Good day gurus,
Please I want to ask a question
What are the documents I need to go for medicals?
And please do I need my international passport for it ?

Yes...with your ATM card of you haven't paid

Omorocky:
If I retrieve the passport back can I submit to Abuja VFS since Abuja is faster than Lagos in process, But I had my biometrics at Lagos VFS. Does it have any implication?

Go ahead.. it doesn't have any implication.

Realpaulpat:
Good day Guru's. Please I've got a question. What documents is my Sponsor expected to bring. Note he stays in USA.

Is your sponsor related to you?

If yes, substantial proof of relationship along with pictures, duly signed letter of support, evidence of employment and bank statements.

Chiziteremary:
Good morning all,

Pls i want to apply for my 11 year old daughter to join me and travel. Please what kind of visa will she be needing. I will appreciate responses pls

Either study or visiting.

kiari:
It is perfectly normal. That is what folks on NL do, they use DHL to send their passports to Abuja or Lagos VFS.

It is not normal.

How can you by-pass VAC that has your biometrics information and send it straight to the visa office.

The visa office will not attend to it without the biometrics details.

The applicant should have asked questions before sending his/her passport to the visa office.

SaniceSanice123:
Thank you. I appreciate

In addition, your application will not be processed under 20days for that NSE.

That NSE does not work anymore.

Tacogado:
Good day to my Gurus in the house please I applied for my visa through an agent but my application is far more than 3 months so I want to start sending mails and webform but the emails my agent use is not mine so can I proceed using my email to send mail to Nairobi don’t know if it’s safe for me to do that thanks

You can do one better

Why not apply for a gcms note to know whats delaying your application as long as you know your uci and application numbers.

SaniceSanice123:
Somebody should help. I have done my medicals but they said it will take 10 working days to come out, meanwhile I want to submit my application soonest and I’m using Nigeria student express (fast track). Please, if I submit my application now, without medicals, will it affect it?

The bolded doesnt work anymore. Your application will not be processed under 20days.
You can always submit your application and attach the medical slip given to you along with it.

Go ahead and submit, it doesnt affect your application in anyway.

Good day gurus in the house,

I need your guidance to take a decision on my intention to study in Canada. I obtained my B.SC in Computer Science in 2015 and i have been working till date. I am looking at a two different study options (Diploma and Masters Courses) and their visa success viability which is , kindly enlighten me on the following concerns:

1. College Course in IT (Sheridan College)- I will have to source for the tuition and there is no option of study loan for this.
2. Masters in Computer Engineering (University of Manitoba)- There is loan option to finance tuition and other expense but the assurance of getting a visa due to how to show convincing strong home ties since international study loan will be involved.
3. I don't have an immediate family member sponsor, i only have someone who bears different name from my surname who has properties and fund to do it.
4. If i want to be self sponsored how much do i need as proof of fund and what are the required documents to use. I am married with two kids.

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Regards.

My question is, what did you graduate with in your BSC. Your chance of getting an admission for masters is dependent on what you graduated with. Masters courses are very much expensive than PGDs therefore if you dont have the funds for a masters please look towards the PGD.

1) I dont think Sheridan has that option.

2) University of Manitoba offer student loans for international students?? Be sure o. I will recommend you visit Mpower financing if you are looking for student loans but if you get it, you must show your bank statement for living expense and also try paying part of your fees. Nobody here can 100% assure you a visa. What we do here is to give the best advice as it applies per person to increase their chances of visa approval. 100m bank balance does not mean visa is assured.

3) I dont believe this will fly. You are expected to show that your sponsor is related to you with sufficient evidence to back it up. I will advice you tell the person to fund your brother or sister with the amount you need and your sibling sends the money to you. Its easier to explain and proof of relation with sibling can be proven with ease.

4) If you are self-sponsored and going alone, you are expected to show you have money for your 1st year tuition and additional $10,000cad living expenses. if you are going with your family, you are expected to show bank balance covering yourself and additional $5000cad per accompanying dependant.

Omorocky:
I submitted my passport through Courier instead of submitting to Visa Application Centre Lekki they sent to Deputy high commission at Victoria Island Lagos. Please is this normal cuz I have not been updated since Last week.

Which address did you give to the courier service and what courier service did you use.

Litey8:
It’s 11 weeks after my Biometric (April 20), eligibility review hasn’t started yet.

I had to schedule a Medical appointment late last month and available date is in last week of July.

I’m to resume this fall. What’s your best advice for me?

Thanks

Do the medicals and wait.

Once it exceeded 12weeks, you can start disturbing them via mails

Kolajero:
Please, those that have gotten their visas should help answer this very important question.

Did you all submit NYSC certificate with your study permit application?

Thanks as I await your response.

Not a mandatory document.

RuggedArab:
So I got this information below sent to me by one of the schools I applied for admission in BC.

