bashtee: @ dipo
I have thought along this line too and i'm looking if i can secure another admission in one of the canadian colleges where i won't have to pay up to the CAD13k humber requires. George brown for ex has a similar course but my CAD application was with my Humber offer. If i get the trv before i pay humber's fees, can i go to a different sch? Or must one go to the sch he applied for try with?

You cant change like that, you will have to resume at humber college,after 6 month that is when you will be able to change school,am not even clear about that you will have to get that info from the school about the change. What course are you going for

I have a bit of the same issue but I wanna go to Humber and I already have the admission. I am not certain the 6month suggestion is correct. Please check the withdrawal policy of Humber as regards refund of fees if you need to pay before your trv. I checked and it appears refund is dependent on visa denial only. For other schools, a charge of CAD1400 is what they take for you withdrawing. Also, the withdrawal notice must be done in writing within a week of resumption date.

Beehandz: Thank you NLs for the encyclopaedia of info pple have shared so far shared on this Canada Visa. You guys are the best

I have admission to Vancouver Island University, BC (GIS Postgrad). Maple Education for my Visa processing. My documents were submitted to CDHC 2weeks ago. So far, I’ve read on this thread pple that got their medical call up in 3weeks and
I’m hoping I will fall into same category by next week.

I have like 10M in my sponsor’s acc which is my sis’s personal coy’s acc and few shares+ 1 landed property estimated @ 25M.

Here are my questions;
I wana believe the 10M+ other little cash is enof for my funding to avoid issues frm CDHC
How soon should I be expecting a reply from the CDHC.

@Lamide11 & Allexy2- I read ur post on the 1st thread of Canada that was closed last year December that you’re in VIU. I will like u to update me on the securing accommodation (peer stay-off campus), and securing job on/off campus and life generally in Nanaimo. Kindly send me a blank mail (Isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk)

@johhnnie- also read on same Canada thread with lamide11 that you r in Vancouver and you have a degree in GIS which is my the course I’m goin for in VIU. I will like u to contact you so you can give me more info about GIS (Isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk)

@bamshy- I read your post on using Maple but you didn’t complete it if you later got the Visa or Not and how fast did CDHC responded to you.kindly inbox me so I can further ask some questions.

@Maple applicants here, kindly inbox me on (Isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk) so we can rub minds

@all visa applicants-With God on our sides, CDHC have no option dan to grant our heart desires

Hi, I didn't use Maple because they seem to only have room and attention for the 'rich'. My medical letter was dated 15days after submission of my application. Just did my medicals this week. Regards

dipo+:


I have done my medicals already. Did it last tuesday at The Children consult, Ikoyi. They didn't say anything about 'appointment', i think i recommend them cos i completed the medical on the same day i went there. (I called their number beforehand tho)

Same here! And they don't get mad if you open the envelope. Infact, they tell you to and ask you to make five copies.

bumdish:

@ My people, I acted on this advice and I can confirm to you that I have my Medical Instruction with me right now. I submitted less than a month. So please act fast. I would give a comprehensive timeline of events and docs I submitted soon.

I have an urgent question though. Am I supposed to open the small sealed brown envelop that came with the medical form or I am supposed to deliver the envelop sealed to the clinic? Please respond Sirs&Mas

You can if you want. It's no biggie. It's a medical evaluation form that has your passport photograph attached and stamped. Depending on your choice of clinic, you will be required to make 5 copies of your international passport data page, the medical evaluation form in the envelope and the medical instruction form itself. In addition, you will need to bring along 5 passport photographs and 28k. You will do blood/Urine test for HIV, STDs and STIs and other ailments. In addition you will have your xray done and a doctor to ask you questions about your sight and general health.

ceej24: I doubt if most of these are applicable to nigerian gals

You must be new in the country....lol

Cul~G:
Are these things rily annoying

They are also irritating and shows no maturity. Women better know, men want more than sex. We only make do with sex when it's all you have to offer. Unfortunately, that's not enough to get the ring most times

shavel:
how much was in ur account before printing the statement?,,,,,,,, ȋ̝̊̅§ 7m good enuf for an account to sponsor an undergraduate student?

I am applying to study for postgraduate. But I think with undergraduate, what you want to prove is sufficient funds or access to it. So, you would like to show an account that has reasonable funds and whose source of funds would be constant and convincing to ensure you have access to the funds you need whenever you need them.

Toluth: Hello Nairalanders, pls how can I register for the internet based test GRE in Nigeria.. I dont want to use any agency as the difference between these agencies and ets feeis so huge.. So pls guys how can I do it myself?

bumdish:

This is interesting. How were you reached. Mail, the portal or you called them?

Mail. 5 days after the date on my letters but couldn't access my mail until 10 days after. The portal was also updated.

Noswaa:

do u sponsor yourself or your parent,my cousin is also my employer and he is the one to sponsor me but i dont know what i can use to back it up

Self.

Noswaa:


@bamshy,do you use employer as your sponsor

No Noswaa. I did not. But, I claimed I am still in employment and submitted same letter when i submitted my application. But, I guess they wanna confirm if I am still truly in employment and have asked again that i re-submit same letter.

I've got an advice for everyone with pending application with CDHC. Once you have completed your application forms and added complementing documents please try to submit at the VAC (Visa Application Centre). I support submission at the VAC because of the all-week access and ability to get information more readily. For those who have submitted more than 3 weeks, I suggest you make calls and also track your application. I submitted on March 20 and my Medical instruction was dated April 5. Yea, that fast! Unfortunately, I got to know 20 days after! In addition, I was given some conditions to fulfill by CDHC which i needed to meet before 30days! Hence, my advice. Submit at VAC for easy correspondence and start following up once your application is more than 2 weeks old. For medicals, remember you'll need about 5 passport photographs and like 28,000 naira. So, be prepared. Wish us all the best! My additional info was payment of all tuition upfront and letter from employer for PgD. Hope it helps.

