefront. From the profiles shared yesterday it can be deduced that on the average, after 8 weeks people's profiles were changing and reading eligibility of review started and by 10 to 12 weeks medical call and 12 to 14 weeks, a verdict on the application was dished out.
Truly that seems to be the case.

Applied July 14th
Biometrics July 16th
Profile stucked at background check ever since.
I checked every 2-3days to lessen my tension.

Admission already deferred till Winter semester. I have till November 2nd to confirm my seat for Winter or I loose the admission.

God is Great Still

Guys please I need a response to this undecided
Well her securing a loan for your tuition fee or it's reflection on her statement wouldn't be a problem if she is got sufficient balance left in her account for her personal wellbeing + other siblings of yours "especially if they are dependants ". Remember you shall list every member of your family and their ages. And she will do the same in her support letter.

If not they might term you as not having sufficient funds to undergo study for the period in Canada. Another alternative is to make her your co-sponsor and make the other person your sponsor, then you find a way to explain the persons commitment, relationship, intent and motivation to pay your tuition in your LOE and affidavit of sponsor. Atleast the said person isn't coming from the moon there ought be an existing relationship that you can linkup. Even a best friend or new found friend could be your sponsor, as long as the person is got the money and "truly willing" and you can both write a convincing and compelling letters. Then your prayers can cap it all, nothing is impossible under Gods nod.

I'm sorry HOUSE for bringing what's out of context. Well I was just watching a 2018 flick Billionaire Boys Club and Joe the main character of the movie re-assured his dad that he is gonna take him out of this shithole. Cus of how they were living. Now I deduce what that means to an American... (simply somewhere that is not conducive atall or befitting enough of one's status and not like some (**dung-hole**) interpretation.

Guess Trump himself didn't mean it the way we see it. He was only referencing the GRAND SABOTAGE.

Bros you dey vex o! Please calm down and let everything pass.

Nigeria hard but please don’t call our fatherland shithole. I have spent barely two weeks and some days in Canada and I must tell you I’m missing home. Life’s good here and thousands times better than in Nigeria but no place can be like where you grew up.

The culture here is totally different from ours. You would be living in the same Condo and you won’t even greet one another when your path crosses. For example, in the walkway or when you in the elevator, you will either be looking each other like dondee or be pressing phone. Sometimes you greet them and they will be looking at you like mumu, and sometimes they respond with all smile. Even in 3 or more bedroom houses, you see only few that mix well. Most times it’s hi hi when you meet and when you in the house, you lock yourself in the room doing your thing.

The food too. You go chop rice tire. The best thing is to cook here. Not like naija wey you fit just enter one restaurant or buka and load fufu or Eba and spend less than 1k. Go to African restaurant here a the least plate you can get is for $15 (#4,350) and you won’t even be satisfied. And for your info, you pay tax for everything. SIM card wey dem dey sell 100 naira for naija, I bought for $40 (#11,600) here , which was the best deal and I was charged $6 (#1740) extra as tax. Even tax dey ontop bread. I buy wheat bread for $3.29 (#954) which is #250 in naija(more than x3). So the thing here is you have to change your lifestyle if you really wanna have savings. Wheat bread wey I dey finish once in naija, I dey chop am 3 times here grin. Beans of about 3 congos is $22 imagine! One thing, If you keep converting to naira, you won’t buy anything here lol. Got a jean jacket $70 wey I go see confirm akube for 1500 in naija.

Also, I learnt the weather during winter is mad. Even those that were born and bred here are afraid winter is coming! I remember during my orientation a lady at the information fair was asking me if I would like to study abroad. I told her I am already studying abroad because I am an International student. She laughed and said I can still study abroad, perhaps after I spend a winter here, I would like to study abroad...imagine! Lol

Congrats on your approval and I wish you the best in Canada!
Wa gbayii @Bodmillz! Thanks for the relief, atleast I wasn't looking fwd to the last line atall.

There ought be freedom of expression though and I don't know why a lot has taken Uyplus testimonial personal; different things frustrates us to different degrees. Would anyone believe I just got my student copy transcript from University of Ibadan since Oct last year. To me that school bleeped me up and I speak ill of my alma mata but it's an ironic descriptives that I don't really mean. I guess it's the same for him, I could sense his euphoria.

No passport no biometrics, don't waste your time.
Please don't discourage him when you are not sure. I was in the same situation sometimes in July, outtightly forgot my passport at my friend's place and I got to Lekki before remembering but I was allowed to do biometrics, although they asked me at every desk I got to for the original passport and I said same thing everytime. His reason is more genuine than mine. When asked simply say it's at another embassy for processing. And I also hope it was online submission that you did. In a nutshell I did my biometrics in less than 2hrs.

I paid acceptance fee of 1.5m to UBC.
After sending them mail,
Visa was denied.
Please who knows if I can get the money back.
Ohhh sorry about your delay. 5,000 CAD is a lot of money, try solicit for a refund by every means even if you have to write a letter to them that it's your 5 year savings just to pursue a masters degree. It's an emotional and sympathetic appeal, that way they can do a meeting on your behalf and refund you. Always remb that the pen is mightier than the sword, meaning what and how you write could bring you results than the use of force. UBC could be classed one of CANADIAN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS. Moreover if it was boldly written on their website, there might be nothing you can do. Even if you hire an attorney! They ve got attorneys too.