You may want to start gathering documents for your study permit application. We do not provide immigration document supports for new students, but I know Nigeria has a fast track study permit application process that’s not listed on the government website. It’s called NSE (Nigerian Student Express) and you may want to reach out to High Commission of Canada to Nigeria if you would like further information about the requirements. https://www.cicnews.com/2020/03/canada-introduces-program-to-fast-track-study-permit-processing-from-nigeria-0313846.html#gs.v0ty5

- Who have more information about this.
- It takes 20 calendar days to get approval for study permit if you meet all the requirements.
- There is a stream like this for some selected countries too for study permit

It doesnt work anymore.

Litey8:
Your response would be appreciated. �

I was wondering….

How does Upfront Medical facilitate one’s application?

I thought a decision could be made without upfront Medical. That is, A refusal without a request for it or a medical request when your application has been approved.

Do they prioritize applications that has upfront Medical?

Or the main reason for the upfront Medical is to reduce time constraints on the side of Applicants Incase there’s a request because of how difficult it is to secure an appointment.

PS: My Timeline States; You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.

If I don’t get any message or update after the said processing time.

Logically, I think I can still send emails to inquire about my application.

That’s just my thoughts anyways.

I hope you understand what I mean ?

You need to understand that a visa is not guaranteed for anybody even if you did upfront or not.

Doing an upfront medicals only helps to hasten the final decision process either negative or positive.

A positive decision can not be made on your application if you have not done your medicals hence why medicals are mandatory IF an approval will come.

If you choose to do upfront medicals is totally up to you.

if you application will be approved, you are usually sent a medical request but if its a denial, you will be denied even if you did upfront or not.

Daslimo:
please help guys... why is my PPR not coming forth?
I applied in Korea... should I be emailing the Korean embassy or the Nigerian embassy?

Your application is still processing... Try and check if your eligibility review has started.

Even if you applied from the US, visa approval is not guaranteed.

Try sending email to the bother offices and apply for your gcms note.

yankison:
Thanks ,but I would really like to know if has it been the tuition is 13000 like someone stated how much can they require of me as a tuition deposit on the average

13-19K

you are expected to show the tuition for a year and additional $10,000cad living expense.

Drey319:
Hello gurus in the house, greetings.

I was refused sp 2016 and ever since then I haven’t applied again.

I have admission now and gathered all the documents to fire back but I don’t know my UCI number, can’t find the biometric slip and I don’t have access to my previous email address

Please what can I do? Do I need to do a fresh biometric? If no, how do I get my biometric slip if ppr comes?.

Cc Lekiboboe
Frank & co

You can apply but the bad news is that you will pay the total $235cad visa and biometrics fee.

The good news is once you pay and submit, ircc will automatically update your visa portal with the biometrics details of your last biometrics which means you wont need to do biometrics and ircc wont send you an invite.

yankison:
Which school has the cheapest tuition and can I still be allowed for a graduate diploma with my second class upper ? .. I just want a school money won't be an issue to pay right from here priory to my visa and I have about 2m for that .

Thanks

There are no cheap schools. All colleges have almost the same tuition fee range

Amyuzo:
Good day All, i have been a silent reader in the group and appreciates all the contributions from everyone especially the gurus on achieving the Canadian dream.
I have Bsc in botany and msc in HSE from uk with 15years work experience in HSE . i wanted to apply for second masters but my GPA for my masters is low so I'm considering a graduate certificate in any college. I intend applying for project management or supply chain management in Uwinnipeg or conestoga college. please do i need to hide my MSc and apply only with my BSc . will it be a problem for the Vo if i get approved for admission. Also, which is a better course for me to apply for since i already have masters in my current field ( HSE).
This has been a burden for me and i really need your advise before i proceed with any application for fall 2023.
@frankrobbn1 help a sister

Please the bolded is not related to either Botany or HSE.

Do not mention you have a master in your application and getting an admission is not a guarantee for a visa approval.

You can go for Occupational health and safety.

kingspecialist:
Hello NL, please I need your advice. I applied for a study permit for 1 year program starting in fall 2022.

I submitted my study permit on May 24th using the Gc key/cic (old portal) without attaching my supporting documents.
Same day I received Biometrics request which I did on 30th May and updated

On June 2nd, I uploaded my supporting documents using the webform.

On June 13th, I got a mail. That application was refused.

Reasons
"Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

• You have significant family ties in Canada.

My questions:
1. Is it possible I was accessed without the supporting documents just the IME forms I submitted and proof of sponsorship?

2. proof of sponsorship is my uncle and had a balance of 10m. Is 10m not enough after paying 75% tuition accommodation not inclusive. Proof of sponsorship stated that accomodation will be paid on arrival.

3. I don't have any family member in Canada. Any idea why I got "You have significant family ties in Canada" ?

4. I have requested for GCMS and 30 day reply date, should be July 17 but is it not far to reapply since my program starts in September 1.?

5. When reapplying do I use the old portal or the new portal.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

1) Yes...How many times did you send the supporting docs. Most times, it is advised you send several times to ensure the docs get across.

2) You used an uncle who is regarded as a third party. You failed to demonstrate convincingly your relationship with the sponsor with explanations and evidence(both documented and pictorial), whatsapp chat too etc. That is why you were denied based on finance. Also the sponsor is meant to show true resolve to sponsor you by showing commitment either through issuing a cheque or transferring funds to you.