In all our plans, I believe the most important thing is to acknowledge God and believe He will certainly do what's best for us. We should all pray to God and be hopeful that our requests and supplication with be in consonance with His will and as such give us the expected end. God is the Almighty and Supreme Ruler, the earth is His and the fullness thereof. There is nothing too difficult for him even when it concerns the affairs of men. May God mercifully grant our requests and we will not forget to give all glory to Him. Amen!

earthgreeners: @Fhemmy and Obamacare,

I think its good I prepare earlier to avoid errors

Spend time to read through the thread. 99% chance your questions have been answered before. All the best

lillaowow: All i said is that we should connect on Yahoo and i've been getting numerous email from "Admirers"
Guys, pls be careful, d email you use on NL should be totally different from the one you uses to send official documents

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE

Fhemmmy:

I laff in Agege Language . . . I guess i have been spending too much time on this thread . . . Time for me to move on to some other threads . . . . Peace

IF YOU DON'T COME BACK, I WILL CALL YOU UNCLE FHEMMMY!!!

2iic:

I suspect you need an agent because you need an experienced guide not necessarily the services of someone who calls himself an agent. Also, due to the time constraint in application procedures in Canada, you don't wanna risk "joking" with your first and possibly only chance this year. So, I guess i understand because i felt like that and got an agent. The truth however is, the agent at his/her best would only emphasise what is on the Canadian immigration site and advise you to add relevant documents to your application. This done between $400 and $3,000 depending on whom you hire. While the other side is being duped or engaging a quack which will only establish your fears.

The interesting part is AN AGENT QUACK OR ADEPT DOESN'T GUARANTEE STUDY PERMIT/VISAS!

Fhemmmy:


Cos let us assume i work with you and secure a place for you, how do i know you will like it, or will even act good while there.[/color]

If you don't mind, we will re-visit this if God wills. I'll act good while there. That you can be sure of.

SimonAndal:

This shouldn't be rocket science. Ask your bank plus one or other two for options. You are certainly not the first or only one who would require this service. Your bank must have dealt with it in times past. Try GTBank.

Fhemmmy:

Why are you having difficulty chosing one . . . and what made one offer "not so good"

Got the better offer after I applied using the not-so-good. One had better student review than the other. In addition, the course content of the one with the better student review is 'loaded', specialised and contemporary. And by the way, I have chosen the better one. It's just that my application was submitted with the not-so-good offer(hindsight). My choice is in Toronto by the way

SimonAndal: How do you take your money to CA? Specifically, how do you open an a/c from Nigeria? How do you transfer your money from a Nigerian Bank (eg. GTB)?

You can do this easily with Guaranty Trust Bank Plc internet banking platform. All you need is your token and funded dollar domiciliary account and you are good to go! You wanna run things when you are not in Nigeria. GTBank is poised to make it possible. Terms and conditions apply

Mavor: Ok, need to know what the minimum cost of living amount canadian embassy requires apart from tuition

Rule of thumb is CAD10,000

Fhemmmy:


I beg, let us drop the uncle oh . . . I am simply Fhemmmy . . .

If you have gotten any better offer and you wanna decide to go to the other school, that would be your own stuff to worry about when you are already in the country, i would not do that at the boarder or point of entry.
You will need to show them documents from the embassy and no need to show them all the document that you used in applying for the visa, if you are not qualified, they embassy would not have granted you a visa.

But it wont hurt if you have them on you . . . .

But just a question for you, why would you wanna change school, after you must have paid some money to the former school?

Thank you for answering my questions. I am yet to pay anything to any of the schools. However, the one with the better offer has asked me to pay by June ending while the first but not-so-good offer requires me to pay by July ending. This in itself is a dilemma on which one i should pay for. Alternatively, I could pay for the two especially if the embassy requires that I pay for the "not-so-good" school i applied it. However, I would lose $1,400 which is said to be non-refundable in their refund policy. Any advice please?

You write n/a

bamshy: What happens at the airport where you are given your Temporary resident visa? Do you need to provide all the docs you used for the permit? Also, if you have gotten a "better" offer, is presenting that offer instead of the one you used for study permit at the port of entry a bad idea?

This was my question Uncle Fhemmmy.... ...Now, i'm waiting for your answer

Fhemmmy:

You could talk to me off NL if you want to . . . Are you on Gmail? I am a Gmailer . . . not fun of Yahoo.

Uncle Fhemmmy, My question plsssssss

What happens at the airport where you are given your Temporary resident visa? Do you need to provide all the docs you used for the permit? Also, if you have gotten a "better" offer, is presenting that offer instead of the one you used for study permit at the port of entry a bad idea?

naijasexy: ^^You are very welcome.
That's what you should do. Only after getting your visa should you proceed to make arrangements for accommodation.

How do you play safe when the school says campus accommodation has a closing date?

luwylala: @bamshy. ​†HªŋKڪ a lot! Can I also include marriage pictures?

Personally i don't see what pictures got to do with applications. Besides your passport photographs, I think other pictures are without substance as they can not be verified. My opinion.

luwylala: Someone help pls! My sponsor is my sisters'§ husband he works with shell and has a gud financial stading to sponsor ‎​Mε. is there any thing wrong abt dat? Pls Wαt and Wαt will I need to show as proof(documents?) Pls reply

I think your sister's marriage certificate will confirm your relationship to the sponsor amongst other documents. Be sure to visit this new thread below constantly once you are done with your study permit process. It's meant to assist us all post-application.

Thanks and all the best

People who have benefited from the traveling to canada thread should please post here. Others who are resident in Canada should also share their views. Thanks.
