Please what's the best bank to use in applying for FormA?

I used Stanbic IBTC in applying since August and till now no show.

A friend told me he saw someone in fidelity bank who applied last month and has his fees paid

In bank we have what dey called staff priority. The only best bet for your Form A to be done btw 1-2wks is when you have a relative by marriage or by blood who can follow up showing evidence of relative. Just like ours can't say for others.
If not I bet you we have a queue of August application pending.

From experience I na 1wk debited.

Hint!

Chibzzy789:
Can someone be disqualified from getting the Canadian study visa if the medical exam shows that he has Hepatitis B? Thanks

No. But let the consultant know when dey ask you during your assessment. Because if you don't tell them and they discover after ruining your test, it will be stated on your medical report. Either way

Frankielilbaby:
" It's not true" are nicer words than what you just uttered we are all learning from here I did say what I know I did not just conjure up information you should have just let me know I was wrong.

No mind am. As if he has checked all Canada's schools requirements.

Not all school accept neco even gce.

Ojb555666:
Say what you know, virtually all schools accept NECO.

I don't think you know that it's not all school accept neco even gce.

Gurus in the house, please help a brother before he gets lost. I got admission to centennial college for a diploma in financial services. I have a 2.1 degree in biochemistry with 13years of banking experience. I Am scared of making the initial deposit and applying for a study permit as a friend told me that the course is lower than my initial degree and could lead to suspicion by the VO.
Please help clarify my doubt biko.

Thank you.

Depends on the diploma you applied for.
If its post-secondary diploma its lower, but if it's advanced diploma you're good to go. Check the certificate type to confirm this.

Hello everyone,

Been a silent reader for some time, I submitted my application in June, medicals approved in July.
I applied for my GCMS notes in August and i got it back this morning, I noticed that under my POF only my statement of my cooperative account was noted my spouse account statement where we have the bulk of the money for this venture was not.
I had sent the said account statement as a web form and as an attachment via email to Nairobi when i noticed that the compressed one that was upload with my application was not clear.
I am at a cross roads on what to do next, should I still send via webform again? Please help.
Thanks

Pls? How many weeks is your application before you other for your GCMS? and how did you other for it?

Pls how did you order for your GCMS note and when did you order for it, howling does it take to get it?

WiZiggy:
congratulations to all recent ppr holders and my heart goes out to those denied, it is not the end... Brace up, re-strategize and refire, whatever will work for you just DO IT! wether Canada or UK, let there be a plan!


So my application has passed the 13 weeks normal processing time, I got my notes few weeks back and the VO pointed out that my proof of income was NOT PROVIDED, can Y'all imagine Me that included my business registration, MBS, savings account, transaction receipt from my clients etc.

Anyways, to address the issue, I re-uploaded all proof of my income again via webform and emails. I kept resending the mails and webform like every week.
It's been 2 weeks now and no response from IRCC as to whether they have received the documents or not.
Please what's the next step I should take? If I say I am not completely drained by the wait then I'm lying, I'm just rolling on 1% battery � life honestly. The anxiety has eaten deep inside of me and I pray it doesn't get worse �, please all I will appreciate any advice and steps to take. The stress is too much.

I sincerely appreciate all the information and personal experiences shared on this thread. It has indeed helped quite a lot of people including me I owe to this forum Alot as I have profited immensely from it.

I shall be sharing my experience and timeline for my which was successful. please ignore any typographical error as I was literally trembling while typing this. Enough has been said about the preamble and now to main Koko "lol"

as I said in my previous post 1 year no be beans, The journey to Canada started for me in September 2021. But I had no idea about the how to go about it. then a cousin of mine who's also in Canada introduced me to this very informative platform.


I took an IELTS examination in December 2021 and I passed excellently well then I started building up my account "I won't go into much details on building my account cause you don't know who is who on this platform" I was determined to building it for at least 6 months. during this time I applied for an admission at York university for an undergraduate program in software engineering.it literally took a whole month before I got any update from york. then came February 10, I got an admission but to my surprise i was offered an entirely different program to what I had proposed for and the tuition fee was also too much. I was weak but I still had time to regroup my self.

I applied for another admission in March, but this time to 3 different schools including centennial college, George brown college and Humber college. i was offered admission at centennial college then shortly after George brown updated me. I waited a little bit for humber admission but it didn't come on time. I decided i had to go ahead and apply for the study permit with the centennial college LOA on may 14th, 2022. note This is my first application.

It feels good to be here to share my ppr testimony guys.

