scimitar:
Thank you very much.

They won't pay into my account - for good reason, cos one might just sit tight with the money

I will try to get the school's account details ASAP and see if they pay soon. The risk is that if they pay, a refund is virtually impossible with TSA. First though, I need to extend this admission offer to September 2017 to give myself float.

When they do pay, I will then try to use my mum and two older siblings as co-sponsors... Maybe if they can commit to giving me say 1m each, it will help (?) (combined with mine). They don't have huge accounts though, but will probably be deemed reliable due to their stable/respectable professions. Will they need to actually transfer the cash into my account, or will their 'promise' letters be enough?

*Btw, will the 3 of them be 'too many'?

@ Bold, very true! especially when a Nigerian is involved. Emergency business ideas will start dropping like it's hot! Lol

Anywhere, i agree with you. Good thing is that you are already having good ideas of tackling the issue which is commendable and a good step moving forward. A reliable sponsorship (main and co- sponsor) most times can be family members or closely related persons. This is not to say any other person cannot be reliable. Just that, a 3rd party sponsorship will have a lot to prove in terms of relationship to applicant, commitments, reasons to invest huge funds on applicant, etc. About them transferring the cash to your account, if they can do this,i'll say yes! You have direct access to your account anytime should there be need for funds and also you are the signatory.

I don't clearly understand what you mean by "promise letter", but if its like a co-sponsorship letter stating financial commitment to you in addition to the scholarship, awesome! especially coming from your family member(s).But make sure every claim(s) is supported with clear cut evidence and is convincing.

Lastly, 3 of them will make your co sponsorship and support more like a financial COMBAT team ready to fight any abnormality in your financial status!! LOL. I don't think it should be a problem as long as they can support you in addition to the scholarship as they will be claiming. Best regards

Just got final decision email from CIC
My TRV has been delayed due to insufficient funds to handle 1 year expenses in Canada
It is well in Jesus name
Getting ready to re-fire and re-apply

Sorry about this bro. I advise you look into the situation surrounding this carefully and reapply.Hopefully, It will turn out well in the next application.

moyin1010:
Hello house, am a new member. Submitted my application Nov 17 Paper route .please house will medical request be sent into my mail. Oga in the house.thanks

Yes. When they need you to complete a medical examination, they will send a mail to the email address you filled in your application form.

scimitar:
OK. Now I know why.
They simply do not trust my sponsor. Nigeria na wa o....
The Nigerian government agency/commission (now you know) "has not been deemed reliable as in the past he has failed to fulfill his obligations in full", so they ticked ONLY the two financials for me (fees without working, and upkeep...).

Well, what can I do in such a case? Perhaps wait till the commission pays the fees then reapply with supporting personal assets and SOA?

This one dey out of my hands o... I no get anyone with huge account.

Sorry about your delay. A good way to tackle this is to have them commit financially by paying your fees or transfer the finances for the said scholarship to your personal account where you can readily have funds when the need arise. Attach the proof of these in your re-application. And like you stated already, they probably are aware of the inconsistencies surrounding funding Nigerian students overseas from Govt related scholarships. If you can get a RELIABLE co sponsor with a well funded account you can add too to boost your chances.Depending on who the co sponsor will be, establish your relationship him/her and why the person what to support you even with a scholarship. Huge amount means nothing if you can't prove you have access to the funds in the account.

Mehn, I don't think i've seen the number of new comers and silent followers on this thread like i have seen today! Una weldone o. I hope at the end, we all get all the advise, solution and answers to all our questions about the study journey.

Truth is, when people do their personal research about their intended study purpose in Canada,its easier to get help along the process here cos must people will be impressed with the effort already made and will be ready to assist till the end. Meanwhile, to all the guyz taking time out to respond to people, i salute! It's amazing how people are kind enough to take people they barely or don't even know through different stages of the whole study in Canada process for free.The reward of these gesture is certainly not with any man.

Congrats to those who have already gotten their TRVs and to the hopefuls, It will end well! Let's keep doing all we need to do and hopefully, the good news will be more. Cheers to everyone!!

@Austinpee4 please am new on nairaland thanks for the great you and other nairalanders have been doing God will continue to enlarge ur coast.please I submitted my application 18 August up till this moment I have not been called for medical and no calls don't know if I can proceed for the medical before receiving their mail because am still hopeful.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I can relate with the unease u must be going through having to wait this long without a response from CIC. As regards proceeding for medicals, since you didn't do an upfront medical(medicals before u submit your application)you'll have to wait for an instruction to go for one from them. Do not proceed for medicals without being instructed to do so. This is because CIC will generate an IME (Immigration medical examination) code where your medical results will be located once your tests are completed. This can only be generated only when you do an upfront medicals or instructed to do so by CIC. I encourage you to still be hopeful and believe that everything will work in your favour and turn out well at the end. Best regards.