And always make enquiries before you make any move once you not in that proximity. Before initiating payment you could have asked if they make refunds. Before I deferred my admission to this fall, I asked my HOD and I was instructed to pay 100 CAD Confirmatory deposit for the admission then after a week I got my acceptance forms. I also inquired if I could pay part tuition and was specifically asked not to until I have secured my visa.

All the best, and my advise. Try some other schools instead of deferring for 700k, make claim that you don't even have that and you need the deposit tuition if you are sure you don't want to try again.

I beleive you should be able to get another UK visa in Nigeria having shown that you travelled and kept to the terms of your visa by departing when it lapsed. So if you don’t get your Canada visa by the stipulated date, just come back to Nigeria. You can appoint a representative to go to VFS UK and drop your passport and pick it up for you at any time (send it to them by courier). Just fill this form:
https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5476e.pdf

Praying Canada approves you, but if they don’t, apply for a UK visa and continue your academic career. You should have no trouble getting another visa.
THE LORD is your strength, you shall get your TRV. Also case is not as bad as you make it sound. I guess if possible you don't wanna touch down here in Naija atall. The U.K. ready to take your tuition anytime you re ready. Flight ticket back home could be the only thing at stake at due date.

Can you imagine one being scared of spending 24hrs more in the U.K. after a program you paid hard earned money for? Worst case scenario think Ireland ��. Their laws more lenient instead of ever going back

I submitted yesterday, though my final registration is by 17th of September. I have to come all the way from Lagos to Abuja to submit due to large crowd in Lagos. Like I was advised in this thread, Abuja is a walk in through.... Please, if I may ask again, is there any implication ? Thank you.
Anyone who wants to try should follow the advise of a Nairalander who submitted his application the same day he went to VFS without prior booking. We never know what can happen once you allowed into the building, just go early 5:30am as the person suggested. Instead of risking ones life and time to Abuja except you have another mission enroute Abuja. Was at VFS last week and I forgot my passport but they still allowed me to complete my biometrics, though I was asked at every point where my original passport was!!! The crowd there wasn't abnormal and I was number 71 got there around 9:30am. Spent like 1hr, 25mins.

Remember the early bird gets the worm, and the second mouse gets the cheese. If you being queried you can chip it in that your resumption time cannot beat the wait time

Okay, Thanks for the info. but how do you go about the letter of reference stuff?
I got 2 ref letters from 2 Profs at my University, while some programs requires 3 letters (2academic referees, 1 professional referee). It must be stamped and sealed, that way you can collect it yourself and courier with your supporting documents, they do accept proof of English proficiency/letter from your GES/GNS Dept at school. But your official transcript must be sent directly from the transcript unit at your school (whatever service being used) making it 2 separate courier to Canada.

If you need more info, inbox me

@sopho,

Only God can help you. My advice is that if you did this mistakenly. You may send an email or notify them but bear in mind that it may also complicate matters as the VO may think that you are trying to cover up by explaining.

If I were to lend my two cents, simply take it to God in prayers. God rules in the affairs of man.

goingforward.
There is nothing God cannot do, but intent is everything sometimes, they will definitely dig it out, so before it's been dug out better if she points it out herself than wait to be asked why she lied. Send an email (funnily it could be overlooked) for the record and go pray hard.

You will be penalized for misrepresentation. That was a costly mistake.
It's indeed a costly mistake because it is clear to see, even in US visa application, you find the same there, except the Canadian own is trickier. Think carefully about why you picked NO. And state the reason plus you filled this by yourself so you can't say an agent filled a wrong info cus that's what they are known to always do. (You didn't read carefully is your only alibi, you generalized that it was only to Canada until you later read after submission. God is your strength ) nothing else. And pls we should all avoid 'He say, She say' and other generalizations they are always 50% correct and you need a 100% that's why we here on a forum with first hand experience.

Why not inquire about this problem from the VFS guys for firsthand info, or ask those who are experienced. As discussed in previous threads... You can email them to:/cc: cic contacts in Nigeria telling how the mistake came by because you were expected to read carefully before ticking and also proofread before final submission. They might regard it as a flimsy excuse or a second-thought lie. But for the record email them and keep your sent message safely till a later time, hopefully you might have no need for it since your application processing starts after 1-3days after submission.

Bro... someone gave you an advise but you seem not to have taken it atall and I noticed. We all learning here though and we understand how ambiguous this whole process is. From my point of view what you have together isn't feasible to scale through so you don't waste your money. Firstly You in a common law relationship with 2kids and you want to take everyone to Canada at once. It's marriage that can only work for that. They should be your home ties. You are simply relocating as they put it. And your wife doesn't have the financial strength then how would it work except you earn like 1million per month minimum. You ddnt mention if it's masters or pgd sef, ohhh I remb it's college which doesn't carry enough weight as Univ

The advise someone gave you is the most logical one. Get to Canada first befr dreaming of relocating your family and if not probably for one of the kids you could get lucky.

Relocating family works for company owners based on those that I have seen not students who are likely to still seek funding one way or the other.... I'm only opinionated, I might be wrong though. Almost everyone has someone who is family and good to take along when it pans out well, but it's called extra or excess baggage.