I do sincerely appreciate all the information and personal experiences shared on this thread. It has indeed helped quite a lot of people among whom, I'm a prime and bonafide beneficiary. I couldn't have done less by not holding from the forum in which I have profited immensely.

I shall be sharing my experience and timeline for my 2 applications which herald this success I've just achieved today.

My epistle may be quite long but I shall endeavour to break it in such a way that it won't bore you.

First and foremost, I will like us to imbibe the culture of reading especially of something that is quite edifying like the info on this nairaland Canada study permit. It's a fountain and repository of knowledge. If you get yourself busy with it prior to your application, you may not need to ask questions or seek assistance from any gurus.

Enough said about the preamble and now, back to the basis.

I'm 41 years of age. The journey to Canada started for me in 2021; precisely, in October. But I have no idea about the know-how. I, therefore, typed the travelling to Canada on google and I landed in nairaland, precisely thread 18 thru 19. Believe me, I read the entire thread which I started from Oct till around November.

After reading the 2 threads; 18 and 19, I became very adept at the whole process both school admission and study permit application. Needless to say, I also read other info that's related to Canadian stuff that cut across immigration both temporary and permanent residency permits.

Having been armed with the acquired info, I applied for a mission at MUN for both Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA) and MBA but the GDBA admission came out with a speed of light in less than 2 weeks. I applied for admission in December and was offered admission the same December before the closed of the semester. I waited a little bit for the MBA admission but it didn't come on time. I have to go ahead and apply for the study permit with the GDBA LOA on March 1st, 2022. This is my first application

The refusal decision heartbroken me so much that I least expected it. I therefore hurriedly reach out to some guys who are on nairaland through their private emails. Out of the whole lots I contacted, Makano was the first to contact me and he gave me his bill which I don't mind paying thinking that the application will be done instantly and I will get approval. But that wasn't the case. Honestly, those a who got refusal and were able to announce it on the platform here were quite lucky as they got apt advice which was what they need to re-fire. In my case, the refusal overwhelmed me and I didn't. If I have done, the decision to engage the Makano wouldn't have arisen. By and large, he did a great job!

He did advise I should apply for the notes which he did on my behalf at a fee. I applied for the note on the 6th of May 2022 and it came out on the 2nd of June 2022.

There in the note, the visa officer misdirected himself, obviously and erroneously, under his reasoning for my purpose of visit that my purpose was of visit was unreasonable as I have current qualifications that's way higher than the intended course of study in Canada. And for my travel history, he said he my travel history or lack of it won't count in his assessment of my eligibility and for that reason he's refusing my application.

Come June 22nd 2022, I reapplied with the same set of docs. I only added LOE (3 pages). There in the LOE I explained the errors and misgivings of the VO with verifiable evidences which links pasted therein. I further got in touch with my faculty advisor about the development. He in turn got in touch on my behalf to the associate Deen of faculty to get a letter clarifying that the intended course of study is way higher than the current qualification I have and that I'm eminently qualify for the choice course of study.

I attached this additional documents to the same docs in my first application and I refire thru ircc portal (the new portal). The gckey portal locked me out due to network glitch otherwise it's the gckey I would have use again.

MercyHaastrup:
Hello, pls I am trying to submit my student visa application through GCkey but then my document sizes are larger than the maximum size per file (4mb). I tried compressing it but it's compressing it to only about 4%. I'd appreciate any assistance on the best way I can go about this.
Also, I was thinking if it is possible to send some through the portal and if there are other alternatives of sending documents maybe I could do that too.

Compressed each document first before margin, then compressed again after margin.

Hope this help.

Oluwapelumidada:
Congratulations to you, but some agent are wicked and careless. Please how can I know if my agent also submit my SOP with my application. When I checked my uploaded documents on the portal I did not see any document named SOP

I don't think you will see it, because most time its merged together with your other documents under clients documents section. You should ask your agent that's the best way to know, but kindly so that you can hear the truth.

Mybtake.

Chocs:
That’s right! While ‘other’ refers to money you have available for other things like flight, books etc

Here is a sample of how to fill it up.

I think the tuition fee should be what is on your LOA even if it's total of first year put it has stated. I think you shouldn't add the 2nd year. My take doe

Predator188:
It is not mandatory i applied to the university twice in first application only scratch card and waec result was attached...but since maximum number of defer was used i have to reapply again..
In second application only Waec id card was requested it may be due to other reasons

Ok. Thank you.

Please if am right, you said the admission officer ask for waec I'd card? After providing the certificate and stratch card.

Is waec I'd card mandatory for the admission?

Predator188:
Waec result and scratch card Email to admission though admissions requested waec Id card...