Hi Nairalanders. Happy New Month & Compliments of the season. I've been referred here by a friend who recently got her TRV. Great work everyone. My friend told me to read previous posts to see if I could get some answers to my qtns but unfortunately i have not gotten any. Please can anyone help me with this: I got an admission to study in a college in Canada & I have already applied for my study permit visa. The school resumes on d 9th of jan. I got this admission for sept but deferred to January becos of the long processing time. The issue I have now is I don't know if my TRV would be approved before the resumption date, I have not yet been called for medicals since I applied late in sept & we are already in December. Actually I'm scared because if my TRV is yet to be approved by next month & the embassy requests for a new offer letter with a new resumption date, I won't have any to send to them since I have already deferred and I was told I can only defer once. This is the only offer I have now. I know there's still a bit of time but if that happens, what can I do pls?

I would really appreciate feedbacks.

Bro/Sis.. I can understand how you feel but trust me, a lot of people here too are also in same situation. As it is right now, you can only hope that you get called for medicals and your TRV is approved just in time for you to begin studies in january .Nothing is impossible! Well, for the new offer letter, your hope and prayer now also should be that they don't request for a new one but should they request for another, I believe if you can convince your school enough that your application is at d edge of being approved if you get a new start date and showing them d request letter, they should find away around it. After all, these schools use international students to boost their profile and also make money off them. I will encourage you to only hope and see everything that will go right with your application while being positive about the outcome . There is no decision made by CIC that is not summountable or welcomed.
Time has a way to make us forget all we've been through. So still hold in there and hope for the best about your app and just maybe, You won't have to get a new offer letter. Best regards

kanadian:
HELLO HOUSE!!!! Can one apply for a canadian university
with combined NECO, i.e 2 NECO results?? PLEASE I
NEED AN URGENT RESPONSE

Hey bro, what you need to do is first identify the school and program you intend to study,check their requirements and possibly, ask the admisson office abt any enquiry. As at the time you'll be ask to upload/send your doc for review,they will determine your eligibilty for the program of your choice. Different schools have different requirements. I think you will be fine. Just start doing some useful research.

CannyZionist:
Thanks bro.. Funny enough I was the one who made the assertion about MEng TRV approval

Oh really? Wow! CIC answered you well! Lol.

CannyZionist:
To God be all the Glory.....Glory to Jesus and Honor to Mary.
I just got approval mail after having a short nap. To be sincere, I have been a little bit depressed due to the long wait and was almost giving up, but I summoned courage and sent an email to CIC yesterday. I got a reply that my app is in queue pending processing.
I am so so happy that I didn't trust Baba God for nothing, so I return all glory and praise to him.

App Timeline:
Submitted: 12 August 2016, paper route, MEng
Medical Call: 16 Sept 2016 (Did upfront, but still got a mail from CIC, so i went to the clinic to report my case and result was forwarded to them)
Medical passed: 26 Sept 2016
Waiting and Praying: 26 Sept to 22 Nov 2016(and suddenly had a nap after eating baked beans)
Approval Mail: 22 Nov 2016 (after waking from nap)

Let me celebrate small, will come back to share the docs I submitted.

I won't forget to recognize MichV, Metrecube, Nonyi1, Mikymiko(I sometimes pronounce your name as Mimiko of Ondo State) and other too numerous to mention. Thank you all...one love and God bless you all.

Congratulation bro. I remember someone mentioned few days ago that he hasn't seen MEng approval for winter 2017 yet.. Maybe you just opened the flood gate. Lol. Happy for you and everyone expecting their TRV, It will turn out well and in your favour.

pololiswang:

Dear House,

Please i got an admission for PGD in Toronto i applied for a study permit since 19th of July and as of today 18 Weeks after i still havent gotten a response. My application was really solid, My dad is the sponsor and his account was quite handsome at the time. i have 3 years work experience in Nigeria, we attached my Dads company docs and his landed properties on advice from the agency that helped me to accumulate the documents.

Any one around still awaiting permit of has gotten one after 18 weeks of applying as currently i am already losing abit of hope.

Thanks.

You should send a mail to accra.immigration@international.gc.ca or use the WEB FORM http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp#q2#q2 to find out the status of your application since it has passed the processing time stipulated.

tzipporah:
PLS HOUSE ONE VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION I HAVE TO ASK.

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING NOW AND MY PROBATION PERIOD IS TO ELAPSE NEXT YEAR APRIL, HOWEVER I ALSO NEED SOME TIME TO DO SOME PERSONAL SAVINGS FOR MY SELF.