3) It is possible you failed to show more significant ties to your home country either work, family or assets.

5) Using either old or new doesnt mean the application will be processed faster or it will guarantee you with a positive outcome.

Hi friends,

I had two admissions to Georgian and Conestoga.
I went for the Georgian college.

Just today one of their agents emailed me that my admission
intake is full before they received my deposit.

That is postponed from January 2023 to May 2023.
I've already applied for the visa, and paid for biometrics, booked medicals.

Kindly advise me on what to do, please.

Thank you.

Get the admission letter for May 2023 and send across to IRCC

francis00:
We are currently in the UK,cos I'm doing my masters here already, I just want us to move to Canada from here if possible, reason I'm asking, moreso I don't wanna go for PhD, reason I want my spouse to take up d application instead of me, so do you think it's not wise going through undergraduate route ryt.

If your spouse has a bsc already, why another bsc.

I will advise if its PGD in a course related to what she does for a living

Teejaymagic:
Good Evening guys, pls what are the other documents required for Biometrics registration side the appointment letter and the biometrics instruction letter..Thanks in anticipation.

Your international passport
4copies of the data page

francis00:
Hi good afternoon guys, pls I want to make an enquiry, can someone who wants to go for an undergraduate course in Canada go with dependant (spouse) or is it strictly post graduate like UK. Thanks

If you are going for an undergraduate and you have a spouse, my question is, do you have a university certificate?

If yes, do not apply for an UNDERGRADUATE course, otherwise you will be denied based on purpose of visit.

yeleola:
My eligibility review commenced today after 5 months 10days. I am January 15 applicant. The waiting no easy ooooo.

Have you done medicals?

phrecy:
good evening everyone...pls am about to apply for visa for myself and my son...an agent asked me to pay 450k for my study visa application...pls is this something i can do all myself or i need the agent? and also what portal can i apply
from for the three of us and what important documents do i need to add for my visa processing. please i need a response
thanks

Good day,

You can do this yourself by taking your time to study the thread from the start or focus...

All relevant information you may need are here.

Blakmandk:
sir, how do I know if my eligibility has started?

on your portal, check the eligibility section. it is above medicals section.. wat does it say there.

Blakmandk:
Hi mr onyeka. I’m also a student of CNA and I’ve made part payment for my tuition. I’m waiting for my visa approval for now. It’s been 8weeks already. Do I have to keep waiting till the 13week?

Has your eligibility started?

ShowYoung:
1. His plan may work in the sense that what you think might be regarded as lump sums may not necessarily be if the pattern of such huge amount of money in credit and debit has been occuring for a long time. Also, account balance will show it in a way that irrespective of the lump sums, the account balance growth may not be outrageous— for example, it is natural for account balance to grow from 5 million to 8 million within 4 months if I claim I earn 800k monthly irrespective of hundreds of millions going in and out. On the other hand, it may call for questioning if the #5million account balance surges to 20million within 5 to 6 months.

2. This suggestion may also work but I can sense that the same question of lump sum will still occur as the VO would see the movements of different 10millions. Explanations to this will still be made. I think this option is harder to defend because the wife must show where the deed of gift is coming from: if the wife has had the 10million from accumulated savings, it is fine; but it will be a problem if a lump sum of the same 10 million shows in the wife's account.

3. I would go with item 1 if the conditions I narrated in my answer to item 1 are met.

Additionally, a credit of #10million may not be seen as a lump sum for an account that has been transfering and receiving different batches of 10million since 1 year ago; but may be seen as a lump sum for an account which has never transacted 8 million at once before.

They study pattern of credits and debits in relation to account balance. It all depends on the pattern.

This is my opinion though and may not be correct.

Thank you for this... i really appreciate

1) Regardless of the inflows and outflows, i still feel the lump sum is a red flag hence why to explain the source is an issue. However, i feel his idea makes sense if proper documentation(employment) is made available along with the service agreement.

2) Yes, you are right but i am of the opinion its not an issue as long as the funds came from one account to the other, both owned by him while the second transaction was from his wife-A GIFT DEED helps to prove source.

3) Same here..

Thanks alot Chief!

Ableman101:
Hello boss please do you know anyone or company very good that can help write my SOP.

You can reach out to me

Good day all...

I want to get you guys opinion on this for a friend...

My friend is a sales supervisor for a company and manages a particular state. Asides his job, he is in a private partnership with a client, in which the customers of this client pays in money (mostly in millions) into my friend's account at different occasions and from there takes his cut from that amount.

He wishes to use this account for his study permit application. He said he will include a service agreement with some of these customers to justify the lump sums. He asked me, i said yes it can work but in the other way round, the visa officer will feel my friend is using customers money to pursue his canada japa plans. So, i advised him since he has a salary account, why dont he transfer 10m from that account to the salary account and his wife transfers 10m from her account to the same salary account and attach a GIFT DEED.

My questions are
1) Is his plan of using the account that receives money from customer a good idea?
2) Is my suggestion as per the bolded okay?
3) If item 1 and 2 aint okay, what recommendation do you guys recommend he employs.

Thank you.