HOWEVER, BY NEXT YEAR I WILL BE 27, I WOULD HOWEVER WANT TO GO FOR MY MASTERS 2018, BEING THAT I WOULD COMMENCE THE APPLICATION NEXT YEAR.

DO YOU THINK AT 28 IT COULD POSE A PROBLEM FOR ME TO ATTAIN A STUDY VISA?

THANKS.

Your age will pose no problem in your MASTER degree study permit application. Your only focus should be to present a good application when you are ready to apply. Reflect consistency in your previous degree and intended, show strong home ties and financial capabilities. You'll be good. All the best.

michV:
@bold ??. Meanwhile documents submitted by any applicant depends on the level attained by the applicant. you can expect someone going for undergraduate study to submit the same document with someone going for postgraduate.similarly,you can expect someone freshly out of school/nysc to submit the same documents with someone who has working experience or years of experience.documents submitted apply to each applicant's profile.
congrats...

Exactly. With the doc submitted,i'm guessing @Phizzle3605 is going for an undergraduate program. Even with the same level of study, it will still be about one's individual case and situation. your point is a good submission.

Lawad1:
Guys,

If you applied for your study permit without the temporary resident visa form and the application has been approved, does that mean I have to apply for another visitor visa? Please help I'm worried

At the time your study permit is approved, your temporary resident visa(TRV) will also be on your passport to enable you travel to canada before you can then get your study permit at the point of entry(airport). You don't need a separate application for the TRV. It will be stamped on your passport before it is returned to you if you used the paper application. A passport request will be communicated to you if it's online application so they can issue the TRV. You do not need the 'temporary resident visa form. In all, you can only apply for one visa at a time. Study or visit.

peridott:
hello guys,

my application was approved yesterday (14th of november)
I submitted on the 19th of october with upfront medicals via paper route. so it took 3 weekz for my trv to be issued.
miracles do happen, i just want everyone to believe and keep praying. Thanks folaroyal, mikymiko and the whole nairaland, you guys are doing a great job.

i submitted the family information form, study permit questionnaire and the online application form. i didnt know about the study permit form and document checklist. i was scared after discovering those mistakes.

Congratulation! Such favour!!

yemdogg:
Hello everyone , here's a quick one;

Has anyone on this thread ever gotten a trv with their sponsor's SOA of 4 months transaction history?

I understand that typically, a lot of people submit sponsor's SOA with 6 months transaction history. Although what is stated on CIC website is 4months SOA.

Pls anyone who's vast in this subject should shed more light on this.

Most applicants normally would use guidance and instructions from CIC website and the VISA office the intend to apply from and of which the nigeria office instructions stipulate a minimum of 6 months SOA. Paper route applicants will most likely adhere to this instructions but since on CIC website a 4 months SOA is required, I believe this can suffice mainly with the online route as possibly the application is reviewed in a different VISA office other than the one serving the applicant's region of residence. So which ever one applies to you,your choice of application and instructions should best guide you.

Nony1:
greetings !

trv approved.


praise the lord God Almighty......


I love you lord ...........


this is good

I will be back much later

Congratulations dear. I knew yours was going to be next in line. I'm happy for you.

chukky3566:
Good evening house,please I have been following this house for some time now,i applied for study visa to canada,i have been expecting my visa since last week,only for them to write me telling that I used an agent in filling my documents,and they have evidence of multiple entries from same agent and also in the questionnaire I declared not using an agent in the filling of my form .so righ now I have been given 15days starting from today to respond to them or else dey might deny my visa.pls house what should I do?

To also add to the questions Mikymiko asked, Did you actually use an agent and filled NO in the questionaire?

Nony1:
Congrats

You are sure next in line! I'm gladly awaiting your good news.

Eraytee:
What most of us here dont understand about acc statement is, its not the balance that really matters. if u have 20m as balance today and u submit ur app to cic today, cic cant get beyond the date on ur SOA. so invariably u can withdraw ur 20m a day after submission and no one wud know. what am trying to clarify is, your inflow and outflow is what matters, most times i see people denied on this thread, they av more than sufficient balance. am not surprised at all at d moniker who got approved with less than 1m balance, have seen and i know at least 3-4 applicants presently in canada with same scenario. 2 even happened to b this yr and they are both pgc applicants. all you need is put forward a convincing application and seek Gods grace. thats all. I wish all TRV hopefuls success in their applications.

You are absolutely correct. People keep making the assumptions that the closing balance is the main thing. In as much as I agree that it plays a significant role,it still will be dependent on your CASE. If you are a self sponsored applicant, your closing balance will be KEY while showing other means to sustain yourself throughout the duration of your program. The case is totally different for a sponsored applicant. Once your PURPOSE OF VISIT is Convincing, the next major thing is your finance. The reliability of your sponsorship and the consistency in income of sponsor is what plays out most times. If your sponsorship is questionable, they will scrutinise the availability of funds for you hence some cases where they call banks to verify account existence. This stuffs have been addressed severally on this thread. Please,let's look critically into our cases and make it a convincing one, let it reflect the sole purpose of your application, To STUDY! and I believe every other thing will fall in place with God's favour and grace.

Gymme:
More explicitly, if she's got a child already, he/she can be used as home tie.

True. You are right.

Klinsmart:
What if I can get an invitation from someone in Canada, a,strong invitation, will it aid my reapplication?

Absolutely.The person must give in his/her letter of invitation reasons for inviting you, show and state relationship to you, show financial status to caretare for you and all or any dependant(s). On your part, You must show strong home ties to compel your return at the end of your stay.(business,family,work, assets etc). Best regards.

Klinsmart:
Thanks a lot, although I don't have relatives in Canada, my purpose is to go on holiday and put to birth there, am already seven month pregnant, am a married woman who also supervise his husband business in Nigeria, am a graduate too. My family, parents and siblings are all in Nigeria and USA. my husband is not buying the idea of me putting to birth in the USA. He wants Canada.

Oh i see..Well, in as much as your other intention of your visit is to have your baby, the PRIMARY purpose must be established and in accordance to their existing rules and regulations. From the little i know, Most holiday and tourist visas r predominately issued during the SUMMER periods (June-aug) and understandably,you had applied during this period earlier in your previous application but i don't believe this can affect a genuine reason to go for holidays during other seasons as you intend to reapply soon. Another thing they probably will be considering is why is she still deciding to travel for holiday during the winter period when it's usually not so comfortable for foreigners why isn't she going to the US where she has family and sponsor, Could there be other underlying reasons behind her proposed trip'?(Even though you know the reason) but from this info http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/processing/birth.asp , It's either you make your intentions clear to them about you going to have your baby (as giving birth in Canada does not represent a violation of any terms or conditions which may be applied to a temporary resident) or present a good case to them why they have to issue you a visitor's visa. but your PRIMARY intention MUST be known. You still have a good chance to securing the visa once this is addressed.

Klinsmart:
My sponsor is my husband who is presently in Nigeria with me. The statement of acct is above 20m with his company letter of introduction. I need help to defend my purpose of travel and travel history.
Will he attach his american passport data page, his american statement of acct, and his company information in american. Pls any useful info can be of help to me. How can I write an LoE. Thanks
My email is klinsmart@gmail.com.

Document I submitted are
Statement of acct
Wedding pix
Letter of introduction
Pls advice on more things.

Sorry about your delay. I think the main issue here is 'What your intended visit to canada entails'. will you be visiting friends,family,conference and its likes and how sufficiently you have been able to show relevance of this visit to your present situation. What do you do? what home ties have you demonstrated in your application that will compel your return after your short visit? I believe the issue bothers largely on 'why and who you are visiting'. Travel history may not significantly be an issue as most times it is not a 'stand alone' reason but if you have traveled before and contravened the conditions of your stay, this could play out. As regards your sponsor and funds, you didn't mention insufficient funds as part of the reason for refusal, so my guess would be that they believe the funds are available for you. But you need to give more details about your intended visit and other details of yourself as well as your present situation so people here can help you adequately. Best regards.

Igbouwanile:
Please oh somebody help.. hope it isnt bad linking application twice but de two have de same application number and email address

Good you've resolved your previous issue. The same application number quoted from the previous account and the new one is your application serial number on the CIC database and assigned to that application. Even though you link your application over again with the same personal details and other details,it still will be same application number. Your study permit application has that identifier. I don't think there is anything to worry over.

Igbouwanile:
Please help me Austinepee, abmendozer, Mikymiko et al.. I cant find ''submitted application or profile'' after linking my paper application online.. this is all I see when I login to my account

This stage is just the authentication page of your account. Just follow the prompt, accepts all terms n conditions, answer your security questions and it will take you to your main profile page. That's where you will find the 'Submitted application or profile'. If it still doesn't proceed as directed, Logout or close the application and login much later but make sure you follow the prompts and read the instructions carefully. You'll see your application details as long as you SUCCESSFULLY linked it.

Igbouwanile:
Please somebody should help me, am finding it difficult locating ''submitted applications or profile'' after I linked my paper application online.. please I need to check my application status and any other update

Log into your account, follow d procedure, get into you r profile,at the tail end of you profile page, you'l find 'View my submitted applications or profile' and on that dashboard, you will find 'check status and messages' under 'Action'. That's where to click to see any update and view your application status. Use a laptop computer to get a wider view.
